INDUSTRIOUS WASTE.

The other day curious thing hap
pened in New York. A lighter laden
with 10000 cases and crates of early
vegetables was taken down the bay and
its cargo dumped overheard. Perhaps
you think the vegetables, being decayed.
were unwholeSome, and the health Off
GERS had ordered such a disposition of
them. Not a bit of it. They were as
fresh and palatable as any in the mar
ket.
They were destroyed simply because
the market was already well stocked
when this cargo arrived. Had it been
disposed of, the market would have been
glutted, prices would have fallen, and
the next incoming cargo would have
been valueless. Therefore. looking at
the matter in cold-blooded business
way, the steamship company saw no
other way out of the difficulty than the
destroying of the stock on hand.
OF course it was waste of the most
monStrous kind. Hundreds of people
in New York, who struggle for ex-
istence and who would not be able to
purchase such vegetables at any price,
could have been fed without cost to the
steamship company upon what it
wantonly wasted. Scores of charitable
institutions would have been glad to
dispose of the surplus cargo. Even, in

that they would read an account of the
generals death in the morning papers.
And yet the hero of Winchester sur
wives. He said in the beginning of the
sickness that he was not going to die,
and up to this time the unyielding will
of the brave soldier has successfully
resisted the combined assault of death
and the doctors.
If the will and imagination play such
an Important part in shaping our physi-
cal conditions, why is it that we dc not
establish some system for educating the
will, and for giving direction to the i'm
agination, in order that we may more
thoroughly enjoy life and all its concom-
itants? If we cannot subdue Death, we
know that we can at least hold him at
arms length for a long time. If we
cannot remove disease from the earth,
wouldn't it be good scheme to edu-
cate the imagination into the convic-
ton that pain is pleasure? How de-
lightful human existence will be-
come when toothache will bring a
smile to the face of the sufferer and neu-
ralgia will be courted because of its de-
liciOusly soothing sensation. If, as
scientists declare, the senses act wholly
in obedience to the imagination, what's
the use of dragging out weary and
pain-racked existence here Oh earth,
when by entering into the hypnotic state
we can revel in all the delights of para

view of the consequent advertisement,
had the vegetables been given away, it
is doubtful whether the market would
have suffered. The willfuI destruet-
ion of food in a city where hun
dreds of people are suffering for
the necessaries of life is little short of a
crime. But, reprehensible as the action
was, does it not illustrate in wonder
full degree the productiveness of the
country? In what other land could such
an act have been possible?
But by those who are hungering for
bread, little pride will be taken in this
novel illustration of the country's fer
tility. No one expects corporation to
play the part of a philanthropist; but in
this instance, the steamship company
might have served its own interests and
those of humanity at the same time.

THE PISTOL AGAIN

The fatal pistol which twas not
loaded" has come to the front again.
This time at Chicago. A bride of two
weeks loses her life through the arrant
idiocy of devoted husband, who. play
fully pointing an "unloaded" pistol at
her, finds that the result of his criminal
fOolishness is the loss of his wife's life
and the destruction of his own future
happiness.
Day by day the newspapers chron-
lcle almost the same story, and,
often told though it is, it ever fails to
convey the too apparent lesson. Why
will human beings, endowed with an
average amount of intelligence, conduct
themselves upon occasion in manner
BETTING persons lost to all sense of
reason?
The question, though often asked,
always remains unanswered. The pis-
tol-carrying or pistol-owning habit is
one of the most senSeless forms of this
idiocy. Except in the case of those
whose occupation is such as to place
their lives in peril, no one should find
the ownership of pistol either neces-
sary OF desirable. Every year the pistol
finds as many victims as any of the
numerous deadly diseases, victims
whose lives would have been spared but
for the fatal prevalence of the unnec-
essary pistol.
The only remedy lies in severe pre-
scriptive law. If the ownership of
pistols were accompanied byHthe neces-
sity for taking out license, as is the
case with the ownership of firearms in
England and Ireland, for instance, there
would probably be decrease in the
number of victims annually recorded.

