BREAK THE CHAIN.

Sometime since the CITIZEN published letter from Miss Brown, of K sn l. vile, H., making an appeal for cancel d postage stamps, and also letter from the express agent at that place stating the enormous amount of material thai was being sent to the reckless solicitor As stated in her letter three letters were sent out to as many friends who ip turn were each requested to write to three other friends and so ou till the 50th let ter had been reached. Before thls end could be obtained, however, the earth and the inhabitants thereof would be swamped, as may be noted by the fni- lowing computation made by the Chica- go Inter Ocean:
 The first link of the chain had only tn ee letters, the second twenty-seveo, the third 243, and so on, until the if tieth. which Miss Brown made the length of her chain, would bring in 7S6,- 52S, 365, ,056, ,735, ,5SS, ,77O, ,299 letters, and if there were no breaks the whole chain would carry 1,179. .592, ,547, ,5S5. 1O2 Ss3, - 155, ,372 letters, and each of these carry ing ten cancelled stamps would give Miss Brown II, ,795, ,925, ,475, ,S51 OPS, ,S3l,- 553,720 stamps, or more than could be made of all the paper man nufactured in the whole world. If the postmaster al Ksneville should receive ali these stamps and spread them out over the whole sur face of Illinois, 1t is estimated by care- ful ststisticians that they would pile up into a mountain about four thousand miles high, and so change the center of gray ty as to Ipeet the whole solar sys- tenn. Of course Miss Brown never con templated such sn interference with the center of gravity and the solar system, but she has set in motion chain that. if allowed to run its course, would plant on the foundations of this fair Prairie state 'he greatest mountain ever dream ed of, and it would he entlraly of post age stsmps. But that is not all.
 To write these letters all the 70,000,- 900 men. women, and children in this country, each writing 100 letters a day, would be kept busy six days in the week for 34l, ,S56, ,1S4, ,645 years, and if all the l,400.O00,000 l, people of the world should be wiling to chip in and help it would still require l7O,978, ,O72, ,O8O years to accomplish the tack.
 Miss Brown. like Pandora, has left hope. The chain is still dragging out its length through the world. and ai- ready she has about 10,0O0,0O0 letters that have cost their writers about S50,- GOO to send to KgneviIle, but Miss Brown, and the postmaster, and all the Kaneville people hope that the chain will be broken off short to give them little respite from the etamp craze.

A DESPATCH from Yankee Hill, Colo rsdo to the Denver Republican, says that "the bill recently introduced in the senate by Senator Teller to exempt claim owners from doing their annual assessment work meets with great dis favor among the greater majority of the miners there. A large number of vaiu- able prospects here that would require but small outlay to make them paying properties are owned by non-residents. who, under the exemption law of the past two years, have let them he Idle, thus retarding the progress of the camp in the matter of development work. The miners here want to see at least $100 assessment work done on every claim or the property allowed to pass into the hands of parties who will work it." That is just what ought to be done ID Arizona. There should be no more exemptions. Assessment work to the value of S100 should be done or tie claim abandoned. The bill should be beaten, it is bad law and does much to retard the mineral development of the country.

Mothers.

One good mother IS worth hun dred schoolrnasters," said George Her bert. Men are what their mothers are peevish and irritable, through irregul- arIties' "female weakness" and kindred ailments, they find no pleasure, no beauty in the care of their babes. All effort IS torture. Let all such, who feel weighed to the earth with "wesk nesses" peculiar to their sex, try Dr. Pierce's Favorits Prescription. They will find the little ones delight instead of & torment.
 To those about to become mothers 1t is priceless booo. It leesens the paiEs and perils of childbirth, sbortens labor and promotes the secretion of an sbund- ance of nourishment for the child.

