Last week there was n greater rush “to swear off taxes” than there has been since 1873* President Barker of the Tax Commission said after taking the oaths of manf men who swore that they had no property and had had roue since Dec. 31; “This city Is absolutely bankrupt, or the people are. If wha| l am hearing every day Is true, and, all told, 1 don’t know where there It such selDeonfere- od, poverty-stricken community as this city of New York.” Congressman K. H. Clarke, recently a candidate for the Democratic nomina tion for Governor of Alabama, but de feated by bis free silver opponent, Capt- Johnston, Is of the right sort of metal, lit says; “We an going to elect the Demo cratic state ticket, and a Democratic Legislature- The indications are that there will be three tickets In the field. The Democratic ticket, headed hr Johnston; a fusion of populists and faction of the Republics ns, probably headed by Representative Goodwin, and a straight Republican ticket, head ed by Governor Burke. No matter how much we may differ on the finan cial queetiona, the Itemocrateof Ala bama are harmonious In agreeing that the beet Irtsreets of the state require that It shall remain uader Democratic control. We are altogether In support of the Democratic ticket, and will elect H fairly aad triumphantly.* Four years ago the lasutorratlc mass et ran away with the party machine and nominated Mr. Cleveland for Pree- Ment In epHa of the politicians. This year the Republican masses are Just as wild In devotion to Major William Mc Kinley, of Ohio, “the young Napo leon** of Choir party.

Ma Is the apostle of a high protective tariff. That Is the medicine with which be proposes to cure the long laatlog epidemic of hard times. If elect ed, but hts remedy will be no more ef fective than Mr. Dleveland’s treatment has been, end If he bolds to that line •lone he will, four years hence, ill the same place in Republican affection that Mr. Cleveland now bolds lu the Dem- coralIc heart. “Politic# make# strange bed fel on*,” and cauvcs queer divorces. Major McKinley was a medium weight Congressman until appointed in 1881) by Speaker Reed Chairman of the Com mittee of Ways and Means of the Fifty flret Congress. In that capacity he fathered the tariff bill that War* his name and that gave him prominence in politics and bids fair to beat for the Frasidentlal Domination tbe Speaker who put him conspicuously before the public.

Van deOraaff, of Alabama, haaan article In the May Forum from whleh we take the fallowing extract: “It will certainly he agreed that. If the nogroe* now with n our iNirdois-t- wero evenly distributed over tbe coun try so that In no state or region dl»|. They form more than one-eighth of lu population, we would have no raca problem In the sense In which we com monly apesk of It as existing now. It Is the presence of an undue proportion of negroes In the Southern Btate* that at once glvJif rise to the race problem and make* It a question belonging par- tlculnrly to (he south.” Mr. Yau de Graalf gives the result of,hts Investiga tions, extending over a number of years, Into the movement of negroea In the South, and the results as he pre sents them In hi* Forum article are very striking. For they show con- cluslvely that over much the ^greater portion of the Bouth the race problem does not exist In the sense in w'hich he has defined It. In the whole South the tendency Is towards a more equal dis tribution of tire blacks and the dissipa tion of black majorities. A remarka ble tendency also exists on tIn-purr of the negro to drift away from the farms into tire cities. The passing of the ne gro from the fields Into the towns is, In Mr, Yan de Graaf’s opinion, “obvious ly a fact of the greatest importance, not only in its hearing upon his status and distribution within lire South it self but also upon the question whether he is to remain in tire .South in rela tively excessive numbers and as an clement of its population not shared In an appreciable degree by the North, Once loosed from the stability of coun try life, taught to maUrtain himself in the city, and placed orr the great high ways of travel, the negro has taken the first and longest step out of the Knuth altogether. The transition from Hicb- mnftd to Philadelphia, or from Nash- vllle to Cltitiago.Tscomparativeljr easy, and it may be made by easy stages.” In brief, Mr. Yau de Graaff’s figure* suffice to show that the negro is cap*' hie of migration on a large scale, and that neither by choice nor necessity is he to remain fixed in the Bouthern Btate*. Mr. Yan do Grsaff concludes hts Forum article-* notable one It is too —will) a just tribute to the South's practically undevelojied resource* and boundless possibilities. He says: “Great as has been the Industrial ad vance made, considerable as appears tbe present Immigration movement, they out faintly foreshadow the devel opment now at hand. If so much has been done in the last thirty year* un- uer such disadvantages and practically unaided by Immig’alion, what may not expect when that rich tide wbii^^ kaacreaied the Empire Btate* of the Northwest Is turned in even greater volume Booth ward? Only the mar- vtlous growth of the great West Itself can guide the Imagination in attempt ing the forecast, and even that must be surpassed. To theBouth unquestion ably belongs the future.’?

