Norfolk. Va. Dec. 1.-THE grand

didates, the former controlling the
election and having named all the
judges.

A BOY AND A RIFLE.

And the Trick the Father Played to
Make the YOunSster Careful.
Exact statistics on the subject are
lacking, but it is certain that the man
who didn't know it was loaded" Kills
and mains annually n great many per-
sons. The only safe rule with gun
is never under any circumstances to
point it at anybody. One should al
ways act on the assumption that 1T is
loaded Unfortunately, though, an aver
age human being learns only by ex-
perience, and where gun is concerned
that often entails an awful price.
Bearing this in mind a veteran
sportsman of this city adopted a
unique method of impressing this les
son on his son. This is how he told
the story:
81 want my son to be sportsman,
so that when he gets to be as old as
his father he may have as many
pleasant memories to look back to.
Therefore. on his sixteenth birthday L
gave him rifle. And instead of read
ing him long lecture on the necessity
of handling the weapon carefully, put
I'D lob on him that would be far more
of hours fondling it and cleaning it
and examining the mechanism, after
the manner of healthy boys, 1 contriv-
ed unknown to him to slip a blank
cartridge into the breach.
"Then 1 called him out into the yard
and holding my hat in front of me, ask
ed him to show me how he would take
aim at it. There was an explosion. and
he fell in dead faint. You may think
it mean of me, but I allowed him to
think that only the badness of his aim
or some Intervention of Providence
saved me from death. The lesson he
learned will last him through life, be-
cause a terrible fright accompanied it.
Some day when he gets old enough to
have boy of his own, / shall tell him
of the trick played on him."-New

Strikes.

All over the country where corporations
have many men in their employ, a
chronic or epidemic disposition to strike
prevails. The striking fever is not con-
fined entirely TO men, but girls, where
many work together in factories, are
striking also. The demand of the strik-
ers, principally, is for nine hour day
without reduction of pay.
In view of the general increase of prices
by the trusts the demands of the strikers
are reasonable. 1t is only demanding a
share of the increased profits which the
corporations are taking out of the pocket
of the community by their general in
crease in the price of their goods
And the demands of the workers could
be conceded by the corporations without
decreasing dividends on their stock below
very liberal profit, was it mot for the
oceans of water that have been pumped
into all of these stocks. This watered
stock swindle should be sternly dealt
with by prohibitory laws.

The Abuse of Our Banking Laws.

ed admonition 10 Congress and the coun-

officers of the banks He gives the start
ling statement that of the rs, 700 directors
and officers of national banks in the
country, 1854 are directly indebted to
banks under their own management.
Equally startling is his official state
nlent that with an aggregate capitaliza-
ton of 1851, ,46T, bank officers are
indebted to their own banks in the enor-
nous sum of $2o2, aS7,44I.-Phila. Times.
After IS years of our boosted progress
and great prosperity we find our people
in debt to the prodigious amount of thirty
billions of dollars, the annual interest on
which alone amounts 10 more than the
entire income from our principal staple
crops.
