SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON.
SOME folk lie for pleasure, others lie TO
profit. The devil keeps an eye on both.

THINGS are not what they seem. At least
many things are not, especially money. 1
watched coin handler yesterday. He had
big pile of silver dollars and comfortable
package of bank notes under his fingers. He
wasn't q bank cashier, but he handles large
sums of money daily for all that. The man
outside the counter stood ready to receive the
cash. The man on the inside counted it. He
first placed the bright coins in IS piles. Then
the counter and fingered them into his palm,
building up the blocks of five again. Once more
he picked up the piles and closely eyed each
Liberty-headed piece. He was looking for a
plugged dollar. Then he passed them between
finger and thumb. He was feeling for coun-
terfeit. Then few suspicious ones were
tested between his teeth. He was testing for a
leaden fraud. Satisfied as to their genuine
ness he showed them over to the owner, who,
after formal inspection. placed them in his
money bag. Then the man behind the counter
went over the bills. Some he held before the
light, others he turned over and over, still
others he stretched between his hands and
eyed closely. All the while he was searching
for the bad among the good. Now is it really
SO bad as this? Is the world actually so wicked
as to cause such close scrutiny of coin? Or
was he Just bit too careful? Who knows?
AT all events there is suspicion and distrust in
the minds of all the fellows who constantly
come in contact with the sinews of the nation.
They cannot trust to appearances. Things in
the money line Just now are not what they
seem at all events.

The once famous Sweet case exists sonKef Neither Mir. Sweet or his witnesses will 10 be.
 fore tho United Stases Court again and enter tain Jury with tho old old story of persccu-
 ton. Though the cnsc has ended, and a satls-
 factory settlement of the matter hsa been
 reached, it etill remains fair subject of dis cussion and comment Tborc is one fact con
 ncctcd with this case that gives some founda- ton for the belief that the whole scheme that
 oulminatcd in the suit brought against certain cl'izcps of Forrest City. by Sweet, was con cocted and carried out in the interests of Festherston. Tho World does not. and cannot | assert this as positive fact as thcre is no evi- denco at hand to provo 1t, but careful iuvest!- gaton, coupled with recent developments
 would lead ono to that conclusion wc need | call attention to but one circumstance to show that this theory is an exceedingly plausible one | --the seating of Foathcrston in congress, and
 tao compromise of this suit are events that
 have taken place almost simultaneously. This
 may be a mere coincidence. but it does not
 strike us altogether in that light. The troubles | at Forrest City nd the subsequent alleged per
 secution of Mir Sweet had their effect upon the
 republican members of the House. and there 10
 no doubt in our minds that these events con
 tributed largely to Festhcrston's success. He (Featnerstonl cones out winner in the contest
 case. he 10 seated la congress, and he hse not
 had timc to warm up his chair in the House | before tho Sweet suit is compromised There maybe some connection between these two
 events and there nay not, VIC can't tell we merely give the impressions that naturally 1 force themselves upon us. Fcatherston has
 Gates seat in congress. Swoct has his tsooo. or
 what is left of it after paying costs and ettor
 ney's fees. Tho citizens of Forrest City have 1 an immense weight taken of their shoulders.
 and we are somewhat at loss to know who to ] congratulate and who to offer sympathy i We would congratulate the good people of , Furrust City only II would look as if we were glad to get rid Of them which is not tEc case by
 any means. They are good mon and we like to have them visit us. even if they do come as de.
 fendants and witnesses in a case before the
 II. s. court.--Iielcna World.
 1 Your article bears us out in the asser l tion that it was Featherstou's success
 that compromised the Sweet case. You
 had better congratulate Sweet, because
 he would eventually have had the costs
 to pay had it not been for the liberahty of our people, which is characteristic.

1T is interesting to state that the in- crease in the white population of the United States is faster than that of the colored population. because it is gener- ally thought the negro increases much faster than tho superior race. We learn from an authority who claims to have made careful examination of every census since the foundation of the government to the census of 1880, exclusive of all states whose pop,ila- tion is less than 5 per cent. colored. that the increase of the Caucasian race in twelve Southern states is nearly per cent. greater than that of the negro race, IL this is correct it trips tie props from under the probability at z negru's ever. numerically. oyei- fenhing the country.
