Renting RIbIes.

The popular impression that every
family possesses a Bible as well as die
tionary and copy of Shakespeare, like
many other popular impressions, seems
to be an erroneous one, for there is 10
town q firm that makes a business Of
renting out Bibles Of an expensive and
handsome kind, suitable to hand 20 a
bishop or fashionable clergyman on the
occasion Of a christening, wedding or
funeral in the family. If on the ocea-
sion of these religious episodes in toe
family the high church dignitary should
turn to the blank leaves between the
Old and New Testaments he would find
them devoid of genealogical records, TO
the CONSERVATION of the family. A de-
posit is demanded when The Bible 10
hired, and a charge of two dollars a
night is the regular price.-New York

A PARABLE OF CAPITAL AND LABoF
Robert G. Ingersoll in North American Review.

Robert G. Ingersoll in North American Review.
Mr. c. used to think about this law of
supply and demand as applicable to IN
diViduais. He found that men would
work for exceedingly small wages when
pressed for the necessaries of life; that
under some circumstances they would
give their labor for half of what it was
worth to the employer because they were
liz a position where they must do some
thing for wife or child. He concluded
that he had no right to take advantage
of the necessities of others, and that he
should in the first place honestly lind
what the work was worth to him, and
then give to the man who did the work
that amount. Other manufacturers re-
garded Mr.. G. as substantially insane,
while most of his workmen looked upon
him as an exceedingly good-natured
man, without any particular genius for
business. Mr.. c., however, cared little
about the opinion of others, SO long as he
maintained his respect for himself. At
the end of the first year he found that
he had made a large profit, and there
upon he divided the profit with the peo-
pie who earned it, Some of his friends
said to him that he ought to endow some
public institutions; that there should be
college in his native town; but Mr.. G.
was of such peculiar turn of mind that
he thought justice ought to go before
charity, and little in front of egot SIN
and desire to immortalize ones SELF
He said that it seemed to him that of all
persons in the world entitled to this
profit were the men who had made it by
their labor, by their days of actual
toll. He insisted that, as they had
made it. it was really theirs, and if it
was really theirs they should have it, and
they should spend it in their own way.
Mr. G. was told that he would make the
workmen IN other factories dissatisfied,
and that other manufacturers would be-
come his enemies, and that his course
would scandalize some of the greatest
men who had done SO much for the
civilization of the world and for the
spread of intelligence. Mr.. G. became
extremely unpopular with men of talent,
with those who had genius for bust
ness. He, however, pursued his way,
and carried on his business with the idea
that the men who did the work were
entitled to a fair share of the profits;
that, after all, money was not as sacred
as men, and that the law of supply and
demand, as understood, did not apply to
flesh and blood.

Speaker Crisp is the first foreign born
citizen ever chosen to the high and re-
sponsible position he now occupies.
Until the present law was enacted a few
years ago in relation to the presidential
succession, that officer was second on the
list, coming next to the vice president.
And even now in some respects the posi-
ton is of as great concern to the country
as that of president, in that he who
occupies it may exert a controlling infu-
ence in the legislation of the congress,
the most important of which must origi-
nate in the lower house. 1t is seen at
once, therefore, that the elevation to
that position of an alien is departure
from the practice of more than century
of choosing native born American citi-
zens to that trust.

The young crowd of Democrats in New
York seem TO have scinched the situa-
ton in that state. Governor-Senator
Hill is their leader and he appears to be
a very cavalier of politician. His
first lieutenant is Lieut.. Gov. ELECT Shee.
han who has just been made member
of the national committee of that party.
Sheehan is one of the youngest of the
young crowd, being but So years old.
But lie is backed by Tammany, and is
said TO be, withal, brilliant orator and
an aggressive sort of fellow generally.
1t sounds rather odd to talk about a
young crowd in connection with that
old political barnacle, Tammany. but
therein is the secret of its success as q
political factor; it takes up the young
men of promise and uses them in such
way as to make them feel that it is doing
them service, but all the while for its
own advantage.

