Town Killers.

There are about eight classes of
town killers, and every town is If
fcctea with one or more of them.
First, those who forget to pay
their honest debts; second, those
who are opposed. to improvements;
third, those who prefer quiet
town to one of push and business;
fourth, those who imagine they
own the town; fifth, those who de.
ride public-splrited men; sixth,
those who oppose every move
ment that does not appear to bone
fit them; eight, those who seek to
injure the credit Or reputation OF
their neigh bors. FIX.

Bishop Abram Grant of the
African Methodist Episcopal
Church said in an address to the
church conference at Columbia,
Mo-, one day last week that, 1--WE
have to get rid of that shiftless,
idle, immoral class Of negroes in
this country" The Bishop adds
to this by saying that 1.-The negro
brute is the product of the white
mans saloons, the white mans
gambling denis aud the white
mans dens of vice." There is in
the latter part of tho Bishops
statement a large gist of truth,

MlssourI's Era OF Graft.

Attorney General Hadley's
speech referring in detail TO the
long period of Democratic crook
edness in their administrations in
this state is a powerful array Of
facts that cannot be denied. Mr..
Haaley proves beyond question
that for years the conduct Of state
affairs was dominated by corrup-
ton, bribery and corporate influ-
ences; that elections III the cities
were falsified, and municipal gov
eminent was foully degraded in
the interest of one party. The
Democratic platform Of this year =,
it is shown, is On indictment OF
previous Democratic state admin
istrations. A Democratic lieuten-
ant governor confessed that be
was q bribe-taker and distributed
bribes among the senator's over
whose sessions he presided. The
operations of the baking powder
trust and the bogus health society
belong in the list, and the "reigu
of boodlers" of which SO much il
heard from the present Democrat
ic governors supporters is point
edly . charge against previous
Democratic administrations.
Such state legislative reforms as
have been accomplished, Mr.. Had
ley demonstrates. are due to the
defeat OF the Democratic party
two years ago, and the election Of
Republican house and most Of
the state officers. ''During The
last legislature, presided over by
Republicaa officials" says Mr..
Hsdley, '-every measure in the
peoples interest had the right OF
way; no one Thousand dollar bills
or rumors of one Thousand dollar
bills, filled the atmosphere; no leg
islator was allowed to steal u bill
and thus defeat its passage; NJ
committee was allowed to smother

Our Interests IN Cuba

Last year Cuba sold to the init
ed States $72, $4,000 worth of
sugar, and it is in sugar that vast
investment of American capital
has been made. If we look @xcr
the map of Cuba we will Ind a
great number sugar estates which
arc owned by American capital
and in which the members of the
Sugar Trust, individually and COL
lectively, are largely concerned,
says AppIeton's Magazine. The
Cuba Company, most of whose
stock is in American hands, owns
not only the Cuba Railroad, but al
so sugar scentrals, hardwood tim
ber, and fruit lands, as we'll rs
town sites at many points along
the line of the road. The various
holdings of this company through
out the island aggregate about one
million acres. Taking the island
throughout its length, the Ameri-
can interest in the total product of
Cuba is about % per cent.
Last year Cuba exported tobac-
CO, manufactured and unmanufac
tured, to the amount of $26, 75s,-
900, of which $15, 100000 worth
came to this country. In actual
cash there is undoubtedly more
American money invested in the
tobacco industry than in any other
single item. This is entirely the
investment of the American To-
bacco Trust, which owns 225, 600
acres of tobacco lands iu Pinar del
Rio.

GREAT SOCIAL PROBLEM.
Why Are Women InstinctiveIy Afraid
of Mice?

Correspondent in New York Sun.
Even in these troublous times | believe
the Sun will be ready to investigate So
cial questions of general interest. There
fore I take the liberty of bringing to
your attention the old and we'll recog-
nized fear of mice on the part of wo-
men, This fear is clearly hereditary.
Can you or any of your correspondents
throw light upon the following points in
connection with 1t?
How are we to account for this hered-
tary fear being transmitted only in the
female line? Instances of this sort are
common enough in transmission but
their mode of transmission has never
been explained.
Is there any well attested case of a
mouse having injured a woman in any
manner to suggest greater enmty on
Its part to women than to men?
1t seems to me that a free discussion
of these questions in your columns
might tend to throw light on a subject
OF very general interest. and might per-
haps modify an instinct which amounts
almost to a superstition in its hold upon
the female mind.