SEVERAL days since the CITIZEN had an editorial in reference to the bill be- fore the legislature for the refunding to ex-Governor Wolfiey the expenses in cured by him in securing the passage of the territorial funding bill through congress. We said, at that time, that the bill was 8 righteous one and that it should pass, and today we are more than ever convinced of the truthfulness of our position. The bill was conceived by Governor Wolfiey shortly after he entered the executive mansion and was made the pet measure of his administrs- tion. To introduce the bill and secure its passage through congress required repeated journeys to Washington and months of labor in its behalf. This was done at his own personal expense and De should be reimbursed for his outlay. The saving to the territory through the provisions of this bill is over S59,000 an- nualiy. This saving is made in interest on outstanding territorial indebtedness. The amount given has been certified to by the territorial auditor, and conse- quently is correct. Had the measure been otherwise than a good one the res probabilities would have rested with him alone, but inasmuch as the result has been so far otherwise, it is the bounden duty of the territory to reim- purse him for his outlay, principal and interest. The bill so far as We can learn finds favor with our law makers, and there IS every reason to believe that jus tice will be done in the premises The debt is an honest one and should be paid.

CHINA is not only losing in the field and on the sea, but is each day the war continu ues losing possession of land and treasure. for Japan's demands are in- creasing with every victory. She wants more land concessions and more money indemnity now than dreamed of early ID the contest. Well would it have been for China had she given some regard to Japan's reasonable propositions prior to the beginning of the war. The refusa! has nof only brought ignominious de- feat. but Loss of navy, loss of territory, loss of reputation, loss of thousands of lives And still China dallies.

A MERE ACCIDENT.
Was Responsible for the Fact That Ten nyson's s'Timbuctoo" Got the Prize.


 nyson's .'Timbuctoo'' Got the Prize.
 MT. James Payn tells an amusing story of the way in which Tennyson s ''Timbuctoo" won it's prize at the uni versity, says the New York Tribune
 The examiners for the year were three-the vice chancellor, who had a great reputation but violent temper and did not write very well; classical professor who knew no poetry that was not in a dead language, and mathe- matical professor. It was agreed that each should signify by the letters ''g" and "b'' (for ''good' and 'bad') what he thought of the poems and the vice had the manuscript first.
 When the mathematical professor got them he found ''Timbuctoo" scored all over with ''g's," and though he could not understand why, nor indeed the poem itself, and did not think it worth while as he afterward said; the the fact was that he was afraid to ask the vice his reasons, so he wrote ''g'' on tine poem also. The classical professor thought it rather funny that both his predecessors should admire so unintel- ligible production; but, as he said, 'he did not care one iota about the matter anG so wrote ''g'' on it also; and as no other poem had three '@g's' the prize was unanimously awarded to the author of 'Timbuctoo."
 After all was over the three examin- CTS happened to meet one day and She vice, in his absolute fashion. fell to abusing the other two for admiring the poem. They replied very natu- rally and with some indignation that they should never have dreamt of ad- miring it if he himself had not scored it over with ''g's." ''G's," he said. they were as for queries. and I could not understand two consecutive lines of it''
 MT. Payn says that there was a queer resemblance between himself and another Trinity man. Not only was often addressed by persons who took me for him, but people used to ask, aprcpos of nothing, whether I knew So-and-So. 1 remember making a considerable impression on d chance passenger in railway train on the Cambridge line, who was staring at me rather hard, by suddenly ohserv- ing: NO, sir. l do not know Mir. So- and-So.' It had been the very oues- tiOn he was going to ask me, but my anticipation of it seemed to him so un- canny that he got out at the next station ,,