ing Of further favors to silver has re-
Gently increased and intensified, as IL
Democratic chiefs are aware, but
rank and file do not know this
do not care. The collapse OF
Alliance, which has just taken pla.
is heavy blow to the Democracy, al
makes necessary for that organization I,
more cautious and conservative policy
than would, a wear ago, have been
looked for. This, too, is known to the
leaders, but the 142 majority, if it learns
of this circumstance, will laugh az 1t,
and scorn the counsel which would hint
at any modification of the party pro-
gram on this account.
These are considerations which are
giving the Republicans good deal of
encouragement at the present time, and
which are correspondingly depressing
sagacious Democrats. Despite the ldioey
and fatality of such course, the Demo
cracy In the house will not be prevented
from attempting to carry out its policy
of destruction. The country must ex-
pect reign of extravaganza and folly
IN the lower branch of congress
between this time and its adjourn
ment next summer or autumn such
as has not been seen thus Tar since the
war. A large part of the Democratic
majority is composed of members
utterly inexperienced in public office,
without any education or training
which would fit them for the business OF
legislation, and altogether ignorant and
careless of the responsibilities which at
tach to their station. Many of them
never look for another term in Office. Ia
fact every influence which would sug-
geSt all Intelligent and moderate course
to the minds of the controlling element
of the dominant party is either weak or
entirely wanting. The chances that any
wise legislation can successfully run the
gauntlet of the house is reduced to a
minimum, while the opportunities for
the Republicans to make party capital
out OF the plumbers and excuses of that
body are virtually boundlesS.

COAL VS. WOOD.

The growing use of coal as fuel in
stead of wood is making perceptible
difference in the destruction of the for
ests, even in a state so remote from the
mines and so largely wooded as Maine.
The Springfield Union reports that the
same cause is producing similar effect
in even more pronounced way in the
western part of Massachusetts,. 1t says
in that region the forest growth is gain
ing, and thinks that, ''unless there
springs up new demand for wood as
fuel, we shall have good supply of ma
tive timberin another twenty-five years.
For a good while past the most that we
have heard about forests in every part of
the country has been of a dlscouraging
nature. and it is pleasant relief to
learn that there are regions where the
situation is improving, and if it were not
for the indirect premium put upon the
destruction of the forests by the tariff on
lumber the depletion of our wooded areas
would not only cease but IN few years
they would be increased to an extent to
exert marked influence upon the gen.
eral climate of the country.

Southern Women and EdueatIon.

It is Victor Hugo who has called this
s'the century of woman" 1t is certainly
an age that has witnessed great changes in
the life, education and labor of women
everywhere; and these changes have all
been in the direction of charging the
sphere of woman's activities, increasing
her liberties and opening up possibilities
to her life hitherto restricted to man. 1t
is movement limited to no land and to
no race So far as this movement may
have any tendency to take woman out Of
her true place in the home, to give her
mans work to do and to develop mascu-
line qualities in her, it finds no sympathy
In the south.
The southern woman loves the retire
ment of home and shrinks from every
thing that would tend to bring her into
the public gaze. The higher education Of
woman, which has been so widely discussed
of late years, and to encourage and promote
which such noble schools for women as
Wellesley, Vassar, Smith and Bryn Mawr
have been founded, and so many great
male universities in the north and in Eng
land thrown open to them, is duly recog
nized and felt among the young women of
the south.
ms widespread aspiration OF southern
young women for broader culture finds ex
preston in the eagerness with which they
are seeking admission into the best of the
higher institutions provided for males, and
this not because coeducation finds favor in
the south-for it is, perhaps, less encour-
aged here than in any other part of the
United States, though the prejudice against
it is weakening somewhat, but only be
cause there is no higher institution OF
learning for women which provides for
them the extensive facilities and broad
culture furnished by at least few institu-
tions for young men.-Professor w. f.
Tiilet in Century.

The election of Crisp as speaker of con-
gresS is generally construed to be Hill
triumph and knockout for Cleveland;
but it would probably be more accurate
TO say that it was a Tammany triumph,
and whatever significance may attach to
the circumstance in regard to the presi-
Dental nomination rests with that domi-
mating organization. Cleveland nor Hill
nor German is alone boss, but the Demo-
cratic party of the country is simply a
machine, run By that autocratic dicta-
torial organization.

