A member of the legislatuare, who1 is so lacking in reinentent as to call a bribe a bribe, instead of calling it a retainer, ought to be expelled.

The artistic and clarming mannuer in which it few of tihe populistic riand f democratic members, who in so lo'd mouthed i a mannlerl, ch..alla:ooled the cause of retrenclmnielt and reforri during .;the first few weeks of the ses sion, now choose to show their con sistency is the mnost amusing feature of this most interesting legislative Sfarce. In the infancy of the session seve al days in all were consumed by these gentlemen who so bravely an e ounced their stand for reduction in, Ssalaries and other legislation deemed necessar"y to +;ave the state from irre triehiable ruin. It is well known how they balked at the very first hlurdle, a the cut in the governor's salary. lBut the action ,of these chlimpions during the last few dnays has shown e them to public in their proper light e for not a chance do they let go by to e increase the salararies of state olficers which for the first time dn several years are filled with friends of their e political faith.

Weyler set out for Villa iar'a 'to find General..G(,mez and undertake iegoeti-tions. a Weyler himself said the war will endd.,vithin three weeks. The fear of President McKinley's position is given as a 1 leading cause for the Spanish change of policy. Sells Hlis Wife For Beer. London Mar. i.-In Mexhorough, Yorkshire, last week John Tart, a miner, went to a tavern with his wife and offered her for sale for a quart of beer. A lodger, Enoch Childs, gave him half a gallon of beer for her and sirned an agree ment to make her his wife. Tart and his wife also signed hse docu ment. Childs and the woman then took Tart for a lodger, but after live months lie went away and she sued for desertion, denyi.,. that iehe sign-. ed the agreement. Exactly such a sale of a wife is the most sensational feature of one of Thomas Hardy's novels, for which apparently improbability lie has been.severely criticised.

Some timne was spent by the judge in selecting his jury, and when at last it had been secured, he swore them in, and thenl proccoed to in struct them. lie read his charges from a typewritten copy.pnela.s n advance. -Ie told them that theyr had good, hard work before them; that the matters demanding their at tention were of a most serious nature and the matter of expense,should not be considered when--it came to sum moningi witnesses in order to get, at the bottom facts. Neither were they limited as to, time. ,I ,ae.tier ,w.ords they were selected to getl, the true facts regardless of time and ex pense. In delivering his charge Judge Smith said thait any wro.ngdoings connected with the fourth legislative assembly had not been outlawed by this time, and it was as much their duty to pay attention to the rumors of bribery and corruption during that session as to the charges con nected withe the recent legislative assembly. This statement caused a breeze of excitement and surprise among the hundreds of spectators who were in attendance upon the court dturing the afternoon session. If the jury doe:..its work, and carries out the.instructions of the judge to tlha..tiei;, it will no doubt be able to obring,.in- some very spicy reports on timh- sIrious matters it has to consider, and many may be caught in the net which it will throw out.
