Co:
I would respectfully submit the fol-

I have visited and examined. the
county jail and the Home for the Aged.
and Iafirm, as required by taw, and find
them beth in good condition, The
health of the inmates is very good, and
as a rule tney are well fed and clothed,
Some of the prisoners in the jail com~
plain that they have no change ot
clothes, and U would suggest that your
body empower the Sheriff to supply
them with a change of clothes, as it
wilt be impossible to preserve their
health unless this is done,
Some ot your body have doubtless
been informed of the complaint about
the of the
County Home I have examined into
these reports and find that they ail
originated from a few of the inmates
who labor under the delusion that the
county is being honored by their re-
Muintag its charges. I have been pres-
feeding of the inmates

ent at one of their meals and found a
p

afford.
Respectfully sabmitted.

Reportorial and Typographical Errors. |
A correspondent sends us some
more reportersT errors. Mr.,Asquith |
once referred to the governmentTs
, ~pique or temper.TT ~The reporter
wrote ~peacock temper.�T A speaker
at Exeter hall, replying to an attack,
said it was ~a double lie in the shape
of half a truth,� which, by the in-
genuity of the reporter, appeared as
~a double eye in the shape of half a
tooth.� Lord Russell, the then
canon of Windsor, had been trying,
he said, for 40 years to cure drunk-
ards by making them drink in mod-
eration. The local paper had it that
he had been trying for 40 years to
drink in moderation, but had never
once succeeded. Sir James Grant,
in aspeech in the Canadian house of
commons, once referred toa manTs
thorax. When in print, it read ~~a
manTs pickax.TT And on another oc-
casion his reference to ~~food for the
godsTT appeared ~~food for the cods.�T
In setting up a speech of Sir Henry
Irving the compositor made ~~many
journeys in small boats,� read
oweary journeys in small boots;�
but this is not to the credit of the
reporter, but the printer."West-
minster Gazette.
Two Kinds of Rocks.

The Art of Conversation Is a Gift.
A good talker is born, not made.
By reading good books, by keeping
oneself well informed as to the
interesting eveuts of the day, one
may become « good conversational-
ist. Still, the most fascinating talk-
ers are by no means those who know
the must. but, instead, those who].
have the greatest amount of tact,
are most sympathetic, versatile, and,
most important of all, have that
wonderful something that, lacking
a better name, we call magnetism.

may meet with all the success it
deserves.
Some folks make a great muss over
little things that some other so called
great folks do, while achievements of
ten fold greater magnitude by people
of less note are passed by as unworthy
of consideration. Why just look at
the nonsense over Grover Cleveland !
He canTt go out on a little gunning
trip but what the Associated Press has
to telegraph columns of stuff over the
country about it, The other day he
spent a whole day out on a hunt and
it was told with a great flourish that
he killed six rabits and two partridges.

President McKinleyTs message to
Congress made its appearance in
TuesdayTs papers. ~The message
may suit some of the Republi-
cons and the advocates ot a single
gold stardard, but people holding a
different view can see no ood to the
country at large in the suggestiors he
mak eg.
In his reference to the tarff can
almost ke seen a vien of disappoint-
ment ut the results so far produced by
the Dingley bill that was adopted by
the late extra session. He sees noth-
ing in that measure that even a Re-
publican can boast of and shoves it
aside with few words, with the recom~
-qwenéation that retrenchment be made
in appropriations.
Neither could the President make
any brag about the farce played by
his commission that wert over to
England to confer upén inter-national
bimetallism but he recommends the
adoption of Secretary GageTs plan ang
that all United States notes. upon
which gold is drawn out of the Treas-
ury be held and not paid cut again
except for gold.
In reference to the Cuban question
he wants the United States to keep
hands off and let Spain attend to
gettling the war over there. He
evidently has more faith in SpainTs
good intentions towards Cuba than
most of our people have, and in this
he is not in harmony with his party
platform. |
The President shows more concern
; *
AS
about Hawaii than he does about
Cuba, and wants us to go 2,000 miles
away from our shores and annex that
country which our government has no
use in the world for.
He sticks the knife in many very
anxious pie hunting Bepublicans in his
declaration to stand by the civil service
law.
The message taken as a whele has
no merit except 1ts easy flow of lan-
guage, As a state paper it will rank
tar below the average. It is a well
drawn cover of unkept promises, but
is about what was expected,

Something of a Storm Brewing
ocean eran
Washington, Dec. 4."A storm in
the Republican camp is impending over
the appointment cf collector and at-
torney in the eastern district. Repre-
sentative SkinnerTs conferenc? with the
President two days ago has stiffened
his back-bone and the Republican
Populist faction here, supporting Cobb
for collector and Bernard for district
attorney, is indulging war"to-the-
knife.talk tonight, Cobb is detained
at home by illness in his family, but
his supporters, including Mr. Theo.
White, the Populist
county committee of Hertford, are
here in force. They are pugnacious in
theirtlemands in this instance. They
plainly and openly declare that the
defeat of Cobb and Bernard means the
demoralization of the Republian party
chairman of
in the eastern section ot the Scate and
Democratic success in the next Legis"
lature and judicial elections through-
out he State. From their standpoint
~t will be anact cf bad faith that will
prove disastrous {to the Republican
party.
Senator Pritchard and Representa-
time Skinner hope to reach some con"
clusion that. wiil be accepted by the
candidates that will probably .1ean

oMr. C. Baker, the ndertaker and
turniture man, has a factotum called
Tos, (be has his visiting cards engrav
ed oMr Tosten Hoke�), who is Very
tond of firewater. A professional
gentleman caught Tos. tasting @ pint
bottle ot his choiee corn Wednesday and
as a punishment forced him to driuk
the whole pint at ance. As a natural
consequence, Tos. was vcry
stretched out in his employerTs coffin
room, dead drunk. Mr. Bake: got
out a coffin, placed his unconscious
porter therein, screwed down the lid
and awaited developments, Atter
several hours of profound slumber,
soon
Tos. awoke. It was. several minutes
before he could succeed in figuring out
just owhere he was at,� but when he
did succeed in figuring out that he: was
buried, the slumbering echoes were
awakened likewise, anT, such cryin¢
and praying and lamentation and
scufiling was never before heard
bareabouts. Mr. Baker, fearing he
would have a coffin torn to pieces, un-
ecrewed the lid and released his terri-
fied man.
Tos has been sober ever since."

Although it 18 perfectly clear
that a large majority of the House
are just as strongly in fayor of
adopting the Morgan resolution
for the recognition of the bellig~
erency of the Cubans, which was
adopted by the Senate at the
extra session, as they were at the
extra session, it is equally clear
that they will not do it. Czar
Keed and his lieutenants agree
with the McKinley policy of
waiting and will not give the
House the opportunity to vote
upon the Morgan or any other
Cuban resolution, Thus,. the
country is snown how mistaken it
bas been in supposing that, under
our government, the majority
rules, in either or both hranches
of Congress. The majority ruies
allright, when aliowed to yote,
but voting is only done in the
House by Czar ReedTs permission,
and in the Senate yoting 18 only
done when the minority consents.
