PLEASURES OF COUNTRY LIFE.
tNorfolk Virginian and Pilot.

The person who does not love life
in the country has lost the best part
OF his life by being cast out OF the
garden of Eden at An eaglv period OF
life, to be artiticially reared on the
sights, sounds and smells Of the
streets, alleys and sewers of some
city. lie knows nothing OF real
home life-cities have very little, a.
a rule, only number so and SO, such
a street. He has very little sense Of
home joys and affections, the pure
air and water Of the country; IFS holy
quietudes and gentle appeals to all
the senses; its solitudes, where
tumult and mob never intrude; its
delightful woods: it's sports and
pleasures; its loves and friendship.
undefiIed by the dust and CRIME Of
crowded tenements and throngef
throughfares; its sacred privilege.
and seclusions; it's leisure; its free
dom and independence from the in
trusions and demands Of hurrying
urban life; and its sacred exemptions
from the gross contacts of the
busting and crowded streets
all these, and more akin to them.
make the rural existence a perpetual
delight. undefiled by the condition
that attend the constant pressure oi
mixed and crowed population.

lands, the packed courts decided in
their favor, and the friars got cane
fields, rice fields, cocoa groves and
houses in lieu of the jungles which
they had lost. Not only they did not
allow anything for the Improvements
which the natives had made, but
they absolutely sued the natives
for back rents for the Jungle, which
their labor had turned into product
i've fields. When the late owners OBJ
jected to this they were sent to Bala-
bae to die in exile.
The natives are Catholics and need
the services of priests of their own
faith. 1t would be wise to send out
there as many American Catholic
priests as possible-men Of clean
lives who would teach and not op-
press their flocks.
All good government rests on good
finance. What is good finance for one
country is not good for another Of
widely different civilization and hab-
it's. The Filipinos are accustomed to
pay taxes through the custom houses,
both as import and export duties.
These taxes are paid without friction.
and almost without the knowledge of
the consumer of the goods or produ
Ger of the exported articles. A prop
er adjustment of these import and
export duties would bring enough
revenue for the Philippine govern
ment, leaving the field of direct taxa
ton for the provincial government.
The existing Philippine tariff is not
designed to produce revenue, but to
aid Spanish manufacturers at the ex-
pense of the revenue. 1t should be
amended. l have emphasized export
duties because we do not have them
in the United States and they are
particularly well suited to the Philip
pines.
The key to successful government
of the Philippines is an honest and
permanent civil service filled by men
whom good pay and security in their
positions raise above the temptation
to make Illicit gains. 1t is impos-
sible to get a decent service on other
conditions. No fit men will break
up their connections at home for
short tenure of office. Unfit men will
do so, but they are not wanted.

ATTEND THE LIBEL LAW.

1t is hoped that the Legislature
will give considerate attention to
the measure before it to amend the
libel laws of the State. This paper
need not tell it's readers that none of
them despises reckless and licenti-
Gus press more than it does. The
newspapers need to be held by the
law to a proper accountability for
their utterances, and yet they ought
to have an even chance under the
law with a prosecutor, and this they
do not now enjoy. News
paper men are entitled to no more
consideration from the law than
butchers or bankers, or candle-stick
makers, but they are entitled to as
much, and we hope the present Gen
eral Assembly will give it to them by
passing the bill now before it to
amend the libel law-Charlotte o.
serrcr.
In this connection we print the
following from the Baltimore Sun:
Senator Jelks. of Barbour county,
has introduced in the Alabama
Senate bill that provides for the
amending of the section of the code
regulating actions for SANDER and
libel. This bill is intended to give
the newspapers of the State some
protection under the law of libel.
1t provides that when by mistake OF
inadvertence an injurious publication
is made, If the same is retracted or
apology made within five days from
demand. then the party aggriev'
ed shall be considered sufficiently
recompensed and the matter dropped
The press of Alabama is earnest in
support of Mr.. Jelks' bill.

Simply said: "She knowed it,"
Talked O. this, an talked o. that
Till my tongue got weary;
Made remarks about the cat,
But still KEEP fur from Mary!
Old clock licked an ticked awav,

BROUGHT KNIGHT BACK
The Career of One of Clarks
Politicians Interrupted.
A GRAND LARCENY CASE
He Is Charged With Taking 1855 Willis
He Was Constable at South Butte
and Blowing 1t In on a
Faro Game.

John 3. Knight, ex-constable and a
former politician, who in his time has
been prominent among the w. A. Clark
republicans, is in the county Jail under
a charge of grand larceny. He was
brought back from Weiser, Idaho. yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Aware, and
later was arraigned in Justice Harring-
toms court and his preliminary trial
set for Wednesday,.
MI Aware experienced considerable
delay in securing requisition papers,
owing to the absence Of the governor
from Boise, and while he was waiting
for his return knights friends at
Weiser raised SIS. with which an attor-
ney was employed and haheas corpus
proceedings begun before Judge Stewart
at Boise. Knight was taken to that
city and preparations commenced for
| hard fight to prevent Knights Icing
taken back to Butte. The county a.
torney at Boise represented the deputy
sheriff and attacked the writ on the
ground that the papers served on the
officer had not been certified to by the
clerk of the court. A motion to quash
the writ was sustained and before fur
Their steps could be taken by Knights
attorney he was on the way to Butte
with the deputy aheriff.
1t is said that during his residence
in Weiser Knight had already become
quite a somebody and was fast acquir-
ing a reputation as politician and
stump speaker, and. if he had not been
interrupted in his career by such vul-
gar proceeding as arrest for grand lar
ccny, he might soon have been as prom
inent at Weiser as he once was in Butte
and been rewarded by election 10 Office
OF some kind or any kind.
When Knight was constable for

as cash bond in an attachment suit,
and lost it playing faro, after which

WOODWARD STOCK COMPANY.
"Incog" Three Act Comedy. to Be Pres
sented at Suttom's.

