In the actual government of China, it
seems that the emperor is the person OF
third Importance. The real ruler is the
viceroy Ii Hung Chang, and after him
comes the dowager empress. The emperor
never does an act that is not directed by
one of these advisers. Ii Hung Chang
has been called the grand old man" of
China, and classed in the matter of ability
with Gladstone and Bismarck. He is be-
tween 90 and 70 years old, and has for
years directed the affairs of the empire
He is responsible for about all Of the
progress in modern ways that China has
made. 1t was through his influence that
the first railroad in China was built, and
that western ships and arms were adopted
by the navy and army. He is interested
personally or indirectly in almost every
modern industry that has been planted in
the empire, and has grown rich The
viceroy, besides being a statesman and a
business man, is fighter. Thirty years
or so ago great rebellion-the TAPPING
rebellion--arose in the country. Ii took
the field, and his forces whipped the
rebels into subsection lie is probably
too old to do active fighting now, but he
has trusted lieutcnants who will carry
out his plans.

Sound Political Talk.

In talk with reporter of the Wash
ington ID. O. Post the other day Col
John c. Haskell of South Carolina said
The conservatives of South Carolina had
a splendid opportunity to down Tillman
and his cohorts this fall, but it was abso-
Iutely thrown away. Had Senator Butler
instead of trying to get on the same plat
form with Tillman made straight-out
fight for democratic principles the con-
servatives could have won. | begged
Butler to take that course. He followed
his own counsel, and the result is that
Tillman is still boss. He will beat Gen
Butler two to one for United States Sena-
tor and a man Of his own stripe will be
elected to succeed Tillman as governor
No winning fight was ever made by com
promising political principles, and so the
conservatives having no one to rally
around, nobody representing their views
to fight for, are letting things go by de-
fault where victory was entirely practi-
cable AS il is we will have to wait two
years longer for another chance to purify
the political atmosphere of the State
Col. Haskell is right in saying that no
winning fight was ever made by compro-
missing political principles. Senator But
Ter could not have defeated Till
man probably if he had stood
squarely on the national democratic
platform, though so shrewd and
capable politician as Col. Haskell thinks
he could, but if he failed to defeat Till
man he would have come much nearer
defeating him than he will by the course
he has adopted. Iu trying to gain the
support of portion of Tillman' S followers
by placing himself as nearly on
Tnlman's platform as he could
without virtually accepting Tillmanism
he has lost the hearty support of the reg
! ular democracy and has drawn nothing
from Tillman. He has lost ground in
stead of gaining it, and 1t is doubtful if
| he could poll as many votes now as he
could have done before the senate
rial campaign began. If he had
stood squarely for democratic prin-
ciples he would have had a COM
pact and enthusiastic following, which
would have made gallant fight for him,
and if it lost it would have been in a con-
dition to make better and more success
full fight in a future political contest.
Senator Butler talks as if he believes
that he will be elected senator, but he
seems to be about the only one VINO ex-
! poets success. The indications are that
Tillman viii have an overwhelming ma
jority of the legislature.

Care OF Small Things.

An old Philadelphia tells q story
illustrating the manner In which the
sons of the house of Drexel, the we'll
known bankers, were brought up.
Upon one occasion, returning from
the Barbados, he brought back a
considerable quantity OF gold and sill
yer tied up In small bags, as was the
custom, and had them carried to the
banking office Of the Drexels for
sale. The Bags were emptied out on
the counter, and the coins carefully
counted and set aside In separate
piles, In order TO calculate the cor
rect sum for which the bank check
should be drawn. After this was
done old Drexel took from inside his
desk one of the feather quill pens
then generally used, and with sheet
Of white paper he slowly swept of
that portion of the counter upon
which the coin had been handled,
and as carefully shook the paper
into a tin box. The depositor could
not see any dust on the paper,
so he smilingly asked Mr.. Drexel
what was gained by the sweep
ings, and was greatly astonished
at the old gentleman's kindly re-
ply: why, young man, 1t brings
me in a clean profit OF one thousand
or fifteen hundred dollars q year.

their intention to seize locomotive

in the direction of Chattanooga, cut
ting the telegraph wires and burning
the bridges behind them as they adj
vanced until they reached their own
lines. The twenty-five men were
captured and placed in Jail at Chat

a spy. Twelve of the number were
transferred to the prison at Knox
vile, and seven Of them were ar
raigned before court martial,
charged with being spies. All the
prisoners were removed to Atlanta,
Ga. On June Is, 1862, their prison
door was opened and the death sem
tence Of the seven who were tried at
Knoxville was read to them. They
were at once tied and carried out to
execution. The remaining fourteen
made their escape from prison in Oc-
tober, 1862. Six reached the Union
lines. six were recaptured, and of the
remaining two nothing is known.

favor by this jerky little speech:
"That may be true, but ! was at
the lombard of Alexandria, and
we were In bad fix, and all the war
ships of other countries drew of and
left us to fry In our own fat, and
then the Americans came and helped
us. They landed their men; they
kept order in Alexandria; they acted
contrary to orders, but then they
said that blood is thicker than
water" !,
At this the whole wardroom burst
into cheer. and nothing more was
heard OF Chesapeake and Shannon
yarns Then another weather-beaten
marine barnacle told his little story.
Il shall never say another hard
word against Yankees" he said In a.
voice like a muffied fog-horn. when
the hurricane struck Samoa our ship
just managed to steam out of the
harbor and escape total wreck. AS
we steamed anxiously and very slowly
through the bowling wind and blind
ing sea we could make out the Amer
leans In the rigging Of the Trenton
and they were all In the presence OF
death But they didn't think OF
that They gave us three cheers
and 1t made the hearts of our men
jump up and choke them when they
heard those cheers, and It made me
feel at last that blood Is thicker
than water '"--Harper's Weekly.

WE incline to the belief that it

We believe that there is as large a
field for judicious advertising in the
retail grocery as in any other line OF
business. 1t pays to let people know
what you have to offer, to acquaint
them with new attractions, TO ad-
wise them Of some bargain or other
which you are able to offer them
and, above all, to let them know
that you are enterprising and look

that only the females do the eating,

only ones that bite, and female To-
Gusts are the only ones that destroy
crops, is it not well to beware a little

on each side of the trolley wheel, to
catch the wire as the wheel tends to
slip of, has been tried at Chicago
with fairly good results, but, after
all, this expedient represents only
partial solution Of the problem. On
one German road, built at the city of
Barmen, the conventional trolley
wheel has been entirely abandoned,
its place being taken by an oblong
metal frame, the upper side OF which
bears against the under portion of
the conducting wire. The frame is
supported by something analogous to
a trolley pole, and the theory of
action apparently is that the width
Of the frame will permit considerable

IT is not very long ago that the
hog was hardly known as a farm
product out of the great corn regions.
but while the porker is becoming less
of a rowing rooter and more civilized
than in the earlier time, he is taking
possession of all parts Of the land.
In mountain regions West, includ-

vert alfalfa into pork, and in Califor-
mia use is made of Egyptian corn,
which is said TO make finer grade
of pork than Indian corn.
