lion. Carroll D. Wright's new book, 1
"Outlines of Sociology," contains this
passage: "A poor man may make a
sriminal use of wealth as well as the
ich. He may use it in the purchase
jf those things that perish with the
use and that, result in no good to him
self or bis family. He may spend it in
some form of riotous living, or in the
insane attempt to keep up appearances
which are not legitimate." 1 his ought
to be profitable reading for several mil
lions of people, says the Youth s Com
panion; indeed, for that \ast. majority
who are living on small incomes and
who never think of themselves as
"poor." The rich are few; they have
no monopoly of moral responsibility,
either for getting or for using, 'ihe
man who has but a dollar is "wealthy '
to that extent, and he is under the
same law with him who has a million.
But why talk of "criminal uses of
wealth?" Because one may be quite
as selfish and dishonest in wrongfully
using as in wrongfully getting. Hus
bands and wives may really steal from
each other and from the household in
order to spend on personal gratifica
tions. The man will have his beer and
tobacco, and the woman her gewgaws
and fripperies, even if house and chil
dren are rolibed of things necessary
to their welfare. Why not call it a
breach of trust? But the waste of
means, on the part of those who can
least afford it, often results from mere
light-mindedness. Not a few people
ought to appreciate the feeling o£ the
colored sister who had come into pos
session of a very small fortune. She

A recent surgical case in Baltimore
demonstrates that a man may have
suddenly shot into his head a chisel
H'/g inches long, one inch wide and one
fourth inch thick and not know it is
there until he suffers from a stiff neck
and an impediment in his speech. The
man in the case is a machinist who was
at work with rapidly revolving chisels.
They were flung out and his face, as he
supposed, wounded in two places.
Three weeks later his sensations were
so unusual that the X-ray was applied
and the chisel distinctly seen, with one
end near the ba.se of the nose and the
sharp end almost touching the back
bone. It.was removed \sith little diffi
culty and the interesting patient ex
pects soon to return to work.
The official figures in the report of
the bureau of statistics, treasury de
partment of the United States, show
that there were imported last year
into this country 1,539,050,750 grains
of quinine, or about 20 grains for each
inhabitant. -More than 125,000,000
grains were consumed by the United
States soldiers during the last year,
and it is stated that the people of this
country consume one-third of the
quinine of the world.
The lowest, estimate of the loss from
the ravages of the pea louse in Mary
land this season, given by the most
conservative authority, is $3,000,000.
That this enormous loss should have
be en attributed to a single species, es
pecially one new to science, hardly
seems possible. The loss in other states
has been as great as
in Maryland. Never in the history of
economic entomology has a similar
case been recorded.
Out of 1,100,000 in Massachusetts en
gaged in gainful occupations, only 37,-
000 are employed on Sundays. This
does not include those in domestic
service, but does include 18,000 per
sons employed on railroads and steam
boats. The remaining 19,000 are em
ployed in hotels, restaurants and
other miscellaneous industries. There
is no increase of Sunday labor, ex
cept in the business of transportation.
Lost —a bunch of Leonids that were
billed to appear a few nights ago and
failed to putin an appearance. A num
ber of scientific searchers are trying
to figure out their whereabouts, but
at last accounts were still unable to
locate the missing comets. The long
expected sky shooters have probably
resolved themselves into leo-nits by
this time.
WAGES ON THE INCREASE.
Deaeflernt of thf Vl'Uf Syi

