NOTWITHSTANDING tie fine crops
that during the past year blessed the
West as whole with abundance and
returning prosperity, certain parts of
it, especially along the frontier, are at
present sadly pinched. Early last
week Gov. st. John, of Kansas, tele-
graphed Jay Gould that great destitu-
tion prevailed among the farmers of
the frontier counties of that State.
especially those of Sheridan, Grove
and Wallace counties, owing to fail
ure of crt ps through drought last year.
Gould telegraphed remittance of
S5, 90, for which a couple of car loads
of -four and meal as well as large
supply of bacon were promptly for
warded as an immediate installment.
The present distress is by no means a
novel experience, however, as it has
frequently happened that that State
has had to save recent settlers from
starvation in frontier places, owing to
shortage or entire failure of crops
Experience seems to demonstrate that
the immigrant to the Far West, with a
family dependent upon him, should
have capital enough not only to build
some sort of home and plant the first
seasons crops, but also to bridge ovel
the second should the crops of the first
prove failures. In thinly settled
country little help can be expected
from distant neighbors all equally
pinched, while work whose wage:
might eke out short harvest, is hare
to find and poorly paid.

THE deep interest excited in Wash
ington by the mission of NJ. de Lesseps
to the Isthmus and his resolute initia-
tion of his gigantic project is proper
enough, for the enterprise is one to
which the American government and
people cannot be Indifferent But we
see no occasion for a great display of
undignifed buster. The intimations
of the possibility of an early war to
resist French pretensions, however
warmly or unanimously approved in
Washington, strike US as inconsiderate,
not to say bumptious. A war with
France in relation to the Istmus
would necessarily be a naval war, and
our navy consists of a wretched set of
dilapidated, useless hulks. Nothing
is so feeble and foolish as for a govern
ment to GO into Mysteries and put forth
threats which it is no condition to ex-
ecute. We can of course, create an
efficient navy; but that requires a
little time, and until we have one the
less idle bravado the better. Besides,
it is ridiculous to think that we need
to threaten France with war as a
means of frustrating the Lesseps en-
terprise NJ de Lesseps cannot go far
without capital, which is yet to be
subscribed, and capitalists have too
keen sense of their interests to hagard
their money in this undertaking with
out an American guarantee. With
out a pledge of protection from the
United States there would be no Sc
curity for their property beyond the
period required for the completion OF
! the canal

ONE week from next Sunday
will be the twenty-second of February.
One hundred and ty-eight years ago
ON the 22nd day of February, 1872
George Washington was born. He is
properly styled The Father Of HIS
Country 1t is truly said of him that
he was First in ,cdr, First IN Peace,
and First IN the hearts Of has country
men. OF uninspired men, history has
produced no more sublime character.
Ever since the death of Gen. Wash
ington it has been customary to cele-
brate the anniversary of his birth
This is usually done by suppers, balls,
and other festivities in the evening of
that day. There is particular reason
why the day should be generally and
universally observed this year. For
the first time in the history of the
country a man has made his appear
ance on the stage of public affairs so
craving, so greedy, so Unsuitable in his
ambition, that all the military honors
enjoyed by Washington, with even
higher military rank, and two full
terms of the Presidency-the same as
held by Washington-do not appease
his hunger for place, but seem only
to have whetted his appetite for office
and power. He is row a candidate for
third term, being the first man ever
in the White House who has presumed
audaciously and contemptuously to
turn his back upon the grand example
set by the Father of His Country.
There is nothing more lofty in human
conduct than the setting of the seal OF
condemnation, by George Washington,
upon the doctrine OF permanency in
Office. Let all who properly appreciate
this great act, all who would do honor
to the name of Washington, all who
would preserve our free institutions in
their pristine purity and simplicity
protected by the early traditions which
surround them, unite in celebrating by
appropriate festivities the approaching
Twenty-second Day of February
Above the names of all Kings, of al
Emperors, stands the simple, plain
untitled name of George Washington
Above their distinction rises his fame
He is more illustrious than they They
have been for themselves; he wa
always for his country and mankind

WASHING TONS BIBLE.
SOME VERY INTERESTING STATEMENTS
CONCERNING 1T AND THE CHURCH.
rCnresnondence Washincton Posi-

