1t is stated in some Of the papers that
Gov. Lee is in training for the position OF
S-Eator Pettigrew. When the governor
goes up against the senator on a propo,
sition of that kind he can rest assured
that he will be given a warm reception.
The senator has his machine too thorough
ly organized to permit the governor to
gain any foothold in his territory.

The sassiety editor of the New York
Herald gravely informs the world that
henceforth laughing is to be one of the
fine arts; that schools OF instruction
are busily engaged in toning down the
corners and smoothing off the rough
edges of the cachinnatory impulse
turning the rude diamond of spontan-
iety into the perfect-faceted gem of
sweet sound attuned to the pitch of
cultivated propriety. What though
'sthis silvery laugh is the result of
weeks and months of special training
and hours of patient practice"9 Is not
the end aimed at worth the toll of its
attainment Go to! Even by their
laugh shall we know them-the pre-
ferred of earth. God bless our home!
we'll perfect our daughters. The
Almighty aforesaid as rough newer
does passing we'll; but the polished
product results only from "months of
special training and hours of patient
practice"

Mr.. WASHINGTON E CoNNOR of Wall
Street is a gentleman we'll versed 10
stocks and bonds, and of course is
highly elated at the rise in price of the
commodities in which he deals. The
value of stocks, he says, has increased,
within a very short time, over $780,
900, 900, and he takes it that this
means "a business boom throughout
the country" How can he help see
ing, with a roseate tipge. the earth
whose fullness is dedicated to him and
his fellow-laborers in the vineyard
where the golden champagne pops
ready at handP Being a bull he is in
the swim, and it is perhaps natural for
prehensible fact that there are people
who, being out OF the swim, can't see
it his way He pathetically remarks
to the head of the st. Louis Republics
Prosperity Staff in New York, who has
diligently for two years or more per-
sisted in his search for the missing
damsel (you can pun the word if you
wish), and has had his hands on her
mantle at least two hundred and fifty
times, only to have it escape his grasp
and vanish round the corner to the
music of bis tear-stained pleadings-
Mr.. Conner now says to him:
1.-The people of this country do not
appreciate the extent of the prosperity
we are having. 1t is just beginning to
dawn upon them. The foreigners,
also. are just beginning to realize that
there has been vast change in our
business conditions, and that prosperity
has come to stay. Some of them did
not believe that two months ago"
Thus at length hope ends in fruition,
and faith is cast-off garment. IT'S
welli 1t had grown threadbare and
we were well-nigh a-shiver. But now
we turn our faces to Wall Street; the
sacred fires of its rising stocks illumine
the land and pestilent Want sinks to
its surly haunt 10 despair! Sing your
glad songs: Let the pseaus of victory
ring out! The golden age is here!
But keep an eye on the bears! Re-
member, o Bully Boy, the historic ides
of '92, when stocks oared,-too soon
followed by the disaster of $751; Some
how when the stock end of the teeter
board goes up. the industrial end goes

says the present high tide of specula-

past experience. Again, let him be-

The railroad employees of Missouri
are promptly indicating to the MEM
bers of the 10th general assembly their
attitude concerning legislation which
tends to reduce passenger railroad
fares. They realize, as does any think
ing person, that cut in passenger
rates must result in a corresponding
decrease in operating expenses and
this cannot be had except at the cost
of labor.-De Soto Facts.
The REGISTER is not infatuated with
the idea of passenger-rate reduction,
yet those favoring a two-cent rate are
not without good reasons to back their
been in force for twenty-five years. yet
to-day 1t is worth in all the commodi-
ties of life nearly double what it was
when established; the cost of operat-
ing the roads. through experience and
by aid OF science and improved ma
chinery, has been greatly reduced;
their business has steadily grown with
the growth of the populations whose
wants they subserve; the labor neces
sary to operate them has, through bet
ter organization and method, been
reduced These are some of the reas-
ons given by the reductionists for the
faith that is In them. The REGISTER
believes that a corporation. no less
than an individual, is entitled to some
of the fruits of greater experience and
better system. How to equitably di-
vide these fruits between the public
and its quasi servants is another Ques-
ton, and one not to be rashly resolved.
But that a reduction, if founded upon
intelligent deduction, shall result in
the reduction of the wages of railroad
employees. is neither just nor reason
able; and there is a smack of BULLDOG
ing in the matter that does not set well
on the average American stomach.
Let the railroad employees run the road;
it takes all the people to run the State.

