Roberts and TaImace.

There is wag in the city of Wash
ington VINO read last week the diatribe
against polygamy in the Sermon pub
lished by the Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage in
local paper, and then submitted the fol-
lowing propositions in a letter to the
Washington POST
First. Polygamy is an abhorrent thing
and Roberts should be hung.
Second. DR.. Talmage's sermon (?) pub
lished last Monday was the most eloquent
arraignment Of polygamy the country has
ever seen.
Third DR.. Talmage has charmed the
people in years gone by with the thought
that the good win meet their loved ones
on the other shore.
Fourth. Hence in the next world, the
elect will know the bliss of family reun-
ions.
Fifth. This is a blessed thought for the
pure in heart who travel through this vale
of tears.
Sixth If this is true, the programme on
earth is necessarily different from that of
heaven.
Seventh. Roberts is said 10 have three
wives, two too many for earth, at one
time.
Eighth. DR.. Talmage will cross the di-
vide having lived in a consecutive man.
ner with four earthly wives.
Ninth. This is lawful, and 1t is civiliza-
ton on earth.
Tenth. But there must be reunions in
heaven.
Eleventh. Dr. Talmage may have the
same trouble in the next world that Rob
erts has in this.

A TIGHT MONEY MARKET.

There is great complaint in New
York city of a scarcity of money.
There came near being panic in the
Stock Exchange there on Monday,
because it was not possible to
get all the money for which there was
demand. There have appeared in some Of
the newspapers expressions of opinion that
the Secretary of the Treasury should buy
more bonds, and in that way put money in
circulation.
The chief reason that there was such
an active demand for money on Monday
was that there was bear raid on stocks
in Wall street, and those who had stocks
margined wanted money to increase their
margins. The banks were not disposed to
let them have it unless they offered gilt
edged security. Many who were carrying
stocks, particularly industrial stocks, were
sold out. Naturally they think that if
money had been more plentiful they would
have been able to tide over the difficult
ties they encountered.
But there doa1 not appear to have been
on Monday, or on any other day within
the last few weeks such a scarcity of
could not get all they wanted at fair
rate of interest. Those who are com
planning of a tight money market are the
spectators. The statement that there is
not money enough in circulation for the
needs of the country comes largely from
Wall street. There does not seem to be
any lack of money in this section of the
country 1t is said that the banks in this
city and in all of the surrounding towns
have all the money they can profitably
use
The volume of speculation in Wall
street is very great and it appears TO be
increasing The number of shares which
changed hands on Monday was enormous.
1t is hardly probable that the cry for more
money will make much impression on the
country as long as it emanates almost
wholly from Wall street, There is not
much sympathy outside of New York with
the speculative business that is carr ed on
in that street. 1t is true that that sort
of business is likely to bring about fnan-
cial panics, and thus injure other kinds
of business. For that reason ii becomes
necessary to pay considerable attention to
the demands of Wall street fer money. If
it were not for the power which Wall
street has TO injure the business interests
of the country it is probable that c3mpar-
alive little attention would be paid 10 its
cry for more money.

STEEL BlfODlNIlON ~ i M Nv -
day or two ago we called attention
to the differences alleged to nave grown
up between Mr.. Carnegie and his manag-
ing partner. Mr.. Frlck. and to the an
nouncement that Mr.. Frick, backed by the
millions Of the President OF the STANDARD
Oil Company and several bankers OF
Pitsburg, had arranged 10 build an i'm
mense steel plant near Pittsburg, to be
called the Union Steel Works.
In this connection We pointed out That
the United States were rapidly getting
control of the markets of the world for
steel products. We did not mention the
outlook for steel making in the South, be
cause, as yet. about all of the steel pro
duced in this country is made in the
North The time is close at hand, how
ever, when the South viii be a powerful
rival of the North in the manufacture of
steel and steel products.
It Is easy to demonstrate that steel can
be produced at Birmingham, Ala, and at
other places in the South more cheaply
than anywhere else Il is admitted that
pig iron can be produced in the South at
less cost than in the North or in Eu-
rope. 1t was clearly shown that it could
during the hard times that prevailed a
few years ago. Where pig iron can be
made cheapest there is where steel can be
made at the least cost.
The construction of a great steel plant
was begun at Ensley, place about ten
miles from Birmingham. Ala, not many
months ago. and three of the ten furnaces
projected are in operation. 1t will be only
a short while before all of the furnaces
will be turning out steel. And it is a
safe prediction that al Ensley steel of a
high grade will be made at less cost than
it will be possible to make it at the great
Homestead works of Mr.. Carnegie or at
the Union Steel Works of Mr.. Frick. All
of the steel works of the country can
make money now, because times are good
and there is a very great demand for steel
products of all kinds, but hard times will
come again, and then it will be shown
that in Alabama and Tennessee iron and
steel can be made at a cost that uefies
competition.
As soon as steel plants are in success
full operation In the South, mills for max
ing rails and other steel products
will be. established. 1t is mat
ter of only very few years
when Birmingham will be a sort of second
Pittsburg. 1t is not improbable that armor
plate will be made there before ten years
roll around. In that event we may see
Mr.. Egans idea of sflipyard at Savan-
nah materialize. The business men of
Savannah ought TO be getting ready for
it by pressing upon this Congress the
necessity for a twenty-eight-foot channel
from Savannah to the sea. That prosper
| ity comes to those who work intelligently
for it is as true of cities as of men. II
| Savannah is to have increased prosperity
her business men must work for it, and
they must work all the time

