Pay Your Debts.

At the beginning OF the new year,
when it is general payday and there is
q strain all around, it is more incumbent
upon everybody to meet obligations
promptly and so ease tina situation, There
isa good deal of complaint that pay
ments are slow. This ought not to be the
case, for the year has been fairly pros
porous. A little confederation for what
IS due to each other would help to make
things pleasant all around. One debt
aid enables the creditor in his turn to
pay another, and so on through a whole
line of obligations. Every man or woman
engaged 10 business or in any profession
realizes how important it is for every
body to do the best that may be done to
paw up for the common good, aud every
debtor who does so enables some one else
to follow suit. Let there be lively
emulatton in doing good to each other.

Lovers of the mysterious will be inter

Lovers Of the mysterious will be inter
es cd in this authentic story. Two years
ago the portraits of President Harrison,
Mrs. Harrison and DR.. Scott were re-
produced in a group on glass. Several
copies were made. Each portrait was
colored and touched up by the artist who
took the group. One of these pictures
was given to a near relative of the
Presidents, who lives in Baltimore. The
portraits were all good likenesses, and
sic priced them very blgLiy. Here is
where the mysterious part comes ir,
About three months before Mrs. Harrson's
death the colors in her picture on the
glass commenced to tale. When she
died, only the head was visible and that
family. Then the same phenom anon
was observed in DR.. Scott's portrait. 1t
began to grow DINNER and DINNER until
only the head remained. DR.. Scott died
within few weeks of his daughter. The
curious part of the matter is that Presi-
dent Harrison's portrait stands cut as
clear and strong as it did on the day it
was finished. The same colOrs were used
on all these portraits and there is no
apparent reason why one should not last
as long as the other.

The Deacon and the Parrot.

Bob Taylor, of Tenn tell; a story of a
deacon and parrot that IS too good to
lose A good deacon once owned very
intelligent parrot, which numbered the
art of swearing among its accomplish
ments. This was a source of great annoy
ance and disgust to the deacon and he
resolved to part with the parrot. Some
mischievous boys, who, by the way, had
taught the parrot to swear, It'd the
deacon he could break the bird of its per-
nicioUs habit by simply dashing bucket
of cold water on il aud selzing the cage
whrl it violently around IN the air.
Much elated, the deacon laid for Polly
with bucket OF cold water. Pretty
soon a Dig made his appearance and
Polly yelled out Come here. you d
son of sea cook ~ The deacon soused
the bucket of water on 10 and, scizDg
the cage, whirled it Violently aro.nd and
set it down. After looking at it a
moment. he exclaimed "Well, Polly,
how d. yon feel novi' Poor Polly, laying
on it's back, lis feathers all turned the

nonrress Must Act at Once.

The Secretary Of the State promptly
responded TO the Senate resolution OF IN
ouiry concerning the poss ible violation
of treaty obligations under the Chandler
Immigration Suspension bill. He finds
as the sen ators probably knew he would
that there is nothing in The engagements
Of the United States with foreign coun-
tries to prevent the suspension OF I'M
migration whenever this country sees
Git. and that even if there were explicit
suq.pements the right to suspend I'M
migration for a definite period, for the
preservation of the public health, Is sim
ply the exercise of the police power OF
the nation, OF the right of self-preserva-
ton. 1t would be singular state OF
affairs if this were not SO. Those senators
whose sensitive conscience led to this
inquiry appear to have overlooked the
fact th at an agreement implies some adj
vantage to both parties, and it IS difficult
to perceive what advantage this country
can derive from binding itself to receive
sbip-loads of contagion from foreign coun-
tries.
There should be no more delay in this
matter. 1t is entirely to- serious for
legislative quibbling. Congress has much
work to do, and not two mOn'hs to do it
in. This Is the gravest OF its duties. The
President prevented an epidemic Of chOl-
era during the summer and fall, but the
shortness of the season was propitious, or
even his firm and courageous action might
have been in vain. Congress has been
fnllv warned. and must assume the re-
sponsibility for whatever occurs next
simmer. unless it takes the obvious pre-
cautions for the exclusion of cholera
These are the transfer of quarantine from
the states to the national government,
and the suspension of immigration for a
definite period. Immigration should be
suspended at least during the summer
months.
Tbs should not be left to the discretion
of the President, not because Mr.. Clsye-
land would use it unwisely, but because
he should not be subjected to the en-
barrassment of deciding that which it is
the duty of Congress to decide 1t IS I'm
possible for the President to derive any
glory from the use of such discretion, and
lust as surely as the Onus Is thrlst on
him, be will become a victim to impor-
tunlties and remonstrances that will make
his life miserable. There can be nc in
iury to any section of this country and no
hardship to immigrants who propose to
make their homes here IN requiring them
to wait until the most imminent danger
has passed The country is not likely to
disappear meanwhile, and those who
survive will feel more kindly towards the
immigrants than had the latter persisted
in coming and bringing cholera as a COM
panion. Congress should bear in mind
the fate of all halfway and halfhearted
measures in an emergency. They are
more likely to produce confusion than to
accomplish the object for which they are
designed. - Baltimore american.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. Edward
Hudson, who says be spent two-and-a-
half years as a conYict miner in the coal
mines in aud near Briceyill~. Tennr
yesterday told Chief of Police Deitsch a
horrible story of treatment accorded TO
convicts.
He says the men are divided into gangs
and gwen q certain amount to DO each
day. II they fail to get out the required
amount they are beaten with an insiru
ment which very much resembles the
Russian kno1t. All are whipped, no mat
ter If all but one or two did their share.
He claims he has seen convicts die from
this beating, and Hudson is himself mass
of scars. Every cnt of the knOut draws
blood.
Two men he has known to commit sui
eide TO avoid punishment, and Others
have been known to phil great pieces of
slate down upon themselves, hoping to
main themselves so that they could not
work in the mines.
Hudson's story il on a line with that
of a very eminent professor. of national
repute, Who recently investigated the
Tennessee system and described it as
worse than Siberia, youtable hell on

for one Of the best paying and easiest

of sugar bests per acre varies from six to
twenty-five tons, the average being about
fourteen tons. These are worth from
50 so to $3.50 per ton at the factory,
depending upon their condition and sugar
contents. Taking the average at $3.50
and fifteen tons per acre the gross value
Of the crop would be $3.50 per acre.
From the experiments and actual work
of growing in various parts of the country
the cost of raising, including planting,
cultivating, harvesting aud all Incidental
expenses, varies from sl.2O to $3.50 per
