Pretty fair wages for a common man! Those bandits out west who held up a train last week and only secured $5 in cash, and were after¬ wards captured, have probably de¬ cided that honesty is the best pol¬ icy. If it had been $5,000 they stole, they might have cleared themselves, but a lawyer wont no¬ tice them for $5. The Omaha World-Herald starts the collection of a national dem¬ ocratic campaign fund with the declaration that practically all the money is arrayed on the republi¬ can side. If this is true, it is a mistake to tell it for the people always have a weakness for going where the money is, and the an¬ nouncement might hurt us. Atlanta is keeping up her rec¬ ord for sensations. The latest is the appointment of a committee from the board of ccuncilmen to investigate the immoral conduct of the new mayor. There seemB to be a plain open-and-shut case’ against him, and it is said that he agreed to sign a confession and promised to do better it the coun vm —-M accept it. A reporter for the News recent¬ ly interviewed Col, Lester on polit¬ ical questions The Colonel re¬ fuses to predict which will bo the leading issue cf the next campaign, free silver or expansion, but re¬ marks that “it is not worth while to say as much about silver as was done the last time. It was unnecessary then, for that matter.” Now, Colonel, den't talk too much ahout the comiug issues, for you don’t know what may be popular next year, and you must be ou the big side, you know. Some of the papers are intimat¬ ing that Bryan is getting tangled up on the Philippine question and has changed position lately. Well, you couldn’t expect him to “guard his p’s and q’s” constantly on that question—even a smart man is liable to “get off his kerzip” on that—but tackle him on finances and he never slips nor varies. That is one question he is master of, and it really makes little difference whether a man is consistent on any others so he has something well iu hand to dazzle the public with. Speaking of romantic elope¬ ments, one is reported in the papers of a recently married young man who became infatuated with a young lady writer of sweetly-flow¬ ing verses. She wrote under a pom de plume, and the young man addressed her in care of the publication in which the verses appeared, congratulating her ou her poetic ability. She thanked Jiim for his kind words and a cor raspondence ensued. Be it re¬ membered that he was a married man, but he loved the fair young stranger so well that he proposed an elopement. The lady met him at the appointed time and they took the first outgoing train. Im¬ agine, then, his chagrin when, after going forty fair miles to the nearest town, the young poet lifted the veil which had Concealed her face and he beheld—his wife! He has never eloped since. A boat flothen-io«Law. Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, is writer. one fhe” iTet'S there.” He takes up any subject and brings something interesting out of it, and along with his wit ticisms he invariably rings in some hard hunks of sense. One of his latest subjects is mothers-in-laws, which he handles iu his usual clear style. That is, he handles the subject, but when it comes to the real live article of a mother-in-law it may be dif¬ ferent—sbe may do the handling instead. He he has had great charity for the mistakes of Adam, because he had no moth¬ er-in-law to curb him. If she had been there, the forbidden fruit would not have been eaten. All the world would now be paradise; the women would still be dressing in sunshine, and the men would still be clad iu climate. All the ills we now endure are the fruits of sin; all siu is the outgrowth of the first transgression, and the first transgression was committed because there was no mother-in law in Eden to forbid it. Satan would have kept his distance if Adam had been a son-in-law; and even after man had fallen, the Lord saw that he was prone to fall still lower, and so he provided the third person, singular, and named her “mother-in-law,” to be his guardian angel and watch him by day and night. “It has been the habit of mali¬ cious man from time immemorial to speak disrespectfully of the dear old spectacled angels, and to refer to them as the embodiment of tyranny and the personification of terror. * “I once heard of a man who said that his principal possessions in fcui* were au a pp e tite and a mother-in-law, and that lie had never been able to satisfy either. “I ba/e frequently heard it said of sad and subdued-looking men, as i have passed along iu life, that they were suffering with a bad case of mother-in-law. . “All this abuse and all these vicious attacks on the mothers of our wives are mean and contempt¬ ible, and