Rabbi J. L. Stern, of Cumberland
writes au open letter to Hon. ID. j.
Lewis criticising somewhat severely the
latter's Good Roads" bill.
In doing so he quotes from Lincoln 5
speech delivered October 16, 1871, AT
Peoria, Ill:
I doubt not that the people of Nebraska
are and will continue to be as good as the
average OF people elsewhere. | do not say
to the contrary. What | do say is that no
man is good enough to govern another man
without that other mans consent. say
this is the leading principle, the sheet anchor
of American republicanism.
If the quotation be applicablc-which
the JOURNAL questions, it would be III
terestlng to learn of Il single individual
in Allegany county who is governed
wholly by his own consent.
Take the commissioners for instance
how many are there who, i'll making up
the annual levy, ascertain and impose
the rate of taxation, are doing so by
consent of Rabbi Stern:
How much of what is called ''conSrnt
has the editor Of the Cumberland N'"S
given to Edwin Warticld to sign, for
instance, Mr.. Lewis Good Roads
bill?
And if Edwin Wartcld appoints IA
Board of School Commissioners who, i'll
turn, appoint y. G. Wilson examiner,
who is authorized to say that Edwin
Warfield is not good enough to thus put
Wilson in governmental office without
the editor consent:
The truth is, the rule of the majority
is always government without consent
of the minority.
And the rule of the minority over the
majority is no less than tyranny-the
smaller the minority the greater the
tyranny.
OF these, however. MIR. Lincoln was
not talking. He WAS speaking of the
singular relation of master and slave,
not of the pluralS Of taX-eaters and tan
payers.
Mr.. Lincoln at Gettysburg later spoke
of this as "a government Df the people,
by the people, tor the people IA beauti-
full fancy-indeed, so beautiful that We're
it the real thing no ''GiDod Roads legiS-
lation would be needed.

Henry Hopkins. jr., son of Henry
Hopkins, of this place, shot and mOrtally
wounded Il man named Eckenstein at
Stippeville, Kansas, recently. The
latter, who died the next day. was ii bad

suit of umbragc at Hopkins for inter

He started for Hopkins, who is Il deputy
sheriff, with police power in Stippe-
vile, with pick handle. Hopkins
fired twice in the air with the hope of
soaring Eckenstein off. But the latter
still coming, Hopkins next shot was an
aim for worse than solar-pleXus result.

here early Monday that "Hopkins was

Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
And our loss we deeply feel,
Bnt It's God that has bcrcft us,
He can all our SORROWS heal
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
When III Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Weep not that her tolls are over
Weep not that her race is run,
tod grant we may rest as calmly.
N.
Til then we yield with gladncsS,
Our mother to Him to keep.
And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He yivcth His loved one sleep
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful i'll thy grave so low;
Thou 10 more will join our number,
Thou no more our SorrOwS know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of lie is fled,
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are DER
On the border land we left her
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes
When we leave this world of care.
We shall find our missing loved one
In our Fathers mansion fair.

Death ON the Rail.
The first car south on the Electric
railway Tuesday morning, passing
Lovers Retreat between Ocean and
Midland, ran over and killed John
Donahue, of Homecoming
Donahue, it is stated, had been drink
ing at Ocean during the night, aud

he sat or laid upon the track and, doubt
less, fell asleep, and in the darkness the
mOtorman did not see him until too late.
Besides mortal injuries to head and
chest, both legs We're broken.
No inquest was held, the coroner be-
ieving death to be the result of the poor
fellows own negligence.
The family-his mother and sisters, it
is believed, do not share i'll this view.

II Hurts.

The JOURNAL regrets to observe Il
discrepancy of Judgment between the
verdict of the coroner'S jury and that of
the Homecoming >i"r of FroStburg.
The former found the Electric Rail
way company accountable; the latter
discovered that the runaway was
directly due to the obStinacy of the
city council, or certain members of it. -
All that is necessary to state here is
it is painful to find ii newspaper possibly
in error, and trebly painful when it is Il
syndicate of newspapers.

BLAINE on HENRY G. DAVIS.

Henry G.. Davis, cf Maryland,
entered as The FIRST Democratic SEN
aior of West Virginia. His personal
popularity was a large factor in the
contest against the Republicans of
his State, and he was instantly re-
warded by his party as its most in
huential leader. Mr.. Davis had
honorably wrought his own way TO
high station and had been all his
life in active affairs as farmer, a
railroad man, a lumberman, an
operator in coal and banker. He
had been uniformly successful. He
came to the Senate with the kind of
practical knowledge which schooled
him to care and usefulness as a
legislator. He steadily grew in the
esteem and confidence Of both sides
OF the Senate, and when his party
obtained the majority he was in
trusted with The responsible duty of
the Craftsmanship of the Committee
on Appropriations. No more pains
taking and trustworthy man ever
held the place. While firmly adj
herring to his party he was at all
times courteous, and the business
of the Senate or IN local intercourse
never obtruded partisan views.-

Years IN Congress"

Judge Parker and his party visited
MIR. Stafford at the Oak Bluffs club at
the time, and they all went in bathing.
In the party was n well known Al
bany physician whose name Mr.. STAFF
ford would not give, and while the rest
of the party were on the beach he was
swimming out considerable distance.
The physician gave n cry, and the men
on the beach saw him sink.
Judge Parker at once plunged into
the surf and with long, vigorous
strokes reached the doctor just as lie
was sinking for the second time Mr.
Hill followed him, but when the Judge
reached the man he was unconscious.
The judge swung the inanimate body
over his shoulder and started for the
shore. Mr.. Hill came to the rescue
and assisted Judge Parker in taking
the doctor to the beach, where he was
soon resuscitated.
