The OId-Time Pcnllnifc,

One of the most remarkable in
stances of the name of an article
surviving its use is the penknife.
We talk of it every day, but the pur-
pose for which the penknife was
originally designed exists no longer.
The pen of western civilization
was fabricated, as old people remem.
ber, of quills. and quill pens are
still affected by oldfashioned per-
sons. who declare that no efficient
substitute has yet been found for
them.
The penknife of our great-grand-
fathers day was, indeed, triumph
of the cutters art in the keenness of
its edge. According to the rhymed
list of the requirements of a com
plete writer, the scribe needed "a
penknife, razor metal" always at
hand, and people who remember
how soon quill pen became un-
suitable in the hands of vigorous
writer's will appreciate the necessity.
To be a good pen mender was one
of the first essentials in the village
pedagogue. His penknife was an in
dispensable to him as his cane.
Strangely enough, there were mend
ers of pens who seemed born to fulfil
the function, and men who could
never learn the art let them try as
they might. But the penknife, prop
erly so-called is no more, and with
its disappearance has vanished the

yet nobody thinks of asking for appro-
priations for them.
OF course Governor Stuart followed
precedent i'm approving the appropria-
tions in question but he would much
better obey the constitution than be n
slave 30 precedent. The constitution
forbids appropriations to sectarian in
stitutions altogether and requires a
two-thirds vote in each branch of the
legislature for appropriations to other
charitable objects while, as matter of
fact, not single measure of that char
acter received such "A majority of Sena-
tors or Representatives present and
voting" Possibly the Governor may
not be obliged to veto measure on
that account but it is ample reason for
veto if he were inclined to invoke it.
Nevertheless ! am disposed to alb
solve the Governor from blame for We
toing the Pension bill. 1t is really the
only appropriation other than those
for the actually State institutions that
has the sanction of the Fundamental
law. Section Is of article of the con-
stitution declares that ono appropria-
ton, except for pensions or gratuties
for military services, shall be made for
charitable, educational or benevolent
purposes, to any person or community,
nor to any denominational or sectarian
institution, corporation or association"
If that provision of the constitution
had been obeyed there would have been

for the cause which he deemed a
righteous one, and the prospects of

there was no fund. Then Howell
Hise, a warm abolitionist and ad-
mirer of Coppock and Brown, rose
to the emergency and with his own
hand quarried the black sandstone
which forms the present monument,
dressed the heavy foundation of the
marker, hauled the stones to the
cemetery and unaided raised the
monument which stands to-day
above the grave, chiseling upon the
rough surface of the stone the name

name alone would tell the story of

WORK OF THE PROBERS,

1t is hardly worth while to discuss
the work of the capitol probers at this
time. The public hearings are iinish-
ed but sufficient time to analyse the
yoluminous testimony has not inter-
vened and the best estimate that could
be made now would be guess work. 1t
Is practically certain, however, that
criminal prosecutions will be institut-
ed though it is not certain that they
will be expedited. Upon this point
what might be termed experts differ.
Some imagine that an eff, rt will be
made to convict "scape-goat" before
the election so as to justify the claim
that The Republican party proposes to
effect real reforms, while others are of
the opinion that the proceedings will
be delayed until after the election so
