Looking for Money,

A quiet young fellow emerged from one
OF our suburban hotels the other day and
began poking in the sand, which is uncom-
monty thick just there, with his cane OF
course bystander saw him, and asked
what he was about.

second man did likewise, and Others fol.
lowed suit, till at least forty individuals
had joined In the search. Umbrellas, and
canes, and boot toes were brought into
requisitioD, and stirred up the dust to such
an extent that the air resounded with a
chorus OF sneezes, while the policeman
nearly went distracted In his fruitless en-
deavors to dispense the crowd.
Finally some one remembered to ask the
quiet young fellow how he happened to lose
the coin
"Oh, didn't lose any," he replied, calm

Strength of the Candidates.

The Toiler makes the following
estimate of the strength of the sew
eral candidates as far as heard from,
and of course counts literally for
Buchanan: Baxter 1903, Buchanan
267, Patterson 1872, John M. Taylor
l04. This estimate includes Mont
gomery county-18 for Buchanan,
3 for Baxter and 6 for Patterson.
This county is instructed for Daniel,
but with Mr.. Daniel off, if there is
more than one Patterson man In the
delegation, we have been unable to
hear of him, while more than a
dozen have expressed themselves in
favor of Taylor. Uncle Josiah ought
to send the lone delegate chrome
and a free pass on Pullman palace
car as a reward for his courage.
Candidates, however, will be safe In
leaving Montgomery out of their
figuring and count all they get from
here as clear gain. There will be
1,5S7 votes in the convention, and 1t
will require l 1858 to nominate, and it
is likely to be late before anybody
gets there.

We may find, upon a more careful exam.
nation, that there issome other cause than
ignorance for this rapid growth of our
prison population in certain parts Of our
country. If am not mistaken, there are
several such causes, some of them entirely
Independent of the change in the illiteracy
of the nation. One OF them lies in the
transition from an unsettled condition to
settled condition on our constantly ad-
vancing frontier; another is in the change
from slavery in the south, and a third is In
the gradual elevation of the standard Of
hannah conduct, making crimes of actions
that had been only lawful escapades in
earlier times
The first cause comes out clearly IL we
compare the ten states that were on the
frontier in 1850 with ten older states-the
New England and middle states, for in
stance. In the former the ratio of crimi-
nails has been multiplied four or five times
during the past thirty years, while in the
latter 1t has only doubled, rising from 244
to ,14S prisoners in a million inhabitants
on the frontier, and from $50 to !, 074 on the
seaboard. OF course, it is obvious that in
new country there will be a certain
amount of lawless conduct unpublished at
first, before sheriffs, courts and jails are in
running order But the rapid increase in
the proportion of criminals, as the state
grows older, does not mean more crime; it
often means less. The evil doors are ar
rested and sentenced, and so get into our
prisons and our census; and then we are
told that crime is increasing. Rev. A. w.
Gould in Popular Science Monthly.

This expression occurs in an arti-
Gle in the Murfresboro Free Press in
reference to Harrison:
How is it possible for any unpen-
stoned, "unpied," self-respecting Re-
publican to indorse such an utterly
incompetent and absolutely blank
administration
There is nothing blank about it.
1t bristles with the most stupendous,
unconcealed scoundrelism of any adj
ministration this country has wit
messed. 1t has been a Doodle admin
istration from the beginning, and
accomplished so far just what 1t set
out to do. 1t has been an admins
tration of bribery and fraud, for the
exclusive benefit of millionaires,
wealthy corporations and rich man
ufacturers, and against the poor man
in everything attempted. 1t has
prosecuted the South Ostensibly for
the benefit of the negro, and dam
aged the negro in every act. Theft,
bribery and rascality have character
rized every act.

HUMILIATING.
Certain Facts Concerning Om
Steamship Lines.
Comment by Our Brazilian
Consul General.

OF 725 Steamers Entering the Port of Rio
Janeiro During the Year Ending Dec. 4,
1889, but Fifteen Flew the Stars and
Stripes An Increased Foreign Trade
Badly Needed-HOw to Get 1t.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-A statement
has just been received as to the number
of steamships that entered the port of
Rio Janeiro during the year beginning
Dec. /, 1888, and ending Dec. /, 1889.
The total number was 725, of which fif-
teen few the American flag.
Consul General Doekery.
Commenting on this, Consul General
Dockery says:
IF the present American line were so
subsidized that they could put on, say,
four new and fast steamers and another
line an equal number so as to secure
weekly sailings. believe in a few years
our trade here would far exceed that of
all Europe put together
IL have examined this matter very
closely, and in my views by no process
outside of that can we hold permanently
our commercial status, much less gain
foothold in the sale and disposal of our
accommodating and surplus products.
I'm the connection let me further say
that our lines should be extended at
once to the Argentine republic, which,
with its immense resources, is now com
manding the attention of the European
world, Not an American steamer
enters the water of the Plata, wiler.
those of all other nations enter and de-
part"
The Brazilian government has been
paying subsidy to the American line,
but it is not likely to do so much long
or. The wage.workers of the country
should interest themselves in this mat
ter. for an increased foreign trade
would mean the employment of more
laborers.
