The southwestern,s Resolutions.

The resolutions adopted by the direc-
tors Of the Southwestern Railroad Com
/ pany at Macon Wednesday create the i'm
/ preston that they have made up their
minds to cut looose from the Central and
| ''go it alone" In view of the fact, how
/ ever, that it has been only few days
since, in circular letter, the president of
the company said that in the opinion of
the directors it would be to the interest
of the road to be operated in connection
with the Central it is fair TO presume that
the directors have no intention to take the
road out of the Central system unless it
becomes necessary to do so to protect its
interests.
The purport of the resolutions is, doubt
less, that it is advisable for the South
western company to have plan of action
ready in the event that such a condition
of affairs should arise as would make it to
the interest of the Southwestern to with
draw from its connection with the Cen
trail
1t is impossible to predict what terms
would be offered to the Southwestern If
another plan of reorganization should be
CAASAC0s III VIC Adcb pan but EOOubuNCot-
ern was dealt with literally Indeed,
it seemed to be the very general impress
sion that the stockholders of that road
were given more than they were entitled
TO. Since the building of the Alabama
Midland and the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery railroads the earnings
of the Southwestern have fallen off
greatly. According to the reports the net
earnings have not, for sometime, been
equal to the rental. Within the last few
months, however, the road has made
better showing, and now that its physical
condition has been greatly improved it
may be operated in future so that it will
earn its rental, Whatever it earns its
stockholders, under Associate Justice
Jackson's decision, will get.
The Macon Telegraph interprets the
resolutions to mean that the Southwest
ern is soon to be operated as a separate
system, and that paper takes occasion to
say that as a separate system the road
would be of more benefit to Macon than
at present. The Telegraph may be right,
although we do not see the reasons it has
for its conclusion. However, there seems
TO be ground for saying that if Macon is
rejoicing at the prospect of the road be-
ing taken from the control of the Central
that city is rejoicing too soon.

A year ago New York beggar named
Coleman died, leaving a will devising his
effects to his son. An examination dis
closed the beggar's principal fortune to
consist of ST. 900 in hard cash. The son
got married as soon as he came into pos
session of the money, and with his wife
and mother-in-law started in to have a
good time upon the charity his father had
boarded. The trio proceeded to get drunk
on the night of the wedding, and for a
year they continued the spree. Three or
four nights ago they "blew in" the last
dollar of the fortune, got exceptionally
drunk, and were taken in by the police.
When they shall have become thoroughly
sober the man will return to driving an
ash cart.

their own country, such sticklers for the
rights Of property, when it is their own
property. However, the proceedings of
the Chartered Company in South Africa
are hardly more reprehensible than the

Hawaii, in which islands the natives
were robbed of their rights by revolu-

The winter, so far, has been character

probably also been characterized by an
exceptional amount of quiet charity

though there have been numerous reports
OF persons in Strengthened circumstances,
the cases of actual suffering from hunger
have. been very few. The world and man
kind are not as cold and unfriendly as
some people would make it appear, and
they are getting better all the time.

Just the Opposite.

An Irishman who was employed in the iron
works in a western town was advised by his
physician to seek some employment where
the labor was less severe. on account of an
enlargement of the heart. He proceeded,

by his friends.

Sir Charles Dixie, speaking for Eng
land, has been indulging in bit of char
acteristic English bluff in reference to
the prevailing European war scare.
The triple alliance" he said, lis not re-
garded as a serious compact, therefore a
coalition against Great Britain is improb-
able" AT the same time England will
increase her navy, mot for the purpose
of defense, but to prevent her enemies
from leaving their ports" The idea that
the alliance between Germany, Austria
and Italy is merely political joke is quite
unique, but not as startling as the intima-
tion that Great Britain will proceed to
bottle up Russia and France in their own
ports if they attempt any funny business
with the British lion.

Bradstreet's estimate of the number of

rect by the careful newspapers of the

Bradstreet's either "has been imposed

cation: "The widest of wild-eyed ca
lamity howlers has failed as yet to creep

were 5000 idle wage earners in Savannah,

The populists of Alabama are talking
about nominating brother of Senator
Morgan as their candidate for governor
next year. He is a farmer, and has been
prominent IN ropulist politics. There
are, however, some hundreds of other
Alabama townships to be heard from, and
as each one contains good timber for a
populist gubernatorial candidate, it is yet
too early TO predict who will get the nomi-
nation Meantime, there is yet no visible
evidence that the Kolbites, populists and
republicans will be able to get together
next fall, therefore the democrats remain
serene.

