Blue Eyed Light Haired Indians

The Mayas, inhabitinc the Sierra Nadre

the crew and passengers OF Swedish

long centuries before the birth OF Column

Whenever the Mexican Government in

their neighbors, and these two warlike
tribes have reciprocity reduced to a

Gains From Regular Habits.

An English scientific philosopher
lately made a half-playful, half-serious
defense of the routine life of the man of
Irregular habits"
He insisted that in this busy age, when
so many duties press upon an active man
and there are So many things which una
voidablv call for the exercise of atten-
ticn, judgment and decision every day,
it is the part of w;sdOm-a real conser-
walton of energy and nervous forCe-to
settle as many as possible Of the routine
matters by fixed habit Of life.
There seems to be sense in the sugges-
ton. Why should a man with anything
important to do in the world tax the
gray matter of his brain newly every
day to decide what he will eat or drink
or wear, what his pleasures shall be and
what his recreation, when he shall 90 %
bed and when get up? Having arrived
at wears of discretion and discrimination,
why can he not 50 order his life as to
have these and kindred things come aud
90 in a somewhat settled Ordcr3
To eat at regular hours the things he
"fnds good Of" according to Bacor's
rule, abstaining from those that djsa-
gree with him: to rise, battle, dress, ex-
ercise, work, rest, recreate and sleep
after regular order, is not to make
treadmill of life. 1t IS to lay out
smooth road for journeying with the
least possible friction and waste. "Tc
choose time is to save time" A Cousid-
cradle proportion of the worry and waste
of life comes from a needless jumbIing
of work and clashing of duties.
Whatever we may think of the meth
Cd, the large majority of men who &C.
complish great things and live to a gooc
old age are men of regular habits. L
may be encouraging to such to kno"
there is scientific basis for their stick
ing to the ruts.-New York World.

A Faded Flower of Finance.

National Waterman,
Another bank failure, amounting
to $60,000,000, has just occurred in
Australia. This, added to the other
recent failure, makes total of $685.
100000. Here is an object lesson
in finance that should not pass un-
needed by thinking Americans.
Australia is a dependency of Eng
land and is absolutely under the do
mination of the money-power of that
nation. The failure of the Earrings
two years ago caused English in
vestors to call in their loans made to
other countries. The business of
Australia could not stand it and
hence this financial crash. The
same call was made on this country
and is still continued. So far we
have been able to meet it, but the
near future, under the present sui
cidal policy, will witness failures in
the United States of still greater
proportions and far more destructive
in their results.

1t is evident that the prosperity of
which patriotism and content are
born is not here, and neither do we
find its offspring; but discomfort,
unrest and despair of the future. The
figures before me show that the in
crease in the relative number of
homeless families has been not far
from one per cent. per annum, and
doubtless greater in the latter than
the earlier years of the decade. And
in another place the census has shown
that the increase of population In
Baltimore for the decade exceeded
by 5000 the aggregate for the whole
State, disclosing an exodus from
country to town. That nine counties
of the State lost 10000 negro popu-
latlon, disclosing an exodus of agri-
cultural labor; and that the actual
decline Of country population was
$4,000, disclosing the general decay
of agriculture and rural life. This
state of affairs is the result of false
legislation, of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and
of mis- government, national state and
local; the inevitable, the necessary
result. 1t is, as the direct result of
such false legislation, mal-administra-
ton and mis- government that we find
resting upon the homes of the mid
die of the people of Maryland
a mortgage debt of more than $25-
100000 which is but the preferred
claim against those homes, and is
secured by property of more than
twice that value. This debt, thus
secured is at once the safest and
among the most productive proper
ties to be found, and yet the owners
of it are exempt from any pawn ent
of tax upon it by statute, not by law,
but contrary to the spirit and the
letter of the organic law of the State,
and the tax which this 100000
of property ought to pay is distribut-
ed among the owners Of the property
by an assessment VIGOROUSLY false
and excessive in itself as it applies to
real estate; viz: to the land and
houses which constitute the homes
of the people. Further it is known
that very many millions of the most
productive farms of personal proper
ty are either tax free by statutory
exemption, contrary to equity, con-
trary to law and necessarily contrary
also to sound public policy or else
escape by fraudulent concealment.
Add to this federal tax system the
whole trend of which is in favor of
the wealthy classes and against the
industrial classes, and we may cease
to marvel why agriculture, the foun-
tam, and source of all prosperity is
drying up.

