The National Worry.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
believes that worry" is the national
disease, and has this to say upon the
subject:
The breakdown in American life
comes from worry, and worry has al
most become national! disease. If an
American has no money he worries
himself how to get some, and when he
gets any money he worries himself to
death for fear that he will lose it, He
worries at his work because he is afraid
he will not accomplish what he is given
to do. He worries about his meals /;
they are not on time, or they may dis
agree with him, or they may be costing
him too much. If he paws for thing
in advance he is afraid 1t VIII not come
up to the specifications, and if be gets it
on credit he is afraid that he will not
be able to pay for it when the bill
comes in.
He Is afraid to leave his money in the
house lest it be stolen. He IS afraid to
carry it with him lest somebody should
borrow it from HIM. He is afraid to
put it in the bank lest the bank should
fail. And so he worries about il. He
worries about his business, whether it
is going smoothly or not. He worries
about his family, about the education of
his children and the progress they are
making. He worries about tine nation
about congress, about the two great po-
iItlCal parties, about the national con-
ventlons, about the gubernatorial cleo
tons, about the tariff and financial ques-
tons, about the initiative and referen-
dunn, about the abstract right of seces-
sion, about the resolutions of '9S, about
the decadence of politics, about civil
service reform, about the future of De-
mocracy, about sanitation, the water
and gas questions. the paving of streets,
the street ear system, the class of plays

lie either sleeps too much or he sleeps
too little. He has an idea that life is a
conspiracy, and that he must preserve
eternal vigilance or the conspiratOrs

nerves that he gets angry on slight pro-
vocation. and thus wastes more tissue.
The true secret of health, and life and
success is cheeriulness. The man who

WOULD TAMMANYIZE THE HIGH
SCHOOLS.

The friends OF that department OF
| public education I'm New York city COM
monty known as the high school," to
distinguish It from the grammar grade,
will soon be called upon TO make a Wig
orous fight for its preservation.
The existence OF the high schools is
threatened by Tammany, which is nat
urally and consistently opposed to any
form OF higher education The con-
templat,sd assault. however. n in the
direction OF imparing their efficiency
rather than an immediate extermina-
ton. Il seems that the trainers Of the
charter Of Greater New York did not
surround the public school system with
adapted safe guards against the in
cursion Of politicians There seems TO
be loophole for the designing spois-
men. Tammany thinks II has discov-
cred that the law allows + TO fix the
minimum requirements for principals
and teachers Of high schools, and 1t
plans to abolish the present system OF
licenses for these places, so that 1t can
MI them without subjecting Tammany
favorltes 10 embarrassing tests Of At
ness. In other words, It Is proposed to
Tamnanyize the high schools OF the
city Of New York.
Under the pBesent system OF licenses
the high schools OF New York have at
talned a standard Of efficiency equal TO
that Of the smaller colleges Of the coun-
try. The staff Of teachers in culture
and character will compare favorably
with the corps OF instructors in many
universities. The standard Is too high
for Tammany. 1t proposes to drive out
the expert teachsrs-ahlity which came
into the schools under the adminlstra-
ton Of Mayor Strong. The places are
to be opened to Tammany spoilsmen
for the reward Of party henchmen.
Politics, the bane and the peril Of the
common school system Of this country,
is to stalk in roughshod for the despoll-
ment Of the structure which culture
and educational zeal have built UP In
the high schools.
It is believed there is chance yet
to rescue the high schools from Tam
many. The right Of the borough boards |
to abolish old standards Of requirement
for teachers is challenged by the city
superintendent. It will be the same old
contest Of authority between the super
intendent and a board Of spoils pollti-
clans. The friends Of public education
In New York should rally to the sup
port of the superintendent to protect
the high schools from the despoilment
and degradation at the hands Of the
Tammany organization.

WILL SOON REACH PAR
Now Considered the Most Attractive
Securities on the Market Selling
Below Face Value.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-The idea that
the complication of the Central Pacific
readiustment plan by the delivery Of
the new securities issued under the
plan will disturb the money market
has not been borne out by the actual
movement Of money. AS a matter Of
fact the demand for the new securities,
particularly the 3ls per cent bonds has
been so heavy from other cities that
actual delivery Of the securities has
exarted a favorable influence upon the
market
The new Central Pacifc's 3lk sold
above 30 when issued early in the SUM-
mer, but they are now below IS, at
which price they are being picked up
in large amounts by investors as refec-
ted in the enormous dealings in them
in the last few days. In Wednesdays
market transactions were particularly
heavy with the price advancing to
84&.
Under the adjustment plan the bonds
bear interest from August 1st, and they
are secured by mortgage upon all the
railroads and properties covered Nv tne
first refunding mortgage and by de-
posiL with trustee Of all securities now
Or hereafter held in the sinking fund;
also by trust deed upon all the lands
covered by the mortgage securing the
land bonds Of the old Central Pacific
Company; also upon all notes given in
pay for lands.
Income derived from the sinking fund
securities or from lands is to be an
piled to the payment Of interest on the
31z per cent bonds. The company has
the privilege Of selling sinking fpre
securities or land for the purchase Of
the 34 per cent bonds as long az no
default exists in respect to interest or
principal. Provision has been made
against the making Of any other mort
gage on the property covered by the
mortgage securing the 31h per cent
bonds.
At the present market level the bends
yield over four per cent but the cir
rsnt heavy buying suggests that thew
will soon rule not far from par. They
are among the bsst Of the attractive
IssSeS selling under par.

SWORDS SELDOM CARRIED.
Our Officers Prefer Canes to Side
Arms

There is one thing" writes Sergeant
Ozias Quoted by the Kansas City
JoumaD. that should be spoken Of
to correct misapprehension Of facts
General Funston is spoken Of and pic
tured as rushing at the insurgents with
uplifted sword and seabbard swinging
high. He did nothing Of the kind, nor
did any other officer worthy Of being
cahed one. At Marilao I stood (up) on
the east bank Of the river with the
First battalion OF Company II firing
over the river at the rebels, to protect
Funston and the men crossing the
river. None Of US was more than ten
feet away from the river bank, in full
view Of the enemy and without even
a blade Of grass to protect US, but they
ware hid from US.
I'VE yelled to Funston that Pennsyl-
vania was attempting to cross to claim
our victory. He started to run as fast
