Quiet, GentIemanIy JIm-Jams,

 ''I used to think that man couldn't pos sibly live long after he got to having the jim jams as 6 steady thing" said a man at the club, "but I've changed my mind about that now. know a man who has had the tremens every week or so for years. Five or six years ago he was a shambling wreck, and looked at him and said to myself: He'll live about six months.' He is the same shambling wreck to-day, and no worse than he was, the only noticeable difference being that his hair has grown very gray in the meantime. His knees are inclined to knock together as he walks and his feet drag pitiably, but he doesn't suc- oumb.
 "His jim-jams were unique. He is never noisy, never gets frenzied, never shrieks or froths at the mouth. He just takes his at taoks quietly and says nothing. It is the character of his allusions that catches me. His ordinary belief is that there are flies or bugs of some sort crawling on his hands and wrists, and he looks at them with sort of glare and Hicks them off with his thumb and fnger-frss from one hand then from the other. Sometimes they get to coming so fast for him that the work of aickering them gets very lively and involves considerable work. Then, if he has lem extra bad he finds he can't keep lem off this way, and goes to brushing the backs of his hands on his trous- CTS very industriously. He keeps this up un- til the attack softens down enough to permit him to resume his lazy hickering with his ! thumb and finger.
 'This is the regular form of his tremsns put once or TWitt ne mas nau another kind On those occasions he forgets his flies fol moment and gazes curiously into the corner of the room. Then he says quietly "What's that horse doing there? Take him out doors.'
 "He is never mortified. His only pests are flies and oocasionly a horse. And he never hreaks wholly down and pets sick He inst goes along week after week having nice com. fortable kind of jim-iams and bothering no one. If were to have the tremens believe I'd like his kind. :"

REooLONIZING VERMONT.

The plan to induce Swsdes to settle on we'll. Commissioner Valentine says that general arrangements have been completed for the establishment of Swedish colony of about twelve families in the vicinity of Will mington, Windham county, another of thir- teen families near Weston, Windsor county, and a third may be located in the vicinity of Corinth and Vershire in Orange county. In Windham county the people have offered to furnish the land wanted at from $3 to $5 per acre, the immigrant to pay the taxes and interest snc first year, and afterwards $100 annually and interest until the entire pur- chase money Is paid. The people of the county also agree to furnish one COW to each family, teams enough to do the work of the colony and if needed to loan each family $25 to assist in the purchase of furniture, seeds, etc., the repayment to be on easy condi- tions. Farmers and owners of farms in other localities are willing to make similar terma, for the sake of securing honest, in- telligent and thrifty neighbors. The twenty five Swedish families mentioned, average five persons each, and will take up about 100 acres per family. They are expected to arrive about May 1, 1890. Ar. Valentine further says that every mail brings him let- tsrs from native Vermonters and natives of other New England States, who desire to re- turn to New England, asking about the cheap farms of Vermont, the location, con ditions of purchase, etc.
 All this is very interesting and impor- tant. The example of Vermont should be followed in other New England States.

 There is a horse in Cayuga County who likes to climb up the ladder of the stable into the loft and from thence to the roof of the building and slide down to the ground. His repeated performances have made the roof so slipperly that when lightning struck the place last Summer it glanced off at once and fell to the ground, leaving the stable un- harmed.

NOT NECESSARY.


 The press of the State is practically unani- nous in opposing the adoption of the pros posed constitutional amendment. There is no disposition to sri.icise the sincerity and zeal of the prohibitionists, but there is gene, ral agreement thai it would be folly to ats tempt to establish prohibition in this State. The Hartford Courant makes a good point when it says:
 The Oourant has never believed that the legislatures which submitted this amendment obeyed the letter or the spirit of the consti- tuition, which expressly provides that amend ments shall not be submitted to popular vote unless they have been "deemed neces- sary" by majority of one general assembly and ''approved" by two-thirds of the suc- cesding general assembly. No intelligent per son believes that majority of the general assembly of 1887 deemed such an amend. ment necessary" or that two-thirds of the general assembly of 1889 s'approved" it. It was simply easier to evade the real question by voting to submit the matter to the people, and three-fourths of those who spoke on the subject took this position. Violating the constitution is not good way to initiate an important amendment to the constitution.
 There is sense and force in this. If the legislature had thought prohibitory law ne. cessary it could have made one.

