quency as to justify the fear that the
finest cotton crop ever known was en-
dangered. In order to ascertain pre-
cisely the extent of this danger the Con-
StitattiOn addressed inquiries to its CORE
spondents for information. To sum-
Marie: it may be said that the crop as
a whole is the best that has been known
for years; that the yield will largely ex-
coed any previous crop; that while in
some localities the caterpillar has ap-
peared, as general thing it is too late
to do serious injury.

MANY contingencies may arise to cret
ate a different state of affairs in the
sheep business, but at present there does
not appear to be any call for undue haste
in disposing of the tiocks; yet that there
is such tendency cannot be doubted by
any one taking even cursory glance at
the market reports. In the New York
City market alone, the week ending June
1S, nearly $4,000 sheep and lambs were
sold for slaughter. The average per
week sold in same market last year was
about 10000. There must be something
more than just the natural increase in
the demand for mutton that would make
this wonderful increase in the number
of sheep put on that market. Sheepmen
must be little slow in rushing their
sheep on tho mutton market,or they will
break it and dsmoralize the whole busi'
ness worse than ever. If the owners of
sheep will hold on awhile, until some of
the more anxious have disposed of their
Gocks for a song. they will at least get
better prices for their mutton, if they do
not for their wool. Then it is policy to
wait long enough to see that the markets
will not likely be overstocked. when
your sheep reach it, before shipping

Yellow Dogs in Politics.

A prominent Ohio Republican is quo
ted as saying recently that the Demo.
ocrats Of Ohio are so thoroughly disor-
ganized that the Republicans could elect
a yellow dog for Governor this year.
The remark is a reckless one, and calls
for a decided qualification.
The ability OF the Republicans to &C
complish that triumph of politics de-
pends very much on what the Democrats
do. If the latter party should put up a
mongrel of the monopoly and ring cross,
the Republican yellew dog might get
through. But even then the yellow dog
policy would be very bad one.
The nomination of yellow dogs as
candidates is curse Of the chicken va
riety, that comes home to rosst. Such
a candidate may be elected in one year,
but if he is, he is greater burden in
future campaigns than if he had been
defeated in the first place. No disci>
plins on the one hand OF decentralization
on the other can make it safe in these
days for any party to nominate candi-
dates of this breed.
1t is worth while for the Republicans
to consider how much of their present
position is due to the idea in past times,
that their party was so strong that it
could carry the burden of candidates and
officehOlders of the yellow dog variety.

| BEDLoE'S Island, where Bartholdi's
Statue of Liberty is being erected. was
named after its owner, Isaac Bedloe,
previous to 1910, when an instrument
was issued by the Governor of New
York to Bedloe in which it was stated
that in consideration of improvements
made by him on the island it should in
future be known as Love Island, and
should be privileged place where no
arrest could be made or warrant served
except by special consent of the Gsver+
nor. After the death of Bedlos the isl =

Smith, whose trustees sold it to Captain
Kennedy of the British Army for e100,
by whose name it was generally known
until purchased by New York City in
1850 for pest house site. In 1900 the
island was conveyed to the United States
and Notifications began in 1914. In 1871
the star-shaped fort called Fort Wood
was built, at a cost of of S213,00O, and it
would mount 10 guns and hold a garri+
son of $50 men. During the Civil War
the island and its buildings we're used
for hospital purposes. In later years
the name 3edloe's Island became the
exclusive one used to designate it,though
Love Hand appears by the record to be
its legal name.

