Congressman Qussell heljped R get
the salary grab through, and the pgmle
will have to ante up the amu,£ de
manded.
Monday put a period to the career of
the fifty-third congress. So far as the
information goes the demand for mourn
ing emblems was not increased.
Judge Griggs, who heard the petition
for sale, will probably preside on the
hearing of tbe application for a post
ponement of the sale of the Georgia,
Southern and Florida railroad.
The price of horses in the state of
Washington is about on a level with
street car fores. In Tacoma a good
horse can We bought for $2.50. It is
cheaper to ride than to wear out shoe
leather.
The farmers in Western Michigan are
coming to the conclusion that there is
no money in trying to'compete with the
Argentine, Russian and India wheat
growers, and they are going into fruit
growing on a much larger scale than us
ual.
Next year when congressional candi
dates begin to blvom the people will
want to know in advance of party nomi
nations whether the candidates are plat
form democrats from patriotism or for
office and the emoluments attatched
thereto. They have had more than
enough of the latter kind during the
past two years.
The spectacle presented by the Ailan
ta Constitution defending Congressman
Livingston against the assault of the
Atlanta Journal foc voting foran extra
month’s pay for clerks of congressmen
is truly pathetic.— Albany Herald.
The _Herald has evidently overlooked
the fact that Congressman Livingston
was aided and abetted by the vote of
Congressman Russell. What has the
Herald to say of our owh re presentative?
It is proposed that there shall be,
during the Atlanta exposition, an espe
cial ‘“‘cotton day,” to be followed by a
“eotton ball’”” at night, on which occa
sion both the men and the women shall
undertake to show how cotton goods can
be worn for adornment as well as for
economy’s sake. Theidea should prove
popular. Its consumation would no
doubt be attended with some striking
results.
The Tennessee legislative investigat
ing committee does not seem disposed to
treat the republican candidate with fair
ness, else the committee would not have
slipped away to avoid hearing Mr. Ev
ans’ protest. The committee should
bear in'mind that that kind of ‘“‘practical
politics” is not safe, however successfui
the scheme may be for the moment.
They are simply making it easy for the
republicans to carry Tennessee next
time. It pays to be honest in politics as
well as in other things.
It is noted as a peculiar feature of the
markets that while aristocratic wheat is
having a hard struggle, and is going
down in price, plebian rye—.he grain
and the flour, not the distilled
product—is gaining in value. A day ot
two ago the price of rye in the grain
was quoted as even with whea*, with
the market strong, while wheat was
weak and dull. Rye flo%r was quoted at
$2.65 Lo $3.00 per varrel with a strong
market, and wheat at $2.10 to $3.00 per
barrel with a flat market. Rye appears
to be coming along in auother way than
in the bottle.
A striking effsct the late severe cold
snap anlsnow fall in the south was the
greatly increased death rate among the
colored population. In the city of New
Orleans during the week of the snow
the negro mortality rate in that city
sprang up to 50.88 per 1,000. When it is
noted to what extent the cold disagrees
with the black it is useless to remark
that he does not like a cold climate. It
is pretty safe to say that a iarge percen!-
age of the blacks of the south have not
yet ‘“‘thawed out” from the two ex
tremely cold waves of this unusually
cold winter.
WHAT THE FARMER IS uP 70.
There is one thing the farmer is dead
bent on, Hon. Benjamin F. Clayton,
president of the Farmers’ National .con
gress, tells us in the North American
Review. That one object is the better
ing of his condition financially. }lc‘
d 'es not care for politics as such 1n the
partisan sense. He is interested in It‘
precisely to the extent thai it wili work
for or against Liis material welfare.
Small blame to him, too, if his poiiti a
ideas have chrystalized around this ccn
ter. It shows that he is at last learning
the doctrines so long practiced with
more or less snccess by his masters, the
politicians
Live stock, implements and other
farm property amount to nearly $lB,-
5,000,000,000 apart from the land itself.
Inclading the value of the land, agri
culture represepts 66 per cent of the en
tire wealth ufeqle nation. ‘T'o incrense
this individuaily and collectively thro uzh
legislation and throngh private effor:
the Farmers’ National congress was ol
ganized. It is sirictly non-political in
character. except as by working in a
body it seeks to influence national legis
lation for the good of its members. It
has the same nvmber of members as
the United States congress, and its dele
gates hold office two years.
COMMERCIAL RETALIATION.
1t is to be hoped that the president 01
the United States will never be forced
to have recourse to the sweeping powet
the law made in 1890 gives him over
the products of foreign nations import
ing goods into this country. When Ger
many discriminated against our pork a
few months ago, somne zealous souls
urged Mr. Cleveland to make use of his
extraordinary power at once, but he was
wise enough rot to do it. Again when
Spain began to discriminate against
American fiour the president was urged
to issue a proclamation which would
have stirred up a great breeze, but
again it was decided to let Spain have
time to see the error of her ways.
The power in question is contained in
the congressional meat and food inspec
tion act passed by congress Aug. 30,
1890. The act recites that whenever the
president of the United States is satis
fied that any foreign government is
making discriminations unjustly against
“‘any product of the United States,”’ food
or otherwise, in the matter of its impor
tation with that country, then he may
issue a proclamation directing that the
goods of such nation shall be excluded
altogether from entry into the United
States. This law is formidable enough
to prevent any country of Europe from
discriminating against our products.
We could stand doing without their
goods much better than they could
stand nct selling them to us.
The New York Commercial Advertis
er is one of the oldest dailies in the
United States. It was founded 98 years
ago, Oct. 2,°1797. A fact unknown to
most people is that Dr. Noah Webster,
the famous spelling book and dictionary
man, was its first editor. How he got
time to write his dictionary and speil
ing book will be a mystery toall modern
pnewspaper editors. One of the founders
of The Commercial Advertiser was the
great and handsome Alexander Hamil
ton, and Thurlow Weed was at one
time its editor. The Commercial Adver
tiser will have a hard time to live up to
the glory cast upon it by these great
names.
The true test of a great man is wheth
er a man grows greater the longer he
is dead. Measured by that, two or
three Americans will live a long time
in historic remembrance. One of them
is Abraham Lincoln. Since his death
the interest in him and everything per
taining to him was never wider or deep
er than it is today. His birthday, Feb.
12, has been made a legal holiday in Il
linois. At Gettysburg battleground the
bronze tablet erected in memory of the
dedication of the cemetery, Nov. 19,
1863, will contain a medallion portrait
of Lincoln and the complete words of
the immortal address he delivered that

