His Chances bn Railroad Street.
Written for the Home Joubbal.
A round of the fates to-day I will make
To Bee if there is in stor^for me a happy
Down Railroad street I will go, [fate.
From house to house, from door to door,
Here’s Bateman’s gate—111 pass her by;
The bait’s not out, so there’s no use to cry.
She’ll not be bn the carpet for a year or
more,
So I’ll knock albng away from his door.
Ault man to wait at his neighbor’s gate
And wait for years and look to fate
To see a babe into womanhood grow;
To teach her to love him and then, get
“no?”
At the next, listen to my pleadings,
Du-Pree;
Put it not off till a more convenient day,
For of all the places in this old town
This is the last I’d like to be downed.
The nex t on the line is the preacher’s gate,
Bat os I’ve no desire for a holy mate,
I’ll move on to seek other pleasures and
joys
And stop at the next in spite of the Hol-
le-man boys.
Here I’ll look for a nice, grassy spot,
For this I believe fate has ordained as
-my lot,
And Buskin’ in the sunlight of her smiles
I’ll stay
Till the dogs are called to drive me away.
As my Craw-fords no more sand for di
gestion,
I’ll turn right around in another direction.
My heart in leaving, unsubdued, seems
to say,
Yo’ve miesed a chance you’ll regret till
your dying day.
Hardi(er)aons than X have tried of Vin-
(i)son to partake,
But to their discomfort found it harder
than slate.
So what’s the use for this “Bird” to try
When others have tried it only to die?
At this rate I see I’ll soon be a Walker,
Already I have gained my“rep” as atalker.
Bnt to persist against one without a sin
gle hair,
I’d take the risk of the children who were
eaten by a bear.
Ev-an so, as I thought in passing by,
West is the direction for me to fly.
Things look Mulkey* so Til pull up my
stake,
For Tumplin is coming, although he is
late.
The King is royally entertained
By one who makes it his home in the
main.
It’s Bobby, and they say Eze-11—
If I can jnst get by I’li think I did well.
All’s fair in Warr-en love they say;
Bnt “this” ain’t hankering after making
it that way,
As I am in a Peavy(ish) state of mind
And that man from Walden is right on
behind.
I’ll hurry along with rapid stride
And give up my chances at present for a
bride,
And into the “shack” myself I’ll take,
There to weep and bemoan my sad fate.
And now for Borne bashful youth I will
state,
Some future day on another street Til
try my fate,
And if things seem to come more-in my
way,
Then perhaps something more I’ll have
to say. M. B.

Determining Water.
The work of stream measure
ments by the United States Geo
logical Survey is an important el
ement in building up the manu
facturing industries of the Booth,
more especially since it has been
found practicable ,by electrical
transmission to concentrate the
power furnished by small streams,
at a point suitable for a factory
site. Capital, however, is slow to
ventnre until it knows from nndis-
pntable authority what the capaci
ties of streams are, and that they
are not liable to run dry or low. at
the critical time when power may
be most needed. Iu this way the
stream measnrements of the gov
ernment, covering a period of
years, are extremely valuable, fur
nishing an accurate basis npon
which to estimate power. An ap
propriation of $20,000 was secured
early in the last session of con
gress for the carrying on of this
work up to July 1st, aud just prior
to the adjournment an appropria
tion of $100,000 was obtained, very
largely through the vigorous ef
forts and co-operation of southern
represenatives and senators.

