WE do not think the investigation
being conducted BY Attorney Cen
eral Ward will amount to anything.
There may have been some things
the old Levy Court sanctioned, but
we do not look for any big swndle
TO he unearthed. One thing looks
bad and that is that the lnyestIga-
ton is being conduced behind clos.
ed doors, representatives oil the
press being denied admlttance, 1t
the proceedings are kept IRON the
public. people will not have much
faith in this investigation. The
Every Evening in commenting edi-
tora.ly upon the sub ject says:
This morning Attorney General
Ward began his investigation into
the affairs OF the Levy Court OF New
Castle county for the past three
wears. The iuvestlg alton is being
ing conducted in his office at the
Court House.
While it would be impossible to
conduct the investlg alton IN such u
place with large crowd present.
it was expected. upto this morning
that the lnvestig alton would be pub
lie in 40 far that newspaper repre-.
sertatlves would be admitted tor
the purpose OF reporting the testl-
mony ard thus inform the people OF
the proceedings through the medium
OF the press. But Attorney Gener-
al Ward, Just before investigation
began, announced that no reporters
would be permitted to be present,
Ia making this decision Attorney
General Ward has committed a
= ,grieyous error. He is making a
star chamber investigation out OF
matter in which all the people OF
the county have d deep concern,
and of the details of which they
are entitled to the fullest KIN owledgc
Thew could only be so informed by
REQ > of the investigation in the
nv papers, and this being denied
them, they will be keptin ignorance.
We are sorry that Attorney Cen
eral Ward has taken this unwisc
and iniuoic,ous step. We believe
that the people have thus far looked
upon him as conscientious, as
well as an able official, and one whc
would perform his iull duty, with
out tear or favor. 10 dlssipatc
this flattering public estimate by
his own act would indeed be mat
ter OF regret.

Temperance in Glasgow.

Devotion to Temperance impresses
the visitor more forcibly than any
other feature of Glasgow life except,
perhaps, its capacity for whisky. The
strictest regard for the great cause
animates the authorities in all their
dealings with public affairs. Every
bailie, every magistrate is temper
ance advocate, and needs to be to pre-
serve the esteem of his fellow citizens.
For every citizen is convinced and
sincere upholder of the temperance
cause. No matter how many WHISTLES
he may take in the course of a day, he
never loses faith in his principles. In
deed, he seems to find that his tenn
perance principles are strengthened and
his exposition of them facilitated by
the consistent use of whisky. The fact
seems to be that in Glasgow to drink
whisky is not to indulge in strong
drink. The Scotch are a hardy,
healthy and vigorous race, and to them
the national drink is not liquor; it is
merely a liquid. They take it just as
they breathe the bracing air, as one Of
the ordinary conditions of existence.

An English commercial traveller, for
whose pushing Americanism a Liver
pool paper vouches with great enthusi-
asm, started out after a country order.
Happening to arrive at the village on
the day of festival he found the shop
Of his customer closed and learned
that the man himself was at the celc-
bration a mile out of town. At once
he set out for the spot, and reached
the ground just in time to see his
shopkeeper climb into a balloon pro-
cured for special ascensions. The man
of trade was equal to the occasion. He
stepped forward paid his fare and
climbed into the car. Away went the
balloon, and was hardly above the
tree-tops when the commercial trav-
eler turned to his astonished victim,
and said persuasively but triumphant
ly: "And now. sir. what IAN I do for
you in calicoes?''-Youth's Companion

Get out and stay out" replied tho
superintendent. i can run this place
without any advice from beggar."
Flushing deeply the girl turned to
me with pleading look:
Please, please do as he says; for
my sake. can't stand any more of
these horrors"
II WILL" responded. "for your
sake"
With look Of gratitude she turned
and left the room l carried coal all
day under the oaths and blows of two
brutal keepers.
That night as I lay exhausted and
suffering, but thinking all the time of
the fair young girl with the sad face
and wondering how it would look IL
the owner were happy, the door of my
cell opened. there was swish of gar
see the angel Of my vision.
"Not word" she whispered. 1T
is worth your life and mine"
when the clock strikes one" she
whispered, "open your door, turn to
the right and you will find the window
at the end of the corridor open. You
must drop twenty feet and climb the
wall. The keeper is drunk Uncle is
going away at half past eleven. will
unlock the door," She unfastened the
irons on my hands and feet and in an
instant she was gone.
The next morning at 8 o'clock
stood before the man most wronged by
Ripley in the affair of the doctored
books. My terrible earnestness per-
suaded him to investigate. Within two
weeks the newspapers were filled with
details of the terrible scandal and of
the downfall of Lemuel Ripley, who
now occupied cell in the county jail
awaiting trial on criminal charge.
This is the end of my story. l might
go on and tell of how the people
who received their money made
me most handsome payment for my
services and how I secured fine
position; and, might even tell how
I braved the lion in his den. and in
sisted on carrying away the girl who
had saved me, from that horrible asy-
lum, but my wife says that is a matter
which concerns only two.

on the stand and testified that I was
unquestionably insane.
I saw through the whole affair in a
minute. was to be buried alive in a
mad house. All the clerks followed
Ripley's lead and each spoke Of my
particular delusion to the effect that
Mr.. Ripley's books had been tam
pered with. In despair and anger I
told the story Of Ripley's guilt. In a
moment I saw my fatal mistake. The
face Of the judge showed that he was
convinced that was mad. How could
he think otherwise when it is consid-
cred what Mr.. Ripley's reputation was?
The result of it all was that I was de-
clared insane and ordered confined in
an asylum. Ripley wiping his eyes as
in the deepest grief offered to pay my
expenses in a private institution where
I might be "better cared for" I cried
out against it raved and begged not
to be put in Ripley's power but this
was thought to be a part Of my delu-
sion.
Words cannot portray the horrors of
that asylum It was one of those dens
run by the most brutal and unscrupu-
lous of men. On the way was drug
ged and when came to my senses 1
was in irons. My head ached and I
was nearly maddened at the hopeless
ness of my position. I cried out and
beat the bars hopelessly in my i'm
potent rage. A keeper came in pres
emily and 1 demanded fercely to be
freed. He knocked me down and
kicked me with his heavy boots. I
will not describe the days that fol-
lowed. The tale would be too grue-
some.
One day I was taken to the office and
Informed that I was to help carry coal
to the cellar. I had given up all hope
and sincerely courted death.
"Not a stroke of work will do Tor
you" replied. mot stroke"
ooh you WON'T" replied the super
intendent with menace In his voice.

"Do your worst" cried throwing
nv head back, my eyes blazing with
anger. "You know that am no more
insane than you are. You know why
I am here. You know what my rate
is to be and it can't come too quick.
AS 1 began this speech the door
opened and there came into the room
the fairest vision Of loneliness had
ever seen. A young girl in the flower
of womanhood, with eyes like stars,
and a perfection Of feature, form and
carriage that was only marred by an
expression of unutterable sadness. She
paused and glanced at me and when
I had finished, said:
ooh, uncle, don't. Haven't we mad