FOR WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

Up and away like the dew of the morn
ing,
Soaring from earth to its home in the
sun
So let me steal away gently and lovingly,
My name and my place and my tomb all
forgotten,
The brief race of time we'll and pa
tiently run;
So let me pass away, peacefully, silently,
Only remembered by what have done.
Gladly away from this toll would 1
hasten,
Up to the crown that for me has been
won;
Unthought of by man in rewards or in
praises,
Only remembered by what have done.
Up and away, like the odors of sunset
That sweeten the twilight as darkness
comes Oh,
So be my life-a thing felt but not no
ticed,
And be remembered by what 1 have
done.
Yes, like the fragrance that wsnders in
freshness,
When the flowers that 1t came from
are closed up and gone.
So would be to this worlds weary
dwellers,
Only remembered by what have done.
Needs there the praise of the love-writ'
ten record,
The name and the epitaph graved on
the stone?
The things we have lived for, let them
be our story,
We ourselves be remembered by what
we have done.
1 need not be missed, if my life has
been bearing,
AS summer and autumn moved silent
ly on;
The bloom and the fruit and the seed in
its season,
shall still be remembered by what l
have done.
1 need not be missed, if another succeed
me,
To reap down those fields which in
spring have SoWn;
He who plowed and who sOWed is not
missed by the reaper,
He is only remembered by what he
has done.
Not myself, but the truth that In life l
have spoken,
Not myself, but the seed that in life l
have Sown,
Shall pass on to the ages-all about me
forgotten,
Save the truth 1 have spoken, the
things haveSdone.
So let my living be, so be my dying;
So let my name be, unblazoned,' un+
known;
Upraised and unmissed, l shall be re-
membered,
Yes, but remembered by what l have
done.

MILLABY'S MONEY.

"Well, we are in luck" said Mrs. Mil
laby, seating herself OF the edge of the
table where Katie, her dark-eyed daugh-
ter, was industriously employed in she'll
ing peas.
Katie started a little. As the tiny
balls of pale emerald ratified into the
shining tin pan, her thoughts were wan
dering off into the dim future, for Katie
Millaby was engaged to be married to
an enterprising young mechanic in the
neighborhood, and she was wondering
how far one piece of muslin would go
toward her simple trousseau, and wheth-
er silk dress was absolutely one of the
indispensables.
How, ,motherY said she. Has old Mr..
Riverleigh decided to keep the front
room with the alcove?
For the Mlllaby's, mother and daugh-
ter, kept their heads above water by
means of half a dozen boarders, and
a wearying sort of livelihood they found
it.
'Old Mr.. Riverleigh, indeedr said Mrs.
Millaby, with toss of her head. What
should you say. Katie, if we could set
old Mr.. Riverleigh and all the rest of
the grumblers afloat? What should you
say if were to live like ladies for the
rest of our days?
Katie opened wide her brown eyes
eyes that deepened almost TO black at
the least excitement.
Mother said she. what do you mean?
Mrs. Millaby famed herself with an
old newspaper.
4 mean said she, that Grandfather
Millaby is deadl'
'Put 1 don't see what difference that
makes to us, said Katie; for you've told
me, many a time, how angry Grand
father Mlllaby was when papa married
you. and he made his will, and cut you
off with a shilling

mother, albeit it was hard to realize that

the edge of the table, and tanning her.

per, could ever have been young and
pretty enough to tempt man to fOrego
all the hopes of the future for her sake.
Yes, know said Mrs. Millsby. And
so he did. But he has changed his mind.
Old folks always are changeable, and
he's no different, as it seems, from all
the rest. And Mary Silsbee, that does
work for Lawyer Luckey told her she'd
seen copy of the last will and testa-
ment that ever the grabbed old man
made. Lawyer Lucksy himself drew it
up-and there's ten thousand left to
Catharine Millaby in it.
Rattle, rattlel went the peas over the
floor. as Katie let the pan slip out of her
lap in her astonishment.
Ten thousand? Oh, motherr
Ten thousandP complacently nodded
Mrs. Millaby.
But. mother. why haven't we been le@
gally notified ? questioned Kate.
Time enough for that, child said Mrs.
Millaby, with an heir of mild patronage.

postman may bring the letter any min

SPEAKING about farm labor and the
competition that it has, reminds me of a
letter | recently saw from the Rev. JIM.
ThoburD, of India, who is well known
in Ohio, in which he says that in the vii
lage where he resides, neighbor works
out, receiving cents per day-when he
can get work-and another, weaver,
gets So per month; yet another man gets
81 35 for three months in sugar mill,
and his wife earns 32 cents per month
spinning thread. The living of these
people-who appear and live in better
style than most of their neighbors l
sists of coarse rice screenings, a little
meal, and now and then red peppers.
Several kinds of herbs, like wild mus
tard, are eaten in their season. Where
the family numbers children among its
members, wol6sh hunger is always pres
ent. This is quite contrast with
America. l wonder if these people, if
paid American wages-for labor in In
dia is skilled in its fashion-would go on
a strike if not permitted to boss the job?

