Some men are born politicians, some achieve political fame, and some]have offices thrust upon them. The first and last classes are not as numerous as great many suppose, or as a great many would have us suppose. Politics is hard work, and the successful, and often theunsuccess- ful, politician does an amount of rustleing around that would sur prise and discourage those who think politics an easy and genteel way of making a living. The pol itician has got to know everybody and all his relatives, and who are his friends and enemies. He has got to know Jim Jones’pet weak ness, and Bill Smith’s sore spot. He has to have a memory longer than the oldest inhabitant. He has to know when to be silent and when to speak. Has to learn to tell a lie so that it will have the appearance of the solemn truth, and with all these acquirements he Washington Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.

Tou may think you know all about it when you goto bed, and next morn ing yon may even doubt your own identity. Politics is a good deal like chemicals—let an unknown quantity get mixed up in them and there’s apt to be an explosion that knocks all your carefully pre pared plans into a chaotic ruiu. Politics as discussed in a corner grocery is an innocent and aes thetic amusement; but politics as practiced by a professional, has in it all the elements of a dynamite bomb, and is so akin to crime that it hugs the outside walls of the penitentiary. The man who goes into politics and stays there any length of time of necessity becomes something of a philosopher. He learns that the country will not be totally rained if his candidate is not suc cessful, and .there will be so little change that in a few months the people will forget that there has ever been any election. He learns by sad experience that the election of his candidate is of little pecuni ary profit to him, and that an office holder has a wonderfully short momory. He learns to accept de feat gracefully, and does not fool away his time abusing the voters after an election. In short, he learns to look upon politics as a game that two can play at. And when he gets into that happy frame of mind, he is the most hap py of beings. The Philosopher. £|The slot machine, which has re cently had such a run in all catch penny schemes, was known and used by the Egyptians centuries before the opening of the Christ ian era. Hero of Alexandria, who lived 200 years before the time of Christ, describes one used for the dispensation of holy water. A coin of 5 drachmae dropped into a slot in a vase opened a valve in a vase which permitted a few drops of the purifying liquid to escape. Surely there is nothing new un der the sun. American countries. This is a signal victory, for Mr. Blaine, and shows that he has played his cards well. Indeed, it makes the plumed knight the chief of the republican party,and throws Reed and McKinly to the rear, [t means McKinly’s death as a presi dential possibility for ’92,for Mr. Blaine steps in as the great tariff leader. It makes himself a great man in his party again. McKinly must run for governor of Ohio, -nd reclaim the state from Campbell, Reed will make a great kick against the deal between the secretary and his little president. He, with Mc Kinly as his lieutenant, will make an effort to defeat the reciprocity amendment in the house,bat if they fail to get their followers together, and the chances are they will, then the tyrant and McKinly will have to grin and bear it. It means re pudiation of their methods, but even Tom Reed has not the nerve to make war on the president, the cabinet and the senate combined. Thus Blaine and reciprocity are on top. The great Maine republi can has won in this battle, and he is going to win in another. That fight will be against the force bill. • With Blaine’s present standing in the party, even if there were no other forces against the election bill, he would probably defeat it. As it is now, almost certain death awaits the force and fraud bill. The best politicians in the re publican party, led -by “Boss” Quay, are How making war on this measure, for within the last few days letters have been received from the great manufacturing firms in the north, who have heretofore “put up” liberally when called up on by Quay’s committee, stating that if the force bill passes they will never contribute another cent toward republican success. It was The Constitution’s protest that caused the writing of these letters, and, almost directly, that protest will kill the bill. Even Harrison is said to be weakening, for he sees both the brains and the money of his party are opposed to such a bill. Indeed, it is believed that within the next ten days he will give his consent to the senate’s postponing consid eration of the bill until the next session, and from the present out look that will probably be the re sult. Of coarse that means the death of the force bill. If it is not pass ed this session, it will never pass. Blaine is truly a great man. He is almost good enough to be a dem- crat. sues, of state issues and of local is sues. Touching national measures the selfishnes of extreme partisans is prominent to every unpreju diced mind. Partisan measures looking to party supremacy are framed, advocated and pressed in the halls of the national congress, while the general good is left in the back ground, and relegated to the shades of after considera tion. Financial measures emanating from national legislation are in force to-day that keep the noses of of our working people bound to the grindstone of poverty,. and ihese measures are but the fruit of that sordid spirit that looks not be yond the limited circle of self ag grandizement. These cormorants, who are.tbus self feeders from the national treasury,look only on that side of these financial measures that panders to their monied inter ests, and regard not the burden and oppression that come to oth ers. Indeed is it not becoming more aDd more apparent that much of oar national legislation is the fruit of-the highest bidding? If so,it is not true that individual self ishness, which looks only on one side, is at]the bottom of it? Like wise, is not the same spirit more or less observable when and where state questions and state issues are being considered? And in this manner is not the general good often defeated? Now, we take the position that whenever public questions and public issues are under discussion, both sides of these issues should be thoroughly considered.and ana lytically sifted, and when if is as certained by such consideration what line of policy will work the greatest good to the greatest num ber, that line of policy should be adopted and pursued, an! let fa vorites and favored classes share under its operations. And that citizen, who, in the capacity of a public servant, is actuated by.self fishness, and who cannot and will not devote his ability, his energy and efforts to promote that which is best for all the people, is not the patriot whom the people should call to serve them. Hence in dis cussing public issues, let us exam ine both sides and get ont of them that which is best for all. The First Step.

