Fees for the Garter

Among the miscellaneous votes
which will shortly come before the
House of Commons is an item of some
t60Q for expenses connected with the
admission of Prince George of Wales
to the Order of the Garter. The fees
amount to about f400, and the remain
der OF the charge is for the extraya-
giant and quite useless ''outfitn of =
royal knight. Last years similar paw
ment was made for Prince Albert Vic
tor | do really think that when MEM
bers OF the royal family are created
Knights either of the Garter or any
other order the expenses should be paid
by themselves, or at least Parliament
ought not to be asked to defray the
outlay; for it is altogether monStrous
that the taxpayers should have to nav
for such costly puerilities, and | know
that these sentiments are not confined
to Radicals, but are fully shared by
many Tories. Why, too, should a
number of harpies receive f40O in fees
each time a person is allowed to wear
a piece Of blue ribbon across his shoul-
ders and garter on his London

The Citizens League of this city
indianapolis finds that the liquor
power is so entrenched in county
politics as to render practically void
their attempts to enforce laws
against the sale Of liquor to minors
or drunkards Since last September
not a single Indictment has been
found by the grand juries though a
great number Of violations of the
statutes have been presented by the
League. The selection of these
juries belongs to the county commits
sioners; and the county commits
sioners are elected by the votes Of
Liquordom. They stand by their
constituency. On the September
grand jury were seven or eight sa-
loon keepers; on the October panel
were five or six others of the same
calling and in December another
half dozen. In this way the saloons
make drunkards of boys with inn
punity, and take the bread from the
mouth of the drunkard's child
Phalanx qndianapolis.) What is to
be done in such case as this? Re-
place the officers with good men.
What if the party refuses to replace
the corrupt men with good officials ?
The only course is to replace the
corrupt party by better, and the
only way to do that is to go against
the old party now IN power in that
section.

If war should be declared within
the next few days between Russia
and England, it seems that an exact
repetition Of the Alabama and Kear-
sage fight may be looked for, even to
the attending yacht with sightseers
on board. The Russian corvette
now at Norfolk is decidedly over
matched in size, weight of metal and
number of crew, and the result Of a
fight could hardly fail to be victory
for the Englishman, who might thus
gain "irst blood" for his country
and promotion for himself, although
his pursuit Of the Russian seems to
be a distinct violation Of orders.
New York Times, Rep.
Gen. Grant will probably live
many months, possibly years, but
the same fastidious mode Of practice
which killed Garfield, may shorten
his days. No good man can have
any desire to hear Of his death. As
President he was tyrant, as sol
dier he was magnanimous, and that
is all. But the tiptoeing around his
bed, the solemn pantomime, and the
significant whispers, will help to kill
him, and the seni-hourly kilograms
that his pulse are 50 and so, and his
temperature ditto, and he dozed at
ten and sneezed at eleven, are grow
ing monotonous. Port Gibson

Since Prohibition is moral ques-

Lord Nets ,n'e Flagship.

| feel quite sure that few American
bows have visited Lord Nelson 5 flag
ship, the glorious old Victory on
whose deck the gallant admiral re-
cSiyed his death-wOund, October y,
1905, in that famous battle in the Bay
of Trafalgar. The Victory led the
attack against the combined nayieS of
France and Spain 1t was Lord Mel
sons mightiest victory, and the power
Of France on the ocean was de>troyetl.
The good old ship still presents i line
appearance, and looks strong enough
for another sea-fight. Few of her orig
inal timbers remain, however The
Victory floats high out Of water, and
her ports, from which the cannon have
so often proclaimed England's victor
les, are mostly closed. and the few guns
on board are used only for firing sa-
lutes. The British flag still waves
from the mast and a small company of
sailors guard the ship.
After coming on board, an escort is
provided. Visitors are requested to
register their names and contribute
trife toward paving for this escort duty
by the crew, whose chief employment
is to show visitors the interesting places
on board. We first went on the main
deck A brass plate set in one part of
this deck is inscribed, Here Nelson
fell = Our guide said that Lord Nell
son had no right to stand near this
spot, and that ''he was killed by one
of his own men. who shot him from the
cross-trees;" but we did not care to
listen to such a story, believing. rather,
as indeed is the truth, that Nelson was
killed by the enemy.
The great deck, as it now appears
without single gun, looked lonely
enough, and we descended, by way of
the decks between, to the cockpit,
where the gallant sailor died. 1t is 4
damp, gloomy, and silent place, where,
on that eventful day, and at the close
of Nelson's greatest battle, the great
chief was tenderly carried The gal
liant sailor had requested that mantle
be thrown over him, SO that, as they
passed through the decks, he might
not be recognized, lest his crew should
lose heart in the desperate struggle.
Around him, in the moment of death
and of victory, stood few of his iaith-
ful officers waiting for his spirit to take
its flight. 1t was at Southsea that the
hero had embarked to fight the enc
mics of his country. The 81 is now
marked by one OF the .'Victory's" old
anchors; and to the same spot, later,
came the returning boats in solemn
procession, one of them bearing the re-
mains of the hero of Trafalgar What
contrast! England can well afford
generous honors to such naval chief

