It is now thought that in his coming
message to Congress President Cleve-
land will meke no recommendations
aflecting the war in Cuba.
Congress meets next Monday. Then
the country will have something else
to talk about. Perhaps more about
what Congress does not do than what
it does, however.
President Cleveland has bought a
house in Princeton, N. J., and will live
there after March 4th. Probably real
estate in the region of his purchase will
take a spesmodic boom.
Priests at Wilmington, Del., have
fallen out over the singing of the hymn
oNearer My God to Thee� at Sunday

is of Protestant origin and forbid its

The Demand Far Exceeds The Supply
As a year d aws near to a close peo-
ple who have an idea of changing their
residence begin locking around arst for
suitable location and then for houses.
They may find the desired leca:ion but
it houses canno: be had there they are
compiled to go elsewhere. And this
reminds us that if houses cuuld be
rented in Creenville there would be
many more people to make their home
here the coming year. They know
that Greenville is a good place to live
and do business in, yet many will be
kept away through fauure to get houses.
Just at this time we cannot recall a va-
cant house in town that can be rented,
but we cau point ous some houses in
which to or three tamilies live because
there are not
around. ~There is hardly a week to go
by but what we hear of applications for

A HAPPY HOME.
A happy home is the brightest
spot op earth that the eye of Goa
looks down on. Love and peace
in his home send a sunshine
round a man wherever he goes;
but disorder and trouble bring
misery every where. ¥
There are few worries of life
which a man cannot now aud
then shake off, but who can shake
binself free from the skeleton in
the closet, from the worry 1n the
honsehold, and the blister on the
Neto in nemo Se
heart?) A day will tell how
many ®& man carried that with
~ him withous wincing, down to the
EA
grave.
When husband and wife are
helpmates to each other in the
best sense, when order and love
and goodness prevail in the
house, then the man who has a
hard battle in hfe te fight can
Jeave his etiuggles behind him
when he entersthere. With ali
oux faults, we are the most home
loving of people and that is the
«Teason why we are the greatest ol
people:
Whvoever helps home-life 18 a
national biessing, whatevor hurts
home-"ife is a national curse, avd
the greatest curse vhat can touch
these blessings is waat woulu
tamper with the peace and bless-
edness of our homes. It is in the
family life that manTs pivty gets
tested.
Let the husband be cross and
surly, giving a snap here anda

sorts everrthing gets? The wife
grows cold and unamiable toc
Both are taned on one key. They

How to Help the Cause.
The New York Times, in dis-
cussing the question, oWhat can
the government do for the far-
mers?� enumerates among others
these three things: First, the
~government, says the Times, cap
keep down thw taxes by care and
economy in appropriations and
_ by faithful administration. Seo-
ond, it can shape the taxes so
that they shall fall on the far-
mers and other consumers as
lightly as possible, and so that
they shall not enable special in-
terests to charge high prices.
Third, it
can devise and authorize

out ihe Upion.� : .
- Then, in arguing for the neces-
sity for a change in carrenev sys-
tem, the Times says:
system) costly and high when it
is mvet needed in agricultural re-
gions, and is gathered atT the
money centres to stimulate spec-
ulation wnen it is not so needed.
There is a lack ot small, well-
managed aud safe local banks
which can furnish both currency
and credit iu the farming dis -
tricts with a knowledge of condi-
tions that would make their oper-
ations secure.T
We endorse thesa words as be-
ing eminently true and to the
point. We also endorse the de-
claration of the Times thai the
~measures set forth above as being
in the power of the government
to take should be taken for the
benefit of the farmers, as well as
for that of the general public
The carryizg out of such a policy
would mean a condition of pros-
perity and contentment in this
country such as it has not knowa
since the war.
But, alas! it is idle to hope for
all these blessings from a Repub-
lican adwiinistration. oEconomy�
is a word unknown in the Repub-
lican yocabuary; ofaithfal admin~
istration� would be a violation ot
all Republican precedents, ard
the chief spokesmen of McKinley
haye already served notice upou
the people that protection is to be
the shibboteth of the depublican
party. The most that can be
reasonably expected 18 that the
new administration will recognize
that the demand of the masses
for a change in the currency sys"
teru"a change that will giye tiie
relief the Times suggests"is one
that the parity wil! ignore at its
peril._-Richmond D.spatch.

