RECKLESS LEGISLATION.

Notwithstanding the vigor with which
the National House Of Representatives
set to work on the general appropriation
bills, getting three of them we'll under
way before the holiday recess, it has
come to pass that two more Of them, and
one special bill appropriating twenty
seven millions, have been rushed through
the House under suspensions of the rules.
This is a most reprehensible style Of
legislation. A suspension of rules means
the removal of all the checks in the way
of hasty and inconsiderate legislation :
The three readings of the bill are dis
pensed with /; the considera' ion in Com
mlttee of the Whole is set aside, the
chance for amendment is cut of, ami
nothing is left but the bare constitutional
right 10 demand the } eas and nays. 1t
is trne that this can be done only by p
twO-thirds vote of the House. but 1t IS
equally true that it takes away utterly
the right of the minority of one-third tp
be heard in the matter at all. 1t is quite
as bad as "cancus" legislation, and is ag-
gravated by the fact that there was mo
real necessity for it. 1t will be remark
able stroke of good luck, if two of the
bills so passed are not stocked with ap.
preparation for jobs and other Legislation
of a questionable character.-Ledyep.

The Worlds Verdict.

Vice in rags is one thing in this
world, and vice in diamonds anoth-
er. One who, if he were but poor
and unknown, would be cast aside
with contempt, has his sins cordial
ly forgiven him by society, if he is
the possessor of millions.
The worlds verdict is generally
a favorable one for the sinner, if
from that sinner there is something
to be got-if he has the power to
give office, to throw money into
others hands, or even to give great
dinner parties and drown his guests
in champagne.
This is the secret of it all: the
rich and powerful people are useful.
Society does not love them more.
Society loves no one; but its most
useful tools it will not cast away.
1t will say black is white, rather
than do that, and cry out it is
"only her way" when the woman
in power commits her folly for
which they would Danish helpless
woman from their ranks.
Heaven forbid that we should not
all be merciful, but it is not just to
be cruelty severe to the poor and
helpless, and very tender to toe
rich aDd powerful. But this is what
society is.
Perched upon her throne IL
Vanity Fair sits Madame Grundy
She has one blind eye, which she
turns upon the fashionable sinner
while she keeps a sharp and suspic
ious lookout over the people o.
whom she cannot make good use
and gives them double punishment
if they trip, to make up for her len
iencv to those others.

It is Good to be Poor.

/ cannot but envy the poor man,
for his is the happiest condition OF
life; the experience and lessons OF
humility, and patience and devotion
that he daily receives are strength
enlng his character and making his
influence nobler. 1 have thought
that poor, good men are given us,
that their lives may reflect the eter-
nal goodness OF the Creator. So
many of the sweetest songs haye
been sung, so many of the bravest
deeds have been done by men of
low estate, that l always look to
them for the great achievements in
thought and act. l cannot say why
it is, but money seems to cramp Our
nature, developing only what should
be destroyed and dwarfng the bet
ter parts, and / wish none of us
could have more than enough to
satisfy our reasonable wants, unless
for charity. If this world was the
sum of all we have been or hope 70
be, even then the poor man holds
the vantage ground. Health and
contentment follow his calling; hap
piness dearer than anything this
world can give is of his own right
These reflections are the result oi

The Reason Why.

An exchange says: We are oc-
casionally asked why we charge
more for our paper than city papers
of larger dimensions. The answer
is easy. The city weeklies publish
dailies, and so much of the matter
prepared for the daily as is neces-
sary goes into the weekly, thus saw
ing the price of composition.
Again, the city weeklies have circu-
lations of thousands where we have
hundreds, and they do not'send out
a single paper except for cash IN ad-
vance. The city papers get from six
to ten times as much for advertising
as a country paper does. For in
stance, where we charge 8 to 10
cents q line they get from 40 to
$3.50. Again, if the above were
not the case, still a home paper
that contains matter of interest to
all citizens of the county is more
valuable than a city paper that
contains general reading matter
but no news of local interest.

Love Of Money.

1t is impossible to disguise the
fact that the love of money is our
national failing. The desire to
grow rich, the wish to possess
money, absorbs the American mind
almost TO the Moloch to whom we
sacrifice health, time, honor, repu
tation. We throw all into the bal
ance, even our immortal souls, and
care not if we lose so that we can
gain the world. Money has been
the root of all our evil, and to grasp
the gIlttering treasure, we have ruth
lessIy trampled on what we once
deemed sacred and precious. The
church, the Government, business,
society, the home, all show the
trail OF this serpent, and it is time
that the watchman on the tower
should warn the people of the dan
ger ahead. We are drifting away
from the strongholds of integrity,
as a nation we are losing caste; let
us return to the safe harbor of hon
estv and honor before we make a
total wreck of what is of more val
ue than money-our good name
here and our immortal souls hereaf-
ter. The decay of Greece can be
traced to the luxury of her people.
1t must not be said of future ages
that Americas decay was due to her
love of money.

THE EXODUS.
What an Intelligent colored Editor
of Kansas Has to Say
About it.
Sound and Sensible Advice.

