citizens of vicious boys and girls? The
answer is echoed from their industrial
education. Will not the same means,
prevent the good boys and girls from be-
coming vicious? The era of industry,
which will lift burden of crime and
pauperism from the nation-which will
abolish alcoholism, by feeding the starry
ing children and half nourished men,
with the right quality and sufficient
quantity of real food, will not come, un-
solicited. The question is being agita-
tated, and thought directed thither.
Our legislators should seriously consider
it, for we, as nation, are making pau.
pers all the time.
We learn everything we don't need,
and neglect everything that we must
know, in order to be decent or comforta-
BILE, resulting thus; hordes of men don't
know how to make living. Crowds of
WON EN- don't know how to value what is
brought in, millions of acres want
hands" while millions of hands want
acres, and knowledge to use them.
They need, and have industrial
schools in Switzerland; we need them
here; we need colleges where our girls
can learn all manner of work they need
not be built so as to compel them to
climb stairs half way to the sky, and
such colleges can be made largely self
supporting. The mental status of the
pupil would be also improved, and
quickened, by popularizing industry.
A special literary genius Is not injured
by being a practical person. We ask
the state to do as much for our children
as Cor its criminals. Our present agri-
cultural colleges are only little side
shows-accessible to few; we want
schools for the many. The knowledge
OF good housekeeping is equal to the
mastery of more than dozen trades.
What chance do our girls have to learn
1t? How can they fulfil their future du-
ties without such knowledgep We plead
for them, and for the nations most
precious interests. The marriage ban
has no power to give man skill in labor
equal to the support of a household, in
the place of previous inability to sup
port himself! and yet such consummate
folly is every day accepted and praciiced.
Let the state contravene it, as speedi-
ly as possible, by benefcient legislation,
in the interests Of its own existence,
and that of its suffering children.
Wealth, fame, and luxury are dust
and ashes; but when hand helps hand
and heart responds to heart, there will
be found the true home. The greatest
good upon earth Is the power to do good
to others. God will not impaTt his
presence In soul who will not use it.

THE Winona Herald saws:


The election in Louisiana was the first
real battle in the contest for tariff reform.
The presidents message was made an
issue and the protectionists made des-
perate effort to Brighten the people by
OF the duty on sugar would kill the IN
dustry.
The Baton Rouge Capitozian- Advocate,
which bears the label "official journal of
the State of Louisiana" has a different
idea of tho purposes and result of the
election. 1t said in Saturdays issue:
The outcome of the campaign ought to
bring the white people to their senses,
and teach them that in the future they
must have but one ticket upon which
their strength and influence shall be
concentrated. There is one compen-
sating feature in the result in this par
ish. That is, that it will be warming to
the great body of the Democracy
throughout the state, that nothing but a
strict adherence to party discipline can
save it from Republican ascendency.
Party discipline. however, cannot be
maintained save by the adoption of in
flexible rules that will give the voter and
tuC CdlulldtC dUoOlutc kudIdHttcS tudt
their rights will be thoroughly guarded
in the future against the trickery that
has too long been allowed to prevail.
We trust that the lesson of the election
in East Baton Rouge will not be lost up
on the white people, and that they will
see the necessity of adopting the neces-
sary measures to restore unity to their
ranks. Heroic remedies will be needed,
and there ought to be no hesitancy in
applying them.
We don't see anything about tariff
reform in this, and, in fact, In
glancing over the CapitOlian each week
we have failed to notice mention of
the presidents message or the tariff
question during the campaign. The
main fight seems have been to prevent
the ascendency of "niggers" in connec-
ton with a big Democratic bolt from
ring rule. The bolt seems to have been
successful in the parish in question, but
as the Cdpitolian recommends, "heroic
will doubtless be taken to
prevent recurrence of that annoying
result.

CHAPTER VI.
AN ISLAND OF ICE

l had to approach the coast within two
miles before l could satisfy my mind of its
nature, and then all doubt left me.
1t was ice!-a mighty crescent of it, as was
now in a measure gatherable, floating upon
the dark blue waters like the new moon upon
the field of the sky.
You cannot conceive how shocking to me
was the appearance of that great cleaning
length of white desolation.
Should steer north and seek to go clear Of
iti Somehow, the presence of this similitude
Of land made the sea appear as enormous as
space itself. While it was all clear horizon,
the immensely of the deep was in a measure
limited to the vision by its cincture. But
this ice line gave the eye something to meas
ure with, and when looked at those leagues
Of frozen shore my spirits sank into deepest
detection at the thought of the vastness of
the waters in whose heart l foated in my
little boat.
However, / resolved at last to land if land
ing was possible. could stretch my limbs,
recruit myself by exercise, and might even
make shift"to obtain a nights rest. l stood
in desperate need of sleep, but there was no
sepose to be had in the boat. burst not lie
down in her; if nature overcame me and
fell asleep in a sitting posture, might wake
TO find the bqSt capsized and myself drown
ing. This consideration resolved me, and by
this time being within half a mile of tho
coast, ran my eye carefully along it to OBJ
serve a safe nook for my boat to enter and
myself to land in.
Though for a great distance, as I have
said, the front of the cliff, and where it was
highest, too, was a sheer fall, coming like the
side Of house to the water, that part of the
island toward which my boats head was
pointed sloped down and continued in low
shore, with hummocks of ice upon it at irreg-
ular intervals, to where it died out in tho
northeast.
Very happily, I had insensibly steered for
perhaps the safest spot that could have
lighted on. This was formed of large pro-
lection Of rock, standing aslant, SO that
the swell rolled past it without break
ing. The rock made a sort of cove, toward
which sailed in full confidence that the
water there would be smooth. Nor was de-
ceived, for I saw that the rock acted as q
breakwater, whose still influence was felt a
good way beyond it. 1 thereupon steered for
the starboard Of this rock, and when l was
within 1t found the heave of tho sea dwin-
died to scarce perceptible undulation,
whereupon lowered my sail, and standing
10 the oar sculled the boat to low lump Of
Ice, on to which 1 stepped.
