The Nicarauga canal measure had
hard struggle for existence in the pres.
ent session of Congress and the fight
ended in . compromise, which seems
perfectly satisfactory to the friends of
the enterprise. Ser stor Morgan says
the compromise, which carries an sppro-
priation of ST. 900 600. provides for the
first practical step in the construction of
a canal by the government of the United
States, and when Congrt ss meets next
winter it will appropriate the money to
b ,gin digging. The bill commits and
pledges the government to build the
canal without the aid of intermediary
corporations or syndicates. 1t is to be a
national and not private enterprise,
and hereafter will appear in the Sundry
civil bill in the list of continuing appro-
priations. Perhaps 81 200. 900 is all that
could properly be spent during the com

liminaries to be attended to, but it il

VINDICATION OF SUGAR.
European Athletes Begin to RecOg
nize Its Value as Nourishment.

A German scientist, who prefers to he
anonymous, publishes in the Allge-
meine Zeitung an enthusiastic glorifics-
tion of sugar. he says that it is not only
most welcome to the palate, but that on
account of its power to nourish, it is al
most the most valuable thing which one
can eat. There is scarcely any other
equally important feeder of muscle power
The laborer can do nothing better than
keep q few Jumps of sugar in his pocket.
The negroes in sugar plantations renew
and quicken their weary bodies by suck
ing the sugar cane. Sugar is fine restora-
tive for soldiers. A Dutch army surgeon
asserts that during an expedition in
Sumatra he found that the best means
to maintain the soldiers in vigor and
freshness not only during the march,
put during the fight, was generous al
lowance of sugar. Each man was served
with q handful at q time. The Swiss
chamois hunters bear similar testimony
to its marvellous powers of sustenance
AuO VI I0CuP0IAtlOu AIOA AotlSu0s
The German writer gives An account
of successful experiments made with
sugar as food for athletes by several of
the Dutch rowing clubs, by pedestrians,
by cyclists aud others whose bodily
powers need "a rapid, portable and in
nocent stimulant." Sugar is coming
more and more into use in Holland in
the course of training" for contests, and
it is as good for beasts as it is for men.
The poor hardly real'zs as yet or only
realize unconsciously what a treasure
they possess in cheap sugar. It's value
in fever has been emphasiz ed by Hupe-
land and others. That which is supposed
to injure the teeth in the consumption OF
candy is not the sugar, but the so-called
"fruit acids" which are introduced to
flavor the sugar. Negroes who devour
sugar in immense quantities have the
best teeth in the world. Nsw York

The question of how to treat domestic

The question of how to treat domestic
help, was discussed by the Society of
Ethical Culture, of New York, the other
mig ht. Prof. Mary R. Smith, of the
Leland Stanford University, made the
principal address. During her remarks
she explained how she intrusted to her
good servant, an ordinary endowed Irish
girl, the catering for the household,
only re quiring her to keep the expense
within a certain sum, and how she
gra nted the freedom of the house to the
servants, allowing them to give a party
during the absence of her hut band and
herself. When questioned as to how
this plan worked, Mrs. Smith said she
had never found that the privileges were
abused. The reason, she said, that girls
90 into factories rather than take up
dom estic service is that in the former
avocation they have regular hours fol
their W ,rk, and are under but one gen.
eral overseer, so that their lives are freel
when off duty.

MONNETT
MONOPOL|ES,
CORPORATIONS Evade the
Payment of Taxes.
Interesting Points From a
Fearless Officers Report.

The report of Attorney General
Monnett for the past year was filed
with Governor Bushnell, Wednesday.
The report gives the figures of money
collected the past year by the state from
al sources, The total amount ID
$167 666. As, and for the past three years
is s475, ,942 40.
A review is made of the litigation set
on foot by the attorney general, the
insurance, Standard Oil and national
bank cases being exhaustively treated.
The part of the report bearing on the
Standard Oil case, among other things,
says:
"The ultimate result of this contest
before the highest court of the state is
considered by this department. of the
greatest moment, as it will tend to
establish the supremacy Of the Supreme
court of the state over it's own creatures,
to- wit. corporate bodies. The theory of
this department is that the curt is
supreme and Independent of any federal
question in the matter of revoking the
franchise of any corporation authorised
to do business by the legislature, when
such corporate creature violates the
provision of it's creation"
Attention is called to the fact that in
none OF the suits brought under the
antitrust law, passed last winter, has
the constitutionality of the law been
attacked.
at is manifest" says the report,
"thar this evil of absorbing commercial
interests by monopolistic combinations
has had rapid growth in the last few
years in this state, as well as adjoining
states, and the determined and con-
certed action of all the executive officers
of the state should be taken to protect
the masses from the expressions Incl
dent thereto; and beg leave to report
: that in the opinion of this department
no backward step should be taken by
the legislature or executive department
in protecting the people from such
aggressions.
/
tion is taken that there is urgent neeG
of reform. The statement is made thai
there are large number of corporation
thst are paying taxes on less than 25 pei
cent. of their stock value, which is no
in harmony with the provision of the
constitution, requiring the taxation BY
uniform rule of all moneys, credits, etc.
In closing this part of the report th'
attorney general says: "It is surely
. enough for the state to submit to th'
diverting of profits from the origina
producer, whether as the owner of tn,
soil or as the owner of Drawn ant
, muscle, into the channels of aggregated
wealth, commonly known as trusts
without also having to submit to tn
humiliating spectacle of seeing tn
. same aggregations imposing upon tn
man of small business and small mean
in the question of taxation or tn
question of bearing its share of tn,
burdens of the government"

