laceS.
Count ToIstoi says that the Russian famine

| Maine, according to the confession Of Neal

Suicide clubs have been organized in several

up.
There are strong reasons for believing that
the worlds fair will not be ready for opening
on the first of May. The condition of the
buildings is such as to forbid the idea that
they be completed within that time
While Editor Clarkson out in Iowa swears
that the country's greatest danger Is from the
rebels who have gained control of the gov
eminent, the Rev. Joseph Cook is equally
positive that our republic is about to be de
stroved by the Roman Catholics. Clarkson
and Cook are two of the dreariest cranks of
this generation.

The Prospect.

S1ppose 5000 guesses were made. This
would leave 81 $50 as one-fourth of the sub
scription receipts fer so many names, to be
divided among the successful gueSSers. Sup
nose ten persons guessed the word, this
would give them 1925 each; if twenty,
ST.. so. etc. Suppose there are 10000 guesses
which is not improbable-this may give
from 800 to $500 each to the successful
guessers. Checks will be mailed immedi-
ately after April 1st
Conditions & Inducements.
The terms of the contest are few and
simple:
1 Every guess must be accompanied bv
one wears subscription to the WEEKLY
CONSTITUTION, sent to any address at 81 90
. The sender of club of five at 81 90
each, for one year. is entitled to free paper
one year, and also guess.
3 With every subscription the missing
word should be written plainly, with the name
and address of the guesser. 1t is not nee
essary to re-write the sentence-simply write
the word and label it "the missing word for
April lst."
q Renewal subscriptions are entitled to
guesses just as new subscribers

Georgia Must Have Her Part.
From the above It will be seen that all
this talk about IL rush for office by Georgians
is mere bosh. While there may lie several
applicants for every office of great iiiipor
lance, it is also true that there a v;;st
number Of offices, which probably pay quite az
well, which have no applicants at all. and
which are not even being considered.
In the interior department alone there
thousands of positions which to be filed.
and which In all probability have as yet not
been applied for. OF course it IL natural
for Georgian to look to this department
rather than to the others, since the president
has so honored the state as to select It's neaa
from among Georsans, and it is natural for
man to look for more recognition from
fellow citizen than from stranger When
1t is considered that in the interior depart
ment to be found the pick of the subordi-
nate government appointments, it Is not sur
prising that those from Georgia who are
applying for office have hopes of obtaining at
least their share Of the federal patronage.
In the face of all these facts, and in the
name of justice and fairness. 1 ask why should
not Georgia have her honest proportion of the
$4,000 federal offices?
The offices are there. and instead of there
being enough Of applicants in this state for
the states just proportion, there Is plenty
of room for several hundred more than have
yet applied.
Let Georgia's representatives in the admins
tration closest to Mr.. Cleveland do their
duty and the state will be all right
In conclusion let say that l not
office seeker and that ] want no place In tho
gift of the administration. What l have
said has been prompted by a study Of the
government blue Book begun merely from
curiosity After seeing what it contained I
thought 1t would possibly interest the general
public to know something Of its contents.

there are four, the fourth being the lowest
and one placed in it is deprived of shors

LITERARY NOTES.

d. c. Henth & Co., Boston, have ius
issued Lange's Apperception, translated
from the German by President De Garme
of Swrathmore college and other members
of the Herbert club. This is perhaps the
most scientific monograph on education
that has appeared in Germany in modern
times. 1t has the rare merit of being al
once thoroughly scientific and intensely in
teresting and concrete. The prediction is
not un~arranted that this book will awaken
moro universal interest and stimulate more
educational thoughts than any other single
work that has been issued in the United
States in the last quarter of q century. In
1t science has become popular treatment,

D. Worthington & Co., Hartford) for Sep

interest and va'ue of its leading articles,
and the fine literary quality OF its stories,
posms and department matter, are admir-
ably supplemented by fine press work and
specially prepared illustrations which make
this number rs attractive as 1t ia readable.
The young people and the little ones of
the household always receiye much con-
sideretion from the editors of Worthing-

