English Lodging House Keepers

The large hotels are rapidly running the
lodging houses in seaside and country re-
sorts. Great is the lsmentation of the
landladies, yet they have brought the evil
on themselves. Their rapacity and un-
bridled ipsolence have met with their own
reward. No sensible person now prefers the
comfortless antimscassar adorned rooms,
the dirty slavey, the smoky fires, the Ill
cooked food and the long list Of irritating
extras, eliminating in the charge for tho
cruet, so amusingly satiri2ed in one Of Mr.
Kendals plays, to the fixed prices, the
electric light and civil, efficient walters Of
the up to date hostelry, where disputes
over extras are almost entirely obviated,
and both short and long purses are agree
ably catered for.
The race of lodging house keepers Is q
hated race, yet the drift of modern progress
seems never to have influenced them.
Like George III, they have learned moth
ing and forgotten nothing. They still
pursue their unhallowed way, fleece, rob
and insult their helpless victims, who IL
perchance, like worms, they turn and re-
fuse to pay unwarrantable charges, find
themselves confronted with county court
summons Their victims are usually
timid single ladies, or helpless old widows,
who would sooner pay anything than ap-
pear in court of law. So the law unwit-
tingly supports nefarious practices and ex-
travagant claims The kitchen fire, which
burns more coal In week than country
mansion would in month. the charge fol
washing and boot cleaning and, worse, the
mulcting for lights, and the amount Of
provisions consumed, make a lodging
rather dearer than a first class hotel. Il
the large hotels have done nothing else,
they have at least raised the standard oi
comfort and dealt fatal blow to the racs
Of harpies which formerly preyed, unmo'
Tested, on the casual visitor and the IN
suspecting woman. n.--London Graphic.

The English Destroyers.

The Havock and Hornet are the first OF
a batch of AZ more OF less similar vessels
now rapidly approaching completion.
They all carry 12 FOUNDER quick firing
gun on the turtle back forward, the rest
Of, the armament being made up of from
three to five hotchkiss 3 Founders, the
larger 200 foot boats carrying five of these,
Speeds vary from 81 knots in the Hornet,
to 80 knots in the newest of these ships
though of course they cannot reach that
speed except in smooth water. Stall, as
bad weather affects a torpedo boat even
more than destroyer, they can reckon on
a. good five knot superiority over the best
of possible foes. AS regards their having
torun away from larger vessels, simple
calculation from the following table will
show about how long it would take them

Like their predecessors, the catchers OF
the Rattlesnake and Sharpshoober class,
Havocks and Hornets exist to defend big
ships from hostile torpedo boats. and In
these maneuyers the idea was to test ths
relative values of destroyers and catchsrs.
The catchers have been much abused ON
the ground of lack of speed, but it is qnas-
tionahle whether this is such q serious de-
feet In the matter Of torpedo boat hunting
as many critics aver. The mission of the
catchers is to lie off the torpedo boat shell
ters and sink the boats as they come out
Theif6omparatively slow speeds are dan.
gefous rather on the ground that 1t exposes
them to capture by a hostile cruiser. -

REMARKABLE IGNORANCE.

New York Financial Chronicle
In the case of a Colorado man, the
influence controlling him when he
advocates the same idea is not amat-
ter Of doubt; but he has his silver
mines, which he thinks are to be benc-
fted; he is mistaken, but he honestly
believes the value OF silver will be en-
hanced. With the inhabitants of a
Southern State no such excuse can be
given. A man from one of these
States explained his position in IFS
neighborhood this week by saying
that the object his people sought
through free coinage was more money.
Their merchants and business men.
lie said, could not get money even at
their banks, because the banks had
none to loan, and enterprise was con-
sequcntly at standstill. Such an
explanation coming from such Il
source is depressing, because it
shows such remarkable ignorance.
There is not a sound bank in the
South which could not to-day secure
all the money it wanted from our city
banks by getting any good paper it
holds discounted. Our banks are lit.
orally overtlowing with capital eager
for investment; all the South needs
to do to secure the loan Of the capital
in its enterprises is to establish Il
character for honesty and fair deal
ing. But instead of trying to build
up such reputation aud furnish evil
dencc of its good faith so as to make
the world believe it can be trusted,
the people are getting together in
State conventions, and one after an
other insthls public way telling capt
talists that if they send their gold
money down there the attempt will
be made to cheat them out Of one
half of every dollar if possible. Is it
strange that there should be dearth
Of capital seeking investment in COM
munities where such views are pro-
fessed?

