Bur Edward c. Stokes will not be in
the executive Office tonight to write the
old time letter commencing the work of
the legislative session and declaring it to
be the best ever.-NesoGrk NeDs
The Newayk Neos has a man on its
staff whose business it is to be awfully
funny, and he fills the bill completely,
only sometimes he gets so hilarious that
he oversteps the mark. Not content with
being brilliant he occasionally injects
little venom into his writings. This was
the case when he penned the above. His
idea was not only to cast slur on ex.
Governor Stokes but to show that the
present official did not have a very high
regard for the Legislature which ad-
journed on Friday. If this truly funny
fellow had waited until the ''day follow
ing, he might not have been SO mirthful.
He could have printed the ideas of Cover
nor Fort. Perhaps the latter did no
think the Legislature ''the best ever" but
he did give out statement in which he
said ''The Legislature has been clean in
its membership, and in both house and
senate the tone of the whole session has
been admirable. There has been more
independence and courage displayed BY
the senators and members than they have
been given credit for by the public, and l
make this statement with q great deal of
pleasure. There has been no bad legisla
ton. If there can be any criticism at all,
1t Is rather for non action than for any
affirmative action that is at all objection
able. Several splendid things have been
done" The Governor enumerates many
of the good bills that have been enacted.
The remark that there has been no bad
legislation" ought to go far towards max
ing the recent Legislature ''the best ever"
for the Nesoark Neacs had no trouble, last
year. in picking out any quantity of bad
bills that were enacted. But, with the
endorsement of Governor Fort that the
legislation has not been bad, where will
the Nesos ''be atf" The funny man will
get to work, however, and give solution
to the conuudrum.

Cornish Humor.

The magistrate at the Liskeard po-
lice court might well have excused the
laughter which greeted the remark of
a police witness only short time ago
who said with all seriousness: HE
was drunk, your honor, and couldn't
stand. told him to go away, and as
he wouldn't locked him up"
The laugh in another court was
against the solicitor who severely ask
ed, ''Were you present when you heard
this?"
Mixed metaphors are not peculiar
nor indeed a common failing of the
Cornishman, but a certain eloquent
town councillor quite recently got en-
tangled when in the course of a pro-
tracted debate on the momentous sub
ject of the local dust bins he declared
