[SELF SURRENDER OF STATE (
RIGHTS. ,
While the feeling for “State Rights” j
is growing weaker in the South, or !
at least is believed to be losing its i
' former intense hold on the affections j
of the people, a stronger undercur
rent toward “State Rights” is set- .
ting in in the North and West. This j
is doubtless largely due to the pro- ]
nouuced tendencies of the present ]
administration to expand the Fed- ]
eral powers, and the covert threats |
of further encroachments on the re- j
served powers of the State and of'
the people.
The most interesting editorial we ' i
have seen in this connection of late i
is one in the Philadelphia Record, i
an independent Democratic paper, j
taking the South to task for Us self
surrender of some of the rights of ,
the states. It Is of interest as show
ing the gradual swelling of the State ,
right’s sentiment in the north,, and j
we reproduce it below in its entire- ,
“Os aIT Her Gulf States Texas alone

having surrendered function in

Marine Hospital ServicV A move
ment. has now been begun by the Gal
veston Chamber of Commerce to in
duce the Legislature and Governor of ,
Texas to join Florida, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Louisiana in tbeir act
of abnegation, and thus hand over
to exclusive Federal control the
quarantine regulations of all the Gulf
ports. The argument in favor of uni
form regulations is not to the point;
neither is the assertion that the Ma
rine Hospital Service is very good.
State quarantine regulations need not
conflict and the local service need
not be inefficient. The protection of
the nation as a whole against the
carrying of infection from abroad is
provided for by powers now vested in
the Surgeon General.
“It may seem no great matter, but
|it is of more importance than it
I seems. The establishment of quar
antines was one of the duties or priv
ileges expressly reserved by the mak-
I ers of the Constitution to the States.
It is conceivable that circumstances
may arise under which the establish
ment of local quarantine, even against
persons who had passed Federal -in
spection at the ports, would be ex
pedient or necessary. To pursue the
subject in this direction would lead
too far afield from the topic imme
diately under discussion —namely, the
propensity to centralize government
al functions. Our institutions were
built on a basis of local self-govern
ment, with the towns and counties
as file ultimate units. The old spirit
of self-reliance seems to have grown
weak, however, and while the Feder
. "al Government continues to arrogate
powers by “necessary implication’’
from the Constitution, the process of
centralization is being accelerated by
the voluntary surrender of govern
mental functions by the citizens of
communities whose fathers and grand
fathers would have resented any in
terference therewith from above as
an intolerable usurpation.
“And what makes matters worse
is the unworthiness of the motive for
this abnegation of power. It is most
ly sheer indolence—a lack of interest
in local affairs—or the desire to es
" -mail} tabling a local
administrative service; as it made
any diffidence in the last analysis
whether Congress appropriated the
money or the town meeting, County
Commissioners or the State Legisla
ture. Maryland recently practically
gave up sovereignty over her oyster
beds that the State might be saved
the expense-of a suvrey of the same
—and.so it goes, North, South, East
'and West. If our dual form of gov
ernment is to be preserved the States
and lesser political divisions will have
to vie with one another in the excel
lence of the administration of their
reserved and naturally appropriate
powers. Jealous insistence upon re
served rights is not Incompatible with i
uniformity, where uniformity is de
sirable, through co-operation.”
SQ Q CURES
.0.0. BLOOD POISON
The first symptom of Contagious Blood Poison is usually a little sore or
ulcer which does not always excite suspicion because of its insignificance;
but as the poison becomes more firmly rooted in the blood, the mouth and
throat ulcerate, copper-colored spots appear, a rash breaks out on the body,
the hair begins to come out, glands in the neck and groins swell, and often
ulcerating sores form on the limbs, hands or face. But this is not all: if
the poison is allowed to remain it works down and attacks the bones, causing
necrosis or decay, and makes a complete physical wreck of the sufferer. It
will not do to tamper with a disease so powerful as Contagious Blood Poison,
for every day the virus remains in the blood the trouble is progressing
toward a more dangerous stage, and may in the end get beyond the reach of
an > treatment, ihere is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood
Poison, and that is S. S. S., the greatest of all blood purifiers. This remedy
attacks the disease in the right way by going down into the blood and
forcing out every particle of the poison. It makes the blood pure and rich,
strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the system and cures
this humiliating’ and destructive disorder permanently. The improvement
commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S S S and
continues until every vestige of the poison is driven from the blood, and the
sufferer completely restored to health. S. S. S. is not an experiment, it is a
success and has cured thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison in
every stage, and being entirely free from minerals, is a safe as well as certain
treatment. If you are suffering with this debasing d’sease get the poison
out of your blood with S. S. S before it does further d.rm.i :e. Special home

OF CURRENT INTEREST
GOVERNOR HUGHES,
(Philadelphia Record, Dem.)
