Revenue Better Than Sonds.

The passage of a bill calculated to
increase Federal Revenue would do
toward strengthening the credit
of the United States and removing the
troubles that arise from mistrust OF
its financial health than the sale of Il
hundred millions of bonds. There
has been a jubilee among the old
Cuckoo crowd because the month OF
December showed evenu sufficient TO
meet expenses, but the month Of Jan
uary promises Il deficit amounting TO
somewhere from eight to ten millions.
AS 1t is the government cannot hon
estly be said to be on d paying basis.
While its credit Is good enough to
borrow, its business does not stand
tor permanent %selvency. Even if it
were to make both ends meet, the bare
ability to scrape through is not
enough for an enormous concern like
the United States Government. Its
revenue, its legitimate commercial in
come, not its borrowing account, must
be sufficient not only to guarantee its
~soundness, but to forbid all appre-
hension of its embarrassment. A tariff
bill to produce that condition of
affairs would be better than a gov
ernment announcement of a thousand
millions loan instead of a one of a
hundred millions.
OF the DIngley bill the emily reve-
nue. bill now before Congress. there

regular tax theory, but upon the
special Democratic principle that the

ARRANGED FOR HIS FUNERAL.
Chicago Man Selects His Casket and
Then Commits suicide

AICh olSl0c
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 26.-After Civ
ing to an undertaken explicit direc-
tlons for his own funeral, VIM. Fl
Pearson went to the residence of his
cousin, Mrs. James Bell, All Evans
avenue, and committed suicide. Pear
son was a telegraph operator of ma
tional reputation. His friends as
cribe his act to grief over the death of
his wife, last November. He was AZ
years old. Pearson had for several
weeks been considering plans for bis
death. Once before he had tried
to commit suicide by turning on the
gas in his room, but he was found be-
fore the fumes had produced uncon-
consciousness.
Last Tuesday night he swallowed
five grains of morphine, and when
this agent of death failed, he attached
a rubber hose to the gas jet in his
room, and, with the other end in his
mouth, lay down to die. Before end
ing his life, however, he called at
Ralston's undertaking establishment
in Hyde Park and told the man in
charge what kind of a casket he want
ed to be buried in. He left several
letters, among them one to his mother
and another to the Coroner.

ed TO HeQuce the Acreage.
MEMPHIS, TENN, February 90
Reports from several counties in the
Yazoo Delta and counties in the Miss
issippi Valley are to the effect that
preparations for planting are being
hampered by a scarcity of labor.
Within the past sixty days there has
been a large exodus Of negroes from
the cotton lands of Mississippi. For
the first time in six years the colered
lsborer of the South finds himself the
possessor of Some surplus money, and
he can End no better method to DEM
onstrate his independence than by re-
moving his habitation, and the result
is that hundreds of families have left
the plantations IN Mississippi. A ma
jority of these have removed to Ar
kansas, from whence they came about
three years ago, having been driven
away on account of overflows, which
inundated millions of acres. Arkan-
sas, however, for the past two years
has escaped the disastrous effects OF
the foods, and this year many of the
negroes who left that State have re-
turned. On one plantation alone in
the valley, south of Memphis, John
W. Eldridge lost ffty-three families,
and hewas recently in Memphis trying
to secure labor. Unless immigrants
can be secured, he, together with many
other planters in the valley, will be
compelled to curtail acreage. Four
days ago thirty negroes from Arkan-
sss and other points passed through
Memphis for Savannah, Ga, where
they were to take a steame bound for
Liberia.

To Give an Exhibition of Manual Training
Work, June 2 and s--New Machine shop
Being Fitted Up.
An exhibition of, manual training
work in all the departments of the
Boardmap schoolwill be given on Tues
day and Wednesday, June and 3, at
the school building on Broadway at the
corner of York square.
The articles exhibited win include
workmanship from the wood shops and
wood carving, forging, clay modelling,
dressmaking, cooking and chemistry.
The school has accommodations for
five hundred pupils, but there are now
about one hundred and thirty pupils in
the school,
The first graduation of the school will
take place in June of next year, when
a class of about sixty members will
graduate.
A machine shop is being fitted up for
use and will be in readiness by Sep
TENDER. There are lathes, planers
shapers, besides tools of many kinds to
be provided, and, in fact, mill-equip-
ped machine shop is to be fitted up for
the pupils of the third year The shaft
ing and benches are now being placed
in position. Power for the plant is to
be furnished by the little steam engine
at the school. All the boys will receive
instruction in this department.
The school gives an unquestionably
fine manual training and already TWEEN
ty boys who have taken two years in
struction at the school have secured
positions, which, without their training
received there, they could not have OBJ
tanned
One of the high school departments
will probably be sent to Boardman's
in order to relieve the crowded condi-
ton of the high school.
