SUGAR BOUNTY LICENSE.

A dispatch from Washington. dated
March SOth. says that the commission
or of internal revenue has prepared a
series of regulations for the enforce
ment of the provisions of the McKin-
ley tariff act, in regard to the bounty
on sugar Of domestic production. They
prescribe that all producers of sugar
who intend to apply for the bounty on

The study of history is all nonsense
when it is possible for man to wipe it
out or change it by wave of the hand.
The Wichita Eagle thus knocks ancient
history into cooked hat: The down
fall of every great nationality is trace
able to the extremes of women who had
gotten outside of their spheres. All
the blood of the dread French commune
lies at the door of woman. Russian
nihilism and French socialism ofto-day
would die out but for the women who
feed tbs fires. IT the present Alliance
ever brings trouble to this country and
its homes, it will be through its female
element.

The Leavenworth Standard describes
tie Topeka Capital as the only repub-
lican paper in Kansas. The Capital
then racks ITS brain to name a lot of
republican papers, and names nine,
and says there are dozen more. This
only makes twenty-five. 1t is possible
that the Capital admits that there are
only twenty-five loyal republican pa
pers in the state? The Cresset, Kiowa
journal and Harper Graphic are not in
the list.

There is some inclination on the part of
our republican friends to boom the Nc
Kinley bill for removing the tariff from
sugar. 1t would be well for them to
study two points we'll, before the boom
goes too far: First, how much benefit
the consumer will get; second, why was
il not removed ten years ago?

Another benefit arising from this plan
is this: Farmers would not be COM
PEELED to sacrifice their property in or
der to meet their interest, taxes, grocery
bills or any other incidental expenses,
but could meet these obligations with
money borrowed from the government.
and they would be enabled to hold their
crops until the best prices would suggest
that it was time to sell and at the same
time the interest arising from this
method which accrues to the govern
ment would take the place of taxes and
would enable us to do away with part.
at least, of our heavy revenue tax. and
in place of its being paid to private in
dividuals it would be paid unto our
selves, thus taking from tlsury its power
to rob. But while there are MANY ben.
efits arising from this plan yet men will
raise frivolous objections of one kind
or another, but notice the principal OBJ
lection comes from the manipulators Of
subsidized press. They say that it is
class legislation. When were those fell
lows brought to look with such degree
of horror upon class legislation? They
become very much opposed to it all at
once. Poor fellowsl They want to see
the government conducted upon princi-
pies of exact justice to all and special
privileges to none. And yet those fell
lows that cry class legislation the loud
est are those that are continually voting
bonds and subsidies and believe in
maintaining the national banking svs-
tenn. Now to dispassionate observer
it is impossible to see wherein any class
will be benefited more than another.
for when the crops are thrown upon the
market there is numeral decline of
prices, whereas, if the money volume
was increased at that particular season,
prices would remain stationary and in
this particular it would affect every
nook and corner of the country alike.
AS far as the individual owner of the
product is concerned, he had as well
or better borrow money from the gov
eminent than from the banks, and In.
dividually he receives little more bene-
fit from the transaction than If he had
issued his own note. But the great
benefit accrues to the whole country,
from the fact that it causes the money
volume to keep pace with the increased
business.
Again, it is said to be demonstrations
al Now money lenders have great love
for the constitution all at once. How
long has it been so? Those who say
the sub-treasury plan is not in accord
ance with our fundamental law are the
same fellows who had silver unconsti-
tutionally demonetized in 1878. Consti-
buttons don't stand in the way when
the appetite of the money monger is to
be grati6ed, but they can set up dis
NAL howl if the people demand legisla-
ton in their favor. But much as may
pc said TO the contrary the constitution
i is intended to promote the welfare of
the people and any measure lo~,x,no To
this end is certainl- according to the

Among The EIongols.

