The VENAL SOUTHERN VoTE.-
And now comes John Sherman and
complains that one Russell A. AL
ger, and other persons to him I'M
known, bought, bribed or lured
away from his fold some fifty
Southern delegates who before that
had promised to vote in conven-
ton for him, the sand John Sher-
man.
Men and brethren, LET us cOnsld-
err these things. Here is a party
which boasts of its morality and
processes to stand for the highest
ideal of patriotism, and yet we find
its leaders trafifking in votes.
From 1876 until 1888, in four ma
tlOnal conventions, the Southern
deIegates:haye been in the market,
and have voted for the highest bid
der. They have been bought and
sold like slaves in the shambles.
From every convention The South
ern delegates have gone back home
laden with spoil. And yet these
same Republicans are bowling be-
cause the people OF the South, who
know these rascaIs, will not submit.
TO their political domination.
Let every honest citizen at The
North look ut this thing as it is.
Here are a lot of of men who may
well be supposed TO be the best rep
resentative of the negro vote in
the South. What are theyg Mere
merchandise - bought and sold in
convention by, this candidate or
that. And when one candidate,
by superior force OF "bar'l,' gets
them, there follows an cutlery as if
somebody had not played fair.

THR ssCoRNER,, RULE.

The Chicago Grain Receivers association has made notable move in repeating the "corner" rule, the repeal to go into effect June 1. This provides that "any member proven guilty of manipulating market value just damages, or for the purpose of avoiding payment ofIjust obligations, shall be expelled from tho Board ot Trade"
 The reasons given for repeating this ap- parently wise and useful rule are interesting. It is claimed that everything is now in favor of the seller under its working and that heavy capitalists have hammered the life out stuff on it which they knew could not be taken, thus forcing market values down and enabling them to control prices. The rule, it was claimed, legislated against the buyer and protected the destructive short seller. The discussion carried on at the meeting of the association revealed the fact that in the opinion of that body the short sellers were
 "wreckers and worse than county boodlers," [" that ''they needed the penitentiary worse than the boedlers," and that f'they were worse than thieves and burglars" They, therefore, decided to repeal the "corner" rule.
 After June 1, therefore, the ''short" seller of grain in Chicago can be twisted" "cor- nered' and otherwise naltreated without let or hindrance, and the price of grain can be raised as high as anybody is willing and able to pay for lifting it. It is pretty evident that the abolition of the "corner" rule was brought about in order to increase specula-- ten and make the market livelisr. The Providence Journal hits the mark when 1t says The fact that the market has been going against the "bull" element in speOula- ton is no more justi6sble reason for remov- ing wholesome and apparently just rule than would an adverse movement for the s'bear" element be a sufficient cause for de. 1 manding the repeal of just legislation which might conflict with their interests. The nor ality of the buyer and seller is the same in the matter of speculation. Each aims to fleece the other, and the tactics of both are often extremely reprehensible and alike detrimental to the best interests of legiti- mate trade.

coming seSdy looking individual, socially and peculiarly the very aatipodss of the first, but he is pufSng away cententedly at would puzzle the State analyst to discover. The first man stops. 'tCan you oblige me with some fret" he asks. "Why, certainly" responds the ssedy one, and with the cour> teous action of Brummsl, he removes his cigar from his lips, knocks of the ash, and hands it to the well to do citizen. Then and there the 1.-two for" and the Straight Havana" meet and mingle their fires and aromas, and with mora polite bows the two men pass on.
 In the Cuban islands there are special and strict forms of etiquette relative to this un- iversal practice of smoking. Should gen. tleman stop another on the street to ask 8 light he would construe a refusal to oblige him into direct and intentional insult. But having once held between his fingers the partly consumed cigar of whose fire he has
 been borrowing, the owner thereof would be as deeply hurt and offended were he to offer to return it. No, he must, instead, open his cigar case and proffer fresh weed in return for the fire.
 To connoisseura in cigars the reason for this act is obvious. A cigar which has been bruised against another in the act of Hght> ing it loses 8 considerable portion of the delicaey of it's favor, and should that one against which it is thus rubbed be of an in. ferior flavor and aroma, these qualities in itself are, to delicate taste, completely destroyed. It must be rather irritating ] under these latter circumstances to have to lose an exquisite 'swsed" for the sake of a strange etiquette which commands the ! acceptance of a cigar of much inferior | flavor and value. However, a breach of \ this point is never made, and a well bred ! Cuban would die sooner than show any irri- | tation.
 In most European countries, with the ex- | ceptioR, perhaps. of cigarette smoking Spain,
 the street etiquette of smoking is muck less ! severe. The majority of smokers in England, for instance, carry matches in their pockets,
 and should passing smoker with unlit pipe
 or cigar request light, it is 8 match that is
 handed to him. Small boys throng the streets of all big English towns selling boxes ooa- tsining two hundred and fifty wax vests
 matches for two cents; there is coHse | auently very little excuse for a smoker te
 be without light. The rainy and windy conditions of the climate are equally wei l provided against for smokers by 'fusees,
 "vesuvians," ''famers," which are varie'
 ties of matches having large heads compos:
 ed of gunpowder paste, which will rsmaii ignited until consumed in any kind of weath CT.

Sir Edward Sullivan is one of the many Englishmen who do not believe in free trade. Writing to the London Post he says: Under free trade the masses must get poorer, be- cause they get less employment. A well known statistical work gives comparison of the material progress of France under protec- ton and England under free trade. If there is any truth in figures it ought to startle us from our free trade dream. The comparison is based on the returns of legacy duty: In 1926 England was los. head richer than France. In 1859 England was 19s. head richer than France. In 1877 England was 5s. head poorer than France. France has 57 per cent. of her land under tillage and it is diminishing every year, but the population of England increases much mere rapidly than the population of France. The commerce of England has increased 21 per cent. in ten years. The commerce of France has iacreas- ed s9 per cent. in ten years. The commerce. of the United States has increased 68 pez cent. in ten years. The commerce of the whole world has increased 38 per cent in ten years

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undsturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; to know that no poisonous putrid matter defles lhe breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not through it's veins and arteries, suck up the poison that Is to undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond all other human enjoy ments To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

It has long been asserted that women could not invent things, but women are beginning to appear on the list of applicants for patents in England. Among the patentees of a week ago were Louisa Laurence, of London, for an invention of Improvements in letter and bill fles;" Elizabeth Aspinwall, of Birkenhsad, for an invention of polishing and cleaning laundry irons and fatirons;" Florence King, of West Ksnsington Park, for an invention of "feeding spoons for infants and iRvalids."
 The people of London drink mere mild drinks than they used to. During the past forty-seven years the average annual oen- sumption of tea per capita of the entire peP- ulation has increased from less than pound
 and @ quarter to nearly five pounds. and of cocoa from about an ounce and a quarter to
 nearly half pound, while the use of coffee
 has fallen of slightly, from seventeen ounces to thirteen ounces. The total consumption
 of these three leading non-alcoholic drinks
 has thus increased nearly thres-fold; the ex- act Egures are from 9S.0s ounces to .04
 ounces per capita annually.
 Some of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton's re- marks are attracting good deal of attention. They are as follows: ''I have often said to | men of the present day that the next genera ton of women will not stand arguing with you ss patiently as we have for half een-
 tury. The organizations throughout the l country are holding out their hands to wo- men. The time is not far distant when, If | men do not do justice to women, the women | will strike hands with labor, with socialists, I with anarchists, and you will have the scenes of the revolution of France acted over again I in this republic" Mrs. Stanton evidently
