Wheat is looking very fine. The

prospects our farmers viii have

Seldom is more romantic career
brought to public attention than that
which has just ended in the death at
Philadelphia of Mrs. Elizabeth HAITI
Ter, in her 92d year. Mrs. Hatzler's
claim to distinction lay in the fact
that she was a veteran of the Franco
Russian war of 1872. Born at Ian
lau, then French possession. in
1870, she married at 20 George HAITI
Ter, a cavalry sergeant in the French
army, but their honeymoon was
rudely interrupted by orders to the
husband to join the expedition
against Russia. The young wife inn
mediately determined to accompany
him, cut her hair short, dOnned a
soldiers uniform, and thus disguised
rode at her husbands side through
the whole campaign. She participat.
ed in all the great battles, witnessed
the burning of Moscow and after her
husbands promotion to the rank OF
staff officer often saw and several
times conversed with Napoleon.
She suffered her full share of the rig
ors of war, having been captured
with her husband ty the Cossacks
and held a prisoner for nineteen
months, aud then exchanged only
in tima IN chara tho Su ffprinuc Of tho
disastrous retreat of the French
army. She went through all these
experiences without her sex being
discovered, and despite all the ex-
posures of her early life, retained
the full us of her faculties to the
end, living to see ten great-grand-
children growing up in her Ameri.
can home.

A HIGHER DESTINY. cannot
be that earth Is mans abiding place.
Ii cannot be that our life is a buble
cast upon the ocean of eternity, and
float moment upon its surface, and
then go into nOthingness and dark
ness forever. Else why is it that the
high and glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temples of
our hearts are forever wandering
abroad unsatisfied? Why is it that
the rainbow and the cloud come over
us with beauty that is not of earth,
and then pass off and leave us to
muse on the faded loveIiness? Why
is ii that the stars which hold their
festival around the midnight throne
are set above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us with
their unapDroachable glory? And
finally, why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presented
to our view, and then taken from us
leaving the thousands of streams of
the affections to flow back in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts? We are
born for higher destiny than that
of earth. This is a realm where the
stars will be spread out before us,
like the islands that slumber in the
ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings that here pass befOrd us like the
visions will stay in our presence for
ever.

seller equally liable and responsible.
Dealers who sell to drunkards are

imprisonment and disfranchisement.
Persons guilty of drunkenness are

TILE TAX PROBLEM

The coming extra session of the
legislature will fall short of useful
ness if it neglects to handle the sub
iect of state and county taxation. AS
the constitution now stands a high
rate of state taxes must be main
tanned, in order that the counties NAV
derive enough revenue to carry on
their courts and governments. The
ratio Of county taxation Is fixed by
that OF the state, and there is no reliet
outside of 4 constitutional amend
ment separating the two, making
them absolutely independent of each
other. The Legislature can prepare
'-e--F'''ea .eye,rrv--.r:z 41tz-u--1 M,
shadow OF doubt as to its adoption
if thus submitted. The necessity for
the change is too palpabIe to admit of
dispute or discussion even. Tax
payers grumble at the immense "cash
balance" that is accommodating at
Austin. They should bear in mind
that if this accumulation is stopped
with the present law unchanoedl
nearly every county i'll the state will
be starved out. The state must fay
as heavy as it does now until the
people vote change in the
constitution. The remedy is
simple and can be. made speedy,
and the Governor will receive the
OF the people by urging the
legislature to take prompt and thor
'ugh action in the premises. Let the
counties tax five or fifty cents, accord
ng to their respective needs, without
eference to the state rate. Then re-
uce the present state rate to the f
owest figure consistent with safety c
nd the problem is solved. Money
-ill not accumulate by the million
nd the strain on the great body of o
x-payers will be lessened without al
lpairing the efficiency Of the county Il
'vernments.

MHAr lie DID SAY

The EXAMINER published, one day
last week, an associated press DIS
patch that purported to give an ac-
count of remarks made by Mr.. Jefler-
son Davis, at recent reunion, in
New Orleans, OF the Association of
the Army OF Northern Virginia. In
that account Mr.. Davis was made to
allude to the cause of the Confedera-
cy as not dead-only sleeping-and
warning his hearers that they might
have TO sometime unsheathe their
swords i'll its behalf. We took occa-
sion to discredit this version of Mr..
Davis sentiments, remembering how
often he is misquoted, out of pure
righteousness, by reckless journalists.
The press item in question gained
such an extensive circulation that the
New Orleans Picayune has repro
duced Mr.. DAVIS remarks, giving
them as they were really uttered. At
ter alluding to the war period he con-
cluded as follows, speaking to the ex-
soldiers gathered around him:
Yon have written your record, you have done
your duty. The principles you then asserted
are as necessary for the preservation of the
American union as they were when you struck
for them, and the existence of the best govern
meut the world ever saw, the American union
Is stilI iadissolubly bound mp in the principles
for which you folght. Be stlll eyer re -dy to
tight Tor this union as would be willing TO m-
sheath my sword for it. have no regrets for
the past, for it involves these principles.
If you suffered for your principles and lost all
in war save honor, you still preserve that, and
you came from a great war with your hands un-
stained by plunder.
This is your record, and thank God for 1t.
This sounds quite different from
the Jefferson Davis of the Associated
Press reporter, breathing rebellion
and hostility to the union. This is
all that could or should be expected
of the ex-chief of the Confederacy,
and in its conservation it may
fairly challenge the criticism of any
fair minded person, north or south
JEFF DaYis may be partisan, but his
enemy meyer accused him of lacking
manhood and consistency.
