build its own independent line to
connection with the Des Moines & FIT.

IS IT POSSIBLE 2?

The case of Mrs. Bella Iuchs, wife of a Kansas City butcher, is attracting some attention. Mrs. Iuchs got herself into serious trouble and also into jail by buying goods she was unable to pay for and having them charged to other people. It appears that she loved her children not too well, but unwisely. She wanted to keep them as well dress ed as those of any of her neighbors. As her husbands income was small, she found this a hard thing to do. At last she allowed her pride in her children to overcome honesty and began getting them pretty clothes by disreputable means. The Kansas City Journal has been meditating on the case and it comes to the conclusion that there are many other women who attain the same end almost as reprehensibly. the main difference between them and Mrs. Iuchs being that they have too much shrewd- ness and prudence to lay themselves liable. to criminal prosecution. They allow their false pride to overmaster their judgment, and, in their efforts to keep up" with their neighbors who are better off than they. they spend more money on their households and their own and their children's clothes than their husbands incomes will allow. In this way many heads of families have their noses held constantly to the grindstone, no matter what efforts they make to increase their incomes. But many women do not stop even with making their husbands lives an incessant straining to make ends meet" Thousands of them, when the family income proves inadequate to satisfy their unreasonable demands, run big bills with the grocer, the dry goods merchant and the clothier which they have no good ground for believing they will ever be able to pay.
 Is it possible that women have come to this? It has been asserted that wo- men are kind. economical and honest, while men are known to be cruel, ex- travagant and dishonest. If what the Kansas City Journal says is true there are some assertions that need with draWal or revision.

Amy ( hnpiains,

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: There is feeling abroad, that the government has inadvertently done in- justice to army chaplains; but army chaplains are very patient and have not complained. Common justice, however, has caused a bill to be introduced into congress to compensate to some degree army chaplains for what they have lost in pay and promotion. ~. ....
 When young man feels the blood of patriotism thrilling in his veins, and leaves the home of his childhood, his relatives and friends, and goes to West Point or to Annapolis to fit himself for military service. and then enters the army or navy and offers his life's ser vice, yea, If need be, his very life. for his country, his fellow men consider that nothing is too good for him in the way of pay and promotion. What will not man give for his life?" The way is open for officers to be advanced step by step from the lowest to the highest grade in the army and navy, for brav- cry in battle. or for long and faithful service. In due time men may become generals and admirals, and the nation approves and applauds.
 The same opportunity is open and off, fered to surgeons in both army and navy for promotion, as they peril their lives in battle. and are deprived of the comforts of their old homes. Even chaplains in the navy have corps and enjoy the advantages of promotion. Army chaplains, however, have never had the right to promotion. They never have but one rank, that of captain, and by some strange fit of economy until recently. when on active duty they have had the pay of a lieutenant, which was called fixed pay" No matter how much clergyman feels the thrill of patriotism he cannot secure the ap- pointment of Chaplain unless he sig nalizes himself in some way. and then he will probably be sent away off from civilization and perhaps be shut up in the Rocky mountains for quarter of a century where he would have chunks of solitude" and see plenty of Indians and grizzly bears. In some lonely fort he would preach the gospel, make him. self generally useful, and bury the poor soldier boys when they die. Probably he would not see a brother minister once !n ten years. He would visit the hospital every day, and comfort the poor sick soldiers. and try to make their lives more cheerful. When he is sixty-four years of age he is put on the retired list. He then returns to eiviliza- ton, but he has passed the dead line" and cannot be pastor of a church. and he finds that he has dropped out of the stream of events.> He mixed among peo- pie. but he feels from his long absence

Even great men make mistakes, and some great men are not ashamed to confess that they can blunder. In MT. Morley's biography of Gladstone it is set down that two years before his death Mir Gladstone wrote the follow ing: I have yet to record an undoubted error, the most singular and palpable- may add the least excusable of them all, especially since it was committed so late as the year 1862, when had outlived half a century. In the autumn of that year, and in speech delivered after a public dinner at Newcastle-on- Tyne, I declared in the heat of the American struggle that Jefferson Davis had made a nation; that is to say, that the division of the American republic by the establishment of southern or secession state was an accomplished fact. That my opinion was founded upon a false estimate of the facts was the very least part of my fault. I did not perceive the gross impropriety of such an utterance from a cabinet min ister of a power allied in blood and lan- guage and bound to loyal neutrality; the case being further exaggerated by the fact that we were already, so to speak, under indictment before the world for not Gas was alleged) having strictly enforced the laws of neutrality in the matter of the cruisers. My of fence was, indeed, only a mistake, but one of incredible grossness, and with such consequences of offence and alarm attached to it that my failing to per- ceive them justly exposed me to very severe blame.
 This was indeed an undoubted error, and MT. Gladstone's perception of 1t seems to have been complete even if 1t was late.

BLACK MANS BURDEN.

