Thousands fail of this because they have
neglected to look after their health in
womanly way. The health of woman's
babies is dependent upon her own health
during the period of prospective maternity.
The prospective mother cannot be too par
ticular about her physical condition. If
she suffers from local weakness, nervous
ness or loss of vigor and virility, her chill
drcn will be weak, puny and sickly. Or.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription IS the only
unfailiug cure for all weakness and disease
of the delicate and important organs that
bear the brunt of maternity. 1t makes these
organs strong, healthy, vigorous, virile and

it's perils. II insures a baby constitution

The Poll Tax Question.

A great many papers are urging
the people to pay their one dollar
poll tax before December 3lst, in
order to be able to vote in 1900.
Article 1913 of the democratic con-
stitution declares that in order to
vote, every person between the
ages of sixty and twenty three lat
the time Of the eection) must
have paid poll tax two Years
preceding and that the payment
must have been made before the
31st of December on each of these
two years. This same article pro-
vides that this provision shall not
90 into effect until after the gene
raj election in 1900.
Hence it is certain that the pay
ment of a poll tax does not apply
to the general state election of
April 1900 and it is questionable
whether it applies to the presiden-
tial or congressional election of
that year. But as our readers all
pay their poll tax anyhow, why
not pay it before December 31st
and leave no doubt of the right to
vote! Remember that every man
who has any property assessed to
him will be made to pay the poll
tax. Those who have no proper
ty need not pay it and the sheriff
has no right to enforce it's pay
ment. This poll tax is really a
voluntary contribution to the pub
lie schools and is the price which
each voter must pay to obtain the
right of suffrage. This will have
the effect of still further reducing
the number Of voters in this State
and it is certain that New Orleans
and the little towns will hereafter
control all elections. The compli-
Gated and misleading methods of
registering and voting conceived
and concoted by the democrats will
concentrate all power in the hands
of few cliques and rings. Still
we advise and urge all our readers
to come forward and pay your
poll tax during the present month.
1t is the safest and wisest course
to pursue. The money thus paid
must be used exclusively for the
benefit of public schools. Monroe
Bulletin.

Railroads for the People.

Last year the profits Of the Prus-
sian State railways paid the entire
interest on the National debt and
left surplus Of S5,0O0,000.
The people of the United States
pay one set Of taxes TO the rail-
road companies and another set to
the government, on account of the
public debt. The people of Prus-
sla pay one set to the government,
which settles their transportation
bills and their interest ON bonds at
the same time.
We pay over q thousand million
dollars a year to the railroads. It
costs US half as much, in normal
times, to run our whole govern
mel1t. Il we were as enterprising
as the Germans, observation-disclosures
we are accustomed to ridicule. we
should find way to make the rail-
road earnings count on the credit
instead of the debit side of the
popular ledger. IN. Y. Journal.

NEWTON, La, Dec. Il, 1898.

Mr.. Editor II have read d
good many articles about diyersi-
flying crops and growing less cot
ton to increase the price of cotton,
this looks reasonable, but [ see no
way to induce farmers to diversity
their crops, unless they could find
something to produce that could
be marketed pro6tably at equal or
less expense than could be grown
and marketed by other sections,
Should all farmers raise more
corn, potatoes and other products
except cotton, they could not dis
pose of such at any price, and no
farmer would care to live on pota-
toes and bread the balance of
his days. My idea is to reduce
cost of production of cotton by
removing all expensive AMI useless
obstacles in the way of the farmer
III producing his only money crop,
and at the same time, lessen his
expenses for raising potatoes, corn,
etc, sufficient for his use. The
first and greatest expense to the
farmer is making and maintain
ing horse-high, bull-strong and
pig-tight fences. The keeping up
the pig-tight fence is the most ex-
pensive and least important, and
should be dispensed with, and the
pigs kept in confinement, then the
farmer would diversity his crop to
the extent of raising food to pro-
duce his meat. Experience has
taught him that raising food for
pigs under pig-tight fences is a
failure, and the food given to pigs
raised on the common is thrown
away, as nine times ont of ten, he
looses the pig, consequently there
is no use diversifying crops to the
extent of raising meat from pro-
duce grown under such expensive
fencing.

it, and add 3 peck of salt dlssolv-

and boiled to q thin paste, one
half pound powdered Spanish whit

perts, Of peau de sole, of blue and
opalescent tones, brocaded in

gown is princess. The skirt has a
demi- train, and opens in front
over a tablier Of Gobelin blue sat
in, embroidered in pearls. Jabots
OF msrquise lace outline the tab
lier. Marquise lace over blue sat
in forms the foundation of the
high-necked bodice, the peau de
sole, outlined with pearls, being
appliqued over it. The vest is of
Gobelin blue satin, embroidered
with pearls IN necklace design.
Jabots of lace from the shoulder
to the waist join the jabots Of lace
on the skirt, and add to the prin-
cess effect. The sleeves are of
peau de sole, finished at the hand
with marquise lace. The high
stock collar is made of satin, and
is finished at the back with tall
points.

The arrival Of the first baby in the

when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into

danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.

The millionaire ia Sight.

A hundred years ago George
y ashington was the richest man
in America. He WAS supposed to
be worth something less than mil
lion dollars. The American mil
lionaire was just visible on the
horizon. As the twentieth centu-
ry approaches the coming billion
aire is plainly in view.
1t is said that Mr.. John d.
Rockefeller is trying to gain con-
troll Of the entire copper mining
industry of the United States.
Not that he has any particular af-
lection for copper, but he has to
find some investment for the in
come whose swelling accommodations
threaten to drown him in a food
of gold. Mr.. Rockefeller's reve-
nue. from his Standard Oil hold
ings alone is 9,060,0O0 a year, or
5000 day, or $1,000 an hour,
and that is only one of his sources
of income, In addition he has
heavy if not controlling interests
in the Sugar, Tobacco, Steel and
Cotton Oil Trusts, in several rail
roads and iron mines of the North
west he owns whole fleet of lake
steamers, and he has agents con-
tinually on the watch for new in
vestments.
All this suggests the interesting
question: How long will it be be-
fore Mr.. Rockefeller owns the
United States?
The thing appears to be a SIM
pie matter of arithmetic. Practi-
calIy all of Mr.. RockefeIIer's in
come is available for investment;
the proportion devoted to living
expenses is imperceptible. In ten
years his Standard Oil dividends
alone will amount to over $50, 000,-
900, allowing nothing for COM
pounding, and that is only one
item.
In 1870 the STANDARD Oil Com
pany Organized with q capitaliza-
ton of 100000. At that time
Mr.. Rockefeller may have been
worth S250,000. Probably he is
now worth at least $250, 600, 900.
In other words his wealth has in
creased thousand fold IN twenty
eight years.
In 1870 the total wealth of the
United States was estimated at
$50, 06S,519,507. In 1880 it was
S43, Ga, 900, 900, in 1890 S65, 037,-
091, 1877, and at the present time it
is probably about SIS, 100000. In
other words, while Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's wealth has been increasing a
thousand fold, that of the country
at large has increased about two
and a half times. In 1870 Mr..
Rockefeller owned less than the
Que hundred thousandth part Of
the national wealth; in 1898 be
owns one three hundredth part of
it. At the same rate of progress
he or his estate will own it all in
about twenty-fver years.
Of course that will not happen.
Something will be done to prevent
it, but we owe Mr.. Rockefeller
thanks for making the course of
present economic tendencies so
clear. N. Y. Journal.