Medicines also are much sought after
by them, says a writer III the Centu1u.
speaking of the Mongols. While | was
at Dulan-kuo nearly every one in the
village came 10 see me, and most of the
people asked for medicines, whether
they were suffering from any complaint
or not. Piasters were in great de-
mand, rs all the villagers had rheuma-
tism, and the tighter the plasters stuck
the better they were held to be. | had
with me a bottle of Eno's fruit salts,
and tried to give some to the people,
but when they saw the salts boiling and
fizzing they thought there must be
some magic about the medicine and
would have none of it.
Most of their troubles, sores and eve
diseases come from dirty habits. but
one can never persuade them of the
necessity OF keeping clean. A friend
of mine was once travelling among the
Mongo,s and an old crone came to him
and begged some medicine TO put on a
sore. He told her that before apply
inc the saive it would be necessary 10
wash herself. She gave it back to
him, saying: Il am siEty-scven years
old, and | have never washed in my
life; do You suppose am going to be-
gin now?'
Mon@ol physicians feel the patients
pnlse OH both wrists at the same time,
and never ask any questions; or at
least none concerning the origin and
progress Of the complaint, for il they
did it would be held that they had
shown ignorance in their profession.

Birds Are Good Scholars.

Before the war" said an old trav-
elcr, Il was in the South quite a good
deal. and stopped at both the cities of
Savannah aud Charleston, and while at
these places | noticed that on market
days large number Of turkey buzz
yards would be seen perched on the
roofs of the market houses, gazing
down into the streets. | was told bN a
friend that such sights were common
on market days and if | waited | could
see why tie birds came. | did so and
found that they descended to the
ground aud hunted for stray pieces of
meat, as soon as the market space was
vacated. | also learned what was
more Interesting fact. that the buz-
yards flew from one city to the other 10
regular succession on market DAYS.
This habit of being fed regularly is
soon learned by birds. and they will
flock to their feeding ground with the
precision OF clock-wOrk. In Venice
there is Il flock of pigeons that are fed
every day III the public square, and
the birds are on hand as regularly as
noon comes, An Italian lady left be-
quest 10 provide for their feeding"

A Family of Jokers.

There is Scotch family in the city
of Washington noted for the practical
jokes which its members play upon one
another. The oldest son is n regular
crank about his high hat He has worn
the same one for years. Every third
season it is reblocked, and after its
visit to the halter it Is always exhibited
as being good as new" Recently this
young man went to Europe, but he did
not take the hat. He left word at
home, however, that he would cable for
the mucli-beloyed tile if he should need
it. When he reached London he found
a cablegram from one of his brothers,
which read
Want hats
As the message was sent collect" :"
the recipients anger was great. He
cablcd back No" On his arrival in
Paris the young man was handed
another dispatch, also marked collect,
from the same brother. 1t read:
Want hat nOw?o This time he was
more than angry and did rot answer.
When he reched Berlin, two weeks
later, he found his old silk hat awaiting
him with the eXpressagc unpaid, and
another cablegram: Have you got
your hat?" He paid the charges. and
then, boiling over with rage, cabled
back: Yes, | have confound YOU,
and it has cost me $7j." And the Joke
of it was that, in the heat of his anger
and confusion, he paid for this last
message, but he says he will wear that
hat till he dies, for he can't afford to
buy another.
Another brother in the same family
had birthday Il short time ago, and
on that morning tclegraphed his
mother. asking: How old am I?n
The Youngest son was home when the
message came, and asked permission to
answer it. He sent the following tele-
gram in reply. with the comment that
he thought Tom wouldn't ask again bv
wire how old he was:
Thomas Charles Dent son of Hugh
Thomas and Mary Ann James Dent.
and grandson of Thomas Caldwell
Dent, who married Mary Martha Slack
and subsequently, Sarah Louise Smith,
was born in the city of Washington,
d. c., in the year Of our Lord 1852.
He was homcly baby aud did not
walk till two years old. and even now
walks with limp, having broken his
ankle when he was ten years old. AS
a student he did not amount to much,
for he ran away from school when
thirteen and never went back. He has
since developed into very bright
man, having inherited the ability of
Thomas Charles Dow, Mary Ann
James and Thomas James Dow; and
the family are living in the hope that
he will soon recover his memory, which
has failed rapidly during The past year.