4
sented at Sutton's.
Tomorrow, commencing with a Sun
day matinee, the Woodward Stock COM
pany will present at Sutton's new the
alter the very funny three act comedy
that brought, Charles Dickson to the
front and was played by him through
out the country to excellent business.
This company has played the comedy
for three seasons and consider it one
of it's best productions. The company's
versatility will not be questioned when
the play is presented as it will prove
that they are at ease in all kinds of
dramatic work.
The following is a brief synopsis of
the play: Tom Stanton, the son of
dyspeptic father. is stopping at the Sea
View hotel with his father and the lat
in love with the companion: his father
objects to his suit and wishes him to
marry his ward, who is an he,ress. Tom
refuses and is driven out by his father.
While walking through the grounds
Tom finds a photograph and then dis
guises to look like the picture and re-
turns to the hotel. His father does not
recognize him and favors his suit for
Hates hand, thinking it will get her
out of his sons way. All goes we'll UNI
til the original of the photograph turns
up and then the latter's twin brother
who is his counterpart, comes on the
scene and. therefore, three people look
ing exactly alike appear and case of
mistaken identity occurs. A general
mix-up takes place but Tom comes out
victorious in the end. The play is full
of the most laughable situations and
excruciating climaxes.

The trial of the suit of Olivia H. Hop

possession of two lots in the Hopkins
addition to Butte was resumed in Judge
Lindsay's department of the district
court yesterday morning and ended in
a verdict for the plaintiff.
John A. Cannon. witness for the
plaintiff, was asked by counsel if he
was not hostile towards the defendant.
Jones, and he replied that on Thanks
giving day Jones called at his office
on East Granite street and said to the
witness that if he had heard his. the
defendants, testimony. witness would
change his evidence. Il did not like II
a Bit said Mr.. Cannon. L don't
change my testimony for anybody
The books OF the real estate firm of
Murphy & Cannon were then intro
t.uced in evidence, showing an entry
nfN& as rent collected from Mr.. Jones
for the use of the property in 1887. J.
Murphy, former partner of Cannon,
Informed the jury that he had stated
TO Jones that the firm of Murphy &
Cannon, as agents of Mrs. Hopkins. was
about to bring suit against the squat
tiers on the Mary Louise lode ciaim and
that the defendant then and there paid
a months rent so as to avoid being
sued, and made no claim of any title
to the ground. BY consent of counsel,
the case will be submitted on briefs to
be filed later.
The case of Tim j. Shea againts Sher-

Co. The defendants deny that Shea
was an employe, and claim that he was
Hoffman's partner in business and is
not entitled to wages. The plaintiff
testified in his own behalf and proved
the Indebtedness due. On cross-eXam-
ina ton he admitted that counter tabs
had been printed, showing his name
as member of the firm. and said that
their circulation was restricted to a
few friends of his, residing in Dublin

FRED B0YsON ESCAPED
Prosecuting Witness Against
Him Didn't Appear.
SECOND DEGREE ASSAULT
He Did Up c. F. Arnold With a Ri],v.
The Injured Man Said to Have Re-
ceived a Money Considera-
ton for Disappearing.

Fred Boyson, charged with assault in
the second degree, escaped prosecution,
like many other defendants in state
cases, because the prosecuting witness
has disappeared. He had assaulted one
c. b. Arnold with billy and did
him up" badly He was to have had
his trial yesterday, but when the case
was called County Attorney Connolly
made statement to the court that the
sheriff had been unable to find Arnold,
who had left the jurisdiction of the
court. and that without his testimony it
would be useless to go to trial, so the
defendant was discharged. 1t is stated
on good authority that Arnold settled
the affair to his own satisfaction and
got hundred or more dollars out of it,
besides which Boyson paid Arnold's
doctor bill. 1t is understood that Ar
mold is at present somewhere in Idaho.
The two men were formerly employed
by Henry MuntZer at the Butte brew
cry, Arnold as bookkeeper and Boyson
as bartender. One night Boyson was
taking part in crap game and a dis
pute arose, and charges of unfair play
ing were made. Arnold who had been
watching the game, sided against Boy
son, and a fight resulted during which
the billy" was brought into use Ar
mold was sent to the hospital, and after
| wards caused Boyson's arrest and for
that he lost his position a the brewery.
He afterwards settled the affair and
left the state.
The trial of John Hesley for the MUIR
der Of John G. Currie is set for to-day,
but it is likely that the state will ask
| for a continuance because of the abb
| sence of several witnesses for the pros
| ecution. Hesley is the man who killed
ho h tod
| and winked at Mrs. Hesley. He follow
| ed him several blocks and broke his
head with blow from a stick Of wood.
| 1t was stated yesterday that the pros
| ecuting witness against Owen Thornton
and several other young lads. who are
awaiting trial for burglary, in order to
be within the prevailing fashion, has
| also left the jurisdiction of the district
court. and his present whereabouts are
| unknown. He is dead.

The fine new Atlantic street school
house, which will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000, is nearly finished and
will be ready for occupancy after the
holidays. The new desks are expected
to arrive early next week, when force
of workmen will be engaged to clean
out the rooms and prepare for the
desks. 1t is one Of the finest buildings
in the city and an ornament to the part
Of town in which it is located. When

the crowded condition of some of the
other buildings. The daily attendance
at the schools Is near the 5000 mark.
The big Aluminium street school house
will be ready for occupancy before

plenty of room for all the children. The
only extension now under consideration
is an addition to the Monroe school in
