HARD TIMES IN ENGLAND.

Although some of the leading news
/ papers. particularly in New York. and
some writer's of prominence on econom-
fc subjects. insist that We are ap-
proaching hard times in this country.
| there are no signs to justify them in
the position they take in this matter.
our factories are running on fuk time
and most of them have orders ahead
for many months. The farmers have
good crops and they are getting fair
prices. There is no reason therefore
for the predictions which. every once
in awhile, crop out in the public prints.
except that there is altogether to much
speculation in business enterprises as
we'll as i'm the exchanges. 1t is fact
that periods Of excessive speculation
and reckless investment in all sorts of
enterprises are followed by periods OF
liquidation, and it is probable that the
present period of prosperity will be
followed by a period of depression, but
there is no reason for expecting de-
preston in the very near future-next
year or the year after.
1t may be that the rather depressed
condition of affairs in England is the
cause of the gloomy predictions rela-
tive to this country. 1t is stated in
the dispatches that there are many
thousands of wage earners out of en-
ployment in England, and that in East
London, at the dockyards, men literal
ly fight for a chance for days work.
The newspapers are filled with appeals
for assistance for the poor, saying that
children lack sufficient nourishment
and that vast numbers of men and
women who are willing to work, in
deed, earnestly seeking work, are on
the verge OF starvation. There is no
doubt from all accounts that there are
hard times in London for the poor, and
the incomes of the rich have been very
much reduced within the last few
years.
And there is talk of a strike that
will rival the great strike of the en-
gineers two years ago, Notwithstanding
the difficulty there is in getting work.
1t seems that the shipbuilders have
determined to submit no longer to the
exactions of the unions. They purpose
introducing American machinery, thus
reducing the cost of building ships and
at the same time enabling them to in
crease their output. The men employ
ed in the shipyards are against addi-
tional output and against labor-saving
machines. 1t is expected therefore
that within a few weeks one of the big
gest strikes ever known in England
Will be inaugurated.
In this country the trusts hold out
the idea that they can avert hard
times to a great extent. OF course they
can do no such thing, and it is to be
hoped they will not have the oppor-
tunity to show whether or not they
can, but if hard times should come it
is quite certain they will be more un-
popular than they are at present. They
will be charged with being one of the
causes of the hard times.

If you are suffering from kidney or

you desire to urinate often, and are
you compelled to get up frequently

pain you? Does your urine stain linen?
Is there scalding pain in passing 1t,
and is it difficult to hold the urine
back? If SO, your kidneys or bladder

The Saturday afternoon concerts in
the city market by the First Regiment
Band are becoming quite a feature In
deed, they seem 20 be that long sought
for something new under the sun" A
concert by a brass band in a park is
nothing new, but for housekeepers to
buy their rSasts and vegetables in a
public market TO the strains of a full
military band. is certainly a novel idea.
1t ought to be patentable. The weary
housewife who makes a trip to the
market of a Saturday afternoon so as
TO get something extra for the Sun
day dinner is apt to forget her trials
and tribulations when the band
strikes up The Honeysuckle and the
Bee or 'some sprightly air in two
step time. She feels like girl again,
and no doubt in many instances wishes
that she were. Possibly the best
music she hears on her street is that
of the organ grinder and the most en-
tertaintng show she sees is the funny
monk" that accompanies the swarthy
son of Italy who turns the organs
crank. When the band plays, the
heavy market basket does not seem so
heavy, and the tired feet are not quite
so tired as they were before. The
band in the market ought certainly to
stir some poet to song.

Why Heaven Has Only One Lawyer.
1t was Senator Platt's turn to go
down before joke to-day, and the Con-
necticut statesman bowed in silence
and yielded. says the Washington cor
respondence of the New York Tribune.

cloak room, Mr.. Platt went at him Wig

"The-er-what? inquired Mr.. Platt,
doubtfully.
Never heard of that? Why, it was
this way: Once upon a time, before
corporations grew into trusts, there
was an honest lawyer who got into
Heaven. Well, he wasn't much on the
high notes of the golden harps, and his
soul was somewhat bored. so he start

THE FRANCHISE BILL.

