The Morgan Monitor VOL. II. NO. 15. $1 PER YEAR. SOME DAY. In tho Somewhere region that’s ever bright, In the glow of the Someday sun, Is a castle that rears its columned height. Where the mirroring waters run: Where the tranquil moments like music flow To answer each longing the heart can know, And tho air grows sweet with the gontlo Of the roses kissed as the zephyrs fly. Like the fabled tokens of magic’s power It rises, as swift as thought. Irom the wistfulness of an idle hour Are its dazzling srlendors wrought. But alas, to dust are its glories flung, by the passing jest of an idle tongue! They are gone, those beauties of form hue That were built of tho things you meant rlo. ’ There’s another place wlioro the roses are, Though it boasts no arch nor spire; It rests to tlie hitherward, by far, Qf tho iamV.of tho Heart’s Desire. ’Tis built of the things that you’ve done, And the hours smile bask at the gliding sun, And yon lovo it well—though you sigh For the IIouso of tho Things You Meant Da. —Washington Star, MAGGIE’S BRACELET; fr OU’RE tho * punctual girl alive, A Maggie; and how sweet you look!” Lady Carew veyed her figure approvingly, Mrs. Fawcett’s ^ put (ho last to her toilet. “Do you really me?” and Maggie Fawcett turned slowly round that no item of her dainty ball gown might be lost. “My dear, you’d bo the success of the evening ; and oh, what an exquisite bangle that is?” and, with an exclama¬ tion of delight,Lady Carew caught her cousin’s wrist, on whicn glittered a magnificent bracelet set with diamonds and emeralds. “Surely that’s new, isn’t it? It wasn’t a wedding present, was it?” Mrs. Fawcett flushed nervously. “No; you haven’t sceu it before—I only had it yesterday.” “You lucky creature, to get promis¬ cuous presents like that! Who gavo it you?” Tlie flush on Maggie’s cheek deep¬ ened. “Eric, of course,” she replied, with a laugh. '“He spoils me dread¬ fully, yon know.” Lady Cnrew’s lips quivered into an indefinable expression. “My dear,” sho answered, smiling, “beware, of a husband’s unprovoked .presents.” “What do you mean?” asked Maggie quickly. “Only that their source is more of¬ ten a guilty conscience than an over¬ flowing affection.” • "Laura, why will you say such things? Come, the carriage is ready.” “So am 1 ; biit isn’t Eric coming?” . “Not wiih ns ; he was lunching with the .Delawares, and sent over for his tilings, liewill,go with (hem, and he , goes back there to sleep.” The two women took their places in tho snug brougham. It was a fairly Darshire long drive to Treloar Hall, where tho Hunt Ball was to take place; but there was absolute silence in the carriage, 'partly because, as cousins and intimate friends, there was no necessity for conversation between its occupants. ■ Maggie Fawfcett’s appearance at the fiflnt Ball was something of an event. Sho was the bride of the occasion. Early Eric in the spring she had married Fawcett, and this was tho first winter she had spent on his estate in Darshire. Now and again Lady Carew glanced, at her cousin. Maggie leaned back in her corner, the white fur of her wrap nestling round her .throat,. and her smallhead resting against the cushions of the carriage. It struck her com¬ panion that the young wife’s face was a little pale, and that is wore a look of suppressed excitement, mingled with ■something which seemed almost like anxiety. “What can be the matter with tho girl?” murmured Lady Carew to) herself. “She it evidently dis¬ turbed , about something. How she plays with that bracelet I I wonder — but, no 1 Maggie is the best little soul alive; and, besides, thoro isn’t an eligible man within a dozen miles. Still,, Erio I never should have expected Fawcett to have turned out a model husband;” and she laughed softly to herself. Laura Carew was a good six years older than her cousin, and she remem- • bered very distinctly that at tho same hall last year before Maggie bad flashed upon his firmament, Eric Fawcett had been her very devoted slave, and natu¬ rally she smiled at the recollection —a httlo pityingly, perhaps, for Lady Cftrew could not quite understand an admirer deserting her for Maggie ; and though she was fond of her cousin, she was rather sorry lor Eric. Women generally are sorry for the men who marry some ono ehe. Bnt, in spite of Lady Carew’s mod- erate estimate of Maggie’s powers of attraction, her card was full beforo sho had been in the room ten minutes—as | be; full, for that she is, valiantly as she would resisted allow all efforts it to j to till up two spaces which she insisted on preserving. husband She was standing by her in the midst of a group of people. She put her hand gently on his arm. “Eric,” two*waltzes.” she whispered, “I’ve kept | yes* “Two!” laughed bo looked and he as , down at