Senator Hampton's Speech.

After all the great scare about Senator
Hampton's coming home to make speeches in
the campaign, it seems that both sides have
been worse scared than hurt.
By reading the speech which he delivered
in Columbia, it will be found that he made an
excellent speech, 10 which neither faction OF
the Democratic party need take offence. The
Tillmanites, we presume would be about as
ready TO endorse 1t, as the anti-Tillmanites,
and so no harm has been done by the noble
old Senator whom all OF South Carolina loves,
regardless OF faction.

THE ZONE SYSTEM.

Last summer the government of Hungary made on all the railroads owned or con- trolled by the state an important change. The rates were regulated according to the ''zone system," and were based upon the theory that there are two classes of passen- gers that can be greatly increased-those go- ing quite short distance and those going Q very long one. The point is made in favor of this system that when cars are not occu- pied to their full capacity an increase of traffic requires only g nominal increase of expense. The cars must be hauled if half the seats in them are unoccupied. In the accommodation of suburban travel special trains are required, and it is acknowledged that it costs only an infnitesimal increase of expense to carry passengers the entire dis tance instead of half or fourth of it. To persons who do business in a city and live from five to thirty miles from it, and ride on special trains, tickets are sold at very low rates. The price, however, does not depend entirely on the number of miles travelled. Beyond the towns that are tributary to a city the country Is divided into ''zones," and tickets are sold good for passage over a certain number of them. A s'zone" Is ten miles wide, but ticket good for fourteen "zones" enables the purchaser to ride the entire length of the road without additional cost.
 A most favorable report on the working of this system has recently been made by the minister of commerce to the Hungarian parliament. Although passenger rates have been reduced about 50 per cenr., the roads pay much better than they ever did before. Some private railroad companies have adopt ed the new system, which bids fair to extend throughout all the countries on the continent of Europe.

LET WE'LL ENOUGH ALONE,

LET WE'LL ENOUGH ALONE,
 The efficiency of the United States Fish commission has been long recognized. It has3done mnch for science, and it has also carried on for years with remarkable suc- cess the propagation and distribution of various kinds of fish, and it's work in this direction has greatly stimulated and aided similar efforts in the inland waters of the country through State commissions. As enough alone, 60 bill bas been introduced in the senate which provides that the fish commissioner shall hereafter be an officer of the department of agriculture and shall perform his duties "under the super vision and direction" of the head of that department; that all the employees of the commission shall be "subieot to appointment and removal by the secretary of agriculture" !" and that the records and papers shall be turned over to that officer.
 If this were done, of course the Fish con- mission would have no independence, and whatever work it did would be done under great difficulties. Those who have the most vital interest in the fisheries are heartily protesting against such change. Protests against the passage of this bill have been sent to Washington by representatives of the great ocean fisheries which centre at Glouces- ter, Mass, and those of the lake fisheries whose greatest market is at Sandusky :, Ohio, as we'll as by the New York State Fish commission. They should be needed.

 Publishing newspapers in Germany if pretty serious business. Herr Bashart was arrested for criticising rather too severely the conduct of the Duke of Saxe-C Cobourg- Gotha. He was convicted and sent to the Ichtershausen prison, and although the court did not infict upon him the loss of his civil rights, his hair and beard were cropped and he had to put on the prison uniform. All his underclothing, and even his pocket handkerchief and spectaclea, were taken from him. Soap, towels, combs. and brush es formed jail luxury that could not be permitted; and, aNAeugh he offered to pay for food different from. the prison fare, it was denied him. His treatment was recently brought to public notice by lawyer named Muller in complaint to the authorities The case has created considerable excitement in Gotha, and thorough investigation of it is now going on.
 Many of the fat people are trying hard to be lean. The remedies suggested are legion Turkish baths, exercise, starvation, the eschewing of all foods containing starch and sugar. Lord Byron ate raw potatoes and vinegar. The Salisbury method is very popular in England. Here it is: No break fast, but on rising in the morning drink a pint of water as hot as possible. Half an hour later eat one pound of beefsteak chopped as fine as possible, the outside warmed over the fire and the inside quite raw. A little bit of stale bread goes with the meat. Al 2:S0 o'clock another Pint of hos water. Al 3:30 another pound of steak, as before. At 6:30 another pint of hot water. Nothing more until the next mornings hot water. Same proceedings next day, and so on. The annoying point about this treatment is that as soon as one discontinues the fat rapidly returns.

