Your rudeness is mere pleasantly, =
And quite the thing for rank. e
Men will thrust upon you favors.
And fawn and condescend
Till you wonder at your kingship,
When you don't need a friend
They will shout your name in meeting,
And vote you into fame.
They will load your board with presents
OF bric-a-brac aud game.
They will strain themselves in showing
What kindness they intend,
When sunshine floods Your atmosphere
And you don't need a friend.
But walt and note how comical
This Selt-same world can be,
When the sun throws not your shadow,
And your hopes go TO sea.

In an address before the Nashville Liter
airy Club last Thursday night Dr. Edward
W. Bemis of Vanderbilt University gave a
very comprehensive ANALYSIS of the causes
of Socialism" The growth .of socialism,
he claimed, was due mainly to the abuses
of competition. The improvement in ma
chinery had made it possible for corpora
lions to employ weak muscles, and children
who should be in school are taken into the
factories. "The greedy emoloyer can bring
his fellow producers down TO his level by
cutting prices, and his progressive degreda-
ton of children means degradation of the
whole community" The extortions of mo-
nopoiy were another cause assigned for
socialism.

other day Johnny's natural aptitude for fun and
mischief led him to commit some trifiing INSIDE
meanor which was promptly rehuked by his

a Bill to 1ncrsas > the Revenues.

IL was understood that the WAYS and
means committee was engaged in framing
q bill to reduce the revenues, and when the
Mckinley bill was about completed IL was
announced that it would effect a reduction
of about S60,0O0,000 A treasury expert
has gone over the bill very thoroughly, and
he gives it as his opinion that it would in
crease the revenues about $l2000,0)O thu
first year, and twice that amount the second
year.
Mr.. Mckinley has always claimed, since
he has been in public life, to know a great
deal about the tariff. Ii the opinion of the
treasury expert is correct, aud il is much
more likely to be than that of any member
of the ways and means committee, he
knows very little about it. He certainly
doesn't know enough about it 10 poss az a
tariff expert.
The Mckinley bill reduces the revenue
from the sugar duty about $40. 900, 900, and
mase a reduction of few millions more in
the duties of a small number of other ar
ticles, but it increases the duties on Il great
many articles-articles that are needed il
every household. If the bill should become
law it would increase considerably the
cost of living.
1t isquite safe to say that the repu bllcans
will be quite sick of their tariff bill before
the debate on it in the House has proceeded
very far, and if it ever gets out OF the con-
mittee of the whole those who framed it
will not be able to recognize it. The re-
publicans are doomed to disappointment
if they hope to ga any popularity from it.

Sugar Mill Notes.

1t has been determined by the compa-
ny to put in another Yaryan evapora-
tor, making triple effect. When one
part of the evaporation is being cleaned,
the other two can be continued at work.
This will add greatly to the capacity of
the works.
Cane superintendent McCracken is
delighted with the cane outlook up to
this time. He says it is in much better
condition, cleaner and better cultivated
than at this time last year. The most
extensive crop is being raised by S. K.
w. Field, north of town, who has grow
ing 400 acres. Every foot of this ground
was cleaned of stalks and thoroughly
plOwed this season, and Mr.. Field has
had no trouble with volunteer cane from
last years crop, grown on the same
land. OF the Early Amber and Ten
nesSee, IS acres is, to-day, foot high,
and will be matured, and ready for the
mill, by August 1st, it is believed. Mr..
Field is giving his crop the very best of
cultivation, and his output will be very
large, unless some unlooked-tor acct
dent occurs.
superintendent Human. of the sugar
company, has been deyotlng considera-
bic time, this season, to hunting up
cheaper fuel, and better markets for
sugar and syrup. He thinks that he
has solved the problem, and that the
mill output can be placed as fast as it
is ready for shipment. Last year there
was prejudice against sorghum sugar,
caused by the inferior stuff sold for
sugar during the experimental year in
Kansas; but this prejudice has died
out, and now sorghum sugar has value
as well fixed as Louisiana or German
sugar. The sugar manufactured at
Medicine Lodge, in 1890, from sorghum
and beets, now estimated at not less
than one million and half pounds,
will meet with a ready sale.
The management of the Medicine
Lodge sugar works expect to obtain
great advantage, this year, by reason of
having experienced wOrkmen. Last
year there was but one man IN the
works who had ever had any previous
experience in the manufacture of sor-
ghum sugar; but this year fifty men,
who learned the needs Of the several
departments last season, can be en-
ployed.

10000 New Farms a Year.

The census Of 1880 showed that IN
every year since 1870 there had been
opened in the United States on an av-
erage upwards of $4,000 new farms pei
year. This fact explained the mystery.
for even to some of the manufacturers
themselves 1t seemed mystery as to
where all the new self-binders and
mowers went to. William Deering &
Co.. OF Chicago, alone manufacture
between twenty and thirty thou
SAN complete self binders and mowers
every year, and With reapers and vari-
Gus other implements and attachments
their product runs up TO many thou
sands. OF course as they stand at the
head the product of other works is
smaller, but in the aggregate it TAXI
many new farm to make places for all
