"IIow to be happy though married" has

There can be 10 happiness without

liberation or female weakness, happiness
in marriage is practically impossible. A

The suggestion comes from Memphis
that "Our Bob" Taylor may decide to
take part in the next Senatorial race
in Tennessee. This suggestion comes
from the ex-governor's lecture manager
and it is not to be assumed without
further and more definite information
that it is prompted by the lecturer
himself. ''Our Bob" is out of politics
the public has had assurance of this
from his own lips-but he has hereto
fore been out and then in again, and it
is not an impossible thing for him to
be in again. One can be out of poll
tics but still so near the border line as
to be able to step in without much eff
fort on occasion. The Ex-Governor is
said to be quite content at present
with lecturing, which is a pleasant
and profitable employment, but we
have all the time suspected that when
he felt comfortably fixed financially he
would not be aYerse to tackling a
chance for the United States Senator
ship if the way seemed promising. But
there are others who have eagle eyes
on the Senatorship and it is yet little
early to speculate upon coming contin-
gencies. Nashville Banner.

Even Senator "Billy" Mason, must
be convinced by this time that Comp
troller Dawes is not only the admins.

shrewd politician, Mr.. VIM. Mckinley.
1t was by Mr.. McKinley's advice that
Dawes rendered his resignation as
Comptroller to take effect Oct. l.. The
advice was given in order that Mr..
Dawes might escape the criticism as
well as the defeat that met Mr.. Meikle-
john, for continuing to draw salary as
assistant secretary of war, while he was
for months in Nebraska, prosecuting
his canvass for senator. If it be in the

After Thirty Years.

Washington, July S.-The Comptrol-
Ter of the Treasury has passed favora-
bly, ON a claim for $2O5 in favor of Geo.
P. Roberts, of Tennessee, fled nearly
thirty years ago. Mr.. Roberts was a
member of Capt David Beatty's COM
pany of independent scouts which new
err had been regularly mustered into
the service. Congress recognized their
services in 1870, and Mr.. Roberts was
originally allowed 81, O34. Mr.. Roberts
however, had served compulsorily in
the confederate service and did not join
Capt. Beatty's scouts until Aug, 6, 1864.
He therefore, returned the check to the
treasury and asked that he be paid fol
his actual services. This was on Dec.
6, 1871, and now the matter has been
settled. Roberts honesty resulted in
his waiting thirty years and the govern
ment making big saving.

is FRANCE DEcLININGp
Has She Not "the Promise aud Potency of
Great Staying NatiOnp"
Editorial Boston Globe:

Editorial Boston Globe.
For the student of social science
there is, perhaps, no more interesting
study to be found than that of the pop
ulation figures of France.
The United Kingdom, Germany,
Austria, the United States and Russia
all showed steady gain of population
during the past fifty years. France
alone of all the great nations has re-
manned practically stationary. The
population of the country is only about
per cent. larger than it was in the
middle of the last century.
From the standpoint of the sociolo-
gist there are several ways of inter
pretting so anomalous a fact. 1t is
sometimes looked upon as a sign Of
permanent national decay. Yet France
has the most substantial civilization in
Europe. Her condition is the idea
one of social philosophers, for she has
greater proportion of independent
landholders than any other country
Her sturdy yeomanry are the envy o
Europe and the guaranty of nationa
stability.
But it appears that a country made
up of innumerable small landholderI
and independent farmers is given t
small families. This is the case il
France, and hence the lesser growth o
population. There are also certain ur
ban influences that are working tn,
same results.
But the great body of the population
being agricultural, the standard of liv
ing and comfort is kept high. Their
is little extreme poverty. If the fami
lies are small, they are thrifty. All O
the substantial conditions that belonI
to heavy landowning class are pres
ent.
Those who hastily jump to the con
clusion that France is retrograding be
cause she does not produce the surplu
hordes of italy and Austria, reckon to
lightly. France has the promise an
potency Of being great staying ne
ton and of OUTLYING many who pre-
dict her decay.

Impressions.

The touch of a hand, the glance of an
eye,
Or word exchanged with passer-by;
A glimpse of face in a crowded street
And afterwards life is incomplete;
A picture painted with honest zeal
And we lose the old for the new ideal /;
A chance remark or q songs refrain,
And life is never the same again.
An angered word from our lips is sped
Or tender word is left unsaid.
And one there is who, his whole life
long,
Shall cherish the brand of burning
wrong;
A line that stares up from an open page,
A cynic smile from the lips OF age,
A glimpse of loving seen in play, ~
And the dreams of our youth are swept
away.
A friendly smile and a loves embrac
ing spark
Leaps into flame and illumines the
dark;
A whispered "Be brave" to our fellow.

Mr.. Mckinley tried to satisfy the in,
fiuences which have been trying to gel
him to help postpone free trade with
Porto Rico, by telling them, before he
left Washington, to help look after re-
publican interests in Ohio, that had
discovered" that the Foraker law
made it obligatory upon him to issue
the proclamation, declaring free trade
as soon as he received an official copy
of the resolution adopted by the legis-
lature of Porto Rico, asking that it be
done. He will probably get that some
time during the present week. There
are some queer stories in Washington,
concerning the employment of General
Maxine Gomez, the former Cuban in
surgent commander, who was inter

ing out certain plans in Cuba. If true,