Iran Uiirklnnmi'ii.
A very convincing proof of the pros
perity of llie United States is the in
crease in wage-earning capacity that
has come with the return of "good
times." In fact, there would be no real
prosperity unless this result followed,
for again in the volume of business and
vast industrial expansion, unaccom
panied by larger employment ;md bet
ter pay for labor would be an impos
sibility.
The Protectionist, which makes a
careful study of industrial statistics, es
timates on the best authority obtain
able and from the most reliable re
turns in repl.v to inquiries covering the
whole country that the aggregate in
crease in the wage-earning power of
workingmen during the present year
has been $150,000,000. That is, since the
beginningof 1899, through the revival of
commercial activity, the wage earners
have received that much more than
they did in 1898.
Last year was a fairly prosperous
one, as conditions improved rapidly in
ivi7 and 189S. It is not possible to give
flic exact figures of wages paid to
American labor, skilled and unskilled,
in either year. But it is certainly safe
to assume that the earnings were not
less than in 1890, when the last census
was taken. The official report placed
the wages paid in ISOOat $2,25ri,2tC„129.
The addition of $150,000,000 to that sum
would bring the total up to $2,433,210.-
529. The bulk of this amount, of course,
goes for living expenses, and that is
what keeps the wheels of trade turning
merrily in countless directions. Hut a
goodly proportion of the wages earned
passes into the savings banks. And up
on this subject the New York Commer
cial has a few sensible words to say:
It Is a concrete fact like this (the show
ing of Jl.Vi/'XI.WO Increase In wages) against
which school men and theorists have to
contend when they set forth the ad
vantages of low prices and a low cost of
living, with their Inevitable attendant low
wages. That community is always most
prosperous in which high wages prevail
for everything, including the value get
upon brawn, as well as the cost of bread.
It is contended by some badly informed
persons that the majority of artisans dis
sipate whatever surplus wage thi y receive
in riotous living. And the point is made
that the gr. .-iter the surplus the more
mischief it is likely to work. That is nil
wrong. The increasing number of small
depositors in savings banks and other in
stitutions gives the lie to any slander upon
th<_• moral character of wage earners itt> a
class. Wendell Phillips once said: 'The
mainspring of our progress is high w m-s
—wages at such a level that the working-
man can spare his wife to preside ov- r u
house, can command leisure, go to lectures,
take a newspaper and lift himself from
the deadening level of mere toil.' No
wonder the people have just refused to
denounce by their ballots a system which
has k. pt them well fed und made them
prosperous."
The American workingman is Hie
best paid employe in the world. And
that happy condition is due to two
things' I'd hiu mm superior intelli
gence and to the wise system that pro
tects him against, the cheaper labor of
countries. —Troy Times.
BRYAN'S CANDIDACY.
Terrific Showing; of the Country**
Lurk of Confidence in the
Democracy.
A traveler setting out from Portland,
Me., might traverse the entire conti
nent to Portland, Ore., without putting
his foot upon the soil of any democratic
state or territory, save that in passing
from lowa to Kansas he would be
obliged to cross the southwestern cor
ner of the state of Nebraska—liryan's
state—which has just been carried by
populists and democratic candidates
representing his principles. Our neigh
bor. the World, publishes a map of the
union with those states and territories
which at their most recent elections
have been carired by the republicans
printed in dark shading, the democratic
states being white. As democrat ie there
appear only the old southern states,
minus West Virginia and Kentucky,
but. reenforced by Missouri. Nebraska.
Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and
Montana. Nineteen states are demo
cratic, and the rest, including all the
most populous states, arc republican.

This is a terrific showing of the
country's want of confidence in the
party of Bryan. And it does not tell
the whole story, for K is not open to
question that Maryland would vote
against him should he be again nomi
nated. Montana and Idaho, even, fed
lowing the example of Wyoming and
South Dakota, might return to the re
publican column. On the other hand,
should Washington. Wyoming and
South Dakota give their votes to Bry
an, as they did in IS9C>, the defection
of those states would be nearly offset
by Maryland, so that the table we
give above represents the full strength
of Bryan iu the union. The wildest
dreamer,the most irresponsible vision
ary that ever invaded a political head
quarters. could not take the map of
the union as the states stand to-day
and figure out a majority or anything
like a majority of the electoral col
lege for Bryan.—N. Y. Times (Dein.).

