from any other public position. The
man who is thus honored should be
free from the obligations made in pol

the United States judges are selected.
II the law could be changed so that
Judges would be elected for life,
many an able lawyer, now enjoying a
good practice would accept the posi-

gauntlet every six years, it deters
man with a good practice from con-

CatchuD For Life.

When was boy, they spelled it
"catsup," but "catchup' will do for
this story. The article is made of toma-
toes over in New Jersey, and has an
enormous sale. a dear old lady in Con-
necticut heard Of it, and, having rep
utation in the neighborhood for making
catchup, determined to try it. a bottle
was purchased in the village, and on
the following morning Aunt Jenlima
started for New Jersey. Arriving at the
factory, she called for the proprietor, in
formed him that his catchup was, if
anything, little better than hers, and
as she didn't propose to be outdone at
home, she wanted his recipe. Itwas the
first time she had ever heard Of q catch
up being better than hers. The proprie-
tor said, smiling ct her innocence, My
dear madam, cannot give you my
recipe, but if you will leave your name
and address I will see that you get as
many bottles Of catohup every season as
you may want oil the rest of your life. !"
She returned home only half satisfied,
but the first installment Of a dozen quart
bottles eased her troubled spirit.

Naval Experience.

Unhappily for naval science-happily
for all other interests-eXrerience dur
ing the 20 years Of the life CT n4cGern
warships has been ra-c ard !nc02cl as:ve
The effect is that the opinion Of naval
architects and naval officers is left halt
ing between experiment and experience.
And the very iufrequency Of actual
fighting at sea during period in which
the navies of the world have been COM
p,etely transformed is liable to lead to
a one sided or vastly exaggerated esti-
mate of the historical data at our dis
posal. There is a tendency to exalt the
weapon which has proved its efficiency
most lately into the one ponderable
factor beside which ali others may be
neglected.
The school of experiment needs correc-
tion, but the school Of experience often
lacks balance. It is apt to forget that
the experience which it generalizes IS
always fragmentary and often irrele-
want. Thus, after the American civil
war, with its Merrimac ard its Monl-
tor, armor became the one thing need
ful. After LISA, because TesethoT hap
pered to sink the Re d'Italia, the ram
was to be the deciding factor in all fu-
ture combats The engagements on the
Danube and Black sea coast IN 1877 and
1878 brought about a similar apotheosis
of the torpedo. And the China-Japa-
uese war is likely to SOW as confident a
conviction that the navy which has
quick firing artillery and high speed
has every necessary element Of force to
secure an impregnable supremacy

Noise and tho Death Rate.

It is of course impossible to state ez-
actly what part noise IL New York city
plays in the death rate and the sick
list, but every physician knows 1t must
be considerable Often the physician
in his daily rounds finds it necessary
to prescribe perfect quiet" III order
that the Pickering spark Of life re-
manning in the patient may be brought
back to a healthy fame, yet in nine
cases out of ten that perfect quiet he
deems so important cannot be had
owing to the noise from the street. Es-
pecially is this true in warm weather,
when windows must be kept open.
The makers of unnecessary noise III
New York are not confined to any one
class All are more or less guilty, from
the church people to the organ grinder
and the street peddler. Any one who
studies this subject and observes care
fully will be astonishcd and dlsgusted
at the reckless disregard Of each for the
health, peace and comfort Of all others.
If you should go for walk IN Fifth
avenue ON fine afternoon and all sorts
and conditions of people were to begin
to assault you with switches, you would
call the police. They would be prompt

What for? They have not killed you or
manned you or drawn any blood, and
you are apparently none the worse for
these assaults. What they have cone IS
to irritate the nerve examinations of one
of your five senses-viz., that Of touch,
or the tactic sense, and through the
nerves Of this sense they have made you

exactly the treatment you do receive

Solution OF the Negro Question.

It has recently been announced that
the negroes Of the south are turning
from land tenure to wage earning. Not
on the plantations. The movement is
from the plantations to the mines and
still more to the towns. One million
negroes are already in the towns of the
south above 1000 in population, and
this, it is predicted, is the first long step
on the way to the cities of the north.
A vast urban proletariat is about to be
created. The black belt is to be vacated.
The black emigrant will pass out, and
TIE white immigrant will come in.
This through no compulsion. The black
tenant farmer is failure. He seeks to
better his condition. He is capable only
OF mere muscle work. The mines want
him, and still more the cities want
him; hence, the north wants him, for in
the north are the great cities. Tie line
Of least resistance for the colored man
lies away from tie plantations, partly
for social, but mainly for economic rea-
sons.
Thus by a voluntary and economic
displacement and diffusion of the negro
the race problem Of the south will be
solved, and new agricultural black
belt will be secured. No new race prob
lem will be given to the north, because
in no one place is the negro likely to
reach dominant percentage. The negro
in anything under y per cent diffusion
will create nc race difficulty. Moreover,
the negro is best leveled up industrially
aud otherwise when he has the maxi
mum Of contact with the white mans
higher standards. So this change is
best, not only for the south, but for tie
negro and for the entire country, and
the only thing required is "laisscz

The Atlantic City Light.

The Philadelphia Record says: "The
light at Atlantic City, which sheds its
warning rays at least 10 miles seaward,
burns 1900 gallons Of oil every year.
Five wicks are kept burning constantly
in the lamp, none of which is less than
6 inches in diameter. The wicks, like
everything in the lighthouses, are Of
French design, as the French lead the
world in such matters, particularly as
regards lenses. The steamer Armeria is
kept busy nearly the entire year supply
ing lighthouses with their needs, begin
ming in the south in the winter and

There are many other lighthouses along
the coast of the first order, like the one
at Atlantic City, which is known to
mariners as Absecom light. "

The use of hollow staftins instead Of

the principle, Of course, not being new,
but mechanical difficulties presenting
themselves in certain applications. For
instance, a pulley is sometimes fastened
to shaft By means of bit Of metal
called key wedgei in between the
two, q slight recess or seat being cut in
the shaft and the inner surface Of the
wheel to receive it, and thus, so long as
the shaft is solid, the key can be driven
inward, without special care. II, low
ever, the shaft were hollow, it might
spring slightly under the pressure and
its shape be to that degree distorted.

Now that the Legislature is in ses-
sion, the people will be kept on the
tiptoe of expectation as to what will
be done to decrease the tax levy.
They are more interested right now
in obtaining relief from heavy taxa
ton than they are in any other matter
that might come up for discussion.
We fear that our lawmakers will at
tempt to do something with the dis
pensary, and should they do so, it will
mean prolonged session and piling
up of expenses. 1t takes about one
thousand dollars a day to run the
Legislature and at the present prices
of cotton and scarcity of money gen
orally, the people are in no mood to
have any more expense charged up to
them than is actually necessary.
The dispensary law is awaiting ju-
dicial action, and in our opinion it
would be waste OF time TO bring the
matter up in the present session of
the Legislature. It would be the
wiser plan to attend to only such
matters needing immediate attention
and then adjourn. If tie United
States Supreme Court sends down its
decision against the State, the Gov
ernor can Immediately reassemble the
Assembly for such action as Will be
necessary, but if there is any tinker
ing with the law now it may be max
ing bad worse, and add additional
complications to an already coat OF

Tho Selfish PcrSoo.

The great pity Of the selfish person is
not that he robs others OF pleasure or
comfort, but that he is so thoroughly
unhappy himself. The selfish person is
never satisfied, never content. When he
has greedily taken all, he still wants
more, while the unselfsh person finds
real happiness il giving to others the
little he has. From purely selfish
point Of view the unseldsh person is the
happier.
