There is oot a 1 monarc h or a President In Europe but has M« winter ami •ummer capital. The lat ter Is often no more than a summer real deuce, but It I* so organized that all bud nesa of State can be as easily transacted there as at tlie recognized capital. The summer capital also ha* the inex pnssible advantage of being surrounded by a high wall, with sentinels at tlie gate charged to *hoot all unauthorized intruder* at Sight if f hey lb# not depart quickly after failing to give tlie countersign. This is so effective barrier against office seeker* and bore* that when the head of the nation retires to hi* summer capital their last shadow of hope has d* parted. flow would it work to erect a summer capital for the |'ie«idcut of the foiled Mates, with all the Kuro|ean fixings? He could utilize this retreat at any time and take id* cabinet with him when office seekers swarmed too heavily. Washing ton i« no fit place for the President iu summer, tilve him a properly appointed summer capital, and thus do him a most needed civil service rectory Inspection At a public convention of the factory Inspector* of the l ‘idled Mates just held at Trenton, N. J., the following Impor tant suggestions were* discussed ami adopted 1. Mo children under 11 years of age shall work in workshops, hut ail such children shall be sent to school. 2. Each State shall have truant school*. 3. Factory lalmr hours shall not exceed sixty a week. 4. Workrooms shall not lie overcrowded 5. Hchoolhoiise* shall la* built on hy gienic principle*, and la* not more than two stories high. 6. Tenements, halls, theater*, hotels, factories ami sanitary a p|>oiiit incuts, ma chinery and elevator* shall tie guarded, and fire-escapes erected where necessary. Mo fault whatsoever can be found with the almvc dale of legislative suggestions. They are iu the direct line of huiuantarian reform. They aim at the best good of so ciety and the protection, healthfulness and comfort of the working classes. In states w here present statutes have not al ready made the end Mimed at by these sev eral topics, unnecessary, organizations of latwiring men and political parlies should work for their recognition and adoption. There is no atom of revolution or sociali-on to lie found in any on* of them but the broadest gm>d and highest interest* of mankind. Sorghum and the Sugar Situation. The sugar consumers of the country ar*1 nil on one ride and the sugar trust on tin other. The consumers want lower prices, of course, and equally, of course, tin* trusi wants higher, for It must make profitscov etiug a large iiinouul »f watered capital At this time the sugar consumers an w itching ihe experiment* of making sor ghum -ug er ton of cane are givei as 3 bushels of seed, III pound* of suga and 17 gallons of molasses. There an also other expense*. as coo|M*rage, etc. Interest charges, depreciation of and weai and tear of plant, hut doubling the item of ex|»ense above given, and making al other reasonable allowances, I»r. Colliei is firm in his belief that w itti economy am1 fair valuation of the seed and niolasse* the sugar will Im* produced at or very neat one cent a pound. riotlda Election law A great conflict is now going on ovei the uew election law In Florida. This law appear* to Im* in the Interest of ballot box Huffing, intimidation, disfanchlftctnctir, trickery and fraud. In a recent applica tion of this law, one of the first since its adoption, which occurred at the municipal election at Daytona, Volusia county, July 24, a record of the votes throwu out, arnountlug to a large majority were per emptorily refused by the election inspec tors and the evidence destroyed ia the face of urgent protests of the rep resentative* of the parties deliberately counted out. The facts iu tin cum*, duly certified, are stated in full in tlie Halifax (Fla/ Journal of August I That staunch Kcpublican exponent af firms that If the general election for the State iu 1890, is conducted under the uew law these results will follow 1. Return* will he made to suit political emergencies 2, ballot box stuffing cannot he pre vented or punished; .3. the election of officers will be s mere farce; 4, every blind man will be disfranchised; o, every man who cannot read or write will be tricked out of Ids vote; 6, the people will be prevented by It from exervis lug any supervision over the processes of voting or couuting of ballots, and challenging of Illegal votes i* render ed almost Impossible. Tlie Journal says. “With the results of the late local election before us Is It uot the duty of every good cltlaen, regardless of political