THE THREE AmERICAS.

THE THREE AMERICAS.
 The Public Ledger in discussion of the congress of the three Americas remarks that the Europeane governments are not more alarmed by the prospect of losing their profitable commerce with our southern neighbors than by the apparent danger of the three Americas becoming practically one in all that concerns the welfare and. pros. perity of either. The proposed alliance is to give new and more potent meaning to the Monroe Doctrine. If effected in accord- ance with MT. Blaine's programme it would virtually make united states of the three Americas, as they would be united in every- thing essential to their common safety and and prosperity. The Ledger continues: No statesman of the century ever evolved more magnificent scheme than this, the very magnitude, grandeur and far-reaching con- sequences of which stand in the way of it's accomplishment, and yet it is based on foun- dations of wisdom and expediency broader, deeper and stronger than were either of the European compacts of recent times. To England, France and Germany, that together enjoy nearly ninth-tenths of the trade with South and Central America, the commercial aspects of the scheme will be regarded more seriously than It's political ones. There is nothing that nations are so tenacious about as trade. To maintain it England has fre- quently called it National Honor, and gone to war about it. But Mr. Blaine's project does not invite nor offer excuse for war; it's purposes are all peaceful, though plethorio with promises of inestimable advantages to this country and It's Southern neighbors.

The young ladies of Burnett, Wisconsin, have formed "The Heavenly Foot" society, the object of which is to do away with the practice of wearing number two shoe on a number five foot. It is not probable that the society will accomplish much, for 1t is we'll known that very few young ladies try to wear shoes that are too small

All the indications point to cotton crop of unusual abundance this year, even sur- passing the 1000, ,000 bales harvested year ago and which are just reaching the market. The total value of the crop must amount to nearly $500, 1000, ,0OO. This means prosperous times for the South, where cotton is and doubtless always will be the chief staple.

HIGHLANDS MILITARY WEAKNESS.
 It has long been said that Britannia rules the waves," and 1t has been generally sup posed that she was provided with pretty efficient army. But MT. Arnold Forster, ,who has made an extensive study of the compara- tive merits of English and continental mili- tary equipments, takes very gloomy view of the condition of the English army and navy. He holds that the army is notorious ly behind in the equipment required by the progress in military science, and the navy is in much the same hopeless condition. The chief point of interest in his paper lies in his exposure of the causes of this inefficiency. It appears from his analysis of these causes that no single party is thoroughly responsible for the present condition of things. The army men and the naval men, whose business it is to be fully acquainted with the art of war, are the only parties who are thoroughly ac- quainted with the war service; but these are superseded by the civilians who are appoint. ed as experts to inform the first lord of the admiralty what the requirements of the ser vice are. The political first lord makes up his report from statements which are fur-
 nished to him by his subordinates, and is
 usually himself in almost complete ignor- | ance of the needs of the service which he at-
 tempts to cover in his budget. When the
 contents of this precious document are un- | der discussion in parliament, it is usually be- fore house whose members compliment the speaker by their absence, 80 that 1t is almost
 impossible to obtain an adequate considera- tion of the military needs of the country. The whole procedure Is an elaborate system
 of shirking responsibility and refusing to l consider the real condition of affairs.

the centrifugal motion of free thought.
The ship that is to sail on a rough sea
and before strong winds should be well
ballasted. The only efficient way to pre-
serve the blessings of civil freedom with.
i'll legitimate bounds is to inculcate on
the mind Of youth whilst at school the
virtues of truth, justice, honesty, temper
auce, self-denlal, aud those other funda-
mental duties comprised i'll the Chtistian
code of morals.
The catechetlcal instructions given once
a week in our Sunday schools, though
productive of very beneficial results, are
insufficient to supply the religious wants
of our children. 1t is important that they
should breathe every day Il healthy relig-
ous atmosphere in schools in which not
only is their mind enlightened, but the
seeds of Christian faith, piety and sound
morality are uouriShed and invigorated
The combination of religions and secu-
lar education is easily accomplished In
UNCONVENTIONAL schools. TO what extent
religion may he taught in the public
schools without infringing the rights and
wounding the conscience of some of the
pupils. is a grave problem beset with DIFF
iiculties, and very hard to be solved, mas
much as those schools are unusually at
tended by children belonging TO the yari-
Gus Christian denominations, by Jews
also, and even by those who profess no
religion whatever.
May God inspire the guardians ofyonth
to discharge their responsible duties with
credit to themselves, with satisfaction to
tie parents, and with a conscientious re-
gard for the religious rights of the pupils
coutided to them,

THE RAPID GROWTH OF DALLAS,
TExAs.-The following extract from
a Dallas letter to the n. O. States,
shows the wonderful growth of that ro-
bust little city:
Real estate transactions have been
heavy, amounting to over 100000
from the LIST up to the llth last. On
yesterday the transfers footed up $780,
600. Dallas is making rapid pro-
gress in population, wealth and pablo
Improvements. President Bowson, of
the Merchants Exchange, makes a
comparison Of the relative growth Of
Kansas City and Dallas. He says
that in 1870 Kansas City had 80, 200
inhabitants, and in 1879 60,520; while
Dallas in 1886 had $4,000, and in
1889 something less than 10000,
showing a gain for Dallas in three
years neaoly as great as that Of Kan
sas City in nine years, The taxable
wealth of Kansas City in 1879 was
$40, 6O6, 900, and of Dallas in 1889
over Sls,0V0,000, and including East
Dallas about s21, 100000. The taxa
BILE values are official, and the popula-
ton estimated by the Merchants Ex-
changes of the respective cities. If
Dallas continues to grow it will in
1895 have population of 100000,
and a taxable valuation of over S4O,-
100000.

LEGALLY DEAD BUT STILL ALIVE.
A telegram from Atlanta, Ga, of a
recent date, says: A month has pass
ed since John Pickett expiated the
crime of murder on the gallows. The
memory of the event has been reawa-
kcned in a remarkable manner A re,
port comes from Sumpter county that
Pickett is still alive and living in that
portion of the State; that after the
hanging his body was taken in charge
by friends, who worked successfully at
resuscitation. The story has created a
good deal of interest in this city, for If
Pickett is still alive and is apprehend-
ed, the question is whether be can be
further punished. He has been de,
clared legally dead, and the case will
prove one unparalleled in the history
OF the State.

A Dakota Ftend Murders His Wife and
Blows Off the Top of His Head
DICKINSON, Dak., Feb. 27.-One of the
most sensational tragedies ever enacted
in this section of Dakota took place about
. o'clock Tuesday in which two persons
lost their lives. John Holler, German,
lived with his family, wife and five
children, on claim two miles from here.
He and his wife had been having some
trouble and he threatened their lives.
His vile left him and went to neigh
boris for safety, and in short time her
husband followed her, taking with him
a Winchester rifle. After first driving
the people from the house where she had
taken refuge, by threats of numbering
them all, he entered the house and
dragged his defenseless wife from her
hiding place and deliberately murdered
her by firing two shots, one of which
took effect in. the left breast and the
other in the abdomen. He then went
outside and placed the muzzle of the gun
against the his left temple and fired,
blowing off the whole top of his
head. 1t is said that he killed a
farmers wife some years ago In the
East, and he was accused of burn
ing house near here three yeare ago
to obtain the insurance, thus showing
that he was bad man. His intention
was to cremate his five small children,
but fortunately they escaped the horrible
