Oscar Wilde was complaining at
Cape May the other day of the high
prices of things IN this country. "My
gloves, tor example," he said, (which
| might have bought for dollar in
London, cost two dollars and half
here" $50 they ought" exclaimed
ex-Mayor Stokley, OF Philadelphia,
who was in the room ;"they are lux
uries." "Luxuries, sir?" echoed the
asthete, in wide-eyed amazement /:
"do you call gloves Injuries? How
would You go on the street, how
could on travel in the railroad cars,
without gloves" ado you see these
hands % returned Mr.. Stokley, warm
". "before l became mayor of Phila-
delphia worked so hard at nv
shop that my hands became all
covered with corns that you might
have cut with q knife, and those
hands, sir, have never had pair of
gloves on them. And you talk about
work. Why, it's good for you? Pye
worked nearly all my life, and
L weigh two hundred and
twenty pounds" II will take
your word for it Mr.. Mayor:
will take your word for il.
gasped the Mortified aesthetic, and he
let the subject drop; but afterwards
be made some minute inquiries about
Mr. Stokley's career, with a view to
basing thereon chapter in his forth
coming book on America.

POstof1ice Inspector General r. A.
Cameron has just returned to Den
yer from a trip through the north
western portion of Colorado and
the Wyoming, Utah and Ute reser-
vstious. He says it is a fine grazing
country, magnificently watered and
specially adapted 10 sheep raising.
A man with 5000 sheep, he says,
would grow very rich in few years
in that country. 1t is not an agri-
cultural district. He reports "a won
derfully discovery of gold in spar
thirty-five miles southwest of Pixies
Peak and about che same distance
southeast of Dixon, the postoffice
of that section. On two nipple
peaks, at an altitude of about 5000
feet, some California miners recent
ly found vein of gravel that is said
to be extremely rich in gold. A
Colorado man stated at Dixon that
if the new discovery was half as
good as he anticipated it would be,
the district would rival California
gulch and the Blue river diggings,
as they were in their palmiest days.
Judging by the color and texture of
the material, the gold from the new
district will run $lS to $40. The
strike is about $50 miles from Raw
Inns, and there is a good wagon road
all the way.

Boyton's FooIhardiness.

Capt. Boyton, the swimming man,
now threatens to leap down the
Falls of Niagara and try his chance
at swimming in the whirlpool. 1t is
commonly thought that there. is
some danger in these exercises and
that Boyton had better not try them,
yet it is possible that to one who is
as amphibious as he has proved him
self such aquatic sports are no more
daring than the excursion to the
ledge of rock below and behind the
Falls on the Canadian side. This is an
everyday piece of foolhardiness and
Is enjoyed by thousands of persons
who cannot swim and whom a mis-
step would send under the cataract
itself. A steamboat some years ago
passed the whirlpool rapids with
success, yet the trip never became a
popular one, possibly owing to the
difficulty of return. If Boyton at
tempts this dangerous feat he will
have thousands of people TO look at
him just from curiosity to see wheth-
er he will drown or not. 1.-The should
drown he debars himself from public
sympathy, for he well knows that
the undertaking is foolhardy one
and at the risk of his life.

Give Us the Proof.
1Seguin Times.7


The Houston Post says at is a no
torious fact that twenty-seven sher-
ifs and many deputy sheriffs voted
solidly against Comptroller Brown
at the Galveston convention" Wash
Jones made the same charge and
when called on for the names said
that he got it from dispatch to an
Austin paper. We say it is not a
notorious fact and we dare the Post
to the proof. The sheriff of this
county, although not a delegate, went
to Galveston especially to as
aist Mr.. Brown, and the writer of
tins promised the county collector
to cast his vote for Brown, and did
so. Not only this but Mr.. Brown
said that he was gratified to know
that where county had a good col
lector, such as ours, the collector
was for him. If it is "a notorious
facp the names can be easily had
and again we dare the Post to the
proof. If 1t does not give the proof
will it not stand convicted in the
minds of all fair minded men of a
wilful mis- statement?

Foot Rot I'm sheen.