affiliation or party, to unite iu a determined effort to preserve the right of a free and fair ballot, an honest couuting and recording the tame, by carrying the coutest belweeu the people on one side ami political conspira tors on the other to the highest tribunals fta the land and demanding that protection which is needed to preserve the most sa cred rights of freemen from being stolen or tnunpkd upou." The following appeal has beeu publish ed by leading Republicans of the county, la clew of the outrages against a fair bal and open count at the Daytona Munh cfhel election: *Wt We operation of the ■ew eletblin law reqeirtac eeparale ballot educational teat, ■BliiihMttalfiaauihiH progress of she Mate of Florida than any possible imported or natural epidemic. aad that apoo examination before corope teat Mate aad Federal court* it will he declared unconstitutional, null and void, 1 the citizen* of Daytona, totally defraud* ed through it >f their right# without j regard to race or party, ##k the a#*i*tauee of every citizen of Volusia County. aad the Mate especially, who Is hi favor of preservation of the rights of free Amerf- «ao citizen* to a free billot and an honest court, iu carrying their case up to the State aad Federal court* for *ucb adjudi- 1 catioo a* will pro ect not only their right* but those of the people at large." Favorite Move** of Movol Writers We are becoming «»tnrwh*t tired of literary symposium*. especially those re lating to persona-: likes or dislike*, in dividual peculiarities, and private view* upon special subjects. 'There was a unique and captivating freshness to this class of article* when Dr. Edward Ever ett Hale op-nod the “llow 1 was Edu cated" serle* in tlie Forum three years ago; snd this was well *ustained by the 4cri»*« which followed, “Books that have Ih.peti Me," in the same review and opened by the same brilliant aud helpful hand. But this manner of treatment for art article soon ran off in many and diverse ways, and at last became stale. In various forms it still keeps coming up. The hundred best books, the favorite poet, and numerous other subjects have been treated iu this way until It has got down to questions of not much greater importance than the best shaving soap, and has now little attraction for substan tial, thinking readers. The latest contribution of thi* nature to magazine literature is found in Belford'* Magazine for August, in which l^ew Wal lace and twenty live others tell the public what their favorite novels are. 'The con tribution has not the slightest significance or value as a guide to readers, aud has lit tle in it of personal interest as often the answers comprise but a few lines, or even a few words. Of what importance is it for the general reader to know that one man or woman likes Adam Bede, The Vicar of Wakefield or the Waverley novels; hundreds of intelligent, well informed people have the -nine fondness for a favor- j ite author and their verdict as to that au thor's charm for them would have the same weight with the reading public. Aside from thi* point, however, there are a few thing* that strike one as worth uiuk ing a note of a* lx*traylng personal char acter or Idiocynenteie* of the writer. For instance Ella Wheeler Wilcox say* she “knows, but doe* not wish to tell which does her injustice liecause it leave* the general reader to infer, and that inference might do her a wrong. Edgar Salta* writes: “The work* of prose fiction which I like the best are the Old and New Testament,” which shows the rank given to thi* Book of Book* by the effete author i of a “Transaction in Hearts.’* It i is also noticeable how the old favorite* still maintain their hold upon readers of culture and refined ta*te. Ed f ward Everett Hale like* the Arabian j Night* and Robinson Crusoe; T. B. Al drich like* Thackeray, Hawthorne and ii Walter Scott, and oh, *o many like tin i» dear old Waveley novels,despite Mr.How f ell*. George Eliot, Charlotte Bronte. Dickens, Charles Reade, Victor Hugo, Howells, the elder I Mimas, Mr*. Oliphanl and Mr*. Stowe are all favorites. But il i seems in general that novel writer* are abe forced to follow.” ‘r We are not a little surprised to find New v York car builders aud journalists so much i Ix'hind the times and so poorly informed ir ti|x>n this matter. Practical experience a. well a* all expert knowledge in regard t« car building materials, their strength, dur r ability and elasticity, has loug ago estab Iished the fact that all-steel cars are lin practicable, will never come into use, and r if so built would soon be discarded. All the requisites