Mexican Negro Colony a Failure.

News comes from Mapimo, Mexico, that Bill Ellis, the negro agitator, who prevailed upon 800 negroes from Alabama and Georgia to go to Tlihuilo, Durango, Mexico, for farm work, where they have become practically enslaved, has been sent to the colony to conduct the negroes back to the American border, where they will be turned loose The negroes have been dying so fast and have proven so un- ruly from ill-treatment that the colony managers have resolved to get rid of them. The colony is regarded as a failure in that locality.

An Old Negro and His Find.

William Morris, an aged negro of New Market, Ala, found s2,OO0 in cave recently. He could not count it, so he sent it by his brother to Gadsden and exchanged it for gold. He gave his brother $500, kept s200 for his own use, and buried the remainder in the cave. The other morning Morris showed the money to Nat Powers, prominent young man of New Market and told him about that in the cave. That night Powers and two negroes, it is said, went to Morris cabin and called him out to drink some whisky They then presented pistols and told him if he did not show them the money he would be killed. It is al- legged that they shot him and the old man refused to tell where his gold was hidden. Powers and the two negroes were arrested.

r. P. Eulle3k contributes to The
Popular Science Monthly a pessimistic
and rather odi paper OIL the personal
equation in human truth. There is in
the human mind, he says, no such thing
as a conception Of the absolute truth.
The reason i, that truth in our minds is
ALWAYS colored by orr own selfish de-
sires and feelings. 1--WE deliberately
disregard those relations which do not
vitality concern W selfish inter-
ests. Most people are like the man
who said he had no objection to tell
ing the truth if he could only think
Of the STUFF. Unfortunately Mr.. Hal
ieck is right, for the majority Of man
kind. Truth telling is a matter Of de.
velopment, intellectual and moral. 1t
requires a high order of intellect to tell
the exact truth. The person who is de.
veloped IN the upper stories of his brain.
front and back, has sense enough to see
that he is only one of millions, all with
the saUe desires and passions. The way
to get the most happiness and to make
the least trouble for himself is to accord
to every other man exactly the same
right he thia,,s he ought to have for
himself. THIS is not a matter of re-
ligion. 1t is simply a matter of mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation, and the person who
has brains enough to make the calcula-
ton will see that if be wants happiness
himself he must accord it to others in
the same degree in which he expects it
himself. We must not do TO Others the
things we should be extremely indig-
nant if they did to US. We must not
excuse in ourselves faults and sins we
would condemn bitterly and punish in
others.
Therefore if you can't tell the truth
tell the truth as much as you can.

It is very easy to understand why
China has encountered steady defeat in
her war with Japan. The cause rests in
the treatment she accords to the COM.
mon soldier. Japan's common soldiers
are SO full Of fiery patriotism that the
peace negotiations were kept long from
them and the common people for fear
there would be a revolt if the war stop
ped before the army had reached the
gates Of Picking. japanese soldiers are
fairly we'll fed and we'll taken care of.
Those Of China, on the other hand. are
wretchedly paid. If they are wounded,
even the miserable pittance they are &C.
corded on duty stops, as it also does if
they are i'll. There is no pension for
either them or their families under any
circumstances. They are SO many cattle
who exist only for the benefit of the
emperor and the chief noblemen. They
have no patriotism. How could they
have? 1t makes little difference to them
whether they live or die. At the same
time they are treated so wretchedly it
is said that the private fortune Ii Hung
Chang has squeezed out Of the common
people amounts to 5000, 600, 900. What
wonder China was whipped!

Forty-four years ago William II.
Seward, il a speech in the United
States senate, prophesied that Europe,
with all its commerce, politics and his
tory, would in time sink into insignif-
compared to the great and grow
ing Pacific region. The Atlantic has it's
day now. The day Of the Pacific is at
hand.
Quoting from Stewards speech as q
text, ex-Mlnister Lorrin A. Thurston
of Hawaii contributes to The North
American Review one of the most i'm
bortant and interesting magazine papers
that have appeared in many a day. His
tables comparing the tonnage Of vessels
show that already Sydney has nearly
bali as much shipping as New York
city. San Francisco has already nearly
as much as Boston and more than Phil
adelphia. South Australia imports and
exports more goods Per capita OF popu-
latlon thar any other country OF the
globe. Hawaii, 1.-THE Gibraltar Of the
Pacific, actually entered more ships
flying the American flag than were ca
tered at any other port in the world in
1893. Honolulu's foreign trade already
amounts to SIC, 600, 600 a year.
A matter that vitality interests the
whole American people is the fact that
the British government gives 10 less
than S3,711, 1872 every year in certain
Pacific ocean steamer lines, and this is
only a part Of her subsidies to encourage
trade III that quarter. What is the
United States thinking of that il lots
England slip i'll and steal the greatest
commerce the world has ever known,
possibly ever will know, from under
our fingers: Mr.. Thurston lays stress
on what is certainly the fact-that peo-
pie east of the Rocky mountains have
no realization of the greatness of their
own Pacific coast. Our population west
Of the Rocky mountains in one year
more will certainly be equal to that Of
the whole l3 colonies at the beginning

ing which has stopped lead still in the

Moreover, Siberia already produces one-
sixth of the worlds gold output every
year, and she is only beginning,
MI. Thurston concludes with the
prophecy that within the next few years
steamships Will radiate fro:n Vladivos-
tok to all tho American Pacific coast
and 60 through the Nicaragua canal;
that a railroad will be completed from
Alaska to Chile, and that the Pacific
coast steamers will be as large and swift

other pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitual constipation
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold arrangements. The Pellets "
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them; they do not
interfere with the diet habits or occupa-
ton, and produce no pain, gripping or shock
to the system. They act in mild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings, heartburn, pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange-
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as household remedy after the
first trial. Put UP in sealed, glass Walls,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little Pellet" is laxative, two are mildly
cathartic. As "dinner pill" to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recon-
mended to be Just as good" 1t may be
better for the dealer, because of paying him
better profit, but lie is not the one who

of the members is occasioning great la
Dor and watchfulncss to keep the floors
of the building in their usual bright con-
dition. Probably but few realize that the
air they breath in the House and Senate
is changed every four minutes, so they
cannot possibly be inhaling any stale or
second hand air. The temperature in the
legislative halls is also the occasion for
a display of eternal vigilance, and any one
following the faithful and efficient En-
gineer Libby as he makes his rounds for
but one day would want to rest the next.
Any members having the time, would be
amply rewarded by inspecting the engine
room in the basement and noting the
workings of the machinery including the
great fan which regulates the atmosphere.
