The St. Louis Republic says:

The best government need not
necessarily be a republic. A re

A woman may shine ever so bril
liantly in society, says the society
writer of the Free Press and
even “mount the throne of kings”
and dwell in imperial splendor;
but after all she is most potential
in her own home. When dispen
sing hospitality therein she is
above the mere empress. The “tea”
is her favorite mode of entertain
ing, since a “tea” may mean any
thing from a little flower-embel
lished cable in a corner of the draw
ing room where the hostess dis-
peused bright talk with the cherry
beverage, to a formal function
which launches the young daugh
ter of the house upon the social of
sea.—Ex.
The census‘bulletin on owner
ship and debt in South Carolina
shows that among 100 farm fami
lies 62 hire their farms, 3 own with
incumbrance, and 35 without in
cumbrance. On the owned farms
of that state there are leins amount
ing to $3,363,679, which is 50.24
per cent, of their value, and this
debt bears interest at the average
rate of 8.57 per cent., making the
average annual interest charge $80
to each family. Each owned an
incumbered farm, on the average,
is worth $1,851, and is subject to a
debt of $930. The corresponding
facts for homes are that in 100
families on the average 82 hire
their homes, 1 ownes with incum
brance, and 17 own without incum
brance. An average debt of $1,104
incumbers each home, which has
the average value of $2,356.—Ex

An Attempt to Client.
No governor was chosen nt the
recent election in Rhode Island.
The Democratic enndidnte had a
majority over his Republican oppo
nent, but not a majority of tin
whole vote cast. Under such cir
cumstances the election goes to the
legislature, and of that body the
Democrats control the house and
the Republicans the senate. It is
stated that the Republicans will
take advantage of their position in
the senate, refuse to meet with the
house for the election of a gover
nor, and in this way keep control
of the state, the present governor
holding over. It will be remem
bered that this was the method of
procedure last year in Connecticut
and that it was successful, the lie
publican governor serving Tor two
terms though elected only once.
It ought to be possible to defeat
this scheme, ami the Democrats of
Rhode Island may study profitably
the history of the senatorial elec
tion in Floridn two years ago. Then
the opponents of Mr. Call had a
majority of the senate and refused
to allow that body to meet with the
house in joint session. The}' even
absented themselves from the state,
that they might not be compelled
by the courts to perform their du
ty as legislators. But they failed
of their purpose. The m’liority of
the senate met with the house, and
as they were sufficiently numerous
to make, with the members of the
house, a quorum of the joint con
vention, the senate of the United
States held that the election of Mr.
Call was perfectly valid. The pro
cedent may be worth something if
the Rublieans of Rhode Island at
tempt to prevent the election of a
governor.
The really important point about
the matter, however, is the con
tempt for popular right? manifest
ed by the Republican party—the
party which has based a warfare
of thirty years on the South on the
allegation that here the legal rights
of voters are not respected. When
the party passes away, as it will do
in this generation, it will be chief
ly remarkable in history as illus
trating the triumphs which organ
izod hypocrisy can win under fa
voring circ u m s ta n ces— Ex.
Marriage Going out of Fashion.
It is impossible to read the sta
tistics presented by Professor Wil
cox in The Political Science Quar
terly without coming to the conclu
sion that marriage is going out of
fashion in this country.
With the exception of Japan, the
United States has more divorces
than any country on the globe.
Early marriages are growing less
frequent, and men and women are
postponing marriage until they
reach a ripe old age. Jn 1871 peo
ple married at the average age of
twenty-six years and two months;
now, it. is twenty-six years and two
months. At this rate people will
soon be middleagcd when they mar
g
in the cities, especially, mar
riage is on the decrease. The di
vorce rate is rapidly increasing.
While only three divorces result
out of 2,000 marriages in England
the United States furnishes the
disgraceful number of eighty-eight,
an increase of twenty-eight since
1886.
If this tendency continues to in
crease, what will become of the
American home and the American
family?
Statistics show that the country
districts make a better showing in
the matter of marriage than the
cities. The country people are old
fashioned. They arc satisfied with
a simple mode of life, and they do
not wait until they get rich before
they go to housekeeping. Modern
extravagance and the demands of
society are responsible for the
growing unwillingness of our young-
people to marry, and the same cau
ses are the leading factors of di
vorce. Even here in the conserva
tive south, there are fewer marria
ges and more divorces than there
were twenty years ago.
Is there any remedy for this
state of affairs? There is only one
—when our young people think less
of wealth nndjshow, and more of a
happy home life on a modest scale
—when thej- yield more to then-
hearts than to their heads—then
we may expect a reform, but not
before. This is a serious problem
and should be seriously considered
by the molders of morals and sen
timent.—Constitution.

The universal testimony is that this prep,

Is, therefore, indispensable to every Well-

“I have used Ayer’s ITalr Vigor for some
time and It lias worked wonders for me. I
was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly
becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my
head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair
lias ceased coming out, ami 1 now have a
good growth, of the sumo color as when I
was a young woman. I can heartily recom
mend any one suffering from dandruff .or
loss of hair to use Ayer’s Ilair Vigor as a
dressing.” —Mrs. Lydia O. Moody, Last

“Some tiino ago my wife’s hair began to

Ayer’s

‘‘Some years ago, after a severe attack of
brain fever, my hair all came out. I used
such preparations for restoring it as my phy

several articles recommended hy druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy I applied
was Ayer’s Ilair Vigor, which brought a
growtli of hair In a few weeks. I think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but I lilted it
-is a dressing, and have continued to use it
lor tlmt purpose. I believe Ayer’s Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation nowon the market.”

Universally conceded to be

works to perfection in the soft

others to work in any kind of
soil, as the blades are so
arranged and made of spring
steel, thu3 allowing them to
expand and contract when wil

The handle is bo arranged
| that it can be lengthened to
I any desired length by adding
pipe to it in sections, so that
any desired depth can be
reached with these Diggers.
It is light, strong, durable
and simple (nothing compli
