- A Missourian has paid $2600 for an
fllinois pig. These neighborly bar
gains in which both sides make money
and farm science is advanced are to be
warmly commended observes the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
“We must remember,” says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, “that no one is whol
ly good and no one is wholly bad.”
The human mind is so constituted, re
torts the Louisville Courier Journal,
that it is no trouble to remember the
first part.
When a stoker on an ocean steamer
is operated on for appendicitis the ail
ment would geem to have reached its
utter impossibility for fashionable
folk, thinks the New York Evening
Post, were it not for the absolutely ex
clusive circumstances—a raging sea
and a tossing ship—amidst which the
operation was performed.
The new white marble agricultural
building, at Washington, costing one
and a half million dollars is complete
and occupied, and yet more room is
needed, pleads the Indiana Farmer,
and a bill for $1,750,000 more for an ex
tension of the building has been intro
duced. Agriculture is our greatest in
dustry and ought to be most liberally
endowed,
Among the homeless human beings
who crawl at night Into areaways or
under trucks, who overcrowd the mu
nicipal lodging houses and who even
throng the morgue for shelter, hardly
any women are found, affirms the New
York World. What has become of all
the women of the families of these
men, of the mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters? On what do they subsist?
Where do they find shelter? What
-fi.‘.{{lo suffragette is the woman suffra
glst who is convinced that the periods
of words and grass are past, and that
it is time to try the virtue of throwing
stones, defines the New Haven Regls
ter, The suffragette has the spirit of
the old martyrs, lacking, frequently,
their sanctified common sense. She
storms, gregariously, the houses of
commons and the seats of the mighty.
She marches in the streets, she uses
Carrie Nation methods, she gets ar
rested. Thus is she a martyr, though
how she helps her cause toward any
practical goai it is difficult to discern,
The decision of a New York judge,
that women not guests of a hotel nor
attended by men as escorts may be ex
cluded from certain dining rooms of
the hotel, will be received with com
mendation wherever the “rights” ques
tion has not superseded the finer ques
tions of refinement and propriety. The
exclusion is primarily in the interests
of women themselves argues the Hart
ford Courant. The attempt of recog
nized leaders in the various masculine
“causes” that some women advocate
to force a decision of this matter has
met a very proper conclusion, The
court in effect tells them that there
are things that men can do that
women cannot do; that here is a fun
damental difference in the positions of
the sexes in society.
‘lt is quite well known, opines the
Pittsburg Despatch, the Carlisle Indian
School was established after very care
ful study of the problem by persons
who hadl “But the one purpose, to help
the Indlafi: That school was long con
ducted by Captain Pratt and his wife,
who understood the Indian question as
a result of years of patient study. The
school has turned out hundreds of use
ful graduates, has made of its Indians
useful citizens, capable of bearing thelr
share of the burden of a progressive
ciyllization. There is no record of a
ngglqle Indian returning to his ab
original . ways; the percentage of fall
ures among its alumni is less than that
of the average college for whites.

Important Prohibition Decision.
A sharp distinction is drawn by the
state court of appeals in a deeision
handed down a few days ago in the
case of Dr, E. M, Roberts of Atlanta
against the state between a “public
place of businegs” and a “private place
of business,” as meant by the prohibi
tion law.
The court holds, in substance, that
a room used solely for the purpose
of storage, which is kept locked, to
which the public are not invited, and
from which the public are excluded,
and in which no business is transact
ed, is not a “place of business” in the
sense of the prohibition statute.
In the decision written by Presiding
Judge Hill and concurred in by his
associates, Judge Calhoun of the city
court of Atlanta is reversed in holding
for a conviction in the case of Dr. Rob
erts, who kept stored in his private
warehouse in Courtland street many
kegs of beer, used in the manufacture
of a prohibition drink.

RIOT IN PENSACOLA,
Advent of Strike-Breakers to Take the
Places of Union Street Car Men
Causes Trouble.
- The bringing 'of a car load of strike
breakers to Pensacola, Fla. from St.
Louis Friday afternoon by the Pensa
cola Electric Company was the signaf
for rioting and disorder such as has
not been experienced in t4at city in
twenty years.
No sooner had the strike breakers
arrived and started from the union
depot for the car she2ds than a fight
occurred between them and the sym
pathizers of the unicn men, and frem
the corner of Palafox and Wright
streets, where the first battle occurred,
there was a continual riot, in whicn
bricks, bottles and shells were hurled
at the strlke'breakers, and in turn the
latter fired shots, used heavy sticks
and bricks.
For over an hour the riot continued,
the strike breakerg gradually getting
nearer to the car barns; but before
they reached there about a dozen had
been wounded and were picked up on
the streets where they were left by
sympathizers of the strikers.
When near the car barns, so fierce
was the onslaught on the body of im
ported men that ‘miey separated and
fled, thirty running into a negro house,
while the remainder reached the car
barn and barricaded the docors. There
they remained during tae night with
friends of strikers surrounding them.
The thirty men who gained the mnezro
house barricaded the doors, and it took
the police over an hour to disperse the
mob and remove the men to places of
safety,
The riot occurred so suddenly that
the detail of police, headed by Chief
Saunders, was powarless for some time
to quell the disturbance.
At 10 p. m. the mayor issued a
proclamation ordering all saloons
closed. The board of public safety or
dered the marshal to swear in a suffi
cient number of deputies to quell any
further disturbance,
