(Chicago News.)

An old batchelor says that time is
the only cure for lovesickness.
The prettiest hood is childhood; the
most expensive is womanhood.
Always think twice before purchas-
ing anything offered at a sacrifice.
II there were no fools in the world
wisdom would be at discount.
When fox occupies the Judges
bench the goose on trial has no earth
ly show.
He who is charitable with the wealth
of others is entitled to but little
credit.
Wise men may acquire much know
ledge from those who have none
themselves.
Those who are present may have
excuses to offer. but the absent are
always at fault.
Men toll for leisure only to dis
cover. after gaining their object, that
leisure is not thing to be desired.
The woman question never strikes
man more forcibly than when he
starts out in quest Of female SER
want
The vows OF love frequently re-
semble the paper-covered hoops used
by the circus performers: they are
held up one moment and broken the
next.

Electricity In New York.

The total current used for incandeS-
cent lighting in New York is an aston
ishing amount. On April l, 1000, the
Edison company was supplying 1885,
262 lamps. The New York Gas, Heat,
Light and Power company, covering
the boroughs of Manhattan and the
Bronx and including the Edison sta
tions, was supplying 1,375,S26 1G can
die power lamps and the United Elec-
trio Light and Power company about
25O,OOO lamps. Including isolated
plants, the grand total must be about
100000 lamps, representing at least
100000 horsepower. Some idea Of this
power may be had from the fac. that
it represents the joint output Of more
than 200 locomotives, is more than the
combined horsepower Of Sampson's
and Dewey's sQuadrons in the war and
requires the consumption Of 1000 tons
Of coal al hour, or ton in less than
two seconds, while all the lights are
burning.

PROSECUTE THE CASES.

The Charlotte Observer is entirely
right in the following, and we may
say that Chairman Simmons declares
his purpose to have a complete inves-
tigaticn If he can secure it.
The Observer says:
at is hoped that Chairman SIM
mons, Of the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee, who, during the cam
paign just closed. addressed letters to
President Mckinley and the Civil
Service Commission, directing atten-
tion to violations of the Civil Service
laws by Federal officers in North
Carolina in the campaign, and asking
that the violators Of the law be dealt
with, will not relax his efforts to have
them brought to justice. II they
were guilty yesterday or last week or
last month they are guilty still. 1t is
too much the custom to prefer
charges against men, in heated cam
paigns. Of offending against the law
and dropping the cases when the cleo
tion is over. 1t is wrong. The re-
suit of the election, whatever it NAV
be, does not alter conditions Of guilt
or innocence. The Federal office hold
ers conducted the recent campaign in
this State and, if we are to believe
the testimony. were guilty Of gross
infractions of the law. They should
be punished for these now-prose-
cuted and punished just as certainly
and severely as if they had carried
the State instead of having lost it.
This is not said in any spirit OF vim
dictiveness or with any purpose to
deny the right Of individual action to
any man hereafter; but if the laws Of
this country are to control one class
they should apply to all. The reve-
nue. officers and others are either
guilty or not guilty. If guilty, they
should be punished; if not, they are
entitled to vindication from the
charges preferred against them.
There should, at all events, be an in
vestigation, and if the people of North
Carolina are to have their politics
conducted by Federal office holders
they ought to know it."