The foot rot in sheep commences
between the claws of the hoof, where
it causes irritation, heat and usually
from the first, slight lameness. There
is very pungent, acrid and Often
sive stencil present. This Is one of
the surest tests by which those az
quainted with the disease judge of
its presence. 1t gradually works its
way round under the hoof until it is
loosened, and the whole hoof is q
mass of offensive disease; and often,
where it has been permitted to run
for any length Of time, number of
hocks may be seen feeding upon their
knees. Usually, at that stage, the
foot becomes fiy-blown, and often
large number of maggets may be
taken from the feet. Of course,
this is very painful to the victim,
and rapidly reduces the flesh and
strength of the sheep, but, being
confined in its immediate work to
the locality of the foot, it is surpris-
ing how long the poor victim will
endure the strain and it sometimes
may recover without curative aid
being applied. With such disease
the treatment must be heroic and
very thorough. The whole flock
every foot even in the fock-must
be examined. All must be trimmed
carefully, and from every diseased
foot the hoof carefully cut away,
Just as far as the disease has spread
under it, even if the whole has to be
cut entirely from the foot. To
every foot, whole or diseased, must
be faithfully and carefully applied,
with a swab, a mixture of pulver-
lied blue vitrol and spirits OF tur-
pentine.

The Color Line nm the Army.
baltimore Herald

For the present year the cadets
at West Point have escaped the an
nOyance of a disturbing element in
their military studies, parades and
social relations. Lemuel w. Living
ston, the colored young man who
applied for admission from Florida,
has been rejected on account of al
legged deficiency in preparatory
studies. 1t is to be hoped he had a
fair opportunity afforded him, and
that his complexion did not
initiate against his enrolment
in that corps of exclusives. He
passed the medical examination, and
is said to be of that robust pit ysique
which is an essential qualification
for a soldier. He was highly CON-
mended for moral character and
proficiency in study by the profess
sor who accompanied him to see that
he was treated with justice. He
will probably try again under more
favorable circumstances and then it
will be seen If the color line is indeli-

The New York EmbrOgIIO.
GPhiladeIDbia Times1

The Cornell Conkling embroglio
in New York state seems TO be de-
veloping some very interesting po-
litical tactics. Just now there ap-
pears to be, as consequence of the
boss unpleasautness, perfect boom
for Wadsworth, and if one could be-
lieve it was sincere, all lovers of
honest government would have rea-
son to rejoice. But there is a very
strong suspicion in some quarters
that the Stalwarts are only running
Wadsworth i'll half-breed districts
where Cornell might have a chance
to get delegates, while in the Stall
warts districts good care is taken to
elect delegates who can be counted
Oh to vote for some boss candidate
till the crack of doom if necessary.
MIR. Wadsworth has been a consist
ent enemy of COnkling's boss meth
DDS from his entrance into public
life, aud while the ex-senator is will
ing to play him against Cornell in
order to beat both of them, he is not
likely 10 do anything to advance
Wadsw Orth's real chances.

Five years ago two diamond cut
tiers dressed and polished all the
stones that came in the rough to this
country. In the main only the fin
ished diamonds were imported.
But it was found that the work of
cutting and polishing diamonds was
often done carelessly in Europe, and
that American workmen could bet
ter satisfy the critical taste of Amer
lean buyers of precious stones. So
marked was the difference between
the imported diamonds and those
cut and polished here, that demand
for the stones of American finish was
created, and within five years five
or six more diamond cutters have
established themselves in New York,
They dress and polish perhaps one
twentieth of all the diamonds sold in
the city, and the excellence OF their
work is recognized.

Can't stand the Pressure.
philadelphia Press (Rep.)1

The Press was the first journal in
the north to sustain and encourage
Gen. Malone i'll his Virginia resoin-
ton. But when Gen. Malone un-
dertakes to follow the Hubbell
order to stand and deliver with an
other five per cent ransom the Press
is bound to condemn the perform
ance as impolitic, unjustifiable and
odious. This whole business of arbi-
trary assessments has become often
sive to the American people. 1t Is
wrong in principle, oppressive in
practice, demoralizing in it's infiu-
ence and utterly corrupting IN its
effect. 1t treats the public service
as the mere spoils ofpolitics-makes
the public officer the abject depend
ent of party managers-wipes out
the narrow margins of mea-
ger salaries - encourages irres-
ponsible and illegitimate ex-
penditure-and contributes in.
calcul ably to that degrading and
sordid tone both of politics and of
the civil service from which the
country must find way of escape.
1t was bad enough to levy the ar
bitrary two per cent assessment upon
the whole scope of the public SER
vice: it is still worse to follow this
machine which rakes SO clean with
another that in its own range un-
dertakes to scrape up more than
double the amount. If this extra
levy is tolerated from one state il
may be made from all; if it may
come from national and state chair
men it may be taken up by the local
chairman, or the member of congress,
and with these successive demands
it becomes not merely a public scan
dial, but a severe hardship. If a cause
has sunk to point where this must
be its reliance, it has sad need for
being hauled off for repairs. When
it Is strong and sound and just, it
will find ample response to an appeal
for popular support.

