cording to its wealth.
Don M. Dickinson has apparently
started out to become tho .James (i.
Blaine of the Democratic paity. If
Don can -tiye up to that ideal ho will
do much 'toward the gloriiicatiou of
true Americanism, which, after all,
is better than being President.
Last December, in his report to
Congress, Secretary Carlisle estimat-
ed the deficit fi>r the present fiscal
year at 120,000,000. The Treasury
brings the deficit above #50,000,000.
The Secretary is better at making a
deficit than at prognosticating its
extent.

Worth June 11, 12 and 13th. One

Tiik recent byo-eletrions for va-
cancies in the British Parliament
bode no good for the Liberal party.
The Tory victories, with astonishing
majorities, suggest that in the com-
ing general elections Rosebery and
his colleagues will have a hard
struggle to be returned to power.
Tun Memphis money convention
is in no sense a popular assemblage,
being composed of delegates repre-
senting bodies with an aggregate
membership of less than 5000, but
as it affords the only chance for tha
administration to cackle over
Southern occurrence, it must make
the most possible of it.
Mish Maboaket JJuhkows of New

It will have to be admitted that she

worth of her money as any of the
American girls who havo bought
names during this or even last sea-
son.

Germanv proposes to take the lead
in tho settlement of the currency
question by international agreement,
based upon a bimetallic basis. With
Germany, Franco and tho United
States in favor of bimetalism, your
Uncle John Bull will brush away
his cobwebs of prejudice against the
white metal or take a rear position
in the general procession.
Mb. Scott Wire, who got tho of-
fice of Assistant Secretary of tho
Treasury for his cuckooism, an-
nounces the intention of gold bugs
to bolt the party next year. ' True
Democrats," said Mr. Wike, "will
only cease to co-operato with their
party when on the financial and cur-
rency question it refuses to stand
for a sound currency." No doubt
Assistpftt Secretary Wike thinks
with Mr. Buchanan that the salva-
tion of the country requires that
Cleveland shall be renominated and
and re-elected by tho mugwumps
and Republicans.
"The Devil was sick.
The Devil a Saint would be ;
The Devil got well,
Devil a Saint was he."
Confronted with an outbreak
which she finds herself powerless to
■oppress, Spain now proposes to
offer conciliatory terms to the patri»
ote, provided they will lay down
their arms. After years of merciless
tyranny and oppression, she finds
that the spirit of liberty and inde-
pendence has asserted itself, and in
her desperate (ear is willing to make
any concessions that will save to
her, even in name, the "ever faith-
ful isle." But the patriots of Cuba
know that no reliance is to be placed
in the treacherous promises of the
Bother coontry. Thev remember
tho broken pledges of 1878 and will
refooo to lay down their arms until
independence, clear and without
conditions, is secured.
BUSINESS SAFEGUARDS.
We say a man has failed because
ho gave credit too freely, when per-
haps the real reason was that he lost
control of his accounts. Another
mau is said to have failed because
his expenses were excessive, whereas
if he had kept this profit and loss
accounts well under eye, he would
have come out all right. Some one
elso fails because too much of his
money is in outside investment, but
if his business had beea cast iu a
proper framowork of bookkeeping
tho money would not have gone out.
Iu nearly overy specific form to
which a causo of failure is referable
there is a possibility of bad book
keeping being involved. It is there^
fore not improbable that it is as
fertile a cause of failure in this coun-
try as it is in England, and a far
more cardinal cause than any other
except long and lax credit. It is a
pity that every merchant had not the
bsuefit of a thorough drill in an
office before undertaking business
on his own account, that he might
acquire the systematic habits which
control the conscience of the veteran
accountant. Such a training would
not only make the merchant orderly
iu his books and commercial meth-
ods, but would put him under the
influence of idoas that would com
bat the temptation to be over in-
dulgent with creditors. It is not
the men who havo most need of
money that aro the best collectors,
but it is the men who havo the
strictest sense of business tidiness.
These men do not feel that their
bookkeeper is complete until every
account h balanced by payment.
Syi-tem makes them better col
ledors than necessity makes others.
that the adoption of the policy out-
lined in the resolution would result
in financial disorder and confusion.
Chancellor Von Hohenlohe said that
tho Prussian ministry had not de-
cided on tho course it. would follow
in respect to the motion, and there-
fore it could not adopt a definite at-
titude, yet the government would
submit the silver question to further
examination in concert with the
