The terrible power which the appetite
! for intoxican's has over its slaves. il
vividly illustrated in the folio wing Incl
dent:
One wintry afternoon trembling mar
entered tavern in New Hampshire, car.
rying small package of clothing. Go
ing to the bar he said:
Landlord. am burning; give me ,
good glass of GIN"
The landlord pointed to a line of chalE
marks and said:
"John, you see the score-not another
drop until that is paid"
I The poor wretch glared fercely at the
man behind The bar.
"Landlord, you don't mean that. You
have got my farm, you have got nv
horses, you have got my tools. All
have got in the world is this little bun-
die of clothes. Please, landlord. give
me for them Just one glass OF gin"
81 don't want your old Clothes" calm
ly answered the man. "Pay the old
score firsi."
The drunkard staggered back. A gen.
tleman then said:
e'sWhat viii you give me for enough TO
buy two glassessof ginP I see you have
a good pair of boots on your feet. Will
you give me your boots for ten cents ?"
The miserable wretch hesitated for q
moment and then said:
1 %Stranger, II | give you the boots. l
must 60 out in the snow barefooted Il
I give you the boots / must freeze to
death; if ] don't give them to you ]
shall burn to death. Stranger, It is hard
er to burn to death than it is to freeze 10

the BOOTS"
He sat down and began to draw them
off.
The gentleman Gid not, however, in
tend TO take them, but he was testing the
sttpngtf OF theterrihle appetite. U;hers
were looking on, and they said the man
.sheuid have his gin. 80
They supplied him literally, and be
drank all be could and took the rest
away. When night came he drank the
last. drop and went to sleep In bar, /.
The frost king came and took the poor
maniin his arms.
The next morning he was found in the
barn frozen to death.

A Wrinkle for Senior Class
Young Men.

The season Of college commandments
is nigh upon US, and soon thousands of
gifted young men, thirsting for the battle
of life and armed with the sheepskin OF
their alma mater, will sally forth to join
the army of bread-wlnners. The vast
majority of these will seek the seductive
avenues of the learned professions, and
thereby testify that the teachings OF
philosophy, so well garnered for exami-
nation day, have gone in one ear and out
of the other. To the few who may re-
spect the stern dicta of hoary sages, who
despised the pomp and vanities Of the
world and pursuing humble callings won
contentment and fame, it may be Of
service to commend the moral Of the fol-
lowing from contemporary that per
forms its work almost in the shadow of
old Harvard:
AN Italian, who began gathering old
bottles in a sack few years ago in New
York, has just paid $4,000 cash for a
house. Young men in the senior classes
Of our colleges, who, in the language OF
their class day orators, are standing on
the threshold of active life, should bear
this new profession in mind. The pro-
LESSONS of law and CT medicine are over
crowded. In the city of Boston alone
there are nearly two thousand lawyers,
or one to every two hundred Of the
population, and unless the physicians
| take the advice to heal themselves,
it is difficult to see how so many
of them support life in the
neighborhood of Boylston street The
prizes are few and small in either pro-
fession, and it is safe to say that nc
young doctor or lawyer has, in few
years, laid by $40, 900 in cash. The pro
fession of bottle gatherer requires but
little technical training and very small
capital; the Italian. whose good fortune.

It is probable that the House bill. ele-
waiting the Bureau of Agriculture to the
dignity of an executive department, Will
be passed by the Senate. The opportu-
nitv is too good to humbug the farmers
into a belief that the politicians are So
licitous for their interests to be foregone.
1t may be that the new department, under
proper management, will serve the inter
ests Of agriculturists. Provided it is not
made a mere "snnex" to the already ex-
tensive establishments for political pau
pers provided in the existing depart
ments, and competent chiefs and sub
ordinates are employed, valuable and
lasting results may be obtained.
The assistance that farmers need most,
however, Is Of different kind. A light
ening or the removal of the tribute
wrung from them for the enrichment OF
the benefciaries of the protective system
is within the power of the professed
friends of the farmers. and yet it
is persistently withheld, simply be-
cause such a statesmanlike pro-
cedure would be apt to cost sundry
members their seats in Congress.
There has been abundant and uninter-
rupted legislation for the benefit Of man
ufacturers and corporations generally,
but the agriculturist, without whose Ia
bors these protected and pampered IA
vorites could not prosper, is ignored and
made to yield up large margin OF his
profit for their support.
The vast army of the tillers OF the soil
can and will in time enforce their rights.
The tariff commission dodge will serve Its
purpose for the time. 1t gave timid Demo
crisis a chance to 'fhedge" on the issue OF
monopoly or justice, and viii enable the
Radical campaign committee to receive
another contribution from the benef'
Charles of the tariff The people, how
ever, are waking up, and the system Of
spoliation will give PLACE to one that re-
spects the rights Of all producers. An
Agricultural Department would be
tardy concession to claims long ig
nored, but a tariff for revenue, with 6
fair field and no favor, is the farmer;
chief need.