A weak man may excite their sympalhy, and a woman’s careful tenderness soothe and soften the anguish of a weak man’s soul, but the laughing, joyous, warm, exuberant love of women belongs to men that are strong, noble and kind. JThen why ] will a man continue weak, mean and peevish. An old gentleman writes: “B. B. B. gives me new life and strength. If there is anthing that will make an old man young, it is B. B.

Contagious Blood Diseases The horror of blood diseases is the fact that they are contagious. Eczema, Saltrheum, Itch, and oth er skin diseases may" be contract ed by using the same towel, and thus it frequently happens that a whole family becomes effected with the disease some member has contracted elsewhere. It is obvi ously the sacred doty of anyone who suffers with a blood disease to rid themselves of this impurity. This can easily and quickly be done by using Dr. Bull’s Sarsapa rilla, the only perfectly safe and complete blood purifier in the world. Its virtue is exclusively its own, and no other medicine can compare with it in strength or effi cacy. Any druggist will get it for yon. Take no other. Observe its size and test it virtue.—Washing ton Observer. SAvamiah Morning News. Senator Call’s farmers’ bank scheme is a rather novel one. It is the sub-treasury plan in another form, only on a more extensive scale; but it is not called a sub treasury plan. Senator Call’s plan is in the nature of an amendment to the national banking law, “so as to provide relief for farmers.” The sub-treasury plan would be limited to one warehouse • for each county, but on the basis of the Call plan there could be quite a number of national banks in a county. All that it is necessary to do to estab lish a bank by this plan is to ware house 8100,000 worth of "• non-per ishable farm products, subscribe for 850,000 capital stock, and get a national bank charter. The farm product bank would be empowered to discount notes secured by ware house certifiicates of cotton, corn, orts, barley, and so on, to the ex tent of 80 per cent, of the market value of such articles. The benevolent features of the plan are more clearly brought out in the provision requiring the con troller, on satisfactory proof fur nished him by any bank organized under the provisions of the act that warehouse certificates fornon- perishabe farm products have been or will be deposited as security for the promissory notes of the per sons who produced or who own the farm products, to deliver to the bank treasury notes to the amount of $2 for every dollar in gold or silver held on deposit in the treas ury for such bank, which treasury notes can be used only to uisconnt notes secured by warehouse certifi cates of the deposit of non-perish able farm products. Banks organized under the pro visions of this act may,at any time, on depositing mortgages on real estate which have been approved by the controller of the currency, or bonds or interest paying Securi ties of the United States, or any of the states, or cities,or counties, ap proved by the Secretary of the Treasury, receive treasury notes to the extent of 82 for 81 of the gold and silver belonging to such bank in the United States treasury. Senator Call does not claim cred it for the bill. There is good rea son to believe that-, like the sub- treasury plan, it is an alliance measure,and was introduced at the request of those alliancemen who think the sub-treasury plan would require the combination of too much capital in the shape of farm products. They, therefore, pro pose this amendment to the bank ing bill. It is hardly probable that it will prove as acceptable as the sub-treasury plan.