required in a railroad cat are lx»st obtained by a combination ol wood, iron and steel used in its construe r Cion. These materials seem best v a la pled to meet the ends desired. It is x well known by car builder* that iron gear when subject to sever# strains wrenches the whole structure, and when once out of shape in consequence 11 of these strains the structure remains *c v i or grows worse by use. The tendency in 4 j all iron or steel construction is to work the bolts, which cannot, on account ol the nature of the materials, be 1 made so firm, steel to steel, as steel or _ iron to wood. ’There is*a constant ten r dency In iron and steel to crystallize and become brittle. That the clamping of wood and iron together diminishes this tendency to crystallize, is the experience of all builders. Moreover, an ail teel car would soon pouud Itself v to piece#, the constant strain forcing off bolts, nuts and rivets. It* construction would be rigid and un _1 yielding. The elasticity of wood as a material to be used in connection with iron or steel obviates this. It may j be true that if cars were built entirely of R irou their “destruction by fire would be j rendered impossible;” but in any railway accident liable to occur, the chances are that more lives would be lost in a steel car than in one built as now iu use. Pas senger* confined in wreckage eould be liberated more readily w here parts of the car were of wood then where all w as of I iron or steel. It is safe to say that no r company of car builders will ever build a railway car entirely of steel, as all ex ample*, experiments and tests thus far made, show that a car of combined wood. iron and steel, is more durable, safer, rides easier and will last longer w ithout re]Ktir* i than ail steel cars. The Home Market for Farmer*. The report of Consul General Way, Mr. Cleveland’s appointee at St. Petersburg, contains a note of warning of equal inter est to American farmers and speculators. He says that “with the cheap labor of Russia” and its 450,001) square miles of arable land in Europe it will always prove a formidable rival iu the wheat marts of the world. “Every corner in grain engineered iu the United States," he say* “make* an opportunity for Russia." The rlce of farm product* and land* can be Iln trated by a comparison between ar-jr nanufactoring State ami one that de|**«d* ilmo-t wholly on agriculture. South Carolina, for instance, has a rich allarta! oil ami U an old settle*! State.

Our country is notorious for wastefulness One of tbe most evident and inexcusable of these wastes is so common that one cannot avoid seeing examples of it on looking out ,t over the fields almost everywhere through a csr window. The timber is cut off a f piece of land with the intention, |t perhaps, of seeding the ground with |t grata for pasture until the stumps p rot. But the brush remains, and is ,j soon overgrown with briars and weeds, e while cattle find nothing eatable but the sprouts front the tree stumps, which they soon effectively suppress, leaving a hideous waste—a disgust to the owner ami a blot on the landscape. If a wire or two had been stretched around the “chopping." there would soon have been a thick, Imndsome II piece of woods again, annually iucreasing in value and feeding the soil. A late writer. e commenting on the deplorable destruction p of all undergrowth and young timber on so y called timber land, by giving cattle the run *if it and exposing the surface to wind and «un, so that little or no water of rains is ab sorbed. puts in a plea for the boys (the best 1 of all the crops of tbe farm), who find inter st and enjoyment in having, now and then, some sport in hunting small game in well preserved woodland full of underbrush shel ter.

Tbs Northwestern Wheat Crop I “The wheat crop in Minnesota and the Da kotas will reach 85.000,000 bushels, and I think will go to 90,000,000.** was the cheer ing announcement of Colonel G D Hedgers, the Editor of the New York Market Record yesterday morning. “It will he the best crop harvested in six years,” said Manager A- B. Robinson, of the Northwestern Elevator Company. The samples of wheat shown by the various elevator lines from houses widely apart show an almost uniform excellence. The kernel ia bright and plump, in striking contrast to that of last year which had a dull appear ance, with a shrunken kernel, in some cases almost without filling. Only about half a •ioxen cars of new wheat have been received in Minneapolis thu* far. am! it is sold st an advance of about 8 cents over offerings to arrive. 88 cents being tbe top figure.