Luck Was Against Them.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-There was
lively scramble for a rabbit foot in
the White House grounds this morn
ing. The luck attached to the left
hind foot of a graveyard rabbit
killed in the dark of the moon is
proverbial, but undoubtedly it would
be ecIpsed by the luck inherent in
rabbit born and bred in the very
shadow of the White House and in
the atmosphere of Grover Cleve-
lands luck. At least this appeared
to be the views of party of office
seekers who went to call on the
President this morning. They were
going up the walk from the east
gate and when just abreast Of gar
dener, who was moving the lawn,
young rabbit darted from beneath
a lockwood brush and leaped leis-
urly across the lawn. With one
accord the Office seekers dropped
canes and umbrellas and gave chase.
They wanted to get hind foot of
White House rabbit. When the
chase was at its height a tall, portly
gentleman from Alabama, whose
figure made it difficult for him to
participate in the chase, entered the
grounds in a state of considerable
excitement. ''I'll give $40 for the
rabbit when you catch him." he
yelled, as he laboriously pulled up to
the flying hunters. Meanwhile the
white tail had been humping himself.
After lodging around and narrowly
escaping capture several times, he
suddenly made turn and struck a
bee line for the Treasury Depart
ment. At that end of the grounds
the lawn makes a sudden dip at the
fence, and, getting in the hollow,
Brer Rabbit darted off at right
angles under cover and escaped his
pursuers to the infinite regret of the
fat man. "Td willingly have given
$40 for that rabbits left hind foot"
exclaimed he regretfully. ''To have
caught him right here in the White
House grounds would have been the
best luck in the world. I'd have got
my consulship sure" and shaking
his head regretfully, while he mop
ped his brow with a big red hand
kerchief, the superstitious fat one
proceeded to call upon the President
and announce his claim for appoint
ment.

MaryIand's MOrtgaged Homes.

NJ. G. Ellzey in National Waterman.
| have before me the Extra Census
Bulleting No. 80, of January "a,
1898. 1t relates to the statistics of
farms, homes, and the mortgages
thereon in the State of Maryland. A
State beautiful for situations beyond
any other in the Union. At her
doors are Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New York Her
agricultural, manufacturing, mining,
commercial facilities and advantages
are great among the greatest. Here,
if anywhere, should be found among
the people generally diffused pros
perity and patriotism and content
ment born of prosperity. Here, if
anywhere, should every industrious
and honest family be able to own an
unincumbered home. Is it so? Alas
no. The figures before me show
that among 100 farmers only A own
their farms and homes incumbrance
free; 10 own with lncumbrance
(they are mere part owners) and 81
are renters. 1t must be understood
that the incumbrance here spoken of
is merely the preferred debt secured
by lien. The non preferred and I'M
secured debts are an additional I'M
known incumbrance of great magni-
tude. The mortgage debt on Mary
land farms aggregate $12,653,287,
and bears interest at an average rate
of $40 per cent. The average value
of the incumbered farms is $4,251,
the lien averages $1,636, each is
subject to an average annual interest
charge of 800, add $50 for tax, and
insurance for benefit of mortgage,
and 500 for renewals and repairs
which the mortgage requires to be
kept up, and you will have $40
annuity chargable against the nomi-
nal owner before he can get at the
land to dig his living out of it.
This annuity exceeds the sum the
farm would rent for by at least 40
per cent. The condition of the
nominal owners of incumbered
farms is, therefore, far worse than
that of renters.
Upon the homes of Maryland other
than farms there is a lien debt of
S12,305,449 at an average interest
of 5.85 per cent. OF 100 homes "a
only are owned incumbrance free; s
with incumbrance, and IS are rented.
Instead, then, of every honest and
industrious family in Maryland being
able to own home incumbrance free,
scarce one. third of them RFe able.

Sketches from Roman History.

This book has been received at
this office, and orders are filed at
once when received.
The National Waterman says
We have just received copy Of
Hon. Tom Watson's new book,
"SketcheS from Roman History" 1t
is Just what every one should read,
young or old, learned or unlearned.
It is Roman history boiled down. 1t
gives in plain terms the parallels
contained in the history of that
nation with our own, and points out
the many important lessons that we
might study with profit. All this is
given in Watson's unique manner,
which of itself, is so entertaining and
pleasing. If this book does not fill a
want and force an immense sale we
will be greatly mistaken. The price
is only rs cents, and is for sale at
the office of THE PEOPLES PARTY
PAPER, Atlanta, Ga, or at this
office.
The Monroe Popuzist says: We
received by a recent mail "Sketches
of Roman History" by Hon. Thomas
E. Watson. We had read with de-
light the life of Tiberius and Caius
Gracious, as it is given by Plutarch.
John Randolph said of Plutarch that
he was the most delightful of all his
torians. We have also read Rollins,
Abbott's, Gibbons, and other histo-
rians' accounts Of these grand states
men and patriots, but Mr.. Watson's
account of the Graceful is the most
interesting sketch of the history of
these great men that we have ever
read. We have always regarded
Julius Caesar as one of the greatest
men this world has ever produced.
Louis Napoleon's history of julius
Cesar is one of the best works of
modern times. Mr.. Watson's sketches
of Caesar are excellent, Every fam
lily ought to have one of the books
for the boys to read, as it is only 25
cents.