Representative Mcclellan of New York
is one OF the best story tellers in the
House, and he regales some of his friends
occasionally with choice anecdotes, says
the Washington Post Since Speaker Reed
left Congress Mr.. Mcclellan delights to
tell the bright things the great Gar Is
forever saying. According to his latest in
this line he met Mr.. Reed one day not
long ago on Broadway.
How do you do, Mr. Speaker" said Mr.
Mcclellan.
Il am not Mr.. Speaker any longer" said
Mr. Reed, in his lazy, drawing voice.
Then. how do you do Mr.. Reed" con-
tfnued Mr.. Mcclellan. with a military
wave of the hand.
Mr.. Reed returned the salutation
What do you think of politics ?" asked
Mr. Mcclellan.
Il am not thinking of politics." answer
ed Mr.. Reed, in the same character of
voice. Il am reformer now and a re-
former has nothing TO do but make
money"

The Mules Latent defect.

Can a mule have a latent defect? Is
there such thing known to zoology as a
good mule?' Which is the greatest men,
ace to God-fearing citizens, a mule or an
express train going seventy-fve miles an
hour? These and similar questions arose
in Judge Garrisons court this morning in
the trial of the case of Lewis Savage
against the Winslow brick people, says
the Central Law Journal, quoting an ex-
change. Savage was at work shoveling
clay into brick machine, the hopper of
which was level with the ground. A feb
low emplOye drove in a load of clay with
a mule named Turk hitched to it. While
SaVage's face was turned from the mule
the latter started to back, and 1t backed
and backed until 1t tumbled Savage into
the hopper. where he was ground up.
THE legal controversy between Judge
| Armstrong, counsel for the brick people,
| and Judge Westcott, for Savage-the man
| who was ground up-was whether the en-
ployers were not guilty of negligence, in
not informing Savage of the latent defects
in the mules moral character.
"Humphr' calculated Judge Armstrong,
"how can a mule have a latent defect?
The fact of his being mule makes all his
| defects obvious at once.
| Nevertheless he traversed the peacea-
bility of the mule and examined a man
named jefferson on the subject
Did you know this mule Turk?
Yes. sir; L was personally acquainted
with him.
Twas he a good mule?'
There never was a good mule, sir
| Judge Garrison didn't strike the answer
from the record, so it was in a measure
| judicially determined on the best sort of
expert testimony Jefferson being a negro
that there are no good mules known to
| geological science and that, as a corrolary
proposition mules can't have latent de-
fects.'
"As soon as the evidence for the plaintiff
was in Judge Armstrong moved for a nom
suit on the ground that the brick people
had not been guilty of negligence the
plaintiff having been fully apprised of his
danger. Judge Westcott tried to ring in
extraneous matters so as to get the case
to the jury, which contained two men of
the same race as the colored plaintiff.
This is only a question of the latent or
obvious defect of the mule, declared Judge
Garrison, and the nonsuit is ordered.

And one man in his time plays many

It's skill being seven stages. AT first, the

Missing and swearing at the little globe;
Then the local player, with his brassie
And happy goihng face, creeping like

But willingly toward holes; and then the

Teeing the guilty. with a Highland ballad
Made to his partners wrist shot. Then
an expert,
Full of Scotch oaths and costumed in the

Making sobble; sudden and quick in
putting,
Seeking a golfng reputation
Even in the bunker's pit. And, then, the
champion,
In well worn outfit with gold medals
lined.
with eyes severe, and half shot of the
best,
Full of advice and mateh-play instances;
And so he plays his game. The sixth

Shifts into the old and "has-been" golf
