motto, which each wore on his hat:
"From San Antonio to Caracas!"
1t meant a distance of thousand
miles, toilsome journey for even
such enthusiastic followers. But the
journey was accomplished by the
army and the leader, "Cavito," Lit

men. Castro led his army by means
of rapid marches over the mountain

A battle was fought near Barquisi-

Popularity! Oft got without deserving, never

Good art? I have known many actors who
were artists from their soles to the apex of the
longest hair upon their heads, who never tasted
the honey of popularity.
Temperament? There are actors full of it, who

Talent? The talented actor may have only his
talent, and that is all he possesses he will never

CHAUTAUQUA, n. y, August H.
The discussion Of mob law and lynchins

Justice Lore, of Delaware. His subject
was 1.-THE relation Of law to the mani
festation of the mob spirit
He said in part:
"The effect, therefore. of mG5 rule may

THE WAGE SCALE.

The argument of protectlonists that

the wage OF the American workman has
long since fallen into dsrepute with all
men who know the conditions It has
been abundantly proven that American
manufacturers can pay American wages.
and yet sell their product abroad in COM
petition with the product Of foreign fac
tories. The reason for this is that the
American workman is more skillful than
the foreign workman, and can turn out
more money and better work In a given
time. The American workman may not
be better by birth than the foreign work
man but he is better by education. He
has been trained In different school; he
has been trained to use his head as we'll
as his hand and to make his output in q
given time S great as possible. So long
as Me makes that his rule of conduct he
will continue to make himself more val
liable, and as he becomes more valuable
his wage will necessarily Increase. But
II he adopts the foreign method: If he
tries to restrain himself rather than to
exert himself y he hedges himself about
by hard and fast rules, refusing, no mat
ter what his abilities may be, to turn out
more than a certain amount OF work in a
given time. he Will Inevitably lapse back

Complaint Is often made that one man
who does only a few hours work day
receives an enormous salary, while
another man who does hard labor for
ten and twelve hours day receives a

sometimes, particularly in the political
world, that Is true. But there Is in bust

The charge that lobbyists were. crowd

others-led to an investigation, Nothing

yet we dare say there are such persons

call themselves by a more euphemistic

The truth is that these astute gentlemen
have many methods besides bribery of
influencing votes. Some members who
could not be approached with offers of

appealing to their social instincts and
political aspirations. But however that
may be, the Georgia investigation has
been without immediate effect. Possibly
it may serve as a warning that the public

THE rIANN LAW.

Mr.. r. r. Saunders, of Farmville, is
making war on tho Mann law on the
ground that it Isl "class legislation, pure
and simple, as under 1t the people in the
cities are allowed the privilege of voting
on the liquor question, while in the coun-
ties and in towns numbering less than
five hundred inhabitants the people are
not allowed to VOTE
That is the defect Of the Mann law, and
the defect which this paper pointed out
time and again while the bill was under
discussion In the General Assembly. 1t
is one thing to cast vote on a public
question; it is another thing to sign a
petition. The way to get at public senti-
ment on any public question is to have
an election and to let the voters cast
their ballots in secret. A petition Is no
fair test OF sentiment Many temperance
men conscientiously believe that If liquor
is to be sold at all 1t is better to legalize
the ira ffic, rather than have it sold in
defiance OF law. Therefore, when it
comes to the test they cast their ballot
against prohibition. But II is different
thing TO ask such men to sign { petition
to open a saloon, when the petition is to
be made a matter of public record. In
deed one denomination makes it an i'm
morality for a member to sign such
petition, but not, as We understand the
rule, to vote against prohibition.
The Mann law was designed to break
up the country saloon, and 1t has done
its work we'll. But its method of testing
public sentiment is a failure.
