EUROPE will not pay fancy prices for
wheat. There will be about so much
money spent for American grain and
if prices are forced very high there is
every reason to believe that Europe
will limit her purchases. The poor
there have only so much money and
when that is gone they cannot enter
the market. Fair prices will pay
better in the end than any combins-
ton for an undue rise

GOVERNOR PATTIsON wants to
select the committee of five experts
himself whom he desires to examine
the books of the Keystone bank to
see how much state money was de-
posted there. The city of Phlladel-
phia is not exactly willing, as she
has several thousands missing some
where in the precincts of that bank.
The idea of attempting to saddle the
republican party of Pennsylvania
with the crookedness of the Keystone
bank is q democratic inspiration.

THE democratic Journals of the
south have taken no little interest in
the color question, as sprung in the
Grand Army of the Republic. at it's
late session in Detroit. Most of them
assume to see rupture of the G.. A.
R., unless the color line is drawn, and
an abandonment of the whole busi-
ness of the Grand Army by the
southern posts. The Houston Post,
commenting on the situation, says:
at seems strange that after twenty
five years of existence, without the
mention of the color line in the
Grand Army of the Republic, the
ques ton has at last forced its way
into the organization, and its final
disposition at the presnt annual en-
nual encampment at Detroit, will be
watched with general interest. The
questions that led to carrying the
matter before the National encamp.
ment originated in Louisiana.
Commander Hedges, OF the depart
ment of Louisiana, is quoted as saying
that unless the matter is Strengthened
out during this encampment there
will not te white member of the
Grand Army of the Republic south of
the Ohio or the Potomac year hence.
1t seems that rs, 900 colOred men Ell
listed in the Union from Louisiana
alone, and they claim that they were
regularly enlisted and therefore had
all the rights OF ex. soldiers to form
posts. They have nine posts in the
state with mem bership of 1000, but
they claim that they are not recog-
nized by the commander of their state
department They furthermore say
that they do not want social recogni-
ton and that the organization is not a
social one, but historic and frater-
nal one"
The question promises to agitate
the national encampment from center
to circumference, ana final outcome
will be watched with considerable
interest"
The Post had received it's answer
ere then in the action of the G. A. r.
It stands by its colors and makes no
distinction in bership. A loyal
Union soldier, so far as mem bership
in the Grand Army is concerned, is
without any color. The flag covers
one army. The sentiment on this
subject was so strong at Detroit that
the resolutions affirming it were
passed by viva voce vote. Now the
predicted dlsmemberment can be
watched for.

EVILS OF CIVILIZATION.
Abnormal Conditions More or Loss Unfa-
vorab Q to Health.

Abnormal Conditions More or Less Unfa-
vorab Q to Health.
Civilization abounds in artificial, alb
normal conditions, many Of which must
be moro or less unfavorable to health.
To some extent the samo thing is true
OF the lower animals and even OF vege-
tables. The domesticated horse is far
more delicate than bis wild progenitor,
and the wild potato probably has no
such tendency to rot as is manifested
by Its cultivated progeny .ns
Modern civilization makes all tAe ma
tions eighbors-sharers not only OF
each others blessings but Of each
others vices and diseases. Yellow fever,
dengue, cholera, typhus fever and la
grippe all reach us from abroad.
Meantime the progress OF the United
States as nation is not without its bad
side. Young mon abandon the quiet
and invigorating life Of the farm for
the exciting and in some respects de-
moralizing and embedding life Of the
city. The young women leave the nor
NAL and healthful work OF the home for
the exhausting toll OF the shop and the
beggarly life os the boarding-housc.
II manufacturers give us cheaper and
cheaper goods they do so at large ex-
penditure OF human health and life. At
the same time they crowd the great CEN
ters with population hard to as
simulate and pervadcd with its own un-
healthy and vicious tendencies.
Even our schools OF which we are
justly so proud, greatly aid in propa-
eating the diseases. of childhood, be.
sides producing g general tendency to
defective vision and letting down OF
the general health.
The increasingly minute division OF
labor, so beneficial in some respects,
must have belittling effect upon the
laboror, AS one said many years ago,
the manufacture OF pin by the divided
labor Of several different persons gives
us excellent pins, but poor mechanics,
and, worse yet, poor men and women.
Among other ills Of civilization are
overworked brains; various forms OF
nervous exhaustion; the worries Of do
nestle and social life; the ruinous
greed OF wealth. tho disastrous results
'oi excessive business competition; the
diseases and vices naturally attendant
upon luxury; the crowding together OF
The ignorant and depraved in large

''To Judge from their looks and &C.
lions | should imagine they would as
soon stick one of their long, cleaning
knives into me as they would into bull
lock-" said Percy.
'oh, no; not one Of them dare lay q
hand on you unless you attempt to es-
cape, without my orders, was the reply.
Then you propose to force me to
spend the rest OF my natural life on this
farm among these blood-curdling sur
roundings?"
"Unless you will comply with condi-
tions that l will name, do most
certainly" answered the Spaniard.
"And what are your conditions?"
asked Percy.
Few and simple" was the reply.
Get your friends to pay me ransom
Of ten thousand American dollars and
you are free tho day they pay it. But
should they make the least attempt to
effect your rescue will kill you with
my own hands, II need be, to prevent
it."
'Tf my friends were asked to pay the
money they would refuse, knowing that
by determined effort they could re-
lease me without doing so. As such an
effort would only cost me my life, l
shall not ask them to take other means
to effect my delivery"
'In few weeks you may change your
mind, SO will give you little time to
think ii over. In the meantime you
will remain hero and do whatever Mr..
Van Nepp deems necessary and proper.
II you refuse him 1t will be so much
the worse for YOU" These we're the
last words the Spaniard uttered as he
rode away.
Shortly afterwards Percy was we'll
and strong again. He did not devote his
time to uselessly bewailing his fate,
but went to work at whatever the
Dutchman told him to do and en-
deavored to do his utmost to please. He
had an object in carrying out this course

ance again when Van Nepp also seemed
to be growing friendly to him. In one
brief week this friendship had improved
and grown TO such degree that he
would take Percy with him very often
