The group on the porch waa talk ing about razor-back hogs, and the storekeeper was telling a story. "There waa a feller; travelin' through here," he said. "He was a stranger in theae parts. One day he come across a bunch o' bawga that had big slita in their ears. He flg gered at them slits. They was too big for brands. What else could they be? After a bit a native come down the trail. 'Jess lookin' at them hawgs,' said the stranger. Ytu was?' said the native. D'ye coin' tellin' me what them big slita in their ears is fer?' said the stranger. 'Not at all, says the native.. 'Have you noticed these hills?' 'What d'ye you mean?' 'Noticed bow steep they is?' 'Yes, I have.' Wal,' saya the native, 'that's it. We have to put them slits in the hawgs' ears so they kin stick their hind legs through 'em an' rough lock themselves down these hills to keep from killin' them selves.' " GQC There was a salvo of very hearty outdoor laughter at this, and Mr. Antwine stirred behind his news paper. . "That remin's me of one they use to tell down on the Arkansas line," he said. "There was a feller goin' through there, too. He saw a drove o' razorbacka carryin' on mighty queer. There was about twenty of 'em, -an' they acted like they waa crazy.

There seems to be no sort of question as to the ability of either of these eminent gentlemen to fill the po sition, and no one has been heard to put the ability and worth of one above the other, therefore the office will be well filled, no matter which of the two may fill it. But some people argue this way: "Suppose the choice of the Gov ernor had fallen on Judge Allen, and he had been - thereby induced to give up his place on the Supe rior Court Bench, or to give up a fine law practice and take up the duties of the Supreme Court Judge and suppose he was coming up to all expectations in filling the office." They say that "suppose his worth as a jurist had been fully demonstrated and he had the re spect and love of his eminent col leagues on the Supreme Court Bench, and after he had been on that bench about 18 months he was turned down by the Demo cratic party in the State; turned down to put another in his place. Would not that be a direct and terrible blow at him? Would it not also be a cut at - Governor Kitchin for appointing him?" They say that all good and intel ligent men would ; stand aghast at such an injustice, if Judge Allen, a good lawyer and an excellent gentleman, should be; treated in this way. Then they say that they see no reason why Judge Manning should be x treated in a manner that would admittedly be unfair and unjust to Judge Allen, were the positions reversed. The intelligent and thinking Demo crats seem to be of the opinion that petty jealousies and a faction al spirit should not be allowed to drag one good man down simply in order to put another good man up. It seems to be the consensus of opinion that if it were a question of Judge Allen being better fitted for the office than Judge Manning, or if he were more worthy of the office than Judge Manning, then there might be some' merit in the ! ceded. Both these gentlemen have demonstrated their fitness for the Supreme Court Bench and they deserve the unopposed nomination of the party. The nomination of J edge Manning to succeed himself is alone contested; the gentleman who is making this contest is Judge W. B. Allen, of Golds- boro. - Upon what ground is the con test made? The letters sent out by the com mittee in charge of Judge Allen's campaign place his contest upon the ground that he has discharged well the duties of Judge of the Superior Court for about eight years, and in this position render ed splendid service to the people of the State. We have no desire and no pur pose to detract one particle from this fine service. But is this alone sufficient? There are other Jud ges 'upon our Superior Court Bench whose legal ability is gen erally-recognized as equal to Judge Allen's and-whose service on the Bench has been larcer. If snlen- did Service on the Superior Court Benin, and length of service fur nish! the reason for promotion, then) there are some Superior Cout Judges who outrank Judge Allen in length of service and who equal him in ability. But why should Judge Manning alone, of three members of the Court to be nominated, be denied a nomination? Judge Manning was appointed by Governor Kitchin to fill the vacancy caused by Judge Connor's resignation; someone had to be appointed of course, and the Governor is vested by law with the appointing power. Judge Allen s name was presen ted to the Governor; so was Judge Manning's; so were the names of other able lawyers in the State. Governor Kitchin had to decide, and he appointed Judge Manning. The concenses of the State press comments at the time of the ap pointment was that the Governor had made no mistake. Judge Manning's work as a member of the Supreme Court has confirmed this opinion (of the press) and the wisdom of the Governor in the ap pointment Governor .Kitchin, f course, knew Judge Manning well! not only as a lawyer, but as a man and a Democrat. So far as claim that Judge Allen should be he said, what in the Sam HuTa the put in Judge Manning's place w$ can heal-, the lawyers of the matter with them hawgsf- -4 even thongh-itinyolTed Ihe btH8ta&' apeak in terms of high praise muiauon, inairecuy, oi uovernorioi uuugo manning's opinions as a Kitchin, for the private feelings of men should not be allowed to weigh against the public good and the high standard of our Supreme Court Bench. But when no such claim is made by any one, when all admit Judge Manning's ability and worthiness, then that sense of justice and fairness that our peo ple are so proud of is violated and their moral sense is shocked by any plan to raise J udge Allen to the Supreme Court Bench at the expense of and upon the humilia tion of Judge Manning, to say nothing of the financial loss it would be to Judge Manning to now go back and pick up a law practice after having abandoned it for eighteen months. Indeed, 'The native kin' o half smiled. They doe9 act quee, don't -they?' be saya. l should aay they does.' 'Wal, it's this way,-" said the native.

