He Exnects to Work.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., was married
the other day, against the will of his
father. 1t is understood that it win cost
him his Inheritance. All sorts of rumors
were afioat just before the marriage, with
regard to the attitude of Mr.. Vanderbilt,
ST. In order that his personal friends
might know the exact truth, one of them
approached young Mr.. Vanderbilt and
asked him for a statement. He gave 1t
candidly, saying he proposed to get mar
ried to the woman of his choice whether
his father liked 1t or not. IF my father
disinherits me-" said he. 81 will not be
the first Vanderbilt who started out in
the world without anything have an
education, and. possibly. a fair amount
of intelligence. If I cannot make my own
way in the world. 1t is time that I found
it out. The matter of dollars and cents
makes not the slightest difference to me.
I shall do the best can to support my
wife and myself. She is willing to share
my lot with me. even if it is my fortune
to start out poor man"
These were bold. plucl1y words. They
would seem to indicate that young Mr.
Vanderbilt is the kind of man to wrest
a living from the unwilling world; that
he is possessed OF self-confdence equal to
almost any emergency, and is ready to
start out in the world for himself and
prove that he is a true scion of his house,
able to barricade the doors of his dom
icile with gold Of his own winning against
the coming of the wolf.
1t must have been gratifying to the
young woman of his choice to hear such
a declaration from him. For wealth IS
not all there is in life, and in the bottom
Of every true woman's heart is the desire
that she shall be loved for herself, and
that her husband shall be a man worthy
of her purest affections. In commercial
marriages-matches in which money is
the consideration-it is seldom possible
that there can be mutual admiration and
respect between the contracting parties.
But in the case under consideration, what
must have been Miss Wilson's gratiAca-
ton at the knowledge that her afianced
would sacrifice millions for love of her;
and what must have been Mr.. Wander
bits satisfaction upon learning that She
was perfectly willing to share his lot.
even though he sacrificed the millions
and became a poor man."
1t is not in the least likely, however.
that Mr.. Vanderbilt Will become a poor
man." In the ordinary acceptance of the
term, or that he will have to so to work.
as the average of men do. He may NOT
be able to live in as fine a house as some
of the other members of his
family, or to support such ele-

The Prune as a Rerormer.

Papa, potatoes, poultry. prunes and
prism. all very good words for the lips
especially prunes and prism" Charles
Dickens set the pace for the humorists,
in making filings at the prune Mark
Twain includes the prune and boarding
house keeper joke among the thirteen
original jokes from which he says all
Others spring. Yet we have it upon the
authority of a Chicago physician that
the prune is no joke. On the other hand,
he ahlrms that it Is a powerful agent
for the uplifting of mankind, a soporific
to the evil passions that are inherent in
human nature. While the physician was
in attendance upon a reformatory he mo-
ticed that the boys behaved themselves
much better whom upon a diet of prunes
than at any other time and proceeded
to test a theory that was suggested by
the observation. When a boy was partic-
ularly obstreperous the doctor would or
der him locked up and fed upon prunes.
was usually sufficient to make the boy as
docile and obedient as could be wished.
The Doctors conclusion was that some
thing in the juices of the prunes pene-
trated to the center Of the seats of the
badness land caused a certain disinte-
grafton. or. perhaps. anaemia in those
organs, which. diminishing their activity,
decreased their output of deviltry"
The Importance Of this discovery can
not be estimated. 1t may explain why it
is that the boarding house keeper feeds
prunes to her boarders Heretofore it has
been the idea that she made prunes a sta
pie of tho table because they were cheap,
and so filling" 1t may be that the
influence of the prune upon the moral
side of mans nature, and has been feed

pose of making him a creature of docility,
humility and promptness on pay day

Machine Politics.

Mr. So born Wright. the populist nomi-
nee for governor. waxed eloquent in his
denuncfatIon Of ring politics and machine
politicians IN his address before the pop
ulist convention accepting the guberna-
toriaI nomination. We have no doubt OF
Mr.. Wrights sincerity. but what he said
showed him to be an altogether impract-
cal man. The great majority Of people
take profound pleasure in hearing polit-
ical rings and machine politics denounced,
and even the machine politicians applaud
utterances Of that sort. Ring methods and
machine politics are a blight upon any
community or state upon which they get
a firm hold. but how are we to get rid Of
such methods and politics? We don't get
rid Of them by turning out one set Of pol
iticians and putting in another. BY
changing officials 1t doesn't follow that
We are going to get better officials. If old
officials are replaced by new ones it is quite
certain that the new ones viii resort to
machine methods to keep themselves in.
Such has always been the case and viii
continue to be until the people are edu-
Gated to a higher plane than they now
occupy.
It is said that Mr.. Wright has always de-
nounced trading politicians. Suppose he
has. He doesn't give any guarantee that
if his party should get into power its
members wouldn't use machine methods
to keep themselves in. There are salts
factory evidences that they would use just
such methods. The evidences are so strong
that Senator Jones. chairman of the ma
tional democratic committee. was moved
the other day to say some pretty hard
things about the spoils-getting tendencies
of the southern populists.
II Mr.. Wright's party should get control
Of affairs in this state we should probably
have a chance to witness more machine
politics than ever before seen in Georgia.
Why. then, should Mr.. Wright talk so
much about purity in politics and lead
the people to believe that If the populists
were intrusted with power there would
be an end of ring politics and machine
methods? He must know that the party
out of power is never tired of promising
to purify politics if given a chance to do
so, and that when it is given the chance
it does not improve 1t. but follows in the
footsteps Of its predecessors.
The populists of this state used to be
democrats. and If such things as they con-
denim were done they ought not to be
strangers to them. What reason is there
for believing they are better than they
used to be. In fact. what reason is there
for thinking they are as good? They
didn't leave the democratic party because
they wanted to build up purer party. 1t
is question if their party is as pure as
the one they left. No, If Mr.. Wright can
offer no better argument why the demo-
cratic party should be defeated than that
It wants to put an end to political rings
and machine methods in politics, there
isn't much danger Of its being defeated.

From the Catholic Mirror andl

Gen. Sherman in his memoirs gives the
reason why he would not accept a NOM
ination for the Presidency. He said that,
as his wife and children were Catholics,
in the event of his nomination he knew
their religion would be discussed in every
bar-room, and he would not subject them
TO such degra ding criticism. Blgotry has
kept many a good man from Presidential
honors. Rev. Father Phelan, editor of the
Western Watchman, says, Bryan is not
a bigot. He has been the idol of the Cath
olics of Nebra ska for the past eight years.
He twice carried his district against ire
mendous republican odds, because the
Catholic republicans voted for him. He is
a friend Of Ireland and a champion of re-
ligious freedom and on that score our peo-
pie can safely give him their cordial SUD
port"

How d'yss' said the scientist, falling in
and catching step with the reporter after
the manner of most methodical and calcu-

firm belief that what the English lang

him."
The reporter stuck out his leg.
I've noticed that on myself as we'll -
he said. 1T is due, / presume, to the
colder air making the material dry and

You are quite right" assented the
scientist in a tone of admiration and sur

more than the scientist had ever suspect
And did 1t ever occur to you,' he con-

Nothing further than that man has to

quite true" he said but there is a
greater meaning than this, a widespread
one. Let us suppose, for instance, that
there are in Washington 10000 pairs OF
trousers in use and in stock"
Call it 100000 on that count" inter-
rupted the reporter.
Very well-there are, let us say 100000
pairs of trousers in Washington, each pair
of which shrinks, in such change of
weather as We have had, three-quarters
of an inch in each leg, or an inch and
a half a pair. That Will make a total
