ROMANCE OF A PAIR OF STOCKINGS. Apa-
per in Jacksonville, ILL.,, has a romance Of a
pair of stockings: ''There is very respecta-
BILE lady now living in this county, not a doz-
en- miles from this city, who has a pair of
stockings that her father bought in Spring
field, Ill, for her to be married in She, her
sister-in-law and four of her daughters, were
all married in the self-same pair Of stockings
She has beautiful and blooming unmarried
daughter who declares that she, too, will
stand as bride in the same dear old stock
ings, provided she gets married before the
death of her mother, who, by the way, is care
fully preserving them to be buried in. The
lady says this is the only pair Of stockings she
ever had that We're bought from a store.
She also says that she has raised the cotton,
carded, spun and knit all the stockings for
herself, her husband and all their children.
That pair Of stockings cost one dollar and
thirty cents forty years ago"

The NATIONS THAT EAT MOST The ruling
people of the world, who have from time to
time shaped the destiny of humanity, have al
WAYS so far as can be ascertained, been lib
eral feeders. This remark applies, of course,
only to the ruling classes in these nationali-
ties, and not to the slave or peasant class,
who lived with them, but were not of them.
But of the patrician or governing orders OF
society-the leaders of the world in lcgisla-
ton, in war, in commerce, in science and
lterature-it is pre-cminently true. The
dominant classes among the Babylonians, the
Persians, and especially the Romans, were
free and luxurious in their habits of eating,
although, in those days, there was less vari-
ETY. of food than at present. OF the Romans
it has been said, that no people We're ever SC
devoted to the pleasures of the table
Among modern nations the greatest eaters
are the English, the Germans, the French
and the Americans the ruling people of oul
civilization. The diet of the Spaniarls ant
Italians is notably less substantial than thai
of the English and Germans, just as thei
brains are less active and original. Tn,
Americans are, on the average the creates
eaters in the world. Said Carlyle to Emerson

that in it a man could have meat for his In

THE FREE COLLEGE AND THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION. When the new Board of Educa-
ton succeeded the old Board many persons
were amused, alarmed and disguised at the
speech of one Of the representatives Of the So
called Citizens Association, advocating the
sweeping away of all higher education. At
last the blow is about to fall. At a meeting of
the Board to be held to-day the same repre-
sentatives of the Citizens Association will at
tempt to remove the classics from the course
Of studies at the Free College. These studies
are at present optional, and no student pur-
sues them without the expressed wish of his
parents. We have never advocated an over
dose of the classics, but we maintain that every
poor man should have at least the chance of
obtaining for his sons the American patent of
nobility-the college degree. As arguments
for the classics we may briefly allude to their
influence In correcting prejudices by bringing
the mind in contact with customs, religion and
civilization entirely opposed to our own ; their
great Importance in developing the memory,
reason, judgment and some other faculties to
degree. which no other branch of study can,
and their general effect In producing what We
call mental culture.

THE TENEMENT HOUSES. The mortality in
the tenement houses Of one of the three
districts which the Board of Health marks on
the map Of the city was last year eighty three
per cent Of the mortality Of the whole district
Yet the condition OF the people in that district
is described as VASTLY superior" to the con-
dition Of the people in another Of the three
districts, and their sanitary wants are said to
be such as may readily be met by remedy OF
the merely architectural mistakes that prevail
TO great extent in the dwellings of the hum
bier classes" Here Is a grand r6le for the

NAPOLEON AS AN AGIrAroR R-The official
journal of Paris says that the Emperor Napo-
leon had accurate knowledge of every fact re-
lative to the inception Of the late disturb
ances previous to the elections, and knew very
well what was to take place in the city. If so,
it was his duty, as head of the executive, to
prevent the sad results by an immediate arrest
of the parties implicated in the plot. 1t may
be- however, that he wished for little out
break as an excuse for an exhibition Of claw
and order" imperialism. Lord Castlereagh
said that the union Of Ireland to England
could not have been carried but for the Irish
rebellion of 1898, and that he knew all about
that event beforehand

CUBA.-Our government has recognized the
revolution in Spain, and where does it find in
Cuba the government that rules subordinately
to the one it recognizes in Spain9 Can Mr..
Fish tell us? An that we can see in Cuba is
that there are two organizations in revolt
against the government Of Spain. One revolts
in reactionary sense and in favor Of Isa-
bella; the other revolts In favor of greater
freedom than Spain will allow. Our duty is to
recognize the one that Is most in sympathy
with us and that best respects all our rights.
We must acknowledge the free government OF
Cuba.

