Gath dropped into the session of the
county commissioners the other day.
Well, it's worth while. Those fell
lows don't stand on dignity, hey do
business. Sometimes the remarks re.
mind us of the story of the minister's
boy who saw the ashman trying to
get motion into a balky mule After
awhile the boy went into the house
and told his mother that the asnman
must be a Christian for whenever the
mule refused to go he told it all about
Jesus and the bad place Sometimes
things are discussed with vigor. but
those people mean busiaess, and not
a cent of the pnblic funds goes out
that is not thoroughly clutlnized
And woe be unto the fellow who tries
the graft He gets it worse than the un.
welcome lover gets it from the girls
father. There may be plenty of graft
but it can't get into the board of
county commissioners They know per-
sonally of every bill and act accor-
dinghy Occasionally thew have an
official VI on the carpet and then it is
decidedly entertaining The fellow
who drops IN on that crowd of good
looking men aud sees them dciug
business, will vote to give them a life
time leases of the Offices
Events which have. occurred with
whirl wind rapidity on the Darian
isthmus during the la t few days,
and which have been ratified by the
Washington government are making
possible the accomplishment Of the
very motive that prompted Columbus
to make his voyage across an unknown
sea and brave unknown terrors.
Columbus was seeking a westward
route to the 1ndias. md his course
was barred by the continents that are
now half the civilized word. On
his second voyage he made vain but
fruitless attempts to find a passage u
the western seas from the Gulf Of
Mexico, and failing in this, he died a
disappointed man. Four hundred
yeas after this failure of the world
findig genius, the enterprise and
eneryg of the people whose country he
gave to the world, have overcome the
barriers of nature, that to Columbus
and his hardy followers we've unsur:-
mouutable and have planned to give to
nature the water way which they
sought in vain. Little did Balboa
and his bold Spaniards think as they
stood on the crest Of the hills which
American enterprise will cut in twain
that in years the people of a nation
the unborn would be floating through
these hills in palaces whose motive is
IN element to them unknown and
which to them would nave been as
great objects of wonder as the little
vessels which first crossed the Allan
tic, were to the unlearned Indians.
The history has been long in making
and reads like a romance from the
pages of chivalry. But it is true and
the Dire ms of the supposed fanatics of
past centuries are IN a fair way to be
realized.

We were in the new building being
converted into a store at creased light
ming speed the other day and it was
interesting to see tho rush work being
done to get things in shape. Here
We're carpenters saving away for dear
life, and putting on the finishing
touches. Clerks We're crowding the
carpenters out of their way while ..ney
piled goods on shelves on which the
paint had hardly dried. Here was the
hardware man putting W the stove,
while the decorator was giving a re.
production of a married mar lodging
dishes starting from his wife's hands,
while he, the decorator is trying to
Keep his head out of tie way of the
stove pipe. Painters were Singing

80 fast you could hardly tell what
caused the transformation. Now all
this illustrates n strong 'haracteris
tic IN the human race. when we
ought to have matters compl eted, we
are just getting ready to hurry In
this bustling American world. and
that means about everything ex.ept
the Democratic party-we get in sues
an impatient rush that we double up
when we near.sssthe close. Whez a
ship ls launched, the sound Of the con
stEuction hammer is still heard as
the a~ristocrats assemble ITO waste a
nottia OF good vine re -! on it's outside
that's the difference between a ship
and asman. When those great fairs
are being opened by the good and
great, the work Of construction is still
going on: That's true in both great
and small affairs. We try to "a
three times as much as is reasonable
on..the home stretch.

find a%.tract Of, land that suits him.
The reason for this is plain. The
years of educating that have been
done by the land men and railroads
are bearing fruit, and the people are
beginning to realize that the facts are
bearing out the statements made by
these parties.

Down in one of the business Offices
of the city the other day, the proprie-
tor was discussing the business pros
poets of the city. He made some of
the best suggestions we have eve
heard. Said he: 1.-THE people talk
about hard times, but they hardly
know what they are. A short crop
does not mean that the people will
move away, and bills will be uncol-
lectible. Every man who owns a
quarter section is good for any con
tracts he may make and the only thing
is that we must extend them a little
more credit. Of course they will not
buy as much as usual, but they will
buy what is necessary for their com
fort and we business people will nave
a good steady businessmen rush, but
steady trade. The only things I can
see that the majority are cutting out
are long andssexpensive trip, a very
few luxuries and the adjoining
quarter or two of land. I have
watched matters pretty closely and
I am not a particle blue v the
result.

Still With the Jury.

The jury has been celebrating on
the Ellis Clardy case since 1880
yesterday afternoon, but at this
hour a verdict has not been agreed
upon. 1t is not known how the Jury
stands, but a failure TO agree would
not surprise any one.
The argument in the case of Rich
ard Vance was commenced this
morning. In this case Attorney W.
l.. Wise, who was appointed by the
court to represent the defendant
made his maiden speech. His eff
forts made quite a favorable im.

the bar.
The next case on docket is that OF
Henry Willis, who will be tried on
charge Of murder.
