A story of a sharp justice of the
peace was told at the Gait House re-
Gently by j. L. Powhatan, of Chicago
says the Louisville (Ky.) Herald.
1T CHANGED" said Mr.. Powhatan
that this justice of the peace lived
in a little town in far recess OF
Tennessee. He was the only Repub-
lican in the district, yet he happened
by some trick of fortune to hold
Office.
"At length, when political excite
ment had reached an runwonted pitch
a project was formed to Dust him from
his office and put in Democrat.
THE election was held in an old dis
tillery, and the ballot box was a large
gourd. The squire was early on the
scene, clad in the toughest of clothes
Fellow citizens, he said, L want
to make you a short speech
THE audience having agreed, he
accordingly mounted a barrel-mag-
unanimously determined to rise above
all party issues and appeal to state
pride and patriotism,
Fellow citizens he said, I've
been alooking round here to see plain
enough what's a-goinh on 1 know what
you want. I've been justice of the
peace here goin' on twenty years, an
a good many times I've saved many OF
you from goin' to the penitentiary, an
now you're tryin' to put me out of of

But l just want to tell you some.
thing. I've got the constitution and
the laws o. the state of Tennessee in
my pocket, and just as sure as you
turn me out of office I'll burn 'em up
blame me if I don't-and you may all
go to ruin together
THE effect of the speech was over
whelming. The ruin threatener was
elected by a handsome majority. To
be in state without constitution
and laws was too great a calamity to
be thought Of

OF PAUPER IMNI-
GRANTS.

The health authorities of New York
are becoming alarmed by the vast in
crease in the number of pauper inn
migrants. There is a rate war between
the shipping trust and the Cunard
line, and the third class rate from
Liverpool is only $3.50.
II is stated that within the last
month 10000 immigrants have arrived
at New York. And the number of ar
rivals per month is increasing all the
time. 1t begins to look as if all of
the poverty stricken creatures of Eu-
rope had succeeded in raising enough
to pay their passages to New York
and were coming just as fast as they
could get accommodations.
How do these people expect to earn
a living? They do not know. 1t is
stated that not one of those now at
Ellis Island has as much as $40. The
most of them haven't a tenth part of
that amount. About all of these inn
migrants are from the cities. They
therefore want to remain in the cities
when they reach this country. They
have no idea of going on farms. With
in the last week it has been stated
in the. newspapers that the rail-
roads have recently discharged as many
as 100000 men. In other fields of en-
ployment there has been a curtaiment
of expenses and consequently a re-
duction of the working forces. There
is at the present time hundreds of
thousands Of people out of employment.
And, owing to the cut rate of the
steamship companies, hundreds of
thousands more of unskilled laborers
are coming here. What is to be done
with them?
Some of them might find employment
here in the South Eater in the season
in picking cotton. but they have not
been accustomed to working in the
fields, and doubtless cannot be induced
to leave the cities. Evidently New
York and other North Atlantic cities
have a problem which is becoming
more difficult to solve every day.
Some of these immigrants are af-
fiicted with disease of various kinds.
or course the steamship companies
have to carry back immigrants suffer-
ing from contagious diseases, but it is
practically impossible to discover all
of them. Hence the health authorities
al New York are kept on the lookout
all the time for evidences of epidemic
diseases in the crowded tenement quar-
ters of the city. An epidemic of a
contagious disease there would be hard
to control
Is there not something wrong with
our immigrations laws? If they were
what they should be the poverty
stricken and ignorant multitudes of
Europe wouldn't be coming to this
country simply because of the rate
war between the ocean transportation
companies.
The feeling is strong in most parts
of the country that our immigration
laws are altogether too liberal. 1t
is cropping out in expressions OF opin-
ion THAT only the better class
of immigrants shall be admitted. No
doubt this subject will receive atten-
ton from Congress next winter.

