BAD FOR THE FARMERS.
Gov. Stone Opposed to the Sub
Treasury Plan.

The proper function OF the government, as
understand it, Is 70 protect all in the full en-
ioyment Of their rights by admins,
aud imposing as few burdens as possible,
equally distributed. and then leaving every in
dividual to his own efforts for success and hap
piness. The government has no wealth to be-
stow, and when it undertakes to dispense favors
it always has favorites and gives to them at
the expense of those not favored. II must be
50 from the very orI nature tareo OF ild things;
others. We of the south, chiefly agricultur-
lists, have felt this evil with crushing force, for
the high protective system OF the Republican
party for the benefit Of the manufacturing in
terests mainly of the north, has operated in
two-fold manner 60 iniure us, by depressing the
price of our cotton and greatly increasing the
cost Of many articles We are compelled to buy

enormous burdens Of the government fall
heavily upon us, while we get little to compen-

the sub-treasury bill is intended to supply an
increase Of money, IL promises nothing good to
the farmers, who above all others will be tue
victims Of the evils Of any imitation which will
disturb values They need for their welfare a
currency as steady and stable as themselves.
Traders and spectators. those looking out for
deals and corners, can riot amid the excite

from disturbance Of the circulating medium
The farmer and laborer stand no sort OF even
chance in that condition Of things. The promise
of an opportunity to obtain money at a low rate
of interest, by depositing cotton and getting an
advance of eighty per cent OF its value Is, |

KINGS PALACE, sI2-8I4 Seventh Street.
The world,s Fair Buildings.

1t is said that the Worlds Fair buildings at
Chicago are to be constructed of building
material called ''staff,' consisting chiefly of a
composition of cement and gypsum. 1t was
used largely in the construction of the ex-
terror walls of the Exposition buildings at
Paris in 1889. The plan is to make imitation
marble columns, marble slabs, and granite
walls out of wood and coating of 'staff."
The original idea was to build of steel, iron,
brick, and stone, but this was found by little
calculation to involve an expenditure greater
than the resources at the disposal of the COM
mission. A popularity of 'Estaff' is its sus-
ceptibility to color; it has one great merit,
that of being fire-proof material

lectures to their men on subjects relating to
the latter's duties. A certain captain quar-
tered in Berlin was due at O'Clock one
morning at the classroom. Oversleeping
himself, and not arriving until twenty minutes
past, he found, to his dismay and annoyance,
young-looking officer attending to his work
and busy at the blackboard. On his angry
approach the young officer turned round, and
the captain at once recognized his Emperor in
the substitute. Speechless with astonishment,
he tremblingly received the textbook which
His Majesty quietly handed him, with the re-
mark: ''We have got as far as there, cap
tain and left the room without appearing to
hear the officers suffered excuses. The
captain awaited a peremptory dismissal, but
for weeks there came no decision OF his fate.
AT last, when the suspense had become fairly
unbearable, on December 6, when st. Nicholas
holds his disciplinary inspection among the
German children, he received present from
the Emperor. 1t was an alarm clock.

which the club took possession month ago,
by paying the balance of $4,000 to the former

occupying three floors of a large building
situated in the very heart of the city. Its
membership six weeks after organizing, is In
the neighborhood of one hundred and seventy
five, and constantly increasing. So useful,
inviting, and convenient is the clubhouse to
the members that fully one-third of them
are to be met there every day,
which is an extraordinarily large percentage
of attendance. This shows that the institu-
ton has nothing to fear because of lack of
interest among its members. In short, the
