Yours truly, I The Standard Sewing Machine Co.. I D. E. Cor.K. Secretary. Mr. Lucy, who has represented j the Standard during the seven years that this admirable machine has been nianufactured. was justly proud of ' the irreat distinction awarded it. The Standard machine has hail a re markable history from its beginning, and the laurels it has won at this the highest tribunal of art and mechan ics, is the triumph of excellent con struction and inventive genius. The Standard is a rotary-shuttle machine the only one on the market. The principle of its movement through out is rotary a continuous move ment in all its parts which almost precludes friction and wear, and makes it light and noiseless. These 'are the points of superiority recog nized at the great Exposition and on th - 111 'as -ht'u tlu' i'uiscme awards t over ail competitors. It was a proud day for the Stand ard.

Arp Says Executions Should lie Carried Out Privately. The Legislature is in session. Most of the members are politicians, of course, and will keep an eye on their own personal advantage, but we trust they will keep the other on the public welfare. Tote fair gentlemen, tote fair with vis. "We want no fool ing around. Do your work and do it quickly and go home. The people are already burdened with taxation. The plain truth is there are thousands who can't pay their taxes, and the newspapers will be full of sheriff sales. Have mere' upon the people. You will have more applications for all sorts of appropriations, but I wouldn't grant a single one outside of maintaining the government on the most economical basis. Wait until we ret-over from the present distress. Some things are needed very bad right now, but wo can't af ford them. One thing we ought to have above aliothers, if we could afford it. and that is a reformatory prison with workshops and other attachments for criminals under sixteen years of age. What are we to do with the boys who are going to destruction? A few years ago Mrs. Lou Cordon visited Ehnira. X. Y., to see the re formatory there and she wrote a very interesting and instructive let ter about it. Two thousand boys under sixteen working like heroes in the shops at different trades, and every few months a number dis charged as reformed and good places found for them among the farmers or the mechanics. Boys of that ten der .age can be reformed, but not when serving a sentence in the chain gang with hardened criminals. We had that system in our old penitentiary. I .. remember well a i man who stole some monev when on- p. sixU.rll yt.ars old. He was sent to the penitentiary for four years aiut learned a trade, four years oi work painting wagons made him a ; good artisan, and he stuck 'to it and Kept a good name ana was respected. When the war came on he was among j not- for tK,ro stoo(1 t!lL. ilia!1 witj! a the first to volunteer. He joined a j in llis illouth selling a book Rome company and fell with his face! and showing no sign of fear or re to the foe at 'the first battle of Man-1 p.-ntanco but rather a desire to assas. He used to tell me how kind j p!ay t1l0 hero to the last. What tiie principal keeper of the peniten- j kini (lf a wa,.uig is that which tiary was to him and how he got new j t,.:ms w;tll (lt,ltll as t;4p ideas of life, and its duties from that M ;i,.iM.,it KmrliOmmn said to , , go. i n i and resolved to come out from there reformed. That good man was Dr. Alexander, the father of my friend. Dr. Jim. That is the way to do it. The boys want kind words. They want a friend. Most of these young criminals have had a hard life with no friends to encour age them perhaps an intemperate father and a miserable mother and poverty in the place called home. What c an we do to stop the prog ress of crime in our State? It is in creasing in ratio every year increas ing much faster than population j increasing among a rising genera : tion. The chief causes seem to be : idleness and the lack of parental re Istraint. "Idleness is the parent of I vice," so said Ben Franklin, and he i knew, for he liked to have turned lout a vagabond. Work was all that i saved him. The most striking dif ference between tho parents of the present day and those of fifty years j ago is in the way they control their j children. In the olden times child ren teared their parents, but now 41... 4 f ..... 41... , .1.11,1...... "11-1. don't you stop that boy of yours j from smoking cigarettes?" "Because I can't. I have talked to him and so has his mother, but it don't do any good." Yes. talked to him. Fifty years ago a father would have taken that boy behind the smokehouse and talk ed to him with a rod about three feet long. There was no fooling around with the boys. Obedience to parents was a cardinal principle in the household. I remember a boy who got a good threshing for speak ing disrespectfully to his mother. He answered her back, that was all, but his father heard it and then his back answered for the disrespect. The poor mother cried and when the father had gone she rubbed the marks with liniment, and that was all. If Solomon didn't know, who did? He must have had several hundred boys to look after, and I reckon he had an acre or two of switches. If a school teacher whips a boy nowadays he is threatened with prosecution and a big fuss is made over it in the newspapers, and the boy comes out a martyr and a hero. When Dr. Jim and I were bovs we were afraid to let our fa lhm knw that we ,,ot a whippinjr ! ,lt ,.,.1,.,, n.,., .I.-.,. t; tvi!.-,,,, , away from John Norton to keep from a whipping. Old Dr. Wilson, the preacher, found it out that night and next morning marched Jim up to the schoolhouse and he took his medicine like ,a little man. But I know some preachers' sons who need medicine, but they don't get it any where. The teachers and the fathers are afraid of the boys. We had a first-class Southern out rage in our town the other day, and I am surprised that it hasent got in the Northern papers. A negro boy of sixteen was lynched right here in John Anderson's livery stable. John Anderson is one of our best citizens, but he actually connived at this lynching. The boy is a street vaga bond and was caught stealing the lunch out of a buggy that was left in the stable. He had eaten up one from another buggy and had begun on the second when discovered. He was tied in a stall and his mother sent for. She weighs about 2t!l pounds, and when she came and learned of the trouble, she exclaim ed, '"Par now, told you so, tank de good Lord, I dun got you dis time. I bin tryin' to git hold of you for six munts and you git away frutn me ebery time. But I got you now, tank de Lord." She asked for a whip or cowhide or something, but was given a light buggy trace. She stripped him in a posterior fashion and bent him over a cross bar, and those licks and those yells were aw ful to hear and awfuller to behold. She lynched him while John Ander son ami other humane gentlemen looked on and approved. That dark ey will never steal another lunch from that stable nor any other stable. But there is one law I do hope the Legislature will pass. Let these public hangings be aU'lished. We had one here, last week and several thousand piJpplo gathered there to feast upon the scene. Xow, 1 don't raise my hand in holy horror about men going to see a man hung but one time ought to satisfy any man. and no time for women and children. It should not be witnessed as a farce or a frolic, but rather as- a funeral. There wore, perhaps, a thousand white women around the gallows, and some few wlio.e only appropri ate place was at home. It is encour aging a morbid and debasing curios ity and women with tender hearts and rciinodjeelings have no business at such places. It will profit us to imitate the older government, such as England and Oermanv. whose ex- editions have been private for half a ; century. Some thoughtful persons j vy that puonc executions aiv a Warnin' to the vicious, but this was me that siiTt-e he had been in the South he had noted one striking dif ference bet ween, our criminal pro cedure and theirs.