THE Republican party will continue to
demand fair. election and an honest
count every where. Every elector, wheth
er white or black, rich or poor, irrespec-
tive of politics, has legal and moral
right to cast his vote as he pleases, and
to have it counted as cast, and until this
shall be secured on every foot of ground
over which the United States has juris
diction that particular plank in the Re-
publican platform will be readopted
from time to time until the principle
shall be recognized and respected. This
is no bloody shirt business. 1t is a mat
ter that underlies the foundations of the
Government. We have President now
who was elected by means of the SUPP
preston of honest votes. Nodoubt about
that. This election is acquiesced in but
not approved. This is dangerous strain
upon fundamental principles, and it
should not be encouraged. President
Cleveland has grand opportunity to set
his face against the fraudulent methods
praeticed by his party friends. He can,
if he will, put stop to it. Such an op
portunity to rise above party, and in de-
Tense of the vital feature Of our system
of government, is not often presented
to a man occupying the position of the
President. We shall see whether he will
have the courage to stand up for the
right; but whether he will or not, the
Republican party will continue to insist,
whether in power or out of 1t, that every
elector shall have right to vote as he
pleases, and to have his vote counted as
cast. This is now one of the foremost
issues in politics. CONNER

Confidential Charges.

1t is not surprising to learn on the
authority of newspaper correspondents
in Washington that the practice in vogue
there of receiving confidential charges"
against offensive partisans in Office is
having a most demoralizing effect all
over the country. One would suppose
that Mr.. Cleveland's knowledge of the
ready manner in which personal scandal
is circulated for private and political ad
vantage would have caused him to hesi>
tate before approving Postmaster Villas
plan for getting rid of Republican office
holders.
To send an invitation to leading Dem>
ocrats in every pOstoflice district in the
country to file secret charges against the
incumbent postmaster with view to
having him turned out without violating
the civil service rules, was to invite
wholesale SANDER under pledge that the
slanderers should be screened from ex>
posure. Thus wholly innocent persons
were made to suffer in reputation and in
pocket that unscrupulous politicians
might advance their own selfish interests.
Republicans are not the only sufferers
from this dark and cowardly method of
assassinating reputation. 1t is said that
Mr.. Hopkins was kept out of the Italian
Mission because of charges filed against
him in connection with the management
of the Penn Bank; and this is not at all
unlikely, although it is denied that any
charges have been placed on file. A thor
Ough search might fail to find any such
papers, it being understood that they are
private and confidential" To make
such charges public after pledges Of Sc
crecy have been given, would be an act
of the grossest treachery. The Admins
istration has made bad blunder in en-
couraging this species of detraction, and
the sooner it is abandoned the better. 1t
would be much more manly to take the
offices without regard to civil service
pledges than to adopt the miserable
make-shift of seeming regard for de-
cency based on secret SANDER.

THE Gardeners Monthly states that the
practice of removing the outside leaves
of the grape in order to let in the sun
and air,in order to color and ripen them,
is done under a mistaken idea that the
coloring and ripening of fruit is purely
chemical process, whereas ripening is a
purely vital process, and to get the best
results we need all the help we can get
from the living plant, and not so much
from the sun and air, except in so much
as these may help the vital powers of
the plant itself. Good healthy leaves
are the FIRST essential to vital powers.
With injury to vital powers grapes will
not coler well. The more healthy leaves
a plant has the better the fruit will col
or, and it makes 20 difference whatever
whether the fruit is in the sun or shade,
provided there are plenty of good healthy
leaves to feed the vital forces on which
the colering power depends. That sha'
ding will not act against the high color
lug has long been known to every hot
house grower. Shading the house in
very warm and sunny weather has been
found favorable to high coloring. be-
cause the excessive light and heat was
uHfavorable to the vital power.
