EXCURSION rates of 1 per cent pei
mile to the New Orleans cotton exposi
tion have been agreed upon by 1G (
railrnads. This will make the rates
about as follows : Council Bluffs , $11
St. Louis , $7 ; Winnipeg , $17 ; St. Paul
$13 ; Detroit , $11 , Chicago , $9 ; Gin
cinnati , $8 ; Louisville , $7. There arc
proportionately low rates from points
adjacent to New Orleans. Directoi
General Burke estimates that the
receipts of the exposition from New
Orleans and the ten adjoining states
will more than repay the loan made by
Congress.
THE corruption existing in the Repub
lie of Mexico has again started the
turbulent spirits of that country on the
road to another revolution. The move
ment seems to have been one in which
the prominent men throughout the
country were engaged in fostering , am
it has been urged by them that no
government would be preferable to the
one that they have had. Annexatioi
to the United States is wished for fy
many , but whether this country coul (
stand an addition to her population oi
malcontents is something that will be
thoroughly considered before a fina
conclusion is reached. We have s
pretty good supply of the ungovernable

go out of our way to acquire any more
M. PASTJJUE , the eminent Frencl
chemist , has discovered a sure cure
and preventive for hydrophobia. His
method of treatment is to obtain a
small quantity of the specific poison
of rabies and inoculate a monkey with
it ; from this monkey he extracts the
poison again and inoculates another
monkey ; the monkeying process is
finished when he has extracted the
*
poison from monkey No. 3 and inocu
lated a rabbit from which another ex
traction is made and another rabbit
inoculated ; then the performance
ends with the inoculation of the third
rabbit and the extraction from it for
the cure for 'hydrophobia. M. Pas
teur has tried his remedy on several
Frenchmen with success. Aside from
the weight which the reputation of
Pasteur , which is world-wide , gives to
the discovery , we feel the utmost
confidence in the remedy. If Pasteur
has prevented only one Frenchman
from acquiring hydrophobia , that
settles it. His remedy can cure man
or beast.
"Wuia : you ever away from home
for a good while and then come back
suddenly and unannounced ? If not ,
you have lost much. It is a pleasant
experience. It is worth a great deal
to see the kindling eyes , mark the
rising smile and grasp the outstretch-
3d hand. It is a cheap but precious
pleasure to be welcomed back with
m earnest ring in voices pitched in
i deeper key , and to be called "old
fellow" by men with whom you have
< ept up a mere nodding acquaintance.
It is a real delight to be asked where
, -ou have been and what you have
seen and feel that it ib not a mere
bnn , that theie is a , live and actual
eeling of interest in your well-being ,
.t btirs up the best emotions of a man's
ioul to feel that he has been missed
ind everybody is glad to see him
> ack again. It drowns his selfishness ,
irouses his regard for his fellowsstim-
ilates his confidence in himself and
n the world , spurs him to more and
letter work , unseals the milk of
luman kindness and makes him
tronger and better in every way
mless perchance it makes a fool of
lim. And then he is a harmless kind
if fool , whose worst fault is a vanity
ike that of a school girl. Topic * .

OSCAR CLARK committed suicide at
St. Paul the other day in the presence of
his wife and children from despondency.
He was a hardworking and industrious
young man , hut ambitious. So he saved
up his money carefully , cducatea him
self for a physician and attempted to get
into practice. In this he failed utterly ,
got into debt and had to go back tn
manual labor. Finally he was out of
work , hunger pinched his family and he
took the coward's way out of his trou
bles. Had he been content to remain : i
successful and prosperous laborer he
would have lived a Jong , useful and
happy life. There should be a revolu
tion of sentiment in social matters.
Youth should not be taught to despise
the lowly walks of life. In them mostly
lies that security so essential to content
ment which after all , is the greatest
blessing.
IF congress repeals the timber culture
law and the pre-emption act it will do
something that has not been called for
very strongly , something that is not es
sential and will not be of any great
good to anyone. The fact that a pool-
man can go out into the west and get
480 acres of government land under the
three rights now given him is not a bad
thing , not in the sense that the control
of large tracts of land by corporation is
bad ; for in that case the lands get into
the hands of the people , the actual set
tlers , the poor men , the laboring pee
ple. To restrict the rich and not the
poor , in the matter of securing land ,
ought to be the aim of our law makers.
The wealthy never go out west to take
up homesteads , tree claims and pre
emptions ; that is the work of the poor
folks ; and it is they who build up the
country and turn the desert into a gar
den of beauty. Congress has no busi
ness to legislate against that class by
the repeal of the presant excellent land
laws. Gazette Journal.
THE Philadelphia Kccord gives Amer
ican bankers some timely and wholesome
advice. They should says the Record ,
co-operate with the merchants , manu-
\tcturers , carrying companies , and other
corporate or individual investors and
other operators who arc pushing forward
micticablc enterprises , and with the far-
iiers and mechanics who * give cmploy-
nent to great numbers of laborers , in
cceping the wheels of legitimate indus-
ry steadily rolling on. In taking care
3t the labor of the country the banks
ire taking care of themselves. All
iheir profits grow out of labor. It
requires no particular actttencss of reas
oning to follow the sweat on the brow
jf the honest workingman until it is
.ransmitted into the dividend that finds
ts way into the banker's pocket. The
