To fiji 5000 cans will require y! tons Of
good tomatoes.
Thus we find that the 5000 cans have
cost, exclusive Of the fruit and 2l-100
cents per can, or about Is cents per dozen.
We have yet made no account of the wear
and tear of the factory or remuneration
for the owner. The above calculation
supposes the fruit grown under favorable
circumstances and demands that each ton
produce 400 cans without any allowance
for loss. Every dollar paid on the ton of
such fruit adds of a cent cost to the can
or three cents to the dozen cans. Hence,
Sc per ton makes an itemized cost per
dozen of 90 cents.

Town ELECTIoN.-The town election
Monday was tame affair, from the fact
that there was really no division on an
issue. No tickets were printed until late
in the morning-the identical one that
served the past year, thus endorsing their
administration as whole. Another ticket
shortly afterwards appeared headed Ina
provement Ticket" that substituted only
three or four names. Inquirers could not
fnl any substantial ground of difference,
Only that it makes things q little more
lively to have two or more tickets, and
the old ticket was elected. The vote polled
was three times as many as if there had
been only one ticket, but a little over a
third of a full vote. The following was
the result:

The Era of Elective Govern.

1t j. not necessary, for the purpose
OF tbs paper, to enter into any COM
par. between hereditary and
elee oyernment. Manifest it is
that The era OF elective government
has come. In the communities of
the new world, the latest develop
ment of humanity, the hereditary
principle has failed to take root; the
monarchy of Brazil being merely an
European dynasty in exile, the life
of which hangs ly a thread. In
the Old World dynasticism is plain
ly in a state of decadance, the forms
surviving longest, as might have
been expected, where the substance
had been most completely abolished
The era of elective government has
come and in the wise ordering of it,
so as to give public reason the upper
hand, and to reduce as far as posi-
BILE, the influence of passion, class
interest, selfish ambition, faction and
corruption, lies the political hope of
the world. If hereditary monarchy
and aristocracy are dead or doomed,
dead also is the light Of hope of the
Revolution that all the evils of gov
ernmcnt would be swept away and
the reign OF reason at once opened,
if only monarchy could be over
thrown. The divinity of the peo-
pie has proved almost as unlike real
ity as the divinity Of kings. 1t is
time that the form of government
should, if possible, be settled, and
the political revolution brought to
close; the prolongation of the sirug-
gle, with all the appeals to passion
and other sinister motives which it
involves, is seriously affecting char
acter and collecting difficulties round
the government Of the future, while
a deeper and more momentous re-
yolution, in the religious and social
sphere, threatens the stability of
civilization, and demands with in
creasing urgency the attention of the
world.

Henry w. Longfellow.

The 9th day Of February was
the anniversary of the birth of Hen
ry ". Longfellow. In this connec-
ton the Chicago Herald of that date
gives the following sketch of his
life:
Henry Wadsworth Longtellow
was born at Portland, Me, on the
twenty day of February,
1907. His father was an attorney
at-law In 1921 he entered Bow
doin College and graduated therein
four years later. He then read law
in his fathers oflice-a pursuit
which, happily, he did not continue
friends who knew his genius, by ac-
quaintance with his college life, pro-
viding him the opportunity Of ain
occupation more congenial. They
offered him the position of professor
of Modern Languages at Bowdoin,
one entirely proper 30 his bent. To
qualify himself the better for his
duties, Mr.. Longfellow spent the
three years and half Immediately
succeeding his acceptance of the Of
fer in Europe, visiting France, Spain
Italy, Germany, Holland and Eng
land for this purpose. He came
home in 1929 and began his pro-
fessorship at Bowdoin, which con
tinaed until 1885, when the death
of Mr.. George Ticknor, who held the
corresponding position in Harvard
| University, resulted in his accept
ance OF the vacant professorship in
that eminent seat Of learning. Be-
fore actually entering upon his du-
ties, he again went to Europe, this
time visiting the Scandinavian coun-
tries, Germany and Switzerland,
mainly with view of promoting
his acquaintance with the Literature
of Northern Europe. In the au-
tumn of 1886 he began to teach at
Harvard, and continued there eight
cen years, when'he was succeeded
in his position by James Russell
Lowell.
Mr.. l.ongfellow's career as an au-
thor dates from his undergraduate
days, during which be contributed
poetry to the columns OF The Unit d
States Literary Gazette. While at
Bowdoin scmc able pieces of literary
criticism, tic products OF his fertile
pen. were printed in the North 1ntef-
ictu Rerier. His first volume oi
poems saw the light i'll 1888, since
which, at no infrequent intervals a
new volume has appeared, always
welcomed with pleasure by large
constituency OF adnliring. loving
readers. There is no occasion what
ever to detail the numerous produc-
tons Of his pen. Perhaps "Evange-
line and Miles. StndisIl' are the

Use Short Words.

