LOCAL COMMENT.
AL dream of rest, yet very few prepare
The way for it. Along the road to gain,
Day after day, year after year, with pain
We set our marks, and think, some time to fare
To Some sweat REIN beyond the pale of care.
These goals We reach, set them ahead. and feign
Unrest anew, thus never peace attain;
Miss all its paths. nor any pleasure share.
A hundred wayside inns of vantage passed,
Footsore and weary, burdened. bent and cid,
Right Oh we plod and drag our hopes elate
Through all the mire of earth, to find, at last.
Instead # any happiness we hold,
We are but hollow mockeIies Of fate.

The Louisiana Journal, in endors-
ing Judge G. B. Mactarlane, of
Mexico, for Supreme Judge is
making no mistake. JudgeMacfar-
lane is not a politician but an hon.
est, fearless jurist, worthy of any
promotion in the line of his pro-
fession. All who know Judge
Macfarlane endorse the following
to the letter:
A thorough student of the law,
scrupulously honest in private af.
fairs, wholly incorruptible IN official
life, ,JudgeMacfarlane would make a
Supreme Judge of which not only
the Seventh district, but the entire
State would be proud. Young,
vigorous and industrious, he would
be a factor in dlsposing of the vast
amount of work that is now before
the court. We think the Seventh
district is entitled to place on the
State ticket, and, in view of the
eminent fitness of Judge Macfar-
lane for the position in question,
we think the Democrats of Missou-
ri should nominate him as Judge
Rays successor.

While D. F. Notson, Wabash
section hand, was going to his work
Friday, he was struck by the
rear car of the dirt train, knocking
him down and crushing his LETT
limb just below the knee. 1t
seems that the accident occurred
just east of the Wabash bridge,
about one and one half miles west
of town. Notson was going to his
work, walking westward along the
track; the train was backing In the
same direction. Some one of the
gang near by shouted to him, but
he evidently did not understand
what was said. This occurred at
about z a. m. He was brought to
the Wabash freight depot, where
Doctors French, Nichols, HALEY
ana Adams amputated the limb
Just above the knee. 1t is found
that Notson has two children living
at Wayland, Schuyler Co., Ill. He
is a widower,5 years Of age. The
physicians say his chances for re-
covery are exceedingly slim. Some
-55 per cent. of those whose limbs
are anputated at the thigh never
recover.

STRAP OIL FACTORY.
Major" Richardson Gets All
There was on Hand.

Joe Luckie sent "Major" Rich
ardson, colored, who works at
Luckie's marble yards, to Harrison
& Cooper's barber shop for some
'strap oil" yesterday. The negro
went to the shop and asked for
"strap OIL" Joe Harrison told
him they were too busy to make
the oil then, but to call again. He
called at hight, but as the shop was
full of customers they told him
to call early this mornlng. Rich
ardson called early this morning
and the boys in the shop were
ready for him. He said "Mr. Joe
Luckie was in a hurry for that
strap OIL" and Joe replied "all
right; you can have it now" The
coon was in earnest, but Joe Har-
rison thought he was fooling, and
in less than a second Cooper and
Harrison had Richardson down on
the floor while Bodine and the
other boys gave him ''strap oil''
until he could not walk. When
they let him go he was cured of
stammering, and will never again
ask for anything Joe Luckie tells
him to ask for.

MAHoNE's AMBITION.
HIS Virginia Campaign Stepping
Stone to the Vlce-Presldency.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. %
The true inwardness of the fight
which Malone is mailing in Vir-
ginia at the present tin o is not so
much for his election a. q vernon
as the ultimate object oI ->>uring
the vice presidential nomination in
1892. Those who make this state
! ment, and they are in position to
know whereof they speak, outline
Gen. Mahone's plans as follows:
His election as Governor wou d
justify his claim of having brok a
the "Solid South" Every Repu',-
lican paper in the North, it is b.
lieved, would Immediately ha:!
him as the little Napoleon of Vir-
ginia. With the prestige thus
gained, and forfeited with the State
and Federal patronage, Gen. Ma
hone, it Is thought, would carry a
solid Malone delegation to the
next Presidential convention. The
desire Of the Republicans to elect
their candidate without reference
to New York State would aid Ma
hone to secure the second place on
the ticket, in return for his pledge
to wheel Virginia into the Repub-
lican column.
This is said to be the real stake
for which Malone is playing.
Whether he succeeds or not will
depend very largely upon the re-
suit in the Old Dominion two
weeks hence.

.n .ho ,,osa of tho fiscal wear

AT the close of the fiscal year
there were on the pension list 4s9,-
729 names. This is 1900 more
than the standing army Of Germany.
1t is nearly a quarter of a century
since the close of the war, and yet
there were added to the list of
pensioners during last year 53,675
names, against only 16, 600 dropped
"a net gain of 81 600 There are
still pending $4,000 original
claims, besides the requests for re-
rating.
The amount paid for pensions
during the year was sSS, ,275, ,1l3,
and the heavy disbursements in
July and August Indicated an ex-
penditure for the present year of
fully s1OO,oOO,OOO. This exceeds
by nearly one half the entire cost of
the Government before the war.
1t overtops the cost of the stand
ing army of Great Britain and
nearly equals that of France. The
payments on pension account since
1861 are 81 ,O52, ,21S, ,4l3-almost as
much as the present amount of
the public debt. The increase of
pensions has outrun, in recent years,
the dinlinution of the interest
charge.

THE FARMERS TALK.
Ringing Resolutions Adopted.

The farmers attending the wheat
growers convention IN St. Louis
adopted the following resolutions:
TIRED OF USELESS "PRoTEcTIoN. +"
Resolved, By the farmers of the
States lying between theMississippi
and Missouri river valleys and OF
the States of Oregon, Washington
and California in national conven-
ton assembled:
First, That we hereby memori-
alize our national Congress and
the President of the United States
and do most seriously petition
them to make such reciprocity
treaties with those foreign nations
to whom we ship our surplus farm
products as will cause the foreign
nations to remove the customs du.
ties from our farm products ship
ped abroad, thereby causing us to
receive a higher price for our
farm surplus and thereby fixing a
higher price upon all that we sell
at home.
Second, That we ask that such
steps be taken by our national
Congress as will destroy the pres
ent existing monopolies and trusts
and prevent the formation of 9TH
ers.
Third, And to the end that we
may get our farm implements at a
less price, that the present laws be
repealed that place a duty upon
farming implements of the raw
materials used in their manufac-
ture.
Fourth, That we are more deeply
interested in the carrying out Of
the above resolutions than we are
in the success of any political par
ty.

Many of the office-seekers who

Many of the office-seekers who
followed the President to Washing
ton in March are still in that city,
hungry and hollow-eyed, waiting
for their ''infuence" to get IN its
work. Quite a number of these
people are in desperate straits,
willing to accept anything that
will give them enough money to
buy railroad ticket home. Brother
Wanamaker has evolved scheme
for employing these unfortunates
as laborers or messengers for a
month or 80, when they are ex-
pected to resign and leave town.
