Civil Sarvlc*. ij"„e president devptes considerable .pace to the civil service, the practical improvement of which, he says, has lorn; been a subject of earnest discus sion, and which has of late years re ceived increased legislative aud execu tive approval. During the past few months the service has been placed upon a still firmer basis of business methods and personal merit. While the right of deserving veteran soldiers to reinstate ment has been asserted, dismissals for merely political reasons have been care fully guarded against; the examinations improved and made practical. Ad vance has been made by giviug a hear inp before dismissal upon all cases wherein incoinpeteucy is charged or de mand made for the removal of officials. This last has been done without impair ing the power of removal. Tlie Indian Troubles. The message deals at some length with the unsatisfactory condition of affairs in the Iudiau Territory. The large white element is said to be with out protection aud without schools or other rights of citizens; leading Indians have absorbed great tracts of lauds aud created an aristocracy, aud the friends of the Indians believe that the best iu terests of the five civilized tribes would be found iu Amerioan citizenship. Ref erence is made to the failure so far of the Dawe* commission to secure the consent of the tribes to an extinguish ment of the tribal titles aud a division of the lauds. It is said that should the tribes still fail to ratify the agreement then some legislation should be had by congress. Reciprocity Arrangement*. Hr. Kasson of Iowa is said to be n^w conducting negotiations with several governments for reciprocity arrange ments under the tariff act, and it is be lieved that by a careful exercise of the powers conferred by the act, some grievances of our own aud other coun tries in our mutual trade relations may be removed or alleviated aud the volume of our commercial exchauges enlarged. t’«M of Minister Merry. Reference is made to the failure of Hr. Merry to be received as minister to Nicaragua on account of the obligation of that country to the diet of the Greater Republic of Central America. As there is no legal authority at pres ent to accredit him to the diet, Mr. Baker, the present minister at Ma nagua, has been directed to present his letters of recall. W. Godfrey Hunter is said to be likewise accredited to Hon duras, a member of the Greater Re public, and his case is awaiting action. Affairs In Faraway Alaska. Attention is called to the need of prompt legislation as to Alaska and as to the extension of civil courts within that territory. There is need for sur veys and for the establishment of an other laud office at some point in the Yukon valley, for which an appropria tion is asked. Military force is also necessary and the establishment of some sort of flexible government. If the startling shortage reports as to the probable of food for the miners be fully verified, every effort should be made at any cost to carry them relief. The Seal Conference. Reference is made to the recent con ferences at Washington on the subject of the protection of seal life, the result of which place beyond controversy, it is said, the duty of the governments con cerned to adopt measures without delay for the preservation of the herds. Ne gotiations to this end are now iu pro gress. International Arbitration. International arbitration is declared by the president to represent the best sentiment of the civilized world and treaties embody ing these humane prin ciples on broad lines without iu any "ay imperiling our interests or honor "ui have his coustaut encouragement.

Don’t Worry. Not long before Ills death General Neal Dow, who was nearly 97 years old, was asked the secret of his long life. Ho said it was that he had never worried. Similar remarks have been made by other men who reached an advanced and happy old age. In this explanation there is the es sence of philosophy. There is no doubt that worry drives many men and, per haps, more women to premature graves. It is impossible, however, for some persons not to worry. They are so constituted that the slightest trou ble, or even inconvenience, makes them miserable. They fret over imag inary ills as well as real ones. The habit grows and its wearing effect becomes worse constantly until the physical frame weakens and breaks under it. But the habit of worrying like any other habit can be resisted with more or less success. The battle against it should begin early in life; it should be part of the self-education of every individual. Natural tendencies can often be checked and in many cases entirely overcome. We have all seen persons who have exceptional reasons for worrying and yet were the gentlest and sweetest tem pered of our acquaintances. These illustrations of self-conquest should be Inspiring to us all. Most of us are apt to look for trouble. When things are going reasonably well with us we wor ry because they are no better. When there is no real trouble in sight we im agine that there is plenty of it just be yond the reach of our vision, and make ourselves unhappy without cause. It has been said that we suffer more from dread of troubles that never come than from any actual experience. Old General Dow has given us a valuable hint and if we use It rightly It will conduce to our comfort and hap piness and to our prospects of long life.—Atlanta Journal. No Time. A lank, awkward countryman pre sented himself at the clerk’s desk in a city hotel, and after having a room as signed to him, inquired at what hours meals were served. i I Breakfast from 7 to 11, luncheon from 11 to 3, dinner from 3 to 8, sup per from 8 to 12,” recited the clerk, glibly. “Jerushy!” ejaculated the country man, with bulging eyes. ‘‘When am I a-going to git time to see the town?” Reputations Made in a Day Are precious scarce.