Why Courts are Slow.

Attorneys who were in Topeka yester-
day give the following as an illustration
of why it is that the appropriation for
the United States court is often used up,
compelling the people to do without the
court. A man from Elk county, Kansas,
was convicted of violating the state law
by boot-legging liquor, and to get even
with the constable who caused his arrest,
he filed information charging the con-
stable with selling liquor three years ago
without a government license. Many
witnesses were examined, and the cost
of the trial was $500. Meanwhile the
attorneys from all parts of the state
were waiting to try important cases in
volving thousands of dollars.

to do away with imprisonment as far as
possible and TO substitute fines therefor.
The number Of crimes punishable
with long imprisonment is con-
stantly decreasing there. While this
is true, it does not altogether explain the
| improvement, for if the crimes them
selves are considered, and not the pun
| ishment, it will still be shown that Eng
| land is doing better than it was twenty
wears ago.
1t is further insisted that the improve
ment in England and the deterioration
in the United States are due to immi-
grafton. The chronic criminals who
spend the greater portion of their time
in prison, finding the law too rigorous
on the other side of the water, emigrate,
it is asserted, to the United States and
help to swell our prison population.
There is an element of truth here, but it
accounts for only a part of our bad
showing. The statistics show that the
foreign element preponderates in our
prisons, but not to the extent to throw
the whole responsibility for crime, or in
deed any very considerable proportion
of it, on immigration. Moreover, we
have had heavy immigration for years.
vet it is only lately that the prison sta
tistics have been so unfavorable.
The EAGLE quite agrees with the New
Orleans Times Democrat, which paper iii
noting the facts as set forth in the fore
going expresses the opinion that the
cause of the discrepancy must be looked
for elsewhere, and that it probably lies
at our own door. The law has not been
enforced as it should be with sufficient
rigidity and vigor; the law officers IN
many sections have been criminally
negligent and allowed, or indeed en-
couraged, the miscarriage of justice. 1t
might be well to adopt some safeguards
to keep criminals from coming to this
country; but it would be well at the same
time to look at home and see that no
evil-doers escape, and that crime is pun
ished certainly and severely. A little
severity now would put us in the same
favorable condition as England.

that with which the press dispatches are
every few days numbered from Arkansas
City, in which that long-haired loafer
"Pawnee Bill" Is made to figure as prime
factor, agent and leader. This beat,
"Pawnee Bill" has no more
power or influence, nor is he
in any respect whit more OF

Bulletin No. $40 issued from the
census office is statistical showing of
the principal schools for the deaf in the
United States, and the number of pupils
under instruct on from 1910 to 1889.
The average number of pupils in at
tendance during the first decade from
ls40 was SOL; for the last decade ending
IN 1889 the average number was 5.9l0.
In 1889 there were forty-three public
schools for the deaf with $3.50 pupils in
attendance upon them. In addition to
the public schools there are eleven
private schools with an attendance OF
go pupils. The annua. average cost
per pupil in 1883 was S27l, inc uding
building and current expenditures.
From these figures it Is seen that this
class Of unfortunateS are carefully
cared for IN the matter of equipment for
self maintenance in the battle of life.

figure is doubled, in England %, in Rus

are young recruits, and the means en-
ployed usually IS either shooting or
drowning. The tension of the armed
peace in Europe is here illustrated again.

So far no one has been able to identify
the head of the person who attempted to
kill Russell Sage and killed himself in
the attempt. The New York police be-
lieve that he was some anarchist, but
this is as near Identification as they have
come. As for that, though. about every
body agrees with them. Unless the deep
were that of lunatic (which seems
doubtful from the fact that no lunatic
that suits the description was known to
be at large before or at the time Of the
occurrence), it must have been commit
ted by some anarchistic desperate. Who
he was matters but little, since he, by
his own act, put an end to his wretched,
villainous life and career, thus by vio-
lence making the number of such crea-
lures one less, for the community's
good