And so when a murderer is brought to trial, ho gets speedy justice. He is convicted and sentenced and disappears. When our count rj- grows to that then, perhaps, these lynchings will stop lynchings for ail crimes save one. Bill Aki This Heats Preaching. A-.ioI.eri. Ci.iiriiT. If all the churches in the land were to turn out members who refuse to pay their debts there would be fewer members, but the world would have confidence in those who wore left in Zion. Then membership in the church would be a badge of distinc tion worth more than gold and ru bies. It is a good sign to see the re ligious press agitating the subject. It is a theme for the pulpit and for the prayer meeting. Dishonest men should have their place with scandal mongers and blasphemers and should wear a collar or badge of a criminal. A healthy sentiment is growing against dishonesty. One of the chief causes of dishonesty is extravagance and an attempt to lly high, when your wings are too short.

(. 1S'.)3. Business during the last week has improved but slightly. The victory for the repeal bill has removed the chief obstacle to the return of confi dence and the revival of business. There is no longer any uncertainty about the security of currency con ditions, and public and private cred it has boon greatly strengthened. But the immediate response of busi ness has been of a negative charac ter. The progress of the trade dis turbance has boon arrested and the process ot recovery has begun. That it has not been more rapid has been a disappointment to the oversan guiue; but it could not proceed fast er and be healthful. Commercial and industrial interests have been severely strained by the prolonged disturbance of credit and confidence. The losses that have boon entailed by several months of increasing de pression cannot be instantly repair ed. The business structure has boon severely strained, and the work of strengthening the weak places and upbuilding the fallen portions cannot be instantaneously completed. It is encouraging to know that the storm has passed, and that tho work of re pair may now be pushed ahead with vigor and confidence. The apparently contradictory course of the stock exchange mar kets since the passage of the repeal bill .scarcely needs explanation. Spec ulators always discount events, and the rise in values last week antici pated the effects of legislation; as this week's realizations and declines have paved the way for a more sub stantial recovery in values when the full effect of restored confidence and stable financial conditions shall have been felt in the business world. Monetary conditions are favorable. It is significant that the last of the emergency issues of the New York Clearing House wore cancelled at the same time that the law which had necessitated their employment ceased to bo operative. Business men are now able to se cure all needed accommodation at bank; and the effect of this change in the situation has been already ev idenced in the more prompt settle ment of obligations, the partial re sumption of industries, and a moder ate enlargement of the distribution of manufac tured goods. Gold im rts have begun; and rising trade balances and renewed European con fidence in American investments in dicate that the return flow of the yellow metal will continue. At New York alone the gain in merchandise exports last month was over $.'!.( hio, 000. and the decline in imports over SPUmio.OOO changes which suggest at least :50.0oO, 000 excess of exports for October, and which would make the balance for four months of the fiscal year about 75.000.000. The failures during the last week through out the United States and Canada aggregated 3(1, a decrease of 11 from the total of the preceding week. Cotton prices have recovered i of a cent of the recent decline, owing to the improved outlook for demand and greater speculative confidence in the market. Receipts have con tinued to exceed those of last season, but have boon smaller than they were last week. Northern spinners' takings are increasing; but so far this season have boon only 2l,(ii!4 bales weekly, as against 3(!,72S bales last 3-ear, and 5!), 725 bales in 1S01. ExjKjrts of cotton continue liberal, and ''for two months of this season have boon 4.'.725 bales in excess of the shipments for the corresponding period last year. Demand for cotton goods is gradually improving, but is still very conservative, and is gauged closely by actual jobbing w..ts. Tho price of wheat has declined 2 to 21 cents per bushel, as a result of heavy stocks and an indifferent for eign demand. Although receipts are still running thirty per cent, below those of last season, the movement to commercial centres exceeds the outgo; and there will be little en couragement for bullish speculation so long as there shall be large week ly additions to the already excessive stocks. Exports, although liberal, continue to fall below the shipments for the corresponding period last year; and new demand is compara tively light. Values of corn have advanced I to of a cent per bushel, owing to a bullish sentiment in the markets, which has been strength ened by a falling off in the interior movement and fairly liberal exports. Values of provisions have been gener ally well maintained, owing to mod erate stocks and comparatively light packing operations in the West, where hog packing has largely decreased. The KxpIoHlon of it Kumb startles all within hearing. So the pains which arise, from doranjo'inonts of the liver, stomach and bowels, quickly alarm those who experience them.
