linger with us.
Of the republican and democratic
candidates for president since the
organization of the republican party
in 1856, Buchanan, Douglas, Brecken-

are dead, Douglas died early in
the war: Buchanan lived to see the
war ended and died in 1868; Brecken-
ridge died soon after the failure of
the confederacy; Lincoln was muir
dered in 1865, just after he had en-
tered upon his second presidential
term; Greedy died in 1872, before
the electoral college had recorded
his overwhelming defeat, and Gar
field shared Lincoln's fate when four
months in office. OF the living can
didates Fremont, who made the
brilliant contest against Buchanan
in the first republican battle, lives in
New York; Mcclellan, who unsucess-

The Cars Estate.
London Times.

LOnuOH Illues.
One may form some idea of the ex-
tent of the possession belonging to the
Russian emperor, as property imme-
diately attached to the crown, when
we hear that the Altai estates alone
cover an area Of 100000 desiatins,
or over 17O,OOO,O0O square miles,
being about three times the size of
England and Wales. The Merit
chinsk estates In eastern Siberia, are
estimated at about $4,000, 900 desia-
tins. In the Altai estates are situa
ted the gold and silver mines of
Barnaul, Paulov, Simijoy, and Lokt-
jepp, the copper foundry at Sasoum,
and the great iron works at GaVri
Low, in the Salagirov district The
receipts from these enormous estates
are in ridiculously pitiful ratio to
their extent. In the year 1882 they
amounted to $4,000 roubles, or a
little more than eos, 900; while for
1888 the revenue was estimated at
less than half this sum or about 40O,-
600 roubles. The rents, &c. gave
surplus over expense of administra-
ton Of about ,5OO,OOOroubles. On
the other hand the working of the
mines showed deficit Of over a
million; hence the result just indica-
ted. A practical explanation of
this very unsatisfactory state of
things is to be found in the situation
of the mines, which are generally in
places quite destitute of wood, while
he smelling works were naturally
situated i'll districts where wood
abounds, sometimes as much as 600
or 700 kilometres from the mines.
The cost of transport of raw mate
rails became considerable in this way
By degrees all the wood available in
the neighborhood of the smelling
works became used up, and it was
necessary to bring wood from dis
tances of oven over a hundred kllo-
metres. Formerly the mines were
really penal settlements, worked by
convicts, who were partly helped by
immigrants whose sons were exemp-
ted from military service on the con-
dition of working in the mines. But
since the abolition of serfdom this
system has been quite altered, and
there is now a great deal of free la
Dor on the ordinary conditions.

THE SUN
NEW WORK 1894

About sixty million copies of THE sun have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umnS of all The SUN printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom, sound
doctrine, and sane wit long enough to reach
from Printing House square to the top of
Mount COpernicuS in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-quar-
ters of the way back to the moon again.
But The SUN is written for the inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of THE SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it.
and if his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE SUN is, and will continue to be, q news
paper which tells the truth without fear of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
is working with all its heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be-
lieves that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know THE SUN, you like it already,
and you will read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
interesting year in its history If you do not
know THE sun, it is high time to get into the
sunshine.

comnete successfully with the world in the

compete successfully with the world in the
struggle for national supremacy.
It IS clear to any one that the inhabitants
of the British Isles cannot be supported from
the products of the soil alone. In every
part of these two isles, the soil is we'll culti-
waited. For several hundred years, all the
cultivated land has been manured every
year at great cost. The result is that what
was once poor is now rich. This process OF
manuring is still kept up. Nothing that
will add to the fertility Of the soil is per-
mitted to 90 to waste. A manure heap is
regarded as indispensable to every well
conducted farm, and making manure part
and a great part, of the work of every we'll
to-do farmer. Making manure is not con-
fined, as it is with us Southern people, to the
winter months, but every month in the
year is regarded by the farmers of Great
Britain as the proper time to make manure.
Our soil-rather our rclimate-is not adapt
ed to the heavy manuring which is prac-
ticed successfully in Great Britain. In some
sections, the British farmers use large guam
titles of lime. In Ireland, energetic farmers
scatter lime over their potato fields so thick
that the ground is completely covered.
Lime is always scattered by an Irish farm
er on his potato fields, which he designs
sowing in oats the coming year. This is
done at great cost and labor. The lime has
frequently to be hauled for long distance,
which adds to its cost very much.
The American people, especially the
Southern people, could not be induced to
spend as much time manuring their fields,
as the inhabitants of Great Britain spend.
Land is scarce in Great Britain and plenty
in America The motto of the Southern
people is, wear out one piece of land and
then 60 to a new country. The motto OF
the inhabitants of the British Isles is, enrich
the land for yourself and descendants.