work and had her waiting maids all
around her and was only I6 when |
married her. But she had the ma
tcrnal instinct, and for As years has
been happy in working for them.
Some folks call it Shaving, but If it
brings happiness what if it is slavery.
l don't see that she has pined away
and lost flesh, or become sad and
dropsy. There is not gray hair on
her classic head and hardly Il wrinkle
on her brow and she has cost me less
In doctors bills than any child we
have got. IT is wonderful what a
mother can endure and how far she
will go to nurse her children. A few
years ago she hurried off to Florida to
take care Of Il sick boy. and she staid
by him for three months in a little
room and saved his life. There is no
doubt about that. And right now
she is on the lookout for a telegram
from New York or Ohio or Mexico or
Florida, where the boys are scattered,
and II it comes she will want to take
the first train. What it will cost or
where the money will come from docs
not seem to concern her. "If Carl
gets down sick in Mexico l am going
to him." she said, with as much as
Surance as If every railroad belonged
to her. I'm telegraph Mr.. Raoul for
a pass" She says. "lIc persuaded
Carl to 60 there and he must take me
to Rhim il he gets very sick. Mrs.
Ra0ul will make him do it, know.
for she is mother and has Il boy out
there. Carts life is worth more than
all the railroads in the country" And
she puts on an autocratic and deter.
mined look that alarms me and all
can do is to pray the Lord that Carl
may not get sick.
He is the baby boy, you know, and
mothers always cling a little closer to
the last ore. So did Jacob to Benja-
min, and it is according to nature, |
reckon. He writes to her every week
and his letters are always bright and
cheerful andlOying. She files them
away in her stand drawer and ties
them up with tape, and every now
and then takes them out and read |
them again and takes comfort. Oh, if |
the boys would all write such letters
to their good Old mothers. What a
world Of comfort there is in them.
Carl's last letter tells us about his
getting day off, and he and twoI
Georgia friends went out Il hundred |
miles to shoot ducks and killed 1876 in
A day, mallards, teal, canvasbacks and |
spoonbills, and he says: "lf you want
to get rid of old Grover, send him out
here to shoot ducks and he will never
90 back any more, for it takes no boat. |
Ind no blinds and no decoys."

THE SAME OLD ISLANDER.
Memphis Sclmitar.

The silyerites show not a particle OF
originality In their campaign for rot
ten money. Like lawyers conscious of
the weakness Of their case, they sim
ply "abuse the witness" of the other
side, and for the rest alternate be-
tween bluff and whine. Defama-
tion OF the other fellow Is a ncver-fail-
ing part of the programme, and the
bluff comes in when an important
struggle is about to be decided.
Claim the earth,h is the order issued
from headquarters by Arkansas Jones
and that ilk. So, to hear their talk on
the eve Of fight, one would think it
was all ever but the shouting. When
the affair comes off and they are
licked, then the whine comes into
play. They are always cheated out of
their rights, poor things or else
bought up against their will by the
wicked gold-bugs.
We are not surprised, therefore, to
note the "holler' let out by Arkansas
Jones in regard to the victory for
sound money in Michigan. Jones de-
clares that Michigan is 0verwhclming-
ly for free silver, and that there was a
majority Of silver delegates elected to
the Democratic State Convention, but
the wicked Don Dickinson, with
Picrpont Morgan's money in every
pocket. swO0ped down on the innocent
silyeritcs and bought up enough Of 'em
to give the gold men control of the
convention.
There is an element Of utter absurd
ity about this claim that would pre-
vent its being made public if it were
not for the fact that the most uLin-
formed class of Democrats are in the
free 81 yer ranks, and the leaders of
that faction think they will swallow
anything that may be told them from
headquarters. Just why Pierpont
Morgan, a Republican of Republicans,
should think it worth his while to
bribc silycritc delegates to a Western
Democratic State Convention, is one
OF the things that no man of sense
will ever try to find out. OF course,
it is falSchOod, intended to pass cur
rent among the silverite contingent.
and, Of course, Jones knew it was false
when he told it-that is, ff he has been
correctly reported. Since this argen-
tine patriot, in conjunction with a
few other Democratic senators, was
reported to have been instrumental in
saving some millions of annual profits
to the Sugar Trust, he has been in a
position to lmpugn the integrity of
other public men. JtiS pretty safe to
say that Don Dickinson's character
will not suffer by comparison with
his.
But the most singular suggestion in
these charges of bribery and corrup-
tion is the low estimate that the sill
vcrite leaders place upon the integrity
of their followers. Manifestly the
could not buy up the silver
ties il the latter were not willing to
sell out, and in such eases the seller
considered just shade mean
er than the purchaser.
The rotten money campaign has
been from the first campaign of
bluster, false pretense and defamation,
and the conductors thereof have be-
come so used to SANDER that they can
not spare even their own people. It's
a nasty bird that befouls its own nest.
Why can't they fight like men, and
when defeated, take their medicine
like men?
