Can He Mean II.

Attorney General White is credited with
saying: 'I.think the court gave too much
consideration to tho evidence of Reiman's
generally good cbaracter. They evident
ly forget that men OF generally good char.
acter have beon guilty of liko offensos;
and there are many to day who occupy
the highest places in the councils of the
mutton who have not only been guilty Of
similar otfonces but perhaps, have attain.
cd to those high places by means Of sys-
tematic and successful bribery at elections
and there are Others who arc seeking to
attain to those high places by the same
practices. = Therefore, l must confess hat
l cannot soc how good character generally
can possibly DO taken into account in such
cases.
This is pretty plain language and com.
ing from Attorney General White carries
additional weight with the way in which
he looks upon those holding office who are
elected to the same by the voIes of, tho
people.

Modern Wiseacres,

Why is it? Take an ordinary college
professor, especially one who has gradu-
atcd within 10 years, and even remotely
express an opinion upon his pedagogical
speciality, and he will stare at you in
way that fully expresses his contempt for
men who rush in with views on matters
concerning which they are presumed to
know little. And yet the country is full
of college professors whose 'sheepskin"
still has Il fresh smell who will unhesi-
tatingIy, in the papers through the maya
zines and Oh the platform. ventilate their
opinions upon the most intricate prob
lens in government, politics. finance.
trade, transportation, religion, foreign re-
lations, municipal control, gas, water.

ADJUSTMENTS.
MlNSTRELS.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

At the time of the formation of
George Thatcher's Greatest Min
strels. which is to be seen here for
the first time on tomorrow night at
the Grand Opera House. There was
considerable talk of how different
it was to be from all that had gone
before. The public, not unnatur-
ally perhaps. inquired, somewhat
doubtingly, how, after all, one
minstrel show could differ from
another. The management OF the
above company has positive opin-
ions on this subject. Its idea OF
minstrelsy in that ii must, in mll-
steal way, have all the value of
opera; that it must exceed in novel
ty; that it must retain a tinge OF the
pictureSqueness of the plantation,
and it must please the ear BY vocal
and orchestral excellence; and must
astoniSh the mind by the absolute
novelty Of the special features and
the spectacular character OF its
finale. The management believes,
in fact, that mlnstrelSy, or fatner
the minstrelsy Of the future such as
it has inaugurated, should draw
all that is best from every form OF
entertainment known to the stage,
uniting them in pot pourri OF up
to-dateness. All should go with a
dash, rapidly and sparkle of the
ideal farce-comedy. The brightest,
latest icsts, a touching ballad, a
screamingly funny song, Il refrain
OF the old-time darky, monologue
of quainte>t humor, the twinklIng
of dancing feet grace, skill, melody
fun, all these following on one an
others heels with electric swift
ness, and with color, light, beauty,
brilliancy everywhere-that's mod
ern minstrelSv according to up-to-
date managers.

OUR OLDEST NEWSPAPER.
The Newport Mercury Claims First
HOnOrs In America.

The Newport Mercury Claims First
HOnOrs In America.
The Newport Or. - Mercury claims to
be the Oldest newspaper in America. 1t
was founded by relative Of Benjamin
Franklin nearly century and half ago
and has been in existence ever since
without change of name. 1t was one Of
the few papers in America to publish the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS. Its first
issues were printed on an antiquated
hand press
How The Mercury came into being is
an interesting story. In the year 1717
James Franklin brought Ramage print
ing press from London and opened a
Winting establishment in Boston. His
brother, the great philosopher, Benjamin
TRankln, was bound out to him to learn
his trade. and the two brothers worked
together for several years.
In 1888 James Franklin started the
first paper published in Rhode Island,
called the Rhode Island Gazette. This
publication also was short lived, having
been discontinued at the end Of six
months for want of patronage.
Just previous to his brothers death
Benjamin visited him after an absence of
ten years. Being in feeble health and
feeling that he had but n short time to
live. James obtained his brothers. prom
ise that in the event of his death Benja-
min would take his young nephew to
Philadelphia with him and teach him the
printers trade. Accordingly at his IA
theirs death the boy went with his uncle,
to Philadelphia.
In 1888 the son, James, returned to
Newport and set up his press, the same
his father had brought from London in
1717 and upon which Benjamin Franklin
had learned bis trade as II printer. This
press remained in the Office till 1859,
when it was purchased by Mr.. John B.
Murray of New York and by. him pre-
sentcd to the Massachusetts Historical
society, by whom it is still exhibited at
the society's rooms in Boston,
On the 10Th of June, 1853, the first
Newport Mercury made its appearance.
1t was little sheet of four pages, each
page measuring but II by inches, and
was sent forth under difficulties not to be
understood at this day when the news
paper is considered necessity to all, but
was then luxury in which but few in
dulged. 1t lived, and, although after q
few years no more is known of its found
er, he having left Newport suddenly new
or to return, his mother, Mrs. Ann
Franklih, placed her imprint on the pa
per and issued it as before.
The Mercury was published under sue I
cessive owners and with only one inter-
ruption up to the present time.-Fourth

A STAR FANCY FOR A CHILD.

When summer nights are warm and dry.
, The scorpion, with his flaming eye,
Y Down in the south as twilight grows
Watches the lily and the rose
He sees the poppcs and the stocks.
The sunhowers and the hollyhocks:
Though all the trees are thick and green,
: With his red eye he looks between. =
But when the nights begin to freeze
Eastward behind the naked trees
Orion lifts his head to spy
Those stars that in the garden lie.
The Scorpion told him how they grew,
Purple and pink and white and blue;
So night by night Orion soes
To find the lily and the rose.
Night after night you see him stride y
Across the south at Christnastide;
Though all the fields are white with snow,
He watches iof those stars to blow.
But when IT'S near his time to rest,
Leaning his head toward the west,
When April nights are sharp and clear,
He sees those garden stars appear.
For just before he sinks from sight
lie sees the borders strown with light,
And looking back across the hills,
Beholds the shining dafodilJ.