There are several points about the press which to tell the truth we did not expect would come up to vour representations but after one month's trial we can heartily say they are fully met vi I on some exceeded. It certainly exceeds our expectations. One particular we will mention. You said the press ran as easily as an ol l style Gordon press, a statement which at the time we could not exactly believe, a9 it is ail undisputed fact that the old Gorton press r on th 'easiest of any in the market. But the Half Medium Colt's Armory machine which you put in new for us certainly ran easier the first Jay than the Gordon which it displaced and we regarded that as a xerv easy running press, for a Half Medium Cross.

A portion of oar city about which but lit tle is known ostfsvte of it* own domain* ia that occupied by the French inhabitants. This people minute* hot iiule with their K*i| lish or American neighbor* and a* a c n*e qomce there bare arisen many mistaken ideas once: ning the French element of oar citizenship »b cb in justice to them should be corrected. Ot a recent trip which the Journal reporter mails through the French distrtcia of our city careful note of many of the circumstances and condition* in which they wr»- found were taken and the whole is a collection of facts which present the troth ,f Hie matter and go to prose that this people are sober, induitrioo* and intelligent as s general rule. The French population of Augusta at pres ent embraces 218 families which with an ad dition of l‘*2 unmarried men ami women make a total of 1300. By far the largest per cent, of the number is occupied in some way in various parts of the city. The ini- mense nulls of the Ed wards manufacturing company alone furnish employment for 400 j while others are working at the mills of the Augusta Lumber f'o.. Bangs Bros.. Wyman, j Webber A (*age, and still others are at work j for the city and other private and public j works of a lesser magnitude. The law gov. j ••ruing the employment of children is en j forced to a ms. ked degree and as conse quence the younger members of the fami lies are allowed longer periods of time in which to perfect and mature their bodies for j the hard work which is to be their portion in j after life. But the entire class of working people among the French take kindly to j work. Investigations show them Pi be sober 1 and industrious to a marked degree ami am ious la engage in work which promises them a decent compensation for tin ir labor. As a result many of them have become skilled j workmen in their various avocations and are weekly earning snug little sums of money, j contrary to the general opinion they are not, spendthrifts. It would he safe to say that in comparison with laborers of other nation- j alities they are far more saving. With hut f. w exceptions there is not a man, woman or j child among tne working class of the French who liss not a hank account of some amount to Ins red it. With many the sums deposit- cd are quite considerable One man, wifei ami child earning about $22 a week in all saved w ithin one year the neat little sum of j $'.ino outside of living expenses. This may he the i xception but there are many w ho have creditable amounts deposited in the bank and nearly all have something. {Especially cred itable i- the fact, showing the general thrift of the French people, that not a single per son of this class has become a town charge. They have not a single representative in the aims house. Twelve out of the entire Bum her have erected houses for their own resi den *e* the average value being about $2500, but by far the larger number are residents of tem m nt. house* and blocks erected by the companies by whom they are employed. The need* ot this rapidly increasing and advanc ing imputation have called in artisans of the various trade# They have a French drug store, boot and shoe store, and dry good# store, three French barber shop# and one Freuc loctor, while three of their number own larL;e and profitable wood yards. The improved social condition is In ,p great measure to increased educa imil and religious advantages. The erection of a tasty school house in the heart of the French district ami the employment of |»a i nt and competent teachers ha* proven of inestima ble value. I luring the last term 125 French s(waking pimple were under instruct! n within its wall*. They appreciated their a vantage and improved them. It p-ubab.e that the i umber applying for adm ion up on the opening of the present t« rm wil' tie nearly double that of last year and that i consequent demand for better and larger otnnio Uions will he forthcoming The establishment of the St. Augustin Freni h Catholic church in the city ha# -tiiI further improved the social standing of the people. With the erection of a bands ms church edifice d the employment of Rev. Father I'lante Ins come a marked advancement l ather Plante is a prominent educator, a thorough republican and perfect g. i.ticman and ha* done much to eievate ai d improve trie co d tion of his fellow countrymen. Through his i fforta 8(H) of this people have become o n mun>aiits al St tugu-'ine'* church. The futur* of thi* class of the c t dr.|> which annually contributes it* of, thousands of dollars toward the u r of the business of the city is a m p '**nt one. Wnh the completion of the mills now in prow of n cion will coil.*- a large increase in the population. I* or its accom modation large tenement house# are now in process of construction and when the in crease comes the same cause# which have so eh vated and improved those already in the city will extend their influence until our French population becomes an honored and useful part of the local body politic.