Whenever the opposite party places
in office a man of ability and probity
and nerve, and that man shows his
possession of those qualities when
he makes the atmosphere of his of
fice redolent with the perfume of
high motives and strong will, all mere
party opposition ought to cease.
When Samuel J. Tilden broke the
power of Tammany Hall and the Ca
nal Ring in New York the people of
the State made him Governor, and
the people of the Union elected him
to be President. When Grover Cleve
land followed Mr. Tilden’s lead he
was made Governor and then Presi
dent.
Governor Hughes is exhibiting the
same qualities which made Mr. Til
den and Mr. Cleveland the best trust
ed officers the country has known
since Mr. Lincoln. He will not per
mit himself to be sidetracked from
the course be promised to pursue be
fore election. He will not submit to
the dictation of party bosses, and
there is a wholesome cleanliness about
the executive offices in Albany that is
particularly grateful to she decent
citizens of all parties.
It is not for Democrats to suggest
Republican candidates for president;
but it is not out of the way to say
that Governor Hughes certainly
stands as high as the highest among
those who have thus far been named
by either of the great parties that
divide the country.
They are overhauling Judge Prit
chard’s career now, with a fine tooth
comb. One of the discoveries is that
he was at one time counsel for the
Southern, and another that he has
several relatives holding down pret
ty fair jobs with that corporation.
But that does not necessarily im
ply that the Judge was biased in, his
judicial work. Such conclusions are
hasty and may be grossly unjust to
the man.
Under the new Railroad Commis
sion bill, passed by the Senate, the
commission may regulate the sched
ules of railroads and compel the
making of connections at junction
points. This question has already
been passed on in North Carolina and
the power of the State to do this lias
been upheld. It is a power, though,
that should be used with the utmost
care.
We thought our Americus egg story
was the limit, but Atlanta goes us one
better. In a commission store in that
town—beg pardon, city—seven chick
ens were hatched out by atmospher
ic heat. We not have been
surprised if this had happened in the
House of Representatives.
The Bottlers, the Hoos Hoos and a
few others have cancelled their dates
for conventions at Atlanta next year.
The Constitution is about to go into
mourning. It says prohibition is
responsible. There is nothing in the
Hardman bill to prevent a conven
tion bringing its own liquors.
By their filibuster the minority has
had conceded to it its right to dis
cuss the bill and introduce amend

Wright and other dry leaders for this.
There was manifestly a determination

“I’d like to come over there,” said
a small feminine voice somewhere
from the neighborhood of the hedge
row.
Drayton, sitting on his garden bench
with a newspaper and a cigar, turned
toward the hedge that separated the
two gardens and located his visitor.
She was evidently standing on some
thing high enough to enable her to
overlook the adjoining territory.
Drayton went over to the hedge and
looked down into some exceedingly
blue eyes, surrounded by a tiuff of yel
low hair, surmounted by a still fluffier
blue bow.
“Hello!” he said, looking down from
his six foot height. “Where did you
come from?”
“I’ve been here often and peeped
through,” she confided. “Lift me
over,” she commanded in the tone of
one accustomed to being obeyed, hold
ing out her arms.
He lifted her over to his side of the
hedge, and she ran directly to his rus
tic seat.
“I’m not prepared to entertain la
dies.” He stood with his hands in
bis pockets and smiled into her up
turned face. “What fein I offer you,
madam ?”
“I’ll take chocolate, please.” She set
tled her skirts over her chubby little
legs and smiled back ingratiatingly.
Drayton looked dubious.
“Er—l’m sorry to siiy the chocolate
is all out. Wouldn’t grapes do?” he
suggested.
