Things from "AbraWd."

If American women are going to
spend 800, 900, 900 yearly for gowns
made in Paris American dressmak
ers have made shreWd decision in
determining to go to Paris to make
them. In the same way persons who
insist on purchasing French wines
are accommodated by Californians
sending their juice of the grape to
France in hogsheads to come back
in bottles. The trip across and back
is paid for by vain and prodigal
Americans. Peoria makes an ocean
of whisky, but there is everywhere
an insistence on Kentucky brands.
If it gratifies the feminine purchas-
ers to have their dresses come from
Paris, from Paris they shall come;
it helps the governments revenue
immensely. 1t will compel hundreds
of American dressmakers to live
abroad, but people with whims will
have to pay for all that. Perhaps
the dressmakers can make the cos
tunes in New Y ork or Philadelphia,
ship them over, where the French
tags can be sewed on them, and ship
them back again. This ought to be
satisfactory. There are people who
would rather have a toothbrush la
beled "made in England" costing
rs cents, out of which all the bris-
ties come in three weeks, than one
made in this country for so cents;
or lead pencil "made in Germany"
that you could drive IN the wall for
a picture nail without the lead break
ing. There's a lot in the notion
500, 100000, it seems, for the dress
makers.

The Fence Law.
TooNE, Sept. 81, 1902.
DEAR BULLETIN.


DEAR BULLETIN.
l wish to give my views on
the present fence and stock law.
The make-shift is going to starve
the people by driving out hog and
sheep raising. l know several men
who had nice focks of sheep who
have sold them because they could
not keep up sheep and hogs. 1 had
fifty odd head last spring but have
sold all but twenty head.
Look where meat is now, and with
prospects of going higher.
l know Of several men that have
not got hog, while our woods are
full of hog feed. My farm is on
Glover Greek and we have beechnuts
and other feed that hogs will eat, in
great abundance.
Now how can we keep hogs on
such crops as we have had for the
past two years?
Besides, the present law gives the
thief a good chance, by turning any
number of your hogs out of your en-
closure, and after decoying them in
to his field can swear to and prove
damages by some one of like calibre
and you must pay damages and cost,
when really you ought to be the one
to sue for trespass.
This part of the state has plenty
Of timber lands and other lands that
will make something for hog to
eat, but is not fit to farm on.
So, you see, it is cheaper TO fence
our farms than 10 fence stock.
p. S.: Give us the no fence law,
and that will knock out the stock
pea, which is good for hogs and the
vines a fine hay feed for sheep, cat
tie and horses.
Now, Mr.. BULLETIN, these are
facts. OLD CITIZEN.

Common Sense.

"There is no short cut to human
happiness.
"Not laws, but education will
solve our problems and do away
with the hideous suffering that fol-
lows inequality of distribution.
''The sun rose billions of years
ago; yet gas, lamps, and electric
lights lend cheer and brightness the
world over. Aud out in the meadow
little glow-worms light the path for
loves wings to fly, irrespective of
the fact that the sun has risen in
China, and will rise here to-mor-
row."
"EverYthing is old or new, stale
or fresh, according to our point of
view"
"When 1 encounter the blase
youth who is disenchanted with life
because he has seen, felt and expe-
rienced everything, l am amused by
his egotism and sorry for his blind
ness"
SIT is no evidence Of larger expe-
rience to be blase. 1t is only an
evidence of undeveloped powers of
approaching small miracles and vast
blessings-or else it is an indicate on
of impaired indigestion and over
taxed emotions
"There is no great hand of des-
tiny drawing us through space
against our will. We are destiny,
and each controls himself. Each of
us lives subject to the laws eternally
just; and each, subject to those fair
laws, can make himself what he
will"

THE municipal legislators of St.
Louis have for the past ten years,
by system of Doodle operations,
secured over million dollars for
valuable franchises and parceled it
out among themselves. No bill of
Importance passed the assembly
without money being paid. The
corruptionists had regular sched-
ule of prices, running from one
hundred dollars for excavations to
one thousand for switch privileges
and two hundred and fifty thousand
for franchises. A determined and
fearless official, Circuit Attorney
Joseph w. Folk, native of
Brownsville, Tenn, has secured
the indictments of thirty men,
charged with perjury and bribery,
and the grand jury continues in SEES
sion from day to day, probing into
the official acts of this and former
municipal assemblies, piling up ev-
idence that is bound to result in the
Indictment of numerous other law
breakers. Almost every one of the
indicted men is wealthy, several
being millionaires, while most of
them stand high in the community.
Some have been tried and convict
ed, others are fugitives in foreign
countries, while the remainder are
awaiting trial either in Jail or out
on bond. Speaking of his efforts
to cleanse the municipal govern
ment of St. Louis, Mr.. Folk in a
recent interview said:
81 want to teach the legislator
that he holds his Office as a public
trust and not for private gain; that
the official powers he possesses do
not belong to him personally, but
to the people. L want to make it
Improbable for man to hold pub
lie office merely as a means of max
ing a livelihood easier than he can
in private life. The official who
takes a bride violates the sacred
trust imposed in him. If all official
acts were for sale, then government
would soon become the debauching
tyranny of the few with wealth
enough to purchase official conduct.
The official who takes a bride is
worse than a thief, for he not only
plumbers, but he betrays a sacred
trust as we'll. He is worse than a
murderer. The murderer may only
take one life against the law, while
the corrupt official makes the pas
sage of laws a matter of bargain
and sale and taints the very foun-
tain Of the law itself. He is worse
than the anarchist, for the anarch-
ist is opposed to all government,
while the corrupt official, under the
guise of responsibility and the cloak
of the law, sells that which does
not belong to him but to the peo-
pie and prostitutes himself to venal
ends for his own enrichment.
These are the words of an honest
man, who respects public trust,
knows and does his duty. If there
were more men like Joseph Folk
the country would be the better
for it.

Vernon was so cautious to speak
not in haste that he brings to my

Time to me this truth has taught,
IT'S a truth that's worth revealing,
More offend for want of thought
Than from any want of feeling.
If advice we would convey
There's time should give it;
If we've but a word to say
There's tone in which TO say it.
Oft, unknowingly, the tongue
Touches a chord so aching,
That a word or accent wrong
Pains the heart almost TO break ing.
Many a tear of wounded pride,
Many fault of human blindness,
Has been sOothed or turned aside
BY a quiet voice of kindness.
Time to me this truth has taught,
IT'S truth that's worth revealing
More offend for want of thought
Than from any want of feeling.

WHEN a citizen of the United
States can go abroad and buy goods
manufactured in this country for
twenty per cent, less than he can
buy the same goods at home, there
is certainly something radically
wrong. Such is the case, the tariff
is the cause and the republican par
ty is responsible for its existence.
Where is the justice in selling to
foreigners cheaper than to our own
people? The Ubiquitous system
protects the few and makes the
many pay tribute. Put democrats
in power and this unfair discrimi-
nation will no longer exist.
