The Mortgage,

s. W. FosS in Yankee Blade.
He bought in 1865 farm of stumps and stones;
His name was God-B Be Glorified, his surname it
was Jones;
He put mortgage on toe farm. and then, in
conscious pride,
I'm twenty years I'll pay it up" said God Be
Gloritied
The mortgage had hungry NAV that swal-
lowed corn and wheat;
He toiled with patience night and day to let the
monster eat;
He slowly worked himself to DEATH and on the

And the farm, with its incumhrances of mort
gage, stuulps and stones,
IL fell to young Meichizedek Paul Adoniram
Jones'
Melcbizedek was likely youth, holy, cody
man,
And he vowed to raise that mortgage like a
noble Puritan.
And he went forth every morning to the rugged
mountain-slde.
And he dug, as dug before him, poor old God-Be-
Gloriiied;
He raised pumpkins and potatoes down the
monsters throat to pour;
He gulped them down and smacked his jaws,
and calmly asked for more.
He worked until his back was bent until his
On the hillside through the snowdrift they dug

For the monster by his doorstep growlsd per-

He fed him on his garden truck, he stuffed his
ribs with hay
And he fed him eggs and butter but he would

And Elip1alet he staggered with the burden,

Thomas fell to John,
Then from John to Eleazur, but the mortgage
still lived on,
Then it fell to Ralph and Peter, Eli. Absolem

gage killed them all!
About score Of years ago, the farm came down
to Jim
And Jim called in the mortgage and gave the
farm to him.
There's no human heart so empty that it has no
ray OF hope
So Jim gave up the ancient farm and went to
making soap.
He grew fty-millionaire, a bloated, pam
pered nature,
He owned ten railroads, twenty mines, and
the whole state legislature;
And thousands did his gruff commands, and
lived upon his bounty;
| And he came home, bought back the farm and
the entire country.

Florida,s Senatorial Contest.

1t locks very much as if Senator Call, Of
Florida, would be chosen to succeed himself
The opposition TO him is gradually beeom-
ing weaker. Indeed. it looks as if the OPP
position would not be able to unite upon q
candidate A few days ago it was thought
that Mr.. Dunn. Of Ocala. would be the OPP
position candidate, but he is virtually out Of
the race.
Il seems TO be evident that the alliance
members cannot agree upon a candidate.
They are a majority of the legislature on
joint ballot, and could name the senator II
they would act together, but are divided In
their preferences. The president Of the ALI
ance is opposed to Senator Call, because
he has information that the senator Is
an advocate Of national banks and has
respect for only one kind Of money, and
that is gold. The senator, however, declares
that this information is incorrect. He says
that be is not friendly TO national banks.
and is ready to vote for as much of any
other kind Of sound money as the agri-
cultural interests may need. Under the
circumstances, therefore, the president Of
tae alliance has very little reason for OPP
posing the election Of Senator Call.
But the senator has great many friends
among the alliance members. 1t would not
be surprising IL at least half of them we're
willing to help re-elect him. However. it
will not be known how great his strength
among the alliance members is until vote
is taken, because they are not talking freely
relative to the course they will pursue when
the balloting begins. Perhaps they heve
not yet decided upon their course.
1t is evident that Senator Call has
pretty strong hold upon the people of Flor
ida. And one Of the reasons he has is that
he is a sterling democrat. He stood shoulder
to shoulder with the democratic leaders in
the Senate last winter in opposition to the
force bill. and has stood squarely with his
party on all important questions during the
twelve years he has been in the Senate
1t is doubtful if the people of Florida
could find man who would serve them
more faithfully or with greater ability. He
is with the people in their fight against
trusts and monopolies, and during his two
terms Of service he was seldom absent from
his post of duty.
OF course there are plenty of other good
democrats in Florida who would be credit
to their state in the Senate, but no one has
Senator Calls experience. One of the rea-
sons why the south has such weight in con-
gress is that abe REFLECTS her senators and
representatives term after term. Congress
men Of experience have great advantage
over new men.
Among the people of Florida there is very
little opposition to Senator Call. They
have no reason to find fault with him. The
opposition comes from those whose inter
ests be has opposed or who wish to get him
out Of the way Of their own political ad-
vapcement. Under the circumstances,
therefore, it would not be surprising if he
should be elected very soon after the ballot
ing begins.