her. “Why, littlo woman,; | wc enn’t dance together twice—it would- be ridiculous! Here, I’ll take ! this one I don’t suppose You’ll have nnv difficulty in ttiline in the other; you’re looking very pretty to-night. I must go, dear; this is uiy dance with L aurai ’> Maggie Fawcett bit her lips. She wouldn’t have minded people seeing that she was in love with her husband, and that she thought him the hand¬ somest man in the room; but men were her heart different—very swelled different—and as a rush of mem¬ ories came upon her. She answered her partner’s not very abtruse re¬ marks mechanically. It was doubtless bad form, but her eyes sought her husband’s figure; he was waltzing with Laura—it seemed to her that he was always waltzing with Laura. But, then, perhaps, Eric might bethinking the same thing of her, for she had certainly danced a great many with this Mr. Dobson —Dodson—she was not at all sure of his name, and she really did not care at all who was hor partner. The Darshire Hunt Ball was not amusing, she thought, and it was a little embarrassing that so many people noticed and admired her ban¬ gle ; she touched it doubtfully, twist¬ ing it on her arm so that the diamonds flashed in her eyes. It was very pretty, but- “Maggie seems to bo putting in a very good time to-night,” observed Lady Carew as she strolled into tho conservatory with Eric Fawcett; “she appears to be enjoying herself tremendously.” “Not half as much gs I am,” replied Eric, with a laugh. “It is quite like old times, isn’t it?” he added, draw¬ ing a low seat forward for his com¬ panion. “Oh, my dear Eric, don’t try to be sentimental! But really, I begin to think my warning to Maggie was not uncalled”—— “Eh! what warning?” “Well, it rather seems to me that the old Adam is returning, my friend ; that domestic joys are palling, and forbidden fruit is becoming terribly attractive.” “Is that a challenge?” “Not at all; besides, Maggie is my cousin and my friend, and 1 think it right to warn her.” “Are you in fun or in earnest? What do you mean by warning her?” Lady Carew broke into a luugh. “Ouiy that I told her to beware of a husband’s presents—t-lmt a magnifi¬ cent diamond and emerald bracelet often meant more than met the eye.” “Really, I haven’t the smallest idea of what you mean 1” “Mean? Why, the lovely bangle you gave her yesterday !” “I gave Maggie a bangle yester- day?” “Certainly. Sho is wearing it to¬ night.” “You must be dreaming 1” Lady Carew looked into her com¬ panion’s face with frank astonishment. “I am very sorry,” she said quietly. “1 am afraid I have been indiscreet; but how was I to guess?—oh, what are you going to do?” For at that moment Mrs. Fawcett entered the conservatory on the arm of her partner, and Eric immediately rose to his feet. Laura caught his arm. “Eric, don’t be ridiculous, it is some absurd mistake ! I’ll take that man away. Speak to Maggie, but for Heaven’s sake don’t look like that 1” Bat, in spits of La lyGarew’s ef¬ forts, it was not so easy to “take that man away;” and while the fntiie, friv¬ olous consternation rippled on, Eric stood by, bewildered, and stunned. Maggie, the soul of truth and sim¬ plicity, had told a lie. Tkero was not tho faintest doubt that Laura had spoken the truth, and spoken it with¬ out arriere-pensee. The stones of the mysterious bracelet glittered mali¬ ciously before his eyes, and yet, had not his attention been drawn to it, most probably he would not have noticed it. The details of any other woman’s dress were always more obvious to Eric than those of his wife’s, and Maggie might have presumed on that. But, Maggie !—he was very much in love with her when he married her, but he was uncomfortably conscious that be had paid very little attention to her of late. But then, Maggie— who would have dreamed— At last tho music struck up, and Lady Carew led off the intruder, hav¬ ing succeeded in persuading him that his calculations were out, and that it was precisely this dance she had given him. Maggie rose, too, but hor husband his hand on her arm. “No; stay here, I want to speak to yon.” “But—” “J. can’t help engagements or any¬ thing else. I must speak to you now.” “ lYhat is it?” asked Maggie, looking up at him. “Why, Eric, what is tho matter?” “I wish to know who gavo you this bangle.” Tlie'color flew over Maggie’s throat and face and her lips trembled. “I—I can’t tell you.” “So I suppose, or you wouldn’t have lied to Laura Carew about it.” “Eric!" There was something so pathetic about the girl’s expression as his name burst from her lips—she looked so childish, so helpless and so miserable —that the anger in Eric’s heart died suddenly. A wbolo world of thoughts surged up in his mind. AVhy had he left this child so lonely? The fault was his. “Maggie, dear,” ho said gently, “I know I’ve not been as I to tho be3t little wife in the world. I’ve set you n bad example, and y° n aro 80 J' oun £ you don’t un- derstand things—yon don’t know what men are; you’ve been a little foolish, perhaps, but that’s all, I’m sure—do you hear, dear?