MISGUIDED FRIENDS.

We are surprised to find the wild
and aud extravagant proposal to
pension ex slaves actually endorsed
by number of Southern organi-
| zatIOus
There seems to be two leading
thoughts IN the proposal to sup
port he ex-slave pension bill.
1t gives II chance to ruid the
trrnsut, and an opportunity to get
"a division Of the spoiIs MS the
ignorant ex slaves would not hold
on t" their bounty.
But Camp Hnrdee No. 80 U. G.
VS. 1T Birmingham, endorses the
proposed raid aud supports it for
these reasons:
ave sincerely hope that Con
Kress will act upon it and give to
nll worthy ex slaves who are in
real need Of Il pension sufficient to
keep them from suffering aud
want. A most kindly feeliug (nl-
most that of conradp>hip) prompts
us to express ourselves in this
matter, realizing the fact that the
Southern slave was not the cause
by any act Of his own, of the shed
ding Of one drop Of blood in the
civil war. On the contrary, he
remained on the farms peaceable
aud quietly laboring day by day
without murmur to feed and
clothe the Southern army fighting
at the front.
"Since the war he has been law
abiding and industrious and the
smallest number has been guilty Of
crime. We feel that the ex-slave
and the exConfederate soldier will
go down in history together and
too, in very strange relationship
the one fighting too keep the
slave in slavery, the other by his
labors furnishing the meat and
to carry on this war
without one word of protest or
from him"
Then comes the Fort Worth
(Tex. Board of Trade supporting
the bill with the following Where
ases:
"Whereas, recognizing aud sp-
preciating the faithful service rem
dered by these people to the women
and children Of the South when
they depended solely upon the
honor aud integrity Of their slaves
for support and protection; and
Whereas, these people have, as a
rule, been unable to accumulate
meaus for their support aud main
tenance in their declining years
therefore, etc"
ls there any proposition on earth
that could not get the cordial en-
dorsement Of portion Of the TO-
OO0, 900 Americansi-Tywtk.

A bill pending in the Colorado
Legislature prohibits the giving or
receiving Of "tips" in hotels, on
trains or at other places within the
limits of the State. Hotels, res
taurants, railroad trains and other
places in which tipping has become
the custom, must post copies of the
law in conspicuous places. For
either giving or receiving tip the
penalty is $50 for the arst offense
and $l00 for each subsequent
offense. Failure to post the anti
tip notice also calls down on the
head Of the proprietor Of the estab-
lishment SO failing a fne Of $50.

Wealth has it's disadvantages.
Miss Helen Gould receives abont a
thousand begging letters a week,
aud Of these about onefourth are
requests for money, a tenth for
"ioans,' aud the rest petitions for
crazy notion that would injure the
recipients and belttle benefactor.
1t Miss Gould should be so silly as
to comply with money demands
made on her she would be Il pauper-

Cheapness is not the prime quality
of II school. In the organization
Of any system Of education, the
controlling idea should he the best

If by the consolidation Of small
schools into larger ones centrally
located, we can secure better houses.
better equipments, better teachers,
better supervision, better attend
ance, and a richer social life, and
can secure all the advantages with
ont additional expense, no one can
object to the economy. A summary
gathered from eighteen States try
ing the experiment, shows that it
costs less to maintain the central
school and transport the pupils than
it does to run the small schools.
Connecticut reports only one case
IN which there was an increase Of
cost. Duval County, Fla, has
closed IA schools, transports 176
pupils at 1903 per month, pays $145
per month for extra teachers EN-.
ployed in the central schools and
and saves $42 per mouth on the
new plan. Winnebago County,
Iowa, transports AZ pupils from
2 1-2 to S 1-2 miles, saving $486
per year on closing four schools.
One district in Nebraska saves
$40. 100 month. Kingsville, Ohio,
has saved over $1,000 in three

The tendency OF medical science is TO-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought Of the world is being given to the
subject. It is easier and better to prevent
than to cure. II has been fully demon
strated that pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men have
to contend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold or
from an attack OF influenza (grip), and IL
has been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts any tendency Of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven In many thousands Of csses in
which this remedy has been used during
the great prevalence Of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no danger
Is apprehended until il il suddenly discov-
cred that there is fever aud difiiculty 10

Is announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon a.
the cold is contracted. II always cures.
