Jeff ereton'se election tod theleid enitHICy col ote chargers wb ut h otfahio has gained fresh strength in the evolu tion of the years. The great founder of the old Democ racy was the first President inauguratedl in the national capital. h1is accession Was a stu)Ondous event in all world history, for it gave an Irresistible direc tion to a conflict thatt is ats old ahnost as humanity itself, and that, apparently will continue through all time. His Inauguration was what has been called in derision "simple." True, it, was "simple" so far as he was concerned, but it meant the recognition of the sovereignty of the people And be cause of this fact, what he then did has been outrageously falsilied by historians hostile to the principles for which he stood, and for which he, of all men that ever lived stands today. A large num ber of these writers with the purpose of casting ridicule on Jefferson, assert that " he rode to the capitol, hitched his horse to the palings and walked in to take the oath of ollice." lie did nothing of the kind. Lodging near the splendid building, lie walked to it accop)anlied by a few friends, and went through the ceremony in the Senate chamber where for the four preceding years he had pro sided as vice president. And there and then lie read the very greatest inaugural address that has yet been made. The principles it laid (own have preserved the republic and are to popular govern. mnut what the scrmon on the mount is to Christianity. NEGRO AS A TABOR MACHINE.

HEM, KNEW ALL ABOUT FLOODS A Confederate Veteran Who Had . Quite a Remarkable Dream. Atlanta .Journal. "I have been reading The Journal's cloge call ' stories with a good deal of interest," said an old Confederate veto. ran while up at the capitol a few days ago, " and uwhile I hAven't any of My own that I care to write about, I wi1 Ltll you a story I heard told by an ol( Uon federate in a nearby city not long igo, and of which I am reminded by The Journal's stories. "Tle people of the town had arranged i sort of celebration or reception in honor of the boys who had returned from Cuba These boys had all seen 'service in the late Spanish -American ' war ' and they wore full of experiences. Especially experiences about bad treat. mIent, bad foo(' ; havinlg to 1l3e) On one or two occasions on the cold ground with nothing but an oil cloth and blanket to wrap up in. )uring the dinner or barbecue the young ' voterans ' were tell ing their ex periencos antd graphically relating all the ' horrors' of the Cuban c2ailpaign. " Among the auditors who were guests it the reception were several old Con ledlerate voteranis, 01(l grizzly follows who had seen service with lice in Vir. ginia and who had gone barefooted dur ing a winter campaign, slept on the frozen ground or in snow many a time without covering and lived oni a quarter o)f a pouind of maeat a day, witli rye coffee is an occasional luxury. These old vets hiad listened intently to the 'experiences' of the boys just back from Cuba, but hadn't said anything. Finally one of them wias called on to tell some of his experiences during the civil war. Prob ably he didn't think they amounted to much or probably he didn't think it would be right to spring them at that pjaiticular time, after what had gone be fore. The crowd insisted, and finally he said that while he didn't have inl stock any ' ex periences' worth relating oI that really amounted to very much as war stories. he would tell them of a dream he had a few nights before. "' I dreamed that I died and went to lleaven,' he said. ' I loafed around for a while, feeling kinder lonesome-be cauise I was from Macon you know until finally a middle aged angel aip plroaiche i me and began to relate to mie the story of his death. Ile was drowned inl the Johnstown- ilood, he said, and graphically lie related to me all the hor. rors of that terrible de'uge of water. flow it swept over the entire valley and carried trees and houses before it, leav ing denth and dustruction in its wake lie had evidently had a very exciting death and it left a hosting impression on him. "'lle told ie his story and then passed on to other angels. reciting tile horrible story of the .ohinstown tIlood to each one lie met. Finally lie approached one of the oldest angels I had seen : in fact, an angel who appeared to be sev. eral hundred years old, with long ilow ing beard and hair, greatly reseinbling Father rime. To this angel he began to tell his story of the Johnstown ilood but the old angel didn't appear to hear him -perhaps he was deaf. At any rate lie paid no attention to the Johnstown angel's story of tle il iod. "'This seemed to greatly clhag-'in the angel with the ilod story, so after fol lowing old Father Time about for a while trying to make him listen to his story, he became discouraged an I went to look tup St. ['eter to complain of his treatment, ie told P'eter how lhe had tried to tell thme elder y angel the story of his death and of' the horrors of the 'Johnstown il)ood, and1( how the former palid no attenltionl to him.

After an experience of live years Minesota has rc)eale(l the law which provided that a rebate should be given on road taxes for each vehicle with wide tires. The law failed entirely of its object--the 1mimutenance of good roads. When l-ix settlements were lue farmers would demand rebates for wagons that had never been used on the roads, and the road fund was mulcled for money that might other wise have been used for construction. As a result of the anti-saloon agita tion in Kaue.is, a " jointkeoper " at Wetmore was notified on a Saturday that he would be given until the fol lowing Tuesday morning to close his place. Ile at once got out a thousand handbills announcing a "1 grand clos ing "1 on Monday evening, to which " one and all "1 were invited. A local paper (escribes the " grand closing " as " the biggest drtunk the town ever had."
