 His only personal interest in politics came from his position of Chairman of the Democratic Central Council Of Montgomery It was said that his con- tinpance in that office was an assur- ance of the fairness of primary elec- tions in Montgomery. He held that honorary position when he went West for his health.
 As an attorney, Colonel Jones was most successful He was possessed of a Ane legal mind and he had. too, that rarer genius of energy. He was un- tiring in his work for bis clients and his capacity for hard york was often , the subject of complimentary allusions from brethren at the bar.
 He was man who put high value Ion friendship His nature was pecu- liarly social and to move among hts fellows was to him a pleasure always.

 Grover Cleveland never toured the country for his nomination or election. The Democracy found Tilden at Gra- mercy Park, and nominated him and elected him. We cite these two men because they were the only Democratic candidates elected President since the close of the Civil war. They were per- side of the State of New York, but the whole nation knew of their patriotism and statesmanship and their splendid record as Governor.

A SERIOUS OFFENSE

Public school discipline is a seri-

Der of girls were expelled from the
Chippewa Falls high school for writ
ing a harmless piece of doggerel
verse on the school routine, and
though their fathers took the case
into court the judge refused TO COM
pei the school principal to restore
them. The enormity of their offense
may be judged by the first stanza
OF their poem" which was as fol-
lows:
Sit gazing strictly to the front
Until tie teacher says stand"
And then with dignity arise
And march to The brass band.
Such teachers and judges ought to
be put to making shoes or cracking

HUMAN EXPERIMENTS

According TO the Chicago Tribune.
Prof. John b Watson, the Chica-
go university instructor. has an
nounced that he win pursue his ex-
pcriments TO determine the sixth
sense in animals and men to the
larger animals, among them monk
eys and even human beings. The
latter, however, he does not propose
to make blind as he has rats His
experiments up to the present have
been made by removing the eyeballs
of rats, their sense or smell, hearing
and taste. and TO some extent their
sense of feeling His next continued
experiment. will be with carrier
pigeons.
Kind of unpleasant reading, you
might say; but that is your mistake,
for this benevolent scientist says:
The rats suffer no pain and appar-
entity no Inconvenience in the loss
of their eyesight, and they are as
healthy after as before the opera
ton"
Now, if the same experiments were
tried on the inspired Watson him
self the results would he better as
he could tell us all about it. But
he prefers to keep his eyes in his
own head. So would the rats.
If this sort of thing is fair on
rats, it is fair on humans.
No wonder the poor have a horror
Of hospitals! Life.
