Twice Married in One Year.


did you make any notice of Mr..
IS marriage the other dayp" asked
licensed minister of a reporter. On
being informed that the customary
newspaper write-up had been provid-
ed, he said: That's twice this year
that the groom has led blushing
bride to the hymeneal altar and been
Joined for good or bad. performed
the ceremony myself less than year
ago. He is a poor man in every thing
except wives, for when he came to me
to be married no did not have coat,
and IFS place was supplied with a sort
of workingman's blouse. His father
in-law at that time paid for the mar
riage license, and he has failed yet to
pay me for performing the ceremony,
so you see it was mighty cheap getting
married for him. don't know how
much it cost him this time. but he has
probably sponged his wedding off
somebody else. I'll venture to say he
did not get his divorce quite so cheap
E." The county clerks office also
shows that the same man got a third
license just Il short time ago, but for
some reason did not consummate The

Color Blindness q Brain Affection.
The Medical Press,

The Medical Press,
Professor Ramsay believes that the
particular defect giving rise to color
blindness lies, not in the eye itself,
but in the brain. Certain persons,
he points out, are incapable Of judg-
ing which of two musical tones is the
higher, even when they are more
than an octave apart. Yet, as such
persons hear either tone perfectly,
the defect is not one Of deafness. He
accordingly argues that in such per-
sons the brain is at fault, and thence
proceeds to the assumption that it
may be equally true that the ina
bility to perceive certain colors is not
due to a defect in the instrument of
sight by the eye, but to the power of
interpreting the impressions conveyed
to the brain by the optic nerve. If
this is the case, the problem is no
longer physical one. Itfallsamong
those with which the mental physi-
ologist has to deal.

The Coming Man.

The progress of society is not in
straight line, leading farther away
from the starting-point; nor is it
around a circle, continually passing
over the same ground. 1t is rather
ikea spiral, whose sinuous curve is
always going through the same social
lititude as the preceding cycle, but at
a higher longitude. 1t does not
proceed through absolutely new fields,
but simply through new parts of the
old fields. 1t is always. opposite to
some point of former attainment, but
commands q more extended view
and embraces a more comprehensive
situation. Some travellers along this
highway look only to the right and
consequently are impressed only
with the recurrence Of old scenes,
therefore concluding that the world
moves in q straight line constantly
away from the initial point. But
there are some who look both to the
right and the left, and appreciate the
true nature of the course, the true
nature of the curve.
Every now and then the car of
social progress swings around through
the fields Of agriculture, among the
tillers Of the soil, the real bread
winners. Each successive cycle finds
them more enlightened and more
ambitions. Each successive round
has found the farmer standing upon
q higher plane, possessing broader
iatellectualities, nobler purposes, in
the same lititude, but in higher
longitude. No calling ever received
more rapid advancement than that of
farmers in the recent past. More
general education has given them
more general capacity. Learning
has made them more thirsty and
more ambitious. Organized associa-
ton has given them broader notions
of social relations and governmental
conditions. And when education,
learning, and association shall have
done as much for them as for those
in other vocations, and shall have
made them intellectual peers with
the rest of mankind, then the impor-
lance offheir industry will suggest,
and the strength of their numbers
will obtain, their promotion. Pend
ing cooperative methods will affect
existing commercial systems, modify
them, possibly reverse them. And
when these new methods are rid of
their natural mistakes and trimmed
of their youthful follies when the
quiet revolution is effected, the Amer
lean farmer will be the American
statesman.

tauqua Association, by Congressman
Mckinley, on the Tariff, is IA very strong
and very interesting presentation OF the
protective side OF that issue, and there
fore we award an unusual amount Of
space to it this morning, The associa'
ton before which it was delivered is OF
course non.partisan, having recently in
vited Speaker Carlisle to favor the Geor-
gia public with his views on the same
subject. Mr.. McKinlcy's remarks are
of character to make wholesome i'm.

old Wing State and the foremost State

much to suggest to all intelligent people
down there whether it is not about time
to let reason hold sway over prejudice,

ocratic party for those Democrats who
are really coerced by public opinion on
the negro question to vote for a man this
year who does not represent their tariff
views at all.

The Register calls attention to the bet
ter feeling and upward tendency in thr
wool market at this present time us q
vindication OF the Mills bill. According
TO that profound paper there has been Il
conspiracy to keep down the price in the
interest ofprotectlon and this conspiracy
has Just been burstcd into fragments by
the great law Of supply and demand,
and thus the price is improved.
OF course the inference from all this
nonsense is that the effort to put wool
on the free list has had no effect what
ever to depress the price, and il the
Mills bill had only become law we
should probably have seen higher prices
still. This reasoning is Of piece with
all the stuff that has appeared in that
paper on wool since the introduction OF
the Mills bill.
People, however, who are not in the
lisagreeable fix of the editor of the
Register, OF being obliged to seek Il false
reason when there is a true one at hand,
know beyond all doubt that it is the fact
that the Republican Senate stands be-
tween the wool grower and the Mills
hill, to prevent that bill from becoming
law, that has inspired this better feel
ing in the market. Ii the Mills bill had
