G eorge F rancis T rain , one of the
most widely known of public men, died
at New York Jan. 18th, aged 76 years.
Only his eccentricity prevented him
from taking rank among the very fore
most, for ho was an able and brilliant
man. Ilia lectures and writings at
tracted much attention, and be was al
ways on the aide of the oppressed and
deserving. ___________
I n the Chicago market Armour and
wheat long» are pulling strings, assist
ed by the war scare in the Orient, and
the nervous shorts are dancing. So
far their gyration» have shaken prof
its averaging *300,009 a day for the
Armour contingent, to say nothing of
the other heavy holder». Every day
that the war cloud hangs in the far
East means fresh disaster for the shorts
and immense profits for the wise ones
who loaded up when the cereal was go
ing begging at 82 cents or thereabouts
I n the Philippines the use of tobacco
is universal. The native child acquires
the tobacco habit as soon aa it is able
to walk. In the northern provinces,
especially, it is no uncommon sight to
see a child dve or six years old puffing
vigorously at a big cigar. The women
smoke fully as much as the men, and
commonly smoke cigars where the men
use cigarettes. In the northern parts
of Luzon immense cigars, often a
couple of feet long and aa thick aa the
wrist, are used. Such a cigar is sus
pended from a rafter of the hou?e by a
string, and smoked during the day by
all the members of the family aa desir
ed.
I t is learned that the United States
"Government has been cautiously and
quietly making Inquiries at the various
foreign capitals supposed to be parti
cularly interested in a peaceful solution
of the Eastern problem, with a view to
accertaining whether anything could
be done toward bringing Russia and
Japan together. It soon developed that
neither of the principals was willing
to solicit the good offices of outside
power» in ths adjustment of their dis
pute, so the movement was never for
mally initiated.
I n a California breach-of-promi*e
suit in which the papers have just been
filed the fair plaintiff seeks*15,000dam
age*. The figure* are not impressive.
Indeed they teem to «trike rather be
low the average quotation for hurt
heart*. In the bill of particular*, how
ever, there Is displayed a capable ge
nius for the tracing of fine and instruc
tive distinction* between various form*
of injury by jilting. The plaintiff doe*
not stoop to the appraisal of lovelet
ter* or the price-listing of courtship’s
kisses. She want* *5,000 for the loss
of a prospective permanent home and
support, *2,500 for “mental suffering,
humiliation and mortification,” and
the re*« of the money for various in
juries of a social nature.
T he society which declare* social os
tracism against divorcees, wearer* of
decollete gowns, gamblers, including
bridge whist players, and user* of
liquor*, has undertaken a big contract.
People who would force other* into
foregoing certain custom* which are
not In accord with their own ideas of
morality, by ostracism, says the Bos
ton Herald, “take a bold step and one
that is not In harmony with individual
freedom of thought and act.” The
purifying of certain social usages, while
very much to be desired, can hardly
be accomplished by the outward appli
cation of remedies. Enlightened meth
od* for the treatment of eruptions of the
body may be studied with advantage
by moral reformers. The accepted
process in these case* is to make a
manifestation of physical impurity heal
from the inside, upward and outward.
I n his inaugural address, before a
joint session of the Mississippi legisla
ture, Governor Vardaman declared
that the growing tendency of the negro
to commit criminal assault on white
women is nothing more or less than the
manifestations of the racial desire for
social equality. In strong terms he
declared that education is the curse of
the negro race, and urged an amend
ment to the state constitution that will
place the distribution of the common
school funds entirely within the power
of the legislature. Continuing bis dis
cussion of the negro question,Governor
Vardaman »aid: “As a race he is de
teriorating morally. Time has demon
strated that he is more criminal a* a
freeman than as a slave; that be is in
creasing in criminality with frightful
rapidity, being one-tMflRhorecriminal
in 1890 than he was in 1880. He also
declared that the people of the nation
should rise up and demand the repeal
of the lfith amendment.
T he postoffice department has issued
a new 2-oent stamp that will replace
the ridiculous Issue now In use. The
most noticeable new feature la the
adornment of the oval frame inclosing
the head of Washington and the adop
tion of a general shield design for the
background. In the upper portion of
the shie.d all but four of the stars are
bidden by the inscription, “United
State» of America, Serie* 1902,” and
by the upper portion of the framed en
graving of Washington, which also
covers the greater portion of the thir
teen vertical stripes. The figure “2,”
which haa been placed at each lower
corner of the frame, is encircled by an
oval laurel wreath. The three-quarter
engraving of Washington, which was
ao severely criticized, haa been replac
ed by an engraving of the Stuart bead.
Beneath thia is a ribbon bearing the
Inscription “1773—Washington—1799.”
The new issue is more neatly executed
*han the «Id, and has a darker tint.