“Yes; I dess dwapes will do very
nicely, tliank you.” And Drayton
Imagined she was probably 7 giving a
very good imitation of her mother's
manner.
When be returned from the house
with a bunch of grapes anil a huge
peach, he found that she had filled her
lap with Ills choicest roses anil was
hugging them to her face.
“I’m doing to live here always. I’m
doiug to many you,” she announced.
Drayton, thirty-six and a bachelor,
actually felt his face turn red.
“Er—when?” he asked feebly’.
“Just as soon as you can det the be
dagement ring.”
“Os course, of course, anything you
say, but what might be the name of
my future wife?”
“Louise. It’s mamma’s name too.”
“It would be lovely to have a wife
named Louise, but you wouldn't like
my house, little girl. It's full of pipes
and things.”
“I could stay out in the darilen with
the roses, and you could bring an um
brella and hold it over me when it
rained,” she suggested resourcefully.
“That would certainly be unique. I
see you would be able to plan things
like a real housewife should, but do
you think you could stand (lie pipes?”
“You could keep all your pipes in one
room, and I could have a little blue
and white room and not have any
pipes, couldn't I? I never have any
pipes In my room.”
“That’s the scheme. We'll plan that
blue and white room right away,” he
agreed heartily.
His housekeeper was surprised when
the pnperbangers came next day and
did the south room in blue. She was
still more surprised when the van
drove up with all the furnishings for a
dainty little bedroom. She felt hurt,
considering how long she had been in
his service. It was a special slight for
Drayton not to tell her, first of all,
that he intended .to be married.
But Drayton, following a whim, was
fitting up the room according to the
child’s fancy.
Late one afternoon be strolled down
the garden path and found little Louise
waiting for him to lift her over the
hedge.
“Your blue room is all finished, little
wife,” he said, tossing her in the air,
to her great delight. “It’S ready for
you to look at. I told the housekeeper
a young lady was going to visit her
this afternoon.”
“Are there blue roses on the wall?”
she asked eagerly.
"Bushels of them—and little white
frilly curtains, and a dear little white
bed—and fairy tale pictures on the
wall.”
“Oe—oo—but I certainly do love
you.” She clung to his fingers as they
walked toward the house. “Did you
det the Sleeping Beauty picture?”
“Yes—and I’rincess Goldilocks—it’s a.
grand room, all right.”
“Well, I’ll marry you the first thing
tomorrow, and nurse can send over all
my dolls and things.”
“Isn't this rather—sudden? Perhaps
your mother would prefer your waiting
until you are a week or so older?”
“No, indeed,” airily. "Mamma lets
me do anything I want—that is, most
anything.”
“But she’ll miss you, and your papa
will miss you.”
“Oh, didn’t you know? I haven’t
had any favver for a long time—most
'leveu years, nearly.”
Drayton took in the five-year-olil dig
nity of her in an amused glance.
“But if you haven’t any papa I’m
sure your mamma will get very lonely
if you marry so young.”
“But I’m going to bring her over
here to live, too—and nurse, and dog
gie, and my canary, and my white
kitty.”
“Jove! I'll have to add a wing to
the house, sure as we're living! I’m
afraid, little one, we'll have to post
pone our marriage until I can have
a few more rooms built. You’ll not
mind, will you, sweetheart?”
“Not if you bring me some more,

caramels like the ones you brought me
yesterday,” seriously.
She was silent a moment, evidently
evolving a new thought.
“I have such a lovely plan,” she gur
gled. “I’ve decided not to be your
wife. I’d rather have a favver. It's
bc-en. such a long time since I had any
favver.”
Drayton caught her up in his arms.
“Sweetheart, you are the dearest little
girl a father ever had,” and his eyes
were moist.
When the room had been admired,
and the picture of Princess Goldilocks
kissed fervently, and the housekeeper
bad given her a cream puff, they went
back to the garden.
A slender girl in the other garden
ran to the dividing hedge.
“Oh, Louise, mamma has. been so
very uneasy about you! Where have
you been, dearie?”
“I’m afraid it's my fault,” Drayton
said contritely. “I took her to look at
some pictures, and we forgot the
time.”