PRESIDENT LEAVES CANTON. A Sail Leave Taking From Bedside of His Dying Mother. Sadder scenes were never witnessed than the leave-taking of President McKinley from his dying mother at Canton {Saturday afternoon. The president left the city at 2:05 p. m. Shortly before the departure he held a conference with the doctor, who advised that Mr. McKinley carry out the origiual plan of leaving for Wash ington. He urged that the duties in cumbent upon the nation’s chief exec utive were such that it was absolutely necessary for him to be at the white house when congress assembled aud assured the president that no act of a loving son or any other mortal could do anything for the aged mother and that she would never again be able to recoginize him or to recognize his presence or absence. The president’s last words to the family were that he be telegraphed at every station along the route as to his mother’s condition. The president definitely arranged to return to Canton Tuesday morning, as soon as he had completed his du ties in connection with the opening of congress. TEN THOUSAND BALES ANNUALLY. Will Be Used by New Cotton Mills in Alabama. The Indian Head cotton mills at Cordova; Ala., within the next thirty days will be iu operation. The mills have a capacity of 25,000 spindles and 800 looms. Ten thousand bales of cotton will be used annually. It is given out that the product of the mills will be sold in China, brok ers in that country having contracted to handle the cloth made. A large number of skilled hands will be en gaged from the east aud many hun dreds of natives will be instructed in the work. Two hundred houses for operatives are being built and the intentions are to construct a duplicate of the mills w hen these are in operation. GOVERNOR GRIGGS ACCEPTS. Officially Announced That He Will Succeed McKenna. It was officially announced at Wash ington Saturday, upon the return of the president, that Governor John W. Griggs, of New' Jersey, had been ten dered, and had accepted the office of attorney general of the United States, w’hieh will be vacated by the nomina tion of Attorney General McKenna to bo associate justice of the supreme court. It has not yet been settled when Governor Griggs shall assume his new office, but it* is probable the date will be about the beginning of the new year. IRON FURNACE CHANGES HANDS. New Company Will Put the Bristol Plant to Work. The sale of the Bristol iron furnace at Bristol, Tenn., to the Home Iron company for $29,000 does not repre sent what the furnace really brought, for in advance of the sale tue pur chasing company bought claims against the property to the amount of $85, 000 . The furnace and appurtenances, in cluding ore, cake, coal and limestone on the ground, is estimated to be worth upward of $400,000. The company expects to put the furnace in operation soon. WILL BOMBARD FORTS Is Now Germany’s Threat Against Hay tian Republic. The semi-official Post of Berlin in its issue of Saturday says; “Should Hayti refuse the German demands for an indemnity on account of the alleged illegal arrest and im prisonment of Herr Lueders, a Ger man subject, sharp measures will follow. “We shall first bomboard the coast forts, and if they are persistent, we shall bombard Port-au-Prince aud the government buildings.” INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS. Commissioner Forman Reports His Esti mate For the Coming Year. In his annual report to the secretary of the treasury, Mr. Forman, commis sioner of internal revenue, estimates the receipts from all sources for the current fiscal year will aggregate least $155,000,000, an increase over 1897 of about $8,300,000. FACTORY EMPLOYES QUIT. Another Strike at the Fulton Bug nml Cot ton Mills In Atlanta. A large number of the operatives in the cotton mill of the Fulton Bag ami Cotton company at Atlinta, Ga., quit work Monday afternoon and walked, out of the place, it being declared by a committee that they were on a strike aud would not return to work until the company acceded to certain de mands made by them. The direct cause of the strike is that ! a man named Nelson was employed in the cotton yaill as a weaver aud re ceived for his services $1 per day. Some days ago he was discharged | without notice. ,■ A Use forEns'jish Sparrows. The crusade against the killing of our song-birds cannot but receive the indorsement of every right-minded woman. We are all ready to join Audubon societies, and help In every way to keep our forests peopled with beauty and tuneful with song. But there is a little rowdy fellow beyond the pale of our sympathies—that wicked little tighter, the English spar row. Individually he is harmless enough, but collectively he is capable of the greatest mischiefs. The exter mination of .our song-birds is appar ently the chief aim of hts existence, We can never forgive him, but our wrath against him should be modified, because of his one redeeming point he is good in pie. “Pour and twenty” of him would reproduce that matchless dish of nursery fame. Under the alias of “reedbird” he Is constantly sold in our markets and praised by purchasers in the final act of disposing of him. So let us enjoy sparrow pie in and out of season, since we may do so without a moral twinge, and, indeed feel that we are doing society a service.—Wo man’s Home Companion. Degrading National Character. The sensational press is probably today the worst enemy of the higher civilization in this country. It is do ing more to degrade national charac ter, to lower national taste, and to misrepresent the country iii the eyes of the Old World than any other single agency. The time cannot be far dis tant when an organized effort will be made in some form against this central ization of the great masses of the peo ple by newspaper enterprises, which are striving to make a profit out of the lowest instincts of the human race.— The Outlook. If It Only Helped a Little It would be worth 50 cents. One hour’s free dom from the terrible irritating itch of tetter is worth more than a whole box of Tctterine costs.
