THE wHIRLWIND.

The ex-Sheriff has been selling land
for taxes. This was not his fault
1t was duty that he was bound to
perform or pay the taxes himself,
which, of course, he could not be ex-
pected to da.
As we understand the present law,
the owners of property sold for taxes
will have to pay the purchasers a
profit of twenty per cent. in order to
redeem it and if it is not redeemed
viii hin one year from date of sale the
purchaser secures q clear title.
This law offers such an inviting
field for spectators that it is said
one Or more companies have been

without The Picture.

During 'Stonewalrs" brilliant
campaign in the Shenandoah valley
it became necessary that bridge
over small creek should be built in
great haste. One evening Jackson
sent for his old pioneer captain,
Myers by name, and pointed out to
him the urgency of the occasion, say
ing that ne would send him the plan
OF his colonel of engineers as soon as
it was done. Next morning jackson
rode down to Captain Myers quar-
tiers, and saluting the veteran, said ::
Captain, did you get the plan of the
bridge from Colonel -?' "WelI,"
said the captain, 1.-The bridge, gem
eral, is built, but | don't know
whether the picture is done or not"

Delude the People.
Atlanta Constitution
The dispatch of our Washington
correspondent, printed elsewhere,
throws d food Of light on the dilem- !
una in which the Republicans find
themselves with respect to the cur |
rency question. The Republican
platform. it will be remembered, does
not pledge the party to currency re-
form. The only change it proposes
is the abolition of the gold standard
by means of International bime6al-
iism. Ca other questions of cur
rency reform it is silent
This fact compels the Republican
party in congress to defend the pres
ent currency system by refusing to
take measures to reform if. Though
the system is condemned by both
people and bankers yet the Republi
cans cannot afford to place them
selves behind any scheme of reform.
They dare not make even an effort to
concentrate on any position. They
are afraid to indorse the PROPOSE
ton to retire the greenbacks; they
cannot take stand in favor of the
, restoration of silver, and SO they are
compelled to assume an attitude
which makes their party the cham
piOns of the present system, which
| erybo1y condemns as utterly in
adequate.
The inherent weakness of the Re-
publican position is further en-
phasized by their effort to evade re-
| aponsibility. They dare not bring
| the question to an issue in congress,
and SO they intend to hide behind the
| proposition to form a currency COM
mission. The currency commits
| sion" plan is fraud and sham in
conception and purpose. 1t is moth
ing more than a plan to delude the
| people while the gold syndicate which
controls the Republican leaders
| greases the skids for the fiGal slide to
the gold standard.
standard, coupled with the effects of
the Forthcoming Dingley law, will
find the people in no mood to be
trified with. Currency commissions
and International commissions will
cut a small figure in the verdict they
will pronounce against the Republi-
cans next year. They will condemn
the Mckinley party on the broad
ground of general incompetency.
Elected to restore prosperity, every
scheme put forward by that party
has been for the purpose of robbing
or deceiving the people. Every plan
OF reform it has proposed has led to
harder times, lower prices and lower
wages.

No one denies that the morning
hour at this time of the year is far
preferable to the evening hour. 1t is
very difficult sleeping on these
bright May mornings. Between the
rays of the rising sun, the melody of
the song birds and the click of the
hammer in the hands of neighbors
who have temporarily adopted the
carpenters trade, there is no rest for
the weary. The morning hours be
tween five and seven are too soul
inspiring and nerve strengthening to
be lost.

The natural fighter should have
no trouble in finding opportunities
to-exercise his pugnacious DISPOSE
ton. In almost any direction he
may look he will discover a war in
progress. There is one in Cuba, one
in Honduras, one in Brazil, one in
Uruguay, one in Europe, one in
PHILIPPINES, and one in Upper Egypt.
All these, in addition to the chances
which he will find on almost any day
to mix in a broil in his own neigh
borhood. Fighting is one of the in
dustries which rarely ever suffers a
vacation.

Things Bows ought to Know.

That brain crammed only with
facts is MOI necessarily a wise one.
That quiet voice, courtesy and
kind acts are as essential TO the part
in the world of a gentleman as of
gentlewoman.
That the best capital for a boy is
not money, but the love of work,
simple tastes, and a heart loyal to
his friends and his God.
That roughness, clustering and
even foolhardiness are not manliness.
The most firm and courageous men
have usually been the most gentle.

Women and the Schools.

Baltimore sun.
There seems to be good deal to
be said in favor of the appointment
of women trustees. A large proper
ton of the pnblic school teachers of
the State are women, and many of
the matters to be dealt with concern
girls and their welfare, which women
are most competent to deal with.
The mother. too, is the child's first
teacher, and in the primary schools,
at least, she doubtless takes the
most lively interest.

1t seems that King George is in the