The child held on to his fingers im
pulsively. “Oh, mamma, this is my
new papa. You are doing to marry
him at once, and we are doing to live
in his house. Y’ou know you said ids
garden was ever so much prettier than
ours.”
The woman’s face, vivid crimson,
looked into the embarrassed face of
her neighbor. Finally a twinkle came
into her eyes, and a dimple wavered
near the corner of her mouth.
lie saw the twinkle and thought it
and the dimple the most fascinating
combination lie had ever seen.
“I’d be glad to come over and ar
range the details with you at your
earliest convenience,” he suggested
audaciously.
“Mamma, do marry him, please—
please do!” begged the child. “JJanuna,
he’ll bring you lovely caramels.”
“Will you really?” the mother
laughed.
“Pounds of 'em!” emphatically. “May
I come over soon and get acquainted?”
he bogged.
She looked at his well cut features
and saw the frank admiration in his
eyes.
“I suppos* it's proper, Mr. Drayton
You see, I know your sister.”
“Then I’m coining over this evening
and sit on your front poreli. If you
know my sister, you’d be greatly lack
ing in hospitality if you didn’t let me
call.”
“I would hate to seem inhospitable.”
There was a note of shyness in her
voice.
He reached over the hedge and put
the child in her mother’s arms. She
put her plump little arms around bis
neck in an overflow of affection.
“Goodby, favver,” slie said.
“Goodby, baby,” he called after her,
and as the mother went toward the
house in the gathering twilight slie
was suddenly conscious of the loveli
ness of the rose garden and the scent
of the roses in the air and that in her
heart there was a tiny new feeling,
warm and tender.
Longest Year on Record. ■*
The year B. C. 40, by order of Julius
Caesar, the then reigning Roman em
peror, contained 445 days. To clear
away all the confusion which had pre
viously existed in reconciling the lunar
With the solar year, Caesar, with the
help of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian as
tronomer, undertook a thorough reform
of the calendar. Ho effected it by
making the year now called 40 B. C.,
“the year of confusion,” consist of 445
days and the succeeding years of 305
days, with the exception of every
fourth year, which was to consist of
SGO. This method is called the Julian
calendar.
The number of days in the months
from' January to December before
Caesar’s time had been respectively 20,
28, 31, 29, 31, 20, 31. 29, 20, 31, 29, 29.
These numbers Caesar changed to 31
and 30 alternately, with the exception
of February, which was to have 29 in
ordinary years and 30 in leap years.
In honor of himself he changed to
July the name of the mcPhth that fol
lowed June. The pontiffs in applying
the Julian calendar went wrong by in
serting leap year every three years in
stead of every four years, and this
continued till the year now called S
B. C., when the Emperor Augustus
ordained there should be no leap year
for twelve years, which made leap
year occur in 4A. D. At the same
time Augustus gave his own name to
the month following July, adding one
day to it, which lie took away from
February.
Character In the Eyebrows.
An arched eyebrow does not indicate
the highest order of intelligence, but
is expressive of great sensibility.
Scant growth of the eyebrows denotes
lack of vitality. On the contrary,
heavy, thick eyebrows indicate a
strong constitution and great physical
endurance. They are not beautiful on
a woman’s face, however much they
may signify either mental or bodily
Vigor, and when they are not only
heavy, but droop and meet at the nose,
they are disagreeable and are said to
accompany an insincere and prying
nature. Long, drooping eyebrows, ly
ing wide apart, indicate an amiable
disposition. the eyebrows are
lighter in color than the hair the indi
cations are lack of vitality and great
sensitiveness.
Faintly defined eyebrows placed high
above the nose are signs of indolence
and weakness. Very black eyebrows
give the face an intense and searching
expression. When natural, they ac
company a passionate temperament.
Very light eyebrows rarely are scon on
strongly intellectual faces, although
the color of the eyebrows is not ac
cepted simply as denoting luck of in
telligence. The form gives the key
to the faculties and their direction.
Red eyebrows denote great fervor and
ambition; brown, a medium between
the red and black.—Exchange.
“It is inconceivable to some peo
ple” says the Constitution, “that any
one may honestly differ with them
on a live question of public policy.”
