01u ultO Since the caucasian race De-
came residents and occupants of the
western continent.
Not foot Of the soil OF the western
continent was appropriated to pri-
vate ownership at the time OF it's dis
covery, and not foot Of it has been
90 appropriated by the savage race
In the intervening four centuries.
And not y foot o. the soil OF Southern
Africa was appropriated to private
ownership when the Portuguese set
tied on its western coast four hun
dred years ago. Nor il there to this
day one foot 30 owned or appropriate
cd, except in the immediate vicinity
Of the white settlements.
We have thought that the policy of
the government should be changed,
and that the Indian should be locat-
cd upon land set apart for home Of
his own and that he be compelled to
live like civilized man. But the con-
dition Of the free negroes of Hayti
and Jamaica, and even of Liberia,
aid Of the American Indian, leads us
to almost question whether the saw
age races Of men can be taught to be-
come profitable farmers. Where
there is no private ownership OF land,
there is no civilization and very little
property Of any kind.
The white man, wherever found, is
never contented, but is always strug-
Cling to improve his condition, what
ever 1t may be: therefore, he il active,
industrious. provident, accumulative.
avaricious, proud, ambitious, envi-
GUS, jealous. cumulative. rivalrous,
cosnpetatfye and decidedly upanli-
oble.

Pooling q Jehu.

"Some bright newspaper man." re-
marked my marine engineer friend
fought to ship as a deck hand or
coal passer on a big lake boat and
write up his experiences. He'd get
an idea of life unfamiliar to him and
be able to interest his readers with
glimpses of a strange. rough, reck-
less existence, and perhaps if he had
q good constitution he'd be all the
better for roughing it for a few weeks
BE would see some amusing things,
too. remember one night in Chica-
go, as We were lying near the Clark
street bridge, a cab was driven rapid
y on to the bridge, just as it was in
the act of swinging. The cabby was
half tipsy, but he had a fare and was
rushing away with him for one of the
depots. oh, I'll get there he says;
1 always do, and you can stopme
He went on sassing the bridge ten
ders as he and his cab swung around
with the bridge. The vessel went
through, the bridge swung TO place,
but the bridge tenders had put up a
job on the jehu. Away ratified the
cab, the driver cracking his whip and
yelling: III get there, but he didn't
for the bridge tenders turned him the
wrong way. They swung the bridge
clear around. - Buffalo News.

sENATR.-The senate today took up
| the bill to declare unlawful trusts and
ordinations in restrain of trade and produe-
ton. Mr.. Hoar offered an amendment to come
in an additional section. 1t provides that if
one ofthe purposes ofsuch acombin alton sh all
be to compel any person or partnership, orccF-
poratlon, to become O party to it. or to cease
from doing any lawful business, or to sell or
dispose ofany lawful business such person,
partnership or company may sue for and re-
cover damages; also that any purchaser who
has Con account of such combination) topay
an increased price for the article purchased,
may sue for and recover damages from any
party to the combination. Agreed to. Mr..
Eustis called the attention of Mr.. Sher-
man in charge of the billy to the fact that
the bill did not seem to apply to exist
ing trusts: and he offered an amendment pro-
viding Gas an additional section) that any
person who, ninety days after the enactment
OF the law, shall act as manager. officer, trus-
tee or agent of any such combination, shall
be liable to the penalties provided in the bill.
The pension approximation bill was passed
by the senate with but one amendment, ap-
propriating Sl6, 900 for rent of pension agen-
cies.
HoUsE.-Before the tariff bill went to the
house from the senate this afternoon, there
was endorsed on it, in compliance with mo-
ton of Mr. Allison, adopted by the senate,
the statement that the senate adheres to its
amendments and requests conference. This
is an unusual but not an unprecedented course
to pursue, and is adopted for the purpose
of expediting the consideration of the
bill. This action of the senate caused
q mild commotioD among interested mem
bers of the house when it was made known
to them. The impression in some quarters
was that the senate had very cleverly trap
ped the ways and means committee. 1t
would be out of the ordinary course for
the house to refuse to accede
to the request of the senate for a con-
ference, yet if this request is granted
the result will be TO prevent the ways and
means committee from passing upon
the senate amendments to the tariff
bill. Again it is argued that if the house
should refuse to comply this refusal would
put it in the position of declining to second
the efforts OF the senate to secure speedy ac-
ton upon the tariff bill Several members of
the ways and means committee when spoken
to about the matter expressed the belief that
the request for q conference would not be
granted until the bill had gone through tho
regular course in the house and committee