RErIENCHMENT IN THE PUBLIC OFFICES AT
WAsHrNGToN.-H is intimated that General
Rawlins, the Secretary Of War, in his order for
the dismissal Of large batch of clerks In the
War Department, was acting under the in
nuence of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and with view to put others in the place
of the dismissed clerks. We hope this is
not the case. We hope General Rawlins
will not be made the tool of these bitter
and proscriptivc military partisans. We
hope he is acting for the public good
and really intends TO make sweeping rc-
treucbment In his department. AS to the
cry Of these dismissed clerks about being
thrown out Of employment and their sufferings,
that is all out of the question. Let them go
to work at something else. There Is plenty of
employment In this country. The government
was not instituted to support an army Of
paupcrs. At least half the clerks in tho
various departments in Washington are un-
necessary and could be dispensed with and
vast saving made In the expenditures. We
hope all the other secretaries will reduce their
clerical force TO the lowest number This 10

REVISING THE TARIFF LAws.-By our Wash
ington letter in another column 1t will be seen
what pretty little excursion certain of the
peoples representatives have arranged for
themselves, at the peoples expense. They
have q rowing commission to inquire into the
state Of the tariff laws. This entities them TO
visit all the cities of the country and hear
what people have to say about the laws and
see how the laws apply. and, of course, no
one would desire that Congressman should
suffer In the public interest by stopping at
second class hotels. As there are some per-
sons in Europe whose opinions on the tariff
may be worth having, one member crosses the
Atlantic. All the rest are just now revising
the tariff laws" In the Rocky Mountains ON
their wag to California. Truly, these are self
sacrificing men, who are not content to stop
working when Congress adjourns, but carry
their devotion to the nation through the whole
year.

Great Men and tho Press-The New Ern.
We live in an age which well deserves to
be called new. 1t is the age Of steamboats,, Of
railroads, of electric telegraphs, of Pacific rail-
roads and Suez canals. 1t is more 1t is, in a
pre-eminent degree, the age of the newspaper
One of the characteristic features of the age
is the position which the newspaper occupies as
the channel for the thoughts and ideas of great
men. Time was when great statesman, bur-
dened with great thoughts which concerned
the welfare of many men, perhaps
many nations, had no choice but
to write book, which few read, or deliver a
speech, to which few listened, or keep his
thoughts to himself Now the man with great
ideas has far simpler ard much more effec-
tive way Of giving expression to his thoughts
He has but to call to his aid an intelligent
newspaper correspondent, have quiet chat
for an hour or two, conduct the conversation
with some little purpose, submit to an occa-
sional question, and in space of time, more
or less brief as circumstances necessitate, his
thoughts, free from all verbiage, clearly and
Ciispy put, oio III euo pOs5cS5lOu Ol mllllOnS.
The columns of the HERALD present many
such examples. As one of our latest we point
to the report In the HERALD Of yesterday of a
conversation which one Of our correspondents
recently held with Count Bismarck. II is not
our business at present to dwell on the details
of the conversation, but to point to the new
means which statesmen have discovered for
influencing the world. The new agency, to
which some time since Pendleton somewhat
reluctantly submitted, Of which Ben Butler
fully knows and appreciates the value, the i'm
portance of which Count Bismarck now con-
fesses, and the introduction of which is mainly
due to the enterprise of the HERALD, must,
more and more, come into use; and the change
will be an advantage to statesmen and the
world generally. 1t will make an end of long
winded speeches, of which thinking men are
becoming more and more impatient.

STANTON's HALFWAY SYSTEM Another
suit against Stanton for false Imprisonment
during the war is on the carpet. On the old
plan Of government man in Stantons place
during the war would have put the agent of
the Southern government in court presented
two or three witnesses against him, and the
agent would have left court on his way to the
gaIlows. That would have been the last OF
the case, and there would have been no suit for
damages when the war was over. One point
in favor of the old and simple system was that
BILE from spies and traitors living inside the
line.

BAD FOR THE New ZEALASpERs. From
Dunedin, New Zealand, we are informed that
a Maori chief has caused the murder of several
English settlers, their wives and families, with
forty friendly natives. British troops had
reached the scene Of the slaughter, where they
found only the ruins of plundered and fired
homesteads. This is really bad for the Maoris,
as they will be eventually 'wipcd out by the
civiizcrs. Macaulay's man may be among
them and will, consequently, never visit
London.

went deliberately to beat negro and he shot
one of them, and in this extreme assertion of
his manhood and bis rights the niger follows
closely the example we set-only he ought to
improve his aim and shoot the man who actu-
ally commits the outrage, not some one else,
for that would materially simplify the case
before the coroner.

We are glad the enterprising company which
has undertaken this work are going on
with it in spite of the opposition Of
the old cable monopolists and their
allies on this side, and notwithstanding the
stupid, uncalled for and imperative opinion of
Attorney General Hoar. All we have to say
is, lay your cable, gentleman, and we assure
you that the people of the United States will
respond with hearty God speed. Put it
under the Atlantic and land it at the point you
have designed in the United States, make it
an accomplished fact, and our word for it you
will meet with no serious or long obstruction.
