There Was a Moral Lesson in It.
Fton AZ Me,r YnrL. S,l,

from t1e NeN ORR sun
It was agreed by everybody in the car that
she was the homelieSt woman they ever saw
and the man in the seat with her probably
noticed the sly Rlances and heard some of the
whispered ordinations. He became restless
and uneasy, and by and by got up and walked
PACK to where couple Of drummers sat, and
said:
Boys, she's my wife,
'YeslH responded one
Il allow that she's homely 'nuff to scare a
fault" '
'Indeedi''
And I'll tell you the story, because there is
a great moral lesson in it. We was engaged to
be married. took her into Sarycuse to a
Fourth of July. There she met Bill Prime an
old beau of hers and to make me Jealous as
some gals will, you know, she agreed to ride
home with him 1t hit me hard, as YOU NAV
believe, and so | went out to the stable and
drove tacks into Bills harness. When they
came to start out the horse ran away Bill
jumped out and didn't get a scratch, but Mary
staid till the buggy struck BRIDE and was all
smashed up. She lost twelve teeth had her
nose broken, her mouth torn out at tile corner
an eye cocke1 up, her toes turned in, her tongue
bit half in two, and the color of her hair changed
to the brindie you now see before you"
u see the moral lesson
Not yit, you don't That came in when I
tried to give her the shake and crawl out of the
marriage. Her old dad put on the screws and
had to come to time or lose my farm and SO [
walked chalk. The great moral lesson is. never
get mad at your best gal. If you do get mad
don't make fule of yourself That's all, boys,
and hope the warning will sink deep into your

Theorists and the Race Question
There are a great many people who,
though they have never farmed, and, per
haps, have never spent a month in all upon
a farm, think that farming Is one of the
easiest things IN the world TO do success
fully, but their ideas about farming are
theoretical, and it is fortunante for them
that they have never gore into the bust
ness.
In respect TO the race question in the
south, very many northern editors are like
these theoretical farmers. They have speat
very little Of their time in the south, they
know next to nothing, in a practical way
about the race question, and yet they think
that they know all about it, and that they
could settle it without the least trouble,
and in very short while. To a southerner.
who has lived in the south all Of his life,
their views are frequently amusing.
The Philadelphia Ne,Cs is edited by one
Of these theorists. The other day it at
tempted to explain why there was some
times trouble between the whites and
the blacks of the south. One theory it
advanced was that the whites assumed that
the blacks were an inferior race. and
treated them accordingly. Well, suppose
they do. Does the NetVs believe that they
are not an inferior races Does it believe
that they are the superiors or the equals Of
the whitesl Does it treat the blacks of
Philadelphia as If they were the superiors
or the equals of the whites of that cityl 1t
is so generally admitted that the blacks are
an inferior race that it is really surprising
that the NeDs should object to their being
considered so. but it is equally surprising
that it should advance the theory that the
second cause of race disturbances in the
south is that the whites call the blacks
negroes. Nothing more need be said about
this than that the term negro Is universally
recognized, and that it is not one of con-
tempt.
These things have very little, If anything,
to do with race troubles in the south. One
of the chief reasons why such troubles
occur is that northern republicans inten-
tionally produce discomfort and stir up a
riotous spirit among the blacks in the hope,
first, of making political capital in the
north and, second of strengthening their
party in the SOUTH and in this connection
the AeCs might try to answer the following
questions: Why do northern republicans
find so little fault with the southern whites
in regard to the treatment of the blacks
where the white majority is large! Why
do they take so little interest in the blacks
when there is no election to be held in the
near future' Why is it that the philan-
thropists of the north are pretty well
satisfied with tine treatment and progress of
the southern blacks?

The Hodag was Sick.
From the Neu YORK Sun.

