Interest Should be Required.
Senator KaufTinan's bill to secure
the State tho benefit of interest on
its bulunees in bank is likely to be
better supported now than it was
two years ago. It will Lave oppo
sition of course, but it will hardly be
allowed to die in committee unnotic
ed, a; a fcimilar bill did in tho la-l
legislature.
There is an nctivo sontimcnt for
the measure now which is manifest
ed for the first time. It was just as
jjood a measure to pass it two yearn
ago as it is now, but it had not then
been miie'i discussed. For several
months now it has neen tho suwcci
of pretty general treatment by the
newsp ipeis of the State, and all that
have anything to say are warmly in
favor of some legislation that shall
secure the payment of interest to
the State. If any newspaper of any
party is opposed to that policy it
bus not si von the least indication of
it. All tlm opinion expressed lias
been in behalf of tho proposition
which Senator Kauffmau has
brought forward.
At present there is from $1,000,
000 to .",000,000 deposited in various
banks of the State. Only the favor
er batiks get this money. The State
gets no interest. Senator Kaufl'man
proposes to charge banks '2 per cent
for tho use of money. This is a
rate low enough. Yet this rate will
yield to the State hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year.
These banks use this money and get
C per cent for it. The farcers and
peoplo residing in theso districts pay
interest to the bank for tho money
while tho banks pay nothing for the
use of the money. Some banks have
as high as $100,000 of the State's
money or a clear profit to the bank
of $(iooo.
This is an outrage and a law such
as Senator Kauffman . proposes
should bo enacted.
Proposed Robbery.
The Andrews investigating com
mittee proposes to present a large
bill for expenses incurred in iuves
tigating tlin municipal affairs of
Philadelphia. The committee in tho
first place expected to present a bill
for $100,01)1). Tito committee had its
headquarters at Hotel Walton in
Philadelphia and lived like king and
lords. The State is responsible ler
the payment of actual expense in
curred becausu tho city of Philadel
phia is chai tored by the State. Who
can figure out an expense of $100,
000 for seven men at l! or H sittings
in Philadelphia ?
There are rumors afloat that the
committee has reduced the bill to
$10,000. Kven this amount is an
outrageous charge. The actual ex
penses will not exceed $10(10, but
even allowing tho committee good
pay for their time, the bill should
not be over $10,000. If the Legisla
ture pays any more than this they

ARMLESS WONDERS.

A reporter mi trolling along a
prominent thoroughfare on Walnut
Bills the other day, says the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, 'when he cams up
on a business room that was being
remodeled and improved prepara
tory to occupancy. The carpenter
who was doing the work was a one
armed man, and not only managed
his hatchet and saw skillfully, but
was quite intelligent in conversa
tion. Be did not appear to bemoan
the fate that had deprived him of a
good strong arm, but regarded it
with the air of a philosopher. Be
aid that he was not the only one
arniod oarpenter in Cincinnati that
he knew of four or five others.
Another oho armed man familiar
to residents of the hill, whose mis
fortune would seem to interfere
with his avocation, hut does not, is
the driver of one of the big oil tank
wagons. Be does everything re
quired of a man with two arms in
suoh a position, from driving the
team to measuring out the oil and
delivering it to his customers.
Judging from tho following in
stances, published in an English jour
nal, it would soem that the absence
of one or even both arms noed not
intorforo with one earning one's
bread and butter:
"Ono of tho leading Belgian artists
of tho prosont day is a gentleman
who, in default of arms, paints with
his foot. His nnmo is Fohu. Ho lives
at Antwerp, where ho has a spacious
atelier in the mnrkot plaoe.
"Ho usos his supplo foot, without
any apparent effort,- to opon his col
or box, clean his brushes, sot his
palette and arrange his writing ma
terials. Uo paints with surprising
swiftness and dclioncy of touch. It
may be said of him, too, that he
writes an oxoollont foot. Ono of his
friends says his writing is as bold,
froo and flowing as any handwriting
with which ho is acquainted. He is,
moreover, a man of gontlo nature,
courtly in mannor, of highly oulti
vatod intolligenco and no loss en
gaging in specoh than in appearance,
"Earhor in tho prosont century
there flourished another armloss art
ist, a lady named Hawlin, who, bo-
sides painting very tolerable pio
tures, learned to do with hor toes a
variety of interesting and ingonious
things out out watoh papers and
tbo like. She grasped and worked
hor scissors in some way that has
never been explained.
"Miss Biffin was only a triflo less
unfortunate. She was born without
toes or hands, and without any more
arm than was represented by a
stump out short above the elbow,
Yot she nianagod to make for her
self a oomfortablo living in the ar
tistic way.
"She painted miniutures with ex
quisite neatness and aocuruoy and
added to this by cutting out paper
profiles with the aid of her mouth,
a pair of scissors and hor two little
stumps. Tho Earl of Morton employ
od her to paint some portraits for
him and introduced hor to tho notice
of royalty, who nlso patronized hor
and put her in way of obtaining
advanced lessons in painting from
ono of tho foremost men of tho day.
Ho also gave her a small pension,
with tho aid of which she sot up ns
a regular professional. She foil in
lovo and married, but carried on her
work and was always known under
her maidon natno."

The Chlniwe Specter Onee Mara.
It scorns very strange and ridicu
lous to western nations that such an
ingonious, and, in thuirway, loarnod
people ns the Chinese should bo so
ignorant, not only of western na
tions, but of matters i in mediately
concerning themselves and thoir
own country. But what if some day
the Chinoso should, ns a nation,
awake to what is going on in the
world? Suppose China's hundreds
of millions of peoplo were to reor
ganize after modern methods and,
with drillod armios of millions of
men, sot forth on a career of con
quest? That specter has mora than
onoe boon conjured up by writers of
fiction, but is thoro any great im
probability about it, after all? Pos
sibly it is a good thing for the rost
of the world that China's poaooful
millions know so little of the great
events and movements of modern
history. Should they set out to
make history also af tor the modern
fashion some of tho wostorn nations
might regret that China had been
