ABSALOM,
The Crafty Demagogue-A Type Not Y ct
Obsolete.
Col. James A. Hoys in Greenville Mountaineer.

I ity Of David. It was pure and. un-
adulterated hypoorioy ON his part,
using this as cover for his treachery,
and showing willingness 30 prosti-
tute the religion of his chosen race
that his base purposes may succeed.
His father was crowned king at Heb.
ron, and he selected this place for the
elimination Of vile conspiracy against
David. Before leaving Jerusalem
he sent secret messengers through ali
the tribes of Israel, working among
the discontented and appealing TO the
disaffected: end gave them soGosrted
signal to be used when he was ready
to proclaim himself king of Hebron.
"If any class in community can be
easily fooled" says recent writer,
'it is that which is striving under
real or imaginary grievances, and it
may be added that the willy dema-
gogue always recognizes the propi-
tious time for bamboozling such peo-
ple."
Absalom not only fixed the trumpet
signal of his reign, bst he misled 200
citizens Of Jerusalem, whom he invit-'
ed to go with MIN, and though they
were not in the plot nor in sympathy
with it, they weakly agreed to his
proposition, which neutrsI;sed their
power to serve David, and he sent also
for trusted counsellor Of his father,
who was actuated by vengeful motives
in accepting tho invitation. The
scheme Of Absalom was successful in
a large degree, for the people turned
continually towards him, and David
felt compelled to fee from Jerusalem.
The reign Of the demagogue is al
ways aeetiDg and uncertain. He be.
comes arrogant and offensive, and in
his turn receives the treatment accord
ed to others. Few men who play this
role in politics ever go down to pos
terity with honor or respect, and their
fame is ever dimmed by the inglorious
resort to expedients that are treaoher-
Gus, hypocritical and supremely self.
ish. Absaiom was the forerunner of
his kind, and his ways are familiar to
the present generation. South Caro-
lima has suffered from the presence Of
men who utilize the ohicanery of the
seiT.seeking demagogue, and it is
time the people were undeoeiviDg
themselves as to the purity Of their
motives and the honesty Of their in
tentions.

A Faithful Dog.

Here is pathetic story told to my
informant, the venerable Judge N. A.
Patterson, by his father, az an inoi-
dent Of which he knew, says writer
in the Springfield Republican.
/ In the early days Of North Carolina
man rode long distance on horse
back to collect debt of several hun
dred dollars. He took with him for
company aud as protection against
robbers, dog to which he had long
felt much attached. He collected the
money, all in silver dollars. These he
tied up in strong sack, lashed it to
the saddle behind him and started for
home.
When they had travelled about half
OF the homeward journey the dog man
ifested great deal Of uneasi ness, to
which ne gave expression by nervous
barking and frequent dives at the
horses forelegs. The man vas sorely
puzzled, and watched the dog for some
time to see if he could find an expla-
assioa ee its strange conduct. His
relact>nt conoiusion was chat it had
been bitten by mad dog and was the
victim of bydrophobia. Aud so to
save his horse and to put the poor dog
out Of the misery he supposed it was
suffering, he drew pistol and shot it.
Not wishing to see it die, he applied
the spurs to his horse and rode rapid
ly for some distancs. The thought
came to him, II would rather have
lost the money than to have been fore
ed to kill that gooa deg"
Thus reminded Of the treasure, he
put mis- hand around behind the sad
die, to see if the bag was safe, but it
was not there. He turned and rapid
ly rode back. When he reached the
point where the dog first commenced
to bark and plunge at the horses legs
ne found the bag of coin, and the poor
victim Of his cruel mistake dying
there, with his paws resting patiently
on either side Of his master treasure.
He had tried 80 hard to make tbe mas
ter understand, but had failed, and
paid his life as the price of his fdeli.

Electricity I'm Warfare.

An interesting instance Of the rapid
extension Of the use OF electricity is
furnished by the fortiications distri-
buted along our coast. A few years
ego the electric light was introduced,
to add to the comfort OF the garrisons
and to provide better illumination OF
the works. Once generating plant
had been installed there was at hand
supply Of power in convenient and
easily controllable form, and this led
to its use for purposes which we're
not contemplated at the,time the plant
was installed. Electric fans have
been put in to make the living quar-.
ters more comfortable in hot weather
and electric motors have been adopted
for training the guns, GLASS of work
for which they are particularly we'll
adapted. Motors are used to drive
the ammunition hoists and to do
other work which before had either
been done by hand or some less satis-
factory power. Searohlights have
been installed, enabling fortiios.ion
to sweep the sea ct night. The vari.
ous posts Of the fortress are connect.
ed together by telephone, SO that the
commandant is in touch at all times
with the entire garrison and can i'm
,stantly transmit orders to any point.
The various forticstions along the
coast are tied together by telephone
and telegraph, 30 that on the appear

PORTLAND. Or, Dec. 4.-Copies
have been received here of a scathing
letter sent by Senator Fulton and Sen
ator Mitchell to Attorney General
Knox. protesting against the appoint
ment of Francis ]. Heney and c. A. s.
Frost as special prosecutors in the Ore
gon land fraud cases. The letter. which
is quite lengthy, says in part:
we cannot but Z regret that you
should have felt compelled to go out
of Oregon to secure competent legal as
sistants. Had you gone elsewhere than
to California TO secure assistants, we
might have thought you were indis-
posed to select one from Oregon lest
in so doing you might secure one whose
business interests would be in some
way affected by the prosecutions; but
such could not have been the motive
that guided you, or you would have
gone elsewhere than to California, for
1T is generally believed that the head
and front of whatever conspiracy has
existed to defraud the Government in
the matter of timber lands has it's
home in San Francisco.
To have ignored our recommenda-
tion in order to appoint for the work
one who has just escaped from Jail
leaves us at a loss to understand what
we have done to merit such treatment.
AND the matter becomes more and
more inexplicable to US when we re-
member that this San Francisco at
torney was sentenced to jail upon a
judgment of conviction of a crime
quite similar in character to the one
lor which the parties he has now been
appointed to prosecute have been in
dicted."

Taylor OF Honolulu Has a Strange
Story to Tell.
HONOLULU, Dec. 14.-Ex- Agricul-
tural Commissioner Wray Taylor. who
was indicted last March for the alleged
embezzlement of $500 of Government
money, has been heard from. Taylor
went to California early in the year on
official business, and after visiting ]
number of agricultural officials was not
heard of again. An inquiry disclosed
that he had disappeared and that he
was short in his accounts as Agricul-
tural Commissioner. His indictment
followed.
A letter just received here from Epis-
copal Bishop Restarick of Hawaii says
that Taylor visited the Bishop while
the latter was in New York. Taylor
said that he had been home to England,
but could rot recall making the trip.
His mird was a blank from the time
he was in San Francisco until he was
with relatives in England. Taylor's
story finds many believers here. He
could have been an embezzler for a
large amount had he been so inclined,
as his career had been one of trust.
He was organist for the Anglican
Fathers. His brother. who is said to
have experienced similar lapse Of
memory, died here recently.
