Governor Stone, of Mississippi, has
made short work of his answerto the
New York Worlds inquiry as to what
he thinks Of the English committees
coming to this country to investigate
lynching in the South. He says: "lf
the English government had sent a
committee here to investigate and
denounce Southern lynching, while 1t
is none of its business, the act might
have been entitled to respectful con-
sideration; but the source from which
this committee comes is supremely
contemplate, and its attempt to
meddle with the affairs of any part OF
the United States is pitifully puerile
and utterly disgusting"

The New Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON Post.

NuSlIhebOh oSt.
II think, "said Senator McLaurin,
of Mississippi, to a Post reporter,
speaking of the new tariff law, "that
it is a good bill. To Judge of its
merits it must be compared with the
present law-what is known as the
Mckinley law. The Mckinley law
proved an utter failure in every par
ticular. 1t failed to raise revenue
sufficient to provide for the necessary
expenses of the government it pro-
hibited importations and stifled COM
merce; it destroyed the business OF
the country, produced panics, bank
rupted railroads, starved labor, and
engendered strikes. The bill that
has just passed will raise revenue
sufficient for the expenses OF the
government invites importationsand
will revive commerce; it will restore
the business of the country, furnish
business for railroads, give remunera-
tive employment to labor and eradi-
cate the curse that effects panlcs and
strikes.
"Of course the present bill is not
the best that it is possible to make.
1t could be improved. Any work OF
the human head or hand is suscepti-
Bile of improvement. But when this
bill as it is shall have been tested
for a year its praise will be on the
lips of every intelligent man who is
not prompted by selfish motions.
The elections this fall will return a
Democratic House OF Representatives,
and the Senate will be Democratic.
The people tired Of the Mckinley
tariff, which they know is a failure;
they put it into the hands OF Dem
ocrats to correct; the Democrats have
corrected 1T by a better law, and the
people will surely not be fickle enough
to overthrow the party to whom they
committed this task before the law
enacted has its merits tested by
practical operation. The Democratic
party will be returned to power by
this years election, and In two years
more the merits of the two laws can
be compared by actual results.

NEW THEORY.
Prof. Virgins Believes Man Came 0rigi-
nally From Mars.

Prof. Virgins, Of Canada, has
theory that man originally came from
Mars Oh the tail Of a comet.
There is, in addition, the professor
says, overwhelming evidence that Eve
found her way here IN the same man
ner.
II have no time now to enter into a
detailed discussion on this point"
said Prof. Virgins, 'butI believe the
serpent that begniled Eveand caused
all our woe was a comet"
The Professor was found in his little
observatory at britannia, his SUM-
mer home by Lake des Chenes.
There are bOdics," said the pro
fessor, "that travel from the moon to
the earth.
SIN 1872 and 1886, when acomet was
crossing our orbit, millions Of meteors
fell to the earth. Some of these were
examined by DR.. Hahn, the eminent
German gcologist. who found they
contained series or organic remains,
as crinoids, sponges and corals-in all
80 species. These must have come
from another world, possessing an
atmosphere and producing animal life,
for we have nothing like them on
earth.
IF an enormous comet were to pass
close to Mars there is nothing more
certain than it would carry away the
land animals on the hemisphere next
to that and would probably drop them
to the earth, as it would meteOrc
stones, If one chanced to be near its
orbit at the moment Of its passage,
and in this same way we might be
carried off to Mars.
"This could not happen between
the earth and any other planet, fol
Mars is the only one which revolyes
in the same plane or level as the earth
so that comet passing Jupiter Of
any other planet toward the sur
!. would not pass near us. There i:
overwhelming evidence, but l have M
time to state it, though very interest
! ing, that the serpent that beguilet
Eve and caused all our woe was ;
comet.

Ask the next wise man you meet
how many lead pencils are consumed
by the inhabitants of the United
States. If he answers correctly, he
will lsay something less than four for

made now comes from Florida. Itls

AN EXCHANGE OF WIVES.
Two Men Secure Divorces and Celebrate q
Double Wedding.

UOuOle WeuulnS,
Two romantic and sensational we'd
dings are reported from Pana, III,
being the marriage Of Miss Elsie Han
sen, aged 36, to Edwasd Munday, aged
40, and Miss Lizzie McDermott, aged
80, to Thomas Ellison, aged 53. The
weddings were duly celebrated at the
respective homes of the brides, Judge
William Pierce officiating. The ro-
mantle portion Of these events is the
fact that Munday's present wife was
the former wife Of Ellison, and Eli
sons present wife the former wife of
Munday. Ellison was legally divorced
from his first wife, now Mrs. Munday,
last Wednesday, and the now Mrs.
Ellison was divorced from Edward
Munday also last Wednesday in the
circuit court at Taylorville. Conse-
quently, it was an exchange of wives.
The contracting parties are upon the
best of terms and are intimate asso-
ciates. The present Mrs. Ellison
made the wedding gown of Mrs.
Munday and vice versa, and the we'd
dings were arranged by the CONTRACT
ing parties prior to securing their
divorces last Wednesday.

A girl ina Kansas school has beer
suspended, it is said, for reading the
following essay on "pants:"
Pants are made for men, and not
men for pants. Women are made fol
men, and not pants. When man
pants for woman and a woman pants
for a man they are a pair OF pants
Such pants don't last. Pants are
like molasscs-they are thinner in hot
weather, and thicker in cold weather
<rhe man In the moon changes his
pants during the eclipse. Don't yor
20 to the pantry for pants; you might
be mistaken: Men are often mistaken
in pants such mistakes are breeches
Of promise. There has been much
discussion us to whether pants is sin
guar or plural. 1t seems to me that
when men wear pants they are plural
and II they won't wear any the,
would be very singular. Men go on
tear In their pants, but when TIN
pants go on a tear they are all wrong.

WONDERFUL HAIR.

The suppositiOn that the climate Of
California is conducive to the growth
of hair becomes a selt-evident truth
in the hands Of an cnthusi lstic wri-
ter for a San Francisco paper, who de-
clarcs that 10 per cent. of the San
Francisco women are blessed with a
tremendous abundance of hair, re-
sembling that OF the seven Suther.

en- seem to be highly favored in thi,
direction. The old saying that where
flowers grow in great abundance an6
perfection the women have beautiful
hair seems to apply to California. Yet
it is frankly stated that it is the
younger generation which has the
most abundant supply. So, with all
the virtues Of the wonderful climate
Of our Pacific coast, it does not give
eternal youth to its women or pre-
serve their beauty beyond the allot-
ted time.

TOMORROW.
BIT CLIFFORD HOWARD.

Hopeful youth with rosy face,
Struggling in the mortal race,
Never wearied, never tired
Ever by the thought inspired
That for every pain we borsow
Comes redemption on the morrow;
Sacrificing strength and soul
Striving, striving for the goal
That awaits the life tomorrow
Spurning flowers Of to-day
For the blossoms rich array
OF tomorrow, of Tomorrow.
. Listless age with withered face,
Drifting in the mortal race,
Worn and helpless, lone and weary,
Gazing through the shadows drcary
OF the long, long night of sorrow
For the sunrise of the morrow;
Drifting, drifting to the sea
Of eternal mystery.
While the world repeats "To-morrow,
Thus it speeds the soul from strife,
Thus it greets the newborn life,
With Tomorrow" aye, tomorrow.