Found q New Freak.

When P. T. Barnum was in the museum bust
ness in New York, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
one of his most jovial friends was Gaylord
Clark, a famous litterateur in the days of our
fathers. They were . well-matched pair Of
practical jokers. One day when Mr.. Clark
dropped into the museum. as was his custom,
Mr.. Barnum, apparently much excited, hurried
his friend into his private Office and said:

chase the most wonderful of all geological

Farmers want Reduced Freiehts.

] Farmers Want Reduced Freights-
! Whether the maximum freight bill
| recently introduced and passed in the
| Nebraska legislature by the farmer Mem
/ bers was really intended TO give the state
/ full control Of the railway freight charges,
or was merely what is called a strike in
eastern political parlaIce, cannot be easily
decided. At all events it is lost, notwith-
standing the heroic efforts made to pass it
over the governors veto.
| Possibly it will not prove a great loss to
the state. Placing the railroads so entirely
in the hands of political authority presents
too strong a temptation 10 weak officials to
tamper with a very important interest.
Injudicious meddiing with such interests
by inexperienced people sometimes does in
calculable harm, although the purposes
prompting such interference may be Of the
very best.
Whether the bill previously referred to
was introduced simply to make the rail-
roads "come down" for the alliance cam
paign fund, or was a bona fide measure of
restraint upon possible railway encroach-
ments is not nearly so clear as the fact that
the introduction Of the resolution visibly
depressed the ratings Of all Nebraska rail
way shares in the markets, and the COVER
nors veto sent them up like a rocket.
Knowing the probable result Of that sort
OF legislation if the farmer Statesmen were
mot in it," they were great deal slower
than the majority Of western professional
farmers. ASIDE from the bad look that il has
in the public view such legislation is highly
injurious to the party proposing it as well
as the interests involved. 1t mauifests a
radical tendency that shakes public conf
dence and inspires distrust.
Any member Of the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association who had inside infcrma-
ton could have been greatly benefited by
selling that stock short for the decline caused
by the ''strike." and buying it long for the
jump on the governors veto. But it would
have had rather bad look.

Washington to Have a Big Hotel.

At last Washington, D. c., is to have a
f1rst-class hotel. According to the newspa-
per accounts it is to be an immense build
ing, and is to cost 81, 500, 900. Mr. John w.
Mackay. one of the bonanza kings, and
other capitalists, are to build it. They have
already secured the land, for which they
paid S400, 200.
Mr.. Mackay is reported as saying that be
intends the hotel for winter guests and ex-
poets that it will serve pretty much the
same purpose as the Ponce de Leon, at st.
Augustine, and the De Soto, in Savannah.
Washington has long needed firstclass
hotel. 1t has number of good hotels, b ut
no one Of them really CONES up to what is
thought to be a first-class house.
But the interesting fact In connection
with the projected new hotel is that it is to
be built away from what is now regarded
| as the center Of the town. The site Of it is
at the head Of Sixteenth street, on the north
| side of Florida avenue. A very few years
ago this location was on the boundary line
Of the city.
But Washington is growing wonderfully.
Within the next decade, perhaps, the pro-
jected hotel will be in the center of the
fashionable part of the residence section of
the city. Rich men from all parts of the
country are going to Washington to live,
and the most of them build fine houses.

When Henry Woods sued Henry Gledhill
for $4,000 damages for kissing Mrs. Woods
the jury heard the confession that recipro-
cal kissing was customary between the two
families. and decided that the husband was
not perceptibly damaged by the kisses thus
consumed. So they virtually declared the
smacks not worth anything. Naturally

Overfiows Of the Mississippi are said to be
seriously damaging oyster plantations by
covering them up with the mud deposits SO
that the bivalves cannot feed and are finally
smothered. Here is a new difficulty to be
dealt with. Baritaria bay oyster beds will
probably be damaged to the amount Of
100000 or more. Yet there is apparently
no way of renedying the difficulty. Oyster
planting has lately been thriving near New
Orleans and this menace to its future
growth is depressing.