Appointed by a Democratic Governor, and having "made good" on the Supreme Court Bench, Judge Manning is entitled to the nomination of our party, accord ing to its unbroken custom and precedent. The endorsement of the Governor's appointee by nom ination has as we recall, been re fused a very few times three times by District Conventions, but never, as we recall, by a State Convention.

Compared with at her foods Quaker Oats costs almost nothing" and yet it in is - a purpose to rebuke the Governor is so natural that those who pre pared the letters sent out from J udge Allen's headquarters in his behalf, could not overlook it; but in writing to the known friends of the administration state that they are not fighting the Gover nor of his administration, although they are asking that the Gover nor's most important appoint ment, one of the most important acts of his administration, be re pudiated. juage Manning s mends are not asking his nomination merely because the Governor appointed him. He is his opponent's equal in 6V6ry respect in learning, in experience, in temperament, in Democracy, m character. -His ambition for the Supreme Bench is as laudable and as well founded as his opponent's. He. was called irom an active practice to wear judicial honors, while his oppo nent was enjoying them. He was honored without hurting his oppo nent.

We submit to thoughtful men thai Judge Allen's honorable ambition to ga on the Supreme Bench is not sufficient to justify the hu muiauon oi judge Manning, or the rebuke to the Governor to Judge Manning's defeat would necessarily involve.