The white mans burden is heavy, but so is the red mans and the black mans. A correspondent of one of the London papers protests most vigorously against the proposal of the Chartered Company 10 raise the native tax in Southern Rhodesia from s2.50 to $10. He declares that this effort to squeeze money out of the wretched Mashona is utterly unjus- tifiable. He points out that when the Chartered Company established itself in Rhodesia the natives were prosperous members of rich nation. They pos sessed a large quantity of stock. and were not yet despoiled by commerce
 Since then practically the whole of their cattle has been swept off by the ruinous plague which settled on the country a few years ago-introduced, very proba- ply, by the cattle officially imported through Portuguese territory, as Dr. Koch explains in his report on the sub- ject-and the demand for native labor which was active for time has unset- tied them and interrupted their agricul- tural industry. Now the remnants of their flocks and herds are doomed, and the demand for labor has subsided. Large numbers of natives are tramping from place to place looking for work, and not finding it. Such Mashonas as obtain employment are well paid at g to s month, and when they have been superseded in the mines by Asi- atics, Rhodesia will not be able to fur nish one-tenth of her natives with agricultural work. The bulk of Rho desian Kaffirs are Mashona, and a lower type of savage than the Mashona, says the correspondent, does not exist in South Africa; not only is he inher- ently cowardiy and bestial, but his mental endowment is despicable, and he is physically unsound. He is of very little use in mining or in any thing else. It is as much as he can do to scrape together his tax money now, and a further impost would drive him to desperation. That would mean an armed rebellion, with murder arson, and outrage; to be put down a little later on with relentless severity and wholesale slaughter. 7

that socially he is somewhat isolated. His longevity pay is so meager that he cannot have a home, so he fits around among the boarding houses where he survives. but does not live according to his standing and tastes.
 Now there is a bill :n congress to make some compensation to army chap lains. This bill would authorize the president to select some efficient chap lains. not to exceed ten, and advance them to the grade of major. This bill was intended to relieve chaplains. but it has some serious defects:
 l. It would create an inequality among chaplains.
 ?. Many faithful chaplains would not be rewarded.
 It is thought that a better way to &C., com3lish this result would be to ad- vance chaplains in the army at the time of retirement one grade. This plan pos sesses several distinct advantages:
 l. It would be in harmony with the general usage of the army, viz: To ad-

-. SOM gs SUGAR.

This isn't exactly a sweet world, but there is much sugar in it. According to Willett and Gray's last estimate, the total production of sugar in the world this year will be 10,425,S0O tons, an in- crease of more than half a million tons over the figures of the previous year. Such an amount is almost incompre- hensible, for it means 23, ,353, ,Ts2, 900 pounds. Of all countries producing cane sugar Cuba stands first, for her crop is estimated at 1,13o,o00 tons. Sec ond as a producer comes Java, with S50,000 tons; third, the Hawaiian Isl- ands, with 375,000 tons, and fourth, Louisiana, with 24O,OoO tons. All told, in the United States there is produced s35,OO0 tons of cane and 233,OO0 tons of beet sugar. This includes the product of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip pines, bringing the total production of sugar in the United States and all her possessions up to 1,06S,0 900 tons. That is an enormous total, and yet it is not one-half of what we consume. If add ed to all this domestic and insular su-
 gar we took the entire crop of Cuba we still should be short of the amount that we consumed last year by almost 37O,OOO tons, and to make up this deficiency it would require practically the entire crop of the two greatest sugar-raising countries of South America-Brazil and Peru. Should our consumption of sugar show an increase for this year in the same ratio that last years consumption increased over that of the preceding year all the sugar raised in the United States, including it's island possessions, with the entire crop of Cuba, Brazil and Peru added, would still leave a de-

It is related that former resident of this country, named McGroary, recently returned to his old home in Donegal with tons of money" He began teaching the bartenders how to com- pound American drinks-cocktails, highballs and the like. This brought him a large circle of friends. He hired villa and lived in great state. In the evenings nearly all the sports in Done- gal came to see the fine Amerikin gin- tlenan'' in his villa, in Ballyweel. He had entirely too many friends, and the doctor told him that if he did not cut down the number the shades of the long departed Irish snakes would all appear to him. But McGroary was a man of resources, and he knew how to dodge snakes. So he determined to go to the poorhouse; and thither he went, sure enough, in a carriage and pair. After prolonged negotiations and a study of the statistics it was decided that by paying a guinea a week Mr. McGroary might have a room in the penthouse, and there he is at the pres ent time, according to the Dublin Mail, happy as a king, "the wealthiest pauper in Donegal. s.~

A loaf of bread has been on exhibition
 at Mark Lane which was the result of a record breaking experiment at Block ley, England. At S:3O o'clock one morn- ing Messrs. Taylor & Sons. of the Sheaf House farm, Blockley, started to cut field of wheat. As fast as the sheaves were cut they were started to the granary, and there threshed and winnowed. These operations took six and one-half minutes. Thence the wheat was taken to the mill of J. H. Painton, and there ground and dressed in five and one-half minutes. At the adjacent bakehouse the flour was made
 into dough and molded into cakes and loaves. Seven small loaves were taken from the oven at g o'clock-thirty min- ntes from the time the wheat was standing uncut. The larger loaves were finished in forty minutes. One was sent to the king and others were pre- sented to Lady Northwich and Lord Redesdale. +-