SPANISH PAINTERS.
Sir Frederic Leighton Discusses Their
 Characterlstics-Vel

SIT Frederic Le1gntOn Dl6CueeeS InelT
 CharacterIstlcs-Vel
 From the London Times.l
 Last evening Sir Frederic Leighton dis-. tributed the prizes to the successful students of the Royal Academy schools. He then proceeded to deliver his address to the stu dents. He said:
 Students of the Royal Academy: I have in successive addresses from this chair asked asked you to consider with me how, among various peoples, the character and current of artistic production has been influenced by surrounding conditions, material, moral and intellectual, and in the development of this inquiry Italy, you may remember, occupied our thoughts when last we met. I propose this evening to put before you some refec- tions on the art of 2 people once closely bound up with Italy, and belonging to the group of the so called Latin races-the Spaniards. So far we have seen the natural temper of Keen and strenuous race mani festing itself unmistakably in it's plastic and architectural art. Let us now, in conclusion, see how far it's painting tells the same tale.
 Whatever of pictorial art may have been produced in Spain previous to the fifteenth century, very little indeed of it has been preserved, and that little, as far az I have been able to observe, mainly in Catalonia. In the specimens have seen of the work of this period remarkable tendency already to intensity of tone and vehemsnce of color has struck me; quality which is universal in Spanish art up to the sixteenth century. With regard to the foreign influence that may be traced in them, it would be difficult to generalize with confidence. When, how- ever, we reach the end of the fifteenth oen- tury, our task, though still delicate one, becomes much easier. Of French influences it may, think, be broadly said that outside Catalonia they are mainly traceable in the northern region of the peninsula.
 Let us, before dismissing this phase of Spanish art, compare it for a moment with the art of contemporary Italy. In Spanish art we are conscious, in the main, of the ut terance of more fiery race, race with more dramatic instincts and of a gloomier faith, and we see the fervor of it's temper trauslating itself almost uniformly in glow and gravity of tone and certain pomp of | color such as we find in Italy only among the earlier venetians. Of any ideal of form, on | the other hand, or of any sense of exquisite ness, we vainly seek a trace. The Spaniards l had neither the suave serenity nor the high stateliness of the Italian quattrocentisti; but 1 then neither did they ever fall into a certain languid elegance from which the Tuscans, al I least, were not wholly exempt.
 Meanwhile, in the most Italianizing days the sturdy, rugged Spanish spirit was mol
 dead in every breast; nay, indeed, 1t burned

A BLAST AT PATTI.
Boston, Having Enjoyed a Feast of Melody, Turns Sick.
 iEronn the Rostnn Herald

tFrom the Boston Herald.
 Now that Patti has farewelled Boston for the very last time with her hat on, Boston is going to read her a lesson, which she will do we'll to ponder and act upon ere she is many years older. Ever since this most precious of human music boxes began he artistic career, fortune has smiled on her. It is true fate has once once or twice stepped in and given the diva bad quarter of an hour, in the shape of 8 rascally marquis and a censorious world, yet, ,swith it all, fortunes corticopia was always pouring favors and fame at her feet. With the most marvellous voice of the day she has coined gold until great wealth, such as no prima donna ever won in song be- fore, is hers to use for good or evil. The eff feet of this practical adorstion has been to dwarf every natural sentiment, and to place self, as it were, on high altar, transforming the woman into machine, without another idea save to be rich, to avoid the tiniest wrinkle in the proverbial rose leaf; in short, to be Ia diva, the one and the only Patti. If Patti has given anything here besides her name for an advertisement we are ignorant of it, and beg her pardon for having believed the report. Probably she has shared the fate of rich people in being haunted by beg gars of all degrees, but considering the thous- ands of dollars Americans alone have added to her bank account, it would be pretty of her to spare little of the superhuitY for some charity now dear to the American heart. Ths worship of self, whether in the woman without talent or in a woman with 6 transeendent larynx, is thoroughly qnlovely, and it must be said even in Patti's case, vast- ly tiresome to those who judge with unpreju- diced understanding.

HOW TO SELECT AND DSE G UN. A Talk for Boys from Which Older Per-
 TRovp


 From M. Thompson In Minneapolis Tribune.l
 The gun is, perhaps. the most fascinating thing to boys that can be thought of, and it is, therefore, necessary that they should be instructed in it's use There is comparatively little danger in handling firearms if careless ness is avoided. Nearly all the accidents by which bays have been hurt or killed while using guns have been the result of gross neg lect of the simplest rules of safety.
 Three kinds of weapons may be clsssed as hendguns = the rifs, the shotgun and the piss tol. It is rare indeed for boy to need pis- tol, ard shall only say here that it Is the most dangerous and the least useful of all arms. It is 80 short that it ia hard to handle with perfect safety, and it is not accurate enough for uss as sport weapon. My advice to boys is to let it alone.
 The rife is long range weapon of sport, and for large game it is the only effective one. Since the perfection of the shotgun the old time rife has been in lees and less in de. mand for small gome; still flor squirrel hunt. ing, especially in the south, it is in common use, ,and for target practice it cannot be equal ed.
