BREATHE FREELY NOW.

Al last Mrs. Harrison has de-
cided what dress she will wear at
the inaugural ball. Oh, heavens,
how we are relieved! And the
world of fashion can now breathe
easy. Schools for idiots, for insane,
for the dumb and blind are estab-
lished, why not have national insti-
tutes for damphools as well? Or
rather homes on tens of thousands of
acres, for they seem to fill half the
houses of cities, ojudge by the city
papers which devote columns of
horrid trash to society news. That
in world where there is so much
to do, so many souls to be saved
from Hades, and bodies from starva-
ton and nakedness, any consider
able number of sane people can be
found to take the slightest interest
in such accursed folly is deplorable
beyond all power of words to ex-
press. 1t beggars description.

Is Consumption Incurable.

Read the following: Mr.. G. H.
Morris, Newark, Ark, says; "Was
down with abscess of the lungs and
friends and physicians pronounced
me an incurable consunptive. Be-
gan taking DR.. Kings new discovery
for consumption, am now on my
third bottle and able to oversee the
work on my farm. 1t is the finest
medicine ever made"
Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio,
says: "Had it not been for DIR. Kings
new discovery for consumption l
would have died of lung troubles.
Was given up by the doctors. Am
now in the best of health" Try it.

THE old fool law that excludes a
witness becauSe of n few cents in
terest, yet receives him no matter
how much prejudiced has been gem
orally abolished. Prejudice friend
ship, hatred and the like weigh in
tinitely more with mankind than
does interest of pecuniarY nature.
After all, good character should be
the grand safeguard against accusa-
tion and desideratum in the witness.
The testimony of NO number of
scoundrels should weigh in the
least againsta man whom his neigh
bors believe incapable Of the offense
charged. We all know persons of
whom we say, "they are incapable
of such a thing"

THE simplest tools are the best,
is rule with mechanics. The
greatest device ever used tO open
safesby burglars is little pear shap-
ed, six inch long thung Of the best
steel in the world, with a sharp
point where hegins thread that
runs clear TO the big end. This
point inserted in the smallest crew
fee and the tool being turned with
the direction Of the thread will
burst the strongest door ever made,
with a slight eraokling sound. And
thus this simple device has rendered
almost as naught the toll OF years to
invent burglar proof safe doors.

THE Chicago News calls attention
to the enormous fall in the value of
English landed property and the
consequent revival Of British agri-
culture. English journals some
time ago said that improved British
land was selling quite as low as wild
land in the vicinity of Australian
and New Zealand towns. The
cause of this is said to be a fall in
rents, and wages as well as in cost of
fertilizers and the general use of la
Dor saving Implements.

COMING.

'Tis clear that modern inventions
and Improvements are bringing all
nations and peoples not only closer
but more alike. Opinions that
formerly clashed have subsided into
harmony. Many great fundamental
questions have been settled on the
principle of doing as we would be
done by. In fact this golden rule
may be regarded as the constitution
of the moral universe. 1t seems
quite plain now that in the course of
one or two centuries there will be
little or no difference of opinion on
many great important questions
still dividing society. Governments
will assimulate and concord will
reign, for who can believe that civil
lied men will deliberately arm in
vast numbers to shoot each other
DOWN. Heaven speed the mil
lennium.

WHAT is the difference between
stealing an article from a cotempo-
rary newspaper and merely putting
Eek" at theend OF it? OF course he
who does this first concerning an
article is to blame for all the cOnse-
qUences. Many original articles of
this journal are taken bodily by sew
eral papers and no pretense of credit
given. 1t is mean and discourteous
to do this, and contrary to the esprit
de corps that should pervade the

LOCAL LAWS

No better way to incorporate
towns has ever been found than by
having broad, comprehensive, gen.
eral statute on the subject. Then,
instead of every town having a diff
ferent government and being like
other states or foreign to each other,
all of certain populations, numerical
ly, will be alike. The statute will
be the charter. Local legislation is
denounced by the experience of all
old states.

Cotton Mills colniag South.

There were 40 cotton mills In
operation in the Southern States in
1880. There are now $50. The In.
crease in the number Of mills Is not
so great as the increase in capacity
of production. The average diyi-
dends earned by these Southern
mills will not fall below 8 per cent.
The prosperity illustrates the value
Of free raw material and the further
advantage Of bringing the mills and
the material together. AS long as
cotton shall be grown and used for
cloth, the cotton Manufacture estab-
lished in the Southern States will be

WASHINGTON, D. g., October 21.-
A number of cases presenting an
other phase of the legal controversy
which has been going on for a long
time over Virginia tax coupons were
get down for argument in the United
States Supreme court to-day, but
when the cases were reached on the
docket the Chief Justice announced
that their hearing would be post
poned until there was full bench.
The court is about equally divided
on the Virginia bond question and it
was for this reason that argument
was deferred. It is not improbable
that the new justice to be appointed
by President Harrison to take. the
place of the late Justice Matthews,
will have the casting vote in this
important questjsaA.w which has been
before the court in one form or
another for some years. The Su-
preme Court several years ago by a
close vote decided that coupons on
bonds of the State were receivable
for taxes and must be accepted by
the collectors. The State resisted
this decision and passed a law
which practically rendered the Su-
preme Courts decision of no effect
The present case came up on a suit
to test the validity OF these laws
and the whole question in dispute
may be re-opcned. No decisions of
general interest were rendered to.
