THE DAUGHTER.

My little daughter grows apace;
Her dolls are now quite out of date;
1t seems that must take their place,
We have become such friends of late;
We might be ministers of state,
Discussing projects of great peril,
Such strange new questionings dilate
The beauty of my little girl
How tall she grOws What subtle grace
Doth every movement animate;
With garments gathered for the race
She stands a goddess, slim and straight.
Young Artemis, when she was eight,
Among the myrtle bloom and laurel
doubt if she could more than mate
The beauty OF my little girl.
The baby passes from her face,
Leaving the lines more delicate,
Till in her features l can trace
Her mothers smile, serene, Sedate.
lis something at the hands of fate,
To watch the onward years unfurl
Each line which goes to concentrate
The beauty OF my little girl.
ENVOY.
Lord, hear me, as in prayer wait
Thou givest all; guard thou my pearl;
And, when thou cOuntest at the gate
Thy jewels, count my little girl.

SENATOR KENNA's reelection shows
how exceedingly fortunate was the split
between the Salisbury and Walcott fac
tions of the Delaware Democracy which
made the election of a Republican Sena-
tor from that State for the first time in
its history. But for this bit of good
luck the Senate would have been a tie
after March 4, and the Republicans
would have been compelled to rely wholly
upon Vice President Morton's casting
vote to prevent the blocking of any leg
islation obnoxious to the Bourbons.-
His death or disability would have left
them helpless to save the bills passed
by the House of Representatives and
would have made the administration a
vast amount of trouble. To rightly ap-
preciate what aremarkable piece of good
fortune the Delaware matter was. it is
necessary to bear in mind the fact that
Cleveland carried two out of the three
counties in the State and that the Dem
ocratic plurality, on both the Congress
ional and national tickets, was over
3,4O0 in total vote not much more than
half as great as that of Cuyahoga county.
1t was rare victory and one which will
long be remembered in American poll

THE question of the purchase of a flag
for the Tennessee State Capitol coming
before the Legislature, gave an unrecon-
structed Bourbon opportunity to say that
he tried for four years to destroy that
flag, and was sorry be had failed to sue
ceed. His Bourbon listeners expressed
their appreciation of his remarks by clap
ping of hands and nodding of heads
When the bill came to vote they refused
to vote. This is sample of the Southern
repentance that Democrats love to dwell
upon so soothingly.

strongly in favor of the hot water system,
and called attention to several important
advantages it possesses over the other.

MTLCHING PLANTS

Professor Beal, who has made several
experiments to determine the best mate
rials for mulching strawberries and other
plants, gained results that led to the con-
clusion that the preferred mulch is chop
ped straw. He finds thick coat of ma
nure excellent for bedding plants. He
tried old clover hay, and had fine crop
of clover plants to kill the next spring.
Hay gives a similar result in young crop
of grass. Straw badly threShed furnishes
in the same way young grain crop in the
garden. Forest leaves, held down by
stalks, gradually blew away during win
ter, and the corn stalks alone remained
in the spring after an open winter. Pine
needles worked into the soil proved
and the same objection existed
with tan bark. Clean straw, old or new.
or corn fodder cut two inches long, less
or more, answered the best purpose

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
GERMAN WAGES INCREASING STEADILY
SINCE PROTECTION WENT INTO
EFFECT THERE.

SINCE PROTECTION WENT INTO
EFFECT THERE.
New York Press.
To the Editor Of The Press: In recent
tariff talk you showed the extremely
low wages of Belgian coal miners, and
pointed out that the comparatively free
trade of Belgium degrades the laborers
of that country. Two of my fellow
workmen, who are believers in free
trade, and to whom l have been endeav-
oring to prove that protection through
an import tariff is for the best interests
of this or any other country, claim that
in Germany-a high tariff country
coal miners Of the same classes as quoted
in your tariff talk receive still lower
wages than the Belgians. What am
to say to them? REPUBLICAN.
NeoO York, Feb, Is.
Germany is "high tariff" country,
but it has been so only since 1879. Mr..
George Strachey, the British Consul at
Dresden, free trader himself, reports to
his home government that ''the belief is
widely diffused that the tariff reform of
III W OSA Alob4it 1AOAl lulL,
and that the empire is now on the road
to industrial greatness"
The wages of labor are sharing in this
progress. Since 1879 the wages in some
German industries have advanced from
point considerably below those paid in
England to a point of equality with
them. The wages of common laborers
have advanced, for instance, from $304
to $3.50 per week.
Internal taxes are to be considered.
Belgium eXemptS all mines and quarries
from the usual business license tax
but taxes their products. Germany
levies five kinds of taxes imperial,
state, provincial, municipal and church
or school taxes, while Belgium has only
three of these claSSeS-State, provincial
and municipal. Like Germany, it ex-
empts mines and quarrieS from the oc-
cupation tax, but taxes their products.
The German tax on mine products va
ries accordingto the state in which the
mine is located and may be twice as
large in one part of the empire as in an
other. You can get some idea of the
taxation system of Germany
and Belgium by asking your representa-
tive at Washington to send you vol
umeS 99 and 100 consular reports.

A CALIFORNIA paper gives some in
teresting facts relative to the growing
of grapes. 1t says: The total expense
of cultivating an acre of grapes is SIS;
the curing and packing of an acre of
grapes, making 100 boxes of raisins,
s55. The average price for raisins for
the last four years has been about 81 go
per box. Putting the price at $1.50 per
box for the four grades, we have total
net profit of $95 per acre. Many vine
yards do better than the above. Vine
yards have frequently been known to
produce grapes enough the first year
after planting to pay expenses of cult
vation. The second year brings from
$50 to $50 per acre gross; third year, $50
to SIS.
