apiece and fully 7,000 will be tahen out
during the year.
Forty peraoii* were commlttefl to

the largest number on rooorO for .tlust

more didn’t get what they deserved ami
are still atlarffe-
Times are hard or consciences toagh
»n New York. 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. One by one hla

vorite sons of other eta lea and their
eanjldsir Is far ahead of the ftcld and

aiMMit given np as hopeless. Bo many

polities a clean and reputable wan.
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.

THE RACK PROBLF.M.
Mr. A. S. 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.’?

To what extent should the Alliance

question, and we wish that some invtr-
live genius'would devise some line , of
demarcation whleh would always de
cide the question aright. Tbe bmfe
principle* of disorder are founded oft

its plighted troth is to rectify our polit
ical avll* and Consequent
ly It must, frt an extent, enter politics,
but none will claim, that It should be*
come a political “machine,” nor do we
believe that It shonld become a political
partv. It should strive for principle*
at all times, but must not allow tbe an
tagonisms‘and prejudice* which fts
stand meywfouao to carry It Into petty
and partisan questions between men.
Alllancemen should always endeavor
to steer clear of such difficulties, and
avoid local entsmglements. Do Pot al
low the order to be dragged into races
for County officers, or even InW State
officers where no principle of tile Alli
ance can be advanced; and whenever
there arises a doubt at to the propriety
of an endorsement, de not itive It. Put

Comptroller General Norton aays
that ahottt 7.000 application* for pen

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

they will get about $10. • This, of
course, provided that all application*
are granted. As a matter of fact, it Is

SUN TIME VS. CLOCK TIME.
A year or two ago we made the state
ment in “Notes for the Curious” that
there are but four days in the year
when the sun and clock exactly corre
spond; in other words, that there are
but fpur days of the .titii in which the sun
is directly south at noon. Recently we
bought a copy of the rare old Boston
Almanac of 1774, which contains the
following:
Tbe loth of April and 17th of June, re

HE HYPNOTIZED THE JURY
The Washington Star gives this story
aa told to a reporter by a member of tbe
Jury which acquitted a murderer twelve
yeara ago: “u was an Intslllgent jury.
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.”

TO BAFFLE MOSQUITOS.
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.
