2. That we resent any effort or

Gas in the daily wear and tear
Of life great dealof the substance
Of mans body is used up, it is
absolutely necessary that the re-
pair to the body be. carefully and
Systematically looked after,'
writes Mrs. S. 7. Rorer, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. sThen,
too, man must create heat aud
force, according to the climate in
which he lives and the occupation
he follows. A wise combination
of food is, therefore, necessary to
keep the body in working order.
In cold weather, we need larger
amount of carbonaceous foods
fats, sugars and starches-than
we do in summer. In the hot
climates and during the hot
months, fruit and green eegeta-
bles, containing the salts necessary
to keep the blood in good condi-
ton, should be used freely. Ac-
cording to our method of living in
this country, we should take about
two parts Of repair food-such as
meat, eggs, milk, cheese, or, in
the vegetable kingdom, the old
peas, beans, and lentils-to three
parts of carbonaceous food-sucE
as white bread, potatoes, rice, but
ter, cream, and fats of all kinds
Then we must have a certain
amount of bulky or watery vege
tables-such as lettuce, spinach
cabbage, onions, and also th
fruits. In making out daily ia
ton, we should have at the begin
ming of the meal some light dis
that may be taken slowly, to pre-
pare the stomach tor the food tina
is to follow, then a meat or it
equivalent. With beef we shoul

Deserving the Farms.

The Montgomery Advertiser an

'Does farming pay?" and adds:
"Why, then, is it that life in

riosity, mingled with suggestion
of pity? There are a few young

Hawaii, the Land OF Lepers.

Private advices recently received
at San Francisco report that lep-
rosy is spreading with alarming
rapidlty in the Hawaiian Islands.
Formerly it was confined almost
entirely to the natives, but now
many of the whites are falling
victims to the appalling disease.
An old man named West, a lead
ing merchant of Honolulu, has
just been removed to the pest is
land, and his wife has died of a
broken heart over the heart-rend-
ing separation. A man named
George Breuns, an employe in the
Honolulu telephone office, has also
developed the disease and been
removed to the leper colony.
And this is the island country
the United States government has
definitely agreed to annex! With
the least homogeneous population
of any country on the face of the
earth, hardly half-civilized, en-
tirely unsympathetic with repub-
lican Institutions, and, to boot,
leporous! Such is Hawaii. And
because she has a few rich sugar
cane bottoms, a few fertile cattle
pastures, and a couple of harbors
for coaling stations we think it
desirable to make her a Territory
of the United States, with the pos
sibility of becoming q State and
| having two United States Sena.
tors. Hawaii's leper island, Mo
!, lokai, ought to be enough to for
bid the very thought of annexa
ton. The servant of the prophe:
of old, covetous of gifts that i
was not lawful for him to possess
was cursed with the anathem;

"The free silver heresy" is a
curious expression to apply to the
bimetallism established ,hMnature,
adopted and praeticed by all men
and nations from time whereof
the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary, aud proclaimed
as part of our political creed by
all our early apostles. A heresy
is a departure from the original
and traditional faith; an innova-
tion in doctrine, and q false and
evil sllbversion of the true and
good teachings and practices of
the canonieal fathers. The equal
ity of silver and gold as coin,
money and legal tender is recog-
nized and established by our po.
litical commandments, as embod.
led in our fundamental confession
of faith and guide of conduct, the
constitution of the United States
and from 1892 until 1873 this
equality between silver and gold
was unquestioned both being

limited coinage at the value anC
ratio fixed by law.-Norfolk Pilot

Jefferson Still Lives.


the University of Virginia.
Jefferson stated the wonderful |
principles of government when he
said that all men were created |
equal-not equal physically or III
tellectually-but equal whenever
government comes III contact with |
the people; whenever the law
touches them. If all men were
created equal, it follows as CON-
sequence that no government
should enable or permit one clti-
zen to injure another citizen. This
is applying to government what
Christ taught when lie said 'All
ye are brethren. We put rings in
the noses of hogs to prevent them
from destroying property. Gov
eminent must recognize that there
are human hogs and keep them
from destroying property. In our
best moments we are willing to
put rings in our noses to restrain
us from injuring others, and so in
making our laws it will not do to
leave man at the mercy of the law
which Injuries him.
Corporations are created for
the public good, and the people
should so control them as to pre-
vent them from violating the
power under which they exist.
There should be no corporation
greater than those who gave it life
Never before was it as important
as it is today to restrain men from
| injuring one another. In these
days, when corporate wealth is
banded together, you will find
special need of laws for protecting
j., the humber citizens. Jefferson
not only declared that all men
were created equal, but that they
were endowed with inalienable
p rights-rights which government
= does not give or take away.
Jefferson still lives. We love
;. him not whose body died, and dy
. ing sanctifed the soil of Monti

pher. When the names of militar,

still lisp the name of Jefferson

WHOLE NO. 1A27.
The Wool Tax.
Wilmington Messenger.

Aiic p1ot'lC lila pIciGlIt 70 pay
a great advance upon all cloth
ing, blankets, fannels into which T
wool enters. The tariff now be-
ing enacted is the most unequal,
burdensome and drastic instru-
ment ever adopted by any people,
not excepting the half civilized.
1t is measure of favoritism, of |
classes, of denominations. The
importation of wool for four years |
past showed an average of about |
15O, 100000 pounds. But in the
two months Of March and April |
last, the actual importation-in /
advance but expecting the Repub-
lican dragnet-was 1856, ,633, ,675
pounds. This is an excess Of A.
| 600, 900 pounds in two months
over the average importation for
each year. Why was it done?
To get in the wool at low rate
before the high tax set in. It is
expected that in May and June will
! aggregate 1OO,OOO,oOO additional.
What,,Will be the. effect? VIII it
be of greatshenefit to the govern!
ment that levies the outrageous,
most unreasonable tax? Tlis IS
hardly possible. The Jackson
vile .Times-Union draws this con-
clusion:
"The government will get no
revenue from raw wool during the
next year-none worth consider
ing during the next two years.
"The wool-growers will get no
, protection during the next year
r none worth considering during
r the next two years.
"The people will have to pay
Y largely increased prices for wooler
l goods because the highest tariff
9 ever known will go in force OF
f woolen goods.
: "The manufacturers will reap
) rich harvest. They have alread,
h purchased their supplies of WOO
l. in free trade market. They vii
I manufacture their goods and sci
ss them in a market protected b.
% prohibitive duties.
IL "And yet the manufacturer
10 will not.get the full benefit Of tn
IF high duties on woolen goods. In
IS porters are also taking time by til
A. forelock. The imports of woole
goods into this country in Marc
Ie ana April, 1897, amounted
it $13, 1876, ,0SO, against $6, ,843, 992
m March and April, 1896, and Ma
Ks and June will show similar il
IL crease. This will still further L
T. duce the duties that the presel
~ tariff was expected to yield"
en You will observe from this SUI
ny mary how bad legislation fails
ay benefit either the people who te
or the government that shou
,er bless. It only confers benefit {
er the greedy, exacting, insatia
ot class-the omniverous manufao
