Economical MT. stayboIt.

s'The most economical man I know of, " said Mir Gratebar, is my friend and neighbor. Mir Staybolt. When he smokes q cigar. ho lights it carefully and completely, so that it will burn perfectly and without waste, and hay ing so lighted it he blows out the match. Of course he knows that match once ignited is of no further use, but his habit of mind is such that lie hates to see any waste of material whatever. Some men blow out a lighted match be- fore throwing it away, 50 that no harm can come from it. Mir. Staybolt may have tl1at in mind, too. but his actuat- ing impulse no doubt springs from his npikit of economy. ''-New York Sun.

Served Rot and Geld to Suit Our
Readers.
Two years ago the democratic party
went before the people as a party of
reform and humbly begged for a
chance to serve the dear people.
The chance was given them. What
is the result? They have served the
interests of combinations, trusts and
the money power as well, or even bet
ter, than the republican party. 0lney
was appointed attorney general to
prosecute violations of law by trusts.
corporations, etc. But he represents
some OF the corporations it is his duty
to prosecute. He doesn't move on
them worth a cent. The other day
congress felt called upon to prod him
little and it passed resolution re-
curing that's suit be brought against the
Union Pacific Railroad company.
Congress should have gone further.
1t should have proceeded to inpeach
Olney for criminal neglect of duty.
The Union Pacific Railroad company
has committed the most fragrant viola
tions OF law. The New York World
SUMS up some Of these violations as
follows:
The fact that the Union Pacific
Railroad company had violated nearly
every provision of the law above
quoted was not denied, even by legal
representatives of the road. The facts
were so clear as to be beyond dispute.
1t was known, for instance, that the
Union Pacific Railroad company had
declared dividends amounting to ST.
OOd, 900 without having earned them;
that it had issued over $4,000, 600 of
stock to purchase the Kansas Pacific
road. that it had granted a sub.
sidy of s1,5OO,OOO to the Pa
ei6e Mail; that it had guar
anteed the interest on the
bonds of other roads to the extent of
$1,000, 900; that it had allowed con
structive mileage to other roads to the
amount of $4,000, 600; that it had spent
Sl,aOO, OCO in maintaining its lobby,
and had contributed $1,000, 900 10 the
campaign funds of both political par
ties, and that fully $4,000, 900 had
been taken out of the Union Pacific
on Kansas Pacific bonds Here was
an aggregate of $4,000, OOO-every
dollar OF it illegally applied by the di-
restors of the Union Pacific road.
while not penny of the vast debt to
the government had been paid. The
record of the case was perfectly clear,
and the names Of the persons who, as
directors and stockholders, were the
benedciaries of the misapplication Of
the funds are well known.

A curious defect in French law was
brought to light in the suit of the ex.

Count de Bari, and Richard, the rec
ognized son of the latter. The ques.
ton was, whose son is Richard? 1t
might have been thought that Rich
ards mother would have been a useful
witness. But, as the affair is civil
one, Richards mother cannot be ques-
toned; for in French law woman is
considered incapable of answering a
civil question.
