We no longer trust the people with
any power. We treat them as If they
were children, and incapable of exer-
cis:ng ordinary discretion in conducting
their own personal affairs. If man
is involved in a difficulty with his
neighbor, he can only obtain redress
by engaging the services ola attorney
duly admitted to practice in the courts
of the State, and holding the certificate
of a commission created by law. He
can only be poisoned by druggist duly
licensed, or become intoxicated in a
duly licensed saloon, His food has to
be examined by State authorities. For
fear that he may not know what is
wrong with his horse when it is sick.
the State steps in and informs him of
the nature of the disorder. He Is not
even allowed to let the oxeyed daisy
grow in his field without incurring the
risk of visit from that latest imperso-
nation of the majesty of the law. a
weed commissioner. Ere long, at the
present rate OF progress, one dare not
die without procuring the services of q
duly licensed physician or be buried
bv any one but duly licensed under
taker.- .-RoBERT LEES, in a speech be-

The Partisan Fashion Journals.

"La Mode de Paris and "Album des
Modes" so well-known as the publications
giving the choicest Paris styles one month in
advance OF all other journals, appear to be
growing Just little too popular. The de-
mand for them is growing 80 rapidly
that the publishers, A. Mcdowell q Co., 4
West i4th Street, New York, have found it
difficult to keep up with the increasing de-
mand each month. They claim that the
American ladies are now buying their joun-
ais to such an extent that most of the news
dealers are entirely out of them by the fifth
of the month. As all the plates are made in
Paris by the best artists, the publishers
claim that it requires considerable time TO
catch up with such an increased demand.
We agree with our lady friends that these
are superior fashion journals. We suggest.
to them to become regular subscribers, thus
making sure of receiving their journal each
month, and securing that valuable book,
'sDressmaking Simplifed," that is given as
a premium to each subscriber paying $3.50
in advance fo either La Mode de Paris or
"Album des Nodes for one year. You may
place the order through your news agent, or
send direct 10 the publishers.

THE two-thirds rule is rather the
name of thing that was than OF a
thing that is. 1t is not rule, but a
precedent which only becomes rule
when a convention assemblies, and,
before it does anything else, proceeds
to put bit in its mouth so that itmay
be governed by obstreperous minori-
ties. One of the first things the
Chicago Convention should do should
be to make a new illustration of the
Democratic idea that the majority
sh ould rule. The unit rule should be
done away with also.

Montana Potatoes,

There are no such potatoes in the
world as are grown in Montana. They
attain prodigious size, and often weigh
three, four, or five pounds apeice. Eigh-
teen such potatoes make bushel. To
the taste they are like a new Vegetable.
The larger ones are mealy, but the
smaller ones are like sacks of meal;
when the skin is broken the meal falls
out like flour. It must very soon become
the pride of every steward in the first
grade hotels, restaurants, and clubs OF
the cities here-and even In Europe-to
prepare these most delicious vegetables
for those who enjoy good living. AS
these potatoes of the choicest quality
can be cultivated In all the valleys east
of the Rocky Mountains, there will
soon be no lack of them. To-day. the
only ones that ha We left the State have
been the few bushels sent to gourmets
in New York, Washington and San
Francisco. .-Harper's Magazine FOL

Wreck of Portion of the M. Z.
Church South.

On Saturday morning last, when the JAM
tor of the NJ. Z. Church South of this CITY,
entered the building to prepare it for services
on Sunday, he was amazed to find that a con-
siderable portion of the church on the West
end was perfect wreck-one third or one
half of the ceiling and all the timbers between
the ceiling and roof having fallen and crush
ed the pulpit altar, 81 800 pipe organ, and a
number of the pews. 1t is supposed that it
was caused by the weight of snow upon the
roof, but the roof did not fall in, though the
rafters are bowed. 1t is not known when it
occurred, but the presumption is that it was
some time during Friday night. If it had oc-
CURED during the daytime, some one would
have heard it, for it must have made consid-
cradle noise. If ii had occurred during ser
vice. it is probable that the minister and as
many as fifty persons or more would have
been killed or wounded, and we would have
had a re-enactment of the terrible scene at
the capitol at Richmond some years ago. II
is impossible yet to know the amount of pc
cuniary los, but it will be considerable as il
| will require large sum to repair the building
and to replace the organ. The services of that
| church are now held in the Y. NJ. c. A.

Accident by Explosion of Rock

There was an accident at Mr. Moore sSon
March 18th, caused by the explosion of rock
powder. They had a can containing. about
one and half gallons of powder, which had
gotten wet and become very hard. Messrs.
Thomas and Samuel Moore had it in the
house examining it. Samuel threw little in
the fireplace which flashed up but did no
damage; he then threw little more on the
fire. and when that flashed it threw a coal of
fire into the can which they had before the
fire, causing it to explode, burning Messrs.

the snow on the ground probably some of
them would have been burned to death, as
