!®ftc Jerald and ^drerfisei’. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Jan. 6, 1888. ■nich notion ago ;i man himt 11* into Hunting the Horse Thief. Chicago Tribune. One day while we were in Northern Nebraska, near the Ponca Indian reser vation, we we're constantly meeting members of a farmers’ vigilance com mittee looking for a man who had the night before Stolen a “leetle sor’l mare with a bob-tail an’ white for’ard foot.” The members of the committee went on horse-back in twos, and about every half-hour we would meet a couple. One pair stopped us. and the older of the men borrowed a dozen 44-calibre cartridges of us. “Don’t the courts give you enough protection V” asked Briar. “No, sir.” promptly replied the man. “All law, no justice. Lots o’ protection for boss thieves, but none for bosses.” “Well. I suppose they want to be very careful that no innocent man is punished.” “I’ll ere’pears to lie some a-stickin’ into ’em. A year stole a boss an’ we chase*’ Dakota, •caught him an’ brought him backwin’ give him up to the ’thorities. The trial come bn an’ we swore every tiling we ’lowed was nec’sary. A\> reckoned we had him, when t he* Jedge, a big, fat old cuss, woke up, snorted ’round in bis chair a few minutes, wip ed his specs, an’ sed we hadn’t proved that the pris’ner ever saw a boss, and that mebbe be w;ls canvassin J the coun try for Sunday-schobl books, an’ the •jury of co’n-stalk dry goods clerks bro’t in a verdick o’ ‘not guilty.’ “That was certainly discouraging.” “Yes, some. They turned the feller loose an’ a month later he got another boss and lit our for Iowa. We followed an’ caught him an’ brought him back an’ s’rendered him. Trial come right on an’ we prepared to sw’ar worse’ll before, when what’d be do but claim we didn’t have no requisition, or some thing, an’ wa’n’t io officers nohow, an’ got a writ of herbs corpus or some sieh bus’ness and scooted away agin; only fust he talked loud’bout having us all ’rested for jiidnappin’ him, an’ start us so we used to go ’ out an’ sleep in the co’nlields o’ nights, so if sheriff come he couldn’t find us. “Well, the same feller six weeks af ter rode away one boss an’ led two oth ers. We caught him ’fore be got out o’ the county an’ turned him over to the sheriff. The day of the trial we all went in an’ swore to all we knowed, an’ a heap more. The Jedge woke up agin’, rubbed bis bald head awhile, an’ said mebby the feller was guilty, but t he witnesses was the biggest pack o’ liars be ever saw, an’ advised the jury, made up o’ ’bout the same crowd o’ yeller dry goods clerks, to take into consideration what a gang o’ perj’ers we was. Well, that night in they come with a verdick o’ ‘not guilty,’ an’the same evenin’’bout half of us was'rested fbr perj'ry an’ the other half was shot all to pieces by the sheriff while tryin’ to git at the thief in the jail. That’s the way it went, let tin’ the law take its cou’se ! That’s justice ! There’s your cou’ts! Well, in a little while the same cuss .got another lioss. We run him clear’crost the State to Kansas ’fore we caught him. When we got him we put a rope round his neck, stood him up on a bar’l, an’ tied the rope to the crosspiece of a telegraph pole. Then we held a good, square trial an’ give him more show than he was really en titled to, an’ started back home—of course, movin’ the bar’l away mighty keerful ’fore we went. That’s the way its goes when we’tend to things our selves ! That’s business ! There’s your anti-hoss-tliief ’sociation ! We’ve fixed sev’ral the same way since. That old snoozer of a Jedge is snortin ’round on the bench yet, but lie’s ’bout out o’ bus’ness, an’ I bet ’fore next spring he’ll lose his job entirely.

It is only justice to this royal lady to say that all Europe owes her a debt and what we have accomplished.

Although his enemies have severely criticised Mr. Cleveland on his pension the report from the Pension Bureau for the fiscal year 1SST shows that he will be able to go before the soldier element next year with good prospects of securing their indorse ment.

I merely throw this out as a feeler to the opposishun, which I hear is amassing its forces agin’me and my paper; and by the freckle-faced, bow-legged, cock eyed gods of war, there’ll be a power of high-priced opera music floating in the air if anyone of them tries to climb me. “If there is enny corte-house ring in this sweet-scented locality.

Com paring Mr. Cleveland’s record with that of any other President, it appears that he not only is not unfavorably disposed toward pensions, but lias signed more pension bills than any one of his predecessors. The statement is also made that 1S88 will exceed any previous year in the number of pen sions granted. These are facts that will be very hard to overcome when the Republicans begin their attempt to place Mr. Cleveland in the false posi tion of opposing pensions. M.

The Politikcn of Copenhagen, in an article on the 70th birthday of Queen Louisa, of Denmark, describes her as the “mother-in-law of half Europe.” History will hereafter say that our gen eration has seen no other such perfect type of the proverbial “managing mamma.” She has concentrated all her remarkable gifts of fascination and diplomacy upon securing the highest possible positions in the world for her children, and her success has been bril liant. She began when she was a prin cess, sending her son to Greece to as cend the throne of the Hellenic king dom, and from that time to her old age she has been constantly occupied in procuring lands and kingdoms for her children.