The star route thieves, in their viz
dictive attempt to break down all Oppo-
sition, have vilifled IN turn government
officials, prosecuting officers, Judges,
juries and newspapers. Ex-Postmaster
General james, as originating the pro-
ceedings to bring them to justice, has
come in for a special shower Of their
abuse, and their last effort to hound him
down has been through insinuated
charges that there was something wrong
in the matter Of certain payments made
by him as disbursing agent of the gov
eminent during the construction of the
New York post Office building. The
New York Sun puts a quietus
upon the malignant story as follows:
''The transactions in question have been
carefully investigated by our reporters.
We print the charges and the entirely
satisfactory explanation together, as the
best measure of justice to a man who
has been honest and useful in the public
service, and whose record will stand the
daylight"

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, does
not seem to find much comfort among
his friends at home in regard to his con-
duct in the Peruvian affair, which he
has sworn he would repeat in the same
light he has had. One of them-the
editor of the Nashua Tegegraph-says:
eff it is proper for United States
Senator, in whose hands is lodged a part
of the war making power, can be coun-
sci in case where it may be the interest
of his client to threaten and perhaps
precipitate a war, then we have fallen on
strange times. We believe that such a
view is not only unsound, but that it
is full of danger to the peace of the
country and the integrity of Congress.
In this very case, Senator Blair
saws shat he believed that Chill,
by proposing to insist on territorial in
demnity from Peru, had insulted our
government, and he believed that posi-
bly, ships of war would be sent there. If
such contingency did not make posi-
bic the Intervention Of Congress, then it
is difficult to conceive of one that would.
At such a stage it would have been just
as proper for the Secretary of State to
have retained counsel as for United
States Senator. 1t would hardly have
been less dangerous either, for the Sec
rotary has nothing to do with declaring
war, while a Senator has"

George Otto Trevelyan. who hs

George Otto TrevelYsn, who has been
appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland to
succeed the murdered Lord Frederick
Cavendish, is the son of Sir Charles
Trevelyan, long prominent official in
the civil service of the United Kingdom.
His mother was Hannah More Macau-
lay, the favorite sister of Lord Macaulay,
and the only member of his family with
whom he had any close sympathies. To
Lady Trevelyan and her children Lord
Macsulay bequeathed the bulk of his
fortune. George Otto Trevelyan was
born in 1888, and was educated at Hsr-
ward and Trinity College, Cambridge.
He is fine scholar and is an author of
some distinction. He entered Parlia-
ment in 1865, being returned for Tyne
mouth. In 1868 he was returned for
Harwick, and still holds the seat. In
November, 1880, Mr.. Gladstone ap-
pointed him Secretary to the Admiralty,
and he still continues in that position.

The Astounding Figures of Extrava

A Washington special says the rush for
special legislation In the present Republican
Congress, of which Secor Robson is ftly
the leader in the House Of Representatives,
exceeds all former experience. Nothing
approaching in magnitude the proposed
spolistiOn Of the Treasury has been hereto
fore known, or even suggested as possible.
By close computation, made by officers
of the House, It appears that 1854 bills and
1S5 joint resolutions have been introduced,
involving an outlay OF $643, 81, 1886, without
counting the allowances that may be mafA
10 ], 100 pension bills
These appalling figures seem to make no
impression on the mai ority. They have ini-
tiated a carnival of prodigalitY and of plum
der which throws the revelries Of Grantism
into the shade, and they mean, il It be pos
sible, to make 1t end in wild debauch of
appropriations.

through with railroad speed, there are other
schemes which aggregate enormous sums.
The lapsed grants to railroad corporations,
allowing them the equities, foot up over two
hundred and ten millions of dollars at the
minimum price of the land.
The Judiciary Committee OF the House
has these land grants under consideration,
and from all the signs, outside and inside,
the question is likely to remain In that IN
settled state for this session, and perhaps
for this Congress. Corporations which claim
territory covering an area as large as New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, with their six
millions of population are unwilling to
surrender such an empire without desper-
ate struggle. They have employed con-
spicuous counsel aud other persuasive in
fuences, which poOr settlers and struggling
industry cannot do. Corporations have the
ear Of this Congress, aud they intend to be
felt in legislation before its career closes In
ignominy.
But there are sharp eyes watching these
big jobs, and the votes that win be given
upon them, to make up record for the fall
elections. Candidates for reelection VIII
do well not to forget this notice.

Snnreme COnrt Relief.

Hon. David Davis service on the Su-
preme bench gave him abundant oppor-
tunity to become familiar with the ne
cessity of Tightening the burdens of that
tribunal. While this necessity is con-
ceded, and should be met, it is doubtful
if the measure now under discussion
would answer as well as other remedies.
The batch of new Judges would, doubt
less, discharge the work assigned them,
but a higher order of talent would be
required than has been exacted from the
Circuit judges, whose chief function Is
to preside in political cases ard see that
the party suffer no detriment. An
enlargement Of the Supreme Court may
not be desirable, but, if too many Judges
were not added. such procedure would
DE preferable to the creation Of
contingent of Appellate Judges,
the majority Of whom would be
selected, probably, from other
considerations than fitness. There is
some weak timber on the Supreme Bench
itself, more in the District Courts, and
far too much in many of the Circuit
Courts. 1t is bad enough to tinker with
any of our institutions, but our judiciary
should, if it cannot be improved, be let
severely alone.

The New York Herald properly char
acterizes the tariff commission bill,
passed by Congress, as a measure in the
interest of Hobbies, and some monopo-
lies, and one opposed to the interests of
the people. The extortion from the
masses of an excessive revenue-one that
IS grossly beyond what Is needed for car
rYing on the government, economically,
is one Of the mischievous consequences
of the act. There will be nothing done
under it unless a political revolution
takes place intermediately land the pios-
poets for that are promising), to remove
heavy tax burdens from the people until
after the next Presidential election. The
