tee. will be enlisted in this cause. They
will write articles about the new law,
which will be published conspicuous
ly. Some of these experts have also
been engaged already for stumping
work in the next campaign.
Thus far the Republican regulars
have been at disadvantage in pub
licity about the tariff bill. In spite
of their assertions, the Republican
newspapers have very generally pro-
nounced an unfavorable verdict and
the impression has gone abroad that
the wall is higher than when the extra
session entered upon its work. These
first Impressions, as experts in pub
lieity well know, are extremely diff
cult to dislodge. The leaders believe,
all the same, that their denials and
explanations will catch up with the
earlier statements, before the campaign
for the election of Congress is at
hand.
They have another handicap in the
apparent program Of merchants the
country over to raise prices on many
commodities with the plea that it is
due to the new tariff. Such trade
developments as that often attend
tariff legislation. AS prices have been
moving upward for several years, a
further rise will confirm the popular
mind in a conviction that the tariff
is to blame. Increased cost of COM
modities will also be stimulated by the
new and very stringent provisions for
valuations of imports, which Congress
is to put into operation. Naturally
this will make high rates of duty more
onerous.
In these later days the Republicans
revise tariffs at an extra session so
that they will be at as little disad-
vantage as possible from popular re-
sentiment. They lost the House in the
middle of the Harrison administration
because there was not sufficient time
to explain the Mckinley bin.

FLIRTING AS EDUCATION.

From the New YORK world.
II think the girls of Radcliffe and the
boys of Harvard devote too much of their
time to study" says Prof. George Her.
bert Palmer. "They should mingle little
frivolity with their studies; in other
words, they should fiirt little"
This advice of Harvards oldest pro-
fessor will fall with a strange emphasis
on the ears of regulators Of college man
ners. Are not students already too much
inclined to frivolity, Sinking ''the per-
Torrance in the main tent for the ''side
showsr' Possibly the warning is needed
by the Portals of Radcliffe, but the view
of college youth as toiling over their
books to the sacrifice of their social in
forests and requiring to be encouraged
to relax is one of the novel educational
theories Of a commencement season which
has been prolific of advice on the higher
education.
Is not the quality of the moonlight at
Cambridge In leafy June what it was?
And do they no longer teach Horace there
that It now needs the exhortation of a
gray-haired professor to impress the ROM
an poets precepts on undergraduates?
Erasmus would have Endorsed DR.. Pal
mer's view, and it is not unlikely that
many bearded alumni will confirm 1t as
the wisdom Of worlds experience.
But it is evident that philosophy of
life Is being taught at the colleges the
insidious influence of which on the young
mind may well excite the forebodings Of
episcopal critics. At time when the
new president of Union college. minis
ter, reminds students of the value of "a
drop of sporting blood" and Harvard
professor, as the fruit of life spent in
study. advises boys and girls not to
neglect the pleasures of youth, stern men,
tors may well despair of the future. There
is some consolation in the thought that
students are SO good that they must be di-
rected to flirt as a duty to themselves.
But what words of reprobation will the
mentors in question find adequate for the
characterization OF this official encour-
agement of flirting?

Rural Free Mail Delivery

In II years the rural free delivery
service has overspread a broad coun-
try, for none of our states are as dense
ly populated as are the countries In
Europe in which the service has long
existed. But despite our scattered
population the new service has become
popular 1t is in short fully estab-
lished. There are 46 states and there
will be $4,000 rural free delivery routes
by the end of next year. Alabama will
have by that time fully 1000 rural
routes. Every congressional district
should have at least 100 and every
county about 20.
The chief obstacle to rural free de-
livery is poor roads. Besides poor
roads the new service encounters the
opposition of small postoffices that do
not relish disappearance. 1t also en-
counters the opposition to mail order
meeting of neighbors at mail time to
talk over crops, politics and the like
1t the neighborhood store. Despite all
~ changes 1t has steadily grown moro
popular In all sections of the country.
Alabama should take steps to secure
hAr share of routes. She is entitled