Some of the stories that come from the
northwest about the Russian thistle, for
the determination of which congress has
been asked to appropriate 81 ,O00, 900, read
like extracts from Rider Haggard's Afri-
can tales. For instance writer in North
Dakota says the spines of the plant are so
tough and poisonous that 'men and ami
mails are compelled to wear sheet iron
bootlegs in passing through the thistle
fields" 1t is said to be plant of aston
ishing vigor and fecundity, growing up
and outward rapidly ITO the size of a sod
cabin" shading the surrounding crop and
absorbing all the moisture and nutrition
of the SOIL and then scattering its seed
far and wide on every wind. 1t is said
that in Siberia, the home of the plant, it
has conquered whole pro- inces and driven
farmers away from them. 1t first APP
peared in this country some fifteen years
ago, having been brought over in the seed
grain of some Russian immigrants If
half of the stories told of this terrible
plant are true, heroic measures are needed
to cope with it.

DR.. Paul Gibier, of the Pasteur insti-
tute, New York, claims to have discov-
cred cure for epilepsy Being of the
Pasteur school. his remedy is, of course,
applied hypodermically. A few nights
ago he read paper on his remedy before
a medical association, in which it was
disclosed that the material used in his
experiments had been prepared from the
vital organs of the sheep, great care hav-
ing been exercised in securing absolute
purity in the matter employed" De-
scribing the treatment, the doctor said:
objections are made hypodermically, the
puncture being in the side, just above the
hip joint. In no case have any bad eff
fects been noticeable as a result of the
injections" He cited a number of cases
in which the treatment had been success
full, and others in which it had been bene-
fetal, and said that in every case the i'm
provement had been satisfactory. II is
sincerely to be hoped that the doctors
claims for his discovery are we'll founded.

Tyranny of Protected industries.

FROM tne Indianapolis sentinel (Dem.).
The protected Industries are still engaged
in the laudable enterprise of bulldozing their
employees into signing protests against the
passage OF the Wilson bill. This sort of tyr
amy over employees is one of the worst evils
which have grown up under the system of pro-
tection. 1t dwarfs the manhood and clint
mates the independence Of the toiler, while IL
makes the protected baron arrogant and au-
dacious. Congress will do well to regard
every one OF these forced protests as an argu-
ment against the Mckinley system.

Tithes and the Price of Grain.

The difference between the method of
paying the clergy of the Church of Eng
land, who receive the 1.-THE as their liv-
ing, and the clergy of the Church of
Scotland, who enjoy what are known in
the north as TENDS, will be very appar-
ent in this year On both sides of the
Tweed grain prices are higher for the
year, but in England the clergy will re-
ceive little immediate benefit from the
rise. because by the seven years average
it is spread over so long time that the
most that can be hoped for from the
good prices of 1891 is to stop the fall
which has been going ON every year
without a break since 1878, longer
period of successive annual declines in
the value of the 1.-THE than has ever be-
fore occurred.
But in Scotland the tend is calculated
on the grain prices of each year, so that
the parish ministers who have endured
the discomforts which low prices brought
with them when grain was cheap will
now have directly the advantages of
higher prices when grain has risen. In
England both the rise and the fall are
retarded by the seven years average.
In Scotland the full effects of either the
one or the other are directly experienced
in every year. --lrondon Graphic.

Have you an old gown? Probably you
have a great many. Perhaps you regard
all your costumes belonging to that stage
known as odd" Now, you know that
age, while it makes an old woman, does
not make an old dress. The only thing
that really makes an old dress is having
it get out of style, and then, be it ever
SO recently bought and ever so lately
finished, it is old, because it isn't in the
style. Now, the pretty little round
waists which you wore last year, and
which looked very nice, are old because
they are too short in the back. But you
can remedy all this if you desire by
piecing down the length with deep
and abundant fringe. Chenille or silk
or tasseled fringe may be sewed on and
let hang in perfectly straight lines
around the hips, producing the fashion
able effect of the long basque so much
desired. st. Louis Republic.