In the gambling suits at Shreve-
port, recently, Judge Hicks, after
reviewing the legal authorities and
making reference to article %, ap-
proved Feb. 5, 1888, said: "Section
6 Of act u makes the keeping Of a
gambling house or playing banking
game D crime and misdemeanor
therefore whoever keeps a gambling
house in which a game of any kind
is played at which money or any
thing representing money, or any
article of value is bet or hazarded, or
aids or assists in keeping one, wheth-
er the capital or stake is owned or
furnished by the house or players,
keeps banking house in the true
sense of this law" He further
states that, 1T is the keeper, dealer,
exhibitor, superintendent, etc., who
is punished, not for gambling but for
keeping and exhibiting a game for
the purpose of obtaining bettels,
and "it is evident that there is no
law in this State directly prohibiting
gambling. Each game played is
distinct offense and the proof of one
game is sufficient. ."-Ex.

A Suggestion to Newsdealers.

A New York correspondent OF the
New Haven NeWs writes that he had
occasion to use copy OF daily paper
of certain date in 1875 and was un-
able to procure one at the office OF pub
lication. Back copies are not kept on
sale. At last he discovered that
former newsboy, Robert Budd, made a
business of dealing in old papers. The
necessary paper was obtained:
Budd's history, or rather that of his
business, is peculiar. He is coal
black negro, with an intelligent face
and a remarkable faculty for estimating
the value of his wares. Although he
has regular price-list, his prices vary
according to what he thinks may be
the value of the paper to the would-be
buyer. Some months ago there was a
law case which required the present
ment in court either of certain news
paper or Of a certified copy of an arti-
Gle covering several pages in small
tvpe. Budd was the only man in the
city who could furnish the paper; ne
asked 800 for it, although it was not
ten years old, and had originally cost
him but 9 cents, and the sum was paid,
for the certified copy would have cost
still more.
Five years ago Budd had a boot
bTacking stand on Broadway, near 30th
street. and at the same time sold news
papers. He was struck with the num-
Der of demands made upon him for
copies two or three days, or week, or
even month old, and he had the idea
of adding to his business that OF old
newspapers. That there is demand
for old newspapers is amply shown by
the business he has built up. AT pres
ent he occupies large cellar, the walls
of which are lined with newspapers
tied up in bundles, each bundle con-
tanning the copies of one month Of
each paper. There is tag attached to
each bundle giving the month and
year.
AS he still keeps up his newspaper
stand he of course gets his papers at
cost price, and when person really
wants a paper there is fine chance for
profit. Every day Budd puts away
twenty copies of the Herald, twenty
copies of the Sun, ten of the World,
Times, and Tribune each, and five cop
les Of each Of the evening newspapers.
His schedule of prices is supposed to
be as follows: For papers .hree days
old, double the price; for papers week
old, 10 cents; for papers a month Old,
% cents; for papers year old. 81; for
papers more than a year old, l.25 adj
ditional for every year. lie has many
complete files Of papers Of great value,
and his business is profitable.

HarperEille, Miss.

For some time the people of IIar-
peryille have been anxious to hear
Rev. Mr.. J. II. Gambrell lecture
upon the subject of temperance, and,
particularly, upon the subject of
Prohibition, its objects, its means of
accomplishing the desired end, and
its justification. On yesterday and
last night we had the pleasure of
having that desire gratifed, for Mr..
Gambrell came out and lectured at
eleven A. NJ. and at seven and half
P. NJ. to large, intelligent and ap-
preclatiye audiences; and We feel
that much good has been done for
the cause Of temperance already,
and that as the result of those two
earnest, logical and unanswerable
lectures, much more good will
accrue to the noble cause which he
so earnestly, but fairly, espouses.
In the morning he argued total
abstinence from a Bible standpoint,
showing clearly by direct proof from
the Bible that total abstinence is en-
joined upon Christians. Mr.. Gam
brell took the position that he would
not undertake to say upon that oc-
casion what a man, and particularly
member Of the church, should DO
in this matter of temperance. but he
would give thus saith the Lord for
every position which he assumes.
He proved clearly to the satlsfac-
ton Of the auditors that there are
two classes Of wine spoken of in the
Bible, and that the kind which the
Savior used when he instituted the
Lords Supper was not fermented,
and consequently not intoxicating.
At night he showed the personel
of Prohibition and its justification.
After having arrayed his mighty
force of ministers, school teachers,
women, doctors and lawyers as en-
gagged in the warfare Of temperance,
to complete the climax, Mr.. Gam
brell exclaimed, "These are the per-
sons who pray, and knowing they
are right, they feel sure God Will
assist them to fight, and that they
will come off victorious" His argu-
ments for its justification were based
on the idea of deliverance and re-
moyal from temptation.
Mr.. Gambrell is the right man in
the right place, lie is 50 bold and
yet SO fair in his denunciations of
the whisky traffic that he never fails
to carry conviction. He is very rich
and happy in illustration and anec-
dote, and not only entertains and
pleases his audiences, but instructs
and conyinces them.
We are determined to organize
here, send up delegates to the State
Convention, and help to
do whatever we can in eradicating
this hydra headed monster from the
land.