Comptroller General Norton aays that ahottt 7.000 application* for pen sions have been made under the’ new law. There are already about 2,500 pensioners on the Hat. * Whethe?-tbe comptroller’s figures.include these is not clear in the statement from Which we get our Information. If it does in clude them, then the pensioners- will get an average of a little more than $14 w year, antf If It does notTnelude them,' they will get about $10. • This, of course, provided that all application* are granted.

The murderer had gained a fortune by getting an heir out of the way and tak ing bis place. He was tried two years after the death of bis victim. The trial proceeded as murder trlnls generally do until all the evidence was In and tbe lawyers began to ulk. Then the pris oner turned his eyes, which were ot the j 27. piercing kind <>ne read* of lu stories to "" chill the blood, upon the jurv. All the soul of the prisoner srenied then to’he In hiseyee, and 1 could not get my mind on anything but him. W hat the J udge was saying seen.ed to be a far off whis per, \ague and InUUtinct. W the other jurymen were affected aa I was I did not know, because I hardly realized that there waa any one on the Jury except myself and that the prison er was looking at me for help. I had an Indistinct idea that be was unworthy to he saved, but in spite of myself I could not bring myself to eon- thuuti him. Thau the jury was santout, the eyes of Um prisoner following until the d<«tr was between us 1 was tbe foreman, and a* soon a* we entered the loom and sat down, I sab.: Gentle men, the prisoner Is not guiltv. My statement was assented to without a disoeiitlug voice, and In five mlnuto*’ time we were In the box again, and ton inlnufga later the prisoner waa profuse ly lhauklitg bs for a verdict iu hi* fa vor. Than.be left the court room quickly, and the jury was discharged. We walked ont as if we were dazed, the most peMtllsr and uncoinfuitable feel ing 1 ever experienced, and 1 went to bed that night feeling as if 1 were smothering. Next morning 1 was all right again, and 1 made it a point to question my fellow jurymen. In each case 1 discovered an experience similar to m]ue, but we hardly dare say we had been hypnotized. That winter a trav eling hypnotist ctme to town, and that jury put U*elf in bia hands at a private seance and every man on It was what is culled a “sensitive.” That settled the business. The prisoner had hypnoti zed the jury and had received a verdict as he wanted It, but it was not to be re tracted, and the verdict stood.” W uo on 03 M 72 7W ?2 5U 58 TV TV 88 88 « UU w u» Kt 01 M t* 80 80 01 88 70 Nt Mi 3437.5 18 Min.

The time of the year Trill soon be here when many jteople are keenly interested In any measure that will lead to the cir cumvention of the pestilent mosquito. An American agrioaltural expert tiitds that a Him of kerosene oil on the water tanks near his house has rid him of mosquitos. Kerosene smeared on the face and hqnds is quite effective in keeping the insects at bay. An Indian journal vouchee for the castor oil plant as one of the best protections ngstuit mosquitos. In Egypt it is planted near house* to drive .the insects away. In towns the young plants can always be had in pots, and they can be placed about the house for a day or two. Af ter that they must be put in the fresh air, for the plant loves the sun. But with two sets of pots, one for service within doors and the other recouping, the plan can be worked perfectly. In tropical countries the ordinary belief is (hat the insects are killed by a poison that is to be found on the lower, side of the leaf: but Jf a dozen leaves are pi need about a room that swarms with the insects they will disappear without leaving any dead ones lying about.

THe Washington Star of Friday says: Since the President has been living at his country home on the Woodley Lane road Jltfe policemen have been detailed to guard the place, one from the eoun- try mounted force during the day and four from the patrol force of the town.
