A postmaster in Newton coun
ty, Ark., has nnade himself so
unpopular by his manner of treat
ing people having business with
his office that the neighbors have
finally driven him out of town.
Several years ago Senator
Ramsey, of Minnesota, offered his
wife her choice of :i new bonnet
or a corner lot in Minneapolis.
She took the lot, and has just sold
it for S90,000. and proposes now
to have that .bonnet.
The most prosperous match
factory in the country is located at
Fargo, D. T. It is the Daily Ar-
(jus, which within a. 3'ear has pub
lished 2,000 letters from as many
young women desiring husbands,
and made as many matches.
"Witiiix a month nine senators
an ! fifteen representatives have
insured their lives in sums ranging
from 10,000 to 50,000. Miller,
of Xew York, took the larger sum.
Call, of Florida, took $25,000.
Five representatives took $20,000
c.ieli, and ten took $10,000 apiece.
Xot since Grant died has there
been such a tribute to any Ameri
can's memorj, as that universally
accorded by the newspapers of the
nation to the memory of the gal
lant Hancock, whose spotless hon
or as a man was equal in fame
with his splendid record as a sol
dier. The English shipyards report
LS8." to have been the dullest year
in their histoiy. On the Clyde the
tonnage of vessels launched was
one-half that of 1S85, less than
half that of 18S3 and smaller than
that of any year since 1S70, ex
cept three. There has been nota
ble incieabe in the use of steel for
constructive purposes in the last
two years.
Congressman Hermann realizes
the importance of the Columbia
bar improvement not only to the
state, but to the entire nation. lie
is indefatigable in his efforts to
open up the great gateways and
loses no opportunity to demon
strate to committee-men and oth
ers the desirability of making such
appropriation as will enable those
in charge of the work to proceed
in a manner that will insure the j
most satisfactory results in th"
speediest time possible.
At Topeka, Kansas, one Wal
ruff, a brewer, brought suit against
the state, alleging that by reason
of the prohibition law his property,
worth $30,000 at the time the law
was passed, was worthless by rea
son of the operation of the law.
The case was tried in the United
States circuit eourt, and Walruff
was given a verdict for the amount
claimed, the judge holding that
while the brewery could be closed
under the laws of the state,
the state would have to n its
owner the value of the proj.j-rty.
N The San Francisco BuU-th, of
jo-loth. savs.-euitoriallv: "If
Senator Mitchell's bill with some
moomcations, or anv mil witn a
like purpose, be passed, ihe Chi
nese question will be solved for all
time. That bill rises fully to the
gravity of the' case. No one favored
Morrow's bill, who didn't know
other and more stringent measures
would have to be adopted. On
this act the people of every citv
and town should be heard on the
question, aud it should be ad
vanced one step on the calendar.
Senator Mitchell's bill is necessa
rily more in accord with the rising
tide of , popnlar determination to
exterminate the Chinese evil, once
for all, than any previous meas
ure." The bill recently passed in the
Brazilian legislature for the gradual
abolition of slavery decrees that all
slaves over CO years of age shall
be free. Those remaining are to
be divided into classes, according
to age and value. The bill pro
vides that in the course of seven-
teen years all slaves are to be free.
As the slaves grow older, after
reaching the ago of the class of the
next lowest price, they are to be
graded in that class. The emanci
pation fund will be increased by a
tax of 5 per cent on all public
revenues, except those derived
from exports. The slave-owners
will be indemnified by payment to
them of 5 per cent policies, equal
to one-half the value of each slave.
After the slaves are freed they
are, under the provisions of the
bill compelled to work for three
years at their old homes at a small
salary, so as to accustom them to
their new conditions of life. This
service is to be taken as compensa
tion for the other half of their
value. It is calculated that slavery
will thus cease within the period
above named, as the law is aided
by emancipation societies.
