WITH THE SOUTHERN EDITORS.

Is it not wonderful how the chivalrous
old planters are hated by some people?
But envy is characteristic OF little souls,
and il is the test Indication in the world
that the cuviOuS fellow feels his inferiOrity
i'll comparison with those lie tUaduCes. All
the Slauder which tie editor OF the Spring
field Republican can fling at tie old
Southern gentleman in Il lifetime cannot
dctract from his worth, his nobility Of char
aCter hiSiunate Kindness, and the chivalrOus
bearing which the boor cannot understand
is as maHifestly consistent with gentility
as rudcHess is with NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There are twenty-five parishes in Lou
iSiaBa which have IN them q majority OF
white voters OF 40, 9,4T2, or rather of white
males over tweuty-one years of age. In
stead OF carrying these parishes by 49,4T2
majority, as the Democracy ought to have
done, and rs it did in the old fight against
the Republicans, it has actually lost them
by 5,347. Twenty of these white parishes
went Republican and only five Democratic,

voters are three white TO one colored.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

When at the close of the Franco German
war France had to pay an indemnity of five
millions of francs, the small farmers and
artisans got out their stockings and bags
and in an incredibly short time the
enormous SUM was paid, and the country
had only its people as its creditors. 1t
was their savings of years that lifted that
war incubus from off the nations shoulders,
and 1T is these savings which today make
the people of France one Of the most
prosperous i'll the world Anything that
will stimulate the earners of small in
comes to save, and at the same time
furnish them with a safe place of deposit
where their little capital will earn for
them a modest but certain dividend, is
desirab BILE accession to popular institu-
tlons.
Chief among these agencies stands the
Postal Savings Bank. The people trust
their government, and are only too glad to
make it their fiscal agent and investor
of their savings. This is no sentimental
assertion, but a statement based upon the
experience of every country where the
postal savings bank has been instituted. In
England hundreds-of millions OF dollars are
held by these banks, and so far from in
juring the business OF other savings banks
they have stimulated it. Once in the habit

OUR BOYS AND DISCIPLINE.

Considera bic prominence hasreeeatly been
given in the Boston pubic prints TO the
discussion of military drill in the public
school This feature of the school curricu-
Ium has become of vast Importance during
the past fe w years, and now there isScarceiy
a city in the country but has its cadet
corps OF young boys recruited from the
public schools. The boysl like it for it is made
a popular feature for them by the intro
duction OF such attractions as a period of
camp life, the interest of competitive drills
and through the personal pride in the braid
and buttons OF the snowy uniform.
The opponents of military drill in the
schools say that il is breeding Il generation
of warIike men. This is about all they
have to say on their side of the case
ana it is doubtful if the argument is not as
good pro as con. The millennium is not yet
at hand and the peace Congress didn't meet
the foreign affairs committees, so it is Just

Theinfluence upon cha ara ctcr and physique

a penchant for dress parade inspires a

the value of the former is educated in
no mean way.
If we need not and have not a genera
ton of warriors. at least we want and
must have men. The development of the

Military drill has solved this in great
part. Boys who will not be driven into

DECLINE OF WORLDS FAIRS.

Are mercantile and Industrial exposi-
tons waning in popular favor? For a
period of thirty years preceding the Co.
mmbian Exposition the aboriginal county
fair worked by easy stage into State, Sec
tonal, interstate, national, international,
and worlds expositions The Worlds Fair
ton.
An industrial exhibition has recently been
opened at Berlin, but makes no stir. The
Atlanta exposition was a financial dis
appointment. Nothing is heard of the fair
planned to celebrate in Paris the birth of
the next century. 1t used to be that New
Orleans, St Louis, and Chicago mustered
support for an annual exposition, but they
cannot any longer
The experience of cities and territories,
where the big shows have been held has
always been unfortunate The crowds
and unbidden guests are a personal nuis-
ance to the residents, and the temporary
artificial boom brings a sad and depress-
ing aftermath. The drain ON the adjacent
territory is so strong during a short
period that for months after the normal
current of commerce is clogged.
The worlds eXposftions are too big.
A return would be welcome to the do
nlestic fraternity of the county fair, which
brought together neiyhbors in Il friendly
competition of the farm and household
arts and presented an opportunity for
mild but d1verting attractions on the side.

QUITE THE RIGHT THING.

Emineutly proper in every way Is the
amendment proposed by the Commission
ers TO the act establishing the Firemen's
Relief Fund. 1t is in the line of making
provision for those really entitled to as
siStance and excluding those who might
regard the fund as a convenient means to
insure them life of idleness after very
brief period of service. The benefits. ac-
cording to tie proposed amendment, are
TO be extended only TO those members OF
the department who may iucur death or
disability while in the line OF duty or
while going to or returning from a fire,
Or where either is the result or effect Of
fifteen years continuous service. Under
the law, as it now stands. a man having
served but six months, or even less, may
claim a pension on account OF disability
contracted in the service.
The monthly deduction Of one dollar from
each mans pay will not yield a very large
sum each year, but yet it will be some
thing toward creating. in due course Of
time, fund that will make the men or
their families safe against want in the
event of q casualty. At the same time it
would seem proper that Congress should
make modest appropriation annually to
put this fund in such condition as to
make it sufficient not only for the most
urgent necessarieS of life of those that
are to be benefited by it, but to permit
them to live in comparative comfort. The
same reasons which determine the grant
ing of a peusion TO a soldier vino be-
comes disabled while in the line Of duty.
or to his family in case of his death, would
seem to hold good in the case Of fire
man. The Iatter's bravery in action is
no less heroic than that OF the former.