! II looks very much as If the Senate
wOul ] follow the lead of the House and
pass the Gambler franchise bill. or
some modification of that bill. but if
the legislature does pass such bill
1t ought to take into consideration the
| question of the proba bility that a law
! taxing franchises will be resisted in
the courts. and that IL may take a cou-
pie of years to reach a final decision.
In the arguments which were made be-
fore the Senate Committee on Satur-
day. against the bill. it was pointed
out that there was doubt as to
the constitutionallty OF the bill as 1t
is framed.
We call attention TO this matter sim
ply because it seems TO us that 1t
would be a mistake for the Legislature
to make appropriations greatly be-
yond the states certain income, and
thus create a floating dept of several
hundred thousand dollars a year. II
is true that if the law We're contested
and decided In favor of the state the
tax from the time of the assessment
of the franchises would have to be
paid. but in the meantime the state
would have to borrow a large amount
on which it would have to pay inter-
est, and money could not be obtained
on as favora BILE terms as the state has
been borrowing it If there We're a GER
tainty of a deficiency the following
year and a doubt as to whether the
state would win its suit for the fran
chise tax. If the state should lose the
franchise case It's financial affairs
would be In a deplorable condition.
We have seen it estimated that If
the tax rate were to be fixed at 5.23 mills
and the appropriation bill were TO be
passed in its present shape the def
cheney would amount to about $500, 900.
The probability is that it would be
great deal more The fact must not
be overlooked that last year, notwith-
standing the fact that a very large
amount-several hundred thousand dol
lars-was taken from the public prop
erty fund and transferred to the gen.
eral fund, the state had to borrow this
year, for the school teachers. about
$l50,0O0. Assuming that the deficiency
this year, on the basis of the tax rate
and the appropriations which have
been agreed upon, will amount to $780,
900 the total deficiency would be about
A50, 900. If the franchise fight in the
courts should last two years the state
would be in debt close on to a $l,0OO,-
900, and, that too, without any way
of getting out of its financial difficult
ties except by an increase in the tax
rate. 1t is easy to see that an alarm
ing tax rate would be necessary under
such circumstances.
AS we pointed out some days ago, 1t
would be much the wiser plan for the
state to keep strictly within it's as
sured income-to cut down appropria-
tons or increase the tax rate. 1t
would be mistake to appropriate sew
eral hundred thousand dollars more
than the state is likely to get from
its present sources of income, simply on
the expectation that the additional
amount will be obtained from the tax
on franchises.

A New York paper prints a specific
for the laziness germ, recently tiscov-
cred by Prof. Stiles of the federal De-
partment of Agriculture and concern
ing which we made some remarks a
day or two ago. Whether the cure"
is on authority or not is not stated by
the paper which gives the formula as
follows: 1.-TWO grams (S1 grains) of
thymol, at 6 a. m. Repeat dose at 10
a. m. Dose of castor oil or magnesia
at noon. Diet of milk or SOUP" The
careful following of this prescription,
it is claimed will cause the LATEST
man to quit his seat in the sunshine
and get out and pillow or pick cotton.
There is another report that "a serum
has been perfected which cures lazi-
ness. The same paper says that dose
of, the serum was given secretly to the
LATEST clerk in the Pension Office in
Washington, who had never been
known to get to the Office less than
fifteen minutes late. The morning
after he was dosed he bounced out of
bed at o'clock, went whistling
and singing to his bath. jumped into
his clothes like a fireman in training,
ate a big breakfast in record breaking
time and reached the Office before the
doors were opened. Such preposterous
statements. however, are calculated to
throw a dark cloud OF suspicion over
the whole matter. We are rather in
clined TO the opinion that the New
York paper has been trying TO get gay
over this very serious matter Of the
capture Of the laziBess germ

Congressman Brownlow of Tonnes
see has introduced into the House a
bill for the construction of good reads,
at federal government ex )en5e, in all
parts of the. country. In view of the
bill, it is hardly necessary to state
that Congressman Brownlow is a Re-
publican. He wants appropriations, and
is not very particular as to what they
are for. Good roads. as a matter of
course, are very desirable. We cannot
have too many of them. And in certain
instances 1t might be we'll enough FOR
the general government to pay for
them But anything like a general
road building policy of the part of the
federal government would open the
way for abuses and jobbery. Under Mr..
Brownlows bill Georgia would proba-
bly, get something like $1,000, 900 of I'm
Gle Sans money. The best way to get
good roads is to let the people who
would benefit by them. put up the
money for them.

When Muzaffer-ed-Din, Shah of Per-
STA, was in Paris recently it was re-
marked that he seemed to suffer from
ennui. 1t was thought at the time
that he missed the companionship Of
his 100 wives and was therefore mel
ancholy. 1t transpires, however, ac-
cording to a Paris dispatch, that he
was really envious of the happy con-
dition of European monarchs who had
only one wife each, and upon his re-
turn home he determined to make some
concessions to Western ideas in the
marriage line. To this end, therefore,
and in his search for domestic happi-
ness. he has reduced his household
from LOO to so wives. What he did
with the 1.o40 Divorces is not stated.
but as It seemssto be the proper thing
in Persia for the Shah to marry off
his superfuous wives from time TO
time to officers OF his army. that is
probably the course that was pur-
sued.