Correspondence Washington Post
Old Christ church, Alexandria, is in
possession of the family Bible of Gen.
Washington His name is written
therein by himself: George Washing
ton, Mount Vernon, 1894" On the
same hy-leaf appears, Presented to
| the Vestrv of Christ Church, Fairfax
parish, bv George Washington Parke
Gusts, April 6, 1901" And then fol-
lows, in Mr. Curtis handwriting, THE
Family Bible of George Washington,
used at Mount Vernon Application
was made to tie vestry, on behalf of
the Mount Vernon association, to pur-
chase this Bible. to be kept at Mount
Vernon 2he church being in debt, and
this valuable and interesting relic not
being very safe in the church building,
the vestry were disposed to listen to
the proposition. This led to some dis
cussion in the Alexandria Gazette. In
communication in that paper of Dec.
80, over the rector's signature, he
SAYS I'm their financial needs, caused
by the repair of the building, which
even now is suffering through the lack
of funds, the proposition to buy the Bi-
BILE for the Mount Vernon Association
was presented to the vestry by request.
Necessity, and no desire to remove an
ancient landmark, caused the favorable
consideration of the proposition" The
facts are, that during the past five
years the small, and by no means
wealthy congregation of the church,
has expended in necessary improve
ments and repairs sum amounting to
nearly $4,000, all of which has
been paid. excepting the present debt
of about 81, 000 After such heavy
expenditure, the payment of this debt
bears heavily upon the congregation,
and they are very anxious it should
be discharged, and speedily. The
church has been already taxed to the
extent of their ability. The current
revenues are barely sufficient for cur
rent expenses. Christ church is consid-
erably over a century old; it is the
church in which Washington and his
family worshiped-in which as ves-
tryman he. occasionally read the service
to the congregation, and in which his
pew still remains Of the same size and
form az when occupied by him. 1t is
unlike any other church in the State or
country, and is, to speak, the property
of the whole country, and should be
sustained by all as a link more nearly
binding the past and present than any
other building in the country, and it
should be kept in repair and good pre-
servation. The above facts present an
appeal for aid in paying off the debt of
the church which we think irresistible,
and we trust will be literally re-
sponded to. As regards the Bible of
Washington, we believe the vestry are
willing to loan and deposit it at Mount
Vernon, in charge of the Ladies' asso-
citation, where it will be safe and acces-
sible to ALL Contributions may be sent
to the rector, the Rev. Henry Suter
or to the treasurer, Mr.. Jackson Ent-
wisle, Alexandria, Va.

Col. Quay has purchased the bat
tie flag carried by the first regiment,
Pennsylvania Militia, mustered into
the Continental army for service dur
ing the revolution, and proposes add
ding it to the collection of battle flags
in the Capitol at Harrisburg 1t is
thus described 1t is of silk that
evidently once possessed an orange
hue, but has faded into yellow
brown. 1t is five feet long and about
the same in width. In the center is a
piece of red silk two feet square, on
which is painted and worked the figure
of a soldier standing with poised
spear above a crouching lion. Be-
meath this is the inscription, "Domani
Volo." Ct will not be subdued) On
the back of the flag is pasted copy
of the Boston Christian Register,
dated March End, 1888 On this is
written, by the father of W. 5. Robin
son, the following: This is my
fathers Revolutionary flag, who was
Colonel of the First Pennsylvania
Regiment, under General Wayne He
served in the war seven years and
four months; was wounded in the
arm, leg, and had part of his heel shot
| off {; had three horses shot from under
him" The flag is very dilapidated
and the greatest care is necessary in
handling it to prevent it from falling

How TO CATCH Crows, SKUNKs
AND FoxEs.-Here is bit of evolu-
ton study Our friend, Mr. A. w.
Hubbard. of Magog, p. O., is in q
muddle. We do not wonder at his
souls perplexity. Mr.. Hubbard set
his traps for foxes. He found them
full of skunks Urged on by the mar
ket quotations of skunk pelts he ac-
cepted the situation, removed the un-
savory prey, and set the traps for
more. Then came new surprise.
Set for foxes, the traps caught skunks;
now set for skunks they caught only
crows. The baffled trapper could not
eat crow; So, accepting the belief that
the traps were bewitched, he set them
for the birds, and-of course caught
foxes

A STORY is told of five children liv-
ing in Colorado who give promise of
making energetic as. well as accom-
plished members of society. There
were five of them in one family, their
ages varying from six to fifteen years.
They wanted an organ, and promised
to earn the money for one if their
father would buy it The bargain
was made, and thrty-six chickens and
an acre of land given them as capital.
The ground was planted with onions,
and yielded the remarkable crop OF
three tons, for which Sl45 was re-
ceived The net receipts from the
chickens was S55, making the total re-
ceipts 5000 The organ cost Sll8,
leaving balance of S82 still in the
children's treasury Parents can not
educate their children better than to
devise similar plans for teaching them
industry and the value of money.