a direct reflection upon our wives themslves. The sweetest and purest and best woman I ever saw, except my mother and my wife, is my mother-in-law. Her life has been a sacrifice to the happiness and comfort cf her chil¬ dren, and so it is with most moth ers-m-law. In nine cases out of ten it could be appropriately and truthfully said that she is suffer¬ ing from a bad case of son-in-law. It a man is unkind, or even neglect¬ ful to his wife, he is pretty sure to hear from his motber-in-law; that is right. If he fails to provide for his family she has a right to look at him over the tops of her specta¬ cles and make the king’s English crack like a cowhide around his ears; if he wantonly spends his evenings away from his own fire side and comes home with snakes in his boots, she has a right to “stick her nose iu his business” and her fist in his face, and it is her divine right to “law down the law” to him. “1 he mother-in-law is the con servator of peace, and not a dis turber, as many bad men would make it appear. She is the God dese of Liberty enlightening the little world within the four walls of home; she is the Minerva of the hearthstone; Jove is enthroned upon her brow, and the Furies sleep in tier eyes. Woe betide the son-in-law who transgresses the law of Jove! for then the righteous Furies wake and leap like forLed lightnings into the face of the transgressor, and he is left in the condition of the man who went out west. News came back to his dead.” The : “Your son 19 old man telegraphed immediately, “Send me hie remains;” and re who does ^ his “But to the man faithful duty to his family, his country and Ins God, the mo.her in-law is a “thing of beauty and a j 0 y forever.” She nurses his chil dren and cares for them ; she stays with them at night while he and it is wife are at the party, she nurses him when lie i 9 sick and makes him swallow his medicine one one time, time and ana cuts cuts off on all au iuum eommu nication with the OUt-lde world till hr is well again, If his credi tors become too numerous and annoying, she stands guard at the d >or and hedges it about with fire and briinstome. “Th m let us cherish onr mother ill-law and bo tender with her; let husband , fall , , at her , feet, - . and 1 every shout: “Great is Diana of the Enhesiansl” Let US give her praise and honor and glory, for in dealing with her “discretion is the , better part Of valor.” “My advice to every bachelor is to get mother-in-law; . . , and i to a every widower to get two in-law, lake up the white mans burden, old boys; take up the white mans’ burden; join thehap band , 1 . , benedicts ,. . and , , learn , 10 ^ py ot sing sweet lullabies and.

In it there is a story entitled “A Mes¬ sage to Garcia,” which is taken as as cue for the delivery ol some wholesome gospel truth to young men dependent upon their labor for a likelihood. ' When war broke out between the United States and Spain there was great need to communicate with Gen. Garcia, of the Cuban forces. He was away in the moun¬ tain fastness of Cuba—no one knew where. To get at him was a well-nigh impossible undertaking, and required a man of nerve and shrewdness to do it. Some one told the President, “There’s a fel¬ low by the name of Rowan who will find him for you, if anybody can,” Rowan was called in and the mission explained to him. He took the letter, sealed it iii an oil skin pouch, strapped it over his heart and iu four days landed by night off th ? coast of Cuba in an open boat and disappearjd in the jungle. Ill three weeks he came out on the other side of the island, having traversed a hostile country on foot aud delivered his letter to Garcia, When Rowan took the letter for Garcia, he never asked “Where is he at?” He went to find him. The writer of the booklet referred to, adds “there is a man whose form should be cast iu deathless oronze and the statue placed in every college of the laud. It is not oook-ieprmng young men need, nor instructions about this and that, but a stiffening of the veyte bree which will danse them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies-—do the thing! “One hears much maudlin sym- pathy expressed for the down trodden laborers and the homeless wanderers searching for honest, ilTel plover who grows old before his time in a vain attempt to find help like Rowan — who goes ahead like he meant to accomplish, his task. man who, when given a mis sion, quietly takes it w i*hout pr> - ing into employoi s motives >) asking impertinent questions, and with no lurking deteimunition to shirk at the first opportunity, has never been “laid off,” nor had to 8° ona Strik, I , r higher g wa^es » ’ That is the kind of men the world is looking for.