The great art in the use Of words
is to use only those that will clearly
present our iisas 70 tic nm NJ
other people. The best words for
this end are short words, because all
persons know what they mean and
they are easily kept in mind. The
late Horatio Seymour says;
The English of our Bible is good.
Now and then some long words are
found, and they always hurt the
verses in which you find them.
Take that which says, 80 ye gem
Grafton of vipers, who hath warned
you to flee from the wrath to come?n
There is one long word which
ought not to be in it, namely, "gen-
eration." In the old version the
old word brood" is used. Read the
verse again with this term, and you
feel its full force. 20 We viper's
brood, who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to Gomez"
Crime sometimes does not look
like crime, when it is set before us
in the many folds of a long word.
When man steals and we call it
"defalcation," we are at loss to
know if it is blunder or crime.
If he does not tell the truth, and
we are told that it is case of "pre-
varication," it takes us some time to
know just what we should think Of
it.
No man will ever cheat himself
into wrong-doing, nor will he be at
a loss to judge of others, if he thinks
and speaks of acts in clear, crisp
terms.
1t is good rule, if one is at loss
to know if an act is right or wrong,
to write it down in short straight
out English.

best known of his long pieces. In
the writer's opinion, his most effect
i've work is seen in some of his Tyr
les, which are perfect in their con-
struction and pervaded with sweet
ness, pensive tenderness and human
ity. They are carried in the memo
ry OF thousands on both sides of the
Atlantic, and are gems which per-
manently enrich the literature of
nations. Hyperion" a romance, is
not so well known rs Mr.. Longfel-
lows poetry. His translation of
Dante, published in 1868, cannot be
said to have superseded that of Cary.
As was before suggested, Mr.. Long
fellows poetry is not characterized
by strength or greatness, but by gen.
tleness, sweetness and refinement,
the product of vast labor, but free
from peiantry and aflectation. He
bas given eloquent and simple voice
to the convictions and emotions of
good, every day kind of people.
Since 1885, Mr.. Longfcllow has
made two trips to Europe, one in
1912, and the second in 1868 and
1869. On the last occasion he was
made doctor Of laws by the uni
versity of Cambridge England, and
a doctor of civil law by that of Ok
ford, in the same country. In 1873
he was elected member of the Rus
sian Academy of Science, and in
1877 of the Spanish Academy. His
works have been translated into the
continental languages of Europe.
Mr.. Longfellow is an American
whose illustrious fame dignites his
native land, and whose productions
adorn and invariably benefit human

EEof SpHingS--A New Health
Resort.

Among the many remarkable and
interesting works of nature which
the exploration and settlement OF
the New West is bringing into gen
eral notice, none is more wonderful
than what are known as the Las We
gas Hot Springs, in New Mexico.
These springs make their appear
ancc six miles northwest of Las We
gas, on the line of the Atchinson,
Topeka IL Santa Fe railroad. AT
present they are reached by a stage
line of six miles from Las Vegas.
but as early us April first branch
of the above named road will be
completed from the springs. A sec
ond commodious hotel is now in
course OF construction, and is also to
be opened at the same date for the
reception of invalids and touris is
This new hotel will be one OF the
finest in the west, and has been
named the Montezuma house.
These thermal springs are located
on the southwestern slope of the
Spanish range of the Rocky Noun
tains at an elevation of $500 feet.
Their curative properties are similar
to those of the Arkansas Hot Springs,
and have stood the test of expert
ence and science. They possess,
however, one very decided advant-
age over the Arkansas Springs, in
that they do not have the sultry
aalarial climate of Arkansas, but
have instead u mild temperature at
all seasons, with a pure inyigorating
atmosphere. A bath-house has
been erected, complete in all its APP
pointments, and with capacity OF
five hundred baths daily. The toll

Washington, 16.-Murray's mes
sage to the territorial legislature of
Utah has been received at the in
terror department. On the political
situation, he lays down PROPOSE
ton that, in no sense is there a
sovereignty of church over state or
union, with constitution and laws
that political power is welded by
the church authority throughout
Utah; that officers Of the church
exercise authority in temporal
affairs; that the sovereignty of the
church is supreme, and its practices
are followed, the laws and courts of
the United States to the contrary.