HIS LAST LETTER.
Conkling's Remembrance of a
Journalistic COURTESY.

About two months ago the Holland
City (MichigaD Grondwet, the leading
Dutch paper in the United States,
published long editorial on the
presidential question, naming the late
Roscoe Conkling among some others as
available candidates. Mr.. Verwey, the
editor of the GrOndwet, in forwarding
this paper to Mr.. COnkling, addressed
that gentleman a letter in English, sum-
marizing the editorial he had written in
Dutch for the GrOndwet, to which Mr..
Conkling wrote tie following letter:
NEW YORK. March 10, 1888.

demands all my time and compels a-hasty

THURMAN.

The developments of the last few
days indicate the nomination of Judge
THURMAN at st. Louis this week as Mr..
CLEVELAND'S associate Oh the presi-
dental ticket. That THURMAN's name
would be tower of strength to any ticket
goes without saying, and yet there is a
possibility that the Democrats may be
betrayed by a sentiment into doing a
most unwiSe act.
If there were any uncertainty as to
MI. CLEVELAND'S reelection the nOmi-
nation of Judge THURMAN for vice
president might be justified On the
grounds of policy. But as there is no
doubt as to the issue of the national
contest being favorable to the Demo-
Gratis, it is hard to see what is to be
gained by Judge TnURMAN'S nominal
ton beyond the sentimental gratifica-
ton derived from hOnOring diStin-
guished Democrat, while it is easy to
see how the Democrats may afterwards
pay dearly for indulging this senti-
ment.
Judge THURMAN is Democrat of
Democrats. whose public life is written
on the brightest pages of his country's
history. His patriotism is of the old
Roman type, and his statesmanlike
qualities have been the admiration of all
his countrymen. He is a man whom
the people delight to honor because of
his unSelfish devotion to the public in
terests and because of his ardent love
for constitutional liberty. In one sense
Judge THURMAN is the GLADSTONE of
America, yet in another he is not. Un-
fortunately he is lacking in that physi-
cal vigor which characterizes the great
English statesman.
1t is because of Judge THURMAN's
physical weakness and the slight tenure
he has upon life that the GLOBE appre-
hends the Democratic convention may
possibly make mistake in nominating
him. If he is nominated he will be
elected beyond a peradventure. But
there comes the rub. Will he have the
physical strength to preside over the de-
alterations of the senate, or will the
labor and harasSing cares of the posi-
ton kill him as they have killed
younger and stronger men? This is an
important question. According to a
reasonable estimate the next senate will
be tie, and the vice president will have
the casting vote. Under these circum-
stances, doesn't wisdom dictate that
physical vigor shall be a consideration
in the selection of candidate for vice
president Oh the Democratic ticket?
There is no man ON the face of the
earth whom the GLOBE would rather
see crowned with all the honors his
countrymen could confer upon him
than ALLEN G.. THURMAN, for there is
no man more worthy of the esteem and
confidence of the nation. He is good
old man, whose name is the synonym of
purity and uprightness and patriotism,
and ought long ago to have been en-
rolled on the list of presidents. But
for all that, his nomination for the
vice-rresidency at this time might
possibly prove to be an injudicious
movement.

