Before trying to dispose of the farm,
pick up things a little and put the farm
in its best dress. A slack, run, down
place is a poor seller. A lot Of thrifty
young fruit trees will help secure your
price. A few dollars in paint, white
wash, lumber and nails will prove q
good investment.

TALES OF THE DAY.
The Tired MANS Answer.

Cincinnati Enquirer: He swung aboard
a Walnut Hill night car at Fifth street.
and was evidently angry at having had "a
long wait, for he complained in audible
tones about tired men having TO stand
on street corners. When he stepped in
side and saw every seat taken a disap-
pointed look came over his face, and he
grabbed for a strap with a deep g-owl.
Luck was coming his way however, for
at Eighth street. q man near the door
got out and the tired man sank into his
place with a sigh of relief. The car gnen
proceeded to the opposite side of the
STeei- and stopped TO take on a man
and a woman. The passengers looked up
curiously at seeing q couple III rull dress
climb aboard. A pale blue Silk dress.
low cut and with short sleeves, adorned
the woman, and her escort was got up in
Immaculate dress toys. The man was
very. gallant and looked about for a SEAT
for the woman ever trying to get some
ladies to silt closer and make room. When
this failed he approached the tired man
who had got on at Fifth street, and asked
him if he would have any objection to
giving up his seat. The other looked up
in arnazemert, and said in, a decided way
that he did object. The man then said:
Il think it is very mean of you TO allow
a lady to stand in a car"
Quick as flash the tired man burst out:
L think it's d-n mean of you to make
her ride in a street car in that dress.
Roars of laughter from the passengers
followed. The couple alighted at the next
street and the tired man once more sank
into repoSe.

Franz Ferdinand, heir-apparent to the
throne of Austria Hungary, to a mid
dle-class" lady from Kolnische, and if
it turns out to be true, considerable
pressure will doubtless be exercised to
induce him to disentangle himself from
this alliance after the fashion which
has heretofore been set in such matters
by princely personages. Such mar
riages may be made not to count when
royalty sees fit to ignore them. Kings
and queens SO seldom have the chance
to indulge in love matches that it is to
be hoped that this may prove to be a
legal union of genuine attachment, and
that the archduke may have the cour-
age to stand by the woman he has
chosen. If he does so, he will show
himself every inch man; if not, a
conventional princeling Cupid is no
respecter of persons, and differences in
rank and worldly circumstances can
not defect his keen arrows or disturb
his wonderful aim.

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION.

The executive committee of the In
dianapolis conference having appointed
monetary commission, consisting of
eleven mem bers, makes it almost Ger
tain that the financial question Will be
the first and most important one that
congress will deal with when it re-
assemblies in December, for it is to be
presumed that this commission viii
have formulated such a bill as will deal
adequately, in its opinion, with the
currency question. No matter how
pare may be in itself, it VIII hardly be
likely to receive congressional approval.
Congress will be almost certain to re-
sent the commissions suggestions as
an intrusion, if not an impertinence.
Then congress can take no intelligent
action on the currency question until
the result of the labors of the Woleott
commission are known How can the
Indianapolis commission frame any
satisfactory measure until what will be
the definite attitude of the administra-
ton towards the silver question is pos
itively known?
It is hardly probable that the Indian
apolis commission will give the cur
rency question more thorough or closer
study and attention than did the house
committee ON banking and currency
in 1894, when it made a report to the
Fifty third congress.
1t is safe to say that the administra-
ton cannot control the course of chr
rency legislation as it did that of tariff
legislation when congress once starts
in on it,

EMANCIPATION DAY.

Today the Afro-Americaa citizens of
this city will celebrate Emancipation
day. While it is the most important
Of all days in the history Of the colored
race in this country, it is scarcely le1s
important in the history of the coun-
try. When Abraham Lincoln issued
his proclamation declaring the slaves
free he introduced a great problem into
American politics, a. problem that was
tae necessary consequence of the war
for the Union. There was introduced
into the electorate body of voters uaat
had had no opportunity to know about
politics or anything else. save to work
as beasts of burden. They were UNI
fitted for the elective franchise, but
through no fault of their own. In the
tYinkling of an eye they were given the
power of the ballot and it was not to
be expected that they would always use
it wisely, and especially at first. But
if they have often failed in this SO
have their white brothers; and if they
have been a corrupt element in politics
they were made SO by corrupt white
men who should have striven to aid
them in making a proper use of their
newly bestowed power. Their sins can
be said to be those of ignorance rather
than of anything else.
Since their emancipation the Afro
Americans have had entirely too much
politics and not enough social and in
dustrial education. They should turn
their attention TO their Industrial and
educational emancipation, for without
this there can be no real freedom.
Booker Washington and such men as
he are doing more for the real welfare
of the Afro-American than all the pol
iticians in the land, no matter what
friendship for them they may profess.
The advance of the race in the thirty
four years since the emancipation proc
lamation was issued has been remark
able and gives good hope for the fu-
ture.
Today there will be parade and an
interesting programme has been ar
ranged such as BELTS the occasion; and
this is proper, for the day is one in
which all citizens have deep interest.

WHICH TRUSTS THE PEopLEp

The Tribune says that it trusts the
people but that The Herald doss rr,.;

ticket. The Tribune favors nominal ing
a municipal ticket by a few gentlemen
from whose deliberations the public is
rigidly excluded The Herald favors
nominating municipal ticket by
convention Of several hundred citizens
who have been chosen by the people for
tihat purpose. Which Shows that 1T
trusts the people, the Tribune or The
Herald?
The Tribune says that The Herald
has seen good men defeated by s1avy
rascals-it must be so in all pa-tte,l;n
contests. 1t is necessary, too, anI stare
and national affairs, but in the Ioiobery
which prevails in the cities, the best
men of all parties have decided in a

would DO did they require clerks for

sery in state and national affairs that
SORRY rascaRs defeat good men? Our
own o-indEn is THAT is isn't necessary
that sorry rascals defeat good men in
municipal, state or national affairs.
Our contemporary further says: We
VIII suppose that in the coming eleouen

that The result of the elecalen

might be ON? It Is TO avcld al tl.lf,
TO take from every officer elected the

of argument, that a non-9 partisan city
government would bring about that
state of affairs which our contemporary
says it would, what is the reason that
those citizens who are said to favor a
non-partisan ticket were not consulted
in tine manning of DIT, instead OF small
committee, who had not been asked by
the citizens favoring NON Dar;Gsanrsm,

nervous symptoms which these ailments

accomplished by the use of Hostetter S

preferable to unpalatable and indigest-