A SOLITARY GULCH.

In one of the gulches Of the gold mining
district of the Divide, perhaps twenty
five miles from Denver, stand the remains
of a cabin, if few blackened and charred
timbers and pile of stones, evidently at
one time chimney, can be called remains.
To the miners and prospectors who pass the
rough trail to-day the place has lonely and
mournful look and many speculations are
indulged in as to the history and fate of it's
former occupants.
From 1858 until 1864 this wild and al
most uninhabitable country was filled with
busy population who had left comfortable
homes and loving friends in the East in the
wild pursuit of gold in these rich diggings.
In the latter year, however, the number
dwindled from several thousand to perhaps
less than a score of white men, newer eX-
citements having carried the restless tide in
other directions. Among the few who re-
mained were two brothers who had left
their home in a pleasant town in Illinois to
make their fortunes in these marvelously
rich placers. These were Thomas and Will
liam Coleman, who, though so closely relat-
ed, were as utterly different in disposition
and manner as could be we'll imagined.
Thomas, who was of dark and sWarthy
complexion, was always morose and disa-
greeable, and generally disliked by his
neighbors William, however, with his
bright blue eyes and sunny hair, was ever
a favorite with all. But little'Was known
of their previous history save that the elder
was unmarried, but that William had left
a young wife and one child in the East 1t
was known also, that this marriage was
considerable source of contention between
the two, and it was generally understood
tbot ba hro4 borc bo6 haop forpoarlu riyo1c
for the hand of the girl whom William af-
terWard married. One day, in the summer
of 1864, the stage which was still running
in that section, brought as a passenger
beautiful woman to the cabin who proved
to be the wife of William Coleman. The
meeting Of the couple was joyous to a de-
gree, she explaining that parents and child,
having both died, she had resolved to join
her husband and individually share his
fortunes and hardships. Upon her arrival
Thomas went out Of the house and wander
ed long distance over ridges and through
gulches not returning until long after dark.
Just exactly what happened after he reach
ed the cabin was never known, but it lssur-
missed that fierce quarrel and double MUIR
der ensued, as late that night man pas
sing near there on horseback thought he
heard loud and angry words followed by
two reports from a pistol, and looking back
after getting on top of the ridge he saw the
bright light ofa conflagration. Upon reach
ing the nearest settlement he reported what
he had seen. A party of men started the
next day to investigate the matter and
found the charred remains of the cabin and
beneath the still smoking ruins the burned
bodies of William Coleman and his wife.
Thomas Coleman was never afterwards
heard Of The place to-day has mournful
lonelines and silence, unbroken save by the
twitter of birds by day and the bowling of
the coyote by night.

THE ART OF Nor BEING UNDERSTOOD
The importance of the art of being able to
express ones self either in conversation or
in writing, with cOnciseness, force and ac-
curacy cannot be over-estimated. Yet, if
one may Judge from the talk Of his neigh
bors in railway car, and from the columns
of the average newspaper, there is no branch
of learning that, considering its Importance,
is so neglected. If he has plenty of time at
his disposal almost everyone can make him.
self understood, but too often the number of
words used is out of all proportion to the
ideas. The peculiarly nervous tempera-
ment, and the limited vocabulary of most
Americans lead them to express themselves
in vague, verbose fashion. They are too
long in getting at the pith Of what they are
talking about; and when they reach this
point their inability to remember the two
or three words, that would put their
thoughts in compact, Ineligible form,
cOmpels them to use ten, where one, were
it the right one, would have been sufficient.
Not infrequently this vagueness is cloak
assumed for the moment to cover imperfect
information or ill-defned ideas regarding
the subject that is being discussed.
This false pride which shows itself in a
desire to seem to know something about
that of which one knows little or nothing, is
the cause of much loose, meaningless talk
which may serve its purpose temporarily,
but which more often leaves a listener in
such state of uncertainty that he is as
likely as not to attribute his doubts to his
own dullness. Honesty, simplicity and ex-
actness are not qualities that are conspicu-
Gus in the conversation of an ordinary
American, or even in that of a man of liber-
al education. The temptation to extrava-
gance and insincerity, which, strictly speak
ing, are forms of dishonesty, is great, es-
pecially if one wishes to create the impress
sion that he is unusually clever; and sim
plcity and exactness of statement, being
oftentimes unattainable, give way to cir
cumlocution and generalities. The result
is that one gives at best only imperfect ex-
preston to his ideas.