THE HOPE DIAMOND

| he had bought it from stranger and
had asked no questions. Investigation
proved to the satisfaction Of the jewelers.
of the day that It was IN fact the stone
known now as the Hope diamond,
Henry Thomas Hope, a banker, who had
amassed immense weaath for those days,
heard of the gem, and after some nego-
tiations bought 1t. Neither seller nor
buyer revealed the price, which has been
stated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Whatever I'll fortune possession Of the
stone brought to Hope, # made him
famous at any rate. He probably con-
sidered himself well repaid for his out
lay wnen in 1861, his daughter Henrietta
married the sixth Duke of Newcastle
Besides several millions in gold from
her fathers treasury, she was given, as
part of her enormous dowry, the famous
Hope diamond.
One of the two sons of this lady in
herited the ducal title and estates; the
second inherited, among other things, the
Hope diamond.
This unfortunate, Lord Francis Hope,
became known the world over because of
his misfortunes. They may or may not
have been due to the diamond. Who
knows?
His early career was not such as to in
vite the continued stay of the goddess of
good luck beneath his roof. and he soon
astonished his own social, aristocratic
worla by marrying May Yohe, concert
hall singer.
The marriage proved an unhappy one.
Lord Francis Hope In time, after all
sorts and conditions of troubles, was led
not only to seek divorce from his wife,
but a sale of the splendid gem, which
had graced the tiara of the former con-
cert hall singer on many social occasions
during their life together.
Strenuous objection to the disposal of
the diamond was interposed by Lord
Hopes family. They had seen him foun-
deripg year after year deeper in financial
distress and social disrepute, but insisted
that he retain the gem hoodoo.
Finally the courts permitted him to dis
pose of the stone and soon afterward
freed him from his CALLING marital bond.
1t was estimated at the time that the
diamond was worth $125.000. In course of
time 1t came into the hands of New
York firm of diamond merchants.
For Ave years, 1t is said, the New York
firm held the diamond, Offering 1t to va
rious millionaires without success. Then
the diamond merchants fell into unex-
pected financial difficulties.
About a year ago the diamond was sold
in Paris, it was stated. for 100000 The
purchaser was the Sultan of Turkey.
What has happened to the Sultan since
is well known.
Is this famous Hope diamond, among
the most beautiful and wonderful of all
the worlds gems, responsible for the
chain of disasters that follows its own
ership.

Senators By Popular Vote

Twenty-seven states have petitioned
Congress to call a convention to sub
nit to the states an amendment that
will take from special interests and
the few the selection of United States
senators to transfer the power to the
people for direct action. In most cases
this would call for constitutional
changes in the several states.
The states that have petitioned Con-
gress are Arkansas, California, Col
orado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming-27 In all.
The applications of four more states
are needed Alabama now selects
United States senators in an informal
popuidi ulduueI, anu There Is no reason
why she should not fall into line with
the u states that have acted What
Is the matter too, with Georgia?
The truth is, the Senate cannot be
taken out of the hands of machine
politicians or special interests except
by the primary route. The proposition
is thoroughly democratic, and the
south is certainly interested in having
Senate that is in touch with the
mass of the people. All experience
shows that the best government is at
tainable only through popular action.
When Congress calls e convention to
propose an amendment that amend
ment does not become a part of the

states have ratified it,

BROKE UP THE GAME.

Morris Schaff in the July Atlantic.
I was playing ''seven-up" with Captain
Hudson and the late Admiral Clitz of the
navy when my ordnance depot at City
Point was blown up by a torpedo. 1t
was made in Richmond, and placed by
couple of daring Confederates clothed in
our uniform on the deck of barge load
ed with artillery ammunition. Our In
nocent game was going on in the tent Of
Captain Mason, who commanded Grants
escort. First came the explosion of the
depot that shook the earth and was felt
for miles, then q solid shot tore through
the tent I doubt If a game Of cards
ever came to an end quicker than that
one. We fairly flew from the tent, and at
once came under shower of bursting
shells and falling wreckage. One of the
barge's old ribs, that must have weighed
at least a ton, fell Immediately In front
of Clitz Changing his course. he uttered
only one remark, the first half of the
18th verse of the 18th chapter of st.
John Then with eyes on the ground and
wondering. l suspect, what would come
next, he passed at great speed right by
Grant, who In his usually calm voice
asked, "Where are you coming, Clitz?"
The admiral heaved to, and then streaked
1t for his war vessel, and we never I'M
ished tho game.
