A San Francisco dispatch of recent date
said that Hip Sing Lee, a wealthy China
man, wished to procure a white husband
for his daughter and was prepared to pay
several thousand dollars to any white man
of good reputation who would marry her.
It transpires that the heather heiress and
her doting papa are myths. But the hun
dreds of white men who would marry
anybody or anything for a price are liv-
ing realities, and they are burdening the
mails and adding to the postofiee reve-
nues by writing letters to Hip Sing Lee.

How Father MaIOney Helped the
Church.

Father Maloney was one of the best
known and best loved men in Nevada" re-
marked an old mining man, TO the San
Francisco Post, land l am sure he did as
much for the church as any two men in
the state. When Father Maloney solicited
subscriptions for new church men who
never gave before dug down deep into their
pockets and donated with an appearance
of cheerfulness that was surprising. One
day he walked into a saloon where a big
poker game was running. He watched the
play till he could speak without interrupt
ing and then said
" Gentlemen, we are trying to get money
enough to build a lew church here. Do
any of you feel disposed to help us out
"a big, raw-boned fellow, who had been
losing steadily, and was consequently in
no pleasant mood, growled.
I'm rastle you for $40
without word Father Maloney pro-
duced the amount and laid it on the bar.
The gambler looked surprised and hest
tated, but when the other players COM
menced to jeer him he got up and covered
the priests wager. They pulled off their
coats and squared off. Father .Maloney
commenced playing for an opening in
manner that showed he was no stranger
to the sport. The big fellow made a rush
and threw out a long arm to clinch his
opponent around the neck. Quick as
flash Father Maloney grabbed his wrist
with both hands. turned, and threw the
big fellow clear over his shoulder. He
struck on his back with crash that made
the glassware behind the bar rattle and
Jump. Father Maloney quietly donned
his clerical coat, pocketed the stakes, and
watched the big fellow pick himself up
painfully.

little undignified, but have made $40 for

1t is almost pity that the crank with
the hammer did not break the so-called
Columbian liberty bell when he tried to
the other day. The bell is fake, a dime
museum freak manufactured for advertis-
ing purposes. 1t represents nothing. 1t
ought to be hung on farm or in a facto-
ry-if any farmer or manufacturer could
be induced to give it shelter-where it
might be Of some service. The PROPOSE
ton that the bell be rung every night at
midnight until Cuba is free, is both nom
sensical and outrageous-unless the man
ayers of the bell propose to take it into
the Businesses of some swamp. where no.
body can be disturbed by It. If the mid
night ringing programme were to be at
tempted, it would probably be safe to
wager that some other crank with ham
mer would turn up long before Cuba wins
her independence

South Carolina appears determined to
remain unique among the states in the
matter of her marriage laws. She Will
continue to deny divorces for any reason
whatsoever, and further than that, will
not recognize a divorce granted under
the laws of any other state. If a person
who has been married in South Carolina
and divorced in another state marries
again and returns to South Carolina,
such person is a bigamist under the law;
the offspring of such union is illegiti-

Ex-Congressman Buck" Kilgore of
Texas. who was not long ago appointed
one of the judges of the federal district
court in the Indian territory. is being
given an interesting quarter of an hour
by some of the attorneys that practice
in his court. They have sent complaints
to Washington alleging that the new judge
has only a rudimentary knowledge of the
law. and that he employs smart young
man to formulate and write out all OF
his decisions. 1t is asserted that the
judge never delivers an important decIs-
ion or makes an important ruling before
first asking his young employee what to
do about it. Judge Klgore has not vet
been confirmed by the Senate.

SmnIIs' Amendment.

The amendment to the proposed pro-
vision in the new constitution prohibiting
marriage between white and colored peo-
pie, offered by delegate Robert Small in
the South Carolina constitutional conven-
ton on Wednesday, took the convention
somewhat by surprise, and yet the amend
ment is a good one and there can be no
reasonable objection TO it, If marriage
between white and colored people is to be
prohibited, and it should be prohibited
there is no good reason that can be urged
against the Small amendment The
amendment he offered provides, in eff
feet, that children of an unmarried
couple, one being white and the other
colored, shall bear the name of the faith
er, and shall inherit their fathers prop
erty Just as if they were legitimate, and
that the father shall be debarred from
holding public office.
The purpose of the law against mar
riage between the white and black races
is TO prevent the mixing of the races. The
amendment offered by Delegate Small
would tend i'm a marked degree to carry
out that purpose. There is certainly lit
tie sense or justice in legislating against
marriage between the white and black ra-
ces and then winking at a condition of
affairs that produces results that are
sought to be prevented by legislation. The
amendment offered by Delegate Small is
on the right line, and should have general
approval.

The aesthetic air affected by Vassar col

Gus. The other day in PoughEeepsie a
Vassar girl was walking in the park. She
had the ''Vassar air. down fine, and was
putting IT on in a manner that should
have been most fetching. A man who
saw her. and who had heard that a pa
tient had just escaped from the insane
asylum, was sure from her appearance
that her mind was not all right, and start
ed out to have the inoffending girl arrest
ed. She screamed and ran into a house,
which confirmed the mans suspicious
that she was the escaped patient. How
ever, friends arrived in time to save her
from the modification Of being carried
by force to the asylum. 1t is safe to say
that she will not try the ''Vassar air.

The Surplus Revenue.
From the Baltimore Sun DENY.

The surplus of revenue in September
IS small but substantial and gratifying.
1t Is unwelcome to protectionists, who
would like to see a deficit instead, in the
hope that a deficit would cause duties to
the people generally will accent il as
an omen of prosperity. 1t win be taken as
a sign that the buoyant tide has reached

the era of deficits is about past. The ces-

The farmers and fruit growers Of Flor

to secure lower freight rates on their
products. Their meeting the other day

as it deserved to be. but it was the be-
ginning Of a movement that win result
in good If properly followed up. They
will find that the railroads will meet
them in a spirit of friendliness, and give
attention to their complaints. The farm

more good in one year by dealing di-
rectly with the railroads than would be
accomplished in a dozen years if they
left their grievances in the hands Of the
politicians.

At Maspeth, L. l., on Wednes-
day night one insignificant pugilist
pounded another insignificant pugilist
into insensibility. The authorities did
not interfere. Presumably the contest
was not a prize fight. Was it because
the heavyweight champion was not one
of the principals? The small-fry fighters
seem to have no trouble about pulling
off their mills but when the big fight
ers try to get together a spasm of virtue
convulses the community in which it
IS proposed that they shall meet Is it
the prize and the personality of the fight
ers. and not the brutality of fighting,
which make pugilistic encounters OBJ
jectionable? Cannot the lightweight
fighters be as brutal as the heavyweight
ones? All of them ought to be treated
alike. None should be allowed to fight.
or they all should be granted the priv
iege of beating each other whenever
mutually agreeable.

American agriculture is in nothing
Ike the condition the calamity Ihowlers
81 two years ago insisted that 1t was,
according to latte census bulletin. The
,1aaous state of the farmers, ground
a1wn by debt and eNtortionate inter

b.aiatln takes the life out Of the whole
thing OF about four and three-quarter
millions Of farm families, less than
100000 were carrying mortgages In
1880. The farm families owning their
lands free of mortgage were almost
ono,balf of the whole number, and
these renting farms just about one
tiGll. The greater part of the mort
cages represents money borrowed to
buy lands and make Improvements.
1t is very important to know that spec
uative purposes or extravaganza, bad
crops and hard times had little to do
With the loans made. The American
farmer is prosperous and he would be
more progressive and much better off
is he would clean out the theorists and
