He Took Time 10 D;e.

Amos r. Wells, in Harper's Weekly.
There was an old fellow who never mad
time
For a fresh morning look at the Volume
Who never had time for the soft hand of
prayer
To smooth out the wrinkles of labor and
Who could not find time for that service
most sweet
At the altar of home. where the dear ones
And never found time with the people of
God
To learn the good way that the fathers
have trod
,a But he found time to die. -.
He found time to die.
This busy old fellow too busy was he
To linger at breakfast, at dinner or tea
For the merry small chatter of children
and wife,
Too busy for kisses; too busy for play.
No time to be loving, no time to be CAV,
No time to replenish his vanishing health.
No time to enjoy his swift-gathering
But he found time to die.
He found time to die.
This beautiful world had no beauty for
him
Its colors were black and it's sunshine was
No leisure for woodland. for river or hill
No time, in his life just to think and be
No time for his neighbors, no time for his
friends
No time for those highest, immutable ends
Ofthe life of a man-who is not for a day.
But for worse or for better-for ever and
Yet he found time to die2
Oh, yes!
He found time to die.

In Behalf Of Temperance.

The meeting Of the British Woman's
Temperance Association and the Word g
Christian Temperance Union. in London.
England. accounts OF which are appear
ing in our European dispatches. is an
event Of no. ordinary importance. At tli's
meeting there are delegates from temper
ance organizations in all parts Of the
world. and very earnest workers in the
cause Of temperance they are In later
years women have almost wholly taken
charge Of temperance work. They do the
talking and writing and inaugurate and
carry on the temperance agitation in the
different localities.
It is remarkable how many really CT
fective temperance speakers and writer's
temperance workers are very much in
earnest. Why shouldn't they be? The
drunkenness that is abroad in the lan1
causes them more suffering and misery
than it does the men. As wives ana
mothers they have to bear the most OF
the poverty and brutality and other evils
for which drink is responsible. They are
the chief sufferers when their sons ana
husbands become drunkards.
Those who have not made themselves
acquainted with their work know Moth
ing of what they have accomplished
Their influence is felt everywhere in every
civilized country.
In this country they have secured INC
enactment OF temperance laws in many OF
the states, some of which are of a sweep
ing character. Two of the states ad-
mitted into the union in recent years
placed provisions in their constitutions
prohibiting the sale of intoxicauts within
their limits, and other states have local
option laws or high license laws.
The cause of temperance has made
great progress within the last twenty
years. and this progress is mainly due
TO the efforts of women. They are as
earnest now as they were when they began
to take part in the temperance agitation.
They realize that they may never az
complish the task they have undertaken,
but they know they are lessening the
power of the liquor evil and are. there
fore, encouraged to continue their work.

An Expensive Governor.

Gov. Altgeld of Illinois is a very expen-
sive governor. for more reasons than one
When his term is ended the people will
rejoice. There is no probability they will
give him a second term.
The main purpose of the extra session
is to make provision for revenue equal to
the appropriations, but with this subject
he Joined ten others. To consider all of
them would occupy a long time. and would
impose heavy burden on the taxpayers
But the governor was so full of the idea
Of having his pet subjects discussed at an
extra session that he forgot to mention,
as one of the matters to be considered, an
appropriation TO pay the expenses of an
extra session. Consequently. neither the
House nor the Senate can employ clerks,
doorkeepers. policemen, janitors and other
necessary attaches.
The opinion Is given out that the only
way out of the difficulty is for the governor
10 prorogue the legislature and issue a
new call. That would involve an expense
to the state of at'least $4,000.
Altgeld was pretty generally condemned
by the people of Illinois last July. when
he permitted a mob to take possession of
Chicago, and they will not think more
kindly of him for putting such an addi-
tional and unnecessary burden on them.

Sen IsInnd Chiffon.

During the cotton year of 1SS7-Ss there
was imported into this country 5,792 bales
Of Egyptian cotton; during the season of
1S94-95 it is estimated that the importations
of Egyptian cotton will amount to 1900
bales. From this fact and for other rea-
sons reports have recently obtained cur
rency to the effect that Egyptian cotton is
making serious inroads into the markets
hitherto controlled by the sea island cot
ton. To ascertain whether or not the re-
ports were correct, the New York Journal
of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin in
terviewed several cotton dealers and Off
GERS of the New York Cotton Exchange
The summary of opinions gathered from
them is that Egyptian cotton does not come
at all into direct competition with sea is
land cotton, and that it never will.
The Egyptian cotton comes in between the
long staple product of the sea Islands and
the short staple product of the uplands. 1t
has a long silky fiber ranging from one
and one-eighth to one and five-eighths
inches in lepgth. 1t is well adapted for
thread. fine yarn fine underwear and hos
iery. and also fabrics requiring a smooth
finish and high luster. But its quality Is not
so fine as that of the sea island cotton.
which very often poses as silk after manu-
facture, and is very largely used in cotton
warp silk. The opinion of Mr.. Freely, of
the New York Cotton Exchange is that the
market for sea islands is safe; that the
planters have virtually a monopoly, because
of the peculiar climatic and other condi-
tions absolutely requisite to the successful
production of that grade of cotton. The
importation of Egyptian cotton. he thinks,
is a benefit rather than detriment to the
cotton manufacturing and growing indus
tries in this country, because it develops
a profitable business which could not be
carried on with American cotton alone, be-
cause of the small proportions of the sea
| island crop and the unfitness of unmiXed
upland cotton. Egyptian cotton is often
mixed with American uplands, and some
times mixed with sea islands, but usually
| the latter only when the sea islands supply
Is not sufficient to the demand. A leading
member of the exchange expressed the
opinion that if the supply of sea islands
| could be greatly increased it would be a
good thing. There is always a good foreign
market for that grade of cotton, and it is
always taken by manufacturers of fine
goods in preference to the Egyptian. When
the sea island supply runs out the manu-
facturers are forced to turn to the Egyp-
tan. which is merely makeshift for and
not the competitor of the American pro-
duct.