—I’m quite sure of that. But you must tell me tho story I of that bangle.’ ! “I—oh, Eric, I’m ashamed!” and she turned her face away. “Tell mo, dear.” There was a moment’s pause. “Well, then, 1 bought it myself!” “Maggie!” “Yes. Ob, don’t think I want to blame you, Eric, but the other women ' POPULATION AND DR.AINAGH. MORGAN, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1897. I know were always having presents from their husbands—flowers and sweets and trinkets—and so as yon— as you did not think of them, I bought them myself and said you’d given them to me—" Eric held her at arm’s length. She raised her face suddenly and looked at him. “I wanted people to think you spoilt me—that you were in love with me still. ” Eric Fawcett did not return to the Delawares, and a couple of dav3 later the diamond and emerald bangle had a companion, which was clasped on Maggie’s arm by her husband himself. —London World. About the Spices. Jamaica has the allspice which gets the credit of taking the place of many different spices; South America re¬ joices in the chile, which is used in great quantities. Cinnamon, a smafl portion of which was once held a present which kings were glad to re¬ ceive, is a native of Ceylon and has been known from the most remote time. It was first carried to Europe by the Arabs. Cassia bark is a rela¬ tive of cinnamon, and is prized for flavoring liquors and chocolate. Tho Malabar coast of India furnishes the natives with cardamom, and mustard comes from the East Indies. The Spice Islands have given the world few things more popular than tho dried buds of a tree smoked and dried in the sun, named in Latin, from their resemblance to a nail, clavus, and called by us cloves. In the same group of islands a s nail col¬ lection of islands are planted entirely in nutmeg trees. Caraway comes from the northern and central parts of Eu¬ rope and Asia, is need as flavoring in cooking and drinks, in cheese, cakes and bread. Sweet marjoram, native to Portugal, and capers originally grew wild in Greece and Northern Africa. Asafoetida, which has an un¬ savory reputation among us, is highly prized as a condiment in Persia and India and is used in France. Sugar, which we class among the indispensables, was wholly unknown among the ancient nations, and for that reason they used honey as we use sugar. Honey was therefore a vory important article of diet. Salt was almost oatirely produced by evapora¬ tion of sea water. If the entire ocean wore dried up it would yield no less than 4,119,300 cubic milesof rock salt, or about fourteen and one-half timet the entire bulk of Europe abovo higk watermark, mountains and all. Eva poration is still practiced on tho sea’ board, Portugal pro luces annually 350,000 tons; Spain, 200,000 tons, Italy, 165,000 tons; Austria, 100,000 tons. Salaries of the Church of England. As matters now stand, it costs a pretty penny to maintain the pomp ol -that church of which “the Queen iii the supremo governor on earth.” The salary of tho Primate (Arch¬ bishop of Canterbury) is tho goodly sum of $75,000 per annum, punctually paid. The Archbishop of York has $50,000; the Bishop of London, $50,000; the Bishop ot Durham, $35,- 000; the Bishop of Winchester, $32,' 500; tho Bishop of Bangor, $21,000; the Bishop of Bath and Wells, $25,- 000; tho Bishop of Ely, $27,500; of Gloucester, $25,000; ol Chester, $21,- 000; of Exeter, $21,000; of Here¬ ford, Lichfield, Liverpool, Llandaff, Manchester, Ripon, St. Asaph, $21,030 each; of Carlisle, Lincoln, Norwich, Peterborough,St. Davids,$22,500 each ; Oxford, Salisbury, Worcester, $25,000 each; Newcastle, $16,000; Rochester, $19,000; St. Albans, $10,000; Sodor and Man, $9,000 ; Southwell, $17,500 ; Truro, $15,000; Wakefield, $15,000; and then think of the army of deans, Bishops suffragan, canons, etc., and infer that the Church of England is an expensive institution, represent¬ ing a very high average of co-st for each soul brought to grace.—Chicago Times-Herald. A HushauiPs Dilemma. He had bought himself a fashionablo pair of trousers. On trying them on, they proved to be considerably too long; so be took tho trousers to his wife, and asked her to cut off about two inches and hem them over. The good lady, who was not very well pleased with the pattern, brusquely refused. The same result followed an application to the wife’s sister and his daughter. But before bedtime the wife, relent¬ ing, took the bags, and, cutting off two inches from the legs, hoinmed them up nicely, and put thorn on a chair. Half an hour later hor daugh¬ ter, seized with compunction for her unfilial conduct, took the trousers and, cutting off two inches, hemmed and replaced them. Finally the sister- in-law felt the pangs of conscience, and sho, too, performed an additional surgical operation on the garment. When ho appeared at breakfast tho next morning those around tho table thought a Highland chieftain had arrived.