TnE recent violent deaths in the stock
broker fraternity will give point TO many
moral lectures from the philosophers of
the pen and the sensation mongers in
the pulpit, but stock brokerage and
death, even violent death, will go on as
usual There seems 20 be slender
foundation, if any, for moral super
structures ON the incidents referred TO.
Kennedy might have gone crazy upon
religion, as men and women frequently
do, and while suffering therefrom, he
might have killed classleader The
moralists in that case would not have
proposed to suppress class.leaders or TO
abolish religion, though both might, at
times, seem TO need little, gentle, wise,
kindly Christian advice.

among many we remarked three days
aqo. that It was about time for some Re

were three or four Southern states TO be
carried for the animated icicle and the

the President had long talk at the
White House, "at which it was agreed, -
says the New York Sun correspondent.
"that the Republicans have an excep-
tionally good opportunity this year 10
carry several Southern states, including
North Carolina Tennessee, and West
Virginia The Republicans are especially
hopeful Of wrestling West Virginia from
the Democrats, owing chiefly to the great
political ability and high personal popu-
larity of Secretary Elkins, who has taken
the contract of cverturning the Demo
cratic majority in his state. Such
hope. based on the prowess and the
popularity of the Cabinet officer who
put in his position on the promise
and assurance of being able to carry his
own state and two contiguous states
must be intensely encouraging This
is especially notable when in the same
interview Mr. Carter gave the President
gloomy accounts of the prospects in New
York, Indiana, Montana and several
other Western states Considering the
cheerless outlook Of the Republican sit
uation, somebody ought to tell the Pres
ident that there is an admirable pros
pect for carrying Kentucky, because
Colonel Watterson is sick in Chicago,
and an equally brilliant prospect for
capturing Texas because the Galveston

WHAT A STATE OF SOUTH CALIFORNIA
WOULD MEAN.

That the people of Southern California
are particularly unfortunate in not hav-
ing state OF their own will appear on a
little reflection. In the first place, they
send immense stacks of money to Sacra-
mento every year that never by any
chance find their way back here again.
This sum amounts to hundreds of tnou-
sands of dollars yearly for Los Angeles
county alone. 1t would be perfectly
safe to estimate it at three and half
millions of dollars for the past decade.
Adding the other five southern counties,
and it becomes colossal. We have only
been able to support the imposition be-
cause of the phenomenal development OF
this section. But that is by no means
all. Through not having any United
States senators we have been unable to
secure recognition from congress. That
United States senators are potential in
the obtaining of appropriations has been
shown most conclusively in those re-
ported to the present congress for the
states of Washington and Oregon. These
amount to nearly five millions of dollars.
The sum obtained for the improvement
of navigation on the Cascades in Oregon
amounts to within fraction of two
million dollars. Owing to the fact that
neither OF California's United States sem

TIE French commissioner who came
to California to inquire into the labor
proposition reached aconclusion diamet-
rically the opposite from that which Is
generally assumed here. A frequent
remark in this state is that California is
not country for the poor man. The
Frenchman thought, on the contrary,
that it was the paradise of the laborer-
of the industrious worker with his
hands. What the country sorely needs
is large element of the eastern farming
class, who have not learned to play bean
poker, and who are not anxious to be
instructed in it's mysteries. There is
some occult influence which strikes a
man as soon as he reaches this state.
He comes at once to the conclusion that
he was cut out for gentleman of leisure,
and he acts upon that conclusion. Hiring
everything done, and mistaking himself
for banker, it is not surprising that his
stock of ready money at the end of the
year does not show up as a bonanza.
The exceptions to this rule generally get
rich, and the soil is so generous that
numbers even of the indolent attain
aft1uence. 1t may truly be said that
California is the only country in the
world in which this can be done.

Macaulay's Power.

Impressions are conveyed in writing
by appeals to the imagination Of the
reader. The successful writer brings a
picture before the mind, and the related
knowledge may be like the frame to set
off the picture, or like new rays of light
thrown upon the canvas to give it vivid
ness. The value of this related knowl-
edge is well illustrated in Macaulay's
description OF the trial of Warren Hast
ings. He throws upon the description
tho light of his vast erudition. He stim-
ulates the Imagination by all these side
lights, enchanting the attention, so that
we see as in picture that brilliant as
semblage, and we are filled with admira-
ton of the scene.
He coniures up the historian of Rome
and the eventful history Of the eternal
city; he reveals his acquaintance with
art in his happy allusion to Reynolds,
and his acquaintance with the recent
achievements of literature in his famil-
iarity with the researches of Parr, at
that time famous; he displays his
knowledge of the inner workings of
society and the intrigues by which
thrones are shaken and dynasties are
overthrown in his reference to the salon
of Mrs. Montague and the fair haired
daughters of the house of Brunswick;
and he shows his appreciation of the
drama by recalling Siddons, who, sin
the prime of her majestic beauty, looked
with emotion on scene surprising all
the limitations of the stage. "-Educa-
tional Review.

A Gallant Kentuckiap,

When the name of Mrs. Mary Brown
Day was before the Kentucky legisla-
ture the other day for election as state
librarian Senator Mulligan made this
fervid and chivalrous plea in the ladys
behalf:
''The storied stream that surges near
us, floating on its bosom a full, round
century of history, poetry, tradition, was
broader, deeper, clearer than now; these
old hills that tower above us We're
greener, loftier, yet easier climbed; this
old pile was statelier, majestic; men
were Drawer, youth more heroic, lasse3
were fairer, may l be pardoned for at
least believing? and amid that troop
ing throng of maidens, more beautiful
than the nymphs of Thessalian groves,
purer than the virgins who fed the sa-
cred flames on Ephesian affairs, brighter
in glance and smile than the beam of
Venus, happy as the wild birds that
twittered around them, the echo of these
hills repeating, but adding no sweetness
to their laughter, the most winsome and
beloved, gentlest, bonniest, best, was
she whom we so love to remember as
Mary Brown Russell"
She was elected New York Post.

a Queer Relic.

Some years since Lieutenant Peary
who is now somewhere in the frozen
north, had charge of certain govern
ment wosgs at Key West. While the
work was in progress he noticed ON the
bottom of the harbor, near where a
breakwater was being built, something
which shone through the water. He in
quired what it was, but he was able to
get no response more satisfactory than
the assurance that it had always been
there. The boatmen of the neighbor-
hood had seen it shining there in their
childhood, and had in turn been assured
by their fathers that it had been there
all their time.
Although the inhabitants of that sub
tropical cline might be content to live
and die with an unsolved mystery at
their very doors, it will easily be under
stood that the temper of Lieutenant
Peary was different. He sent divers
down to investigate and after much diff
fculty succeeded in bringing to light
small copper cannon of the Fifteenth cen.
tury. He was able to satisfy all the
claims of the government to the piece
for the price of old copper and the inter
esting relic became his own Boston
Courier.
