WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Dallas News: Education of the best
sort always has plenty of tolerance in 1t. +
st. Louis Republic: No matter how
dity faced the boy is his mother can always
find clean spot big enough to kiss.
Selma Republican,: The necessity that
corners and presses us into desperate &C
ton is often the salvation of our career.
Nashville American: Mr.. Grief! Mr..
Grief!' called the hotel porter through the
lobby. Then he went and looked in at the
barroom. Grief is usually to be found
there.
Nashville American: No finer tribute
was ever paid a public man than when
Senator Pettus said of his colleague, Sena-
tor Morgan: "The people of Alabama
know he is poor, and they are proud OF it. /"
Nashville American: To say that man
is suffering with ''coagulation Of the pro-
toplasm'' is so much nicer than to declare
that he is beastly drunk; and it is calcu-
lated to arouse more sympathy as we'll as
an inclination to send for doctor.
Travel Magazine: In Italy time is reck-
oned on the twenty-four hour system.
Thus, o'clock in the afternoon is there
designated as Is o'clock. Midnight is "a
O'Clock. The good sense of this plan should
commend its use by all enlightened nations.
Nashville American: 'The dainty art
of courtship is nearly forgotten, shippers
woman's magazine. Well, the girls are
not making clothes, cleaning house or
washing dishes; SO they must be padding
the streets, and they think of nothing but
Irritation then.
Biloxi Herald: The history Of tariff re-
vision by Republican Congressman shows
that they have always humbugged their
constituents, for in each case of such re-
vision they used the existing tariff as a
minimum and invariably increased the
onerousness of tariff demands by increas
ing its unjustifdble exactions.
Norborn Leader: In the United States
every four years $4,000 more persons are
killed in industrial pursuits than fell in
battle and died of wounds during the four
years of civil war. We are killing twice
as many every year as persisted by violence
in both the French and English armies
during the three years of the Crimean War.
Yazoo City Sentinel: The best service
any man can render, and the best record
he can leave behind is to have it said that
while he lived he devoted some of his en-
ergy to help build up waste places, and to
make those about him enjoy the blessing
of life. You get nothing out of selfish
struggle in this world, and the best man
alive is the one who considers always the
welfare of others.
Louisville Courier journal The best
politics any man can play is not the politics
/. of partisan manipulation, plumber and re-
prisals, but exalted, conscientious service
in behalf Of the whole people. The man who
plays the wrong kind invariably meets his
| Waterloo. The American people right now
are more in earnest than ever before in
their demand for square deal for every
body and high character in public office.
Chicago Journal: The men and women
!, who are intrusted with the duty Of educa-
, ting the young have high and noble
mission which is not surpassed in impor-
: lance by any other in the world. They
bear the future on their shoulders, and
they should appreciate their task so fully
as not to be willing to exchange it or to
lessen its vigor by undertaking any other
work, much less by scheming in politics for
their own benefit.
Callao Herald: Give the young and
struggling word of encouragement when
9 you can. You would not leave those
plants in your window boxes without water,
; nor refuse to open the shutters that sun
: light may fall upon them, but you would
9 leave some human flower to suffer from
y want of appreciation or the sunlight of
! encouragement. There are a few hardy
souls that can struggle along on stony
soil-shrubs that can wait for the dews and
p sunbeams, vines that climb without kindly
training-but only few.
. Baltimore Sun: The most pressing need
t of the United States to-day is patriotism.
n Comparatively few men in public life con-
Germ themselves in the welfare Of the coun-
try at large. Most are too busy in looking
. after special or class or local interests to
/ feel proper interest in the welfare of the
a whole country -theentire people. Congress