A good many democrats, now that
they fully comprehend the import of
the recent elections, are disposed
to express grave doubts regarding the
candidacy of Mr. Bryan. Among others
the two senators from Virginia are
reported as adverse to the renominatiou
of Mr. Bryan because he would be
doomed to defeat at the outset. I here
has been no more strenuous advocate
of sixteen to one than Senator Daniel,
of that state. These democrats who
are. saying since the election that "Bry
an will not, do" —and there are many
such —are not fair to the traveling can
didate for the presidency. They were
entirely willing that Mr. Bryan should
make an experiment with nonexpansiou
or anti-imperialism or militarism as an.
issue. Some weeks before the election
there was a conference in Chicago of
those opposed to the president's Phil
ippine policy. The men of national rep
utation, chiefly independents, who op
posed Mr. Bryan ill IS9i> were reported
to Lie either present or consenting to
the action that should be taken. 1 hete
men then declared that the silver ques
tion should uot stand as a buffer be.
tween Melvinley and his Philippine pol
icy, as the expansion policy of the pres
ident was infinitely more dangerous to
the liberties of the paople than the
free coinage of silver. Mr. Carl Sehur4
was very vehement in this sort of dec
laration. Some of them declared that
they would support Mr. Bryan as
against the war policy of the president.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican de
clared that each word of Mr. Sehurz's
speeches was worth a thousand votes
against the policy of expansion. In
short, all the sympathizers with Agui
naido did whatever they could to in
duce Mr. Bryan to champion the cause
of Aguinaldo in some form, lie ac
cepted the suggestions and advice of
these men. He wabbled about expan
sion and the declaration of independ
ence, and finally came out strong
against imperialism, and particularly
against militarism.
In the late elections, except Nebraska,
tin- eouutr,\ declared for the president's
policy where it had been made an issue.
Most of those who encouraged Mr.
Bryan to a>.-ail 1 lie president's policy
now admit that any phase of the ques
tion of expansion will not do in 1900
unless the president shall make some
blunder. Nor do they stop there; they
turn upon Mr. Bryan and say that they
will be. sure to be defeated in 1900 with
his sixteen to one and his additional
blunder of militarism. This sort of de-
I sertion is simplv contemptible. ln-

PLAIN VERDICT OF OHIO.
A Poxillvo of tin 1 I'reai
<l. ii I'M Policy in (lie Philip-
Untlrr.
There is attempt to cheapen the re
publican victory in Ohio and 10 argue
that it should no! be regarded as an in
dorsement of President Me Kin ley's
po'.iey of maintaining American rights
in the Philippines. The position thus
advanced is not tenable. Ohio's expres
sion is in essence a formal and un
equivocal approval of the administra
tion's course throughout.
The result in Ohio means that what
ever there may be of differences of
opinion as to the future disposition of
the islands; whatever form of govern
ment congress may. in its wisdom, con
elude to establish there, the president
is upheld by the American people, is
supported by the republican party in
tlie able and patriotic manner in which
he has discharged this duty thrust upon
him by the fortunes of war, waged in
the cause of humanity and the estab
lishment of civil liberty on the ruins of
an overthrown oppression.
This was made a leading issue of the
campaign by unfair and unreasonable
attacks on the part of the opposition.
It was accepted by the republicans,
without evasion or apology. The Com
mercial Tribune, in advocacy of the
election of Judge Nash and the repub
lican state ticket, declared specifically
and reiterated at lenglth that a pro
nounced victory for the ticket must be
regarded as positive indorsement of the
administration's resistance of insurrec
tion and protection of all legitimate in
terests in the territory that, by Dewey's
victory, became our ward of war.
That which belongs to the future is
of right left to future arbitrament, but
that suppression of insurrection is a
duty of the present that may not be
shirked or slighted is not to be gain
said. This is one of the significant sen
timents voiced by the people at the polls
in Ohio, and the Commercial Tribune is
in hearty accord with this sentiment,
having urged it as vital that this in
dorsement be given by Ohio to the pol
icy of her distinguished son —the head
of the national administration. —Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

A GAIN OF 8102,000,000.