I know 1 was a selfish obi idiot, now, when I lool around me and see the merries given ae in my be, pi*** old age. feel the warm love ound ran on nil sides, and realize the deso lation my own hand reached forth to grasp; t> jt I wa» blind to future u» those days when i to nearly wrecked all it* happiness. This was bow it happened. After Martha iierl my wife, I mean, with whom forty happy years of my life were *i**nt—and all my children were dead or married, excepting Ruth, there fell upon me the heavy misfor tune that ha* chained me to thin chair or my bad for fifteen weary year*. I bad l**-n a bard working man ail my life—a wheelwright by trade—with a large family to rear, to clothe, to feel, to educate, and, ah me! one by one to bury in the old churchyard, till only Ma. y, James and Ruth, our baby, were left to me. Mary married and went with her bud/aud to the far west. James took bu small fortune 01 a few bard earned dol lars and left u* for Che gokleu land of prom ise, California, and only little Ruth wa* left us. Then the angel of death came for Martha, and only six mouths later I was stricken helphsw with paralysis. I am reconciled now to my hard fate, and can sit hur*- happily, glad that my eyesight is still good, my right hand free and that 1 have learned in my old age to love books, to enjoy reading and even writing, I never did in the hard working days of iny youth. Cut in tin*!* first month* of helplessness, when even to Los* and turn in my nervous torture wa* denied me, my sufferings were simply horri ble. No agony of pain nor torture of flesh or bone could equal the dreadful pressure upon my strong limbs that held them motion lists, dead, in spite of my effort* to move them one little inch. I have fainted with the frightful efforts I have made just to lift once tb*’ feet tliat had carried mu mi lea iu a day with Unwearied ease. But even iu that tune of rebellious ruur inuring, of bitterest repining, there was some consolation First, there was the hou.su and flvu acres of land, my very own, free of debt or mortgage, and a small «uui in thu bank, the interest of which lifted us above actual want Then 1 had Ruth. Hbe was just 'JO when her mother died *nd others Isoldes bur father thought her faefc the fairest one for miles around. She had thu bluest eyes, like thu little patches of summer tky. and hair that wa* thu color of corn oilk, and nest let 1 in little baby cut is all over her head—rot«eUiou» huir that would not lie straight under any coaxing, but kinked up in tangle* that were full of sunlight Her skin was white as milk, with cheeks like the heart of a blush rose, mid her smile showed the prettiest rows of pearly t«*uth I ever saw. She coaxed me from my wicked ivpinings by coining to me for directions, making me feel that my head was still needed to direct work, though my fuet would nevermore carry me over thu Joorsill. Then she fitted up for mu a largo back room tout over looked most of thu farm, and hail Silas, our bead man, lift me up every morning and put ino in a deep cushioned -hair by the window, where 1 could see the barn, tho poultry yard, the well and the fields of waving corn and wheat Shu made me fuel myself of Import ance by giving mu thus the master eye over my own little domain; and she brought up her own meal* to cat with me in the room where my infirmity held me a prisoner You must understand what Ruth was to nie or you will never understand the simple story I have set myself to telling you. She taught me to use my right hand without the left; and if you want to appreciate the dif ficulty, tie your left arm down for one single hour and try flow often it will unconsciously strain at the cords. She brought me books from the village library and opened to my old eyes and brain a field of pleasure never before explored. I had read my Bible «nd the newspaper alt my