The Truth About Wilmington.

In Harper's Cor August Moncure D. Conway gives us the histor yof the fable of Dick Wilmington and his cat, as seen in the light frecent investi- gation. Here is his summing up of the facts in the case:
 The entire story shows us a histOri- cal Englishman invested with a leg end not only untrue, but uncharacter- istic of him. The animus of the legend is plaint; it is moral tale In order to make the moral more striking, line after line of darkness has been added by successive rccitCrs to the lads life. and corresponding luster to the mans life, to make the transformation more marvellous. In the epitaph quoted. Fortune" and Providence" are both credited with the result. The British paterfamillas could hardly believe in hcaVcn-bl1st union without offspring consequently the virtuous pair are given children unknown to history. The very soul of London city. as distin- guished from the aristocratic nation. is expressed in the figment that Whiting ton was of mean birth. Long before every American boy was told he might become President, the London boy was told he might become a Lord Mayor, but 1t was not yet SO in Dick Whit tingtons time, and the legend probably took on that item when the city was becoming more democratic. After en- coura ging this democratic tendency, the conventional legend pays deference to early puritan elements. But the cockney element is paramount. The Bow Bell. the ancient curfew of Lon- don to whose sounds every apprentice rose and retired. was of old represent ed in rhymes and runes. Its sound" could not, of course. reach Hig'

Why He Kept His Seat.

The seats were crowded as the car reached the shopping district. but some women who had been spending their time al the stores pushed in and stood A man of military appearance who was sitting beside an active looking young mIn of about 30. waited a minute to See if his neighbor would give his seat to the woman who stood Immediately in front of him. and seeing that he showed no inclination to do so, arose. raised his hat and said:
 "Take my seat. madam. This man is great deal younger than I am, but he seems to wan; his seat very badly"
 The tone was loud and the manner offensive, and the words attracted the attention of the rest of the passengers to tho young man. Probably some oth- CT mar would have waited until the ne.:r corner was reached and then left the car to take another to his destina- ton. But not this young man. He looked a the older ma hand said in a full, deep voice that penetrated every port.on of the vehicle:

to prove to the judges that this
raid was insti tigated by certain par
ties with the object of wrecking
the treasury, and thus bring a
Republican administration into dis
credit and give the Democrats an
opening through which to land
themselves in power on the comfy
court bench again. We have been
assured-and the independent
seems to have obtained the infor-
nation also-that the result IF the
''jnn.set'' taken by Judges Boyer
and Cole would be a saving to the
taxpayers of between 500 and
5000 per year. 1t seems to us this
result would justify the small cx-

Because bill has been passed
in the Missouri House to reduce
the cost Of publishing the official
ballot to 800 for each paper con-
tanning said publication, our con-
temporary up the street hastens to
recommend a reduction of fees and
salaries of public officials general
", and thus extend the economy
down to tho economists themselves.
Perhaps the fact that one of the
Independents good Democratic
friends now holding down fat job
in the court house, recommended
the abolishment of the ballot pub
lication entirely, may have been
the inspirating cause of the papers
wish to see a little sclary reduction
take place among the county Of
ficials. The editor tells us that sit
takes a mighty good job to be
worth hundred dollars a month
in these piping times of pros
perity." This is probably an inti'
nation that the recommendation he
offers need not necessarily be ap-
piled to the private secretaries of
Congressman, positions that pay
one hundred dollars per month
and are considered ''good jobs. y
The editor of the Independent, we
believe, has been appointed to hold
one down after the 4th of March.
The strenuousness of this position
lies in the drawing of breath and
salary only.

1t appears that the County
Courts rejection of the 1ndepen-
dents bid on the county printing
has caused the editor to have an
overflow of gall and last week he
poured out the bitterness of his
soul in an acrimonious TRADE
against the County Judges. Like
the hypocrites and pharisees Of
old, he believes no good can come
out of Nazareth, and, consequent
ly, whatever n Republican county
court may do is considered just
cause for his righteous (D condem-
nation. The Court was in session
two weeks recently, the FIRST week
being taken up by the usual rout-
inc business, and the second by an
investigation of the pauper condi-
tions of the county. To fully I'M
derstand the causes which in the
past two ears have SO largely in
creased the cost of maintenance of
the paupers, the Court deemed it
advisable to personally inspect the
condition of the people who were
drawing upon the county for tLeir
support, and this necessltated a
trip over the county and the ab-
sence of the court from tho bench.
Judge Wilkinson, not feeling able
to undergo the hardships of the
trip did not accompany Judges
Boyer and Cole in their tour of the
county. Judge Wilkinson did not
hold court by himself, as our CON-
temporary states, but the Court
adjourned from time to time, rs all
the Judges were present, nor did
ho oppose the course of the other
Judges, but on the contrary, he act
with them. The Independent ques-
tions the necessity Of what it terms
tho Courts junkot over the county,
and seems to think a needless ex-
pense was incurred. We wish to
state right here that it was neces-
sary, and demanded by the tax:
payers, to overhaul the system Of
maintaining tho county's poor.