ITOW Tue A6tC 4 OTk sun.
We had forty minutes to wait at the depot in
St Thomas and everybody was taking it easy.
when a young man from the farm, who was
drawn there out Of curiosity, perhaps, walked
up to well-dressed man who was pacing up
and down, and began:
Say, isn't your name French?''
1T is, sir. was the reply.
You were running a show in Buffalo last
March?''
II was"
Price of admission was 25 centsY"
Exactly"
well, l was there. l went in. You had bic,
sign out saying you hal Hodag on exhibition
Bein' as had never seen one paid nv quarter
but it was an Internal swindIe There was no
Hodag there!"
All I remember. He was sick for few
days"
well, l want that quarter back, or I'll take it
out of your hide! When go in to see Hodag
the animal has got to be there or the money
comes back
Quite right, my friend calmly replied the
other. You happened to hit us when our
Hodag was sick, but We gave you a far greater
curiosity in his stead
What was it?"
The Exit. Didn't you see him?'
II saw sign over door, but didn t see no
animal"
We'll, if you didn't open the door it wasn't
my fault The Exit was there to be seen. and
everybody who saw him said he beat four
Hodags rolled into one''
us that so? Well, l was in too much of a
hurry, guess, and if have hurt your feelings
beg your pardon. An Exit isn't Hodag, but
If you were doing the best you could have
nothing to say"

But the young man put on the finishing

Everbody in the oar was on a broad grin
Meanwhile the arrhmetical husband was
making bee line for the rear of the car, when
sne called him back and asked him where he
was going.

answer.
Don't go now. George Stay here with me
for little while" (coaxingly).
All eyes were riveted upon the couple by
TINS time. We were wondering if he would
redeem himself for that most unkindest cut of
all, relative to the price of dinner for two at
Albany. He did. How did he manage TO
square himself''' you will ask.
twenty minutes later he was fast asleep
with his legs curled up on the seat and his head
pillowed in her lap.

The Terms of the New Senator's.

1t is so seldom that a new state is ad-
mitted into the union that the general pub
lie knows but little concerning the rule of
the United States Senate bearing upon the
terms Of the first senators from new states.
One-third of that body is elected every two
years Thus, the terms of twenty-five
senators, as the Senate is now constituted,
will expire in 1891, twenty-five in 1898 aud
tWenty-siK in 1895. To MAINTAIN this pro-
portion as nearly as possible the terms OF the
first senators from the new states will be
for different periods. Assuming that North
Dakota was the first of the four new states
admitted, one OF the senators from that
state will serve until 1891, and the other
until 1895. The terms of the South Dakota
| senators will expire in 1898 OF the sena-
tors from Washington one will serve until
1898, and the other until 1895, and of those
from Montana the term of one will expire
in 1891. and that Of the other in 1895. A
state legislature of new state cannot elect
| a senator for certain term, nor can the
senators agree among themselves which
shall have the longer and which the shorter
term. That must be left to chance, the
senators drawing straws for their terms
The Senate has never deviated from this
rule, aud, in fact, it cannot When Mime
sofa was made state the legislature passed
a joint resolution asking that Henry 81.
Rice be given the long term. The resolu-
ton was referred to the judiciary commit
tee, which withdrew only long enough to
formulate report that In accordance with
Senate resolution of May IA, 1889, and
the constitution, the members from Mime
sofa must draw lots for the classes to
which they were to be assigned.
Curiously enough, however, Mr.. Rice drew
the long term. 1t happened that when
Colorado was admitted, Senator Teller drew
the short term, and that the time from
his entrance into tho Senate to the expira-
ton OF his term was only five months He
was reelected, and there was thus a case
probably unparalleled in the history Of the
country-that of United States senator
being reelected by the same legislature
that had previously elected him.

Farmers and the Tariff.