Senora Candelaria, who is said to be 109
years old, is the last survivor of the Ala
mo. She was in the fort during the 12
days from Feb. 23 to March 6, 1856, when
177 Texas Americans held it against 6,000
Mexicans. Senora Candelaria asscrts that
she was supporting the head of Colonel
Bowie, who lay ill in the fort, when the
*“Mexicans rushed in and killed him and
wounded her. Her life was begun under
the dominion of Spain, and she has scen

Most Perfect Made
STORED AN EMPTY BARREL.
Nine DMonths Ina Sterage Warehouse and
Three Certages aid on It,
“I got my furniture out of storage
the ohcr oy’ said a New Yorker,
“and my wife and I thought we would
unpack the china and bric-a-brac our
selves, instead of paying 80 ccants an
hour to the storage men to do it. The
stuff was packed in five barvels, one of
which, we noticed, was lighter than
the rest
3 hen we began to unpack that one,
we conciuded that it must contain our
most iragile articles of vertm, for we
first came across a layer of excelsior and
soft papcr a foot in thickness. Below
this was auother layer, equally thick,
and when we had half unpacked the
barrel and found nothing but excelsior
and soft paper we knew not what to
think. :
«“We were still more flabbergasted on
finding no china on removing the pack
ing. We of course concluded that our
things had been stolen and reproached
ourselves for our false economy in doing
the unpacking ourselves, for it isia rule
of the storage concern we patronized not
to pay for any articles broken or miss
ing unless its men do the unpacking.
¢As we missed nothing when the oth
er barrels had been unpacked, my wifo
cudgeled her brain to explain the mys
tery. She finally remembered that when
we gave up housekeeping, 11¢ years
ago, there wasa lot of excelsior left over
'when the china had been packed. Ina
fit of economy she poked it aill in a su
‘ perflunous barrel, which was duly headed
iup and carted to the hotel where we
spent the winter. It was stored in the
garret without being unpacked, and in
the spring wassent to the storage ware
house. .
"¢““We accordingly have paid not only
for the storage for nine months of an
empty barrel, but for its cartage on three
‘ different occasions—from the house to
the hotel, from the hotel to the storage
warehouse and from the warehouse to
where we now live!”’—New York Sun.
Bringing the Dead to Life.
A variety of methods of restoring life
‘.in those apparently dead from drown
‘ing, asphyxiation, etc., have been advo
| cated, but with indifferent success.
More than ayear ago the celebrated Dr.
‘de Baun declared that ‘‘if a person dies
simply for want of breath there is ro
good reason why he should not live
again if the proper means for restoring
life are resorted to.’”’ Upon a chance pre
senting itself De Baun proceeded to
prove the truth of his assertion. A child,
apparently dead from drowning, was
brought to him with the statement that
it had been dead about 15 minutes. He
immediately passed a small rubber tube
through its nostrils, and closing the
mouth tightly proceeded to force air into
the lungs. After the lungs had been
fully inflated he released the pressure
from the mouth and found, as he had
‘expected, that the elasticity of the chest
muscles caused an immediate contrac
tion of the lungs. This contraction
formed a natural respiration, but artifi
cial inspiration was kept up for nearly
an hour, at the end of which time the
breathing was perfect and the child’s
life saved.
| Do Not Sleep on the Left Side.
There is little doubt that an imments
number of persons habitually sleep ov
;he left side, and those who do so cat:
aever, it is said, be strictly healthy. It
is the most prolific cause of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. AL
[ food enters and leaves the stomach ou
theright side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves asort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs undaly
compressed. Hence it is best to cultivate
the habit of always sleeping on the right
side, although Sandow and other stroug
men are said to invariably sleep on their
backs —Pbiladelnhia Times.
Bu;iding Creatures.
Sea anemones and some other marine
creatures of low degree increase their
species by budding. A small knot or
‘wart appearson the body of the animal,
and by and by develops into a perfect,
though minute animal of the same spe
cies, separates from its parent and sets
gp in business for itself.
A Tragic Complication.
“So you refuse me!” said Charley
Callow bitterly.
«¢Of course,’’ said the charming wid
ow. .
“Won’t you even be a sister to me?”’
“No. I'm engaged to marry your fa
ther. I’ll be a mother to you.’’—Wash
ington Star. ‘
Both Wicked.
““My husband, ’’ said the large, Seshy
lady, ‘‘has a habit of marking para
graphs in the paper that say mean
things about women.”’
““So you will not fail to see themwm.
eh? Still that is not as mean a trick as
mine plays. He cuts them all ocut.
Then I have to get another paper only
to find that 1 have been fooled again.”
-—lndianapolis Journal.

Amateur Sportsman— Yoar beaters are
uncommonly stout. I have noticed the

Head Gamekeeper— At ordinary times
