KNOCK demaguguery out of such men as Norwood and CarlLee and you will have nothing left. Full of bombast, b!gstry and bias, they revel in misrepresentation, machinaton and malediction, until 1t is simply impossible for them to do justice to themselves or any one else. The people have thelr eyes open and es. timate such men at their true worth.

A MAN WITH 5000 WIVES.

Muley Hassan, the present Sultan
of Morocco, lives a retired life at his
capitals of Fee and Morocco, and
rarely ever appears in public to his
subjects, while it is still less seldom
that any European can obtain a view
OF his august person. He assembled
the throne on the death of his father,
Sid Mohammed, which occurred on
the 10Th of September, 1886, at the
age of a little more than 30, when,
already distinguished for his personal
valor and good generalship, he 1e-
teated his rivals and stringently put
down all attempts at revolt. He is
now 10 years of age, though his com
handing figure would almost make
one think him great deal less, did
not his face wear lines that show not
only the steady approach of years,
but also shows signs of pain and suf-
fering. He possesses 5000 wives,
whom he keeps in harems at Fee,
Morocco and Methues. He also has
a travelling harem which constantly
attends him. His life is simple, as
is all life in Morocco; but at the
same time, when occasion demands,
he can appear in such state as scarce
ly court in Europe can rival.

The tricks of the politicians are
many and subtle. Not long ago a
Congressman, whose name is not Civ

and asked him to appoint a certain
man postmaster in a certain town.
The Postmaster General replied that
he had determined to appoint the
widow of a gallant Federal soldier.
The Congressman saw his opportuni-

A Coon WAY TO Boom A Town.
1t is a recognized fact, says the
Americas Recorder, that towns and
cities, these days, are not made by
location and natural growth. The
age is too progressive to wait upon
the processes Of nature. However
favorable the location of town, un-
less there is enterprise, energy and
liberality behind it, its growth must
be slow and uncertain, and it is like
ly to be left behind in the race by
towns with less favorable advantages.
Findlay, Ohio, with all its advan-
tages OF natural gas and free fuel,
has discovered that, that alone is not
all that is necessary, and the proper
ty owners of that city held meeting
lately and pledged themselves to put
one tenth Of their holdings in the
hands of a trustee tor sale, the pro-
ceeds to be used in aiding in the
building of new factories and rail-
roads. The sum thus appropriated
is estimated at 100000. These prop
erty owners will get their money all
back and handsome dividend with
in twelve months by the increased
valuation of their property.
The property owners OF Marietta
will please ponder over the above.
