THE TIDE WILL. TURN.

The following editorial is tISen
from the Nicksburg American, and is
from the pen Of Mr.. IL. p. st. John. Who
was formerly connected with the
SENTINEL. The article is sound in
logic and sensible throughout. Tie
South's future is bound to be a bright
one, and Mississippi is right In the
middle Of the South. The article
reads:
The representative of the American
spent the last three weeks in the
great northwest, travelling during
that time through Illinois, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Prosperity is in all
this country a degree never before
known, crops promise an immense
yield and the outlook is encouraging
along every line.
\ matter worthy of note is the al
most incredible rise in the value Of
farming lands through that section.
Ten years ago choice farming land in
Martin county. Minnesota could be
bought, for SIS per acre; today the
cheapest land in the county is held at
$40 per acre and sales of choicer tracts
are being made at from $40 to 500
per acre. The great tide of immigra-
tion 10 is to North Dakota and Can
ada but lands in those localities is
selling around the $50 mark. The

opportunity and the thrifty foreigners
from Germany and Sweden came
there with small means and found
cheap homes. This is now changed
and the man who buys a farm in Min
nesOta, Illinois or Iowa must be COM
paratively well to do. Immigrants
are still coming and seeking lands
within their means. Not finding
them any more in the northwest the
tide could be easily turned south
where lands are still within the reach
Vi the comparatively poor. There is
opportunity here for the southern
stateS-an opportunity that has been
too long neglected. The prosperity
of any country depends primarily upon
the products OF its soil. There are
too many untitled acres in Mississppi
which could be made to yield riches
under the care of thrifty foreigners
who could be induced to come here if
they were only acquainted with our
resources and possibilities.
The South is an unknown countr,
the average man in the north and
the pity Of it is that no attempt is
being made to enlighten them.
The Americans advice to every n
who can do 50 is to buy land in Mis-
now. for the day is not far
distant when immigration will be
this way and after the start is
Once made the rise in values will be

Experiments in Europe have shown a
remarkable percentage of cures OBJ
tanned simply by keeping the patient
out of doors in all weathers, wet or
dry. In this country, the plan has been
tried in Boston, where the weather con-
ditions are as bad as anywhere in the
United States. The results have been
uniformly encouraging, showing that
the humidity of the atmosphere is not
SO great a factor as has been supposed.
OF course, the ideal climate for the
cure or alleviation of tuberculosis of
the lungs would be one where the air
is dry and the temperature hign

A Story of the Spells System.

From the Youths Companion
One of the bureaus of the treasury depart
ment, charged with high grade technical work,
recently found that young man on its payroll
was incompetent. He was asked to resign "A
few days afterward, prominent congressman
drove up to the treasury and visited the bureau
which proposed to discharge one CT its con-
stituents. Indeed his visit was expected, and
his errand was known before he stated it.
The reason was soon explained, and the
congressman did not contradict the assertion
that the man was unfit for the place. "But, y"
he asked, chow much were you paying, this
man?'
When he was told that the salary was only
seventy five dollars month, he put the case
thus:
CHOW don't you think my time in congress
is worth more than that to the United States
government? | cannot do my work at the
capitol unless this fellow has place He is
after me all the time and he has influential
friends in the district WHO are chasing me. l
believe it is worth the cost to have me relieved
of this Interruption"
The useless man was accordingly sent back
to his desk, and he will continue to draw his
salary indefinitely. Such ancident as this
grows naturally out of the patronage theory OF
public office, and, in many ways, typical of
what is taking place in the government service
wherever 'political influence" controls ap-
pointments.
Some politicians try to make fun OF civil
service reform. But nothing they can present
in the way of inappropriate examination papers
is so grotesque as the feature of the spois sys-
TEN brought out in the foregoing true story.
To pay man a salary in an executive depart
ment to prevent his Fostering congressman
who ought to tie attending to legislation is the
high water mark of sbsurdity. The theory
that public offices are spoils for the partizan
victor to distribute always means the needless
multiplication of offices, and the bestowal of
them on the basis of favortism. For all such
wastefulness the public pays the bills.

Cannot Earn a Living.

