 For example, taking the present year and 1890 for comparison, we find that the value of farm property products has nearly auadrupled, and the num- Der of people engaged in agricultural pursuits has increased about fifteen per cent.
 When it comes to railroad exte1s'o on and mining the figures are almost startling. Taking the same period of twenty-five years. the raIl cad mi e. age has more than doub ed the pro- duetion of pig-iron is more than five times as great and of steel someth ng over fen times as much. The out put of petroleum Is five times as great. of copper twelve times. and of Portland cement In Ave years about five times. Of 'manufaeturlng pro- duets the amount is three times as large as 'n 1880. and the increase in foreign exports has a little mora than doubled during the latter period.

4 Truly Great Man up In Pefn syiva- mia fatters himself that he knows ju-t how to manage the bachelor business the world He doesn't propose put ting them to death outright. imprison- ing them up In a convent but his plan Is to make them pred able as we'll as ornamental. To effect that object he proposes a specific tax on each one who passes a certain age. He doesn't suggest an ad va,orum tax. probably because he thinks that plan wouldn't produce much. but he thinks head tax would catch all of them and produce a handsome sum.
 The money thus raised Is to 80 into a perpetual fund to be applied to pen sloning superanpuatsd sehool-marms and make their lots easy in their de- clining years, and we must say that the Idea has some good points It may bel stated as general proposition that few old maids are sueh from choice. Mainly they are so because the men. as an old wartime song ex- RNNA4&1 AAR RGN% Rga@N6N NA ask for a wife" It IS an old tru.sm that 1t is the mans duty to support and care for the woman. aud thougn there seems to be something wrong with the proposition It's truth holds good in theory, 1T not in practice, That being admitted, if he refuses to do his duty as a supporter by marrying 9ae then stick on him a tax that will make him perform his proper part in the economy of civilization,
 One weak point we see In thls prop osition Is that 1t can't be made gem eral If one state should enforce such a tax 1t would drive the baehe- lors out and unload them on another community. and most sections have enough of them as it is If It could be made general. adopted by every State, it would have two good effects; red lc. ing the crop Of baehe ors and ass st. ! ing to maintain the women teachers who have passed the axe of useful ness. However. 1t Is probably need i less to discuss the matter, for the e's little nrobabintS of such law beins | enacted.

 The columbls State commends the President for taking part of an ex-shertn Of Georgia who was de- feated. It is said. because he had the courage to stand on mob who were trying to lynch prisoner. But The state goes on to say, what 0f the oficiai sworn to uphold and execute the law. who disregards all statutes and takes oaicial action. not as tae law dictates. but as he pleases? What does the President think of the worth iness of such ofhciall To be more specific. Tn what light does Mir. Rose- welt vlew the conduct of the mem bers of his cabinet. Sc retarIes Hitch cock and Wilson who. h violation of law. withdrew nearly i,ooo,oo0 acres of land be.onSing to the Five CIVIL ized Tribes from allotment, Mir. Wl- son's private plan being to crea . forest reserve of a million and aai acres in the center of the withdrawn tract. that land to be brought by the government When the illegal action was discovered by the Investigating committee. Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior Depe.tment said: If we have violated the law. am sorry For It, A pitifai position for a man wno not onls knew the law but whose re-. sponsible oface. exists chiefly for the purpose of having, the law honestly administered. Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural Department Is even less appreciative of his duties; never looked at an authority" he sad. T made up my mind that we had better proposition for the Indian thaa to turn his land into a game pre- serve" And part of that proposition was to make the government buy a nliilion and a half acres--and Con- gress had not been even consulted!
 These vioiators Of law were sharp ly rebuked by the Investigating Sen ators We do not recall cabinet ot- fcer's being so personally and severe ly eensured as was MF. HitchSock when Senator Clark informed him; IL is up to the Secretary of the lntero to do as the law tells him to do" What does President Roosevelt thinS of this transaction. Had they prohted by the withdrawal of land from ailot- ment 1t would hays been natioaai scandal of the first riaRnitude. Their motives were not dishonest but 1heif act was just as lawless as if per- formed ln furtheFanee of a private scheme. It Is monstrous thing that these ofnelais should consider they were justified in suspending avs Do they Imagine we arc already under dictatorshipY Are they copsi-g s..e roushshod policy of their chief? Ger. tainlS they are following the trend of government by Republicans.
 But Mr. Roosevelt knows that his secretaries have nc more right to suspend laws of Congres as to al.ot- ment of lands than a pass.en-lnhan m ed mob has to suspend the laws of the commonwealth which proh bit murder or punishment without trial 1 by due proces of law.

 There Is a suggestion that the race issue will bob up in Congress in con nectiun with tlc admission to the un- ion ct the new State of Oklehonla.
 The sugs sestlon is based npcR the al- lege1 discrimination against the negro IT. the Oklahoma State Constitution be- causs Of the separate epaehIaw and the separate schools for the whites and Backs provided for In the Constitution
 Ia view of the fact that President Roosevelt Is insisting with SC much Vlg- or upon testing the authority of the lie school matters In California there may be some ground for presuming that a like effort will be made as to Okla huma.
 In San Francisco the school board has rOVidsd separate schools for the Crientals and the Japanese have rsis- ed an indignant protest because Of th slr white pupils. The Administration al Washington seems inclined to regard this action as contrary te the spirit of sumes that the Federal power must be exercised in a purely local matter to prevent interRational complications.
 In respect to Oklahoma 1t is arsured that if it shall contain any provisions supposed to be In conflict with the Fed erai Constitution the President might refuse to issue his proclamation an nounciug OklahOmas admission to Ene Union and Congress might then take up inc hem matter, and thresh 1t out to It's own satisfaction.
 Some of the Southern States have amended their Constitution since they became dissatisfied with the enfran- chisement of the negro, practically .dls- franchising a large number of blacks, and have also passed laws which pro- hibit whites ana blacks from mingling in fine same schools or In the railway coaches There have been efforts made in Congress to reduce the Southern rep resentation in consequence. but nething has ever come of such effort Tt has been coutended in some quarters that these State Constitutions violate Fed eral instrument but the contention has not been upheld bv the courts when re- dress has been sought in that diree- tion.

 The rivalry of the Plttsburg miiliun- aires manifests itself mostly in the building of vast mansions In New York city. Mr. Carnegie set the pace with his great house on upper Fifth avenue. Then his former employe, Mir. Schwab, decided to build a more showy and costly establishment on the west side of the city. Now MT. Prick. who lost his admiration for MT. Carnegie few years ago, pays s2.400,0o0 for the Lenox library site on Fifth avenue, between Seventleth and Seventy-first streets, and will erect there residence. which doubtless will cost q good deal mo'e than tho site.