federal states. The government was
also willing to ultimately confer
with the other powers on common
measure! to be adopted. The basis
of discussion, however, must first be
settled, and when tho answers of the
countries consulted were received
renewed attempts would be made to
continue the international exchango
of views.
THE HOC LAW
THE FOXV JAPS*
A good deal of mistaken sympathy
is being wasted just now on the
new national star "that has arisen
in the Kast." The cry is heard on
all sides that tho plucky "little"
nation has been robbed of the legi-
timate fiuits of victory by a con
spiracy of the powers. There are
several reasons for believing tho
Jnps have not been robbed. In tho
first place, they are now a warlike
people and perhaps nothing would
please them better than a "brush"
with Russia. Therefore, unless they
were far-sighted as well as warlike
they would not have submitted with-
out a fight to the terms dictated by
tho powers. And besides, the war
indemnity secured was after all tho
greatest, all things considered, of
modern times.
Russia has one seaport of conse-
quence near the Corean frontier.
For years tho Muscovite has looked
with longing eyes on the eastern
coast of that country and prayed
for a chance to seize u harbor fur-
ther south, for Vladivostock is frozen
up four months out of twelve. The
bungling diplomacy of the young
Czar's advisors, while it has given
him ephemeral glory as the arbiter
of affairs in tho Orient, has indefi-
nitely postpoued any further en
croachment on his part in the Eo.it.
He has himself set a precedent.
Japan will spend her smart monoy
on a navy and whon the Northern
Bear begins to move south the
Yankee of tho Orieut will order
"Hands off!" and be in a position to
ouforco the order without great loss
of life.
Ex-President Harbison has sound-
ed tho keyword of the next cam-
paign. "Mum's" the word.
The United States railway mail
clerks want their salary raised and
then fixed by law. They say they
are tho only Government employes
whoso salaries may be cut down at
will by officials at Washington, and
being subjected to extreme physical
danger during every hour of service
they think they ought to be better
paid. There may be differences of
opinion regarding tho salaries of the
railway mail clerks, but it is not
likely that any one will deny the jus-
tice of the appeal for relief from the
petty tyranny of Washington
officials. One of the most aggravat-
ing features of our present system
of public service is that it frequently
affords men who hold good offices,
because they are possessed of po-
litical pulls, opportunities to diss
charge and harrass men who are
faithful and intelligent and who are
generally called upon to perform the
duties from which their superiors
shrink.
The question of bimetallism has
again come to the front in Germany.
The Upper House of the Prussian
Diet on Thursday adopted a resolu-
tion proposed by Count Von
Mirbacb, declaring that steps should
be taken for a prompt settlement of
the currency question by an inter-
national agreement in bimetalism.
The resolution was strongly opposed
by the governor of the Imperial
Bank, who warned the members
A* Amended Ojr the La*t Legislature.
Iii view of the fact that a number of
our country subscriber.* are interested
in the new constitutional hog Jaw
the Han.nkk this morning accords it
spacw iu its columns :
An act to amend articles 400fi, 4<J07

sessment witli the justicoof the peace,
which shall bo final; provided, that
the owner of thestock, if known, shall

and if tho owner is unknown, then a
written notice thereof shall be posted
in two publio places in said subdivis-
ion and one at the door of the court
house of the county; and provided fur
ther, that nothing in tiiis chapter
shall fie construed to doprive the
taker-up of the stock to enforo by suit

any claim he may have for such fees
and damages, and to subject the stock
so taken for the payment of the same
under the provisions of this chapter.
Art. 4607. After the filing of tho

preceding article, the constable of this

suspended, and this law be and is
hereby declared to be iu offect from

This act has immediate effect.
The Only
Your I'byalcal Condition
Needs attention at this time. If you Are
tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your
blood is impure, and without doubt there has
been too much over-work or strain on brain
and body. The course of treatment lor such
a conditioo is plain and simple. The blood
must be purified so that the nervous system,
and in fact all the organs, will be fed upon
pure blood. Intelligent people without num-
ber have testified that the beat blood purifier,
nerve tonic and itrength-imparting medicine
is Hood's Sarsaparilla. Nervousness, loss of
sleep and general debility all vanish when
Hood'a Sarsaparilla is persistently taken ; in
a word, health and happiness folio* after
taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.
