Mark Twain and the Mule.
st. Louis Republican.1

Mark Twain and 1 were riding across
Missouri once, when our horses broke
down. We stopped at Hannibal and got
a good, large horse, but Mark could find
nothing better than little mule. Well,
we left Hannibal and soon came to q
creek much swollen by late ra ms. Mark
told me to go first, which did. 1t deep
ened rapidly and my big horse was soon
swimming. / had the reins of Marks
mule. and, looking back, could barely see
the mules head, and the water was well
around Marks shoulders. After a little
trouble we reached the other side. Mark
sat n bis mule a moment, when, without
q word, he dismount~d, and, coming to
my side, laid his hand on my knee, and,
looking earnestly in Cy face, said:
"George, believe that mean little muls
waded every step across"

THERE NEED be no mIstaking the drift
Of presidential action as evidenced in
the late pension yetOes. The disCrimi-
nation against the private pension bills
passed by the senate as cOntrasted with
those passed by the house Is most
marked. The reply of the senate's com
mittee on pensions to the animadyer-
sions oft president in his veto message
Is decidedly caustic, reminding one OF
some Of the correspondence that passed
between that august b93y and his acci-
dency, ALdy johnson. One thingis GER
tain: there is no love lost between Mr..
Cleveland and the senate OF the United
States. Mr.. Cleveland is a man Of in
grain stubbornness OF nature and having
committed himself to the policy Of work
ing upon the southern sympathies for
the purpose OF denomination will not be
very lik ely to modify in any particular
the line OF policy he has marked out for
himself. So long as every veto he places
upon a union soldiers pension bill is re-
ceiyed with loud praises at the south,
so long may the country expect to see
such yetoes multiply and the bitterness
intensity between himself and that
branch OF The national government
which distinotively represents the old
union policy Of dealing with the nations

The Sham and the Real.

Every good thing has II host OF imi-
tators; every genuine article is counter
feits. Bad manners and wicked habits
have theirs also; but he who shams the
bad never boasts Of Ii, while they who
ape the virtues Of the good or simulate
the genuine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their
most alluring tones. When these peo-
pie initiate they always choose a pro-
nOunced type or popular subject to copy
from; and when they claim to be as good
as "So-and So" or to sell an article
equal to 80 and-sO," the public may
depend upon it that MIR. "So-and-sO"
and his article are always the best Of the
kind. Thus the sham lie always proving
the genuine merit OF the thing it copies.

An Important Function stimulated.

The kidneys exercise most important func-
lions, which are so wearisome that they tax
to the utmost the strength and endurance of
these busy little organs. Every breath, every
pulsatiOn of the heart, every movement of a
limb, every thought makes waste and neces-
states the development of new atoms. The
used up particles In the blood are sifted from
IL and dissolved in watery fluid by the kid
nCys, which then discharge this fluid into the
bladder. A train of disasters to the system
would follow, if these ashes" so to speak
were not thoroughly strained or and dis
charged. This is the case when the kidneys
become inactive. HOstetters Stomach Bitters,
by restoring their activity, not only keeps
most important outlet for impurities, but
prevents diseases of the kidneys themselves,
which, when inert, become liable to fall a prey
to diabetes, Bright's disease, mephitis, albu-

dent to them, which, although not specially

IT HAS so long been assumed that free
trade is to the interests of the farming
classes that nearly all discussion on this
subject accepts this fact as one to be re-
ceived without question. There is no
greater fallaCy. The farmer who can
market his product the nearest to the
fields in which it is grown is bound to
receive the highest price for his labor,
rs the cost of transportation is to be de.
Quoted from his profits in any event, and
stands as lien against labor to just
that extent. Wherever manufacturing
is carried on to any considerable extent
there population centers. and a pOpula-
tiOn too that is not engaged in soil till
ing. This population is to be supplied
with what 1t eats, drinks and wastes by
the agrioulturists, and thus market is
created for the consumption of farm
products wherever manufacturing en-
terprises are established. In these
home markets the price OF all farm pro-
ducts, Of market garden, grain field,
stock yard, orchard-are enhanced In
value by the addition of just what it
would cost to transport this product 10
some other market, more remote. The
farmers who favor free trade theories
are not wisely considerable of their own
Interests. Concerning these the At
lanta Constitution in its recent issue,
says: "When the farmers of this seq
ton perceive, as they soon will, that
protection is necessary to the building
up Of southern industries, and that
there Industries are necessary to give
them better and nearer markets for
their products, We shall hear little about
free trade from those who assume to
represent Georgia in congress" For

THERE is no subject that so closely
concerns every citizen Of San Antonio
as the proper and efficient maintenance
Of her public schools. These schools are
the mental nurseries of our future citi-
zens;our merch ants, laborers, professional
men and mechanics; the future mothers
wifes and instructors Of this city are be-
ing trained or mistrained in our public
schools. These schools and their man.
agement are the most serious RESPONSE
bility entrused to us, and yet too often
their interests are set aside for mere
momentary considerations and their eff
fciency marred by the interruption Of
political manipulatOrs. A liberal policy
Is essential to the well being OF the con-
duct Of these schools. They are well
called public, because they are main
tanned for the benefit of the public, I'M
der school directors chosen by the pub
lie, with money drawn from the public
treasury. They should be as public in
the conduct of their business as they
are public In their design. The state,
the city, can never feel too much inter-
est in her public schools. The most lib
eral financial policy, the most enlighten-
ed conceptions OF educational work, the
most careful selection of teachers. the
wisest supervision Of these teachers and
their methods are absolutely demanded
in order to thoroughness in training and
that inspiration to study which charac-
terizes the true education. When these
examinations now in progress are COM
pleted and the teachers have been Sc
lected for the years work, let the school
board see to it that they are thoroughly
furnished with all the appliances neces-
sary to effective training and paid a fair
compensation for the work performed.

The idea of Prof Horsford was indeed a

of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of

It Is frequently asserted that GER
tain laws cannot be enforced. This
would be q bad state of affairs in
any community, II 1t were true;
but ninety-nine times out Of one
hundred it Is not true. There are
but few localities where the law
lessness is 20 great that the people
will refuse to obey the legal enact
ments of the State or Nation. In a
large proportion Of cases the fault
lies with the officials; they either
wink at violations or there is an
agreement with the violators that
they are to pass them without
notice. We have known Q number
Of sad commentaries on the lives of
the executors Of the law, bearing
on this subject. A very few men
pass through the responsible sta
tions in our municipal responsible
ties without injury to themselves
morally, because Of the temptations
presented by the criminal classes;
but the large body of the people are
willing to obey the laws, If the
officials show q desire to enforce
them.

This Is the last wall of the whisky
politicians. High license Is a fraud.
The people of Blount County have
just tested it In the last year. The
county charged Mr.. Tunnel $500 for
license to sell liquor, and the result
has been disastrous, financially and
morally. The county received $500
while the result to the people
has been very disastrous. A large
number of men have been in Jail at
the county expense, while If the
law had been rigidly enforced, not
less than 500 or 1000 commitments
would have been made at a fearful
cost to the tax payers. Without a
saloon not a dozen of commitments
to jill would nave occurred. So
that. in the light of experience, the
"last wall" of the friends of whisky
is a fraud, practiced on the unsus-
pecting people who only see the
money coming into the treasury,
but are blinded to the money going
out and the husbands and sons be-
ing ruined. God alone knows the
number of signs, tears, groans and
heartaches OccasiOned in Blount
County by the one high-licensed sa-
loon at Maryville.
