We believe in the street cleaner,

Origin of Ancient Phrase

From the Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
During the last of the eighteenth CEN
tury in England corruption was noto-
rfous.
Jack Robinson, the Secretary of the
Treasury, was known to use both patron
age and money to carry out his corrupt
ministerial policy. Sheridan was employed
to corrupt everybody in order to secure
votes
Amid intense excitement voices called
out: Name him or withdraw"
Sheridan was in a predicament, but his
ready wit saved him.
Sir he answered. ''it would be an
unpleasant and invidious thing to name
the person. and therefore l shall not do
it. But don't suppose there would be
any difficulty in naming him; could do
it, sir. as quick as you could say Jack
Robinson -
