Careless LeRislation.

The amount of useless and vicious legis-
lation IN about every state in the union is
| beyond estimation. The trouble is that
too many Of those selected for legislators
are wholly unfit for the discharge of the
very important duties that devolve upon
them In the legislatures Of many of the
states, very few strong men dominate
all the others. 1t sometimes happens that
these few men are no. controlled by the
right motives, or have ideas which are
hostile to the best interests of the public.
The consequence is that unwise laws are
enacted-laws that have to be repealed
but bofose they ara repealed they are the
cause of a vast amount of injury to all
kinds of interests.
Petitions are now IN circulation in Ten
nessee asking the governor to call an cX-
ira session Of the legislature to undo some
of the work of the legislature of 1891
That legislature enacted a law requiring
foreign corporations to file copies of their
charters with the secretary of state and
also an abstract os charter in every coun-
ty in which they arc doing or propose to
do business. This would make them do
uSStl' NoFIDFHtlOuSs anu, according TO
the best legal opinion, they would become
liable in TENNESSEE for state and county
taxes on their entire capital stock
II can be seen readily that this law
practically shuts all foreign corporations
out of the state None of them can stand
such taxation. They have TO pay taxes
in the states Of their domicile ana they
could hardly pay taxes in Tennessee on
all their capital stock.
It is said that thirty-six foreign insur-
ance companies have given notice of their
withdrawal from the state; and other
foreign chartered companies that have
boen selling their products in Tennessee
have stopped doing so because, undor the
law, they cannot collect a debt there
1t is thought the governor viii call the
legislature together to repeal the law.
An extra session will cost the people a
good deal of money, but they will have to
pay for the blunders of their law makers.
Nashville could not do much of wheat
business nor Memphis much Of cotton
business without insurance, and they win
not get insurance from foreign companies
while such a law remains on the statute
books.

Wood for sale

1t will be new to many readers, says the
London Spectator, that the mosquito is now
firmly established in London. 1t is to be
found in certain large hotels which are the
resort of visitors coming from the Continent
and the supply seems to be maintained by
constant impOrtations from abroad. Visitors
who are familiar with the noise and bite of
the mosquito assert that it is the true pest in
its worst form, and there is no reason for
doubling their experiences. A ludicrous mis-
take in identity on this point recently oc-

The Admiral Blundered.

The official account of the loss of the
British battleship Victoria that APP
peared in our dispatches yesterday leaves
no room for doubt that Admiral Tryon,
who commanded the squadron, and who
gave the orders that resulted in the col
lisiOn between the Victoria and the Cam
perdown, was responsible for the terrible
disaster, The first accounts of the sad
affair left the impression that the order
of the admiral was not obeyed, and that
the collision would not have occurred if it
had been. The latest and the official ac-
count makes it quite clear that
the ships were so near together that the
maneuver could not have been success
fully executed tf"
All the reports concur in the statement
that the discipline on the Victoria was
admirable. There was no defect in the
machinery of the vessel and all would
have gone well had itnot been for the ad-
miraFs fatal mistake. He was told that
the room left for the manetver was not
sufficient and he changed his order, in
creasing it. For some reason or other the
change was not made in the order, and
when his attention was called TO the
matter he decided to let tho original
order stand, and to take the chances
of avoiding an accident. Under
the circumstances there will be
less disposition to make hero of iran,

The Tickle China Maid.

Oh, Wing Tee Wee

And she lived in the town Of Tao.
Her eyes were blue,
And her curling queue
Hung dangling down her back
And she fell in love with Gay Win Sill
When he wrote his love on a laundry bill
And, oh, Tim Told
Was pirate hold,
And he sailed in Chinese junk;
And he loved (ah me)
Sweet Wing Tee Wee,
But his valiant heart had sunk
So he drowned his blues in tickle fZz,
And vowed the maid would yet be his.
So bold Tim Told
Showed all his gold
To the maid in the town Of Tao;
And sweet Wing Wee
ElOped to sea
And never more came back;
For in far Chinee the maids are fair.
And the maids are false, as everywhere.

just at the moment when tmpatlence at the

had risen TO the pitch OF general exaspera-
ton, the President /, without a word OF pre-
liminary intirnation, issued his proclamation
calling congress 10 assemble on Aug :, to

go. The Presidents intervention however,

and, so far as Saturday three hours of bank

seems permissible to conclude that the point
OF danger is now safely passed.

