CURRENT CONTENT.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)
says: "Some wonder is expressed as
to what the Colombians expected Min
lister Baupre to say or not to say.
There was really nothing for him TO
say. The United States government
presented something in the nature of
an ultimatum, and the Colombian
government 'ultimated back. 1t is
probable that the Colombians will
yield essential points in time. Till
then the world can wait for the ca
nal. There are plenty of people to do
all the shipping without it"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
Secretary Hitchcock manifests some
disposition to minimize the frauds in
the land office because they were not
brought to his attention through the
regular channels. 1t may be remem-
bered that Mr.. Payne assumed the
same attitude when the postal rotten
ness was disclosed. The extreme so
licitude Of federal officers for the pres
ervation of strict regularity may be
commendable, but why is it displayed
only upon occasions when scoundrel-
ism is threatened with exposure?"
The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says: In 1869 the pensions, in
round numbers, cost $2s.OO0,O 900 and the
interest on the public debt $l3O.000,-

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
They took a little gravel,
And they took a little tar,
With various ingredients
Imported from afar.
They hammered it and rolled it,
And when they went away
They said they had a pavement
That would last for many a day.
But they came with picks and smote it
To lay a water main;
And then they called the workmen
To put it back again.
To run a railway cable
They took it up some more;
And then they put it back again
Just where it was before.
They took it up for conduits.
To run the telephone,
And then they put it back again
AS hard as any stone.
They took it up for wires
To feed the lectric light,
And then they put 1t back again,
Which was no more than right.
Oh, the payement's full of burrows;
There are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon it,
i But it's seldom that you dare.
It's a very handsome pavement,
A credit to the town;
They're always diggin' of it up
Or putin of it down.

STIRRING UP THE MIGRANTS.

The new Vagrancy law, passed by
the Legislature at its recent session,
seems to be achieving good results.
We have received reports from cor
respondents in Wilkes, Dooley and
other counties all to the effect that
the law is being enforced, that 1t is
making labor more plentiful than for a
number of seasons past, and that the
farmers are experiencing little or no
difficulty in securing all of the hands
wanted for harvesting the cotton crop.
This does not mean that the pay for
cotton picking has been reduced, on ac-
count of an increased labor supply.
The fact is that the price of cotton
picking is to 10 cents per 100 pounds
higher this season than it was two sea-
sons ago. with an abundance of work
for everybody who will work. The stir
ring of the Migrants out of their loaf
ing places and the good prices obtain
ing for cotton picking will likely have
effect in the rapid gathering and mar
keting of the current crop of the state.
- In operation the vagrancy law issapt
to be of benefit not only to employers
of labor but as we'll to those against
whom it is aimed. The idle and thrift
less will be forced to work, and work.

and nurtures the seeds of industry,

lagos and cities will be we'll rid of
vicious class that makes most of
the business for the courts, the jails,
the penitentiary and the gallows.
There has been some attempts on the
part of New England newspapers to
create the impression that the new
law was designed especially to be en-
forced against the negroes. That is not
| correct. 1t is probably true that more
blacks than whites viii feel the weight
of the law, but it will be only for
the reason that there are more black
than white idlers and loafers. Under
the terms of the law there is no dis
! tinction between races or previous
! conditions Definitions in the law are
very full and clear, and all who come
within their terms, without favor or
| prejudice. are liable to the penalties.
And it appears that, at least in the
country districts the officials are pro-
ceeding with the determination to en-
force the law as they find it. We
hope to see similar official zeal in the
cities.

John Bull is having the mirror held
up to him in a manner that must be
decidedly unpleasant. Sir Thomas Lip
ton some days ago showed him that
he was an old fogy in his manners and
customs, that the Americans were far
in advance of him in many matters,
and that he would have to mend his
ways in important particulars if he
hoped to keep up with the march of
progress. Sir Thomas had especial
reference to the commercial and manu-
featuring side of British life. But, ac-
cording to the Bishop of Ripon, the
Duke of Devonshire, Lord Meath and
some inspectors of the war Office, the
physical as well as the commercial and
manufacturing sides of British life is
deteriorating in a marked degree.
During the debates in the House of
Lords in July, Lord Meath made a
speech on the condition of the poor,
which he described as terrible. The
Bishop of Ripon agreed with him, and
detailed conditions as he had found
them in his work as a churchman
ne SdiQ lHdI a ldISe pelCcitld5N
of the children in the public schools
were physically unfit to receive in
struction, being improperly clothed,
poorly nourished and suffering from or
subject to a variety of ailments. The
Duke of Devonshire admitted that the
cOuntry's military and industrial out
look was seriously threatened. A high
officer in the armys medical service
has recently reported that one man in
every three offered as recruits had to
be rejected because of physical short
comings. In view of these statements
from personages of such Importance,
the Lords ordered an investigation and
provided for a commission, which was
few days ago appointed. An inquiry
will be made at once. Commenting on
the purposes of the commission the
London Chronicle said in part: IF
the mass of the people are going down.

that they are going downhill in char

by his own people, is not in the least
fiattering. But John has the courage
to face it. He is beginning to see that
something serious is the matter with
him, and, like the self-appreciative fell
low that he is, he will take steps to
get himself into good shape again.
Many unkind things have been said
about John Bull, but nobody has ever
accused him of being a weakling or a
fool. When he is ailing he has got
sense and pluck enough to take strong
medicine if it is necessary.

Trial by Presidents commissioners is
something new in this country. Messrs.
Conrad and Bonaparte, it seems, are to
go over the Tulloch charges against
certain officials of the Postoffice De-
partment and express opinions on the
merits of the cases. No indictments
will follow the report of the special
commissioners, because of the interven-
ing of the statute of limitations. How
ever, the President is said to be very
anxious that the whole matter shall
be gone over very carefully, so that if
the persons named in the charges are
not guilty they shall be vindicated,
and eff they are guilty this fact may
go on record" May commission
brand as thief a man who cannot be
convicted of his thievery, because of
the statute of limitations, and who cam
not have chance to disprove the
charge against him before legally
constituted court of law, for the same
reason? This seems to be out of line
with the spirit of our institutions. 1t
looks, by the way, as if big bucket
of whitewash We're being prepared.

Senator Beveridge of Indiana ate
a hearty meal in the railroad restau-

day; then felt through his pockets and
found he didn't have a cent. He told
the waiter that he was a United States
Senator, but that functionary grinned
and said the game wouldn't work; it
was too old. The manager was called.
He looked Mr.. Beveridge over and
asked if he had any means of identi-
flying himself The Senator reached
into an inside pocket and brought
forth a bunch of railroad free passes.
That satisfied the restaurant man.

story. 1t shows that the junior Sem
ator from Indiana and the senior Sem
ator from South Carolina are states
men of the same school in at least
one respect-in their appreciation of

benevolently assimilating these peo-

the job ever since. Twenty-Five years

of about five years since that time
similar notices have been sent in by

Dutch lives have been expended in the