SAYS our esteemed contemporary
the New Madrid Record:

SAYS our esteemed contemporary,
the New Madrid Record:
The Record endorses, with the hope
that it may become law, the bill pre-
sented by Representative Pope, provid-
ing s.that county courts shall furnish
school books to the children of indi-
gent parents" 1t is the right meas
ure in the right place, and we hope
the bill goes further and provides that
the said parents, when their children
are given these requisites to an educa-
ton, will see that they go to school.
There are lots of people in these days
of Mckinley prosperity who have an
ambition to school their children, but
cannot bear the expense our present
system demands in the supplying of
the necessary text books, and the pub
lie schools that are called FREE schools
are thereby robbed of that title and on
the contrary are exorbitant Institutions
to the INDECENT citizen.
The Record is consistent, so far as it
goes. but it doesn't go quite far
enough. When the State Institutes
free thing, let it be free clear through.
In the matter of free schools, let not
only the tuition be free, but also the
textbooks; also. free board and lodg-
ing when necessary; likewise, if the
pupil lack decent habiliments, let him
be clothed at public expense. If he
chance to be afflicted with measles, or
mumps. or whooping-cough, or any of
the ills to which youthful flesh is heir.
provide him doctor and medicine-for
no child can grade high while suffer-
ing from any of these things. Let the
State foot ali the bills, and everything
will be free to everybody-except the
taxpayer. and no public philanthropy
list ever regarded him. Let him go
his way for the ass that he is, braying
occasionally for pastime. but always
patiently submissive under burden and
cudgel. Seriously. it is inexpiicable
that anyone believing in the sovereign
ty attaching to the individuality OF the
citizen can contend that the State shall
in any degree stand IN COCO pareatis to
It's creator.

 After all has been said, however, cloths of all kinds will be the most pop ular for all kinds of dresses, even run ming into the summer season.
 Dresses are so much seen at present with the skirt and waist fashioned in the same material that this is scarcely to be wondered at. Then again the princess robe, so favorably adopted by Parisians, almost necessitates a plaiE material, and never looks better or falls in such graceful folds as when fash toned in cloth.
 So, though the future may perhaps have in store for us materials woven with cobwebs, at any rate cloth does for the present, and will, for considerable time, reign supreme.

In Hungary Poor Peasants Are Har- messed to the Flow Like
 Beasts of Burden.

Stephen Varkonyi, the leader of the peasants revolution which eonvulsed Hungary during the early months of 1898, has just been sentenced to one years imprisonment for high trea- son. The movement which was inaugu- rated by Varkonyi was a revolt against the remnants of serfdom which still exist in some parts of Hungary. In these districts each peasant is com pclled to work 50 days in the year for the land owner without pay. These 50 days of compulsory labor are not sue eess;ye or at fixed intervals, but when the land owner has work to be done he sends a drummer through the village and every male inhabitant is obliged to respond to the summons. Thereupon so many men are selected as are re- quired. The land owner almost invari- ably exaets the labor in the summer, when the peasants time is most yaiu- able to him.
 In summer the peasant can earn as much as one shilling per day; in winter not more than fourpence or siXpence. Ill N1ulGI IAG tS u1S SOiit P0AiNO to act as beaters in the magnates hunts fer wage of twopence day. The oc- cupation is a dangerous one, and the time is not counted in the annual 50 days compulsory labor. The wives of the peasants are required to sweep ant scrub the local manor house once a week without pay. Finally, many land owners use the peasants as beasts of burden, harnessing four men to blow | instead of two oxen.
 Stephen Yarkonyi, who instigdted the revolt against these degrading condi- tions of labor, is a sort of Hungarian Wat Tyler. He is the son of poor peas ants, was educated in the farmyard and graduated in the fields. He is quite a typical horny handed son of toll, is physically tall stoutly built, with plen- ty of character in his shaggy head, and small eyes, with their suggestion of the Mongolian slit, and has that rough kind of natural humor which appeals to the simple peasant mind. Varkonyl, whose power over the agricultural population of his country is unbounded, is one of the most interesting figures in modern Hungarian life.-London Mail.
