AN UNSOUND ARGUMENT.

The argument that "it is proflta-
BILE, there is money in it," used by
the Government in support Of some
of its measures, is no new one; il
has been inherited from previous
administrations, but has become q
little intensified perhaps by mix
ture with new blood. 1t seems to
be somewhat popular argument in
this country. We rene nber that
one of the strong pleas made for
licensing opium was, that it would
be the means of considerable re.
venue to the country, thai there was
money in it for the Government.
The same argument has been used
in support Of the liquor traffic. Cor
respondents have harped upon it in
the columns of the Bull ETIN until
the 'sick monkey" has squirmed.
Lately the old argumei t has been
rehashed in the House and on the
streets, as "clincher'' in favor of
certain Government prof cts. Nei-
ther its antiquity, its FEASIBILITY,
nor its popularity satisfies US of its
validity.
A merchant, n shop. keeper, a
lawyer, a printer, or any other class
of tradesman or profes ional man,
keeps his business or pTHctises his
profession primarily for ghe sake of
gain or profit. He may, by his bus
mess or by his profession, supply a
public want or confer public bene-
fit; but that is not his intention,
only in so far as it will prove mutu-
ally beneficial to himself He is
not actuated by purely philanthrc-
pic motives, with himself left out OF
consideration. He serves the pub
lie for his own emolument, and when
the emolument ceases the "dear
public" may "whistle" in vain for
his services. This is business
the world over, and this is how the
world understands it.

the military forces, and may rc-or-
ganize the same in case of disband-
ing, is in violation of Article 26 of
the Constitution making the King
Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy.
1t is regretted by many that the
King has placed himself in opposi-
ton to the Legislature and the Cab
met on this subject. The Legisla-
turc alone are the judges of the ne
cessity of any military forces includ-
ing the Kings Guard itself.
The Constitution declares that
"The military shall always be sub
ject to the laws of the land. Art.
IL. The 26th Article declares that
mo military or naval force shall be
organized except by the authority
of the Legislature. The 4th Sec
ton of the bill makes the King,
"the Supreme Commander of all the
military forces of the Kingdom"
But this does not permit him to gov
ern them except under the forms of
law as prescribed by the Legisla-
ture. Neither the Sovereign of Eng
land, nor the President of the Unit
cd States has power TO appoint or
dismiss officers of the army and
navy, except in the forms prescribed
by law. The annual Act of the
British Parliament, called the Mu-
tiny Act, was made for such short
duration in order to prevent the
Grown from exercising control over
the military forces against the con.
sent of Parliament, or against the
liberties of the people. 1t is gene.

King Charles l to give his approva
to the bill for regulating the Militia

steps to the Civil War. "--Taswell
Langmead's English Constitutions
History, page 612. The illegalit,
of raising or keeping q standing
army within the Kingdom in time o

ment, is expressly declared by tn,

has been regularly repeated in th'
the Mutiny Act, passed for the frs
time in 1858, for one year only, ant
annually repeated ever since. Ever
William III was compelled to sen'

Congress makes the laws whicl

Natural GAS.

Dr. Ernest Weissenbauer, pro-
lessor of geology IN Heidelberg,
University, Germany, after q Tisit
of scientific inspection to the nat
ural gas at Findlay. O., says that |
he found the vastncss Of the gas /
deposits under Findiay greatly !
underestimated, and that under
meath the town at great depths
lay mighty cavern filed with
highly infammable gas under tre-
mendous pressure. BY means OF
experiments with delicate instru-
ments the professor has come to
the conclusion that at distance OF
only one mile between the great
gas cavity, which lies under Find
lay, fire is raging at tempera-
ture of nearly $500 degrees.
Not satisfied with the observa-
tons at one point, he took several
wells within a radius of three
miles, and claims his first obser.
vations where completely confirm
ed. He says that about 1900 feet
below the city of Findlay lies an
immense cavern. 1t is several
miles long and in some places
more than half a mile deep. This
is crowded full of gas which is I'M
der pressure almost inconceiva-
BILE. Then come several strata OF
} rock, perhaps mile in thickness,
and then this great internal fire
at temperature of over 5000 de-
grees. The last of the layers
which lies directly over the fires
is melting away. About ten miles

Cotton Seed Romance.

The "Cotton Seed Romance" is thus
told by the Atlanta Constitution:
"Was there ever q history on this side
of Cinderella of the uprising humanity
like that of the cotton seed? For seventy
years despied as nuisance, and burned
O or dumped as garbage; then discovered
to be the very food for which the soil
hungered and reluctantly admitted to the
rank of ugly utilities. Shortly afterward
found to be the nutritious food for beast
as we'll as soil, and thereupon treated
with something like respect. Once ad.
mitted to the circle of farm husbandries,
found to hold thirty.five gallons of pure
oil to the ton, worth fourteen dollars to
the ton or forty million dollars for
the crop of seed. But then a system was
devised for refining this oil up to value
of one dollar q gallon, and the frugal
Italian placed cask of it at the root of
every olive tree and then defed the
Borean breath of the Alps. And then
experiments showed that the ton ofcotton
seed was better fertilizer and a better
stock food when robbed of its thirty. five
gallons of oil than before. And that
the hulls of the seed made the best fuel
for feeding the oil mill engine. And
that the ashes of the hulls acooped from
the engine drift, had the highest COM
mercial value as potash. And that the
"refuse" of the whole made the best and
purest soap stock to carry to the tot ct,
the perfumes of Lubin or Colgate
Abont this time we began to spell cotton
seed with capital letters"

The Dead Alive.

BIRM1NeHAM, Ala, Oct. IA
remarkable and long legal contest Of a
will has just been ended in most
unexpected manner in Winston county,
Ala. Twelve years ago Charles ii.
Baker; Was known as the richest man in
Winston. He owned several large
plantations and store, from which be
supplied the small farmers for miles
around. He discounted notes and in
other WAYS accumulated large fortune,
a considerable portion of which was cash;
Baker was then living with his second
wife and two children, also three sons by
former wife.
In the summer of 1873 Baker went
to Memphis, Tenn, where he always sold
his cotton and did bis banking. When
the yellow fever broke out in Memphis
he was caught there, and could not return
home on acconnt of the rigid quarantine
regulations. After the fever had been
raging several weeks, Bakers name one
day appeared among the list OF new cases
and soon afterward the family heard that
he was dead. =,
Then his widow filed for probate will
which left her aud her children the
principal part of Bakers fortune, and
made her administrator without bond
Bakers sons by his first marriage
contested the viii, and ten years of bitter
and expensive litigation followed, the
final result being that the widow and hel

lawyers had left them. The three sons
Immediately secured an injunction
restraining Mrs. Baker from taking charge
of the property, claiming that they hae
secured evidence of later will Th'
day after the Injunction was served Chas
a. Baker himself, now very old man
appeared. at the old homestead ant

It seems he did not die ofyellow fever
