In Memory of Dear Grandma.

ny ONE WHO LOVED HER.
Dear grandma's gone from her cares to rest;
Her sorrows now are DER;
She walks and talks among the best
On that happy golden shore,
Where the tree of life is fresh and green
Aud the crystal waters flow,
Where naught of sorrow e'er Is seen,
But youths sweet beauties glow.
Through life, through sickness and in death
Her faith did make her strong;
And with the last faint lingering breath
Redemption was her song.
"Oh! let me go and be at rest;
Why must linger here?
I've friends that wait among the blest
And friends hold most dear.
We know, some day, when our work is done,
Though probably not so well
AS she who has the victory won,
And in that land doth dwell;
Yet Gods rich mercy, just the same,
Extends to you and me,
As to that one that He doth claim
To be from sin set free.
But Obi beyond this shadow land.
Where all is bright and fair,
| know full well those dear old hands
Win palms of victor bear;
Where crystal streams through endless wears
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young and fair,
I'll clasp dear grandma's hands.

Can a Horse Talk?

Those who have no special fondness
for domestic animals, aud especially fol
dogs, cats, and horses, will, of course,
ridicule the position taken by Veterin-
airy Surgeon Roberge as a witness be.
fore New York court last Wednesday
DIR. Roberge, when questioned as to
the treatment Of sick horses, declared:
"a horse must be thoroughly under
stood by one who attempts to treat IL.
You must know it well, talk with it.
and understand its language"
'Do you mean to say,' inquired the
astonished attorney, "that horse can
talk?" "Why, certainly he can, in his
way replied the veterinary surgeon.
IF a horse knows you are going to
treat him he will hold out his leg or his
foot, if the trouble lies there. Once he
thinks you can do him good, he'll soon
take means to let you know what his
ailment is, If possible"
"And does ne talk 10 every one like
that?" asked the attorney. ooh, no, re-
piled the veterinary, 'only to those he
knows, and who know him.
DR.. Roberge could have gone much
farther than this without overstepping
the bounds Of truth Horses do talk to
those in whom they have confidence as
plainly asif they had the human gift OF
language, and what they say is as
intelllgibIe to those who understand
them as If they spoke with their
mouths instead of with their ears,
noses, and feet. Everybody who
loves the horse, and who has much
to do with the horse, knows that
the animal can understand what is
said to him aud done for him by one
in whom he has confidence.
Incidents illustrative of this fact are
numerous, and sometimes so extraordi-
nary as TO tax the credulity of The ordi-
nary man, but they are nevertheless
based upon the common experience not
SO much of horsemen as of horse
lovers.
That dog can talk is so generally
admitted to be the case now AS to
demand no special argument, and, to
a certain degree, this is true respecting
the conversational ability of the cat.

A SENSIBLE MAN.

A special dispatch from Easton, Pa,
stetcs that the superintendent of schools
has adopted the plan of numbering the
lead pencils so that pupils may have the
same pencil each day, and thus be free
from catching diseases transmitted by
this means.
This is a sensible move, but we fail
to see why it deserves special mention,
as it has long been in use in many schools.
The pencils used by children should be
kept separate, and one of the best ways
OF doing this is to have small racks in
which the pencils may be placed. An
other simple and inexpensive plan is to
have tape seWed to pasteboard, with
holes for the insertion of each pencil
These methods have long been IN vogue
il many of the schools of this state.
States and slate pencils should be
abolished from all schoolrooms. as they
have been from many. They are disease
breeders and disease spreaders; they are
incentives to carelessness of work tt
filthy habits; and the child who learn:
to write on a slate is retarded rathe1
than helped when he comes to write OF
paper. Paper IS SO cheap that the neccs
sity for states no longer exists. Nothing
car be said in favor of the slate excep
that it is cheap.

THE ONLY RIGHT WAY.