From time TO time certain newspapers
of the north and northwest, in discussing
the timber supply, make the bald asser-
ton that the turpentine producers are
year after year destroying millions of
feet of pine timber Only a short while
ago the Chicago Inter Ocean asserted as
a fact, on what authority it cannot be
imagined, that the boxing of pine trees
in the south for turpentine had destroyed
during the last few years, $50, 100000
worth of trees. The MORNING News re-
piled a. the time that the Inter Ocean did
not know what it was talking about, and
stated that the boxing of pine did not
iniure the timber for building purposes.
Recent government tests have proved
this statement true. The tests referred
to showed the tensile strength Of southern
yellow pine, boxed, to be 10000 pounds
per square inch OF cross section The
Southern Lum5erman, of Nashville, goes
further, and asserts that a , by inch
yellow pine scaptliug l6 feet long would
not part under a pulling strain OF $4,000
pounds And what stronger timber then
that is wanted for any purpose} Lumber
from pine tree that has been "blcd" or
boxed when kiln dried, is as good for build
ing except possibly for planlIing under
water, as the lumber from any other tree,
hence it is clear that timber is not de
stroyed" by the production Of turpentine.

IT HITS THE MASSES.
Some Strong Remarks by a
Well Known Man.
Evidently He Knows Well What
He Is Talking About.
And We Only Trust That His Adj
vice Will Be Followed.

The majority of people who are a1hng
do not call themselves exactly sick. They
are run down in vitality of blood or their
nerves have become weak or their stom-
sch, bowels, liver or kidneys are out of
order. They complain of bsing weak,
nervous, tired, out of sorts; they do not
sleep or eat we'll and wake mornings with
dull head and languid feeling.
Such persons are not in reality sick, but
they are in fair way to become so If they
NEGLECT themselves. These feelings and
symptoms show that the system is out OF
order, and common sense should indicate
that something must be done to prevent
these conditions running into absolute
disease.
A young man of our acquaintance, Mr..
Louis Dahl of Andover, Mass, speaks
strongly upon this subject and speaks also
out of his own experience

TWO STANDARDS OF CONDUCT.

The Relations of Employers to En.
ployed-Some Hints CONCERNING the
Wage 81 stem.
Rev. DR.. W. W. McLsne of the College
street Congregational church delivered on
Sunday an excellent sermon on illegal and
Christian Standards of Conduct" before
large congregation. By request OF many
we give part of the same. His text was:
eye have heard that 1t has been said an
eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.
But say unto you that ye resist not evil"
Matthew v:3s-39. He spoke in part as
follows:
Natural disposition, the customs OF 60
ciety, and civil law determine the con-
science and conduct of many men. They
are governed by that which has been said
in the old time. Let me give one or two
practical illustrations of this. Men stand
to-day largely in the relation of employer
and employed. The political economy
which has prevailed during the present
century teaches that the natural reward OF
necessary to enable laborers to live and to
preserve the number of laborers. That is
to say, the natural price Of labor is the
lowest sum upon which the lsborer
will consent to live. The man who
believes this principle will be led by it to
force men in his employ down toward the
starvation point. This principle lies at the
basis of the great strike among the miners
of England at the present time. They claim
that the wages offered are inadequate for
their support. Their employers claim that
the wages asked render profits impossible.
There is another principle of wages taught
by some political economists which ia evil
IDENTIFY in accord with natures laws-that
is to say, Gods law. This principle is that
the product of labor is the natural re-
ward of labor. In primitive society
the fish caught or the game captured
or the fruit gathered 10 the the reward or
wages of labor. In civilized society the
difference between the value of pair of
shoes and the value of the leather out of
which they are made is the natural wages
of the maker. Natural wages cannot al
ways be determined, but in mines and
mills, where the interest or the investment
and the salaries of managers and the value
of the product are all known, wages based
upon the product can be approximately de-
termined. The man who believes this
principle of wages will be lead by it to pay
| laborers by 1t in proportion to the product
| of their labor and the prevalence of this
principle would do much to settle the
| strifes of labor and to produce peace.
There Is another illustration of men
being governed by cruel law rather than by
Christian standard. The time was when
| a man might be sold into slavery for his
| debts. The time was when a man might
| be imprisoned for his debta, This was
| manifestly so unjust and pro6tless that
