reform on the Intervention of govern
nent; forgetting that present condi-
tons exist with and in large part are
caused by governments, and that it is
impossible to eliminate the human fac
tor from them. Unless, indeed. that
ideal government can be established
permanently, the despotic, absolute
personal rule of some great broad
minded, wise, just and humane despot
the human being as he averages, with
all his weakness, his cowardice. his
selfishness, his compatibility, will be
the motive power of any government.
theoretically, before the law, in
republic, all men are equal Practical
ly, before the law, they are as unequal
as they are by birth Some of the
qualities that differ men serve to rob
all of equality in the law and in the
government. The sharp, keen, schen-
ing, plausible and INSCRIPTIONS man
soon learns the immense value of gov
ernmental aid in advancing his for
tunes. If he can get control of its
power to tax, there are millions in if.
Ii he can get it to finance his scheme,
success is assured. If he can persuade
1t that there is public utility in sub
sldlzing his enterprise, his fortune is
made The bait is constantly before
this class of adventurous men to gain
influence with the governing power.
The mass of men are engaged in their
vacations, having enough TO do in them
to make ends meet and having no
taste for intrigue. The result is that
some men make all men unequal be-
fore the law by gaining privileges de-
MED to all Under a republic this is
especially the case, as our own abund-
antly attests today
There is no possible way to stop
this rush for the hog-trough except by
reducing government to it's simplest
terms; by making it little more than
stalWart policeman, keeping the
peace between striving men and insur-
ing to each an unmolested right to
the pursuit of life, liberty and happi-
ness" with whatever ability he may
have been endowed. Where use of the
supreme power is denied to all, each
must depend on self; selfishness is
checked, the humanities are promoted
instead of being weed-smothered a
fertile cause of discomfort is removed
and a prolific source of corruption
swept away. This is democracy in the
wide and true sense of the word; and
to such democracy this nation must
come if it is to survive.

HUSBANDS AND WIVES.

Two or three months ago the North
American Review contained an inter-
national symposium entitled "A Study
in Wives" TO which Grant Allen, Max
O'Rell Prof. Boyesen and Karl Blind
contributed respectively articles upon
the ideal or typical wives of England,
France. Scandinavia and Germany.
With the exception of Blind, whose
study was wrapped in a Teutonic
fog, these celebrated gentlemen We're
definite as we'll as interesting, and in
their pictures described not a woman
who might be, but some women who
had actually been; not the unattain-
able, but the attained.

view contains a Study in Husbands

the contributors are Marion Harland,
Mrs. Burton Harrison and Elizabeth

articles are merely studies in ideals.

For Weak Men With Nervous Debility
This Is Certainly the Chance Of
Lifetime.

Weak men suffering from nervous
debility, weakened powers and ex
hausted vigor, can now take new
hope. Here is something which will
powerfully interest them. 1t is a fact
that until now sufferers have been de-
barred from seeking a cure by the
great specialists in these complaints
owing to the cost of travel to the large
city and the high fees charged by these
eminent physicians.
Here, therefore, is chance for weak
men in our community which should
not be lost. DR.. Greene, of 35 West
14th Street, New York CITY, who has
the largest practice in the world, and
who is without doubt the most sue
cessful specialist in curing this class of
disease offers to give free consultation
by mail to all weakened. vigorless and
nerve exhausted men. You have the
privilege of consulting DR.. Greene by
letter describing your complaint and
he will, after carefully considering
your condition, send you letter fully
explaining all your symptoms, telling
you everything about your complaint
SO plainly that you will understand
exactly what ails you. He will also
give you his advice, based npon his
vast experience and wonderful success
in treating and curing such cases, as to
just what to do to get cured. All
this will cost you nothing aud you can
thus have consultation with the best
known physician and acknowledged
most successful specialist in the world,
without leaving home and at no ex
pense whatever. The doctor is the
discoverer of that greatest of medi
cines, DR.. Greenes Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and he has discovered
many other most valuable special
remedies. Write to him now, for this
is the chance of lifetime to get cured
which you may never have again.

Tom Jkanrum and the Collector.

GOIn 5tIAnum ana the COLLECTOR.
The death Of Tom Hannum, one time
well known habitue of the press gal
leries Oh both sides of the capitol, was
sincerely deplored among old time MEM
bers yesterday, and some amusing anec-
dotes were told Of the popular newspa-
per man by his friends in the course Of
the day. One Of the best is worth re-
peating.
Hannum was in the habit of taking
late breakfast at the Press club every
morning. On one occasion, while he was
vigorously discussing a hearty repast Of
ham and eggs, bill collector suddenly
walked up to Hannum's side and laid
his account before him. Hannum looked
at the bill and then at the collector and
in deliberate tone began:
"You blamed fool, can't you observe
the amenities Of ordinary civilized soci-
ETY.? Don't you know that mans club
is Like his home, and that you are in
danger of being summarily elected for
coming in here without card of men,
bership and without being introduced?
The rules Of this club require you, if you
have business with member, to wait in
the lobby outside until waiter takes in
your card and ascertains whether the
gentleman with whom you have bust
ness is present. Now, you go oat into
the lobby. take this bill with you and
comply with the rules of this club. :"
The collector apologized for the in
fraction of the rules of the Press club,
which, to tell the truth, were never en-
forced on anything. and waited until
the steward camo to ascertain his wishes.

For several days Mrs. jeff Mapp, a
middleaged lady, of Forsythe, Ga,
has been very ill, and on Thursday
Feb. 18th, she was supposed to have
expired. To all appearances life was
entirely extinct. and the lady was pre-
pared for burial. a number of friends
sat up with the corpse during the
night, and the funeral was announced
to take place the next day. All the
necessary arrangements were made,
and at the appointed hour large
number of neighbors were present to
attend the obsequies. The casket did
not arrive until short time before
the funeral was to take place. While
being placed in the casket the body
was seen to move. In another instant
those around Mrs. Mapp were startled
to see her open her eyes. The surprise
and excitement occasioned by this
singular occurrence were intense. The
casket was hastily carried from the
room and physician summoned The
awe stricken friends quickly dispersed
Mrs. Mapp. though very ill, is still
alive, and there are indications of her
recovery.