Itevfiiuc During the I'aat I ear.
Washington, Nov. 29. —Commissioner
George W. Wilson, of the internal rev
enue bureau, in his report to the secre
tary of the treasury of the operations
of his office for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1899, shows that the receipts
from all sources aggregated 827:i,454,-
573, an increase over the previous year
of 8102,(117,000, and an increase of
484,573 over the estimate of the com
missioner made one year ago.
Figures tire presented showing that
the receipts for the first four months
of the current year amounted to 8103,-
103,485, an increase over the receipts
for the corresponding period last year
of 89,378,807. While it may be possi
ble, the commissioner says, that this
large ratio of increase will be main
tained during the current year, he is
of the opinion that it would not be
wise to anticipate such a result. All
things considered the commissioner es
timates that the receipts from all
sources for the present year will ap
proximate 8285.000,(100, which is about
811,500,000 in excess of the receipts for
the year closed .I une 30. 1899.
During the last year officers of the
internal revenue seized 2.190 illicit
stills, and in the discharge of their
duty one officer was killed and three
wounded. Seven hundred and eleven
persons were arrested in connection
with illicit distilling, which is on the
increase in certain sections of the
country.
The commissioner recom me nd s
amendments to the war revenue act
providing that estates in this country
of persons residing abroad at the time
of their death shall be taxed the same
iis the estates of persons residing in
this country. Several other amend
ments to the law regarding the tax on
legacies are suggested.
In order to afford better facilities
for the general distribution of docu
mentary and proprietary stamps, it is
recommended that purchasers of such
stamps be allowed a discount of not
less than 2 per cent, when purchasing
in quantities of not less than 8100. It
is also recommended that agricultural
fairs be exempt from payment of reve
nue tax.

New York, Nov. 28. — llubert (>. Tay
lor. a lawyer, was yesterday appointed
temporary receiver for the defunct
Franklin syndicate bank by Justice
Smith, of the supreme court. The
application was made by W. O. Inglis,
who slated that he held 12 shares in
the company. According to lnglist.be
liabil.iies exceed $200,000, the only
assets being about .$9,000 cash in the
hands of the police. Taylor was re
quired to furnish a bond of $15,000.
Postmaster Wilson, of Brooklyn, has
received an order from the postmaster
general directing him to return, so fur
as pnssil»l*\ to the senders all letters
addressed to the syndicate. About
1,500 pieces of mail, including over
512.000 worth of money orders, have
accumulated since Saturday.
Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings
against the syndicate were instituted
in the United States court yesterday
before Judge Thomas by attorneys
representing depositors whose claims
aggregate over 830,000. These bank
ruptcy proceedings, it is said, will take
procedure over all other claims tiled
against the syndicate.
New York, Nov. 30.—The Kings
county grand jury in a presentment to
the criminal court has censured the
Brooklyn police for what it terms its
laxity in allowing W. 1\ Miller anil
Ceeil Leslie, of the defunct Franklin
vindicate, to escape. The jury holds
that these men could easily have been
arrested after their indictment had the
police been more active.

London, Nov. 27. —Sunday afternoon
the war office posted the following dis
patch, dated Cape Town, from (ien.
Walker:
"Lord Methuen reports that he moved
Saturday at ii:3o a. m. with tlie Ninth
brigade; the mounted corps, the naval
brigade and two batteries, the guards
following with the baggage. Near
(!ras Pan (about ten miles north of
ltelmont on the railway line to Kim
berly), 2,400 Boers witli six guns anil
two machine guns opposed him. The
action began at oa. m. Our batteries
fired shrapnel very accurately till the
heights seemeil clear. Then the naval
brigade and infantry advanced to the
assault. The fighting was desperate
until 10 a. m., when tile heights were
carried. The Boers retreated on the
line, where the Ninth lancers were
placed to intercept them.
"The naval brigade acted with the
greatest gallantry and suffered heav
ily, but no particulars are yet known.
The enemy showed the greatest stub
bornness and must have suffered great
ly. Twenty were buried. It is known
that !!1 were killed and wounded.
More than 50 horses were found dead
in one place.
The admiralty is in receipt of the
following dispatch from Bear Admiral
Harris, dated Cape Town: "1 deeply
regret to report the following casual
ties in the action at I ■ ras l'an: Killed,
Commander Ethelston of the Power

