On Feb. 2 the case of Easton VS..
the State of Iowa was decided by
the United States Supreme Court

Wonderful Memory Of COlOred
Idiot.

Across the line from Monroe, in
Allen county, Shadrack Johnson
was born fifty-six years ago, and
when three years of age was sold as
a slave to Prof. j. F. Pitchford, OF
Scottville, KY, the purchase price
being $3.50. The purchaser, how
ever, soon learned that he had Sc
cured the worst end of wretched
deal, inasmuch as the little darky
was an idiot. As he grew to boy
hood he developed wonderful ply
steal strength. bnt his faculties re-
NAMED unchanged and not wish
ing to place him in the county
house he was kept in the house OF
his master and taught to do chores
Though helpless imbecile and as
utterly devoid of reasoning power
as an inanimate object of life, he is
TO the world of memory the most
astounding of Gods creation.
1t is difficult to induce him to
fix his gaze upon a person with
whom he converses. Yet startling
as the statement may seem nothing
that the negro has ever seen or
heard had ever been forgotten.
He can relate conversations heard
when he was a mere tot and when
once he learns the name of an indi-
vidual and hears him speak years
of alteration will in no wise blot
the recollection from his memory.
He might be awakened from a
heavy slumber at the hour of mid
night by an acquaintance whom he
had not seen for a quarter of cen
fury and at the first glance be
could recall the face, name and
history of the disturber.
Years ago he was taken to SER
vices at a country church and the
old religious song, 81 will arise
and go to Jesus" was sung by the
congregation. The words and tune
made strong impression upon the
benighted mind OF the negro and
scarcely day has passed since he
heard the song-fully thirty years
ago-without his singing it and
following by fervent prayer as
did the minister on the occasion in
question.
Children are his especial hobby
and he cares for them as tenderly
and ministers to their wants with a
love second only to that of a
mother. They seem to be drawn
TO him by intuition, and as he was
never known to offer violence to a
child, he is known and liked by all
children with whom he comes in
contact.
Years ago he was told by rail-
roader that he would receive a
trunk on the train and each morn
ing when the train leaves Scottville
for Gallatin, Tenn he watches it
off and when he hears it whistle
for its return his joy is unbOunded
at the thought of his promised
trunk. But when he fails to re.
ceive for the night perfectly happy
and with the fullest assurance that
the morrow will bring his coveted
treasure.
All the intellect bestowed upon
this negro is in the direction of
memory, and aside from this he is
an imbecile, docile when let alone (;
Il rsying and dangerous maniac
when in anger.

quarrel with the senator because of his vote against the omnibus bill in the senate committee. 1t was his duty to follow his convictions. The griev- ance Of this territory against him is that he maligned Arizona and her peo- pie in a shameful manner in a two days speech in the United State sen ate. He w.ckedly uttered islanders against the quality of Arizona citizen ship, and with the boldness of the fatuously ignorant he ridiculed the ter ritory's resources and asserted that all the mines within her borders had been developed already.
 Bard's speech was one of the most damnable and injurious islanders ever heard in Washington against Arizona. It was peculiarly injurious, because his fellow. senators made the mistake of supposing that. living near to Ari- zona, he had some knowledge of the subject he was discussing-that, in fact, he was speaking as a high au- thority. That infamous speech will be quoted against Arizona for years to come Arizona will never forgive Bard, and her people will take a delight in aiding some good republican in Cali fornia to defeat him when he stands for reelection. It pains us to think of the continuous performance in con- niptions which our Los Angeles "con- trumpery'' will indulge if the Hon. James McLachlan. congressman from the Los Angeles district, is eleceted to succeed Bard in the United States sen- ate.

Reading.

It is as true of literature as of every thing else that what is one mans meat is another mans poison. Lamb, for example. is a highly agreeable writer for a summer afternoon; but if man does nots like Lamb there is no use in Insisting that he ought to like him and in forcing him to read "The Essays Of Ella" Let such a one try Thackeray's -Four Georges if he prefers; it may be that he has a taste for historical anecdote which these charming lectures will satisfy. One thing is certain; if we attempt to do missionary work among those who seem to us to be in need of it, we should not insist on strenuous course of reading at the outset. The best in literature has often been made, odious by thrusting some particular example of 1t down the throats of unwilling victims. No doubt one ought to enjoy Paradise Lost" or "The Faerie Queene." But if one does not, there is an end of it.-Providence Journal

As to Climate.