An old dealer says the most aggravating feature of the nibbling practice is that a majority of the nibblersare not regular custom ers, the profits on whose trade might palliate an occasional tak ing of a bit of this, or a bit of that without payment, but generally a spasmodic purchaser who, buying some article of small value, yield ing a trifling profit, will scoop up a handful of prunes, crackers, figs or dates—more than enough to take off the profit of his purchase. If people who are guilty of this unmannerly impertinence would stop a moment to consider, they would admit that their wrong do ing is as actual as though they took a nickle or a dime out of the gro cer’s till These people act in a grocery store in a manner to make the observant wayfarer think they were brought up in a saloon, where they became accustomed to the habit of nibbling. “I thought yon were one of i those who looked upon old. age cheerfully, and welcomed it as a season of peace and contented eu- joyment.” I am one of those who so regard it.

The melancholy of old age has a divine tenderness in it, which only the sad experience of life can lend a human soul. But there is a low er level—that of tranquil content ment and easy acquiescence in the conditions in which we find our selves; a lower level in which old age trudges patiently when not using its wings. I say its vangs, for no period of life is so imagina tive as that which looks' to yonng- er people-the most - prosaic.

A wife went to a dervish for a charm that would cure her husband of his very bad temper. She told the wise man that they disagreed daily, and that in the end he al ways flew into passion and beat her, though at other times he was fond and kind. The wise man took from his bundle a full bottle and gave it to the woman, saying: “Here is a charmed liquid. The minnte you see signs of anger in your husband, fill yonr month with it, and be careful to hold it there untill the last trace of ill-temper has disappeared. On no account must you swallow or lose one drop of it. "When this is gone come to me for more.” - A month later the woman came back, all smiles and thanks, with a great gold piece to exchange for more of the precious liquor. “Father,” she said, “1 would not be without your charm for my life. The moment my husband begins to fret I run and fill my month. All that I have will I give you for the precious water.” The dervish smiled, and said: “My daughter, the charmed liquid was only water. Go yon to the well and fill your bottle when yon will. The only charm is silence. You could not talk back; and in all my experience, it has taken two to make a quarrel.” in a direction a little south and east, is, perhaps, the greatest for est region in the world. A part of it strikes south of the Congo, at the great northern bend of the river, and the country embraced within the big curve is covered witli a compact forest, shutting out a large part of the sunlight. In these Jorests, completely shut out from the rest of the world, live hundreds of thousands of people who are almost unknown to the tribes living in the savanna regions outside. Scattered through the big woods within the Congo bend are little communities, of Batwa dwarfs, of whose existence the traveller has no inkling until he suddenly comes upon them. Here also along the Sakuru river are the tree habitations described by Dr. Wolf, where the ' natives live in huts built among the branches of the trees to escape the river floods. It was in- great clearings made in these forests that Knnd and Tappenbeck discovered some of the most notable villages yet found in Africa, where well-built huts, with gabled roofs, lined both sides of a neatly kept street that stretches away for eight of nine miles. These villages are even more interesting than the street towns in the more sparsely tim bered regions south of them, which were regarded as very wonderful when they were first discovered by Wissmann.

When this older lighthouse was bnilt it was on the marge of the sea. The existing structure was, as the inscription sets forth, built one hundred yards from the wa ter’s edge.
