If the legislature would go out
of its own membership to elect a
successor to Senator Latimer it
would be a wholesome sign of the
"busting" of the legislative trust.
Judging by the way they voted
the majority of the legislators do
not seem to care whether or not
they go back next year. Perhaps
if they had foreseen that they
would raise tcir per diem they
would have been more careful
how they acted.
The representative from Beau
fort who attempts to defend the
legislature bos a hard task*. On
one point we agree with him,
however there will be manv
members who will not be called
upon to make the "personal sacrifice"
another term.
A representative from Beaufort
seems to be much exercised over
the criticisms ot the Bamberg
Jlexald as to the extravagance of
the legislature. Why focus, bis
wrath on the Herald when three
fourths of the weekly papers and
about four-fourths of the people
think the same way?
Not content with doubling up
appropriations for State colleges,
forming new circuits with attendnew
officials and court attaches,
creating the office of in
finance commissioner (tor wmcn
the State has about as much need
as a rhinoceros for a B flat cornet),
raising salaries?their own
included?the legislature decided to
relieve certain ex State treasurers
of their liability for bouds stolen
by their dishonest clerk, thereby
presenting these individuals with
thousands of dollars at the expense
of the State. What's the
nse of a State official giving a
bond, anj way, if the legislature
is going to relieve him when he
gets into a hole?
The perennial measure for repairing
or remodeling the State
honse bobbed np as usual at the
reoent session of the legislature.
It would be interesting to know
how many hundreds of thousands
of dollars that old building has
already cost the State. Every
few years another appropriation
is asked for and when the money
is spent experts say that the
bnilding is in worse condition
than before. By the way, wasn't
there something said some years
ago about suing certain architects
and contractors for alleged
swindling when the last "completion"
was effected? Did the
State ever recover a dollar? If
so, we have never heard of it.
IN A NEW LIGHT.
How a DifFarant Point of Viaw May |
Chang# tha Whola Aspect.
Discontent or satisfaction with an
object often depends entirely on the
way in which it is regarded. A difference
in the point of view changes
the whole aspect. This truth is
well illustrated by a pleasing little
incident of Robert Dale Owen's
childhood, told by himself in .
"Threading My Way:"
Near the isolated country seat
where I spent my boyhood there was
a footbridge but little more than a I
mile away. For the first ten years | ]
of my life I was forbidden to cross
it, and until then I never walked
on the turnpike road.
One day father told William and
me that he would take U9 to walk
over the bridge and to the other
aide of the river. This was blissful
news.
He conducted us by a winding
country road up the opposite bank
of the stream. Suddenly the view
called out my youthful admiration.
Across the river appeared a large
house standing in beautiful grounds
not very distinctly seen through the
trees. Spacious gardens were surrounded
by walls, there was a large
greenhouse, and beyond stretched a j
meadow. .
"Oh," I exclaimed, "what a beautiful
house, papa! Don't I wish I *
could live there! What a time we 1
could have!" i
Mv father smiled. j
"We are going to live there, my ^
son," he 6aid.
"Truly, papa?" 1
?v??** 1
*w* I
"Oh, I imw glad! There must (
be plenty of nuts there." g
'Too hare never seen the house
before V* asked father.
"Of course not We hare never f
been here before." t
'True. Take a good look at the ,
Sounds. What do you think of
em?"
I did so and announced they were E
much larger and finer than ours. 1
"My child," said father, "you are x
doing what much wiser and older ^
people have done before. You are
looking from a distance at a beau- e
tiful place with envious eyes. It is c
a very pretty place. It is Boxfield, 3
your own heme, where you have a
lived all your life." ^
Mixed Metaphor.
Edwin Markham at a dinner 6aid a
of mixed metaphors: "When I was p
teaching in lx>s Angeles I used to s
read every week a little countn pa- n
r>er whose editor's metaphors were ,
an unfailing joy to me. Once, I rc- c
mcmber, this editor wrote of a con- C
temporary, 'Thus the black lie is- a
suing from his base throat becomes
a boomerang in his hand and, hoisting
him oy his own petard, leaves a
him a marked man for life.' He d
6aid in an article on home life, 'The t
faithful watchdog or his good wife q
standing at the door welcomes the
master home with an honest bark.'
In an obituary of a farmer he ^
wrote: 'The race was run at last. C
Like a tired steed, he crossed the }
harbor bar and, casting aside whip j
and spur, lay down upon that
bourn from which no traveler returns/
" Rochester Herald. I
Dramatic. j
Just as he clasped the beautiful j
gin ill ma greub swung siuii . > ,
strange man came out and stood beside
them, looking exceptionally
foolish and idiotic, due possibly to 1
his embarrassment. t
"Pardon me," he said. "The ^
playwright had more epigrams than
he could put in the mouths of his ^
l/imfol rbarartprs. and I've dropped J
m just here to get off a few of r
them. I'll be as quick as I can. {
You understand my position, of
course ?"
"Oh, dear, yes!" they replied a* *
with one voice. "Don't mind us. 1
Go right ahead. Take the center of j
the stage and talk just as long as j
you like. We've been in society ,
drama before, you know." Puck. j
Pedigree of Tote."
"Tote" is good English on higher
authority than that it is a colloquialism
which has become engrafted
into our language. It is AngloSaxon
to the core, as, says Bosworth's
Anglo-Saxon Dictionary,
London, edition of 1852,thus: "Tote
from Totian, to lift up, to carry in
ha hands or unon tne nerson in
the same sense as the Latin Tollotollere."
Tote is not known except
among English descended people
and is unquestionably correct, although
now obsolete to a great extent. New
Orleans Picayune.
Poor Woman!
"Yes," declared a suffragette,
"women have been wronged for
ages. They have suffered in a thousand
ways."
"There is one way in which they
have never suffered," said a meek
looking man standing up in the rear
of the hall.
"What way is that?" demanded
the suffragette.
"They have never suffered in ailei.ce." London
Telegraph.