The rational farmers congress, which
has been in session at Montgomery. Ala,
and which adjourned on Friday, devoted a
good deal Of It's tine to the discussion Of the
tariff 1t finally adopted resolutions, the
meaning Of which is that 50 long as
congress maintains the policy Of a
protective tariff, farm products shall
be as fully protected as the most favored
manufacturing Industries. There can be
no reasonable objection to this position of
the farmers, though very large minority
Of the farmers congress was not willing TO
give so much encouragement to the protec-
tive tariff policy.
The farmers are the chief sufferers from
the protective tariff There are very few of
them who pro luce anything that is protected.
The prices q the products of the vast ma
jority Of them are controlled wholly by the
law Of supply and demand. The prices at
which our cotton, grain, meat, dairy pro
ducts. ETC., are sod are fixed in Europe,
except in a few localities where there is a
local demand equal to the local supply.
But the prices OF about everything that
the farmers need are influenced by the
protective policy. Indeed, that policy i'm
POSES a very heavy tax upon the farmers.
Their clothing, household furniture, farm
implements aud machinery cost a great
deal more than they would if it were not for
that policy.
The farmers are beginning to find out
that they are kept poor by this policy, and
that the manufacturers are getting rich by
it. They are therefore objecting to it.
They objected very vigorously in the recent
elections

a Society woman,s Rehnka.
From the Ladies' Home journal

rum "te LUUteS nome journal.
q few years ago a strange mistake was made
in New York society. Two ladies of the same
name gave an entertainment within a few
doors of each others houses. Many persons
got into the wrong house, The hostess who
gained that day the admiring comments of all
New York, was the one who received perfect
strangers as If they were her best
friends, and made them her friends
by that gracious reception. She
knew how awkwardly they would feel when
they found out their mistake; she did all she
could to prevent their feeling awkwardly while
with her. The other lady, less wen-bred, said
to person who had come into her house, under
mistake, Il think you have got into the
wrong house"
Yes, madam, 1 have" said he. 81 thought
before entered it that this was lady's house. IS
1t was terrible revenge, but, under the cir
cumstances, an entirely justifable one.

Fforida.s Bright Prosnects.

People who are in position to form a
correct opinion agree that the travel to
Florida the coming winter will be very
great It viii probably be greater than
ever before. Florida is the most convenient.
healthy and pleasant winter resort to be
reached by northern tourists, and this fact
is becoming better known each year Last
winter the tourists kept away TO a consider
able extent, owing to the yellow fever cpl
demic of the summer of 1883, but no such
cause will keep them away next season
They are anxious to go to Florida, and all
the more SO because they remained away
| last season.
Not only will tourists in search Of health
| and pleasure flock to Florida in large num-
beers, but the indications are that people
who wish to make Investments and to find
homes will greatly increase the states visi-
| tors. Florida will welcome them all, but
| she recognizes the fact that the last named
| are the most desirable visitors. The health
! AMI pleasure seekers leave a great deal OF
money in the state, but the investors and
home seekers do more than that-they help
to increase the states productions and to
develop her resources.
1t is probable that the general interests of
Florida are in better condition than over
before Formerly the growth of the state
was largely artificial. As Florida's fame
| spread, outsiders invested in her lands in q
sp eculative way, hoping to sell at profit
while the boom lasted. and the infection
was caught by residents. Values were ficti-
tious. That condition of affairs is passing
away. The interests of the state have been
multiplied, and her products are in increas-
ing demand. People are just beginning to
realize fully what the state is capable of.
TAese things being true, it is not surprising
that Floridians look forward to the coming
season as one of the most important in the
history of their state.

Senator Allison is reported to be really
apprehensive of defeat in his race for re-
election. The republican majority on joint
ballot in the legislature, according to the
official returns, cannot be more than six.
That is the number claimed by the repub-
licans, but the democrats say that two of
these six members are Independents. Fur
thermore, several straight republicans are
known to be willing to help defeat Mr..
Allison, the labor;lg men OF the state ore
said to be preparing to unite in vigorous
protest against him, and the farmers
alliance is believed to be at work again st
him. Hi7 po1ition on the tariff is one OBJ
lection that is urged to his reelection. In
order to overcome this OPPOSITE n, it is in
timated that Mr. Allison expects to get the
votes of several democrats, but if his hops