All Timekeepers Arc Inaccurate

The capacity Of a watch for keeping good
time is very much governed by its con
struction and its more Or less perfect finish,
1t cannot be expected of the best horizontal
watch that it should always keep good
time, and even less so of the inferior make
of machine made watches which are nova
days manufactured and sold for $40, 500 and
$40 III such large numbers. The changes of
Oil, the variation in temperature, the diver
sity Of humidity Of atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going Of IA watch. Indeed it is
only the most perfect finish which neutral
izeS the adverse influences to the greatest
degree Asa matter of fact, no watch keeps
perfectly correct time and even the best
chronomcters used III observa,ories and ON
board ships must he regulated according to
tables which are kept to fix the variations
to which all watches are liable-New York

----------------------------'-----
SOME OF THE CAUSES

ONE OF the few newspapers that tall'
sensibly and without partisan bias OF
tho causes OF the panic is the Washing
ton Post. 1t strongly favors the repeal
Of the purchasing clause of the Sherman
aot and leans toward the republican
idea OF protection, but it is frank enough
to say: at is preposterous to attribute
the reverses that have overtaken the
country and which are still impending
! to the purchase OF silver alone. 1t is
equally preposterous to suppose that tho
repeal OF the purchasing act will of itself
undo the mischief and restore prosperity
to the nation. 1t was not the suspen-
sion of free coinage that OF itself
brought about existing conditions, and
it is idle to argue that the unrestricted
mintage of silver would Of itself revolu-
tionlze these conditions and re establish
confidence upon stable footing. The
Mckinley bill is not largely responsible
for the havoc that is beng wrought, nor
is the menace of it's revision a disturb
ing factor Of grave proportions"
The Post goes back Of all existing
conditions in the United States to dis
cover the causes of our troubles. 1t
finds them in the destruction of the
worlds confidence. First was the fail
ure OF the Barring Brothers and the
collapse of an era of speculation in
South America. Distrust Of English
investments in ali parts OF the world
sezed the moneyed men of London and
the attempt to unload Australian Sc
curities precipitated the collapse in
that country, one of the most disastrous
financial revulsions the world has ever
known. Destroyed confidence and un-
settled values in the United States were
inevitable results. mo human quaran-
tine" as the Post says, "could bar it out,
and there is no specific that can utterly
and on the instant stamp it out. We
may and must adopt temporary expedl-
ents of relief, but the disease will have
it's run; and when congress talks OF the
unconditional repeal Of the Sherman
bill as an infallible remedy, it talks non
sense. When it talks of free coinage as
the cure-all, it talks folly"
If moro newspapers and individuals
would meet the situation in this spirit
of fairness and attitude of inquiry the
solution of the problems that confront
us would be more speedily reached.

THERE is more money per capita in
the pockets and stockings of people in
Montana than the inhabitants of any
other state in the union possess. This
money ultimately will all seek invest
ment and tho industries that have wilted
under its withdrawal will soon feel its
revivifylng effect. The pity is that this
lookup of funds is causing temporary
distress to SO many people who are en-
gagged in occupations dependent upon
credit for their existence.

THE currency famine is an absurdty
While the country he's grown and ex-
panded to point where, under normal
conditions, s300,000,oOO more of ciroulat-
ing medium would quickly be absorbed,
yet such a scarcity as that which now
exists is unnecessary. 1t is one-half
humbug and the other half scare. New
York bankers started the humbugginr
to influence legislation at Washington.

rest. Now we must wait for the scare
to run it's course.

THERE are people who can make an
egg balance on the small end, and there
are also people who think the vast bust
ness of the worlds exchange can be car
ried on on narrow gold standard. Both
sets of experimenters will come to grief
eventually. A financial system balanced
on it's small end will topple over as
surely as the top-heavy egg. The law
Of gravitation holds equally good in

HAS it ever occurred to the New York
Press, and other Mckinley organs, that
they were invited last year to occupy
back seats and refrain from giving fur
ther advice as to how to run the govern
ment? The people are suffering enough
from McKinleyism now, and propose te
eliminate it as soon as the silver question
is disposed Of. Free silver and tariff re-
form are the watchwords. No step back
