Wu Publish in thts Jes,p a interost
lug article from a Wisfasslppi paper on
the now 'amous Ag iputural Qpios
of that itate. T e ai tole N iery
plain and outspoken, 4.bbleg, the in
stitutin "ouIr Pet humbug." In view
of the faat that it' was oalled forth by I
the.agitatioufor an Agricultural Col.
lege in this State, it might be well to
read it.
That Craslaaflw SQI. 1
The bill to reform the etimial law I
has passed its third reading in the I
House and will probably pass the I
Senate.
Among other provisions it amends
the law of peremptory challenges .so
that In capital cases the accused Is
allowed only ten challenges and the
State is allowed five. a
It would puzzlo oven a legislative
brain to assign any reason for. this
change. Thare is entirely too much
tinkering with the law in this genera
tion.
-.Mankind have brought the law of
twenty peremptory challenges from a
day that may almost be said to ante
date written history, and somehow or
other the civilization which has grown
tip through the lapse of centuries has
managed to live with this right in the
hands of parties accused of crime.
What change Is it that has come over
human nature Which necessitates an
abridgement of this ri ht?
A Chee tereiOaeer.
Mr. Jones, the late Sonator from
Florida, began life a carpenter; he
worked side by side with slaves; he
started at the bottom of the ladder.
Slop by step, however, ho climbed up
wards; without . adventitious aid he
rose from the work-bench to the bar,
to the Legislature, to the Senate of the
nation.
In the Senate this self-taught car
penter was a prince among Senators;
he was reckoned a skillful debater and
aln able constitutional lawyer in a t
body that had a Garland, a Conkling t
and an EdmundF.
All at once, and without an appa
rent cause. Mr. Jones, a few years 1
ago, left the Senate, the scene of his t
. most splendid triumphs, and took up *
lise abode in Deti'olt. HIe refused either
to attend the Senate or to resign; his
term of ofilce at last expired, and the )
Florida Legislature dieoted Mr. Pasco
to succeed himi.
He is still in Detroit, an outcast and
a beggar-a il in~g monmn.ont to tin
certain fJist~so ife._ is_sai
The world will pity Ma. Jones; his
rIse wvhioh was almost unprecedented I
Is equaled only by his fall, Bunt, not
withstanding that fall, the solid
achievements of the carpenter boy, f
who boat his way to fame, ill entitle I:
him to a place in the gallery of lia- a
tory as one of' America's most illus
trious men.^
The WVoot-(Growr.
The world is fail of men who are i
willing and anxious to live on the c
unpaid labor of othier men, who exact E
at all times every advantage that some
infamous law may give them. 84-I
loek is a typical human being. The ti
wool- growers of the west are singing j
the praises of a proteelve tariff They (
want to continue to rob the tiinig I
millions of other section,s.
It is said that "President CkIeis
message has caused wideagraad dis e
satisf-ction in Texa. The min Iis
dustry of Westeru Teras fa woxoi m,
lng, and those who have fl)ir me@us
invested in It deeathes P,aideud kn
delivered them into st hsaA; of t
Philistines, and will take step; to form '
a national organization to combat the
removal of the duty on wool," c
To read tlis virtuous howl one t
would almost think that these barba- r
rians on the prairies had a real grIev
anice. If there is any human nature lI
in the devil ho must have felt very 11
indignant when ho was hurled out of t1
heaven.
And here is the way that the Ohio ~
sheep in Congress blato about the a
me0ssage:i .a
Mr. Forani, of Ohio, (Demi.) said:
"1 am not in sympathy with the views
expressed by the President in his mes- d
sage. My district is a manufacturing E
district. I propose to stand by the' 0
people whom I represent to the dxtent C
of my ability. I propose to perform E
- my (duties honestly andi fearlessly as I
* understand them. I cannot be stamped, 1
coerced or driven--oven by the Presi 0
dent of the United States."
Mir. Willtins1 of Ohio (Dem.) said
he heard the message. Heo had heard '9
other messages, too, from the ime
* source,g.and one In particular o'th
silver question which met with just
about as inuch ers eet- as this one,
'would on the gRJ1E. Ohio is not in c
favor of taking tha tariff off' wool, and il
it will bie very stfinge indeed i'f the I
- Democrats from Ohio In this Congress "
support any measure. which embodies "~
ainterference with the wool industry.
What hope can there bp for the final r
prosperity of a country Whose destiny f
is committed e*en temyorai'lly to' the ii
keeping of uch cattle 'as these? "
