Der Of. abandoned farms 10 thesState and
the cause OF their abandonment. lie has
already discovered that common report has
grossly exaggerated the number. Mr

real facts are reported to him. that the
causes so com monty assigned for their
abandonment, taxation and tariff are

knows that there has been for many years
All increasing tendency of the population
towards the cites and large towns On the

apparent by the new census, The cities
and manufacturing towns have increased
while the towns away from railroads have,
almost without exception, lessened in pop
ulation. Young men and women seek the
centers of business and social advaDta ges

economical Law is the agency affecting this
movement which is beyond the power of
tariffs and taxation TO control, let politi-
clans strive as they may to prove the con-

The Franklin anecdote to which our
New York correspondent refers in his
letter published elsewhere, is as follows:
In the third year Of the Revolution the
British government proposed to make
peace and grant the Colonies the privi-
lege they had demanded on the condition
that they should pay the expenses of the
war. Franklin replied that the proposal
reminded him of something that hap
pened y-hen he lived in London. A
Frenchman who was little out OF his
head heated poker red hot and then
dashed into the street, exclaiming to the
first man he met: Me stick dis into you
ak inches. "No you don't, was the
reply. swell, den me stick it dree
inchesl" @No, sirI" was the more en-
phatic reply. well, den, sare, you will
of course pay me for heating the poker.

Mr.. Burr n. Mccarty Dead.

Mr.. Burr II. McCarty arose Mon
day morning apparently in his usua al
good health, and after pleasantly
conversing with several guests in his
hotel office and with members of his
family, remarked that he would 90
down and eat breakfast. Before
reaching the stairway he was seized
with a sudden faintness, and, calling
for help, was assisted to his room.
Instead Of recovering from the faint
ing spell he grew worse and his svmp.
toms became alarming. DR.. Thomp-
son was summoned, but Mr.. McCartv
was beyond the aid of medical skill
and a few minutes after . O'Clock he
brcatlled his last. His death was due
directly 10 failure of he heart to per-
form its functions.

la Grippe"

The malady now sweeping over the
entire globe, numbering its victi ms by
the millions, is no new thing. History
shows that between the years 1910 and
1850 there have been 300 invasions of this
same human foe. In 1920 the whole Of
Europe sneezed increasingly, while in
l7l3 there were 1000 deaths in London
In a single week. In 1775 it was for the
first time noticed that domestic animals
suffered the same disease, and that where
mankind suffered the most the beasts the
least, and vice versa. In 1872, 40, 900
people fell i'll of this same malady in
Petersburg inside of twcnty-four hours.
and to-day the soldiers at Petersburg are
dealt out their quiuine as regularly as
day dawns. To fear an expectancy in
i'ncncing the body through the mind are
c~ontributable the large and sudden daily
accessions. While there is undoubtedly
a good physiological bases for the illness,
yet it smacks too much of popularity to
be capable of a genuine pathological
nature. The world demands something
new and startling and will have IL though
she has to pay the price in human lives.
"LaGrippe' is the same snccze that
President Tyler had which became
known throughout the United States as
the ''Tyler grip .''-Ex.

A General Complaint.

The fight over the st. Louis p~ostofice
has been going on bitterly TO- 'eeks.
There can be no question that out for the
opposition Of the Globe-Democrat.
Chauncey |. Filley would long since
have been appointed. The position of
the Globe-Democrat is incomprehensi-
Bile to many that would like 10 be its
friends. 1t displays in lis inveterate
warfare neither political nor business
sense. We know not what the facts are
in other localities, but it is true here that
the republicans generally are subscribing
for the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the Toledo
Blade and other republican papers from
other states instead OF taking a st. Louis
paper, simply because Of its warfare on
Filley. Every day republicans call at
our office and make inquiries as to the
best republican paper.
A suggestion in favor of the Globe
Democrat Invariably brings out the re-.
ply: 81 cont want the Globe Demo-
crat. It's always fighting republicans ~
This condition of affairs has led to the
determination among republicans gem
orally outside of st. Louis to take such
steps at the next state convention as will
commit the party to the support of a
paper that will not persistently abuse
and oppose the recognized party lead

matter of speculation and another furry
like that Of November, 1883, will land it

quarreing over a treasure not many miles
from where pirate had been captured-here
was enough TO bring the whole country about
our ears. The quarrel was not even made
up; It was blotted from our minds; and we
got our packets together in the twinkling of
an eye and made of, running with the best
will in the world. But the trouble was we
did not know in what direction and must
continually return upon our steps Ballan-
trae had indeed collected what he could from
Dutton; but it's hard to travel upon hearsay,
and the estuary, which spreads into a vast,
irregular harbor, turned us Off upon every
side with a new stretch of water.
We were near beside ourselves and already
quite spent with running, when coming to the
top of dune, we saw we we're again cut off by
another ramification OF the bay. This was a
creek, however, very different from those that
had arrested us before; being set in rocks, and
SO precipitously deep that small vessel was
able to lie alongside, made fast with hawser;
and her crew had laid a plank to the shore.
Here they had lighted a fire and were sitting
at their meal. As for the vessel herself. she
was one of those they build in the Bermudas.
The love of gold and the great hatred that
everybody has TO pirates were motives of the
most influential, and would certainly raise the
country in our pursuit Besides, it was now
plain we were on some sort of struggling PENN
sula like the fingers Of hand; and the wrist,
or passage to the mainland, which we should
have taken at the first, was by this time not
improbably secured These considerations
put us on a holder counsel For as long as
we dared, looking every moment to hear
sounds of the chase, we lay among some
bushes on the top of the dune; and having by
this means secured little breath and recon-
posed our appearance we strolled down at
last, with great affectation of carelessness