She Caught Him On the Fly.

At eight O'Clock gthe other morning
wife followed her husband down to
the gate as he was starting for town
and kindly said to him, William, you
know how sadly | want blue bunt-
ing dress
eyes, DEAR . he remarked. 'but you
know how hard up am. AS soonas
| can see my way clear youshall have
the dress and new hat to boot. Be
patient, be good, and your reward
shall be great
Forty minutes after this he emery
ed from a restaurant with a big bas-
ket and fishing rod, bound up the
river. In the basket was a chicken,
pickles, cake, fruit pie, and bottle OF
liquor of rich color, and he was Just
lighting a fine cigar when his wife
came along.
"What! you here?" he exclaimed.
Eyes; | was just going to the mar
ket. Where are you going? What's
in the basket?''
Il was going to carry this fishing
rod to a friend in Fenchurch street, "
he modestly answered.
"And that basket?o
''This basket? Well, Twas going to
take it to the orphan asylum as a
present to the children. It is a dona.
ton from six business friends. .
William. / don't believe it,"
Ssh! don't talk so loud
William, shall talk louder vet
she exclaimed '1'll bet you are go
ing fishing
'Mary, have I ever deceived your:
he plaintively asked. 81 never have.
AS proof of my sincerity you can take
this basket to the asylum yourself. y
"And I'll do it," she promptly re-
piled, as she relieved him oft.
Mary, hadn't you"
mo, sir, ! hadn't. You had better
make haste with that fishing rod, as
the man may want it, and be careful
how you stand about in the hot sun. "
She left him there. watched her
take the car for home, and then he re-
turned the fishing rod and crossed the
street and said to an acquaintance, y
tom, I'm suffering from neuralgia,
and the excursion is Off till next week.
Too bad, but we can never tell what
a day may bring forth"
There were chicken and pickles and
other good things on the table at
dinner, but henever smiled, even when
she wished that she was an orphan
if that was the way they were fed.
He betrayed the gloom of his heart.
1t was only when she handed him the
bottle he had so carefully tucked
into the basket, and saw it labeled
Good for little children" that he
said:
"Mary, it is an awful thing for a
wife to get the impression that her
husband is designing impostor.''
ut must be-" she replied, as she
took up the other chicken leg

If Bolivar and Hardeman coun-
tY need one thing more than any
other it is certainly a railroad
through the center of the county
from east to west. A line from a
pOin on the Midland, say White
vile, via the Insane Asylum and
Bolivar to the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad, would be of perpetual
and incalculable benefit. 1t would
give us 80 miles OF track which
would be assessed at about $4,000
per mile, thus increasing our taxa
bic county wealth $500 900. Ii
would bring capital and enterprise
and factories that would be of create
er aggregate value than the railroad
and would Immediately impart life
to every industry and advance the
value of our landsa hundred per
cent. Some day railroad viii run
from the Midland via the Asylum
to Bolivar. That IS a necessity. 1t
is only eleven miles to Whiteville
from Bolivar. The grades are easy
and cheap. Not a single deep cut
Cr fill would be encountered. The
asylum alone would furnish In pas
sengers and freight traffic as much
as town of a thousand population,
and Bolivar which is two and a halt
miles from the asylum would furn'
ish 10000 bales OF cotton per an
mum besides heavy shipments o
other produce, live stock, etc.