—Tit-Bits. Cruelty to Gild Fish. It may not bo generally known that there is cruelty iu tho keeping of gold fish. Half of such captives die from want of rest. As fish have eyes so formed that t) ey cannot endure the light, in a glass vessel they are in an entirely wrong place, as evident from tho way in which they dash about and go round and round until fairly worn out. Usel the X Kays. An English woman recently lost her ring in some cake she had baked. In- stead of cutting up all tho cako to find it, or running the risk of endauger- ingher family’s lives by leaving it to ba swallowed, she put the onko under the X rays and marked the place where the ring was bidden. HIS OPINIONS AS TO HOW CHIU- I)REN SHIULI) HE BROUGHT UP. A LITTLE WHIPPING 13 NECESSARY. Unless Children Are Made to Fear Pa¬ rents They Will Never Make Good Men and Women, An esteemed friend requests that I write a letter about how to raise a family of children so that they will all behave, the boys mal s good citizens, good husbands, good fathers and the girls make good wives and good moth¬ ers. “Is it possible to do iliis?” he asks. When the lawyers determine that a thing cannot bo legally done they say it is “ultra vires,” which means be¬ yond strength. In the first place, it is not possible to devise any plan or method by which all children can be raised or trained to do right and be¬ have. It is “ultra vires” and even if it were possible, it is “ultra vires” with me to make it known. Ever since the failure of Adam to raise Cain, this thing of raising all the children to be good has been an unsolved problem. ■Whether the difference in children of the same family is due to the laws of heredity or the doctrine of election or to different environments and associa¬ tions or to the devil himself we can¬ not tell, but one or more of these causes have been at work, My wife and I were discoursing about this last night and in all our ac¬ quaintance of half a century wm could not name a single family of six or more children of whom were good. Anxiety and grief and trouble because of children is the common lot. It be¬ gan with Adam and came on down to Noah and Jacob and David and Solo¬ mon, and yet these men had the spe¬ cial favor of God and were blessed by Him in everyway except in the conduct of some of their children. Poor old Eli, the high priest and judge of Israel for forty years, was cursed with two bad boys and God at the last cursed him for not restraining them. “There shall not he an old man in thy house forever, and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.” Because his sons made them¬ selves vile and ho restrained them not. What an awful curse was that! These sons of Belial! This word means worthless,had,naugh¬ ty, v’ile, and fits many a bad boy in our day. It is a fact, that reflects on our sex that the sons of Belial are mentioned more than a dozen times in the scriptures, hut there is no daugh¬ ter of Belial. “He restrained them not.” Well, the good old man did talk to them and reprove them most earnestly. “Why .do ye sueli things. It is no good report that I hear. Ye make the Lord’s people to transgress. If one nmn sin against another the judge shall judge him, but if a man sin against the Lord who shall entreat for him?” I wonder what kind of restraint the Lord expected or required of Eli. It was not talking or pleading with them, of course, for he did that. I wonder if the old man diilent experi¬ ment on the modern Atlanta plan of raising the boys on his love and their honor, for fear of breaking their spir¬ its. It makes an old man very tired to read the wise utterances of the mod¬ ern Solons against corporal punish¬ ment of had hoys in the public schools. I had rather go and ask tho convicts in the cliaingnng for an opin¬ ion. Nine-tenths of them would say I began in disobedience and was not. re¬ strained. The lamentable fact is thnt at least one-fourth of the boys at these schools have no restraint at home and if they'are not punished at school they get it nowhere, and so these sons of Belial go to the bad very early and become victims to the rigor of the law and tlie courts. There is many a boy in these schools who is right now on his way to the chningang. These Bblons say that corporal punishment is brutal and barbarous and must givi away to the progress and refinement of the