Oliver Wendell
says that if
a man truly loved a
woman he would
not marry her unless
he was absolutely
positive that he was
the very best man
in all the world that
she could marry.
According to this a
man would have to
be very conceited in
deed or remain a
bachelor.
This is going a lit
tie bit to extremes,
but in sober fact, no
man should marry
a woman SO long as
he is the victim of

has a right to ask a

THE DECENTRALIZATION OF
DEBT.


Here Is what Bro. Talmage says u
debt:
DEBT. There is no worse dcmoral
izcr Of character. The sad records Of
defaulting, embczzling and dishonest
failure which we meet with 50 con.
stantly in the daily press are often
deed most frequently the result OF
the decentralization OF debt. and con.
scqnently desperate efforts al cxtri.
cation. The financial props have
given way. The little debt, which at
ilrSt was as small as Il grain OF mus.
tard seed, like the rolling SNOWFALL,
has gathered weight and multiplied a
hundred fold. And still it grows. and
like the fabulous hydra. which Her.
cules was sent to kill, you no sooner
strike of n head than two shoot up
in It's place. The struggle is severe,
but the end is decisive; either cor.
fcssion is made Of hopeless bankrupt
cy. which might and should have been
avoided, or integrity is sacrificed to
the temptation OF the moment. Debt
ruins as many households and destroys
as many characters as rum: it is the
devils mortgage on the soul, and he
is always ready to forcclosc. Pay all
your bills. Look every man in the
face, conscious that you owe the world
no more than the world owes you. BE
indebted for nothing. but love, and
even that be sure you pay in kind, and
that payments are frequent.

OUR CONSTITUTION UPHELD.

States, in a decision just handed down

OF Mississippi. Justice McKenna

deciding that the constitution does
not. on it's face, discriminate against
the negro.
The question was carried before the
court in the case Of Williams. against
the State Of Mississippi. Williams, it
Will be remembered, was indicted for
murder by a grand jury composed OF
white persons, and tried and con.
vlctcd by a white petit jury and sen.
fenced to be hung. The judgement
was affirmed by the Mississippi Su-
preme Court.
The defendant set up the plea that
the constitution and law under which
JnricS were unconstitutional and re.
pugnant to the fourteenth amend
mcnt, from the fact that the State
constitution prescribes the Quali0ca-
tions OF electors, and to be a juror one
must be an elector. 'It is further M.
legged that the suffrage provisions of
the said constitution Disseminated
against the colored race; that it was
not submitted to the people for ratin.
cation, and that the representation of
the State in Congress had not been re-
duccd."
The court decided there was moth.
ing in the contention.

WAR TAXES.

The country is at war, and war
means not only fighting and killing,
but paving cash rs well. The pc lplc
are Hooking to the recruiting Offices to
do the fighting, and Congress Is mov-
ing to supply The money sinews.
Chairman Dinglcy, OF the House,
has introduced a war revenue measure
upon which taxes are distributed as
follows:
One dollar per barrel additional tax
on fcrmented liquors, estimated to
yield an increased revenue Of S35,.
OOO, 900.
Six cents per pound additional tax
on tobacco and on tobacco in stock
sl5, 900, 900.
A special tax Of $3.50 per annum on
dealers in tobacco and cigars, etc
5 1000, OCO.
An increase Of 81 per 1000 in the
tax on cigars and cigarettes - S.
600, 900.
A stamp tax on documents, Instru.
ments, checks, proprietary medicines,
ETC.. substantially as existed in 1866,
with certain additions-s3O, 900, 900.
A stamp tax on wines, mineral wa-
tiers and beverages sold in bottles
unestimated.
An increase in the tonnage tax on
vessels 10 the foreign trade 50, 0OO, 900.
In submitting the measure, which
is now under consideration in the
House, Mr.. Dingley properly asserts
that the new taxes which the commit.
tee suggests should be imposed arc
"all intcrnal-rcvenuc war taxes that
CAN be collected by the existing in.
ternal revenue officers, slightly in
creased, with Il small additional OK
pcnse, and with the minimum dis.
tnrbancc Of trade" The taxes are,
furthermore, ''either on articles Of
voluntary consumption or If objects
that will make such taxes fall mainly
on persons able to contribute tn the
national defense, which will in the
yield from 800. OOO. 900 to
800, 900, 900 of additional annual rcye.
