The Stale Senate of Mississippi has passed a bill making Jefferson Davis'
birthday a legal holiday in that State. We have nothing to say against
Davis' llemary Honored. theStateof Mississippi showing all good and
reasonable honor to the memory of Jefferson
Davis ; but we think the country has holidays enough already. There is a
feeling with many people that we have too many. Postoffices, banks and
many institutions of convenience to the public are sometimes closed on
special holidays greatly to the inconvenience and annoyance to the public.

Florida Strawberries. 8trawberrJ bed- The PaPera are telIin aboot
large shipments of strawberries from Florida, but
the strawberry farmers are not realizing any very great profits on the crop
this season, owing to the heayy expenses in ehippinij. It costs 14 cents a
quart to express strawberries from Florida to New York, and the berries
bring only 30 cents per quart on the market there. So the profits are not

The Manufacturers' Becord gives the following news concerning the mi
gration of negroes : "Figures of the last census showed that the negro
population in certain border States of the South
had not increased during the preceding decade
at anything like the rate of the increase of the negro race in the country.
These States, such as Maryland and Kentucky, lose their negroes in two
directions, one toward the North and West, where the negro finds occupa
tion in household service or in rough industries, and the other toward the
South and Southwest, where Ue is needed in lumbering, in railroad con
struction and in agriculture. A phase of this migration is observable at
present in parts of Kentucky, the result of the high prices of cottun during
tli pftt year."

wasting thought and breath to make the observation that whenever there
should come difference and discord between the two members of the firm
the busitittss would suffer gret!y. Its progress and growth would be
checked and its usefulness greatly checked or ruined Such is the relation
between labor and capital in this country. They sustain such intimate
and dependent relations that whenever there is a clash of any kind between
them the progress of the country suffers. Labor cannot find employment
except through capital, and capital cannot be used except through labor ;
and so it is the height of folly yea, it is suicidal for labor and capital to
be at variance. . They should be in Harmony to insure their greatest bene

Ok an appeal that went up to the Supreme Court from the town of
Washington the question as to whether or not a town ordinance can com
pel a saloon keeper to take out the partitions in
his saloon, has been settled in the affirmative. ,
It is held by the Supreme Court that a town council may pass and enforce
an ordinance forbidding any screens, frosted windows, partitions or any ob
structions in a saloon. Thus it is shown that the saloon keeper may be
compelled to make his place of business clear and open so that it may be
seen just what is going on in his saloon. The use of frosted windows,
screens and partitions is not so much for the benefit of the saloon keeper
as for the patrons of his business. To be sure, everybody knows that he Is
in the business.but the frosted windows, screens and partitions serve to keep
the public from seeing who is in the saloon. Many a man drinks at the
saloon counter behind frosted windows or screens who would not if the
whole interior of thu saloon were exposed to public view, and this the sa
loon keeper knows, and that's why he has screens and frosted windows.
The Supreme Court, Judge Montgomery rendering the opinion, made the
following strong point against the liquor business :
"Liquor being regarded as an evil in itself and an enemy of 'civilization,
the courts, in passing upon the validity of laws regulating or restricting its
sale, will not be guided by the rule applicable to restrictions upon a busi
ness which Is useful or beneficial to mankind."

The lynching of a negro in Springfield, Ohio, something more than a
week ago has directed attention to the attitude which the Northern people
hold towards the negro race. The Bichmond
The Negro North and Time8.Di9patch weii says that while the Southern
South. people deal with the negroes as individuals, the
Northern people deal with them as a race. This is especially true as it re
lates to conduct if a negro is bad he is treated accordingly and if he is
good he is treated well. The Times-Dispatch makes the following clear
cut observation editorially :
"But the Northern people hold the entire negro race responsible lor the
misconduct of the individuals, and whenever an individual negro in a
Northern community commits an outrage, it is almost invariably the case
that the whites, as a mass, rise up and punish the entire tribe of negro res
idents This was the case in Springfield, Ohio. A negro killed a police
man and he was taken out and lynched. But this did not satisfy the mob
of whites. They proceeded against the negroes in general, set fire to the
negro settlement, and probably befoie they are done will driye all the ne
groes out of the community.
-It is a terrible situation for the blacks. They are not wanted at the
North, and wherever they gather together in any considerable n"m.
Northern communities, the wrath of the white population is soon kindled
Snst them, and their lives are made wretched. The Southern people