Overwhelmingly against free silver COIN
age and in favor of a sound currency.
But the greatest surprise for the silver
ties is the outcome Of the contest in
Kentucky. The silverites felt absolutely
sure Of committing the Democratic party
Of that state to free silver. So sure
were they of accomplishing their pur-
pose that Senator Blackburn staked his
chances for returning to the United States
Senate on the silver issue. He made a
very thorough canvass of the state,
speaking in behalf of free silver coinage,
not only in the principal towns. but at
cross roads. He had everything pretty
much his own way for a time, and it
was announced that the sentiment Of the
democracy Of the state was overwhelm-
ingly in favor of free silver coinage But
Mr.. Carlisle made three speeches in the
state, telling the people the truth about
silver. and what was the result? Why,
a state convention was elected composed
largely of sound money delegates. So
overwhelming now is the sentiment in
Kentucky in favor of sound money that
there is not the remotest probability that
the platform the convention will adopt
Will contain a free silver coinage plank.
The change OF sentiment in Kentucky
has been so remarkable that it is now
said by leading democrats that Senator
Blackburn cannot be his own successor
in the Senate if Mr.. Carlisle will accept
the senatorship.
And it was Blackburn who declared that
he answered Mr.. Carlisle's anti-free silver
speeches. He didn't answer them in the
estimation of the people. He only made
himself ridiculous by attempting to an
swer them. They cannot be answered,
and Senator Blackburn went TO his DO.

the tide Of truth that began TO run with
extraordinary force as soon as Mr.. Car
Isle appeared in the campaign. A few
more such victories as that in Kentucky

The Dalton Argus, Editor A. H. Shaver,
is one of the soundest weekly papers in
the state, politically and financially-the
latter term including its views on the cur
rency question as well as its integrity at
the bank. In every issue it deals sledge
hammer blows to the ignorance and pref
udice which in a very great many in
stances constitute the basis of belief in
the cheap money chimera. Its insight
into the money question is clear, and it's
arguments in support OF its convictions
are frank, lucid, intelligent and con-
vincing. 1t is no wonder, therefore, that
the Argus is a power IN its section. Its
appeals are to reason, and thinking people
appreciate it. a few days ago the Argus
gave a dinner TO its out-of-town CORES
pondents, at which the editor presided
and several speeches were made. some of
them being on the right side of the money
question and none on the wrong side.
After the dinner and speeches the editor
and his aides, forty-odd in number
were photographed in groups, which
group pictures Editor Shaver designates
as "A Sound Money Squad in Whitfield
County,"

The kick in the British parliament
against Sir Julian Pauncefote's travelling
in the American steamer st. Louis and
booming the new American line. is quite
natural. The government at least pre-
sumably, pays the transportation charges
for Sir Julians trip. There sailed from
New York for England. on the same day
that the St. Louis sailed, British ocean
greyhound. She was as good boat prac-
tically as the st. Louis. and a faster
sailer. Sir Julian could have gone on her
as well as not. and his British money
would have been returned to
British pockets. 1t is pretty
safe to say that had an Amer
lean minister been situated similarly and
done as. Sir Julian did, he would have
been censured by the press and maybe
hauled over the Goals in speeches in
congress. While the people of this coun-
try are pleased that the British ambassa-
dor chose an American steamer in pref
erence to a British one, it is also a fact
that they admire patriotism.

Free Coinage and Protection.
From the Pittsburg Post Oem.).

that the only spot in the eastern states
in which the free coinage of silver finds
favor is what is called that "hotbed of
senators is an out-and-out silver man,
while those ardent high tariff leaders,
Wharton Barker, James Dobson, Prof.
are members of a free silver league, and
William ID Kelley was an original green
hacker" There is nothing extraordinary
in this; The same reasoning that advo-
Gates the use of the taxing power of the
government to protect pig iron is entirely
consistent in advocating the use of the
taxing power to protect silver.