other casualties are not yet known."
Orange liiver, Nov. 'JO. —The British
arms have achieved a brilliant victory.
The enemy, strongly entrenched, held
a range of hillscommanding both sides
of the railway at Rooilaagte, near < Iras
I'an. The Laneashires reeonnoitered
in an armored «train on Friday. The
Boers shelled the train, killing two
men. (len. Metheun then advanced.
His column made a detour and biv
ouacked for the night at Swinkspan,
three miles from the Boer position. At
dawn the advance began. The column
debouched on the plain eastward of
the Boer kopjes. The Boer guns open
ed fire. Two batteries of British artil
lery posted on each side shelled the
lioers, practice being good on both
sides.
The lioers stuck to their positions,
firing steadily and accurately. The
duel, which constantly became hotter,
lasted three hours. The Boer shells
wounded several men of the naval
brigade Finding it impossible to dis
place the Boers by artillery, Gen.
Methuen resolved upon an infantry
attack. A brigade of infantry, with
the naval brigade on the right, gal
lantly stormed the Boer positions in
the face of a withering lire, and ear-
rieil liill after liill, the brigade under
Col. .Money capturing 1 the main posi
tion against a terrific tire, but suffer
ing severely.
London. Nov. ISO.—Twelve hours' re
flection upon Lord Methuen's brief dis
patch concerning the battle of Modder
river has only served to increase pub
lic anxiety and suspense Ail kinds of
speculation are indulged in. In the
absence of any indication as to wheth
er the lioers occupied the north or
south bank of Modder river, the best
opinion inclines to the latter theory.
The Post's military correspondent,
who has usually shown great ability,
suggests that the lioers are still on the
south side of the river and that the
bridge is in their hands, lie points
out "the great danger to the small
ISritish force which crossed on pon
toons.'"
The importance attached to this pon
tooning operation is proved by the fact
that (ien. Carew. one of the only two
brigadier generals, was selected to
superintend it. (ien. Methuen's ac
count of the battle follows:
"Modder River, Nov. £S.—Keconnoi
tered at 5 a. in., enemy's position on
Modder river and found them strongly
entrenched and concealed. No means
of outflanking, the river being full.
Action commenced with artillery,
mounted infantry and cavalry. Ninth
brigade on left, attacked position in
widely extended formation at 0:150 and,
supported by the artillery, found itself
in front of the whole Koer force, *,OOO
stroii,
"The naval brigade rendered great
assistance from the railway. After
desperate fighting, which lasted ten
hours, our men without water or food
in the burning sun, made the enemy
quit his position."
London, Dee. I.—Ueyond the report
from Esteourt that firing was heard in
the direction of Ladysmith on Mon
day, there is not a shred of news of
any kind from the seat of war. A
semi-official statement has been issued
that (ien. Methuen's wound is not seri
ous and that he is expected to be all
right in the course of a few days. It is
certain, however, that the wound will
prevent his being in the saddle and
there is great anxiety to know wheth

Winter In tlie South.
The season approaches when one's
thoughts turn toward a place where the in
conveniences of a Northern winter may be
escaped. No section of this country offers
such ideal spots as the (iulf Coast on the
line of the Louisville &. Nashville Railroad
between Mobile and New Orleans, it pos
sesses a mild climate, pure air, even temper
ature and facilities for hunting and fishing;
enjoyed by no other section. Accommoda
tions for visitors are lir-t < lass, and can be
secured at moderate prices. The L. & N.

The way women trifle with health
shows a degree of indifference is
past understanding. Happiness and use
fulness depend on physical health ; so
does a good disposition. Disease makes
women nervous, irritable and snap
pish. The very effort of ailing women
to be good-natured makes them ner
vous. Write to Mrs. Pinkham, she will
help you to health and happiness.