life; but I never even knew thu names of books, now my greatest treasures, till Ruth thought '‘reading would be company" for me. Little Ruth, even she dues not know tho world she peopled for uie in her loving care for my loneliness. When »h«* was busy about boi housework, her l*iking, her washing and ironing, she left oil the door* standing open that 1 might still hear her liuery voice as »he sang or talked to me. Then, wiie*. ill her work was done, she would put a clean white apron over her black dress and sit clow Iwsido uie. stitching busily on tbe household linan. utile I read aloud whatever had most pleased me in my morn ing studies She ointed out to her the unceasing round of wifely duty that would keep her from my side, ami proved to her that the duties of child and wife must clash, if under taken under such ’ircumstonces a* were pro posed. The loving, tender heart yielded to me, and John wa* tearfully dismissed. Through the warm autumn months, when the coni ripened and was fathered—when our crops were blessed and '.he little (tank fund was increased by the price of the farm produce—Ruth grow very quiet and subdued. Hhe win not sad, having always a cheery word and pleasant •mile for me; but the pretty rose tint left her round cheek.*, ami f no longei heard her •inging at her work. When I real the best pages in my books to her, I wot Id see ber •ye* fixed dreamily on some far away thought, her work lying Idle, till she woke with start at my fretful questions. For I grew fretful ami trying in .hose days. I warded her to give up woman’s dearest hopes and sweetest affection*, and be the same aunsniny Ruth she was before my hand tore •way hei love dreams. I wanted her to put away all the loving, tender tie* of wifehood and motherhood, ami pass her life In devotion at the armchair of a pm ah zed old man. And when -she con.plied, with gentle, touching sub mission, then I wanted her to lie the bright, happy girl who had resigned nothing, and who could nurse sweet, girlish fancies, with John for a hero. An unreasonable old tyrant, wasn't If The winter came in early that year, and before Christmas everything was frozen up tight, and the cold was intense. We piled up coal in the stoves, listed doors and windows— that is, Ruth did the work, a.id I enjoyed the result; but there came one cold day—one Friday—w ben it seemed no coals, no listing, could conquer the cold. Children froze on their way to school that day. and were found, stiff and stark, leaning against the fence*. Food froze on t be tables. Ask any one in Ma ne if they remember that black Friday, and tern if some mothers’ eyes will not fill as they think of the little" scarlet hooded figure* brought to their doors, wuite an« rigid, that ha>i lifted rosy, round rlieeks for kiss only A few short hours before. This cold Friday Ruth hurried through her work in the morning, making my room the warmest place in the bouse, covering my armchair with soft woolen* and moving it near the stove.

Among the witnesses of the conflict were children of Mrs Gorta, who began cry ing at the loss of their |iet, and they implored some one to "briug I sick their doggy” to them.

An Astonished Ten round Trout. A queer trout stroy comes from Kineo, Me. A party of fishermen were angling from a rowboat, and one of their number was feel ing for a trout, when, in the clear water, a big ten p*-under was observed to start, opened mouthed, after the smaller fish. Thu little fellow forsook the Ixdt and swam rapidly roun*l ami round the l*oat, hotly pur sued by the big flsh. When two or three circles bad been made, and both flsh were nearing the top of the water, a man in the stem of the boat suddenly put hi* dip net in and neatly scooped the ten pounder out. It was a queer way of fishing, and that was piobably tin* most surprised trout in Moose head lake.—Lewiston Journal.
