Good Horse Sense.

The Mexican burros ascertain where
to dig for water by closely observing
the surface Of the ground. One OBJ
server writes:
1--WE had found water in an arroyo
Of a sufficient quantity to make cof-
fee, when we saw three burros search
ing for water. They passed several
damp places, examining the ground
closely, when the leader halted near us
and began to paw hole In the hot,
dry sand. Having dug a hole some
thing over foot in depth, he backed
out and watched 1t intently. To our
surprise 1t soon began to fill with wa
ter. Then he advanced, took drink
and stepped aside for his companions
to drink. When they went away, we
drank from their we'll and found the
water to be much cooler than any we
had found for many a day. There is
no witchcraft about Mexican burros,
but they have good horse sense"

The Troubles of the MOrmOns.

He says: "Over hundred branches were

tinctly political. They do not attack oul
doctrines and cannot dispute the good We
do. We have established branches in
places where hitherto there has been nei

II am a Jew"

These were the words uttered by the
unfortunate Dreyfus now on second
trial before French court martial
That sentence followed the orders thai
sent the wronged captain of artillery te
devils Island" When did it become
a crime to be Jewp In France or any
other country one man is supposed tc
DO the equal Of any other; but when
Captain Dreyfus uttered those words he
sounded the key note to the true situa'
ton in our own country in both local,
state and national affairs.
If we recall the various city meetings
during the past few months there will
come to the mind a companion sentence
to the one at the head of this article.
"Mr. is talking for political ef-
fect.n This assertion has so often been
repeated by certain local speaker that
it is almost time to ring the ancient
chestnut bell on it. Whenever tax
payer has the courage to speak his hon
est convictions and dares to cross GER
tain path he is at once accused OF beng a
"sore head" and talking politics. In
other words, that policy is adopted for
the purpose of intimidiating those whose
opinions lead them along line differ
ent from that which it pleases our estl-
mable Mayor to follow. Often these at
lacks have been made against men who
have had no political axe to grind and
no ..sore head' to battle in Pecks Pond
Thus, as in the case of Captain Dreyfus,
innocent men have been accused, and
changed little the sentence reads :;
"My only crime is that | oppose the
Mayor"
With this kind of tactics the $16O.OOO
water plant of pipe and holes was pur-
chased, but there is another oft repeated
and unkind remark. {" He is only a
small taxpayer, what right has he to
speak in city meeting ?" 1t is mighty
lucky thing for certain officials that our
poll taxpayers have not spoken, but
from recent events it is safe to say that
they propose to be heard in the future.
Captain Dreyfus may be jew but he
will vet WIN out ine the army scandal
and our taxpayers may have remained
silent but the volcano of public opinion
is likely to break forth at any time and
cause some interesting and instructive
discussions.
What is true in city affairs is also the
rule in the state, unless a man has an
ancient family pedigree, wears an an
cestor's hat or attends public junkets
he has no right to ask for political hon
ors,
This trial of Captain Dreyfus we
rust will be able to change the Or
Ter of things not only in Paris but
elsewhere.

questions propounded to her by the min
lister in filling out the blank for the bu-
reau of vital statistics. She said her
mothers name was Mary Lockwood and

born in New Orleans. In the line in
tended for the name of the father of the
bride the minister had written, asked;
not given

turn simply MARY Sixbe," while Balfour
Kerr subscribed himself "Wiliam' Kerr.
On this account the names attracted no
