GOVERNOR GAMBLER.

Governor Gambler, in his message to
the legislature, says that some impor-
tant changes in our organic law are de-
sirable most intelligent persons are
agreed, and with this sentiment | am
in full accord.
The ballot should be restricted.
Provisions should be made for bienni-
al sessions of the general assembly.
A maximum rate of state taxation
should be fixed in the constitution.
A rule should be prescribed requiring
that all appropriation bills be passed
and submitted to the governor not less
than ten days before the expiration by
limitation of the session, as a safeguard
against hasty and extravaganza appro-
priation of the public money.
The governor and the judges of the
superior courts should be given power
to order change of venue in certain
criminal cases.
The machinery for authorizing the
collection of local taxes for the support
of common schools should be simplified
He urges that law relieving the col
leges of the state from taxation be en-
acted he suggests the passage of such
Legislation as will permit change of
venue in trials for assault and other
capital felonies when there is danger of
mob violence; he suggests parole law
like unto Ohio's; he asks that action be
taken providing for the preservation of
the state archives.
The governor says taxes must be re-
duced, and the only places where the
knife can be applied is to the appropri-
ations for schools and pensions. Con-
fine pensions to those surviving Confed-
crate soldiers and the widows of those
who are dead, who are physically unable
to support themselves by their labor
! and who have no other means of sup
port, and contine your free schools to
1.-The elementary branches of an English
education only" as provided by the
constitution. In this way and in no
other you can materially reduce your
tax rate. For purposes of higher edu-
cation let each community impose local
taxes to supplement the states appro-
pTiation. This is the law, and this is
equity and justice, and anything be-
! You'd this is unlawful, unnecessary and
unjust He advocates the issuing of 9
Der cent. bonds to pay teachers.

Mixed MetaphorS

There are many stories eXtant OF
mixed metaphors. and some amusing
ones have just been added by an "Old
Member Of the House" writing to the
London News, who says:
"The amusing instance of confused
metaphor which you quote in your
Notes and News, and which speaks Of
the necessity of training backbone
and bringing it To the front, reminds
me that the clergyman whom YOU cite
was not the first TO take liberties with
this portion of the human frame. A
somewhat similar story was current in
the Smoldng-rOom of the House of
Commons fifteen years ago A well
known figure in the House was Sir
George Balfqu, he Liberal member
for KincardnpShire. In committee he
was al inypterate critic of all Ind an
was speaking with emphasis Of the
wisdom Of keeping the Indian army
Differed by British and Irish soldiers,
and in the course of his remarks he as
sured the House that the white face of
a European in our Indian forces Is the
backbone of our army On another o.
casion Sir George was addressing him
self to some Indian financial question
and was ritiiculng what he considered
to he the petty nature Of the proposals
which were iJeinG put forward Even
if you carried these peddling little re-
forms he exclaimed. ii would only be
like feabte in the ocean.

A Staupe lie.


one day when Johnstons army was
in Mississippi. says the Atlanta Consti-
tuition. the soldiers noticed n very
meek looking cow tied to tree right
In the middle Of the camps. They
thought nothing unusual was the mar,
ter. however That night thirty thor
sand men turned in" and went to
sleep little dreaming that the old cow
was going to disturb anybody About
midnight some practical tolscrs tied Il
brushy limb TO the cows tail and gavG
her start In life. She did not disap.
point the expectations of her friends,
but made wild dash through the
darkness. trampling over the sleeping
soldiers and dragging the brush over
their PROSTATE forms The howls and
yells that followed In her wake added
to her terror and faster and faster sha
went until she had run over the biggest
portion of Johnston's army. TO add 10
the confusion nobody knew exactly
what was the matter. The only thing
anybody did know was that wide
streak Of profanity was running
through the camp in n zlgzag fashion.
but only the practical ioters could
guess the cause. Next day there Was
big demand for sticking plaster. II

4 Soldier Boy.

During the Civil War Confederate
soldier one day saw boy IN the Union
Army uniform lying wounded in the
hot SIM. As the man passed the boy
had the courage to ask
"NelghbOr. won't you get me drink
Of waters I'm very thirsty"
"Of course / will, said the man. aud
he brought the water.
Encouraged by this the boy asked
again. Won't you get me taken u
the hospital? I'm badly wounded"
The man said: We'll. now. my bog.
If | get YOU taken care % and you get
well, 80 that you can 20 home again.

that:'
II vas a hard test for wounded
prisoner boy, but that boy stood the
test. Looking his captor 10 the eye he
said. firmly: THAT would. my friend.
Il tell you" said the soldier when
telling of II afterward. II liked that
pluck had that boy taken 10 the
hospital and good care taken of him.

Union soldier. from the south.

Union Soldiers from the South.
There We're many Southern boys in
the Union army" said the Major. who
had difficult parts to play. Some of
them. in the North attending school,
were carried into the three month regi-
ments on the wave of patriotism that
swept over the North whea Fort SUM
ter was fired on. At the time they be-
lieyed their people at home would stand
wiki them, and they enlisted without
consultation with parents or other rel
atiyes. When the real situation was un-
derstood they were greatly distressed.
While most of the men I'm our company
were carried over the period of home
sickness by encouraging letters from
home, the Southern boys were bur-
dened by the knowledge that their fam
lilies had disowned them.
TO the everlasting credit of these
men, IL should be said that they stood
every test and trial Most of them in
our regiment re-enlisted for three years
and were among our very best soldiers.
We carried one In victory to his old
home in Tennessee. We drove the en-
envy from the home of another in East
ern Kentucky and saw him welcomed
by his mother. We lost a dashlng
Louisianian before we were well ON
our way to Shiloh. and his death de-
pressed the company more than that
of any other occurring In the first year
of the war. We swept with another
into his native village In North Carolina
in the last year of the war to meet
with peculiar experience.
1--WE were on our northward march to
| Washington when we came TO the vii
lage of four or five hundred people. In
most of the towns we had found many
men but among all the people who
fioeked TO our line of march through
this town there Were only four men,
and these old and feeble. asked an
old darby, Where are all the men of
this town, uncle%' He replied, very
gravcly, You all done killed them all
AT one pop
This was literally true The men
and larger boys of the village had con.
stitutcd n full company in a Confeder-
ate regiment. In the vicinity of Rich
mond they were caught in a cross fire
of infantry and artillery and literally
annihilated, nearly a hundred men fall
ing. So It happened that the one man
of this town serving in n Union regi-
ment returned after nearly four years
of war to find not one of the young
men of the old time. to greet him or to
quarrel with him" Chicago Inter