age. About wliat time did the youths of this generation become better than those of half a century ago? Bead the daily papers and answer. How many houses in Atlanta are in mourn¬ ing because of the bad conduct of their boys? What good results can como from expulsion of a bad boy from school? He is not wanted any¬ where by decent people, and so he associates with his kind and becomes worse and soon comes to grief and and brings sorrow to his kindred. Obedience to law, to government, to parents is absolutely necessary for the peace and welwaro of society. This obedience is enforced among bad men by the fear of tlie law. It cannot, bo enforced among bad boys except by fear of corporal punishment. Their honor or their shame is too feeble a fac¬ tor to be considered. Obedience must begin early, even in infancy. My lit- two-year-old grandchild loves to ploy in the dirty coal box. “Caroline, you must not do that,” her mother says, and enforces her command by washing slapping them. her little hands and then That Is corporal pun¬ ishment, and is just as severe to the little child as the rod is to the boy of ten, and both are right and both effec¬ tual. The enforcement of obedience in early childhood saves nil necessity for punishment in later years, and it saves a sight of scolding. What a world of worry bad children are to other peo¬ ple! What a comfort are good ones at home and abroad. Homo mistaken parents say that their boys are too highstrung to he whipped. Yes, and those boys arc in danger of being still higher strung when in a fit of passion they kill somebody. The poet Shelley said “Obedience is tliebane of genius, virtue, freedom and truth; makes slaves of men and of the human frame a mechanical automaton.” He was one of these highstrung sublimated creat¬ ures whose rule of life was to do as lie pleased, to follow liis own sweet will. What a miserable life ho lived, and was drowned when only thirty years old. He alarmed his schoolmates by his storms of passion. Was expelled from Oxford when nineteen. The same year he eloped with a hotel keeper’s daugh¬ ter and married her at Gretna Green. Three years later he abandoned her and she drowned herself from grief. Soon after this he married another wo¬ man, with whom he had been living previous to bis first wife’s death. He was the intimate friend of Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt, and they witnessed the cremation of his body and depos¬ ited the ashes near the grave of Keats, in the Protestant cemetery at Rome. No, I cannot tell anybody how to raise their children. It is a fearful responsibility. I have known preach¬ ers to undertake tlie task and fail, and the congregation smiled inwardly at the preacher’s failure to raiso his own in an exemplary and orthodox way. I said something about (he laws of heredity coming in as a factor in the rearing of children. I knew tivo good men in Rome before the war who hail a like number of boys growing up, and these two families were close neighbors, and their hoys mingled to¬ gether and went to the same school and Sunday school and church. One set of these boys was good, manly, industrious and a comfort and an honor to their parents. The other set was bad, mischievous and untruthful. In fact, they were several times caught stealing or with stolen goods in their possession. And yet tlie parents in both familios wero always exemplary in their conduct and conversation; I asked Dr. Miller how he accounted for that. “Heredi¬ ty,” said lie. “Ono set of theso boys who have bred after their grandfather, w as a very bad man. I knew him w ell, and be was a terror to tlie com¬ munity. These grandsons have started out on his line. Bad blood in horses will some times skip a generation and then crop out. Just so it is witli hu¬ man blood.” “Can it not be eradi¬ cated?” said I. “Oh, yes,” he replied. These boys should have had more re¬ straint in infancy and youth. It takes more for that sort. The whippings they are getting now come too late, and I fear will not reform them. But most any disposition to vice can be reformed if begun in time. It is the same in animal and vegetable crea- tions. You can cut off a kitten’s tail from one litter to another until they will ultimately be born without tails. You can dwarf a peaehtree or enlarge a tomato.” Now, while I have my settled con¬ victions on these things, I do not wish anybody to suspect that there has been any brutality at our house. Some of our boys received corporal punishment at rare* intervals. Others had none— not a stroke, except a spank or two from their mother. Like most parents, we thought that other people’s chil¬ dren needed more than ours. But even the punishment they did get they have not forgotten and still talk of it as a big thing. Now, as to the girls, of course they should not suffer corporal punishment in the schools. In the first place, they do not need it. Secondly, if they did, there is no natural and suitable place to receive it, and if there was, it cannot be found with propriety.—Bin, Ann, in Atlanta Constitution. To Hoad Off the Jail-Breaker. A water tube jail is one of tho latest -clilevements of Yankee ingenuity. P a no longer necessary to make th» rir.on bars so heavy and so hard that, utting through them h ecomes very kfficult; hut, instead, they are made limply of pipes, forming part of a high nessiue water system.