highest perfection. ;
It is never too early to bglu to do
his. Those of us who hap trained
ohildreu mentally and inorily know
that the work is started whe the ba
bies are in the cradle. The habits of
obedience may not be pre-atal, but
they should be formed so ton after
birth as to become like natre to the
child.
Perhaps it may seem absrd to de
mand as much of the child'&ody ; but
we do not know what we tight baye
made of It if we had given it more in
telligent attention. Even as it is the
mother soon learns that thejhild must
not lie in unnatural posture, that the
eyes must be cared for, that the back
must be kept straight and Dt exerted
too soon, that the limbs mut be rub
bed and flexed if they do no develop as
they should. The child must not be
allowed to sit up alone, to sand or to
walk too early, lest there becurvatures
or malformations.
All this is done while the baby Is a

take active exercise though, indeed
Nature generally leads tketn to do
this but the parents are too few who
direct the exercise their children take
and see for themselves that the young

The boys go with other boys and eo
leam to play baseball and loot Dan, o
swim, to row, to ride a wheel. The
girls meet other girls and roll hoopsf
skip ropes, and learn to ride a bicycle
And the father and mother feel that
they have done the whole duty of pa
rents when they provide the means for
these out door enjoyments. It seldom
occurs to them to make sure that they
have secured just what the children
physical natures demand much less
to see that the help to exercise is used
in a way to enable the child to get
from it what he or she needs.

Mr. J. W. Pritchard, Wolf Lake, Ind.,
writes:
" I am pleased to say that I have been
cured of catarrh of the stomach by Pe

half through my meal my stomach
would fill with gas causing me much
distress and unpleasant feelings for an
hour or two after each meal. But,
thanks to your Peruna, I am now com
pletely cured, and can eat anything I
want to without any of the distressing
symptoms. I can now enjoy my meals
as I used to do, and it is all due to Dr.

Peruna.

I am cured." J. W. Pritchard.
Dyspepsia is a very common phase of
summer catarrh. A remedy that will

anywhere. Peruna cures catarrh wher
ever located. That it is a prompt and

and like most fads, it was abused.
There was never a good thing yet that
was not susceptible of misuse, and the
bicycle is a "shining example of the
act. A few years ago eyeryone rode a
wheel. Every child wanted one and
the American parent, who Is indul
gent, if he does not always act with the
intelligence that he puts into his busi
ness matters, provided his children
with what they wanted. Having done
that, he felt that his responsibility
bad ceased. He had given the chil
dren what' they asked for, and that
ended the matter for him.
But not for the children. Being
children, they promptly proceeded to
go ahead and do as they pleased, with
the one object in view of having a
good time. They may have had a few
lessons in riding, bat it is quite as
likely as not that it was not from an
instructor, but from a playmate. Some
children, of the "born rider" variety,
bad no trouble, but rode at once, and
rode well. Others had a bad seat and a
bad attitude from the first. Quite
probably their wheels had not been se-
rocieorproperiy ana were nut adapted
to their height or to their length of
limb. If their wheels did not run easi
ly and in those days the bicycle was
a rather different proposition from
what it is today they took it as a mat
ter of course and proceeded to strain
themselves instead of developing their
muscles. They evolved for themselves
what they thought the best way to
ride, and there appeared a horde of
"monkey backs." Or they became en
thusiasts in riding and went on long
runs, setting themselves to make or
break a record among their compan
ions. The while the parents told com
placently of the exploits of their chil
dren and never seemed to think that
there might be harm doing. In point
of fact men and women were not un"
frequently led into excess In this exbil
erating exercise and as a natural se
quence there came a reaction and the
bicycle for a time was neglected.
Despite the passing of the fad, bow
ever, there has been FromJ the outset a
goodly number of people who believed
in the bicycle and thought it had oth
er uses than a mere means of getting
about the country and riding to and
from work. Their faith has been jus

PROPER TREATMf NT OF PNEU
MONIA. Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have proper
remedies at band. A physician should
always be called. It should be borne
io mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an at
tack of the grip, and that by giving
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may
be warded "off. This remedy is also
used by physicians in the tseatment of
pneumonia with the best results. Dr.
