One day, a legal correspondent writes,
before the late lord chief justice took
sick, he was sitting in court, when an
other barrister, leaning across the
benches. whispered: Russell, what's
the extreme penalty for bigamy?' 'Two
mothers-iu-law,' instantly replied Rus
sell.
One one occasion Lord Russell went
to help the liberals in a certain cam
paign. He began his speech of set pur-
pose with some very badly pronounced
Scotch. After the confusion caused by
his apparent blunder had subsidized, Sir
Charles Russell Gas he then was) said:
Gentlemen, l do not speak. Scotch, bur
l vote Scotch Tremendous applause
followed. whereupon Sir Charles pro.
ceeded, and l sometimes drink Scotch
With this his hold on the audience was
secured.
Although unriyaled in the art of cross
examination, on one occasion he was dis
tinctly beaten by a witness. What is
your age?' he asked. rs it my age vol,

sir. Now, speak up and be exact

1t takes a wide stretch of the
imagination to enable a man to say that
frogs are fish. Yet a Connecticut judge
performed that feat the other day. In
order to be consistent and follow a prece-
lem that he must admire, he should. in
his next opinion, decide that snakes are

"A quaint Old hermit, known as
English jack has lived for many
years in a little house which he calls
''The House That Jack Built in the
White hills, near Portland, Me. He has
been in urn hunter, guide, fisherman
and seller CT Indian curiosities, and holds
aloof from the toll and turmoil of life.
He loves most to look at the hills and the
sky, and while silently smoking think of
the Wonder and beauty of nature. HE

with childlike confidence to the Infinite
Goodness, and knows no fear. Once a
minister was talking With him concerns
ing religious things, and happened to
say that he should be afraid there in the
mountains alone. With God" asked
Jack With surprise. Summed up in a
few words, the creed of the old man is
that, L want to be honest. l want to
help every one I can. l must not kill
any beast. fish or bird unless | need food.
l must think no wrong Of anybody, and
I must envy nobody. | must use the
men about me as l want to be used.
Having lone all this, l want to be still
and not trouble myself about the future.

Mr.. Heinze's delegation was pleading for
seats in the convention. they were loud
in their protestations of loyalty to the
republican party. Not a word escaped
them rejecting Upon the character or in
dependence Of Jhs s2nysn'ion. Not q
remote suggestion even, that it was con-
trolled Or dominated by the Standard Oil
trust or the Amalgamated Copper COM
pay. BY every means in their power, by
every argument at their command. they
sought the honor of seats with its men,
bers and the privilege of participating in
its deliberations They went further and
said, in proof of their republican ortho-
doxy, that even though the COMMITTEES
decided that they We're not entitled to
would be found loyalty supporting the
ticket.
ion OF the convention had hardly been
rendered. denying them seats. befor,
they were filing the air with threats of
vengeance. With charges that the repub-
lean convention was owned and con-
trulled by the andar Oil trust. and
with open declarations that they would
defeat the ticket etc. etc. They came
back to Butte and Immediately entered
into the fusion movement. got their share
of the spoils ana did all thai lay in their
power against the republican ticket,
county state ana national, thus confirm
ing by their own actions the charge made
by this journal at the time. that their
whole policy was the result of a deliber-
ate conspiracy entered into with the flu
sion wing of the democratic party to di-
vide republicans in the interest of demo-
cratic success. This is the record of Mr..
Heinze's first attempt to break into the
republican party of this state. It GER
tainly is not a creditable one, viewed
from the standpoint of political morality.
and With this record staring him in the
succeed, ever with the valuable assist
ance of the Helena Independent. in Sc
50 inconsistent as to seek it. which we
think wholly improbable.
Just what was the value rendered by
Mr.. Heinza and his followers and en-
ployees to the fusion movement we an
not say. His friends are not slow to as
sert tina without him it would have fail
"a entirely. This is probably an eNag-
geratiun. But whatever service he rem
dered in the campaign was rendered to
that party without qualification or res
ervation. No NN~d escaped him in any
public speech c~ommendatory Of any re-
publican candidate or any republican
principle. Therefore. if any political re-
ward is due him, 1t is due from the flu
sion elements for whose success he la
bored and not from the men or the party
he did so much to defeat. And it is the
basest sort of ingratitude for the Inde-
pendent, and other democratic newspa-
pers, and democratic politicians, after
having used him to boost themselves into
power, to now try to evade the payment
of their obligations by attempting to
unload him Upon the party he repudiat-
ed and betrayed.
If Mr.. Heinze is really looking for po-
litical hOnors. of which we are not ad-
vised, he is no doubt astute enough not
to overlook the present opportunity for
demanding value received for service
rendered, and to make the demand upon
the parties in whose interests he la
bored.

CROPS AND WEATHER
THE MONTH REPORTED FROM
WASHBURN OBSERVATORY.
RAINFALL NEAR AVERAGE
But Farmers of Dane County Would
Have Appreciated More Humidity
of the Month Was Great, But Tenn
perature Mott Far From Normal
The Crop Outlook

The month of June thus far seems to
have been unusually warm and dry
but this is not really the
case if we can believe the
reports that issue from Washburn
observatory. The records there do not
show remarkably high temperatures
for the month, but rather an excess OF
humidity, which renders moderate
heat oppressive and induces the aver
age citizen to discredit the thermome-
ter. AS to rainfall, while all could
wish more might have fallen, it cannot
b. said that we have been altogether
forg often, for the records show pre-
cipita ion for the month so far of 800
inches. In June 1899 the precipitation
was but 2.64 inches, while the same
month the year before 4.40 inches fell.
Nevertheless the farmers of Dane coun-
ty could have used considerably
greater rainfall Indications at pres
ent are that the crops generally, with
the exception perhaps, of corn,
will be somewhat below the
average. The oat crop is not
o11O w 1AS up FO1y well, d110 AclA LII
ers seen on the market yesterday do
not expect a very heavy harvest OF
that grain. Grass, they say, is also
light, and the clover crop in some sec
tons seems to be almost failure.
Corn appears to be doing well, and if
weather conditions from this on are
favorable there will doubtless be a
good yield. Tobacco operations have
been somewhat retarded by the recent
dry weather, but the plants are small
yet, and if the rainfall the rest of the
season is sufficient there ougnL to be a
good harvest of the leaf. Root crops
generally are reported in fair condition.
The berry crop, by reason Of the dry
weather of late, at a time when mostly
needed by Ferries, is likely to be rather
lighter than usual.
