THE DUTY OF THE PERSON.
Too Much Reliance Is Placed on the Gov
ernment by Individuals.


ernment by Individuals.
Detroit Free Press.1
In certain directions there ia a sense of
responsibility about the average Amerf-
can citizen which seems almost unaccount-
able in view of the privileges OF individual
sovereignty secured to him. He appears i'm
bued with the idea that when he has cast
his ballot at the intervals prescribed by law
he has done his full duty as citizen, any
embarrassing contingencies arising there
after being matter entirely with the Gov
ernment of which he fails to realize that he
is an integral part.
This disposition is not confined to matters
of legislation at home or the adjustment of
international differences to which the United
States is a party, but has been plainly mani
tested since the threatened invasion OF
cholera. There is in a vast majority of
cases vague dependence upon constituted
authorities and an underlined conviction
that the Government must drive back the
plague from the doorways of the country
or suffer the consequences. This is short
sighted TO a degree little less than criminal
Each individual thus offending wrongs him
self with all the rest of his fellow citizens
He forgets that however faithful and eff
cient the sanitary administration of affairs
may be- it must fall short of proper effective
ness unless supplemented by a general and
comprehensive system of personal SANTA
tion.
To aid in the general work of prevention
Is duty that each individual owes to him
self, his neighbor and society at large. He
cannot only look best and most carefully
after the household, the manner of living
and the sanitary environments, but he alone
can enforce in his own case and the cases of
those whom he legally controls respect Tor
all the laws or hygiene. 1t is of course true
that this duty is a continuous one, but pub
lie opinion will apprehend it more keenly
and seek its enforcement more earnestly in
the lace of q threatened epidemic
There is point beyond these material
considerations which should not be over
looked. A depressed spirit, anxious mind
and troubled conscience invite disease. They
reduce the general tone of the constitution,
cause loss of sleep, nervousness and fear
of illness that may induce it. If every citi-
zen would heed the lessons of these sugges-
tions they could laugh at the menace OF the
dread scourge.

If the farmers prefer foreign to a home
market and desire more farmers to CON-
pete with them, they will vote for the free
trade candidates. On the other hand, if
thew wish TO maintain and enlarge their
homo market, they will support the policy
of Protection, which finds employment for
American citizens whom they must feed
By encouraging this employment, Protec-
tion prevents the overcompetition in farm
ing which would result from the direct
crippling of the manufacturing industries
of the country bound to follow the opening
of our ports to European-made goods on q
tariff riff-for-revenue-onIy, without regard for
home interests.

The success of this scheme, accom-
nanied as it is by annual festivals in which
the employers and employed meet on a
common footing to report and discuss
their condition, shows that it is not any
especial method but the sentiment that
furnishes the true solution. The Dodge.
Vile experiment, though all its increase
of returns are postponed to the distant
future, succeeds because the employer
makes the employees feel that they are
really partners in the enterprise. A good
many other establishments where higher
wages are paid have strikes and labor
warfare, because there is gulf between
employers and employed So long as the
labor question is treated in the spirit that
peryades the Dolgeville plan, it matters
little what the exact form of the organi-
Zation is.

THERE are many stages on the road to a
final judicial decision as to the New York re-

of a decision by the Court of Appeals in
favor of the party to which it owes so much,

to whom political work has brought the re-
ward of patronage.

In his reply to Mr. Gladstone's argu-

In his reply to Mr.. Gladstone's argu-
ments on behalf of home rule, the Duke of
Argyle seems to confine himself to logic
which makes an unjust and bitter attack on
the American ballot, and a stubborn persis-
tence in regarding home rule for Ireland as
a synonym for secession. But perhaps the
cablsd extracts do not do proper justice to
the learned gentleman's screed.

SPECIAL STAMPS FOR NEXT YEAR.

They VIII Be Twice as Long as Those That
Are Now in Use.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker has decided to issue what
will be known as the Columbian series of
postage stamps, under contract signed
yesterday. The new stamps will be of the
same width as the present series, but twice

necessary in order to properly display the
illustrations. They are Intended to COM

Columbus
1t is expected that the entire series will be
put on sale January l. 1898, and during the
succeeding year will entirely supersede the
present series.

WHAn the public has to do is to consids

WHAT the public has to do is to consider
the platforms of the rival political parties
and judge which is likely to be the better
for the nation. Deals made between this
and that faction, inducements offered by an
organization here, to an individual there OF
corrupt practices sanctioned by one or an
other group OF men are all details of com.
parative insignificance. Such details are
matter for regret and subjects for legal sup
preston, but they are altogether apart from
the real political prin ciples at issue, and are
not arguments for or against them.

Smoke in Chicago.