EXPENSES OF PALENIS.
Exclusive Rights for Inventions

The Patent Office Is a Money Making In-
stitution for the Government"Much
Time Required to Study
Up Cases.
The government has recently granted
voor
two patents, which cover probably the |
most intricdte and complex machine |
ever constructed. It is claimed that be- |
fore the first machine was perfected |
the company constructing it had ex: |
pended $1,300,000. The first applica- |
tion filed contained 204 sheets of draw- |
ings, having over 1,000 separate views.
During the eight years the case was |
pending in the office before allowance |
the number of sheets was reduced to |
163. When it is remembered that the |
majority of patents have but 4 single |
sheet of drawings, and that to require |
as many as ten sheets is quite un excep- |
tion, the magnitude of the invention.T
ean be understood. The fees charged |
by the patent office are uniform for all |
cases, no matter. how complex cr how.
simple"$15 for filing the case and $20
additional on allowance of the patent. |
When this case was filed it was turned |
over for examination to an exominer, |
who received a salary of $1,800, and he |
spent six weeks in studying the case |
before being able to make the first ac- |
tion. The entire specification was twice |
rewritten, each time by a different at- |
torney. How much this cost the inven- |
tor is not known, but it is rumored)
that the attorney who first prepared the |
case received a fee of $10,000 and an |
allowance of $2.000 extra to pay for |
thedrawings. While the case was pend- |
ing the examiner who first had it in:
charge resigned from the office, and it.
was turned over to another assistant
of the same rank. This assistant went
over the entire ground three times,
consuming several weee\s, and finally
he was authorized to go to Chicago
and spend a month in examining a
working machine. Whev the request
was first made of the commissioner
that the examiner be permitted to make
the trip it was promptly refused. For
argument the chief of the division then
carried in the papers, making a pile
some two feet tiick of unfolded draw-
ings and typewritten specification, and
the commissioner said: oHe can go.�

DIVORCE IN TURKEY.
The Only Formality 1s the Return of the |
BrideTs Dowry.
Divorce in Turkey is obtained with a_
facility which would surprise even our |
transatlantic cousins. As_ easily as,
Abraham cast forth Hagar, the bond- |
woman, and her child, so also can the |
Turk open the door of his harem and
send out intoTthe world the woman who
no longer pleases him. He has but to
give her back her dower and personal |
effects. In the upper classes, however, |
certain legal formalities are gone |
through, and indeed, as the lady is
usually protected by her parents, di-
vorce is, comparatively speaking, rare.
There are instances, however, in Con-
stantinople of ladies in the highest of-
ficial circles who are not yet very far
advanced iii years, who have been di-
voreed ty icc, thrice, and even ten times.
Amon t's: !...er orders divoree may be
deseribed os « faree. Many girls who
are not vel years of age have been
divorced 0: remarried a dozen times.
The sur, vos of divorees are among
the most amusing features of Turkish
social life. A very great personage,
second only to the sultan in rank, un-
less, indeed, it be the Sheik U1 Islam,
married some few years ago, when his
position was very inferior to what. it is
at present, a highly educated lady, of
good connection and fortune, but, ac-
cording to his excellencyTs version of
the story, of ungovernable temper.
Within the year they were divorced and
remarried. The lady: ~soon found
her new husband disagreeable, and
was once more divorced. It must be
remembered that if a Turk can divorce
his wife, she can only divorce him at
his pleasure by making herself as un-
pleasant to him as possible. In former
times he tied her up ima sack and had
her dropped into the Bosphorus,. To-
day he divorcesher,
