Disappointed and He Kicked.

The We@on Mirror does not think the interest of the state would have beer
suhserved by permitting our patriotic governor to have had his way. tsys
Gov. McIaurins veto Of the capital bill lis as disappointing to his friends as
to the friends of the measure. The full text OF his message does little to take
the keen edge off this disappointment His efforts to show that the bill was not
consttutionally passed must be judged by the facts If it be true that a proper
reading of the bill was not had Immediately before its final passage a fatal OBJ
lection results But II is claimed that such reading was had, as shown by the
nothing but weakness The whole merit Of the governors position is his support
of the politician in the executive oAca.
He wants the commissioners appointed by the gsvsaps aAa struggles
through a long argument to show that they will be officers and therefore cannot
under the constitution, be named by the Legislature But If his argument proves
anything: it shows clearly that they will be regarded by the courts as employees
of the Legislature, appointed for a specific duty, aud having no power that will
continue beyond the time required for the performance Of such duty. This
the governor with no peg on which to hang bis claim that he must appoint. In
view of his kas~S partially for strictly political methods it may well be doubted
the state could gain by letting him appoint the commissioners As now con-
stituted it is a business commission. Few tax payers will wish to sec it changed
to a board of political benchmen.

He Was Dragged.

Doubtless you know the man / mean, for
he is a well-known character about town.
and won't tell you his name, but he is
what is politely termed periodical dpso-
maniac. About orce in so often he disap-
pears for a fortnight or so, and finally
brings up in one of the hospitals. where
the physicians tend him till he is able to be
out again. The last time he was in the
hospital one of his friends called to see
him and was invited by him to take a
drink.
Why, have you anything to drink?'
asked the friend in surprise. The dipso-
maniac produced a well-filled bottle.
They give me whisky to drink when
first come here" he explained, land l don't
drink it all. l put it away and save it,"
He poured out a small drink and the
friend, who is the most temperate of men,
drank ii. Presently he bade the sick man
goodbye, and went away. The hospital
corridor seemed remarkably warm and as
tonishing long. The corridor was so hot
the corridor was so long, and so uneven
as to floor that the man was quite ex-
haGsted when he reached the hospital door
1t was a pleasant afternoon and he sat
down on the steps to rest a moment He
felt just a trifie drowsy. When he came
to himself again the stars were blinking
above him and midnight was not far off
The dipsomaniac's whisky had been care
fully drugged by the physician in charge
and the temperate friend had missed an
important business engagement in conse-
quenco.

THE QUEBEC BUTCHER.
How Thomas Nulty Slew His Four
Sisters with an Az.

MONTREAL, Que, Nov. 7-Thomas Null
~ aged twenty-one years. brother and con-
fessed murderer of the victims of the Raw
don tragedy, was taken to Toilette Jail to-
day. Tom and the two older sisters had
frequently quarreled and it appears that on
Thursday he had row with the eldest girl,
Elizabeth Words had been succeeded by
oaths and blows, until Tom drove his sister
out of the house. Then, according to the
confession of the crime made by him, he
followed her to the barn, threatening to
murder her. The second sister, Annie, arm
ing herself with an AK, followed Tom, re-
solved to protect her sister from violence,
even if she had to use the ak. Tom turned
sharply around, and before she was aware
he came suddenly upon her. A brief strug-
gle for the weapon was followed by Tom
wrestling the ak from her and striking saw
agely at her neck. His Woodman's skill
did not fail him. The keen weapon was
buried in her neck and she fell dead Just
as the Mortified Elizabeth ran up to see
what had happened.
AS Elizabeth turned to flee the murderer
remembered her as the first cause of his
crime and resolved to carry out his original
impulse of revenge He chased the Shrek
ing girl to the barn and struck her also with
the ak, telling her as he had done poor
Annie. Tom then returned to the house and
forced open the door. which the two other
children had barricaded, and killed them as
he had the others.

RAGS MADE INTO CLOTHING.
They Are Assorted with Care and

New York Commercial Advertiser
The passing of the ragman from New
York streets is the result of municipal legis-
lation. Ten years ago the rag gatherer, with
hook and bag, was familiar sight and
his shrill cry of Rags! Old iron! Bottles!
disturbed the peace of quiet neighborhoods.
The rag picker seemed blessed with a spe-
cial dispensation of voice. and closed doors

wooden rags for thirty-five years says that

Few persons have any conception of the
extent to which the wooden rag business
has grown It's history dates back many
years, and it is everywhere an industry of
large proportions. One of the principal
uses of wooden rags Is In the manufacture

Virtues of the Humble MOke Have
Been Sadly Overlooked.