At the recent exodus convention
at Nashville, I. w. Henderson, q
colored citizen of Kansas, and edi
tor of the Kansas Colored Citizen,
read the following extract from his
paper to the conve ntion:
In regard to the migration OF
these people from the South to
Kansas, we have shese plain views
to express, and we shall send this
paper to many leading men of the
South, we hope they will make
known the views herein expressed.
We have to say
1. That reports circulated by
unprincipled persons that the col
ored people coming to Kansas
would receive home free, or any
thing else free, is false. Everybody
in Kansas has to get home just as
they would have to get it anywhere
else, except such of them as are
willing and prepared to go out upon
the frontier and run the risk of
making a living on the homestead
lands given by the government.
We want to tell our people plainly
that all the government land oh
tainable in Kansas is so far away
from the markets as to make them
for the poor man exceedingly unde-
sirable Then we say don come to
Kansas expecting to have a home
given you. You can only get a
home or tract of land in Kansas by
buying it. Let this be understood.
You can buy land at from So to $40
per acre.
2. Our advice is never leave home
for Kansas without having some
money over and above what it costs
to pay your transportation, nor
then, without some definite plan in
your head as to where you are 60
ing and what you mean to do after
you get there.
3. Remember that in Kansas
everybody must work or starve.
This is a great State for the ener-
getic and industrious, but fearful
poor one for the idle or lazy man,
"root hog or die'' is the motto here.
Now we hope all the above is
plain enough to be easily under
stood and we urge upon all the
truthfulness of what we have said.

We have the reprint of the April
number of the London Quarterly
Review from the Leonard Scott
Publishing Co., Al Barclay steet,
N. Y. The leading article Is on the
"SpeaKer's Commentary on the Old
Testament" After briefly explain
ing the origin and object of the
work, and pointing out how far it
has succeeded in accomplishing its
purpose, the greater part of the ar
ticle is devoted to an examination
of the manner in which several
questions of peculiar interest at the
present time are treated. The arti-
Gle "Brugsch's History of Egypt
gives some very valuable informa
tion on the progress Of Hero

tiOn, and the light thereby thrown
on early Egyptian history, espe-
cially in its connection with the
narratives in Genesis and Exodus.

Some Items about Sugar.

On an average every man, woman
and child IN the United States con-
sumes each year about 30 pounds
of cane sugar, and nearly two gal
Ions of molasses, besides maple su-
gar, honey and other sweets. Nine
teen pounds of pure cane sugar is
actually made up of, and can be
changed into, eight pounds of char
coal and eleven pounds of water.
Pure charcoal is made up of eight
pounds of charcoal (carbon) and
ten pounds of water. Any boy car
demonstrate this roughly by put
ting a small quantity of sugar on 9
piece of thin iron over a hot lamp
or Goals, and hold over it a glass
jar, bottom up. The sugar will
change to pure charcoal, while the
water will rise up and condense or
the inside of the jar, if it be kept
cool, and he will get nothing from
the sugar but coal and water. The
chemist can easily take the nineteer

"GOing .A-Fishing."


Exchange: "The man who in
vented the fish.hook will some day
have-a a monument. 1t will be a gran
ite column five hundred feet high,
built by the boys alone. A boy
might possibly get along with mar
bles, tops, stills, balls and kites,
yet he would feel that there was an
aching void somewhere. A kite

there's water there ought to be fish,

he had spit on the bait and cast in
his hook all the Seth Greens ever
born couldn't have convinced him
that he would fail of at least one
good big bite. For two long hours
he fished for sturgeon and pickerel
and pike, changing the bait now

spit on it, and as he hauled up fol

Cure for Hydrophobia.

So far as is known no genuine
case of hydrophobia has ever yet
been cured in this country. A cor
respondent of the New York Her
aid asserts that a discovery of a
cure for the fearful malady has
been made IN Russia, this remedy
being pure oxygen. A little Rus
sian girl was recently attacked by
the disease and the physicians
therenpon made her inhale three
cubic feet of oxygen. In the course
of an hour and half all the symp-
toms disappeared and the child re-
named calm. On the next day but
one the malady returned in all itS
distressing characteristics. A fresh
inhalation of oxygen was tried, and
at the end of forty-fve minutes the
attack subsidized and never returned.

who lately died, who never knew
what it was to have a pleasant mo-
ment, and whose only struggle was
to get money and having it, to get
more. He died, without benefitting
himself or anyone else, perhaps
making some miserable. From the
hour he began to acquire wealth he
grew narrow minded, selfish and dis.
trustful, and passed his time in
what seemed to be a wretched way,
without friendship for men or love
of God or spiritual growth. Pardon
me for contrasting him with a
neighbor who is contrary in him
self and his relations to the other.

What will He Do with IT.

The editor of the Fayetteville
Express has got into trouble. Hear
him:
We've got the elephant and don't
know how to dispose of it. Several
weeks since a young man found a
derringer pistol in the road and
brought it TO this office to be ad-
vertised. We advertised the lost
implement of destruction, expecting
the owner to call for it and pay for
the advertisement. No one has
called, and the thing is left on our
hands. Now, we are in fix. What
shall we do with the pesky thingf
We can't sell it, under the law, to
get our pay we can't give it away,
neither are we allowed to remove
it. How in the name of the great
Delringer we are to rid ourselves OF
the outlawed concern is what both
ers us now. Besides, to add to our
discontinue, the bull dog looking
thing is loaded to the muzzle and
we are not allowed to shoot it of in
town or to carry it outside of the
corporation to empty it. Any law
yer who will satisfactorily advise us
on this matter may receive the con-
tents of the instrument.
