Senator German declares the Treas- ury to be insolvent, a fact that no one will dispute, nor dispute the, other fact that the Democrats in the Senate are responsible for this deplorable condi- tion. Eirly in the. session the House ' sent a bill to the Sen rte, which would have pdt the Treasury . on a paying basis, had. Mr. German’s party allowed it to become a law. No Democrat, can justly quote a misfortune his party has deliberately planed, th Enough Equality. It is a very comforting thought to' most of us that while equality on earth is a mere theory and seldom put into practice, there is a place where, if we reach it, we shall be on a perfect equality with every one else. This is our esti- mate of heaven, as impressed upon us from our childhood. and we derive a great deal of solid satisfaction from the very pleasing belief. It must be said, however, that there area great many people who regard ' this prospect rather dubiously and are not very well settled in their own minds as to its desirability or even practica- bility. The consensus of opinion is in Yi’aven‘cf an absolute equality in that .izland to which night can never come. The Bible teaches us that God is no :I-rrespecter of persons, and we know that His son, our Christ, certainly was not a n-respecter of persons during His brief ' existence upon this earthly sphere. He [sat down with publicans and sinners; His companions were the poor and the humble; and for the rich and powerful, those who paid “tithe of mint, anise and cummin,"’F yet disregarded ‘His teachings, He had picnty of sorrowful words. ‘ But if there be the greatly desired perfect equality in the kingdom of the one true and omnipotcnt God, there is certainly too littlei‘quality in His tem- ples here on the earth. The most fas- ionable churches—many of them, at least—draw a dead line over which the poor and uncultured had better not at- tempt to pass. Many of these churches are marvels of stately and costly and luxurious architecture, and are splendid ornaments to the cities where built. It is right to give to God the best of ev- erything, but inside, where Jesus Christ, His only begotten son is com- memorated, would it not be as well to conform a little more strictly to that son’s teachings? ' There is too little equality in the Christian church tea-day. In the fash- ionable churches of the large cities, and where sucha state of things pre- vails, Christ is simply present as a bound and helpless prisoner. Too often Christ is preached but Mammom is practised, and these two masters can- not be served by one and the same per- son. . Let apoorly dressed stranger enter one of our fashionable churches to-day and the sexton would nearly explode with astonishment. Should he so far condescend toward this poor intruder as to other him a seat it would be one away back where there was no danger of his contaminating any of those who pay “tithe of mint, anise and cummin.” Suppose that poor person escaped the vigilance of the church officers and made his way into one of the costly pews where wealth and fashion sit, what would be the result ? Why, the occupants of the pew would be frozen into disdainful statuary in an instant. They would be Galateas, only coming to life when some oflicial Pyg- mal-ion sternly and forcibly removed tow unwilling ofi'ender. Cleanliness is more than akin to godliness; it in ~ godliness itself, in a great measure, and a clean person should, in the house of God at least, be recognized as a brother and be at once on a perfect equality with every other true follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. - ~ ’ The church of Christ. should recog- nize no distinction between those who clim: to the same cross and who pray to the same God. As God is the father of all so should they be the-brothers and sisters of all who stand upon the same rock and have hope in the resurrection from the dead. V ‘ and that he resided in Wilton. GRANTED A nlvcncs, $ays His Wife Was Tired of Her Side Partner. ' ' . A j lily. good natured individual, with Josh Wh1tcomb sort of an expression and a second edition of Cy Prime’s whiskers, ambled forward in a sheepish sort of way when the court called Smith against Smith, at Bridgeport yesterday. This product of the backwoods took the stand and said his name was An- drew Smith, that he was 65 years old, Andrew said when he was a widower he met and courted Catherine C. Seeley who was a “widv” about his own age, he was then just turned 55. In due time the proposal was made and Catherine HOCi‘ptcd without reserve. Andrew’s dream of happiness with his second venture soon proVed a failure. In less than three Weeks Catherine left him for reasons best known to herself. But after an absence of a week she re- turned. She remained 'a little longer this time and then off she went again This she did several times until the final desertion came six years ago. ’Since then Andrew had not seen his wife. “What reason had she for leaving you?” asked Judge Hall. -“I don’t know,” drawled Andrew. “unless she was tried of her side partner and didn’t like her surroundings. She had about everything she wanted.” Andrew’s face spread out into a broad . expansive smile when the court told him he might take a divorce. Levi Warner lent him legal assistance in se- curing the divorce. The Liliputians. Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb.

During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin," of Long Reach, West ’Va, contracted a. severe cold which left him with a cough. In speaking of how he cured it he says: “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a. bottle of Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about a complete cure.” When troubled with a cough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief.

