Aristucracy of the Dollar.
Tor JONES.

Tots grafton strucka popular chord as we
all realize how insufferably "stuck up" the
powerful dollar is getting to be. In it's all
but omnipitence it can make kings bow a
naughty head. india" she says sis the
home of the caste. Tt is there we find the no.
bility ruling and the slave obeying. In one
sense the life of man in India is burden for
no other reason than it is the place where
the dollar holds. America, in all her pomp
and glory boasts of no classes. But her
boast may be vain; every day brings proof. !"
She then discussed some of the fallacies Of
our people. She severely criticized the in
human practice of utilizing child labor VIII ich
came with the advent of new machinery when
it was found that a child could operate a
loom equally as we'll as an adult. Her por-
trayal of the suffering little laborers, was
touching Taking the society question she
maintained that society was controlled not
by intellect and wit, but by money and vani-
ty, citing the '400' of New York.
''It is almost impossible to enter society in
a city without the financial basis. In some
people, estimation, dress makes the person.
A girl may dress with some moderate and re-
ally rational piece of originality. but it
makes her look odd. Women are SO busy de-
Tending her little eccentricities that they
have no time to estimate her positive merits.
She is like Gibson's tinted Venus. Every
stupid spectator criticizes the tint, and not
one in a thousand thinks of the loyeliness of
the statue"
This oration was practicable and the points
made were positive ones.

The subject was dealt with understanding

blocks that should make up the ideal life. She
struck great truth squarely. when she said
that only few, and these were the success

and constantly and steadfastly bent all
their energies to consummate this plan.
Going back in the history of the human
race, when the population of the earth num-
bered but a few millions, Sue led. in well

Mr., HeaIey Assaulted.

CORK, March 25.-Timothy Healey,
NJ. p, had very rough experience in
this city to-day, being assaulted and Sc
riously injured. He had attended the
assizes, being interested in q case in
which his brother, Maurice Healey, to
whom Mr.. Parnell recently sent his ia
nous resignation challenge, had OBJ
tanned damages for libel against local
member OF the Parnellite party.
Upon leaving the court room at the
conclusion OF the trial, Mr.. Timothy
Healy was surrounded by o bowling
mob, who followed him along the street
and made numbsr Of attempts TO as
sault him.
Mr.. Healey, to escape his tormentors
was compelled to beat q retreat, and
took refuge in the dressing room OF the
Victoria hotel. A man suddenly rushed
into the room, turned out the light and
struck Mr.. Healey q powerful blow in
the face, smashing his eyeglasses into
pieces. Mr.. Healey was badly injured,
as he had received numerous cuts from
the broken pieces OF eyeglasses.
A number OF physicians we're sum-
mOned. Three doctors are now in at
tendance on the injured man. They
have made an examination OF the
wounds in his eyes and express the fear
that Mr.. Healey's injuries may result In
the loss OF his sight.

The Sugar Investigation.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Mr. Theo
Havemeyer was on the witness stand to-
day before the state senate law commit
tees. Many OF Mr.. Havemever's an
swers and the remarkable tone OF frank
ness he adopted surprised the commit
tee not little. Witness said that in
1883 his Brooklyn factory was burned
down. After some consideration, how
ever, he rebuilt at q cost of 81, 900, 900 in
eighteen months I'VE did not CAPT
talize the company at its full value, :"
said the witness. las this would have
placed Us at disadvantage as to COM
petitors, who were not forced TO pay
the taxes that we We're. The capital
was put at 100000. After consultation
with my brother, We decided TO submit
our interest and stock TO the trustees OF
the sugar refinery company and We re-
ceived therefor certain amount OF SUI
gar reiiners' certificates OF stock.
Witness said he considered the exact
amount aprivate matter which he could
not reveal to the committee. After
some questioning he finally placed the
value OF the property turned over TO
the trust at SIS, 900, 900 without consid
ering the good 100.
Senator 1rwin-"Now will you tell US.
Mr.. Havemeyer, what your reasons
were for joining all these other COM
panies?"
Witness hesitated and finally said:
81 wanted to put the other organiza-
tions on the same footing with u.s." He
left 1t to be inferred that the reason
which mainly governed him was the
general welfare Of the public. He was
asked number OF questions as to the
process and methods in use by the
Havemeyers, which had enabled them
to refine shugar cheaply. His chief
objection to making this and other
''private" matters public was that COM
petitors and public would benefit with
out any right, by the years OF labor, ex-
perience and money which has been ex-
pended in the evolution Of these pro-
ceSSeS.

Since my last piece appeared in the
columns OF your paper, have changed
my place of residence, and will now
write to you from my present home.
We bade farewell to home and friends
in CampbellsvilIe on the seventh morn
ing of January. 81; had very pleasant
drive to Pu' 'aski, where we spent the
night. The next morning we started
on our journey to the "far west" We
saw, on our TRIP many sights, new aud
beautiful to n. g, the tall pine trees, with
their wealth OF moss floating gracefully
in the wind, and palms were plentiful
in the low, fiat fields through which we
passed. Orange trees, laden with beau
ful yellow oranges were in profusion.
We spent nearly whole day in New
Orleans, but the weather was so disa-
greeable we couldn't see much of the
city, 1t was great novelty to us to
watch the boats CROSS the riYer,-the
waves were rolling high anu the great
Mississippi seemed to be in perfect
tumult. We reached the city of HOus-
ton, Texas at about eight O'Clock next
morning, where we spent the hours
very pleasantly. We passed through
reached our journeys end at four in the
where loved ones were wait
ing to meet us. The wind has been
blowing ever since we came, as if King
Aeolus had unlocked the door of his
cavern and given the winds permission
to roam at will. We have had two
small rains this week, and The dreaded
black mud keeps us in doors. The
country here is little rolling mot so
level as some we saw on the road-but
it is considered fine farming country.
There is large number OF Tennesseans
in and around Manor, and several of
