ISA TURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1898.
The New Attorney General.
- .1?th W Grigqs who entered yes-
— '11 slay upon his new duties as attorney
ggneral of the United States, is in
:my respects the ideal“ appointee of
President McKinley’s administration.
He is an unusually capable lawyer, says
the Hartford Post,

ence, and of just the right age to com-

His training in executive work is not
the least Of his qualifications, for he

Geographically historically,
' nothing could be happier than the
choice of this man. He represents a
state which, though in the front rank
in commerce, industries and education,
has been represented in the cabinet
only fiOur times in 100 years, and never
before-in. the department of justice. It

well of" the present administration,
having had an unparalleled record as a
Democratic stronghold, but having re-
'rersed its politics when academic ques-
tions were temporarily swept aside and
the issue presented to the people was
plainly'tnat of national honor or dis,
bonor. The'Republican victory of 1896
«as largely due to the brilliant work
sf Governor Griggs, who is in thorough
syrnipath y with President McKinley’s
championship of sound money.
If’t‘he new attorney general is des-
.1iued to vindicate the President’s
choice in one particular more than an-
other, it will probably be in the matter
of pardons. He has shown his mettle
as governor, and the belief entertained
by those who know 8 him best is that,
while he will give honest consideration
to all cases which have obvious merit,
he will not let his humane tempera-
meat carry'him into follies in this line.
There is a widespread popular feeling
that the pardon business is overdone
everywhere. In the exercise of the
gardening power the present adminis~
nation" has been far more conservative
than its predecessor; audit is most de—
eds-able that the cabinet officer whose
duly it is to recommend pardons should
sandy to improve upon the record rath-
vr than permit greater laxity.
It is probably not too much to say

that endears her to him a thousand

A SER'F’S'FFO'RETHOUGHT.
Bought His Freedom With a Barrel 0!
Oysters.
Count Scheremetef, an immensely
and powerful Russian noble who lived
in the early partot the century, had
among his serfs a. man named Schal-
ouchine, who had amassed an enor-
mous fortune. He had offered as much
as $250,000 for his freedom, but in vain.
One day Scheremetef gave .a dinner
party, and to his disgust there were
no oysters to begin the banquet with.
“They were not to be had at any
price,” replied the steward. At that
moment Schalonchine was ushered in
among the guests, and Scheremetef
bullied him as usual. “Your free-
dom,” he yelled, “you cannot have it
if you offer a million of rubles. -A
million, pshaw! a. few dozen oysters
would be worth more than that to me
at this moment.” ”Do I understand
then, my 10rd, that you grant me my
freedomif I procured them for you?”
“Yes,” was the answer. Schalouchine
had brought a barrel of oysters, having
heard of the dinner. The deed of
freedom was immediately signed,
Schalouchine took his place among the
ly the wealthiest bankers in Russia
but were ennobled about a quarter of
a century age—London. Illustrated

“Really?” asked , the inquisitive

O’Brien in the Arena. was a disappoint-

often expressed, that Dr Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the great kidney lemedy
fulfills every wishb' in relieving pain in

necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
