Bllll, The Jeweller, Lindsay.“ The Farmer and His Gun. CHAPTER I.- “ Great, Scott, Maria, I do wish you would quit your talking to me about prohibition. If men want drink they are going to have it, and all your pro- hibition laws in the world ain't agoing to stop them from getting it.” “ But. see here, Joshua, don’t you knowâ€"-?” “Yes, I do know considerable more about it than you women do. Why, only yesterday, that lightning rod man told me that he could get. all the liquor he wanted to in prohibition States. I am in favor of repealing all prohibitory laws so long as they are violated in that manner. Maria, the only way to deal with this question is to persuade the drinkers to quitâ€"sign the pledge. Mor- al suasion will do more good in one day than prohibition which does not prohibit will do in a year. Then make the rum- scllers pay a high license. That’s what I call practical temperance.” CHAPTER II. “ Maria, this ’erc stealing from my orchard has got to stop, or by ginger there will be a few dead thcives around here pretty soon. I won’t stand it any longer l" “Joshua, isn’t there a pretty strongr prohibitory law against stealing in this state ?” “ Yes, sir, there is, and by George, I am going to see it enforced. I will get a first-class gun and hire some man to watch the thieves and shoot them on the spot!” “Say, Joshua, what's the use of try- ing to enforce that law ? It is violated every day, and wouldn’t it. be better to repeal all laws against stealing until pub- lic sentiment was ready to enforce them?" “ Public sentiment be hanged! That shows how much you women know about practical matters." " But, Joshua, you can't make men honest. by law, you know, and the only way you can settle this thieving ques- tion is to persuade the thieves not to stealâ€"get them to sign the pledge, you know, andâ€"” “ Maria, are you going crazy ?" “ No, Joshua, I'm getting to be a lit- tle ‘practical,’ don’t you see. As I was saying, get the thieves to sign the pledge never to steal again. and make those who refuse pay a high license for steal- ing. That's what I call practical work." “ Great Scott. Maria. what a dandy legislator you would make! Under the magnificent schemes of your fertile brain all great. problems would be solved in two weeks. Now, I propose to show you that the law against stealing can be » enforced.” CHAPTER III. “ Well, Maria, I have been to town, bought a gun, have hired Bill Sykes to the thieves, and bang away at the list one that shows his head over the fame." “ Well. Joshua, you know that proâ€" v hibition doesn’t prohibit. and here you a have gone and spent $20 or 330 for a l gun that will do no good. ltho Senate who is not legally (“hillin l l l ' l l s i l I handle it and keep a sharp lookout for! 2 l l l l i No. 6.. CHAPTER IV. “ Well, Joshua, six weeks have gone by and the thieving goes on just the same. Now, what are you going to do about it?” “ You just wait and see.” ’ .33”That's just exactly what I have been doing. Prohibition doesn’t proâ€" hibit, does it?" “ Not yet, but just you wait.” “ Is the gun all right ?" “ Yes, the gun is first-class." “ Gun loaded 7" “ Yes, the gun has been properly loadâ€" ed all the time.” “And the stealing has been going right along ?" I “ Maria, you are enough to drive any man crazy, and if you let up for a few minutes I will tell you why the thieving has not stopped. I have just discover- ed that Bill Sykes is one of the thieves." “ Oh, that’s it, is it I Well, now,. since you are one of these non-partisan ' temperance mcn, your next move will' be to get up a petition addressed to Bill? Sykes, begging him to do the work llO’ was hired to do. Or, perhaps, you will organize a law and order league to force Bill Sykes to enforce the law?” “ Maria, I am not a natural-born fool, and I want you to undcrsand it once for all. I have discharged Bill Sykes and hired a man in his place who has no sympathy with thieves or thieving, Now. I expect that prohibition will pro- hibit.” “Joshua, if you had the sense of a fresh water clam you would learn a les- son from this. You complain that pro- hibition of the liquor traffic does not prohibit and that the liquor men violate every law passed for the protection of society. Yet you and the rest of your party vote men into office like Bill Sykes, who are a. part of a gang of law breakers. Instead of voting to discharge these men and put prohibitionists into office, you rc-clcct the some old crowd and then whine that ‘ prohibition does. not prohibit,’ and ‘you can not make» men good by law,’ and such cowardly nonsensu. Joshua, vote to discharge forever all the Bill Sykeses and place the- prohibition guns in the hands of pro- hibitionists, who have no sympathy with- rum-sclling or rum-sellers.” “ Oh Lord. these women! these we- men l”-â€" Tullt'e Morgan, Scranton, I’u. ~-qâ€"._.-.___ Senatorial Qualifications. It is curious how these damaging rumors respecting the property qualiti- catious of some unnamed and indefinite Senators, always chance to revive when there is a prospect that the Senate will administer “cold justice ” to a doubt- ful Government measure. It may be that there is no connection between these two circumstances, but it, must be con- Iesscd that. they look like “ blood rela- tions." The Senate cannot, of course, be coerced by any such means; but this kind of thing must be irritatingr to the. gentlemen who form that chamber, Inr no longer ago than at the openingr of the present. Parliament, they all made legal declaration that they were proper- ly qualified to sit. If the Governmth or anyone else doubts the veracity of any particular Senator in this matter, the truth can he arrived at without very much trouble. Certainly, if the Government is possessed of any inform. ation casting doubt upon the legal qual- ification of any Senator. its plain duty is to make very certain of the exact. facts of the case at once, without refer- ence to Yukon “deals” or anything else. It is decidedly against the pub- lic interest that any man should sit in to do so; and it is the duty of the Gov- ernment to guard public interest in the. matter. But these vague and Cowardly rumors should cause. The very fact that the Govei'nnmnt has taken no action in the case of any Senator, isâ€"or at least ought to be-positive proof that. the \linisters have no information put- ting the qaulificrtion of any Senator in doubt. If anyone has such inlhrmution, the Government is the place to which it. should be taken. But it is offensive and c-Mardly in the extreme to endeav- or to cast a shadow upon the personal veracity ol :1 large number of gentlemen, who pay the penalty of convpicnmxsness for the services they render them-intry. by settingafloatdamaging rumore hich If men tvnot. are given neither a birthplace nor a bil- ,; to steal they are going: to, and all your let.â€".llonlrwl Star.
