Wisdom From the Heather.


 A Chinaman writing to the Chica- go Tribune offers "a few short Con- fucian sugges tions for a good and great government of any great peo- pie. Here is his first one: Hold parents and guardians responsible for all acts of the young Reward them for bringing up meritorious sons and.daughters and punish them for the reverse. About right, isn { he? Our boasted civilization don't get ahead of that. s'rhen let none marry until they are morally and financially qualified. There's no question about the correctness of the first part of his proposition, and with proper interpretation of the financial qualification that is equally worthy of endorsement If the heathen philosopher does not mean that one should have a stipulated amount of money before marrying, but that he should be able to earn enough to clearly carry out the re- quirements of the proposed new state, his doctrine is strictly first class. "Giye no one a position of honor or trust until he can show a bona fide marriage certificate. '
 
 This looks little severe on it's face, but the idea underlying it is good one. Other things being equal, the man with home and. family is Il better type of citizen than his un- married fellow, and if the state has any emoluments to bestow the home-maker stould come in for the first share. Speaking of civil service he says that 'It should be- gin from the down, instead of among clerks and workmen." He is certainly right in this. What is the use of examining people as to fit ness who are to serve under those from whom no special qualifications are required2

THE COUNTY FARM.
A Prisoner From That Place Givss
 It a Hard Name.

The county farm, under the man. agement of o. NJ. Spellman, is given very hard name by al who have ever been sent there.
 A few days ago Jack Whitney, a white burglar from Louisiana, was sent 10 the farm on the charge Of bringing stolen goods into the State. Yesterday Sheriff Lyons, of Arcadia parish, La, paid his fine in order to take him back to Louisi ana, where he is to be tried for burg lary.
 Whitney was more than glad to go back. He said he would rather spend three years in the Louisiana penitentiary than a year on the Jefferson county convict farm. He said that while there he was not given water with which to bathe, and that prisoners were not given time in the morning to wash their faces but were hurried to the fields, just as soon as they could gulp down some poorly cooked food, and hardly enough of that 10 keep body and soul together.
 Whitney also said that the boy who was with him Patsy Ryan and who was sent to the farm on the charge of pedding without H. cense, was not guilty. Whitney claims that he met the boy on the road and gave him several of the knives to trade for food along the route, but Ryan had never seld or exchanged a single one of them, and that he (Ryam had nothing to do with stealing them.
 Mr. Toler, the Louisiana mer- chant whose store was burglariZed said this marning that Ryan was sent to the farm without cause or reason, and that if he had relatives or friends he could make t warm for the person who had sent hm tc the terrible prison where he now is
 The method of having the Grand Jnries investigate the condition ot the county farm is a farce, Tine lessee of the farm is always posted as to when the farm will be paid q visit by the Investigating board and he prepares himself accordingly. Some other means will have to be adopted if prisoners at that place are to be treated as human beings, even if they are criminals.

 "The cause of the failure. said As signee Starhuck, .'is simply that tho firm has been on the wrong side of the market They have been short on stocks and grain Starbuck is one of the bookkcepers oi the firm,
 He said: "It k difficult to tell what the liabilities are. but they will probably amount to Sl 100000. II is even more difficult, even at this time. to give an idea of the assets Whatever they are, they consist mainly of cash outstanding accounts and securities. There is some pros pect of resumption of business pro- vided n reasonable settlement can be made with the creditors.

While We would not like to see Mir. Gresham punished, we can not refrain from saying that some one should be made an object lesson of.

DARK AND DAMNABLE.
Are the Methods of Reina Barrios, Who Deelaed Himself Die
 tator of Guatemala.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 8 News just received from Guatemala is to the effect that the country is in q bad way, financially and politically. During the last month failures amounting to nearly S8 GOO, ,000 occurred, but this is . trine matter, because it represents Central Anne riean money, which is very much depreeiated in value Reina Barrios, who was President and who de- elared himself dictator of the Republic a couple of months ago, is excessively unpopular because Of his recent high-handed action and cruelties. There is demand that Prosper Morals, lawyer and former minister of war be chosen to suc- ceed Barrios. To prevent this Barrios intends calling a session of the assembly very soon to have him. self confirmed as dictator. If he succeeds war is almost certain, be- cause the coantry will no longer submit to h:s oppression If de, feated war is just as sure, because he cannot afford 10 be driven out of the country. President Barril- los, who made it possible for Barrios to succeed him, has declared he will never again draw his sword except ing to. fight Morales, who has threatened to expose his financial operations Barrios is alleged to have killed a number of the most prominent citizens of his country because he thought they were not in sympathy with him Besides these 243 men of lesser prominence are said to have been slain by his order.

NOT LEGAL.
For Schools to Go in Debt, Says Superintendent of Public
 Instruction.

DEP'r llDrcAroN,L LITTLE ROCK,
 ARK, September [, 1897. Prof Allen Winham, Texarkana,
 Arkansas
 DEAR slR:-In reply to yours of the 9th, in regard to the action of some of your colored directors in running their districts in debt, will say that there is no provision of law authorizing a board of directors to contract to spend money which is not already voted by their annual school meeting, or appropriated bv the State. Special school districts have assumed right to do this. but it is certainly illegal for the common school districts to do so.
 suggest to yon that you inform the directors, who have been doing this, that they are acting contrary to law and that it must be stopped, even if they are compelled to do with out a school for several years.
 Very truly yours,
