Along about July, when the wenth er is sizzling and nows is Bcarce, Congress will probably do something sufficiently important to record. Congress is a great godsend to the newspapers, but like most godsends it comes slow. ------••• ...... The Constitution mourns and makes the majority of its renders eery happy because, it says, there is cot ft Randall man on the ways and means committee. This means that the ways of the committco are all toward honest revenue reform. Thocbe, the contestant "for Car lisle's seat, is having his erse investi gated by the elections committee, and at last the immortal Dado's fa tuous query of Tboebo or not Tboebe will be answered. It will bo uot Thoebe. I’anl Blount (Max O Itoill) in a re cant interview says: ‘‘As a rule, I find that wealth is a great destroyer of true humor. Them is not that jolly Bohemian spirit manifested when a man becomes oppressed, so to speak, with riches. He becomos staid, perhaps fat and sleek, and clothes himself with a frigid dignity. Thetruo spirit, the freedom of buoy ant expression, is lost except in very rare instances.” This is as trno a thing as was evor said, and accounts for newspnper men being generally such jolly, coropanionablo poople as compared to their wealthy stibscrib ers. Augusta Chronicle: “We repeat, the Hon. John D. Stewart, of tho Fifth Georgia district, is on tho right line. His bills—the one to in crease the accommodation capital of national banks and tho other to make real estate collateral at national banks—should bo enacted into law. We trust that Judge Stewart will press these bills with all the earnest ness and ability at bis command. Suffice it to say. that Judge Stewart lacks neither earnestness nor ability. Practical legislation is what the country needs Major Barnes has already given us evidence of what ho can accomplish on the prac tical line. We believe that the en tire Georgia delegation will stand out conspicuously among the delcga t ions that may be in the fore front practical statesmanship.'' Hinging Noises In the ears, sometimes a roaring, buzzing sound, are caused by catarrh, that exceed¬ ingly disagreeable and very common di- ease. Loss of smell or hearing also result from catarrh. flood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, is a peculiarly which success¬ ful remedy for this disease, it cures by purifying the blood. If you -offer from catarrh, try Hood's Sarsaparilla, the p ecu iar medicine.

PAWNING A ttlRI,. The Chicago boarding house keep er must be a relentless sort ef a grasping griffin. One of her has just compelled an impecunious father to pawn his daughter. In other words, the parent has left his girl in the boarding house as security for an unpaid bill, and ns be is unable to raiso tbo money, the griffin holds on to the girl with both claws. Every sincere and benevloent per sou will bopo that the courts, which bavo been appealed to, will decide that tbo whole arraignment is il legal, not only when it is compul sory, but when the pawning is en tirely voluntary. That is, voluntary on tbo part of the pawner. There is no evidence in this case that the pawnee, so to speak, was consulted. There is uo limit to the possible consequences if the courts, by im plication or dodging, sanction the dangerous principle of pawning girls. In order to understand this it is only necessary to consider the pawn ing business. They say that when one pawns aomeihing the paw nbroker iesnes a ticket fixings definite num berof months ns the period within which tho article pawned must bo ro deemed or the loan renewed bv the payment of 897 per cent, intorest, or thereabouts, and that if tho article is not redeemed or the loan renewed tbo thing pawned becomes the prop orty of tho pawnbroker*. It is now plain that clangorous complications may ensuo if tho prac tico of pawning girls is sanctioned by the courts. It is a familiar fact that tbo majority of lovers are im peennioue, and that the lover who has two girls is twice as impecun ions ns tbo youth with one girl. Suppose, in a moment of weakness an impecunious young man should be driven to pawn one of bis girls. It is inconceivable that while lie had one, two or three girls impawn ed he should bo able to rniso the money to redeem the pawned girl, or oven to pay the interest on her. There is no reason to donbt that he would pawn another of his girls, and another mid another, until fin ally ho would he forced to pawn his best girl herself. Tho inevitable re suit of such a chain of events would be to centralize the ownership of very many of the best girls in the pawnbrokers, and to keep the liar bor polico busy rescuing drowning young moil whose pockets are stuff ed with pawn tickets, each one en titling tho bearer, on payment of principle and interest to ono girl. If centralization is a dangerous principle in general, tho centralize tion of girls is fraught with tiiple perils to our civilization. Tho Chi cago courts must act decisively and promptly in view of the fact that pub lie opinion demands tho maximum distribution of girls, now and for over.
