Exit the CannibaI.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Oh, the blithe and eager cannibal has
seen his brightest days;
They are fading out forever in Old Glory's
coming rays,
And the happy missionary will not dread
the fatal broth,
AS he drops that ragout feeling which was
common 20 the cloth y7o
oh, no more the paunchy savage will set
UP his steaming pot,
Out of which the fragrant parson will be
fOrked or laded hot;
And no more will grinning henchmen squat
beside the chief while he
With a nice discrimination hands around
the late d. d.
For the Yankee sweeps the ocean, and
the polisher of bones
In the Philippines and Sandwiches and
far-away Ladrones
Must resign their meaty diet and come
down TO palmer things,
For there'li be no more man-eating meath
the eagles sheltering wings.

The Lord Won.

Before the slot machines were ordered
out" says an Omaha man, quoted by the
World-Herald, 'there were a number of
Jackpot machines about town which paid
from 10 cents to So, when they paid any
thing One of these machines stood in a
saloon in Douglass street, and had sWal-
lowed many a nickel without giving up
anything in return.
"One afternoon a Salvation Army girl
entered the saloon with a bundle of War
Crys under her arm, and tackled the men
a the bar to purchase copies. The men
were liberal, and she sold a humber of pa
pers, As she started TO ieave the saloon
her eyes fell upon the machine She looked
a the directions a moment and then said:
" IN just play one nickel in here for the
Lord - 7I
"She dropped the nickel in the slot, pull
ed the lever, and watched the wheels go
round. When the wheel stopped a shower
of nickels dropped into the pan and spread
out upon the floor. The girl stopped down
and raked in the shining harvest, and.
after carefully counting the coins, deposit
ed them in her pocket and sauntered out
"She played one lonesome nickel and
raked in $3.50. And that was the only time
the machine ever paid more than a quar-
ter"

ANOTHER CASE OF BR'ER RABBIT

The true inwardness of the proposition
to let Estnl park, revert to the county
Is that the County Commissioners want it
for the county. There is some good plant
ing land in it. and the agricultural demand
like the scheme for the draining of Buck
halter swamp, takes precedence over all
other public interests.
When EstiG park is given up it will be
another case like that of giving away the
streets and providing bonuses for the
street raiIroad-the aldermen win be sorry
when it is too late.
The city has been the victim of the
shortsightedness Of its servants for years.
In the matter of opening streets, thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars could have
been saved 10 the city if the land for
streets had been purchased when it could
have been had for a very low price. But
the city authorities could not be induced
to buy rights of way for streets when a
tow value was placed on the land. 1t was
decided 10 delay, and delay has cost the
city dearly.
To save 81 900 year for five years-not
ten years as those who would mislead the
people state-the aldermen are about to
give away land which another board of
aldermen within a few years, viii want to
buy back, probably, at a very high price.
The park unpromising as its opponents
would have it to appear to be, is the only
large area Of land in the county now open
70 the public. No law abiding citizen can
go outside the city anywhere in the county
without trespassing on private property
Estin park is the only piece of woodland
in the county on which a citizen is per-
mitted TO so without asking permission
from somebody. Those who. by their votes
lake this land away from the public don't
know what they are doing.

They Took the Hint.

"I would have been all right if the other
fellow had stayed away" complained the
young man TO his friend, according to the
Detroit Free Press. you could have
knocked me down with a feather when I
called upon her the other evening and
found that other fellow there as big as
life.
II at once made up my mind to simply
ignore him and not let him know by word
or sign that I was aware that he was with
in forty miles of the place Would you be-
leve it, he had the nerve to play the same
game, while the girl simply laughed at
both of us.
He was a slayer, too I made up my
mind that l wouldn't leave before he did,
and it was evident that he was waiting
for me 20 go. When the clock struck u
and the girl sighed and yawned, we fixed
up a truce withour eyes and left to-
gether.
81 was mad clean through when called
the next evening to find that fellow there
ahead of me. We went through the same
performance and departed at midnight
eve kept that thing up for two weeks,
and the girl commenced TO lose weight for
want of sleep.
Last Saturday night I reported there as
usual, and l hadn't been in the room more
than five minutes when discovered a sign
hanging on the wall right before me. This

Quaint senator MorriII.