URJ ROOSXVELT'S R2!ARXA- blespeich: 0f VO WA.Il J ACBMB Baltimore Sua. Mr. Abner Greenleaf, 64 years old, 216 West Lanvale street, president of the Ottmai Mergenthaler Company, while looking over a collection of rel ics gathered many years ago by hla father, the late Abner Greenleaf, found in an old book a beautiful poem attributed to Stonewall Jackson, the title of which ia "To my Departed Father." The poem appeared in one of the Washington papers about February 4, 1886. Mr. GreenleaPa father was born in New Hampshire, and at one time defeated Daniel Webster for the State Senate in a close and hard cam paign. He spent the greater, part of his life in Washington. He died In this city. The poem and the criticism of the editor of the paper in which it ap peared follow: TO MY DEPARTED FATHER. The following beautiful verses were written by the celebrated "Stone wall" Jackson. They breathe the very essence of poetry. No person of taste can read ihera without being moved by the genuine filial affection, so tenderly expressed by the highly gifted author, while the heart Is touched with sympathy by the mournful strain. The smooth dic tion and the charming melody of the stanzas fall like melting music on the ear, while the imagination is stirred by the striking and impressive Im agery of the poem, the commence ment of which ia so weirdlike that it fills the mind with awe and admira tion. How true and striking are the last two linea of the second stanza! Mark bow tenderly the poet refers to hia bereaved mother. Torn like the Tine whose tendrils curled More closely round the falling tree. There is not in the whole range of poetical literature a more beautiful couplet than this. How sublime are the closing lines! Had the great war rior written but this poem alone it would have stamped him as a genu ine-poet, and proved to the world that men of the finer sensbiiities are capable of great personal bravery, and can wield a sublimer Influence on the battlefield than those who are prompted to action by mere animal courage. As die the embers on the hearth And o'er the floor the shadows fall, And creeps the chirping cricket forth, And ticks the death watch on the wall, I see a form in yonder chair. That (rrows beneath the waning light, There are the wan, sad features there The pallid brow, and locks ot white. My father! when they laid thee down And heap'd the clay upon thy breast, And left thee sleeping aU alone, Upon thy narrow couch of rest; I know not why I could not weep. The soothing drops refused to roll, And oh! that grief Is wild and deep Which settles tearless on the souL But when I saw thy vacant chair, Thine ide hat upon the wall, The book the peocil'd passage there Thine eye had rested last of all; The tree beneath whose friendly shade Thy trembling feet had wander'd forth, The very prints those feet bad made When last they feebly trod on earth. I thought white countless ages fled Thy vacant chair would vacant stand, Unworn thy hat, tby book unread. Effaced thy footsteps from the sand; And widow'd In this cheerless world The heart that gave its love to thee, Torn like the vine whose tendrils curled More closely round the falUng tree. O father! then fo .' her and thee, Gush'd madly forth the scalding tears, And oft, and long, and bitterly, Those tears have gush'd in lateryears; For as the world grows cold around, And things assume their own real hue, 'Tis sad to find that love is found Alone above the stars with you. Baltimore Sua, The moat remarkable and . unex pected feature connected with Mr. Roosevelt's reception In New York on Saturday was hia speech. It was brief, in perfect good taste and lm bubal with the spirit of broad and enlightened patriotism It was de void of boasting, of valnglorlonsnesa, of vehemence. It was not the speech of a narrow and violent partisan ad dressed to a gathertng of partisans, but a message to the people of the United States. Mr. Roosevelt spoko from' the standpoint of a man who la under tremendous obligations to his countrymen and realizes the respon sibilities which rest upon him. "Any man," he said, "who has ever been honored by being made President of the United States Is thereby forever after rendered the debtor of the American people. He I bound throughout his Ufa to remember this as his prime obligation, and In pri vate life as In public life so to carry himself ' that the American people may never have cause to regret that once they placed him at theirtiead." Mr. Roosevelt served the people as President for nearly seven and a half years. In that period he sent many messages to Congress and made many public addresses. In none of his speeches or his messages Is there as fine or as Impressive a sentiment as that which we have quoted In the foregoing from his New York ad dress. It Is perhaps well within the bounds of accuracy to say that In all his public utterances he has never be fore expressed so clearly and so un reservedly the obligations which a man honored with election to the Presidency owes to the people. It Is a continuing obligation, which Is not canceled by retirement from public office, but is binding throughout the life, public and private, of the man who has been honored supremely by hla fellow citizens. Mr. Roosevelt pledged himself in his New York speech to do his part, so far as he Is abler in helping solve the problems which must be solved "if we of this greatest democratic republic upon which the sun has ever shone are to see its destinies rise to the high level of oar hopes and Its opportunities." . Now, what is the part which Mr. Roosevelt will play In the solution of those problems the part which he says be Is "ready and eager to do"? His New York speech shows that he has a due sense of his responsibilities, that he realizes it Is his duty to serve the". ' people. He considers himself "the debtor of the American people" not the debtor of a party alone. But parties are the instrumentalities throagb which the wCI cl tie ; Is expressed, and in his era . Mr. Roosevelt will probably r his political activities In LLa r the party which has heaped I upon hinx It -remains to be : whether his lot will be cast wilh progressive wing of ttiat j Whatever may be his place la Republican party, Mr. may rest assured that his career be watched with Intense interest i subjected to the closest scrutiny his fellow-Americans. He will judged by the rule which ta I down In his New York speech, U any man who has evar been honor by being made President Is be "so to carry himself that the Ace. can people may never have casz3 regret that once they placed him . their head." Mr. Roosevelt's t: speech after his return to the Unit States will rank. In point of bred: ol spirit and exalted sentiment, t the best of his public deliverarcc If he lives up to It In hla future r litical activities, he may become t even more commanding Influence i American polities than when he w frankly and often boastfully a car row and uncompromising partisan.
