counties have instructed for him.
Still Mr.. Faulkner has never said
that he was candidate. 1t Is un-
derstood, however, If the nomina-
tion is rendered him, he will not feel
at liberty to decline. In fact, we do
not well see how he could do SO, al
though to accept would be a great
personal sacrifice. But we hold that
no man, under ordinary circum-
stances, ought to refuse his services
to his people or State when called to
to assume important and trusty
positions. 1t is as much his duty to
respond to such calls as it would be
to respond to the call Of arms in de-
fence of his flag and country.
The outlook now is that Mr..
Faulkner will be rendered the nomi-
nation with singular unanimity, and
we feel sure thathe will accept.

Sheep.

A man cannot succeed in the
sheep business by following loose.
careless methods, for this animal
require, timely and proper care.
To have hearty sheep they should
not be starved at any period of
their growth. To grow wool eve
ry day, they must be comfortable.
Not only this, but sheep out OF
condition is subject to ailments
that in good condition would not
have affected him. Sheep, fat in
the fall will go through the win
ter and lambing, all right. If ia
thin, bad condition, the relaxing
Of the system in the spring and
the extra demands on the eve at
lambing time brings series of
diseases. No animal rewards its
owner so for liberal feeding and
painstaking care as does sheep.
The idea that some men have that
sheep require no care or looking
after is absurd. The ewes should
be noticed at Landing time. Some
always have milk for their lambs
to begin with, and some do not.
Sheep that are a success in raising
lambs and in shearing good fieeces,
and those that are healthy, that
impart the same to their progeny,
in short, all of them should be no
ticed. Looking after them it will
be discovered that it does nor pay
to raise feeble or deformed sheep.
1t will not pay to keep old sheep,
nor does it pay to sell the tops off
of your flocks.

I'm MennOrianl.

In Martinsburg, May 9TH, Mrs.
MAGGIE c., wife of George ID. Lam
bert, aged 80 years, 6 months and
"a days. How mysterious the Prov
idence that has called from her
happy home the affectionate wife
and devoted mother. Life which
hitherto seemed so bright to the
husband and dear little children has
been suddenly overcast with dark
and dreary clouds. But God who is
infinite in wisdom and love, "doeth
all things well and makes all things
work together for good to them that
love Him." Their loss is her eternal
gain. She has entered the beautiful
home above, her Fathers house in
Heaven, to meet and embrace again
her little lambs that tainted in the
fold here and were carried by angels
to the fold in Heaven, in the green
pastures and by the still waters of
life. And there she will wait to
welcome to that bright home on
high those that she was summoned
to leave in their earthly home; and
in that home above the mystery of
this dark Providence will be ex-
planned. The deceased was a faith
full member of the Lutheran church
of this city. In all the relations of
life, as daughter, wife, mother and
friend, she was a model worthy of
imitation. She was universally loved
for her kindness of heart and gentle
ness of manner. The immense con-
course of people who followed her
mortal remains to the tomb showed
the estimation in which she was
held. But her life's work is done;
and while the bereft ones bow their
heads in sorrow, she wears the crown
of glory. The weary body rests in
the silent grave,
"Asleep in Jesus OH for me
May such a blissful refuge be;
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high"
God of mercy and love sanctify
this sore bereavement to the good
of the husband and motherless
children.

"DIDN'T SWOOP."

In referring to the Republican
contest for delegates in Maryland,
we said the Blaine hosts swooped
down on Maryland at the primaries
like wolf on the fold and gobbled
up pretty nearly the entire delega-
tion to Chicago. The Hagerstown
Herald, a Grant paper, referring to
our remarks, says:
"Well we confess it did have that
appearance, but there seems to have
been some Shepherd at Frederick
who prevented the wolf from COB
bling up all Of the lambs.''
The Herald is right. The Grant
lambs seem to run things pretty
much their own way.

Doom Of the ATLANTA.

The loss of the training ship
Atalanta is likely to remain a
mystery of the sea, like the ftae of
the ill-starred President. 1t is
now ninety-two days since she
left port, and she has been overdue
in England since the 10th of
March. The log of sailing ves-
sci not long ago recorded a pas
sage of eighty-four days from
Bermuda to Portsmouth,, and last
year a Nova Scotia ship was eigh-
ty days between New York and
London; but such protracted voy-
ages are rare exceptions. There
are many striking condolences be-
tween the present catastrophe and
the loss OF the Eurydice. While
they were not sister ships, they
were of nearly the same size and
displacement, and were employed
as training ships. Each has been
commissioned for this service less
than two years, each had made a
practice voyage to Bermuda, and
each was returning to Portsmouth
when she went down. When the
Eurydice was wrecked there were
between 800 and 319 lives lost, and
strangely enough the officers and
crew of the ATLANTA numbered
311. The two Inflated voyages
were begun at the same time of
year, and the Atlanta was due in
the Channel on the very night
when the Eurydice two years be-
fore had been swallowed up by
the treacherous sea almost in
sight of her anchorage.--N Y.