WHY DO WE DEP

The old, old question, ''If a man die
Shall he live again?" is giving place to
the new one, SIS it necessary that man
shall die at all?'' Only short time ago
DIR. HAMMOND, who spoke from a scien-
tiiic standpoint, announced through the
columns of one of the leading magazines
of this country that physical death was
a fiction of mans own creation, or rather
that there would be no mortality except
as man willed it. No doctrine was ever
peached that didn't find some con-
vertS, and already we see the HAMMOND
theory taking root in the minds of that
class of people who are always on the
lookout for some new thing. Men who
are reputed scientists, and some who are
respected as original thinkers, are
gravely considering the HAMMOND
proposition, and express their belief
that these fleshy bodies of ours are
capable of immortal existence, provided
they are subjected to proper regime.
With so many evidences of death and
decay on every hand, it is going to take
long time to educate the human race
to the belief that death is avoidable:
and if they should be convinced of the
fact, it will take still great deal longer
time to educate them up to adopting
habits of physical care and culture es-
5ential to human existence.
There is one thing reasonably assured,
however, and that is as to the ability of
The human will to keep body and soul
together. Take a sick person who is
impressed with the belief that he is go
ing to die, and he is almost absolutely
sure to kick the bucket. Take another
Invalid whose case is pronounced hope
less by the doctors, but who has
made up his mind not to die,
and we are startled by the amount
Of vitality the patient displays,
and in nine eases out of ten he will re-
cover. We find striking illustration
Of this in the case of Gen. SHERIDAN,
who for so many days has been the OBJ
iect of nations sOlicitude, and whose
patient sufferings have excited the SYM
pathy of the world. From time to time
the doctors have bulletined that his
days were numbered and that but a
few more hours of pain at the utmost
would bring an end to all earthly suffer-
ing for him. Within the past week,
how many nights have the American
aple gone to bed in the full belief

THE NATIONAL PRESS.
Not Worth 1t,

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A seat in congress nowadays offers
few opportunities to those who seek
distinction, or who have an ambition to
identify themselves with the history of
the country. There was time when
the work of national legislation was
rich in chances for the display of ability
and the achievement of fame; but in re-
cent years it seems to have lost all that
advantage. There are no great debates
any more, and no shining exam
plies of leadership. The proceedings
are stepped in daily monotony; and
talent goes to waste from sheer want of
stimulation and inducement. Whatever
of capacity man may have, he finds
the conditions such that he cannot EN-
ploy it in an exact and effective way.
He must be content to spend most of
his time and exert most of his influence
in the committee rooms and the depart
mentS, out of sight of the people, and
deprived of enterprise for his idle
bravery. A life of that sort would be
unsatisfactory to man of strength and
ambition if the financial reward were
twice as large as it is.

The Pioneer Press, the Republican
organ, says of its tariff resolution, that
it is not satisfactory, and.fears conse-
quences to the party more serious than
the party managers care to contemplate.
The country delegates return dissatisfied
and sore. The GLOBE, the Democratic
organ, is very enthusiastic over the out
come of their convention, particularly
its tariff views, and all delegates pro-
nounce their work as eminently salts
factory in every respect. Now we have
got the issue between the two great
parties in black and white, and six
months to sleep and think over them.
Paste them in your hats, farmers, and
vote as your best judgment may dictate.

STAY AT HOME.

1t is curious that, though Minnesota
possesses natural advantages beyond
most of her sister states, it is prin-
cipally those from outside her borders
that do her honor. The time is at hand
when people who are fortunately
enough situated to be able to take an
nual vacations are preparing for their
summer outings.
1t is safe to say that Minnesota will
contribute as large proportion as any
state to the number of these vacation
seekers. Yet it is equally certain that
with hardly an exception the Minnesota
contingent will seek It's pleasure in
places beyond the limits of the state.
We are constrained to believe that this
arises largely from an ignorance of the
many advantages which Minnesota pre-
SentS to the pleasure seekers in the
summer time.
The main object of summer vaca-
ton, we take it. is rest and recreation.
Where better could it be found than in
the woods, along some beautiful trout
stream, or by the side of lake, across
whose blue waters cooling breeZes
blow? In short, there is hardly sec
ton of the country in which the sum-
mer tourist may not find both pleasure
and recuperation.
Escape the Minnesota winters by
Southern tour if you can, for in that
is both enjoyment and comm ion
sense; but, if you are wise, remain in
Minnesota during the summer, which
at last seems fairly begun: for in doing
so you will unite all the attractions of
the most Wanted summer resort with
the comforts and the conveniences of
home. In fact, enjoyable even as Win
ter life is in this concentrating sec
ton, Minnesota has been by nature con-
stituted one vast summer resort.
