Old Hotels.

New York Mercantile and Financial Times.
The closing Of the Grand Pacific
hotels at Chicago is an illustration
of the fate that overtakes all hotels
and houses inhabited by many people
at one time. The Grand Pacific had
prosperous career of % years, quite
as long as the average age of even
the best hotels. The walls and floors
of houses of public entertainment get
hard usage. Tragedies are enacted
in them all, drunken men go on furi-
Gus sprees and stay in hotel rooms to
sober up. The iercest and oftentimes
the worst passions of humanity have
play among those who throng within
hotel doors. More than all, what
DR.. Holmes calls the "still, sad odor
of humanity" in time permeates all
their walls and draperies. The shad-
ows of the despair, the scheming,
the restlessness, the atmosphere of
the stale tobacco smoke, of the
great unwashed thousands, float upon
the air and are breathed in by each
denizen of the place in his turn. The
building assumes an old fashioned,
dilapidated look. Even where it is
kept repaired the same "still, sad
odor of humanity" pervades it. The
luxurious and snowy hotels of less
than generation past must 60. The
same is true of the great apartment
houses in cities. Even the best of
them become rickety and run down
in comparatively few years. Cali
houses wherein men have lived and
died are haunted" these most of all.

Shreveport. Times: Mr.. John P.
Scott has sold to Mr.. VIM. Sloan
tho residence and g. acres of land,
recently purchased at sheriff's sale,
of Mr.. Lloyd Bowers, for $3.50.
The property is situated in the ST.

Two town lots on the levee have

ering the petitions Of one-third of
the property taxpayers, adopted

Any one who has ever had an at
tack of infammatory rheumatism will
rejoice with Mr.. j. A. Stumm, 220
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, over his
fortunate escape from a siege of that
distressing ailment. Mr.. Stumm is
foreman of Merriam's confectionery
establishment. Some months ago,
on leaving the heated work room to
run across the street on an errand, he
was caught out in the rain. The re-
suit was that when ready to go home
that night he was unable to walk,
owing to infammatory rheumatism.
He was taken home, and on arrival
was placed in front Of good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. During the evening
and night he was repeatedly bathed
with this iniment, and by morning
was relieved of all rheumatic pains.
He now takes especial pleasure in
praisinS Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
and always keeps bottle of it in the
house. For sale by w. M. Abney,
druggist.

After all, it was the little republic
of Salvador and not the big republic
of the United States that settled the
Nicaraguan affair. Salvador, in Of
fering to become surety for the pay
ment of the S77,5OO demanded by
England of Nicaragua, did both a
plucky and friendly thing, and in
a way did something for the Monroe
doctrine too. The incident will un-
doubtedly shake little the conf
dence with which the Central Amer
lean republics looked up to the Unit
ed States as to their protector from
the rapacity OF European nations.-
But if at the same time it will cause
them to look to united action, frater-
nifty and pluck among themselves
as their best guarantee from foreign
aggression, then all the better. They
are best protectad who protect them
selves.

Siberia is becoming transformed
from a region of horrors to a land
where great fortunes can be made
speedily. Siberian stock is rising
in public estimation. Australia was
at first merely penal settlement
for England. Now it is the richest
and most respected of her colonial
possessions. A like result will fol
low in Siberia. At first merely a
penal settlement for Russia, it's vast
natural resources must inevitably
fill it up with the most vigorous and
enterprising of people, who will civ
ilize its savage wilds. Those wilds
arc no longer so savage as they once
seemed to be. Reports have been
received from time to time of gold
discoveries in Siberia. These will
transform it more quickly than any.
thing else. Rich mines have lately
been opened in Yeniseisk, in East
Siberia.

In view of the economic changes,

In view of the economic changes,
millionaire fortunes, great industrial
corporations, ETC., that have come
upon the scene since the United
States Constitution was adopted,
would the fathers, if they could come
back and make the Constitution over
again, frame it exactly as they did
before? Undoubtedly they would
not. For one thing they would make
it Enthusiastically clear whether an
income tax were constitutional or
not. Undoubtedly, if majority of
them, in their new reincarnation,
were millionaires, they would put
into the supreme law of the land
against an income tax. If, on the
other hand, they were statesmen and
honest they would make it SO plain
that an income tax was proper and
just, that a corrupt Congress could
not mystify the statute SO that
it may be brought before apurchass :
able Supreme Court.

to brighten and bride politicians and
wreck the Treasury. Nowhere was
there recognition of the vast sums
actually paid out. When the nations
annual pension bill was leaping up
from S2s,OOO,OOO to S64,OO0,00O,
thence to S1O6,OOO,OOO and $685.
100000, the cry for new largesses
was even louder and more shame
less. Even after the scandalous and
wicked dependent-pension law of.
1890, the Grand Army declared that
this ''would not satisfy the veterans"
Nothing would satisfy them except
an absolute turning over of the
Treasury to their pillaging hands.
Such another record of progress
i've greed and dishonesty it would be
hard to match. In fact, for ten years
back the mask has been thrown off
the Grand Army. It used to have
cooler heads, better advisers and
leaders. The reckless pension in
trigues were brought up year after
year, but were regularly voted down.
Soon, however, the minority became
majority, only to have to fight
still more reckless minority, which
in turn captured the army after
year or two of struggle. For at
least ten years all pretences of saner
counsels or self.restraint has been
abandoned, and the more wild the
scheme, the more unblushing the
greed, the more eager and uncon-
cealed the rallying of the Grand
Army to its support.
These years of eliminating shame
have at last broken the prestige of
the army. Politicians of the baser
sort may tremble at it still: the per-
functory frothing of the newspapers
over it may go on at each new mag
ined insult, but the people as whole,
thousands and thousands of honest
veterans themselves, are Disguised
with it,
Ten years ago public official who
spoke i'll of it would have taken his
life in his hands. Now he can smile
at the yelping, for the rake's progress
of the Grand (?) Army has been too
openly and disagreeably brought
| home to the American people to leave
them much concern for an organiza-
ton which has outlived it's useful
ness and it's honor.
