he sent q dollar bill to every demo-
cratic editor In the district, asking him
to make formal announcement Of his
candidacy. It Is said that in the majority
of cases the money was returned, which.
IL true, is one of the finest compliments
that could possibly be paid the brilliant
minority leader. The average Mississippi
editor Isn't in the habit of turning his
back on ten dollar bills. even on as APP
propriate an occasion as the one in ques-
ton Williams Is far and away the best

1T WAS GREAT MUSIC

Sir Frederick Bridge recently told the
members of the London Society of Arts
story about some ladies whom he found
listening in countryhouse to mechan-
fcal piano player. BY their enraptured ex-
preston Of countenance he became aware
that he was hearing a classical piece OF
enormous worth. tho it counded so very
abstruse that he felt himself hardly edu-
Gated up to It,. So in a whisper he asked
what It was. and received the reply that
lit was Bach's fugue in D minor He still
failed to recognize it. and when the piece
was finished proceeded to elucidate the
mystery. He then found the fugue had
been played backward as the ladies' hid
put in the perforated paper upside 5own

Savings, Not Pensions.

That was an interesting discussion on
the pension system yesterday, between
the members of the state board Of con-
troll and the heads Of state institutions.
Tt was interesting because good points
were made by both sides, and because
the topic is one of growing interest.
Chairman jacobson was right when
he said that state employee was no
more entitled to service pension than
the superannuated employee of any pri-
vate corporation. But the pension idea
is being taken up by many large COM
panies, in one form and another. It is
the belief of many large employers that
some kind of pension system will
promote efficiency and loyalty among
their men. Others feel that long and
faithful service entities an employee to
some care and consideration when his
days of usefulness are past.
If there is real merit in the pension
system, the state could perform public
service by working out suitable plan
and giving demonstration Of it. A
straight-out, old-age pension is hardly
American, as Mr.. jacobson says. 1t re-
moves the spirit of independence and
]. individual reliance. There are modi-
fed plans in operation, however, which
are an encouragement to thrift and in
dustry. Such one was suggested by
DR.. Tomlinson of st. Peter. 1t is in
use by an eastern railroad company
which encourages its employees to SET
aside a certain part of their savings
To this the company adds an equal
amount, not large in itself, but growing
in two or three decades to a comforta
BILE old-age fund. The saving is moi
compulsory, and it is not burden t.
the employee, but the company puts il
dollar for dollar with the workingman
up to a certain limit. By taking ad
vantage Of the plan, employees can b,
assured of proper care when they are nj
longer able to do days work.
The difference between this plan ant
the old age pension is the difference be
tween thrift and spendthrift. It il
worth the attention Of public men. i
is true that state employment is eagerl,
sought after, but it is also true that tn,
subordinate positions are poorly paid

In one of his published letters Lord
Tennyson discussed the title which he
should adopt on being raised to the peer
age. A postscript which he added might
have suggested that he would not care
to see this particular letter reproduced
in any publication which might follow, but
his son includes it in his biography The
postscript ran as follows 81 heard of an

raud's Preparations.
DR.. Gourauds Oriental Cream was
invented by DR.. T. Felix Gouraud
nearly sixty years ago. At that time
DR.. Gouraud was the proprietor of a,
drugstore on Walker street, few
doors west of Broadway, New York.
He continued manufacturing Oriental
Cream in connection with his retail
drug business until about the last of
the ffties, when Oriental Cream had
become such a favorite and the sale
grown SO rapidly since he first started
manufacturing the article, that he de-
cided to. give up this drugstore bust
ness and move to As Bond street,
where he. could give his sole atten-
ton to the manufacturing and in
creasing the sale of Oriental Cream,
which he continued doing until his
death IN 1875, when the business
passed into the hands Of the present
owner and proprietor, Ferd T., Hop
kins, who Immediately started in to
in the leading daily and weekly home
papers turnout the United States and
Canada.
The copy was about the same as
appears today, having the same won.-
ans figure appear in every insertion
that appears today with the copy that
is sent out From the start, Mr.. Hop
per advertising in preference to mag
azines, illustrated weeklies, ETC., as
he claims better and quicker results
were received than by any other kind
of advertising he has done, and as
the daily newspapers have improved
year by year since he first took hold
of the business, he has constantly cur
tailed all other kinds of advertising
and confined his copy as much as pos
sible to newspapers that have home
| circulation reaching the female part
I of the family, who are always the
principal buyers.
Oriental Cream is the oldest skin
preparation now manufactured in the
western hemisphere. Since its first
appearance on the market thousands
of preparations have appeared and
after a short existance have died out
| entirely for want of merit, but the
demand for Oriental Cream today is
! greater than it ever was before and