If Pittsburg is not as speedy as she might
be in getting rid of her envelope OF smoke,
it is some sort of consolation to know that
our big sister on the lakes, Chicago, is not
doing bit better.
A Pittsburger who has been spending some
weeks in Chicago tells me that the smoke
nuisance has been but slightly abated, and
you can change collars and cuffs half a
dozen times day without achieving much
of an appearance of cleanliness. The big
office buildings and stores seem to be as
incorrigible offenders there as here. My in

The Murderer Thinks it a Good Joke-He is

special to The Statesman
GALVESTON, Sept. 1.-Susan Trum,
the old German woman who was
brutally stabbed in the abdomen last
Tuesday by Ole Ta5ias Abrahamson,
a young, dirty, worthless tramp, died
in Sealy hospital about II o'clock last
night from the effects of her wounds,
and was buried from that institution
today. When Abrahamson was in.
formed of her death he laughed and
said: Pm damned sorry 1 did not
cut her old head off," He also said he
was the person who stabbed Martin
Smuda in the stomach, who was
picked up on Central wharf and con-
veyed to the Sealy hospital Monday
night suffering from severe knife
wound in the region of the stomach,
which Smuda says was inflicted while
he was asleep, and which may yet re-
suit fatally. Abrahamson seems per-
fectly Indifferent, and talks ram
blingly and incoherently about what
the Lord tells him to do in his
dreams. He is evidently insane or
feigns it to perfection.

spoke in the most eClogistic terms,
and said the candidate for vice-presi-
dent deserved the vote of every DEM
ocrat in Indiana and every citizen
who deserved to see reforms carried
out which the Democracy advocated.
General Stevenson spoke nearly an
hour. He gave most attention to the
tariff and force bill. He also spoke of
the valuable services of Governor
Gray, saying that the Indiana Demo-
Gratis should be proud of him. Claude
Matthews, candidate for governor,
and Senator Voorhees,, followed the
general in short and enthusiastic re
marks.

featuring in the South Etc.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 1.-Secretary
Hester of the New Orleans cotton ex-
change announced the totals of the
cotton crop for the year ending Aug.
81, 1892, on 'change this morning at
10 o'clock. His figures showed that
the crop reached the enormous aggre-
gate of 9,O15,379 bales against $685. 97
last year and 1911, 1879 year before last,
an excess over last year of 382,7S2
bales and the year before of 1,724 ,O57.
Details make receipts at delivery
ports 7,137 300 against 6,976,3S0 last

fore; to France 6l9, 1874 against
559,0S9 last year and 472, 1856 the year
before; to the continent and channel
1850, SAL, against $3.50, 291 and 1871
SOL; Canada overland 1850, against
69,369 and 55, 491 the year before. The
statement shows that J,788, 1857 bales
were handled at different points of the
crossing of the Ohia and Potomac
rivers, but as 69,332 consisted of
cotton shipped from overland
points to another or back
into the cotton belt the actual
gross overland. movement to the
north and east was 1,710,135. OF this
eastern delivery ports received by
rail 465, 1915 bales, leaving as stated a
net overland to mills 1858, $50 bales.
Hester says the total consumption of
southern mills amounted to 6S6,0S0
bales, showing an excess of 81, 419. Of
this total AZ, 1872 bales were consumed
at southern ports, against 391 ,349 last
year.
Secretary Hester comments on the
general report, which will be COM
plete and will show the increase in
consumption pretty generally divided
between southern mills, and evidences
for the past season are that there has
been remarkable prosperity in this
branch. He will also give
some interesting facts relative to cot
ton acreage and imports of foreign
cotton in the United States and the
distribution movement into sight by
corrected to accord with the
proper distribution of actual consun1p-
ton by southern mills.

FORT WORTH, Sept. 1.-The execu-

resentatives from nearly all the dis
tricts. The proceedings were devoted
to a sort of experience meeting, in
which reports were heard from every
portion of the state. All of these were

relative to the belt of territory extend
ing from the Trans-Continental rail-
road, east of the Central railway as
far south as Tyler. The selec-

of. The matter was put off until to-
morrow. 1t was decided that Judge
Clark on Sept. Is will take the stump
and speak continuously until election
day.
Tonight Judge Clark spoke to a
crowded house. His speech was brief
and in line with his opening address
at Dallas. Other candidates on the

Special to The Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, Sept. l. - General
Maxey, who has been spending the
summer in the Arkansas mountains,
was asked yesterday for his views on
the situation. Briefly stated, he re-
CARDS the state Democracy as being
without a duly commissioned leader.
That neither ticket can command
the fealty of Democrats, and
that the result at Houston was
simply to release all Democrats
from any allegiance to any state
ticket, and leave them entirely to act
as they individually preferred in state
matters. In that, each faction was
commanding the support of men long
and well known as Democrats of faith
and principle, and whose Democracy
could not be questioned with nothing
in the Houston record would support
"reading out" attempt. That all
could unite in support of the electoral
ticket, and should do so heartily and
earnestly.

A VIOLENT TEMPER.
Causes Triple Murder and a Suicide on an
Ohio Farm.

STEvENsvILLE, o., Sept. 1.-Jno.
Skinner, a hired man working for
Geo. Fellner, German farmer living
two and half miles from here, last
night used revolver with deadly eff
feet, first shooting Fellner, killing
him, then going upstairs and shooting
Mrs. Fellner, lying sick in bed with
typhoid fever, and Mrs. Fellner's
mother. gray-haired, feeble old
lady. He then placed the revolver to
his own head and ended his existence.
1t seems that skinner and Fellner
quarreled over some money due on a
horse sale. Skinner remarked some
time ago he was going to have money
or there would be trouble. Fellner
wanted him to leave because of his
disagreeable nature. This led to a
quartet in which Fellner was not able
to cope with so strong man as Skin
ner, as he had only recently recovered
from an attack of tyhoidp fever.
