Worked TO the Limit

at each other and then at the friendly
man they shook their heads.

What kind of money is it?'

Il just picked up a dime there. and 7

stood there waiting for a car he felt a
pun at his coat tail, and a small boy with
a streaked face said:

Yes. found one"
We'll, lost it, honest. Ma sent me
Tor bread, and now she'll lick me-

The boy grabbed il and ran
1hat evening when the man alighted
from the car at the same corner a boy
him and asked:

Next day another boy with the proud
evidence of a hole in his pocket to back
up his claim, met the honest man at the
front gate and asked for the dime The
man knew that some one must have lost
the money, and he didn't want to over

dime. That evening two more were lying
in wait. He handed them 10 cents apiece
on condition that they should notify ali
the boys in the neighborhood that he had

For nearly twenty years there was an
anti-profanity law in South Carolina. Last
year. it seems, it was accidentally" re-
pealed. Nobody appeared to know, dur
ing the life of the law, that there was
such law, and there was probably as
much "cussing" in that state as in any
other in the union. During the last five or
six years profanity has been INDUCED in
by some political speakers while on the
stump. Nevertheless the South Carolina
legislators are into hot discussion as to
whether or not they shall pass a bill max
ing "cussing' in public places a INSIDE
fneanor. Having started out at the task
of making people good and pious by legis-
lation. the South Carolinians think they
must keep it up.

Rest From Tariff Tinkering.
From the New York World Dem.).

The country is assured at least two and
a half years of stability and peace on the
tarin. The democrats are opposed to
opening the question. The republicans
dare not open it. Business of all kinds
can make its plans without fear of any
general tariff unkering before March 8,
1897. In his message President Cleveland
recommends only such necessary amend
ments as will not change rates of duty
that is, to correct verbal errors. The re-
peal OF the small remaining duty on iron
ore and coal will not disturb unfavorably
any industry. The abolition of the sugar

profits of a single odious monopoly. But

Mr.. Carroll d. Wright occupies what
may be called the position of managing
editor of the census. He has under him
a large corps of sub-editors and reporters
whose duty 1t is to get out the facts of the
census and put them into comprehensive
form for publication. Some Of Mr..
Wrights sub-editors have developed a PEN
chant for writing long and useless es-
says based on the statistics of the census
which they hope to have published in the
reports. The census appropriation was
not made to pay for essays, therefore Mr.
Wright runs his blue pencil through such
stuff and throws it into the waste basket.
One essayist sub-editor has brought suit
in the courts to compel the publication of
his editorial on the Indian statistics.

Gov. Northen was. to degree. stern
official. He believed that convicted crimi-
mails should be punished according to the
sentences of the courts, unless the very
best reasons could be shown why the pun
ishment should be mitigated. The friends
of the tony" convicts that are now doing
time had little to expect of Gov Northen.
therefore they did not annoy him with
appeals for pardons, based on the sym
pathy of the appealers and a presumed
weakness of the governor. 1t is under
stood now, however. that Gov. Atkinson
viii be asked to pardon Harry Hill, Porter
Stocks, probably Lord Beresford, and
some other notorious white convicts now
in the state prison. To ask Gov Atkin-
son to do any such thing wuld be to as
sumo that he is less in favor of strictly
enforcing the law than was Gov. Northern
There should be no pardons for white and
tony convicts merely because they are
white and were once ornaments to So
ciety;" and there probably will be none.
The governor is a man of grit and good
judgment.

1t is said that an enterprising New York
theatrical manager is negotiating with
Butch" McCarver, one Of the Tennessee
lynchers. who has won fame as a law
breaker and perjurer, for the purpose of
having him appear as a star in a play
to be written around him. 1t is presumed
that Butch" you'd have to butcher three
or four negroes nightly on the stage, and
then go into a property court house and
commit perjury about his belief in a God

success in the north where, it seems

The South Carolina legislature will try
to bring official salaries in that state
down TO a level with scent cotton. To
that end a cut of 20 per cent. is contem-
plated. 1t is presumed if cotton is to be
made the basis of values in the state, that
the legislators will arrange it so the
salaries will go up when cotton booms
again.