New Orleans PicaYun

To be called an ass is a great compliment.
Humility, patience, charity and industry
have been recognized as great virtues ever
since mankind has been retrospective; but
the world has failed to notice that the ass,
which is the brunt of the jests of all ma
tions, possesses these qualities more fully
than any other animal or any human being
except the proverbial one in a million.
Often we call the man whom we like "a
rare old dog" and he rather likes 1t. If we
called him a rare old ass, which is finer
praise. he would get mad however. We
write poems In praise of the horse, though
the horse is in so many respects the ass s

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t was
never intended for medicine, and people
who use 1t as such will some day regret it,
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or SOUP stomach, habit
which thousands of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dan
ger; moreover the soda only gives tempo
rary relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanioal irritant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the SAT-
est and surest cure for sour stomach (acid
dyspepsia) an excellent preparation sold
by druggists under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are
large twenty grains lozenges very pleas
ant to taste and contain the natural acids,
peptones and digestive elements essential
to good digestion and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly, and
promptly before II has time to ferment,
sour and poison the blood and nervous sys-
tenn.
DR.. Wuerth states that he Invariably
uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for stomach,
but by promptly digesting the food they
create a healthy appetite, increase flesh
and strengthen the action of the heart
and liver. They are not a cathartic, hut
intended only for stomach diseases and
weaknesses and will be found reliable in
any stomach trouble, except cancer of the
stomach
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at 50 cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed

STRIKE OF CLOAKMAKERs.
Secret Meetings Held to Organize
the Workers For a Battle.

New York, June 6.-The United Broth
erhood of Cloakmakers had a busy time
to-day Secret meetings were held in
assembly rooms scattered through the
east side to organize the 1900 cloakmak-
ers in New York and it's vicinity, pre-
liminary to a strike.
Secretary Braff of the organization said
to-day that there are now 5000 enrolled
members in the union, and that in less
than week, he expects all will be en-
rolled. There are about 1900 organized
women, who will be affected if the strike
goes into effect on schedule time.
"A few weeks ago. said Mr. Braff,
there were only 500 cloakmakers organic
ed. Now there are 5000. After the great
lockout of 1889, the trade was organized
in week or two, and the cloakmakers
were able to command better conditions.
They began to earn SIS weekly, but pros
perity made them careless and they were
drifting back"

as to who are Migrants, and the law
says; The punishment shall be, upon
conviction, fined. Imprisonment, or SEN
fenced to work on the public works or
roads for not longer than year"
All evils and nuisances are prevented or
arrested by enforcing law. Indifference
to law is but holding out a premium for
men to break or disregard law. Educa-
. ton amount to nothing either in a white
man or negro, unless there is character
back of that education to make him
useful and good citizen. Character is
everything in man, for it is the compass
within him which points to the right way
and keeps him in it. Without character,
if educated, he is made an accomplished
scoundrel or villain, for the ability to do
evil has been enlarged and polished.
There has got to be a radical change in
dealing with the negro in the next ten
years or less. The two races, so diamet-
rically opposed to each other, cannot live
together, and like the Indian, the country
viii be too small for the two races to live
together in peace or contenment.
Liberia is to be the future home of the
American negro, and the sooner proper
steps are taken looking to his transporta-
ton and to his comfort when sent over,
the better for all parties interested. But
while the negro is among US, let us see
to it that he shall not be nuisance or a
vagrant. When the farmers of the coun-
try are calling for laborers in the corn,
rice and cotton fields Put the vagrant
law in his hands, telling him, being fore
warned he is foreamed, and may know
what to expect if seen strolling or wander
ing about the streets or country. Tell
him emphatically this is a white mans
government, and the voice of the white
man is potential in enforcing the laws.
The white man argued with the Indian
with a gun in his hand, but he will argue
with the negro with the law in his hand.

lNHALING INSECTS.
Not Careless But Needless Thing
to DO-HOvv 10 Avoid 1t.

Hundreds of poisonous insects called
germs are being drawn into the body
with every breath. These small creatures
at once begin to live upon the body and
cause what is known as disease They
must be driven out. How much better it
is though to kill these poisonous germs as
soon as they come. And yet there is
only one thing viii do this, and that is a
pure stimulant, preferably whiskey.
Prof. Austin Flint, of Bellevue College,
says: The judicious use of alcoholic
stimulants is one of the striking charac-
teristics of progress in the practice of
medicine during the last half century"
Prof. Henry Mott, Phi. D., f c s., says:
BY most careful analysis l have found
Duffy's pure malt whiskey free from
authorizations or foreign substances, and it
deserves to meet with great success"
The wei-known DR.. r. w. Hutchinson,
of New York, says; Il highly recommend
Duffy's pure malt whiskey and prescribe
it extensively in my practice"
Rev. B. Mills of Princeton. Iowa, says:
Il have used Duffy's pure malt whiskey
with great benefit to my wife, who is a
confirmed invalid l know from experience
1t is a pure and most valuable medicine. l
am also using 1t in the case of my son, who
is threatened with consumption. l am a
Presbyterian clergyman and a doctor Of
divinity. but 1 am not afraid to recon-
mend Duffy's malt whiskey as the purest
and most efficient tonic that 1 know Of,
and my experience is large one"
