Leroy Beaulieu, well-known econ
omist of Paris, has declared that the
leisure class of men will have to work
for their living in 1859. He made this
interesting statement in a lecture on
the conversion of the French three and
one-half per cent. debt into three per
cent bonds. He said that the rate of
interest is constantly decreasing, and
predicted that in the next rs years
capital will be glad to get two per
cent, and that so years hence such
tirst-class securities as government
bonds and railway securities will bear
one per cent. interest, which" said
the lecturer, will compel all except
the very large capitalists TO work for a
living, and the leisure of the class of
people now called well off will be abol-
ished."

THOUGHT GUN BEWITCHED.
Why the Old Negro Threw 1t Away
and Would Not Touch II
Again.

A story is told Of Uncle Washington
Harris, one of "Marse Clay's niggers
afore de war" who remained on the
plantation after he was set free. He
was considered a power among the
negroes, being somewhat of a local
preacher, says the New York Tribune,
but he said: Use list exhortioner
'mong de congregation"
Once when Uncle "Wash" was Eek
hortioning 'mong de congrega ton"
the Ku Klux came after him, and, as
the old man hurriedly beat an exit
through a window, one of the Ku Klux
got the tail of his Prince Albert coat.
that "Marse Clay" had given him. and
which the old darkey was very proud
o. From that time Uncle 'Wash" al
ways carried an old long-barreled
shotgun.
The neighbors were in the habit of
meeting at night at Bob" Clay's coun-
try store to tell yarns and talk about
the crops. Uncle "Wash" and sew
eral other old colored men, were al
ways present, sitting on nail kegs a
respectable distance behind ode white
folks to hear de warns" On these oc-
casions Uncle "Wash" always left his
gun in the rear Of the store.
One night "Buck" Allen. who never
was tired of playing Jokes on the old
man. got his gun. and. after drawing
the shot from it, loaded it with pow
der and PHOSPHORUS wood as wad
ding, then another load Of powder and
more PHOSPHORUS wood, repeating
this till there were several loads of
powder and wood in the gun. ramming
down the last charge of powder with
an extra long piece of wood. "Buck"
dropped a coal on it and went back
to his seat.
If phosphorous wood is lighted, the
fire will eat very slowly through il,
and act as fuse. Uncle "Wash" took
M his gun and started home. and was
several hundred yards from the store
which the spark reached the first
charge Of powder and exploded it,
which greatly perplexed the old man,
hut he attributed it to an accident.
When the second explosion occurred
he fell on his knees and prayed. but
when the third came he threw the pun
from him into the bushes and ran for
dear life. AS Uncle "Wash" burst
in the front door to the CONSERVATION
~ his wife and fell sprawling on the
Hoor hvete~i~allv rroving, he heard
the last charge exnlode.
Uncle Wash" never went back for
his gun. and conld never he convinced
"speerets" were not in that cole tur-
kee gun" and that it was not be-
witched.

Mexican paper comes forward
with the suggestion that If Cuba ever
grows weary of single blessedncss the
big and hospitable Mexican union
would welcome her as a sister state.''
This idea is more unique than start
ling, for hardly anything in Cuha's flu
ture is more improbable than that it
should elect to become a part Of Next
co. However, it opens a field for
speculation and arouses a little wonder
as to what Uncle Sam would do if
Cuba, in giving up independence, pre-
ferred to be annexed to Mexico rather
than to this country. 1t is difficult to
sec just how the Monroe doctrina could
be twisted around to cover Il case like
that, and it is probable that Uncle
sam would be obliged to invent Il
special doctrine or policy to meet the
emergency.

a constant reader OF the Dayton Volks-

aims to advertise only the best in its

ing a bottle of it for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: after using
the Pain Balm for few days my wife
said to me, I feel as though born
anew and before using the entire con-
tents of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household duties"
He is very thankful and hopes that all
suffering likewise will hear of her won

nor Hill. his admirable record in the
executive chair and party custom
made it the duty of the Republicans of
Maine to accord him a nomination for
n second term, and the enthusiasm and
heartinesS with which they did it
showed that it was pleasure as well
as duty. The resolutions of the con-
vention speak for themselves. They
enunciate with clearness and force Re-
publican principles, and the attitude of
the party on all important political
questions, both as regards the nation
and the State. AS regards national
questions. the belief of the party in
protection is reaffirmed, the gold
standard is endorsed, regulation OF
monopolies advocated, aid for shipping
recommended and the foreign policies
of the administration warmly APP
proved. The planks relating to State
matters which will attract attention
are the one relating to prohibition
which is much stronger than for many
years past, demanding the continuance
of the law and its enforcement, and
that recommending the enactment of a
law to regulate the primaries.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature
Of the Republican State convention
which was held in City hall. yesterday
was its size. When it is remembered
that there was no contest impending.
that throughout the length and breadth
Of the State there was no breath Of OPP
position to the denomination of the Hon
John +. Hill, and no radical difference
of opinion as to what doctrines and
policies the party should enunciate-it
is remarkable that three-quarters of all
the delegates chosen should have been
present in person. For many of them
this involved 4 journey of several hun
dred miles, at time of year. too, when
business is pressing. and when it is ex-
ceedingN hard to get away" No bet
ter proof of the earnest interest and the
enthusiasm of the Republican voters of
this state could be afforded. No surer
test of the readiness of Republicans to
make sacrifices of their personal con-
venience and of their personal interests
for the general welfare. When men
will journey hundreds of miles to at
tend q political convention which offers
no exciting question we can safely as
sumo that they and the people they
represent are thoroughly alive to pub
lie affairs and to the importance of per-
sonal interest and participation in
them. and so long as such interest con-
tinues we need have no fear that the
State will not be well governed.
1t is not necessary to comment at
length upon the convention. 1t was
made up of an earnest body of repre-
sentative men, representative not only
of their party, but of the intelligence.