Cotton for Wool."
New York Sun.
Our consul at Edinburgh writes
that the working women of Scot
land and north England have re
cently began to show a marked
preference for woolen instead of
cotton dress goods. In that cli
mate wool may be comfortably
worn the year round, bat cotton
fabrics have always been popular
and no one has satisfactorily ex
plained why the taste of a majority
of purchasers has turned to wool
ens. Some merchants attribute the
present preference to the fact that
woolen goods may be worn long
without washing while cotton
dresses require frequent launder
ing. Wholesale dealers ara at last
wide awake to the fact that they
cannot get rid of their cotton
cloths, and there is a greatly en
larged demand for coarse and
cheap woolens.
This episode in the British
trade-may be merely the result of
a temporary caprice, but it is the
latest illustration of the fact that
there is always rivalry among the
four great textiles, cotton, wool,
silk and linen and that the
market (or oue affects that for
the others. Over a year ago there
was a rise iu the price of wuoleus
in Great Britain and an advance
in cotton was expected unless there
was an unusually great product
ADd a consequent glut in the mar
ket. The predicted rise in cottons
occurred last fall.
Silk wasoncea lare manufacture
iu Great Britain, but it has declin
ed greatly in importance since the
vast development of .woolen and
cotton mills. Even this costly
textile, which is worth $6 a pound
as it comes from the cocoon, feels
the effects of important changes
in the production and prices of
wool ami cotton. One of the causes
assigned for the large decline in
the flax industry of Ireland is the
cotton invasion of the flax markets.
The same rivalry and interde
pendence is also observed among
the textiles of lesser importance.
We see to-day, for example, that
jnte is not now so essential in the
American market as it once was,
for it has been largely replaced by
Yucatan henneqain for bagging,
cotton baling' and other purposes.
But cotton- is still king of them
all. British working women may
favor the claims of its great rival,
wool, as much as they please, but
they cannot dethrone the glorious
American product. Five times as
much cotton is now consumed in
clothing the 'world as was used iD
the early part of the century, and
itr progress is still steady and tri
umphant.

St Louis Republic.
It was an interesting coincidence
that the very-day the Republicans
of the House were putting forward
their anti trust bluff the real Be-
puolicau leaders were showing the
party’s true position over-in the
Senate. The spectacle of Senator
Hanna and his able lieutenant,
Senator Elkins, defending with all
the vigor at tbeir coipmand the
Arm >r-piate Trast, whose “hold
up” of the Government has been
so notorious as to call forth the
protest of many honest Bebubli-
cans, was a highly interesting ob
ject Ipsson, which the people of the
country will not forget.
The absolute subservience of
-this administration in all its for
eign relatious to the wishes .of
Great Britain was beantifullv il-
lastrated iu that “triumph of di
plomacy,” the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, and iu the failtfr-e of this
Government to speak even one
word in behalf of the sturdy farm
ers in South Africa straggling for
their independence.
It is the first time in the histo
ry of this Government that the
people of the United States have
not been allowed to speak for free
dom and independence which
Americans have ever held to be
the right of all people.
The republicans will hear in this
campaign of their refusal to allow
the passage of the. bilk providing
for the construction of an Ameri
can trans-isthmian canal. This,
bov/ever, is in direct line with the
position of the administration on
all -foreign questions. The repub
licao party seems to be opposed to
every principle of American gov
ernment—to favor trusts as the
surest means of raising campaign
funds with which they expect to
control elections, and to favor a
large standing army as a means of
compelling the people to submit to
their parposes.
The people are conservative.
They will suffer great evils with
out turning upon their oppressors
Bat there is a limit to their endu
rance and that point has, in my
opinion, been reached. A great
campaign fund, while it may de
bauch the weak, will utterly fail
to control the whole people.
'
Revenue from the War Tax.
Atlanta Constitution.
Many inquiries have been made
during the past few mouths cod
cerning the amount of'revenue
which has been raised by the gov
ernment since the war tax went
into effect two years ago.
From official data which has re
cently come to hand we are ena
bled to furnish this information in
part.
Covering the period of time ex
tending from June i3, 1898, to
March 31, 1900, the amount of rev
enue collected under the operation
of the war tax aggregated $183,
405,292 or nearly $2.50 per capita.
This large snm of money which
the government has employed in
meeting the obligations imposed
npon it by recent hostilities has
been derived from the following
sources: Documentary stamps, $1
781,776; fermented liquors, $5
936,631; tobacco, $27,070,113; pro
prietary stamps, $8,693,881; bank
ing establishments, $6,066,155; ci
gars, $5,202,691, aud cigarettes,
$1,631,281.
While the war tax has not rest
ed heavily upon individual taxpay
ers, the amount of revenue collect
ed under the operations shows the
enormous resources of the nation.
Two years ago Louis Patnaud
resigned his position as assistant
postmaster at Everett, Wash*, to
try his fortune in the Klondike.
Three of his friends made np $400
as a “grubstake” for him. No word
came from the recipient uuHl he
returned to .Everett a week ago,
when he divided $11,000 among
the three friends who had helped
him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they can-
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafuess, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed deafness is the
result,and unless the inflammation
can be taken ont and this tube re
stored to its normal condition,hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the -m neons
surfaces.