Russia and the Triple Alliance. From the Nevosti of St. Petersburg

From the Nevosti of St. Petersburgl
 It will be useless for the Prussians to make display of their power; the German people in their conscience will always feel that the seizure of Alsace and Lorraine was Q shame full violation of the rights of France, and contrary to the conception of international law..such as it exists among civilized nations. He who possesses an immense property hon. estly acquired will always be more tranquil than the man who only possesses little piece of ground with disputed title. If Germany gave back Alsace and Lorraine, the act would be followed by real augmentation of her power, and she would have such confidence in her security that she would no longer feel the necessity of hunting for alliances, while the intrigues to which she devotes herself to get alliances would appear humiliating to her, as they are in reality. If Germany re- stored the conquered provinces to France, the relations of good neighbors would be immediately established, and the possibility of disarming would be the reconpense of the act.
 If Germany cannot consent to give back the fruit of her victory, she might, at least, make of the two provinces a neutral State, like Switzerland, Belgium, or Luxembourg. And as matter of good policy, would it not be better for Germany to restore voluntarily that which, sooner or later, must be foreibly taken from her? Such an act would redouble the real strength of her empire, while her war preparations, in view of a future conflict, must end either in bringing on that conflict, which will be disastrous, or in beggaring and diseontenting the German people to such an extent that the sdifce created by M Bismarck must fall down ofsitself.
 It is not under such circumstances that Germany can make bargain with Russia, be- cause the latter will never allow herself to be caught in the nets of that diplomatic falsii- cation which is styled the ''League of Peace" Can they immagine for a moment that they can purchase Russia by the expulsion of Prince Ferdinand from So6as Such an illu- sion would only go to prove either that Bis marck is weakening in intellect, or that he has such small opinion of Russian diplomas cy that he imagines he cannot see anything ahead. and, therefore, does not foresee that even the simple weakening of France would only be the prologue of 8 campaign against Russia, in regard to which the official jour nals of Germany and Austro- Hungary have already enlightened us too often to leave any room for mistake.

Ills Bang, His Red Nectie and other
 Important Factors In Ills Popular.
 ity.
 From the Philadelphia Records Washington Let.
 Who started that absurd story about Will liam Walter Phelps concealing scar under his bang-a scar won in the war. Whoever it was must have been strangely ignorant both of Phelps and his career. It seems al- most as needless to say that he has no scar on his forehead or anywhere else on his face as to say that he was student at Columbia Law School during the war. He wears bang just as he wears red necktie, because he likes to, and not to hide anything or to disturb any, body. His hair looks better that way for one thing, and then he began that way and cannot now take the risk of change. Once prominently before the public eye you might almost as we'll change your politics as your face. The bang and the red necktie keep Phelps looking young in spite of the eye -glas- ses he somtimes has to wear. MT. Phelps will be fifty years old on the 24th of August. A very much under estimated man is Phelps because of the bang and the red necktie. per haps. He has one of the strongest as well as one of the subtlest minds in public life and one of the most eloquent tongues. He was one of the very few men out of the Congressional four hundred in the last year or two who | have been able to hold the attention of either House for more than minute. He is, in fact, one of the still smaller number who can at 1 tract an audience to the Capitol when the | newspapers announce that they are going to speak.
 Phelps is singularly unconventional man in small things and singularly conventional
 man in others. He dresses just as he pleas
 es, entertains very little, and cultivates a democratic manner. He walks, although he
 has carriage. He lives in a very quiet way, although he has a fortune. But then, again, he keeps his social life under glass. He is
 careful of the feelings of society and strict in | his obedience to party rules. He is an aris | tocratic democrat rather than democratic
 aristocrat. He has few friends for whom
 he cannot do enough to satisfy him and who
 would do anything for him. Blaine is one
 Representative Hit is another. Hitt's house | is the rendezvous for Phelphs, Tom Reed, Lodger Roosevelt and the other bright men l in politics. Mrs. Hit is as clever talker as
 her husband and that is saying great deal,
 and she entertains charmingly. All these friends belong to the smartest and gayest set

