His Pride Hunhlad.

In the sixteenth century, of the many proud
mobiles in England the Duke of Somerset was
one of the proudest, says Harper's Young
People He never condescended to speak to his
servants; they oheyed him by signs. His foot
man wore the some livery as the kings foot
men, and when he travelled, outriderS were sent
TO clear the roads of all passers, that 10 vulgar
eyes might see him ride by.
Once q countryman who was fastening home,
driving before him a hog, happened to be on
the highway where the duke TO pass.
Get out of the road as fast you can"
cried the dukes servant, brandishing sword.
Why must turn out?" asked the astonishe1
countryman. 81 am in great haste to get home,
and my pig is troublesome"
What does that matter? Get out,' insisted
the Outrider. My lord duke does not wish TO
be looked at. Here comes his coach
Indeed exclaimed the indignant man
Then l will look at him, and my pig shall see
him too" And in spite of the servants protests.
he held the squeakng animal up by the ears
before the astonished eyes OF the duke, and
Kept him so while the coach drove by.

Cost of a Free Lunch.

One of those big stylish saloons so common
nowadays was opened with great eclat the other
night says the New York Commercial, and the
proprietors set out free lunch that evoked
much commentator and mastication For
they supplied hot and cold meats soups and
various other incidentals.
Among those attracted happened to be a tall
party in homespun, with a patch of honest
country dirt on his face. He patronized the
lunch counter steadily for half an hour, and
succeeded in disposing of quite meal. Finally
quiet little man, with countenance like
bulldog, tapped him on the shoulder.
Fifty cents please, he said
What forf' inquired the astonished
stranger.
DO you think we feed people for fun?''
1ueried the city man, angry light in his
eye will you pay, or would you rather
hght?"
With many signs the countryman handed
over 30 cents, and immediately skunk out of the
place. The little man with the bulldog expires
sion held the coin in his hand a moment and
gazed at it intently.
This means ten beers he muttered CRATE

In a speech at Port Richmond, New York,
last Wednesday, Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of
Texas, said: "In the last thirty years
paternalism has been extending its bound
aries aud liberty has been contracting hers.
The government has been prescribing the
hours of labor. II it has the right to
prescribe eight hours, it has the right to
prescribe twenty four. 1t has neither. !"
There is a good deal of truth in what Mr..
Mills says about paternalism. And if the
government should be made the depository
of the crops. and the owner of all the rail-
road and telegraph lines in the country, the
boundaries OF paternalism would be so ex-
tended that those of liberty would be COM
pletely shut out of view.

Whatever may be the final result of the

Seminary say that it will not materially
affect the status of the seminary further
than that the discussion has brought In
large additional contributions to its funds.
Its endowment is said to be fixed and IN

of The trouble has been caused chiefly by the
Vaccinations of Princeton College, q
prominent director of the seminary says.
That he considers doubly unbecoming in
Princeton. since he claims that the great
freedom from the dominance of the church
which that college now enjoys is due en-
tirely to the efforts of Union Seminary. II
that be the case Princeton has certainly ILL

Now that Quay and Dudley are out Harri
son finds himself no better of than he was be-
fore. Even now the majority against him in
the republican national executive commit
tee is overwhelming. No one appears to be
more deeply sensible Of how much the party
is weakened by the loss Of those two most
adroit and able Of its leaders than Clarkson,
who is promoted by their retirement. But
be has not the binding egotism of Harrison,
and ne readily sees that such men cannot be
easily replaced. Therefore he seems to feel
commensurately glum and disguised with
the aspiring descendant Of Grandfather
Harrison.

The Boston Post, commenting upon an
article in the MORNING NEWS relative to
the question of permitting passenger steam
ships to carry cotton. says: THE SAvAN-
NAH NEWS disputes the assertion recently
made in the British House of Lords TO the
effect that cotton fires are much more FREE
quent in American than in Indian cargoes,
the reason being that the former are care
lessy handled and packed" No, the MORN
ING NEWS did not dispute the assertion that
cotton fires are more frequent in Ameri-
can than in Indian cargoes." 1t disputed
the assertion that there is carelessness with
respect to fire in handling cotton at south
ern ports The Post should be less careless
in making assertions.

