Jackson and the TaiIor,s Dill.

A gentleman in Pennsylvania has a
queer document which came into his
family's possession many years ago
and shows an interesting phase of An
drew Jackson's character as we'll as q
glimpse of the simple times Of his pres
idential term.
1t appears that n clerk In the state
department contracted a tailor's bill for
$G4.50. and the tailor, finding himself
unable to collect the amount, laid the
matter before the president in an ap-
pealing letter.
Jackson promptly decided that this
was a matter to which he must attend
personally, so he transmitted the tai
lor's letter 10 the secretary of state,
with this strong recommendation:
Referred to the secretary OF state. II on inquiry
the fact stated be true, unless the clerk pays up
his debt let him be forthwith discharged.
The government would become party to such
swindling provided it permitted its officers to be-
come indebted for necessaries and not that
they paid their debts out OF their salaries.
Honest men will pay their debts. Dishonest
men must not be employed by the government.

When Turtles Were Big.

OF the turtles it may be said that
they represent the most ancient type of
all vertebrates. resembling closely as
they do the reptiles of their kind which
existed so far back as the mesozoic era.
There were sea tortoises during that
epoch which measured 90 feet in spread
of hippers, while some tertiary tor
toises were not less big in body, meas
uring u feet from head to tail.

THE CAMPAIGN.

The New, Orleans Harlequin is
anxious to open the state politica!
campaign at this early date, and
discuss political matters with the
people, the voters, and lot them
have their say in the choice and Sc
lection of the officers who are to
run their 1.-THE peoples) business
affairs, but the Capitolian Advo-
cate, the administration paper is
opposed to the people putting their
noses in the political affairs OF the
state, except to vote for'the candi-
dates that the administration will
dictate to the packed convention
in the old style fashion.
The Messenger is not much con-
cerned in the state political affairs,
because the political machine in
the country is generally in the
hands of people who are in accord
with the state ring, and as there is
only one political party in the
state, it is natural to expect that
the administration, not the people
are going to select the next state
ticket; as the Capitolion-Advocate
is we'll informed on this point We
presume it wants to prevent tht
Harlequin from going into lots o
trouble for nothing, as the Harle
uuin' efforts will not amount t(
much Under circumstances as the.
are now.
From the other standpoint, tn
Harlequin is perfectly right, th'
people should always have ampl
time to discuss the political affair
Of the state, and such matter
should always be discussed befor
the selection of delegates that &
to the state convention to be die
tated by the state ring how the
| are to vote aud who they are t
: vote for, and in sending delegate
to such conventions, the people
the voters, should pledge and II
D struct their delegates to vote fo
c certain measures and for cand
+ dates of the peoples selection, an
n not submit to the command of th
state ring.