Maj. Moses P. Handy, in the New York
Mail and Express, says of President
Cleveland's message: There is in it
none of the ginger which gave such snap
to the state papers which appeared over
his signature during his first administra-
ton" The trouble with the message is
that it is Mr.. Cleveland's. During his first
administration he set the standard of such
papers so high that the republicans ex-
pect more of him than of any other man.
The message lately sent to congress, while
only an ordinary paper, to come from
Cleveland, would have been considered a
great and powerful effort had it come
from Benjamin Harrison. Nobody ex-
poets anything of consequence from the
Harrison type of statesmen, while every-
Dody expects a great deal from Cleveland
ana II Cleveland does not reach above him
sen at each succeeding effort, some people
are disappointed.

More Kansas Misinformation

An Abilene dealer in Kansas securi-
ties has report just received from
Cincinnati dealers, who have immense
financial interests in this State, saying
that they learn that this vicinity "was
all burned up by reason Of hot winds
and drouth; that during the past few
days rain has fallen to the amount Of
five inches, being the whole seasons
rainfall come down at once"
This Is the kind Of information our
Eastern friends are getting. 1t would
be a relief to see real sensible &C.
count Of our condition In the columns
Of Eastern newspapers or in the hands
Of investors. II the investors really
believe the kind OF information that
they apparently receive, they can
hardly be blamed for losing confidence
in this State.
There has not, in years past been
as favorable spring as we have had
in central Kansas, and yet it is posi-
bic for the moneyed men Of the East
to have an idea like the one set forth
above.
There ought to be a rule in all Of
the offices Of investment companies
east Of the Mississippi river to make
no loans on Western property until
after a visit to this section, Such
visits ought 10 be made every three
months, in order that they may un-
derstand the untruthiulness Of the
weather information that Is dished

Very Unsound.

Gov. Lowellng Is sound on the vital point
Of this great question 1.-THE strlkel II on moth
Ing clse.--[The News.
Mr.. Lewelllng is just as unsound
on this strike as on everything else.
lie is just as dcmagogical and un-
reasoning as on other topics where he
has expressed his opinion. In the in
terview which the News quotes
Governor Lewclling said $50 far as
the Pullman company is concerned, |
have no sympathy for it."
Governor Lowelling and the other
members OF his administration show
ed their "lack Of sympathy" for the
Pullman company by reducing the as
sessmcnt Of the Pullman property in
Kansas almost 335 per cent.
The equalization did not equalize
very well either, as the assessors
raised the assessment Of the common
tourist sleepers. There are on an
average eight or ten tourist sleepers
that 60 across the State in week.
The assessment on this class Of cars
was raised from $1,000 to $4,000.
The "lack Of sympathy" was shown
however, for this ''heartless corpora
ton" by the assessment Of the regu-
lar Pullman sleepers, 1t was reduced
on these cars from $4,000 to $4,000
each, and instead Of eight or ten
crossing the State in week, between
rs and 80 cross the State every, day
in the year.
The previous board Of railroad as
SCISSORS (Republicam learned from the
Pullman company that these first
class cars cost when new $13, 800 each
and the law provides that all property
must be assessed at It's actual value,
That board Of assessors was told
that the average life Of Pullman car
was IS years and figuring for re-
furnishing and repairs the valuation
would be about $1,000 on an average
yet they assessed the cars but $4,000.
The Populist reform assessors how.
ever possessed 'less sympathy" and
they reduced the assessment to
$4,000.
This, too, in the face OF the fact
that the Pullman company was the
only corporation assessed by the
board which was known to be paying
dividends on its stock and had allowed
Its taxes to default, compelling the
State to go to the expense Of an eight
years suit in the courts to collect
back taxes due the State.
Governor dwellings brain is man
ufactured out Of cheap grade Of
buncombe and is not only naturally
unsound on publicquestions Of what
ever nature but Is getting more so the
more he attempts to use 1t,