The Springfield Republican rejoices over the discovery of another defect in our Philippine acquisition. It says:
 Ut is being gradually ralized that we did not annex exactly a health re- sort in seizing the Philippines. The climate there is now being held re- sponsible for the acts of American off, cials charged with financial irregular ities. Thus, in the case of Assistant Paymaster Philip w. Delano of the United States navy. charged with re- turning irregular accounts and inn proper discharge of duties. who is now being tried by a naval court, evidence is presented intended to show that he is the victim of unwholesome climatic conditions.
 Perhaps "unwholesome climatic con- ditions" havee something to do with the mental alteration occasionally no- ticeable in the valley of the Connecti- cut. At Springfield, during the last hot wave. the thermometer rose to the unwholesome height of 102 degreees- Providence Journal.

A Hopeless Sufferer.

At Chicago picnic given for the purpose of launching the Hon. Carter H. Harrison's boom for the democratic nomination for president, the Hon William Jennings Bryan of Fairview Farm emitted a composition on "The Democratic Ideal" Some sentences of this composition seem to have been ex- tracted from Mir. Bryan's early liter ary and rhetorical exercises at Whipple academy and Illinois college. For ex- ample:
 The ideal controls the life and gives it not only direction. but form and constancy."
 An ideal permanently pursued crys- tallizes into character and becomes a vital part of the individual"
 In illustration of these original and ripe ideas. Mir. Bryan proceeded to show that the Kansas city platform had be- come a vital part of him and should be the ideal of the democratic party:
 No political principle is worth fight ing for that is not worth suffering de- feat for, and. as a matter of fact. ones devotion to principle must be meas ured by what he is willing to suffer in it's behalf. not by the reward he is willing to accept for supporting it."
 MT. Bryan wants the democratic party to continue to suffer and to post pone success. That is his ideal; and there can be'no objection to his suffer ing as long and as much as he pleases His party has suffered enough and would enjoy a little success as a change. MT. Bryan keeps curiously young.-New York Sun.

Who's This7

After all. the celebrity of cardinals, like Rampolla, the two Vanutellis, Got ti and Oreglia, is in a certain sense, T fictitious one. They hold conspicuous decorative positions in the church; they are In great evidence at imposing cere- monials. Tourists and reporters see them and talk and think about them. But it by no means follows that their brother cardinals regard them in the same manner. A man whose name has scarcely figured at all in the exhaust i've discussions of the New York press is generally regarded in Rome by those who have intimate knowledge of the workings of the church, as the ablest member of the entire sacred college, and one ideally fitted to unite all the conflicting elements while antagonizing none. This is not the same as saying that he will be the next pope. But it might serve to lend point to the fact which cannot be too strongly empna- sized. that at present all the oracular predictions with which we are favored are worth rather less than the paper OF which they are printed.-New York Post.

Recent Competition.

The Washington Revolver Club proved
victorious in its competition with the Mon
treal Amateur Athletic Association Re-
volver Club of Montreal. Canada. concluded
last Saturday evening. The totals were
exchanged by telegraph and the scores in
detail by mail. The standard American tar
get, with bull s-eye two and three-fourths
inches In diameter was used The distance
was twenty yards and the teams consisted
of ten men each. The Montreal men were
permitted to use any revolver and any am
munition, while the Washingtonians were
confined to the use Of the regulation mill
tary revolvers, with service ammunition
Because of the difference in revOlvers and
ammunition the Montreal club allowed the
Washington club handicap OF 100 points.
Each man fired two strings Of ten shots
each. Five minutes were allowed for firing
ten shots. United States Vice Consul Gen.
eral German at Montreal acted as umpire
for the Washington club and First Lieut..
M. p. Britain. inspector Of rifle practice,
I'd Battalion, D. c. N. G., acted in a like
capacity here for the Montreal club.
