Joel Parker, the Democratic ex-gov-
ernor of New Jersey, who died recently,
weighed 300 pounds, and there is little
doubt that his death was fastened by his
enormous appetite. He always gratified
his tastes to the uttermost, and never
stopped to inquire whether an article of
food was good for him or not. He was
the wonder Of the walters at every hotel
and restaurant where he dined. He inva-
riably went twice through the bill of
fare. He was the last to finish at din
ner, yet SO admirable seemed his diges-
ton that after out eating all the other
guests he could make capital speech,
full of unctuous humor and sound COM
mon sense. He drank very little, water
being his favorite beverage, and there
fore his head was always clear, even if
his stomach was overloaded. Chicago

overpowsring superstitious Waiter

A traveller obtained a satisfactory
breakfast at southern hotel in am inge-
NOUS manner. Having called for differ
ent items on the bill of fare with the UNI
failing result Of hearing ''all gone, sab, -
he fixed stern look upon the colored
waiter and exclaimed in deep tones: 'Do
you know where you will go when you
die?' The waiter trembled, and did not
reply, but he turned away, and with dis
patch brought out a smoking breakfast of
chicken and other features Of a good
meal. 1t seems that he had reserved
these delicacies for himself, but had been
touched by superstition TO produce them
for the traveller. Chicago Times.

The Senate of the United States
has passed bill providing for COM
pulsory education of certain tribes of
Indians. Why is this done? Is an
uncivilized Indian away off in one
corner more dangerous than illiterate,
half-civilized citizens with the ballot
in his hand that will decide the desti-
ny of this great country. The Indian
is ruled by the bayonet. The igno-
rant men of the South rule the coun-
try, Should not Congress give some
attention to the education of the ig-
norant masses in the South?
Our Democratic neighbors give
themselves much concern about the
management of the Republican party
and our differences. Some of us do
not understand why that is, but
we can easily see the cause: These
democratic editors and local bosses
have no more to do with their own
party management than we, and are
not allowed to dabble, as everything
has been arranged. Their candidate for
president was named year ago and
they dare not suggest change when
they want it; but being disposed to
NEEDLE they interfere with our bust
ness.

not compete with it. The result is
seen in the shutting down of the
two Salem mills. That other jute
manufacturers will follow the ex-
ample of the Salem mills is not to be
doubted, as the demand for the man
ufactured product is practically dead.
The moral of this tale would seem
to be that industries protected 50
high as to form a basis for trust
combinations do not in the end help
the workingmen employed in them
The FIVE hundred idle men in Salem
and other hundreds employed in the
same business who will be idle in The
near future will fail to see wherein
an industry that is protected until
it initiates itself out Of existence has
made them richer or happier.