Prohibition a Flat Failure. Thomas Crimp of Davenport, Ia, to Christian

Prohibition 8 Flat Failure. Thomas Crimp of Davenport, Ia, to Christian
 Union.1
 The city clerk has just informed me that there are 176 saloons in this city of 30, ,000 people and that each pays license fee of $100 per year for the right to sell beverages not prohibited by law; that is how the form of license reads: l cannot tell you why the is not # fnfp1Ssa psa, tbhss mali bo1ses @ several wholesale liquor stores. As far as Davenport is concerned the law is @ dead failure.
 [Frem Christian Union.]
 It (prohibition) has not succeeded in the large cities of Maine. It has been once tried in Massachusetts, and ignominiously failed. It Is, according to all accounts, failure in Rhode Island. In Ohio a similar provision in the constitution, prohibiting license, gave over the State for'ye to free liquor, and made Cincinnati by-word and @ reproach. Is it wise for temperance men who desire to abolish the saloon altogether if they can, and to restrict it where abolition Is impossible, to incorporate in the constitution of the State so doubtful an experiment. We can give but one answer to that question-an answer in the negative.
 From Boston Globe.l
 Maine has been considered the banner tenn peranoe State in the Union, and Portland, as the largest city, has been looked upon as the model prohibitory city on this side of the Atlantic. Our surprise was, therefore, unbounded, when, in looking over the court records of one day, as printed in the Port land Advertiser, we found two dockets, con- taining in all twenty-five cases, of which twenty three cases were either for selling H. quor or getting drunk.
 Portland, Me, Argus.l
 The prohibitory liquor law-so far as it's enforcement or non-enforcement is concerned -is a tool in the hands of politicians; used to compel liquor dealers to vote with the party in power on penalty of oonfscation of property and imprisonment of person.
 LAt!anta Daily CapitaLl
 AS a Prohibition paper that has fought for that side because we believed the people of Atlanta had the nerve to carry it out, and if properly carried out would prove blessing, we now feel it our duty, after few months trial, to pronounce it, to all appearances, a dead failure in Atlanta.
 New York Times, Ind
 Prohibition has had as fair 6 trial in Rhode Island as it is possible to give an experiment. which is not backed by hearty moral senti- mont on the part of the community. The re- suit has been an increase of the debt of the State without any corresponding benefit. The State gets no part of the whiskey sellers profits in the form of license fees.

 The report of the Utah commission makeS Q favorable showing in regard to the decrease of polygamy, so far as the open contraction of plural marriages is concerned. But there is no doubt that the practice of polygamy in secret is extensively carried on, and there seems to be no way of preventing it, or bringing the guilty persons to justice.
 The text of Judge Nelson's decision on the Minnesota dressed beef law does not differ materially from that of the State court at Duluth, which pronounced the law unconsti- tutional and void. The grounds for the de- oision in each case were that the police power of the States cannot be employed to destroy or interfere with interstate commerce, and that the courts will inquire in each case whether the exercise of the police power has been reasonable or not.
 In Arkansas they are trying to getsa bill through the legislature to provide separate coaches for colored passengers. The matter is being earnestly discussed, both by the peo- meeting with universal favor. It is even claimed that the better class endorse the plan. The movement is constantly gaining force and the indications are strong that bill will be introduced in the legislature drawing the color line in Arkansas with an iron hand. The European residents whose property was destroyed in the recent revolt in Chian- King, China, have received ss indemnity 140, 900 tasls or $175,O0o. It is rather re- markable that this sum was paid by neither the government nor the province, but by the officers of the oity. The governor was assessed $s0, 1000, the governor of Shanghai the same, while the minor officials paid the remainder in proportion to their rank. The British consul whose house was entirely demolished, receiv- ed $30,00o.