IN MEMORY OF UNCLE JEHU
BROWN.

Uncle Jehu Brown
Was the Oldest citizen in your county and
town.
He moved to Logan county in eighteen
hundred and thirty-four,
And now he has gone to land, where he
will dwell forever more.
He was not blind in God, but il sight.
Still clinging to his master with all his pow
er and might.
He was ninety-nine years old and past,
Our dear Savior welcomed him home at
last.
He bore a good name and reputation,
In his younger days farming was leading oc-
cupation,
His dear old wife was q great lover of
OF which she no doubt admired hours after
Christ will make him more righteous ON high,
Because he has given him a spiritual eye.
Two that once were united as one,
Will meet together, trey have neither
daughter nor son.
Homeless children they have r.isen more
than seven,
Which is their wonderful desire to meet
them in heaven.
Perhaps his last days and hours, to him
were quite lonely,
But now he is with his dear Savior Jesus
Christ the only.
how kind we should be to the old.
Our kindness to them will always be to do,
Always be kind to the poor, old and blind
Your good deeds they will always bear in
mind
Viewed his dear old face in his white lined
casket,
1t looked as lovely as white lilies in basket
His hair looked like 6ne white silk threads
As fine Is spider webs which form over oul
head.
Not one harmless flower was on his caske
laid.
Oh, If one white wreath might have bee1
made.
five were al harmless rs the lilies of tn
pond,
Our places in that dear land would easil.
be found.
God has now taken him by the hand,
To lead him over that beautiful land,
In that place where there is rest for all,
The young and the old both great an
small.
Behold he counts you happy, who endure
Christ has the power to make your heart
clean and pnre,
Now the young and the old please tax

For it may not be far of until that Judf

System Of Fines.

Two young men were brought into the
police court charged with disturbance.
The police judge fined them each SIS and
costs. One of the young men pulled out
his pocketbook, paid his fine, and with a
supercilious sneer, walked away. His
father was a wealthy citizen of Toledo.
The other young man was taken as a
convict to the work-house. His father
had been cut of employment for five
months. l don't think that's the way
to make citizens. Money does not
satisfy justice, neither does it atone for
crime. What do we want with the
money of criminals? If person de-
serves to 90 to the prison he should 60
there, and 10 amount of money should
take the place of it. Yet we take this
money right along, and commit the same
crime over again. think this whole
system of fines ought to be abolished

DON'T MAKE THEM DEEPER.

Is fathers eyesight growing dim,
His form a little lower?
Is mothers hair little gray,
Her step little slower?
Is life's hill growing hard to climb?
Make not their pathway sleeper;
Smooth out the burrows on their brows,
Oh, do not make them deeper.
There's nothing makes a face so young,
AS joy, youths fairest token;
And nothing makes a face grow old
Like hearts that have been broken.
Take heed lest deeds of thine should make
Thy mother be weeper;
Stamp peace upon fathers brow.
Don't make the wrinkles deeper.
In doubtful pathways do not go,
Be tempted not to wander;
Grieve not the hearts that love you so,
But make their love grow fonder
Much have thy parents borne for thee,
Be now their tender keeper;
And let them lean upon thy love,
: Don't make the wrinkles deeper.
Be lavish with thy loving deeds.
Be patient, true and tender;
And make the path that ageward leads
Aglow with earthly splendor.
Some day, thy dear ones, stricken low,
Must yield to death, the reaper;
And you will then be glad to know.
You made no wrinkles deeper.
Mrs. Frank A. Breck, in Carleton's Every
Where.

HEARD 1T DROP.

NV business now was flourishin', and
although Mr.. Yates was a Christian,
the church people patronized me as
much as they did him, for durin' this
time they had tremendous revival
down at Jericho Center, and had ex-
perienced religion. By being in the
choir had many chances to see Susan
home, which would not have happened
otherwise, and I valued this circum-
stance; for my regard for her had
gradually deepened into sincere and
unmitigated affection.
"But then Susan up and married

This took Susan out of the choir, and

Methodist church afire. That was the

to see how my vocal organs was fixed.
