moved him to introduce a bill in tho legis-

(iknekal Joseph li. Johnston is slowly
recovering from blood poisoning caused by
wearing colored stockings or socks. Several
cases ol sickness from the same cause have
lately been reported. This Is a-terrible
warning to that portion of the public who
when it is unusually muddy sometimes in-
advertently treat the spectator to glimpses
of the extent to which colors are used in
fashionable toilettes.
Wit have received tho edition for 1SW of

The government clerks at Washington
are very indignant over the proposition to
make them work eight hours a day and re-
btriclthcm to thirty days leave of absence
each year. Tbey now have to labor six
hours per day and get a couplo
of months vacation. Thia ' It
terrible of Itself these clerks say
and Is breaking them down. The charac-
ter of brain that nature has given them aud
the habits they so industriously cultivate
il U doubtless true cannot stand even the
six hours' strain. But there are thousands
of healthy moral and competeut men
young and old in tke country who will be
only loo glad to fill theso clerkships and
work eight hours per day the year through
if the presont force are unable to stand tke
proposed change.
St Valentine's Day! We canremomber
when its recurrence was a season of infinite
enjoyment and the secret but ttone-the-less
ploa.Hu ruble Interchangu of little mis.
sivos of aflecllon and esteem made all
happy. It possibly still has Its attractions
for youth but unfortunately those who
havo outgrown young sentiment now take
advantage of the occasion to vent covertly
their ouvy or malice. The practice of load-
ing down the malls on the "llth of Feb-
ruary with the grotesque and
absurb comic valentines which have
almost taken the placs of the
tinted aud perfumed messages or aflVctlon
and regard which youth looks for so anx-
iously oa this day has welt-nigh robbed
the occasion of all that tendered It a pretty
and harmless custom onoe Still we trust
that the roa'U this morning will carry
enough of love and atingleas fun to coun-
teract or outweigh tho venom that may lay
concealed in many an envelope the carica-
ture with just sufficient basis of fact to ren-
der the recipient miserable and arouse
angry suip'c'oni asatnst his neighbor.

A KGADJL'BTstCMT TUAT HOLLO PAY.
If our Federal legislator! were LaZf as
active in discovering ways and means fur
reducing taxation aud filling the treasury
at the same time without imposing addi-
tional burdens upon the masses of the e
pie as Miey seem to be in hunting up ob
jects upon which to squander the public
money we would soon see a government
run with greater ease an I upon a smaller
taxation basis than any other of like size
a nd importance iu history. There are fea-
tures in the Federal administration over-
looked year after year that operate as leaks
for the loaa ol millions annually. One no
table instance is in the system of allow-
ing fees to thousands of otlicUls
where regular salaries should be paid.
In many instances indeed the fees at-
tached to minor ullices together wtlh the
perquisites amount to wore than the sala
ries paid the cabinet ofticers supreme
judges and other of the highest function
aries ot the government. Such is the case
with collectors and inspectors by the
thousand in the treasury and Interior de-
partments. The places allurd opportuni-
ties that are never neglected to realize Any-
where from $100!) to $25000 per ycar.where
a reasonable salary could be paid and sev-
eral thousand dollars saved to the govern-
ment or people Uu same thing from each
olllce. The aggregate would amount to
hundreds ol thousands of dollars if not
millions. In many sections of tho
country uro ports of entry and custom-
houses where salaries are paid frequently a
large salary where there is literally 1:0
business doue year and year. This careless
system however is auU'ered to remain
without ever a thought being given to it.
For a service iu tins way that is uot worth
$"0ii0 per annum to tho government $100-
V)00 will go out ol tho treasury or the pock-
ets of the people and in the other cases
fees aggregating millions will be allowed
for services thut could easily be obtained
for thousands instead. In all such cases it
Is ot course the many who sull'cr lor the
aggrandizement of thu few. It has become
a common remark that the government is
the best payor and the easiest employer
in the country. So true is the fact aud
so generally recognized is it that men
without distinction will run wild in seuruh
of government employment. Wo do not
think that the government should be stingy
or little in the matter of compensation of
ollicials 'whether of great or minor im-
portance iu the administration of ail'airs
but salaries and tho fees aud perquisites of
ofllce should certainly receive such atten-
tion as will properly adjust them tj the
dignity importance utility and returns of
each li dividual position. TUeio are over
one hundred lliotuand ollices in the hands
of the administration to bs tilled and an
examination of the compensation of this
large army will disclose an utter
want of anything like regulation sys-
tem gradation or justico either to
the public at largo who must pay
these olliciulrt or to tho great body ol tho
ollicials themselves when their labor and
pay are compared the 0110 with the other
among themselves in the presont adjust-
ment of government salaries. Thousands
of these positions urn notoriously mere
sinecures but the rewards of their incum-
bents nevertheless are forced out of the
hard earnings of tho muscle and bruin of
millions of better men. It is beyond dis-
pute bo lar as ovon a cursory glance ut the
condition of the pay-rolls ol the two de
partments will show that re tor ins could be
easily adopted therein in tho matter of the
selection extent und componsutiou ol cleri
cal nud other labor that would
save thousands of dollars annually
to tho government. The task of
looking into tho titudo of statutes on
the subject and scanning the amount of
labor and character and amount of pay
therefor of government officials would be
indeed a great ono but the work is of stilll-
ciont importance and dignity to demand
the attention of some level-headed and pa
triotic reformer. A "readjustment" iu
this direction would merit tho approval ol
the entire country and the "readjuster"
who would bring it about would be the one
man with that distinction who would he en
titled to tho plaudits of his countrymen.
We should like to see some one of our young
and energetic Texas delegation look into
the matter and win the laurels that will
certaluly follow such a reform as wo havo
suggested)
Am Atlanta paper stales that there are two
sate lines of Investments in that city and
word for word its remarks may be applied
to Dallas. We have called attention in these
columns to both subjects before but they
cannot be too frequently dwelt upon. The
paper mentioned says: "The steady in-
erease of our population causes a growing
demand for small houses. This demand
will continuo for a long time to come and
capitalists who make their arrangoiaonts to
supply this pressing want of the publlo will
find that they havo acted wisely. Our
numerous street-car Hues bring the remote
sectious of tho city in close contact
for all practical purposes and par-
ties who contomplate building cot-
tages will not be compelled
to buy high-priced real estate. They can
11 nd eligible locations in the suburbs lie-
aides the interest which this investment
would realize it must be homo in mind
that the real estate thus improved would
probably doublo in value in a few years'
time. The second line of Investments is
manufacturing. The smaller industries
requiring only a moderate amount of capi-
tal open a wide Held in Atlanta. Many of
our flourishing and protitahlo industries
were started a few years sgo bv enterpris-
ing men with capilul raugtng Irom a lew
hundreds to a Tow thousands. Men of
judgment who make their Investments iu
the direction abovo suggested will have
good reoson to congratulate themselves."
A Georgia couple waited ovVr four years
for a good opportunity to elope and Just as
it came the glul's father took the voung
man by tho hand and said: "Speak up to
her Thomas 1 I know sbo loves you and
I'd be tickled to death to have you for a
son-in-law."

rout night but was so illstrossed all over that 1
could not lie still in bed lint would keep turning
aud rolling from one side lo the other all night
so Hint I would feol more tired and exhausted In
tlio morning than u lien 1 went to bed. My con-
dltlon became so serious that 1 was oblinisl to
atop work and for thirty daj-s I was unable to lie
on duly. I consulted the host doctors and tried
the numerous medicine and so-called cures but
rapidly grew worso and was In a ami omniltloa