An Opinion that Gains Ground.
Baltimore Herald,T


An opinion Is gaining ground
among the colored citizens of the
south that their rights are not duly
recognized by the white Republi-
cans, for whom they allege they
were long enough hewers of wood
and drawers of water. The colored
voters are DESTROYS ola larger share
of the county offices than is now
given to them by Republican mana
gers. A colored correspondent OF
the New Y ork San, writing from the
Empire state of the south, says
unless a change of affairs takes
place soon IN Georgia the prob
abilities are that the Repub-
licans of that state will vote the
straighout Democratic ticket in
1884. In a circular addressed by
Hannibal Carter, Mississippi, to his
fellow colored voters of Knox coun.
ty, Tennessee, he announces himself
as a candidate to represent the Sec
ond congressional district of Missis-
sippi in the forty-eighth congress,
and solicits the suffrage of Republi-
can voters. He also protests against
lLO management VI tuC pdi lCdu-
ers. AS colored people have their
freedom and the ballot, he asserts
it is high time for them to think and
act for themselves, otherwise their
condition would be degrading SER
vitude of the worst kind. He thinks
that, as for fifteen years the colored
people of the south have been as
sisting with their suffrage white Re-
publican politicians, all obligations
are more than cancelled, and freed
men must now think, act and vote
for themselves. Mr.. Carter init
mates that neither Republican Dor
Democrat take up his party for love,
and that the colored voters have
been imposed on by the schemers
who led them and managed them.
That opinion is shared to some ex-
tent by colored people in Maryland,
for they have already complained
they are overlooked in the list of
federal and state appointments, and
expressed their views freely at re-
cent meetings..

DisorRanizing Society.
cleveland HERALD

Secretary Lincoln is making sad
havoc in some social circles at W ash
ington, by ordering to their regi-
ments a number of army officers
who for years have done little else
than ornament society events, they
being kept at the capital under some
sort of detail or special duty by
the aid OF political and social inf1u-
ences. The secretary may not re-
main so popular with the aesthetics
of Washington, but he will doubt
less add to the efficiency of the army.

As Plain as Flanagan.
Boston Post.1

Malone is as plain-spoken a Re-
publican as the famous Flanagan of
Texas. He secured the decapitation
of a government clerk, and then
turns round and tells the unfortunate
man that he lost his place because
he has been supporting the anti
Malone party i'll Virginia. This is
practical politics with a vengeance,
and to such dirty work the admins
tration gives both approval and as
sistance. Who will dare say now
that the tenure of office of govern
ment official is not dependent upon
his political support of the admins
tration and its friends?

Awakening Thought.
lBrooklyn Eagle |

Apart from individual candidates,
this open, insolent and corrupt in
reference of the federal administra-
ton with state elections may well
awaken thought. That it is wholly
antagonistic to the spirit of our in
situations no intelligent man need
be told. Nothing was more plainly
intended by the great men who es-
tablished the republic and formed
the constitution than that the people
of the various states should be free
to govern their states without the
shadow of constraint or impulse
from the central authority.

became free. During twenty years
a tax was imposed; it fell as low as
S., 800. 900, but in 1910 Napoleon re-
vived the monopoly of the state,
which still exists as he established
il. Since 1852 it was $4,000. 900, in
1862 it was $35.000,000, and now it is
S50,00O,00O. For the last five years
the quantity of tobacco consumed in

$4,000 tons per annum, which is
somewhat more than three times as
much as was consumed half a CELL

From the sale of tobacco France
derives revenue amounting to
more than $5O,0OO,OO0. Tobacco was
first taxed in France in 1921, but in
fifty years the state assumed
the exclusive privilege of SELL
ing the article and manufacture
ing it, and made it over to the farms
er's general, who, at the outbreak of
the revolution, were paying as much
as SO, 100000 per annnm for their
privileges. The state at that period
however, abolished its own exclu-