T. P. GREEN, MANAGER. i OLD MRS. NOBLES GETS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE. WRIT OF ERROR FROM HIGH COURT Which Acts as Snpercedeas—Gns Fum¬ bles Will Be Given an Indefinite Respite by the Governor, Mrs. Nobles, the Georgia woman sentenced to hang April 23, for the murder of her husband, has obtained a new lease on life. It came from Judge Harlan, of the supreme court of the United States, who allowed a writ of error in the case Thursday morn¬ ing to net ns a supercedeas. It was presented to the justice at his resi¬ dence in Washington. Tho writ was granted on the repre¬ sentation of Mrs. Nobles’ counsel that she is insane, and will operate as a stay of proceedings and postpone tho case for at least eight months. This move in the case came unexpectedly and news of it will be received with surprise. Governor Atkinson will probably grant an indefinite respite to Gus Fumbles, her accomplice in crime, since he lias announced his intention of allowing the negro to live until the case of Blrs. Nobles has been finally settled. The news of the action of Judge Harlan in the Nobles case will come as a glnd surprise to those who have been working for the old woman’s life since she was first sentenced to death. It was understood that the case would go to the supreme court of the United States, but the prompt action of Justice Harlan was entirely unex¬ pected and will encourage those who are at work for the woman’s life. The case of Mrs. Noble’s has un¬ doubtedly caused more interest and lias hail more influence brought to bear in it than any c se over before carried to tho supremo court from Georgia. The fact that she was sentenced to die on the gallows cafised those who are opposed to capital punishment for the sex to begin work for her life. Prominent attorneys were obtained and they did all in their power to stay the proceedings. The case went through every loophole allowed by law. It went from the superior court to the supreme court and from the supreme court back to tho superior court. It lias shifted many times and a few weeks ago was finally decided by tho state supreme court. Arrangements we’ e made for the execution to take place on time. Those who had been working for the old wo¬ man were beginning to work desper¬ ately and despairingly. The last chance was the supreme court of the United States, and here it was intend¬ ed to carry the case. The case will not be reached until the second Monday in October. At that time a motion of advancement will probably be made and the case will be heard in either January or February. This gives Mrs. Nobles about eight months of life.

HUNTER’S FRIENDS ARE FIRM. Balloting for Senator In Kentucky Shows No Change. A special from Frankfort, Ivy., says: It is reported on what is believed to be excellent authority that there is a serious breach between State Senator Henry Senator L. Martin and ex-United States I. G. S. Blackburn, of the silver democrats. Martin, who has worked like a Trojan for Blackburn during the past few years feels that ho now has a chance to win the prize himself, it having been conclusively demonstrated that Blackburn cannot be elected. Blackburn and his lieu¬ tenants have so far declined to dis¬ countenance the movement, and have even gono so far as to bitterly de¬ nounce Martin for bis alleged treach¬ ery- But all this was dono in private, while openly tho Blackburn mon were assiduous to Martin. At 9 o’clock Thursday morning Judge Cantrill, of the Franklin circuit court, ordered the grand jury to report at once on the bribery charges which it has been investigating. Later Judge Cantrill called the grand jurors into open court and in¬ structed them an to their duly in the case beforo thorn. Ho said he regret¬ ted that the matter came up before the adjournment of tlie legislature, and felt that it was the duty of tho legislature to wash its own dirty linen, but having attempted investigation, it tom, was their-duty and to probe it to the bot¬ in so doing “I command you to not show any favoritism.” This unusual step on the part of a circuit judge was received with sur¬ prise by both republicans and demo¬ crats alike.
