The republican party is in power. A Now York judge has decided that women can smoke, but the woman who tries it for the first time is likely to de- eido otherwise. Boston now has elevator girls instead of boys. We have always understood that Boston girls were grent at taking a fellow down. Tho Athens Banner thinks the legis lature should not adjourn without making some disposition of the bill to tax franchises. This is a measure that should become a law at the hands of the members of the present session. EXIT MORGAN. EH? That is a significant story coming from England and which says that English financiers have revolted against Morganism. For perhaps it means that that leg of the Colossus planted upon Britain's breast will be pried up and the great statue toppled over into the sea it strides. As it happens, no one man has over been ablo to always hold everything down. Sooner or later a man or an in tercsi struggles from between his fin gers or hiB toes and proceeds to sue cessfully fill the role of Jack the Oiaut Killer. And the stir in England may mean tho beginning of the end of Mor gan. Wo hope so, and yot we don’t. Mr, Morgan is n modern Atlas. He holds the world on his shoulders. And fixed there, tho world is tolerably comforta ble. Y'et the task is altogether too much of a prerogative for one man. But it is pleasing that an American has grown to ho an Atlas, nevertheless. There is one thing, however, that can Jx> easily overturned in this con nection—and that is, if Mr. Morgan, ah a result of the English revolt, is slain, the trust question will lie settled temporarily, anyhow' Do not stay too long. It is much to break into the life of any family, even for a few days. Pay no attention to urgings to stay longer, however sincere they seem. Bet a time for going when you arrive, ami stick to it. Conform absolutely to the household arrangements, especially as to times of rising, going to meals and retiring. Be ready in ample time for all drives or other excursions. Carry with you all needed toilet sup plies. that you may not be obliged to mortify your host by pointing out pos sible deficiencies in the guest room, such as a clothes brush—the article most commonly lacking. I Enter heartily into all their plans for ! entertaining you, but make it plain that you do not care to be entertained all the time or to have every minute tilled with amusement. Be ready to suggest little plans for pleasure when you see your host at a loss to entertain yon. Try how well you can eutertain him for n change. Turn about is fair play in visiting, ns well as in everything else. Be pleased with all things. If you ever were brisk and sprightly be so now. lour high spirits and evident enjoy ment are the only thanks your host wants. Take some work with you, so that when your host has to work you limy keep him in countenance by working also. More good tiineH are to -be had MORE THAN MILLION PENSIONS. The report of the secretary of the Interior discloses the fact that during the _lnst fiscal year the pension list passed the million limit—reaching the high water mark of 1,041,68*, says the New York Word. And this thirty- seven years after the close of thewar. There were added to the rolls during the year 40,121 new pensioners—great er than the increase in any one of the nty years next following the end of the war, in 1865. There were 37,000 deaths of pensioners last year, and 40,- 000are expected thisyear; lmt the com missioner expresses the opinion that ing to new legislation enacted by ECONOMY AT DUNCAN’S. end of the fiscal year v 1,000,000.” The total cos tern last was 8141,000,000. over work thou over play, anjVay. Do not argue, or discuss, debatable matters. Few things leave a worse taste in the mouth. OtFer to pay the little incidental ex penses that will be caused now and then by your visit; but merely offer- do not insist upon it, which would he very mde. The national convention of the American Federation of Labor in ses sion at New Orleans defeated a resolu tion advocating tho organization of n now political party on socialistic lines. A NEW STAR. Sarah Beruhart is neither young no; ■lender any more and mourns her van ished youth, it is said, with tears more real than those she Bheds before tho footligbte. Fortunately a successor liasapi>eared in the person of a beauti ful young Roumanian aged 17,who be longs to the tragedy class of the Paris Conservatoire. Appearing recently in a scene from “Androuiaque” before Hanlon and other playwrights, she is said to have held them captive from the first lines and caused them to weep freely under her “magio power.” Let us hope that tho dispatch containing this announcement is something moio than a part of the preliminary boom of a young actress with talent hut not genius. If it is, Mile. Ventura may even eclipse Bcrukardt and Duse. Let ,us hope also that they will set her tq learning English without delay so that tho English speaking wprld may enjoy n lull share of wlmt she has to give. Tho Italian of Duse and tho French of Dcmnordt are beautiful, and the sig nificance, of (heir action is unmistaka ble, bat even the average intelligent Amoricinis opt to feel lost when it comes to long speeches.— Macon Tele graph.