MERCHANT sEAMEN,s RELIEF.
senator Frye Submits Favora BILE Re
mort on the pronpsad Measura

In the Senate today Mr.. Frye submitted
report on the bill which has for its
purpose the ameliOration Of the coudi-
tion OF American merchant seamen, and
is designed as substitute for twenty
one bills pending in Congress.
The report says that while many OF the
complaints of seanen are exa ggeratef, still
there is sufficient grounds to warrant i'm
provements ia the laws and bring them
into conformity To the progressive Iegis-
laiion OF other maritime nations. The bill
changes existing laws by establishing the
principle that the iBfIiction of the penalty
of imprisonment shall be wholly in the
discrei ion OF the courts and that federal
judges, not the statutes themselves. shall
determine the necessity for SO severe a
penalty. while it makes the smaller fines
and forfetures in most cases obligatory.

Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1896-09-11

The STAR stated week before last
that when this water franchise was
wanted by private corporation two
years ago, we favored giving it to the
city, to which the Herald replied:
"We were a reader of the STAR at that
time and have no recollection of that
paper ever having courage enough to
stand between the fire of s'two fac
tions."
Don't eh! Have you such thing as
memory anyway? Here is something
from the STAR of Oct. a, 1892, that may
help refresh your memory:
"Of course the city can put in it's
own system. There can be no ques-
tion about it now, since it has been
even Slightly investigated. Perhaps it
cannot go as far this year as many
would like, but it can go as far as it's
financial condition will now permit, and
then further next year, aud more each
year until we have all that the people
desire. Doubtless the city can do as
much this year rs any of the anxious
seekers for the franchise will. If the
city can put in the franchise there can
certainly be no reasonable argument
against it's doing so, and therefore with
favorable report from the committee,
we have every reason to hope and be-
that the franchise shall remain with
the city, and we shall own our own
water works-and be happy"
If the Herald wants few columns
of matter along that same line of argu.
ment, our files of 1892 will supply it.

How Ants Kim /. Snake.

That ants can actually kill snakes is
hard thing to believe. There is ire
futable evidence, however, that they do,
and scientists have discovered that the
snake has hardly more dangerous ene-
my. The large red brown forest ant is
the sort that is the most fatal to snakes,
and curious thing about the attack Of
these tiny creatures on this comparative
~ enormous reptile is that they kill it
for food and not on account OF any nat
ural antipathy.
When some Of the ants catch sight Of
snake, they arouse the whole commu.
nifty Mt once. In platoons and battalions
the little fellows set upon the reptile,
striking their nippers into its body and
eyes at thousands of points at once.
With such rapid movement and such
splendid concentration is the attack
made that the snake has no chance at all
of escaping. 1t is like thousand cleo
trio needles piercing him at once. The
snake soon becomes exhausted, and dies
ignominiously.
Then the ants set harder at work.
They begin to tear off the flesh in
small pieces, gradually stripping away
the skin and working underneath. Not
until they have carried off everything
except the bones and the skin itself do
they retire. Pearson Weekly.

Many republican papers in our state
are Offering low prices for their paper
in club with the Inter-O Ocean until
election. These offers are taken as
evidence of enterprise on the part of
the local papers, but when the money
source is known the enterprise fades
and the political Specification appears.
The republican state central committee
puts up the cash that purchases the
metropolitan papers.-Herald.
It's easy to understand how the Her
aid editor would come to the above
conclusion, since he has just short
time ago ceased to offer the Inter Ocean
himself as premium. The state GEN.
trail committee has arranged for send
ing certain number of Inter Oceans
to voters and is placing them through
the county central committees. The
STAR editor happens to be secretary of
the county central committee here and
the other day sent in a few names on a
postal card addressed to the chairman
of the state central committee, with
the request that those parties should
also have the paper. The STAR had
nothing to do with them. They were
sent on a postal card, remember. The
Herald editor is postmaster. See?

The Famous Old willow Ware.

You may know a plate of old willow
ware by this decoration: On the right
there is mandarin's country seat. In
the foreground there should be pa
vilion, in the background an orange tree
and to the right peach tree. The place
is inclosed by fence, and through the
estate there should wander brook, and
in this brook there is an island high at
the left side with a cottage on it. Over
the brook there is a bridge, and on it
there should be three figures. The will
low tree, the famous willow tree, is at
one end and q gardeners cottage at the
other. Two birds are high in the air
above the picture. The whole is sup
posed to tell the romance Of the man
darin's daughter, who is one of the fig
ures on the bridge. The others are her
lover and the mandarin himself. The
birds are turtle doves into which the
lovers were changed by the gods that
they might escape to wrath of father
mandarin, who pursued them.-New

"Dear STAR-You forget to request
your patrons to call at the Postoti1ce
for their papers this week. Herald.
Thank you. That was an oversight,
Ever since Grover clevelan's hired man
got charge of that postoftice we have
felt a little leary about some things,
and one of them was over the distribu-
tion of the STARS. We nearly always
place this paper in the postoffice on
Thursday evening SO that it will be dis
tributed before the arrival of the east
ern mail on Friday morning, but it
now seems to be necessary to make re-
quest in each issue that our subscrib.
ers insist upon the postmaster giving
them their paper. At least upon two
or three occasions-and especially if
the STAR had "scoop" on the Herald
the STAR has been held back until
after the eastern mail was distributed
and called for by city patrons-held
back particularly until the Herald
might get in alongside the STAR. So
that we are thankful to our e. c. for
reminding us to request our patrons
to insist upon being given all their
mail.
