IN USING.

The Raleigh North Carolina) News
and Observer describes IAN amusing
circumstance connected with the vot-
ing last Tuesday at Newton in that
State. One of the election judges told
negro who came to vote that he had
better kiss the ballot box goodbye, as
he was not likely ever to get so close
a view of it again. The negro took the
advice and solemnly kissed the box,
and four or five other voters of the
same race initiated his example, some
of them getting down on their knees
as they did it.
This was indeed an amusing circum-
stance. Almost as amusing as some of
the circumstances" of slavery in the
South used to be.

SICK DEMOCRACY.

Drop free silver, drop fusionism, drop
the cry of government by injunction,
drop the cry of imperialism and mill
tarism, drop all discussion about the
Philippines until peace has been restor-
ed; drop appeals to the passions and
prejudices of the idle and disconnected.
Revive the question of taxation, teach
the Democratic doctrine that people
cannot be made rich by taxing them,
assail the favoritism and wrongs of a
high protective tariff stand for the con-
troll of trusts and combines by methods
not oppressive; demand enlargement of
the powers of the Interstate Commerce
commission, and the liberal improve
ment of harbors, and insist on local self
government, and let the next presiden-
tial candidate remain at home during
the campaign.
This Is the prescription given by Con-
gresham Catchings of Mississippi for
the improvement of the health of poor
old sick Democracy 1t has merit in it,
although it doesn't seem to be radical
enough The way to cure Democracy is
to amputate it.

A man there was who would fam be great
And with men of minds stand pat
So he started him out on Il quiet hunt
And rented Il brain, with its mental stunt,
And the great man lived in a brownstone
'front.'
While his brain lived up in a fat
He worked his brain both early and late.
And It's thoughts through the wide world
spread;
He allowed it little a week for pay
AS little as possible, by the way
And he ate his lunch in a grand cafe,
While his brain thanked God for bread
And 1t Glanced one day that the hand Of
Fate
Cut both from the sphere mundane
And the great mans funeral cortege swept
The streets for a mile, and a nation wept
And placed n monument where he slept
And the county buried his brain.

THE RACE OF FAIRIES.

One of the most interesting things in
the address which Professor John
Rhys delivered to the Anthropological
Section of the British association yes
terday, was fascinating attempt to
reconstruct the anatomy of fairies and
to show that the true key of the fairy
idea Is that there was once real race
of people Ito whom all kinds of attrib-
utes possible and impossible have been
given in the course of encountered GEN.
turtles of story telling by races en-
dowed with a lively imagination"
For instance, although fairy women are
generally represented as delightful and
beautiful beings, some of the tribes of
men fairies are described as ugly, and
fairy children when left as changelings
are invariably pictured as repulsive ur-
Chlns of sallow complexion and most
ly deformed about the feet and legs. In
the words of Professor RhyS: when
one approaches the fairy question in
this kind of way one is forced, it strikes
me, to conclude that fairies, as a real
people, consisted of a short, stumpy
swarthy race, which made it's habita-
tons underground, or otherwise cum
ningly concealed They were hunters,
probably, and fishermen; at any rate,
they were not tilers of the ground, or
eaters of bread. Most likely they had
some Of the domestic animals and
lived mainly ON milk and the produce
of the chase, together with what they
got by stealing, They seem to have
practised the art of spinning, though
they do not appear to have thought
much of clothing. They had no tools

A railroad mustn't invite children to
play on a turntable, at least not in
Texas. A turntabe in that State was
left unlocked, although under the CON-
pany's rules it should have been locked
when not in use. The children of the
neighborhood were in the habit of taxi
ing rides on the turntable, and the local
employees of the company knew it. FL
nally boy took a ride and was injured
for life. An action for damages was
brought. The company fought it, but
unsuccessfully. The court of civil APP
peals affirmed the judgment of the
court below. The justices said: The
fact that the turntable was left I'M
locked added to it's attractiveness to
children, and taken in connection with
the other matters and things pleaded in
the petition-such as the ease with
which the turntable could be revolved
it's unusual attractivneSs as g PLAYING
children of the town, with he knowl-
edge of appellant, went upon said turn
table and rode thereon when it was left
nlocked-rendered the leaving of the
same unlocked one of the special facts
from which an implied invitation could
be established. The implied invitation
which is established by facts Of this
character arises from, or is based upon,
the doctrine of estoppel. When it is
shown that the owner has placed upon
his land unusually attractive machin-
cry, and that within his knowledge
children are thereby induced to go upon
his premises, and the owner knows that
leaving said machinery unfastened adds
to it's attractiveness, he will not be
heard to say that children thus induced
to go upon his premises were not there
by his consent or invitation.

Attempts having been made in the far
West to give political twist to the
employment of Japanese in places for
merly filled by white men, President
Hill of the Great Northern railroad
and President Mellen of the Northern
Pacific have made public statements
that the change in the nationality of
the navvies on their roads was one of
necessity rather than choice. Each as
serte that it is the policy of his com
pany to give employment to white
citizens. rather than to aliens. They
deny vigorously that the japanese were
imported, in violation of the law, to
work on the railroads. Far from that
being the case each railroad has trans
ported free thousands of white labor
ers from eastern sections during the
year, in an endeavor to supply. the de-

more desirable employment, however,
that comparatively few of these trans
ported laborers remained with the rail-
roads. OF $4,000 of such workers car
ried West by the Great Northern not
over 1900 remained with the company.

LESS SUFFERING,

| Silver isn't suffering quite as much as
it was. 1t has advanced to 641a cents
an ounce under the influence chiefly of
an increased demand from the Indian
gold in India, silver is wanted for the
small retail transactions of its 300, 000,-
900 people. AS much as $25,000000 has
been shipped in the last three quarters
from London to the British East Indies,
an increase of more than $7,600,000 over
last year. England imported in the
nine months ended with September
$47, 100000 worth of silver, of which
amount the United States supplied $40,-
800 900. The total movement to India,
China and Japan was $i6,SO0 900, China
taking $21, 10000 worth. The foreign
troops in China require silver for local
payments, and Chinese merchants, in
consequence of the war; prefer silver to
goods in payment for Chinese exports
The increase of silver shipments to the
East over last year is some SIS, 900, 900,
or 46 per cent.
This ought to cheer the silverites of
this country some, even though they
have reason to feel that nothing will be
done for suffering silver in this coun-
try.

Trolley cars of a suburban electric
railroad near ST. Louis have a complete
telephone outfit whereby their crews are
able to converse with the headquarters
office on occasion. Each car carries
telephone set and jointed fishing rod,
the sections of which are wired On
the tip of the rod Is a stout wire hook,
and at the butt of the rod is piece of
flexible conducting cord ending in a
plug which may be inserted in a socket
on one of the vestibules of the car.
Alongside the tracks is a telephone wire.
When car desires to communicate
with the office it is stopped, the hook
on the fishing rod is caught over the
wire, the plug is inserted in it's socket
and the car is in connection at once.
The road is eight miles long and is to
be extended. Its officers say that the
telephone system is very satisfactory in
operation.

Some months ago number of pub
lic-spirited citizens of Berkeley, Cali
fornia offered to pay into the town
treasury the $1,S0O received annually
from liquor licenses On this condition
prohibition ordinance was adopted,
and the saloons received notice that
they might have three months in which
to wind up their business. AT the ex-
piration of that time the $3.50 necessary
for the first quarterly payment was
raised, but it was held in hand to await
the attitude of the town authorities to-
ward the prohibited traffic. That at
titude was one of Indifference. AS
much liquor was sold as before, and the

money.
