SELLING FARMS BY MAIL.

Selling farms by mail is an industry
notlceably on the decline, various ex-
posures of the facts behind glowing
magazine advertisements having serv.
ed usefully, aided by the Investigations
by postoffice inspectors which have
alarmed the INSCRIPTIONS men who
promised little earthly paradises same
for Seventeen cents day" and others
for a similarly easy sum.
Emerson Hough, the famous novel
list, made an investigation of many of
the "farms-by-mail' schemes and re-
lated many ingenious processes for
separating the unwary from their cash,
his conclusions being summed up in
the warning: Never buy land or any
thing else without first carefully inves-
tlgatlng the character of the men with
whom you are going to do business"
The state of Michigan has been a
great sufferer from the operations of
land sharks who sell to the ignorant
trusting the poorest land in the state
as FARMS" many victims having
found that their purchases, unless a
prohibitive amount was spent by them,
were worthless as farms. In other
states land grants and clouded titles
are used as cloak for nefarious real
estate schemes. A year or so ago
there was concern operating out in
Ohio which sold Texas lands that very
likely the seller had never seen. He
missed the location of the Pecos river
by great many miles, invented towns
that did not exist, and sometimes gave
county recorders in Texas trouble in
trying to find lands described as lying
within their county lines.

The opponents of reform call its adj
vocates the holier-than-thou class. That
may seem very singing taunt, but
the Importance of the sheer is the con-
dition it discloses in the hearts of
those who use the expression. It comes
naturally from the lips of libertines.
Men who get profit of pleasure out of
5debauchery don't want reform. The
Shiboleth appeals to mems cowardice.
Mans natural modesty restraints him
from advertising his virtues. He dis
likes to be pointed out as shining ex-
ample because the moral searchlight
may discount him. But look at the 9TH
er class. The libertine does not want
his pleasure haunts disturbed or him
self pilloried by reformers. The con-
science sleeping under pleasures OPT
ates does not want to be awakened
There is general discomfort when OBJ
structions are thrown on the smooth
way down to hell. The charge is tex
posure;' but the real cause of alarm is
the disturbance. This is evident from
the fact that those anti-reformers are
not in the least squeamish in relating
their immoral experiences. 1t is aw-
full to expose their crimes, but their
chief delight is to boast of them.

and girls, but men and boys! OF the
people needing permanent care there
are three times as many men as there
are women. In the almshouses of the
country there are almost twice as
many men as women. And the reports
of institutions giving temporary relief
shows the same or greater preponder-
ance of male recipients.
Yet so far as we know the growing
army of women who are struggling for
the ballot have never advanced this
fact as one of the reasons why they
should have the franchise. 1t may be
because they did not know that such a
remarkable condition existed. We con-
TESS that we did not know that such a
state of affairs is a matter of proof
But now that Mr.. IShackleton has given
us so much food for thought in this di-
rection, it may be depended upon that
the advocates of women suffrage will
take full advantage of the situation.
Surely it is good club which may be
used In beating down those men who
arrogantly assume that they are made
of better stuff than women. Surely it
may be used with great effect on those
contented gentlemen who regard wom-
en- as too frail to get along in the
world without the sustaining arm of
the masculine tribe.
This disclosure of Mr.. Shackleton
should make men ashamed that they
are less able to take care of themselves
than the women. 1t is indeed a very
serious Indictment against the old and
young men of the country that for ev-
cry 1888 females who are inmates of
charitable institutions there are 999
males. Even in the matter only of
temporary relief sought, men predomi-
nant three to one. It is a very bad
showing for the so-called stronger"
sex.

LLOYD GEORGE AND WALES

Mr.. Lloyd George had been nearly
ten years in parliament before the
Boer war made him a national figure.
up till then he was known in the
House as a delightful companion, an
ardent Parliamentary strategist, and a
clever and sparkling speaker, and that
was as far as his reputation stretched,
To the mass of Englishmen he was lit
tie more than the shadow of name.
Among his own countrymen in Wales,
he was, of course, far better known,
but even they could hardly have for
seen how swiftly he was to rise to the
dictatorship Of the principality. One
really hardly exaggerates in speaking
of Mr.. Lloyd-George's position and in
fluence in Wales as the equivalent of a
dictatorship.
You ought to know Lloyd George, -
a friend is said to have remarked to
the present king, who was then Prince
of Wales. IF there were such a thing
as the presidency of Wales, he would
poll more votes than you would" 1t
is hackneyed but true thing to say
that not since the days of Owen Glen.
dover has Wales found leader more
absolutely after her own heart. Mr.
Lloyd-George is Welsh-as Welsh as
O'Connell was Irish; he speaks Welsh
lis probably, indeed, even more elo.
quent and moving in it than in Eng.
fish; and he knows the country and its
people-knows them as Mckinley
knew the Americans or Palmerston the
English, or Gambetta the French.
No one can touch as he can on the
romantic appeal of ancient Welsh life
No one is more imbued with the spirit
and consciousness of distinctive
Welsh nationality, and no one has done
more, or indeed one-half so much. to
make that spirit of nationality polite.
ally effective, No one is more effec.
tive than he in his invocations to the
cnarm OF the Symric twilight, the lone.
ly lakes and "mist-clad mountains, the
.ghostly figures of Welsh chivalry, the
noise of streams rushing down the
moonlit valleys. Even when he talks
OF Wales on his own hearthrug, in the
freedom of private conversation, an IT,
responsible light leaps out of his eyes,
the voice takes on a softer infection of
tenderness, the language grows more
impetuous and glowing, one feels the
workings of an authentic inspiration.

gelist in Mr.. Lloyd-George's tempera-
