This eeaich takes Kenerally two houis and durinfr it the passenger has not only to bo held under suspicion us a perjuier but also to set) nil his effects exposed, nittcle by aitlcle, to tho public kuzp, even lo tho soiled linen In his alise. In the case, of women paiyenKers this amounts to dowmlKht brutality. On this subject the conservative Philadelphia I.edcei is moved to pa : "People Intelligent enough to know thU tho sroverument 'must bo sup ported, and that It Is one of tho (list duties of citizens to support It, do not objectto tho duties ImpoSw-d upon Im ported' art Ichs, but they do, and prop in ly, object to the mles luld down for the collecting of tho Imposta. They ob ject, and properlj, to be openly treated n-4 swindlers and perjuiers. They ob ject to mnkliiRswoin statements vvhldi tho inspectors de'clnro they believe falso by subsequently making rigorous examinations, They object, espclally io,llned women, to huvlns every article of their clothing nnndied and Inspected before their ueu by the government's employes on an open dock in the pres ence of scores of hundreds of uuiious onloolecis. Tho whole system provid ing for the collection of duties on pas setigets' luggage Is ns discreditable to the government as it Is annolng nnd distressing to tho lctims of It." The AVatlilngton Post with more abandon adds: "We can imagine a monkey like Agulnaklo Instituting such nonsense for the purpose of plajlng tricks upon the traveling public nnd simultaneously feeding his appetite for implike antics. To learn that it la a solemn edict of tho United States Treasury depart ment, Is to know the possibilities' ot a blush. An thing more exasperating, and wantonly nnd fiultlessly distress ing to every one It touches, has not et ben conceived or put Into execu tion by am civilized government." The olllclals of the treasmy depart ment say the newspapers are exagger ating It Is to be hoped to.

The president's ioure in this matter Is an exhibition of his sMiipathetle nature which wlU be betlet appreciated by civilians tbnn by men leaied In the atmosphere of mllltdi v discipline. Tho Next Census. Kepiesentatlve Hopkins, ot Illinois has Intiodueed and tho house has passed a bill in relation to the ii xt decennial census which possesses mult It limits the scope of the cen sus iniiulij to facts of chief Import am e and i (.quires? that the report shall be completed nnd published before Jan. 1, linn. Nine oars and four months intervened before the tenth census was published, and eight eals and thiee months bofoie the completion ot the eleventh census. Information under this slow proiess becomes obsolete ijng befoic It reaches the eye of the public. The Ilooklns bill futther provides that the next cennus shall be a fed eral depaitment In Itstlf, accountable dlrectlv to the president, and adds the selection of enumerators to the patron age of membcis of congress. This lat ter piovlslon will excite the lesentment and opposition of the civil service ie foi mors, but It Is probably the only feasible way to organize a temporaty census within the specified limit as to time. What tho country needs is n per manent census organized on scientific lines, haviiiK no connection with poli tics of the paitlsar1 variety and able to repoit salient facte as to population and commerce, not once In ten jcars merely, but eveij ear, if necessaiy. Joseph Dunlop, the founer publisher of the Chicago Despatch, ha Just 1mm n leleasea from Jollet prison, when 1 has been lonllned dining the : . twenty-one months. Dunlop's casi Is an lmpresslvj lesson of the dlsastious ' results that sometimes follow an abu.o of the power of the press As editor and publisher of the Despatch, an afta noon paper which gained great popu laritv in Chicago, Dunlop appears to have been imbued with the idea, which has often beer, cherished right hoie In Scianton, that there Is now law that can touch the editor of a newspapn'. He openly defied tho law and liUEhed at those who thieatened to lead him lo Justice When finally brought to bay he made a stubborn fight by the aid of tli- most leal nod counsel, but was at Iabt convicted and sent to the peniten tlaiy. During his Incaiceratlon the Despatch misted Into other hands and it is said that ho will be obliged to en gaije in atiolliet legal fight to letfalu his propel ty. Dunlop's expeiit'iid. is one which pioves conclusively that the mis-application of gvnlus is almost leitain to be followed by unpleasant eon.'t fcuences Tho leglslatuip of Noith Carolina has made a good slait towaid the polu U.ii ot tho eonvlit labor pioblem by tnae'lnir n law providing that ceitain i lasses of convict? committed for small offences may be employed on county tin ins in lalsins food supplies for ihenisilvei and the county poor und miiv ,no be used In the eonstiuctlon of public toads. An idle convict Is both a public crime and a public loss. A Democintli' paper published nt Washington afflinib thut tho piesident has reeoiipidcred his foimcr intention tu modify the blanket order whereby his predecessor llvetcd a lot of Demo ciatlc incompetents In tho public ser vice. On this subject the public will decline- to accept Democratic authority. The case's of Mrs. Mooie and Mrs. Vfimuplo, of New Yoik, suggest that when n pretty woman Is defendant bet tei u-siiitH can be obtained by a Jury composed entlioly of blind men.

That was rough, but, like many nnothcr man, he kept on. Yet one more slgnbo.'d faced him: "Sinner, you nro lost forever!" "God help us!" cried tho drummer, "between nil these signs what's a poor lost devil to do''" "Git right down on ver knees," cried a volco from tho bushes, "an' crv for mercy! Down with you, an' holler ter grace'" That was too much for him. and, put ling spurs to his horse, he fled like tho wind, nor did he stop until ho l cached a railroad whero he signaled a freight tnln and shook the dust of that ghostly neighborhood from Ills shoes. m WISE AND OTHERWISE.

So acute, in fact, at times, a to produce dreadful headaches that, notwithstanding all the outdorr work afforded me by my vocation, and the latitude it allowed me to test my pedestrian abilities which is buppostd to be a successful manner of displacing constipation I was very often compelled to forego my pursuit of 'business.' Constipation with me seemed to be hereditary rather than due to accidental causes, therefore much harder to relieve. In my extremity I often resortetl to most drastic measures, but found no cure to be permanent. In 1892, while con nected with the Times of El Paso, Tex., Ripans Tabules were brought to ray notice, and I used them with marked success. Nowadays I never suffer from such severe cases of constipation, and the violent headaches I formerly experienced never worry me in the least. Some times, though, when I allow myself to lapse for a period into irreg ular habits, I become slightly constipated, but by taking the Tabules according to directions, my bowels again perforin their functions in a highly pleasing manner."