4 MonERN mr,an.seHooL.

The action taken by the Board of
Education on Monday night relative
to a modern high school building on
the site of the present High School
building, no doubt meets the approval
of the public. That there is need of
a modern building, will be admitted.
The present building occupies good
deal of space, but contains compare
lively little room. Being adapted from
q building that was not erected for
school purposes it is far from salts
factory as a school building.
There is need for more room in a
high school building, and this need
has become imperative since the
decision of the Board of Education to
introduce manual training into the
schools.
We assume, of course, that the
trustees of the Chatham Academy are
able financially TO comply with the res
olution of the Board of Education.
If they were not, the resolution would
not have been offered. They erected
the building that is now being used
for grammar schools, 1 and 2, and if
ing has not been returned to them,
part of it has and the balance viii
be in the course of very few years.
Having the money with which to
erect the proposed building, there is
no good reason why it should not be
10 -
and it will be as safely invested in
a school building as it is In securi-
ties.
If we understand the situation ii will
be practically impossible to introduce
manual training into the schools with
out additional school house room, and
about the only way to get additional
room is that suggested in the resolu-
ton adopted by the Board of Educa-
ton. The county isn't financially able
to erect a high school building. The
demands upon it now are greater than
it can comply with, notwithstanding
the fact that the tax rate is so high
as to be a cause of complaint on the
part of the tax payers.
A modern high school building would
be an attraction to Bull street. It
is probable that it would be in har-
mony with the building occupied by
grammar schools l and 2, though per-
haps, fronting on so prominent a street
it would be constructed of better ma
terial. That is matter, however
for future consideration. The impor-
tant thing now is to get the trustees
of Chatham Academy to view with
favor the resolution of the Board of
Education. 1t wouldn't be surprising
if within year a very handsome
structure should occupy the site of the
present high school building.

THE INDICTMENT OF MRS. PATTER-
son. y

The Caesar Young murder mystery
as the public is concerned, notwith-
standing the fact that the woman in
the case, Mrs. Nan Patterson, has been
indicted for the shooting According
to the published accounts Young and
Mrs. Patterson were on the way to
the steamship wharf. where Young ex-
pected to take a steamer for Europe,
and where his wife was waiting for
him. While the cab was passing down
Broadway a pistol shot was heard,
and when the cab was stopped it was
found that Young had been shot. Sew
eral theories have been advanced to
explain the affair. One is that Young
committed suicide. Another is that
Mrs, Patterson attempted to commit
suicide and that Young, in attempting
to prevent her, was accidentally shot.
A third is that the woman was de-
termined that Young shouldn't go to
Europe and leave her-shouldnt break
off his relations with her--and
that she shot him.
There is no reason to suppose that
/ Young committed suicide. All the
facts, so far as they are known, are
against that theory. And why should
the woman want to commit suicide
in the cab? If she wanted to kin
herself she could have done that much
more satisfactorily in the seclusion of
her room at the hotel. Evidently the
jury believed that Mrs. Patterson, be-
ing very much attached to Young, was
determined that he shouldn't go to
Europe. and that she bought the pis-
toll for the purpose of killing him and
did kill him. AS to whether or not
the state can make out a case against
her is question concerning which
there is likely to be a good deal Of
speculation until all the testimony in
the case is known.
1t seems strange that so little is
known to the public in regard to the
shooting in view of the fact that II
occurred in one of the best known
streets in New York. One. witness, a
man tTpin riOtlut, Sdlu lIldl NneH ne
saw the parties the man had his arm
around the woman's neck and was
holding pistol in his hand. Others
claimed to have seen the parties in
the cab when there was an appear
ance of struggle between them. but
the grand jury doubtless had evidence
that hasn't yet appeared in the news
papers. because enough testimony has
not been printed to justify an indict-
ment against the woman. 1t was a
remarkable crime and created a sem
sation. Owing to the mystery sur
rounding it no doubt the trial viii
attract wide attention.

MuRpnY's OPPOSITION no PARKER,

From what is appearing in the New
York papers it is impossible to form an
opinion, as to whether or not Mr. Muir
ply, the Tamnany leader, is still OPP
posing the nomination of Judge Parker.
The statement is made in Mondays is
sue of some of them that Mr.. HIN and
Mr. Murphy have reached an agreement
whereby the latter agrees not to oppose
Judge Parker at ST. Louis. 1t seems
that he has been threatening to go be-
fore the convention and say that while
having been instructed, ne was bound
to vote for the nomination of Judge
Parker, he didn't believe he could car
strongest man the Democratic party
could nominate.
In consideration of Mr. Murphy's
withdrawal of his opposition to Judge
Parker, Mr.. HILL so it is said, agreed
to cut loose, as it were from Belmont
and Senator Mccarren. OF course it
has been understood all along that Mr..
Murphy hasn't any objection to Judge
Parker. He has been opposing him be-
cause he was hostile to Belmont and
McCarren His opposition to Belmont
is due to financial matters and to Nc
Carren to political.
In other New York papers of Mon
days issue the statement is made that
Mr.. Hill visited New York city on Sum
day and had long talk with Mr.. Muir
ply about the political situation, but
that they failed to reach an agreement,
that in fact they were as wide apart
when the visit ended as they were be-
fore Mr.. Hills visit
Now it would be interesting to know
which of the foregoing statements is
the correct one. AS matter of fact it
is by no means certain that Mr.. Hill
has had talk recently with Mr.. Muir
ply in regard to Tammany's opposition
to Judge Parker. The New York papers
seem to be more anxious to get story
than the truth