OF the late Senator Morrill, father Of
the senate,t w L. Curtis writes in the
Chicago Record:
Dear old Mr.. Morrill, came 20 Washing
ton forty-four years ago when the coun-
try was young and has seen 1t grow dur
ing a longer period than any other public
man now living. He was member of the
House of Representatives before the war
and helped 10 make the tariff bill that
provided money for the government He
was a pall-bearer at the funeral of Presi-
dent Lincoln and was a personal friend of
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and Charles
Sumner. TO Mr.. Sumner he bore close
resemblance, although he was a little taller
and not quite 50 portly. Mr.. Morrill, has
probably occupied less space in the Con-
gressional Record than any of his col
leagues. He has always made the speech
carly in the session upon some public
topic in which he pointed out the policy
he believed the representatives of the Re
publican party should follow in their leg
islatiOn. IT was sort of message 10 Con-
gress from the father of the Senate. He
printed it in handsome form and sent
copy bound in Russia leather to each OF
his colleagues and paper-cOvered copy
10 every voter in Vermont He would have
nothing more to say during the rest of
the session unless some one died when he
would perhaps pronounce the eulogy. He
never took part in running debate. He
never attempted to engage in a discussion
Of any public question. He had his SAY
and that was the end Of it,
He entertained in the same methodcal
way. On April IA every year he gave a
birthday party, to which the senators and
their wives, his personal acquaintances in
the House Of Representatives, the cabinet,
the Supreme Court and other public men
We're invited. and of late years the Pres-
dent has always been his guest. 1t was
an old-fashoned reception. the real thing,
and the old gentleman would feel quite
hurt if any of his colleagues or any old
friends failed to appear on these occa-
sions and offer their congratulations. He
was a rich man, having made his money
in the mercantile business early in life,
and had beautiful place at STAFFORD, Vt,
the town in which ne was born, eighty
nine years ago

A TEST OF THE CHANNEL.

There need no longer be a doubt in the
mind Of any one that there is fully twenty
six feet of water in the channel of Sa-
vannah's harbor from the wharves of the
city 10 the sea. On THURSDAY, the Chester
left the wharves Of the ocean Steamship
Company. after the tide had began to fall
crossed the bar and passed to seq with
out delay three hours and a quarter after
high water on the bar. She drew fully
twenty-four feet and four inches. 1t IS
apparent from the condition Of the tide
when she passed to sea, that she could
easily have crossed the bar at high water
if she had been drawing twenty-five feet
and four or more inches.
The Chester had no trouble in going to
sea on one tide, Notwithstanding the fact
that she was in a party disabled condl-
ton, due to the loss OF one of her pro-
peller blades: The fact that size went 10
sea on one tide, and in a crippled condi-
t.on. proves beyond a question that the
accident she met with in the river on
the occasion OF her first trip to this port
was not due to any Lack of water in the
channel of the river. We call attention
TO this matter, because there were per-
sistent efforts made by some of Savan-
nahs rivals al the time of the accident
10 create the impression that this port had
not the depth of water claimed for it,
And the OLDHAM, which came into port
on Thursday, slipped out to sea the fol-
lowing day Friday), at dead low water,
drawing over nineteen and a half feet.
That proves beyond a doubt that the river
Improvement is a success, and that at
high water a ship drawing over twenty
six feet could easily go from our wharves
to the sea.
1t is safe to say that no other South At
lantic port approaches this in facilities for
handling commerce, and no one equals it,
with perhaps the exception of Port Royal
in ability to accommodate deep draught
vessels.

One argument, and a very strong one,
which is being advanced in advocacy of
the admission of wood pulp from Canada
free of duty is the fact that the pulp
makers of this country are rapidly de-
stroying the forests. 1t is stated that the
consumption of wood for paper making
has grown to the extent that each year
625 square miles of land are denuded of
timber. At this rate of destruction of
forests for paper alone how long will it be
before all the timber will be gone?

Is wealth everything in the estimation
of some of the leading New York newspa-
pers? There are in New York thousands,
and in the country tens of thousands, of
persons who are just as good people and
just as meritorious from every point of
view as the Vanderbilts, the Oelrichs, the
Tiffanys the Astors, and others of the
millionaire class, and who are doing the
country more good every day Of their
lives than the extremely rich persons are.
Yet when one of the modest ones does
something or two of them get married the
matter is dismissed with a line in the
newspapers, if indeed IL is noticed at all
But let anything. of even the least i'm
portance, occur among the mllionaires,
and the fact, with thousand insignificant
details, is spread all over the front pages
of the papers under big black headlines.

gagement of young Mr. Vanderbilt to
a young Miss Fair, just announced, sug-
gests the comment.
