W. Prichard Morgan, a Liberal
member of Parliament, who is visit-
iug in this country, expressed him-
self as follows in New York, the
other day:
"Inside the next ten years this
country will see the most awful rev-
olution that has astonished the world
of late. This is my firm conviction,
based upon more than one visit to
the United States. There is not a
thing wanting in this country to
make it the greatest and richest in
the world, yet you choose to des-
troy yourselves by your infernal pol-
itics and protection. You are so
full of politics that you can think of
nothing else. You make a tremen-
dous to-do over electing a president,
and uo sooner is he elected than you
begiu a new campaign to see who
will succeed him. You make laws to
prelect this brauch of manufacture,
ItnL you don't make any to protect
the workers. The working classes
arc beginning to think that they, too,
should be protected. These trusts
aud combinations that are being
tried for conspiracy are lawless con-
cerns, and yet the laws are all made
for their protection, and the unfor-
tunate consumer lias to pay the
piper. In England such trusts
would be punished. If some re-
former does not rise up to alter
things here, inside of eight or ten
years this country will be in a state
of territic revolution."
Fred, the king of pickoockets,
died recently in Londou in want and
poverty. Fred first became famous
in Paris, where he established his
headquarters at the Hotel de Home,
and frequented the race tracks, driv-
ing there in a smart carriage, or his
ultra-English dog-cart. Before start-
ing for the race course lie always re-
lieved the newest guests at the hotel
of their pocketbooks for breakfast,
reserving his big hauls for the turf.
His fame became cosmopolitan when
It was found that it was he who stole
tbe Prince of Wales' purse when the
prince attended the (Jrand Prix.
When he came near the late Baron
Hirsch a few days after this esca-
pade, the latter laughingly shrugged
his shoulders, and said: "My dear
fellow, you come too late. 1 have
just lost all my pile on the favorite."
"I shall be more careful next time,"
said Fred, and disappeared in the
crowd.
June 30th, the end of the fiscal
year, saw the pension roll near to a
million mark, '.183,528, or more per-
sons than are upon the active roll of
any army in the world, and involving
a heavier annual disbursement than
is required for the support of any of
those great. European armies of whom
wu hear so much from Fourth of
July orators. Verily the people of
these United States charge a good
price for their patriotism, and come
nearer to making merchandise of it
than any other people in the world.
It seems from these figures that at
least one person in every fifty in the
North and West is on the pension
rolls, and tens of thousands of others
are clamoring for recognition. Either
the men of the South did wonderful
shooting or somebody else has done
wonderful lying.—Aberdeen (Miss.)
Examiner.
The price of cigarettes has been
advanced by the manufacturers and
the retailer will be under the neces-
sity of increasing the cost to the con-
sumer to save his margin of profit.
Dealers are haggling over the matter
now with the prospect that >he re-
tail price of the cigarettes manufac-
tured by the trust will he doubled.
One result will be to make it harder
for the small boy to obtain his usvial
supply of "cofliu tacks."
A sensible Chicago preacher has
been saying: "There is no substi-
tute for morality. There is no ma-
chinery that can make an honest gov-
ernment when there are only dishon-
est men to run it. Civil service is
good, but even an absolute tuerit
system, in which every olllcial, up to
and including the president of the
United States, should be chosen by
examination, would not insure purity
in politics so long as vast wealth-
units wish to bribe and office holders
are willing to be bribed. All this
shows that no device of legislation
can remedy the evil effect of a venal
people. The only sure, safe and
peaceable foundation of government
is popular honor aud honesty. This
is a 'rock of ages' upon which if any
institution is built, it slutll not be
moved."

THE TRtJE WIFE.
Oftentimes 1 have seen a tall ship
glide by against the side as an in-
visible bowline with a hundred
strongs against it. Her sails un-
filled, her streamers dropping; she
had neither side wheel nor serene
triumph, as with her own life. But
I knew that on the other side of the
great ship, hidden beneath the great
bulk that swam so majestically there
was a little tailsome steaming tug,
with a heart of fire and arms of iron,
that was tugging bravely on, and
I knew that if the little steaming tug
untwined her arms and left the ship,
it would wallow and roll about, and
drift hither and thither, and go off
with the refluent tide, no man knows
whither. And so 1 found more than
one genius, high-decked, full freight-
ed, idle-sailed, gay-penoned, that
but for the toiling arms and brave
beating hearts of the faithful little
wife that nestles to him so that, no
wind or wave could part them, would
have gone down with the stream aud
been heard of no more.—O. W.
Holmes.
Dr. J. I). Fields, of Manor, has
made complaint in Justice Stewart's
court, at Austin, against A. C. Bald-

them with criminal libel. Outline
An attache of the New York Mu-
seum of Natural History has been
conducting a peculiar inquiry in the
shopping region. He has been in-
specting feminine head-gear there,
and has compiled a list of birds which
he saw adorning the same. Forty
species are represented, including
thrushes, warblers, shri'tes, fly-catch-
ers. tanagers, swallows, waxwings,
grosbeaks, sparrows, orioles, wood-
peckers, jays, owls, grouse, doves,
quails, shore birds, herons, gulls,
terns and grobes. In all he saw I 7,'5
wild birds or parts of them on the
headpieces. Appeals to the women
to wear no bird-borrowed plumage
appear to be iu vain.

The state of Georgia is 81,000,000
short in tax returns All except
eleven of the 137 counties have made
their retuansof taxable property, and
of this number eighty show iucreases
and forty-six decreases, as compared
with the returns of last year. The
total decrease for eighty counties is
81,606,'.116, and the decrease for
forty-six is 8<r>,606,091. The few
counties not reported will not change
these figures materially. The tax
rate this year will be higher than
every before.
Since the war Indiana has spent
8180,000,000 for public education,
and is spending now 86,000,000 an-
nually. It possesses school property
to the value of $20,000,000, and its
productive school fund amounts to
more than 810,000,000.

In Washington county a 1-year old
child was left in charge of a 6-year
old while its parents were picking
cotton. The little one climbed on
banisters and got fastened in such a
way as to break its neck, where it
was found dead by the parents when
they returned from the field.
At Ediuhrug, Texas, the Rio
Grande is reported higher than known
for two years. Many fields of cotton

it is believed when the water goes
down much of the town of Edinburg
will fall into the river. The rise is
from the San Juan in Mexico.
A priest of New Jersey has for-
bidden the young women of his parish
to go on a picnic with the young men
of the Total Abstinence Society. His
reason was that they "would let the
young men kiss them in the moon-
light if they went." Obviously total
abstinence in this case, does not mean
abstention from all the intoxications
of life.