Men who are placed in charge Of public
business and public Institutions often fail
10 appreciate that the only right way
to deal with the public Is TO practice
the utmost candor. Too many pubic
men. often with the very best intentions,
ac- upon the theory that the public IS
not entitled to know what i going on,
and they keep from the papers lntorma-
ton to which the public IS entitled.
Here are the two cases IN point:
/. Not long ago certain notorious
prisoners escaped from the penitentiary,
Manifestly the proper thing was for the
authorities to give the information al
once to the press. Instead OF that the
authorities declined 10 give out the IN
formation. The escapes were repeated
silence again. 1t was not until the pres
continued again and again TO demand pub
licitv that the authorities finally Were
inclined to give out the news.
>. A short while ago it was reported
that Prof. Bassett had rendered his res
ignation as professor at Trinity College
Ii was known positively in Raleigh that
thorities OF the college refused to affirm
or deny that he had resigned. Later the
report came through two students al
Trinity College that some students had
held a meeting and decided to stand by
Bassett. Efforts are made to obtain the
resolutions and print exactly what was
done by the boys. Nothing can be priced
out OF the authorities. President Kllgo
is quoted as saying that he viii stand by
DR.. Bassett; again hat other professors
Will resign if Bassett is forced out; again
that he ~disapproves Prof. Bassett's ar
ticle. The public is denied any informa-
ton. Everything about the college shuts
I'D like a clam and the public is denied
legitimate information.
1t is all very we'll for Mr.. Vanderbilt,
in his individual capacity, to say the
people be id" But public officials and
men holding positions of trust need have
some regard for the rights and opinions
OF the puDnc. mere IS no pupnc olllcidl
no head of any college, no man holding
any place of trust who can afford, no
matter how well backed by State appro-
p~riation or big endowment, to defy just
public sentiment or conduct affairs ID
which the public is interested as Star
Chamber Proceedings.
The public is f~air-minded and Just. II
given all the facts the people will reach
just conclusions. The only right way Is
to give the people all the facts, and to
trust to their sense Of right and Justice

AN IDEAL DEFINITION.

So far Hon. John Sharp Williams has
justified the wisdom of the Democratic
minority in making him leader. He has
convictions which are deep-seatcd. He IS
no trimmer, and will not permit the
party to become an echo of the Republi-
san policy. On the other hand he does
rot believe in obstruction for the sake
Of obstruction.
The chief danger now to the Demo
cratic party is that it will make COM
promise with the doctrine of protection.
Mr.. Randell's conception of the difference
between the Democratic and Republican
policy seemed to be one largely of per
cent and of the commodities that ought
to be on the free list. He seemed not
to appreciate that betWeen the doctrine
of protection, as advocated by Republl-
advocated by the Democrats, there is Z
great gulf fixed Mr.. Williams belongs,
not to any school Of modern faction,
but is schooled In the old time doctrine
preached ny II SOu, o(hSOh, oih
Carlisle and Mills. We judge this by his
recent speech IN Congress. In his closing
argument on the Cuban Reciprocity bill,
Mr.. Williams gave the best short defni-
ton of protection that has yet appeared.
We quote from his speech:
"Mr. Chairman, the gentleman from
Indiana, in the course of the even Z
somewhat rhetorical tenor Of his r.
marks, asked a question. He said, VIVA
is the proper definition OF protcction?'
I shall undertake to answer that cues
ton now, and if he is a shorthand re
porter l hope he will take the reply
down: Protection, Mr.. Chairman, is a
system of taxation whereby many arc
robbed in order that a few men may
be hothoused by legislation into arti-
fetal prosperity. AS a supplementary def
whereby capital and labor are DETECTED
from naturally profitable pursuits and
enterprises into the channels Of naturally
unproftable pursuits and enterprises. And,
as a corollary, the method whereby they
| are detected IS by the enactment OF
laws forcing the consumer to pay to the
artificial hothoused enterprises a higher
price than with a free N the con.
sumer would nave to pay
If the Democrats in their next ma
tional convention will copy the Tilden
! platform of 1876 and the Chicago platform
of 1892 on the tariff they will present the
issue as It is clear cut before the Ameri
can people.