Now the Chicago shippers are OBJ

Recently Spokane men visited Chi

from Chicago to the northwest. The
Chicago men want a readjustment Of
the adjustment.
The object of the Spokane men was
to get a wider market, and now the
complaining shippers say that the
Spokane jobbers can ship in CARROTS
from Chicago and job at home cheap
er than the Chicago jobbers can reach
the same points in less than CARROTS.

died the other day. was one of the highest
minded and purest men, in his public
career, that the great keystone common
wealth has produced for many years, and
he lacked only little bit of measuring
up to stature of real greatness He was
twice elected auditor of the republican
city of Philadelphia. and twice governor
of the strong republican state of Penn
sylvanta. In the midst Of graft Of the
most open and offensive character, ram
pant in both parties, his own record was
clean. and he preserved the confidence
and esteem of the public to the last. In a
better atmosphere and under other condi-
tons, he might have come to be somewhat
more than he was, but to the Pennsyl-
vania Of his day he was a welcome and a
helpful official. The country needs many
more such men as he, in both the great
parties, to hold public places and to serve
in the ranks.

Bishop Potter and the Saloon.

The entire country is discussing the
propriety of Bishop Potter IS act in tax
ing part in the formal opening Of a
saloon in New York city, and the con-
demnation is about equal to the com
mendation. Standing where some of
the strict religionists are, and having
for moment their point of view, we
can well understand why there should
be criticism, and standing where some
Of those who commend the act are, and
having for moment their point Of
view, we can well understand, on the
other hand, why the course of the good
bishop should be Endorsed.
We are rather inclined to believe,
speaking broadly, that there is not
enough liberation among those who op-
pose the liquor traffic federation, we
mean, with those who are really trying
to solve the vexing problems which are
connected with it. So far as T Q
j Journal is concerned, it does not
care, for the present, either to condemn
or to indorse. 1t believes that Bishop
Potter would do nothing which he did
not think was for the eventual uplift
of humanity. In many ways he is a
great man, and for years he has been
earnestly thinking about and studying
the great moral questions with which
the world has to deal, intemperance
among them. We are not sure that he
has found even partial remedy for the
which has been thrown open in New
York, but we hesitate to criticize IN
favorably when we are so sure that he
has been prompted by good motives in
all that he has done. It is frequently
better for a man to make, a try at solv.
ing one Of the great world problems
even tho he fail, than for him not ia
try at ALL
! Bishop Potter's latest move recalls
the way certain saloons in the south
under the influence Of the dispensary
system prevailing in South Carolina
are being taken hold of by church PEG
pie. In one Of the current magazines
there is a story Of such a, saloon. The
bartenders and the proprietors, as W.
remember the account, are churchmen Of
high standing, and one of them is tn,
superintendent of Sunday school
They do not, of course, indorse tn,
saloon, but it is their theory that b,
bringing good men into the business
and serving only the purest brand O
goods, and discouraging loafng, card
playing, treating, ETC., the liquor drink
ing habit may be robbed of some o
it's greatest terrors. It may be tina
these good people are wrong, but lie
them have their experiment out befor
we who are doing nothing to solve thi
great problem rise up in our superio
wisdom and goodness to condemn them
The New York saloon which Bisho
Potter helped dedicate is such plac
as these saloons in the south, just re
ferred to. It may utterly fail in tn
accomplishment of the desired purpose
but if the people who have though
about the liquor question for years, wit
patience and intelligence, are hopefr

Bishop Potter is being widely criticised
for making an address at the opening
of the so-called Subway Tavern in
New York where liquor is sold, but where
an attempt is made to discourage its use
in favor of soft drinks The real at
traction Of the saloon is not drink, but
sociablity. Men as a rule do not wish to
get drunk, but they do wish to meet their
fellows and enjoy q social hour. Until
this demand is otherwise supplied, the
saloon cannot be fought successfully. The
Subway Tavern is an attempt to run a
place where alcoholic liquor is not a sine
qua non. Hence Bishop Potter's presence.