From the Southern Mercury, Dallas, texas,
Director of Charities Cooley, of Clevelane,
O., has stirred up big sensation as a result of
the movement for the abolition Of the dance
halls anG other resorts where young girls are
ruined. Mr.. Cooley is emphatic in the declar-
alton that the average working girl cannot
support herself with any decency and comfort
by the wages she receives. Indeed, he goes so
far as to declare that the average working girl
in the large cities like Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Toledo and Columbus cannot earn enough
under the present industrial system to pay for
their meals and other living expenses.
In speaking of the matter, he said: "The
average working girl in Cincinnati, Columbus,
Toledo, Cleveland and other large cities has
hard row to hoe, and the mystery is how she
lives under the present hard and exacting con-
ditions. The horror of the thing makes any
good man or woman shudder. The tragedy of
the modern industrial and social system is in
deed appalling, and the people of this country
ought to become aroused to these perils SUR
rounding the young people, especially the
young girls, in our large cities,
ne CIucl duu JJuSl SOhuAeiohS ANoAiJ
cause ruin and degradation of life hundred
fold more than the things reformers are most
prone and accustomed to attack.
"My attention has been called to the condi-
tons partially through an examination OF the
official state report of the bureau of labor sta
tistics. A summary OF interviews with 1000
working women in Cincinnati, Columbus and
Cleveland shows the average cost of living to
be $524 per week, and the average wages,
4.S2 per week. Isn't that something to think
over?
eff some of our good Christian men and
women who shed their tears over the wicked
ness of The fallen would devote some of their
energies to removing the causes by changing
the industrial system that grnds the faces OF
the poor they would practice the Christianity
which they profess to believe, but which IN
reality does not consist of prayers made IN
public places and singing of Psalms"

SAYS A PANIC is COMING.

James ]. Hill, the railroad nagnate, says a
great financial panic is near at hand that it
will be hastened by the Venezuelan trouble.
Mr.. Hill says: "Things look serious They
are bad already, and, what is more to the point,
they are destined to grow worse. This country
has reached the top of its prosperity. If the
downward movement has not already begun, it
is not far off.
"There are more reasons than one for this:
Chief among them is the uncertain state of
mind in which the New York men find them
selves from day to day. Uncertainty is the
wo1st thing on earth for the moneyed interests
of a country.
"They fear the United States will be drawn
into war with England and Germany. Many
of them actually expect clash with Germany
Excessive rates are demanded on money. The
men who are long on stocks get panicky, and,
as result, the market slumps off,"
A dispatch from St. Paul discredts Hills
prediction. The dispatch says:
ssJames J. Hills discouraging utterance on
the future had very bad effect on business in
St. Paul, but concensus of opinion of leading
men IN commercial lines IS that MI. I'LL 10
wrong in his estimate of conditions, andtthat
the majority of men best qualified to judge do
not agree with him. 1t is believed Mr.. Hill
errs, either by intent or misrepresentation. The
prosperity of the United States, in the eud,
rests with the farmers, the original producers
of wealth and prosperity. They have had
bountful crops for two years, and prospects are
bright for the third. Never before in the his
tory of the country were conditions more favor
able for the farmers Such state of affairs
does not spell panic, in spite of the opinion OF
Mr.. Hill. Many people suspect Hill had some
hidden object in view in making the state
ments."
The above dispatch is case of whistling to
keep up courage. Mr.. Hill is not the only one
who has recently predicted panic. Russell
Sage, another great fnancier, has made SINH
lar prediction. President Mckinley toresaw it,
and, in speech in Kentucky, not long prior to
his tragic death, he warned his hearers to be
careful and frugal against the time of prob
able financial panic.

THE cost OF the allied party to the state at
the recent election was about $4,000. The
candidate for governor did not spend cent for
campaign expenses. Isn't it about time for
this state so to amend its ballot laws that a
gang OF cheap gralters cannot spend state money
for the qualification of their own personal thirst
for glory?-Topeka Herald (Rep)
While you are about it, General, would it
not be we'll to so amend the law that nobody
can vote unless he votes your way? That is
the trend of our present law, and it will not
require much amending to make it just as your
gIea, IiOe1al soul would have it. All the cleo
tor would have to do to entitle him to vote
would be to wear badge inscribed, General
]. K. Hudson--his man." This would neces-
state but one small ballot, and would save the
state lot of money. There was once cleo
ton at Jerusalem. Christ and Barabas were
the opposing candidates. Christ did not get
vote, He may have been regarded as CRATER.
But, whether that is so or not, no doubt PLATE,
like you General was worried about the
amount Christ cost the state.