apparen: trade balance against certain nation, the matter may be dismissed with the reflection tbst in a year or two the balance will be the other way. reference to the so-called trade balances of the United States shows the fallacy of this thing. In the thirty year period from 1S45 to 1875, there were but four years when balance appeared in favor of the United States. These four fav- orable balances amounted to about SoO,- 900, 900, while there were years Tn the period m which the adverse balance was three times as great as the the az greg ate of the favorable balances. But one result of this unfavorable balance was national debt in 1875 of g.. 234, . 531. During the war domestic industries were practically suspended and large foreign purchases were the consequence. In the decade between 1916 and lS56 there was but one year when the balance of trade was in our favor. California was pouring in gold into eastern cities, but little of it emsined there. The re- venue tariff of 1846 was In operation, and from 1S4S to 1858 the trade balance was steadily against us. Now one can- not help the conclusion that if the S3OO,- 100000, more or less, which was paid m that ten years period to foreign nations for things that might have been pro- duced at home, had been distributed among our own people, the crisis of 1857 would have been less severe. If the s300,000,000 could have been converted into trade balance of the same amount in our favor, the crisis might have been averted entirely. In trade matters 8 nation is governed by the same laws as an individual. lift buys more than it sells it will be short of money. Its greater resources enable it to tide over a longer period of adverse trade bal snces, but in the end expenditure must be kept down to revenue.

IT is positively stated by those who ou yht to know that the principal reason why the correspondence between ex- Solicitor General Maxwell end Attorney General Olney, which led to the formers resignation, has not been made public is that it would raise question of vera city between Mir. Olney and Secretary Carlisle which would be bound to result in the retirement of one or the other from the cabinet. It is understood, and has been for long time, that Mir. Cleveland would be very glad to get rid of Mr. Olney, but that he fears him too much to attempt to force him out. MT. Oiney is credited with being the only man in the cabinet who has his own way, and it Is sad that upon occasion he browbeats Mir. Cleveland in terrible manner, and doesn't always wait until they are alone to do it. It Isn't MT. Olney himself that Mir. Cleveland is afraid of, but the forces which are be- hind him-corporate wealth.

CONGRESS very often votes one way when sitting as a committee of the whole, when votes are not recorded, and another when regular yea and nay vote is taken. That is just what it did last week, on the proposition to make the pay of the clerks to representatives an- nual instead of during the actual sitting of congress, as at present. The propos- ition was twice endorsed in committee of the whole, but when the yea and nay vote was taken it footed 142 against gpd only g iD favor of it.

CAN SHOOT THEM DOWN.
If the Prize Fighters Won't Disperse, Use Fire arms, Says the Attorney-General
 to the Sheriff.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 27.-Atorney-Genera Crane this morning handed down his opinion in the Corbett- tt-Fitzsimmons prize fighting case in reply to an interrogatory of Sheriff Cabell of Dallas county as to whether he had any legal right to shoot down people while attempting to sup press the fight The attorney-general says that in effect the fighters, referees, etc., constitute an unlawful assemblage and the statutes of the state make spe- cial provisions for the disbandment of such unlawful assemblages; that the sheriff is empowered to summon posse. or even the militia, to his aid, and in case the fighters will not cease their unlawful conduct, then, that the statutes espe- cially provide that homicide is justifiable when absolutely necessary to suppress riot or unlawful gatherings.
 The attorney-general concludes his opinion by saying, while he does not be- lieve 1t necessary, still if it is necessary the statute provides that the sheriff can use fire arms in disbanding any unlawful assemblage.

WILL MEET IN ATLANTA.
The New England Cotton Manufacturers, in
 Cctoher

Baltimore, Aug. 27.-For some weeks past R. H. Edmunds, editor of the Man ufacturers' Record of this city, has been endeavoring to induce the New England Cotton Manufacturers' association to hold its next October annual meeting in Atlanta. The board of governors, to whom the matter was presented, being unwilling to take the responsibility of such a decision, submitted the question by mail to every member, with letter from Mr. Edmunds, setting forth the reason why it would be desira ble for the cotton manufacturers of New England to visit the south in October. The vote has just been made by mail, and MT
 Edmunds received word this morning that it is in favor of Atlanta. This will take into the south the largest number of New England cotton mill manufac- turers who have ever been in that sec tion, as the association is composed of about 400 members, representing every leading cotton manufacturing enterprise in New England. The aggregate capital invested in mills represented by these gentlemen is upwards of $3000O0,OO0.
