Heed the Warning.

1t is not infrequently the case that
itching pimp,es and irritating "cat bOils''
are the forerunners OF larger boils, or the
more serious carbuncles. Invariably
Nature puts out her danger signals, and
they should he needed at once. The
pimpes and lttle boIls show that the
blood is not III good condition and
nature Is trying TO relieve the system. A
few doses of Swift's Specific at this june
ture will accomplish wonders. The erup-
ton will be healed and the system cleans
ed of its Impurities. The modern para
phrase OF the old saying, "a stitch in
time" ETC., is that "J'imely stitches will
save nine pairs of beeches." The modern
form has a touch OF humor that does not
moo ify the trath of it. In that vein, we
may say that course of Swift's Specific
prevents ills terrific.

The oloott Debt Committee.


The Richmond correspondent of the

"The announcement that the. Oicott

Virginia debt, will be here very shortly

correct. While the officials at the capitol
profess to be ignorant about tho move

is believed that at least one of the officers
has been informed Of the purpose oil the
committee to come here in week or Ten.
days. The plan will DO submitted TO the

assembly, Just before it adjourned little

of this committee, and If he chooses, re

to consider the proposition. The COVER

would not even consider any plan for the

A SENSIBLE ITALIANS VIEWS.
WASHINGTON Star.


One of the most prominent Italian resi-
dents of Washington, Mr. Joseph Cato,
in a conversation with a Star Exporter to-
day, said "lf those men were guilty Of
the murder of Chief of Police Hennessy
they got no more than they deserved, es-
pecially if the jury had been cowed by
threats so that the members were afraid
to briHg in verdict against them. This
country is for Americans, and there is no
room for peopl5 of the sort that the muir
derers OF Hennessy wonld seem to have
been. 1t IS a mistake to think that all
Italians are alike. We are all under one
flag, but there are black sheep under that
flag as well as any other. The better
class of Italians in this city have taken
no steps to show any sympathy for the
men who were lynched IN New Orleans,
nor has any money been subscribed to be
sent south. The Italian society here
has held no meeting.
"That class of people represented by
the men who were shot IN New Orleans
should be kept out of the country III the
first place. They do not come here with
any intention of becoming good citizens
and they are the very lowest class of peo-
pie in the places they come from. They
are brought here in big bands to do con-
tract work under padrones, and they are
led or driven like so many sheep. Ii they
choose to commit crimes aud it is then
found that the law cannot reach them, it Is
no more than is to be expected that the
people should take the law into their own
hands. 1t is not race trouble at all,
but trouble between the people and
lot of law breakers. Whether the right
method of punishment was used or not is
altogether another question"
In answer to the reporters questions
Mr. Cato denied most emphatically that
there was any branch of the Malta in
Washington.

That the South is developing too fast
and that there are too many business en-
terprises being established reminds us of
the story of Benjamin Franklin asking
for his wife. When he appealed to the
cold lady" for consent to have her daugh-
ter in marriage, she objected on the
ground that there was already one print
ing Office in America, and she doubted
whether be could make living with the
second one. Poor old lady, what would
she think were she alive to-day and could
know just bow many printing 1ffices
there are in America now. Wait and
you will see whether there are too many
enterprises. Like this simple woman,
You may be as tar off as she was and that

How the Prices Of Our Farm
Products are Determined.

The size of the crop is the thing that
determines the size of tho prices. There
is demand for certain amount OF farm
products from year to year, and the
prices rise or fall as the supply sinks
below OF goes beyond this demand. The
theorists may talk as much as they please
about other Influences, but the question
is at least only one of quantity. Inc
world must have so many bushels Oh
grain per year, and it will pay therefor
simply so much 40 1t is obliged to, con-
siderlng the available surplus. There IS
no process of legislation by which ad
ditional sales can be forced when the de-
mand has once been supplied it is not
in the power of Congress to compel pull
chase-s to take more than they want, or
TO give more than they are willing TO pay
The fact that the crop of a given year Is IN
excess of the measure of consumption
cannot be concealed. 1t is known every
where, and prices adjusted accordingly
When the crop is short, the same rule ap-
plies, and the markets are correspond
ingiy affected. Ii the farmers could
manage to produce only enough each
wear to meet the known demand, they
would always obtain just and fair prices.
1t is Oyerproduction, in other words, that
puts prices down for them, and they can
not expect to have prices kept up for
them under such circumstances by any
sort Of artificial force.-St. Louis GLOBE

Nature Will Have Her Way.


In all this wide world no two sadder,
more heart broken sufferers can be found
than old Judge Warder and his daughter
in Chattanooga.
The wild work Of moment, when the
Judge was crazed 10y drink, wrecked and
ruined once and happy little family.
Without reason, and perhaps without
consciousness, the Judge shot and killed
his son.in-law, wounded his daughter, and
himself received a ball which may yet
cause his death.
For weeks the unhappy father has lin
gered on a bed of pain. DryeninsaDe by re
morse, he refuses to take nourlshment.
Bat there is one devoted watcher by his
bedside who is struggling heroically to
save him.
The daughter, widowed by her fathers
frenzied hand, and plunged into the
depths of hopeless sorrow, spends sleep
less nights trying to sOothe tie delirious
sick man, and by her geutle pleading per-
suades him too take enough food to keep
alive.
1t is pathetic and pitiful. But it is
glorious Nature touching those two tor
tured hearts with a ray of her divine pow
err A daughters love speaks out and
blesses her husbands destroyer, and 1T
must at times make itself felt and tighten
the burden Of woe now crushing the
wretched man who is the object OF her
tender care.
The old Judge is now trying to starve
himself to death, but he cannot resist his
daughter. If he lives the physicians say
that he will be insane, Even now he
recognizes nobody, with the exception of
his child-the widow of the man he slew
in his drunken rage.
The great bard said that one touch OF
Nature makes all the world kin. 1t has
bound this despairlng father and daIgh-
ter together in love so pure and holy
that while the world may wonder, it will
also weep. A story so fall of tragedy
and patbos has rarely shocked our read
ers; may God forbid that its like shall
ever occur again