Martin, in hiscomments on "‘This'Busy World,” described with accuracy that intensity of energy and,- excess of' zeal which overtrained the. Cornell crew and led to their ingloriouS-. defeat, he pointed, says Harper’s Weekly, to a trait of American char- acter which must be, estimated and understood by anyone Who undertakes to set forth the existing conditions of American life and development. As Mr. Martin truthfully says: “It has been said‘of politics in this country that it is war. , In the intensity of business competition there seems to be a grow- ing sentiment that business is war.” This merely means that the American pushes every principle to its ultimate logical conclusion, but this is one of the keynotes of American character. It may be a good trait or a bad one, but it is essentially and exclusively an American trait. It is probably the out come of those conditions of freedom under which we struggle and conquer or fall, but it exists in no other country. In this country alone has the principle of business competition been pushed to its utmost. Then, when the limit of competitidn has been ‘reachcd, a struggle equally fierce has developed the principle of combination. and‘podlS', and trusts, and syndicates, and trafiic agreements have shifted the scene and scale and scope of the contest. The principle extends alike to great things and to small ones. We play the game for all there is in it. whether.the game be politics or poker, railroad management or college athletics. It may wear us out, but it does not. let us rust out. It may interfere with our growth in sweetness and light, but it is not a. trait of weakli'ng-s and deca- dents. Above all it is evolution, the development of- natural causes lying down deep at the roots of our national life. , It is a movement we have entered .on, to which we are fully committed, - and which we could not check if we would. A Great Lighthouse. ' On the Pointe de Penmarch, in Brit- tany, the southwestern point of the Finisterre promontory,‘ midway -' be- tween Brest and L’Orient, a new light- house is being erected whose-light will be seen one hundred miles in clear weather, and from twenty-five to twenty-eight miles when the weather is hazy.” It will be an electric light of ten million candle power, and will rise one hundred and eighty-five feet above the sea level, and is to be ready by the beginning of 1897.

PLAGUE os’ RATS AND MICE. f Russian Provinces Overrun with the Post! . and Crops Destroyed. .Such aplague as civilized man never- experienced has, during the past two years and a. half, afflicted the people of certain provinces of Russia. It is a plague of rats and mice. It has caused tremendousdamage to property, and, in some instances; endangered the lives of the people. So abnormal has-been the increase of the pestiferous rodents in certain localities in the agricultural districts that the afflicted provinces have literally been swept clean of grain in both 'field and granary. Having de- stroyed the crOps, the little animals have invaded dwelling houses, and, in scores of cases, ruined them as places of abode. Heroic measures were adopted by the inhabitants to rid themeslves of the plague. Colonies of: cats and terrier dogs were imported into the districts. but after a little while neither the cats nor the dogs would pay the slightest attention. to the rodents. The govern- ment was then appealed to by the suf- fering people and recourse was had to scientific means of ridding the country Eminent bacteriologists were employed by the. government to de- vise plans to inoculate the rodents with infectious disease, and so successful were they that the rats and 'mice died by the million. By this ~ means the early last Summer.

The peasantry believe that the mice un— dertake extensive migrations en in. ":0 of crops in those localities where the mice originated. . . Consul I-Ieena-n says that'millions of the animals were drowned in the wells and rivers, and that, therefore, the pop- ulation of the afflicted localities was. obliged to discontinue the. use of water from the. wells and to abstain from fish, particularly pike, ”as food, because it was discovered. that they contained mice—Cleveland Leader. r EXILED BY A THREAT. Aflan Who Slays Another in Selthefense. 'Becomes a underer. “There. are some men of such unre? lenting purpose that when they once register a. vow to.do a. certain thing no human agency can cause them to alter their resolution,” said George Rice. of Arkansas. _ “He-re is a. lit-tle story taken from_ life, every incident of which came under my own observation. The facts are truly stated, as can be easily verified. ‘ “Abdut ten years ago, in a little south - ern town, two friends of mine, a. young man and‘fa‘fjman'fiof' middle age, had a difficulty, and the former fell dead, “The blame all rested with the de- ceased. He came of a highly-respecta- ble family, but. had fallen into con- vivial habits, and when drinking was very ugly. Timeand again he had made. threats against the man who killed him. Friends-of the latter told him of the threats, and begged him to avoid a meet- ing, which he did whenever possible. At laSt it came to a question of killing or getting killed, and'he obeyed nature’s first law. ‘ ' “A jury «would h. ve cleared him be- yond all doubt if the case had ever come to trial, but it never did. Instead; he forfeited his bond of $8,000,.and the cash was paid over by my hands. The man who did the killing left for parts unknown and has never returned. “Why did he not stand trial? Simply because the fat-her of the deceased sol- emnly declared in the presence of all his townsmen that if John — was acquit- ted of slaying his son he would become, the boy’s avenger. He would kill his son’s slayer. The old man was never known to break his word. His courage was of that desperate kind that feared noth- ing. Nobody doubted that he, would do just what 'he said, so- I advised John —-—— to clear out, and, as there had been enough killing, he went. “Ten years have gone by, and the old father. has never relented. ' He stands readyto-day to make good his oath. Argument and persuasion are useless, and a. ghod man is forced into banish— ment as long as the other lives.”—— 'ash- ington'Star. ' " Uses of Emery. For many y'ears-mostbf the emery has been, brought from Turkey and the Greek islands. Itsvalue for cutting and polishing has been known since the be- ginning of history. Very crude'methods are in use for obtaining this substance for market. Enormous fires are built- on or against the rocks, which are then broken or cracked by throwing jets of cold water against them. Emery has ployment in polishing and cutting. Be- ing so unmanagable, it for along time defied the efforts of man to put. it into available shape, " but at length it was cemented into usable forms, and it was molded into wheels. Emery millstones are a. later-day improvement. They are the most practical of all stones, because they are, not affected by heat, and the face is always sharp. As cutting and polishing powder, emery is of great value, and emery sandpaper is an im- portant article of manufacture.—N. Y. Ledger. ' Pickled Tea. Pickled tea is used in Burmah as a. sort of sauerkraut.