All, have a love!
But who will eer know it
When I dare not show it?
Yet she sees that love her,
By the wide sky above her
And the great world below it,
Such boundless passion must move her.
Yes, l love my love.
But must say it never,
Till death must endeavor
To hush it each moment of life.
o, more than human or demon strife,
Moe fatal than deedliest battle-knife
Is 70 love and be silent forever.
Yes I must love.
The hills are more green;
wild spell is on each scene.
My hearts very doom is pleasant.
AS the atmosphere
Flows everywhere,
So her presence is omnipresent.
Who may kill love?
Could the word be spoken,
And my heart broken,
Still | would not say:
Speak the word, break my heart.
Let the wild dream depart
And the shame of the JOY go away"
No. such is love,
Like stream whose source
Is in sunlight, but whose course
Is lost in a cave,
So life shines little while
In loves radiant smile,
Ere it sinks into the grave.

The Convict Lease System.

The recent emphatic protest of the miners
at Briceville, Tenn, against the employ
ment Of convicts in competition with free
labor was the beginning of a movement
against the convict lease system that will
result in putting an end to that system.
In no one of the states in which the sys"
TEN exists is it popular. The people do not
demand that It shall be changed because
they do not know a substitute for it that
will not impose upon them heavy burden.
The governor of Tennessee has called an
extra session Of the legislature TO meet on
Aug. II TO consider the question Of abolish
ing the lease system. The state
has no penitentiary buildings.
Those it had were destroyed by
fire some time ago. The building contained
a good deal Of machinery suitable for manu-
featuring cotton goods. To rebuild the
penitentiary and purchase machinery for
manufacturing purposes will take good
deal of time aud cost large sum of money
The legislature, therefore, will have very
serious problem to solve when it meets, and
there is no way in which the problem can
be solved that will not increase the tax
burden of the people, and TO increase that
will cause discomfort.
If the suggestion frequently made by the
MORNING NEWS should be adopted, namely,
employ the convicts in making and repair
ing public roads, the cost Of feeding, cloth
ing and guarding the convicts would have
to be borne by the people, but the benefit
they would derive from the labor Of the
conyicts would more than compensate them
for the increased burden they would have
to bear
In about all the states in which the lease
system exists there is great need of better
roads In this state there are few, II any,
counties in which the roads are not almost
wholly neglected. There is pretense made
Of working them, but that is about ALL If
convicts were distributed among the coun-
ties and employed upon public works
there is one thing that would have to be
guarded against, and that is the using of
them so as to benefit those who have charge
of them rather than the public.
Tie states which lease their convicts
might as well begin at once to prepare for
abolishing the lease system. The agitation
in favor of change has been begun in Ten
nessee and this state and it will soon be be-
gun in others. Public sentiment is against
the system and it's doom is virtually sealed.
1t is time for the lending men of the states
interested to begin to think of a substitute
for the system.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 1891.

Banker Pemberton is red-hot about the
vigorous proceedings Of that Chattanooga
petty sheriff who entered his bank through
window at midnight to collect a bill.
With some show of reason he regards it as
high-handed outrage, and talks of bring
ing suits for heavy damages against the
creditors of a land company of which he is
president for instigating the act. Really it
appears to casual observer from the out
side that Mir. Pemberton has good grounds
for his indignation. However much man
might individually owe that would scarcely
justify creditor in breaking into his house
to collect his debt Especially would this
be unlawful at the unseemly hour of mid
night when only marauders, policemen and
journalists are supposed to be abroad-the
two latter to look after the former. But in
this case it appears that the debt was not
an individual obligation. but claim against
a corporation in which the injured person
was merely joint stakeholder. In view
Of this the creditors might as we'll have
broken into the mans private residence.
Wisconsin has melancholy example of
the danger of convicting a culprit upon cir
cumstantial evidence. When a street car
conductor was shot and robbed in Milwau-
kee eight years ago two youths were con.
victed of the crime and sentenced to the
penitentiary. Now it turns out that one
Patrick Toohey, brother of the city prose
cutting attorney, was the highwayman
Soon afterward the robber confessed to a
priest who allowed the innOcent man IN re-
main in prison three years. and until one
Of them was dying Of confinement, before
he disclosed to the governor the real crimi-
nal in order to liberate the innocent suffer
ers for the crime. Meanwhile the man who
was shot had become a mental wreck and
his wife went violently insane. Yet that
criminal was allowed to go at liberty and
the innocent suffered for the guilty. Exact
justice is very scarce in this world.
