The effect Of publishing such full re-
ports of Evangeline Hamilton's trial as
appeared In the columns OF the Press last
week illustrates the good there is in
daily newspaper stories Of the scandal
court proceedings. OF course there are
newspapers and newspapers. If sensa.
tionalism is sought at the expense of
reality mischief ensues. But when the
exact facts of such an affair as
this are put into cold type for hundreds
of thousands of readers there cannot
fail to be a wholesome revulsion wrought
in the popular mind against vileness.
We venture to say, and challenge con
tradiction, that the accounts which have
appeared in the Press from day TO day OF
proceedings In the Hamilton case have
revealed to multitudes of readers as II
was never revealed TO them before the
real hatefulness OF sin. The true anti.
dote for fiction Is fact. The romancist
may paint vice In warm colors but the
reporter must picture in cold truth. Mar
ration counteracts imagination. Herein
| the preacher and the newspaper are al
| lies. One declares that God forbids sin the
| other shows that men find sin failure.
| One threatens that sin shall be punished
| the other demonstrates that sin does not
pay. The preacher makes vice seem de
testable; the newspaper makes vice seen
despicable. The pulpitlpoints to David In
sackcloth and ashes; the press points tC
Robert Ray Hamilton in the Mays Land
ing court room. Perhaps those who have
eyes to see can discern as needful 8

LORD LONDONDERRY says that
twenty years of coercion would paclfy
Ireland. But Fifty years of coercion
have not pacifed her. Leaving questions
of abstract right and wrong aside it is a
burning shame to civilization that there
is any Irish question. Just as it is a
shame that there should be @ race ques-
tion at the South The Irish people
would not raise the question Of
home rule, If IL were not vital one to
them, just as the Southern people would
not raise or care for the race question If
the Mahones in league with the Repub-
lican party were not attempting
to gain control in the South.
Neither question should have any
existence. The Administration Is
responsible for the revival of the race
question in the South and the Salisbury
government is responsible for keeping
the Irish question alive in Great Britain.
Twenty years Of coercion cannot set
tie anything with free people. Lord
Londonderry is wrong, just as President
Harrison and Malone are wrong.

Fighting a Ratel.

The ratel is described by Mr.. Boyle
as little, long nosed, savage crea-
ture" of South Africa. Its way OF
fighting is certainly novel, but it can
scarcely be called amusing. Mr.. b
tells story of this animal as ii was
told to him by native of the coun-
try.
Ii was the first time had a shot
gun. My father was with me, but in
returning home he stayed To chat with
friend. | saw the ratel creeping
round an ant-hill. lie cantered of
not very fast and | fired At an easy
range. The brute turned heels over
head Just as they do for hours at a
time when they are playing.
Ii you have seen ratels in a cage,
you must have been amused by their
performance. But it was no fun this
time He came back. had no sec
ond barrel and no knife. 1t was awk-
ward
The creature paused once. as if in
pain, but never took his eyes of me-
| did not think of running. but
dubbed my gun and stood, prepared
TO meet spring.
1t was the oldest chance that no one
had ever told me how the ratel fights
Almost every boy in the veldt knows
it, but | didn't. To wait thus, ex-
pecting leap breast high, is to give
him exactly the chance he wants
Hesitating not a second, the ratel
glided swiftly in and seized my feet
hacked him with the butt end, kicked
at him, shouted my loudest, but he
gnawed with the pertinacity of bull
dog. At every blow his teeth closed
like a wise | seized his long tail,
wrenched and twisted it, but the ratel
will not quit hold if he be cut in
pieces.
Not moment, suppose, the strug-
gle lasted. The muscles of my instep
were cut through and tumbled back
ward-not full length, but against the
ant-hill. That saved my life, proba-
bly,.
The brute let go, as it does when its
victim drops, TO spring upon his
throat and rip his stomach with his
hind claws. But ! lifted myself upon
my elbows, and lay across the summit
of the mound. That might only have
prolonged the struggle, but my father
ran up at that moment. | was many
months in bed and many more on
crutches.

UNCLE SANS CASH BOX.

New York Press.
The principal figures of the business
of the United States Government for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1889,
have been made public.
The total receipts were 1888, ,591, ,675,
of which S224,971,234 were from Gus
toms and Sl31, ,662, ,106 from internal
revenue, and the expenditures were
S2S2. .SS2, ,412, leaving an annual surplus
of Sl05.S19,263. This annual surplus is
S25, ,S42 ,S43 less than the internal reve-
nue. collections, and if all internal reve
nue. were abolished the cry of surplus
would have no excuse for existence
1t also appears that in his anxiety to
magnify the surplus producing effects
of the tariff and to make the internal
revenue seem as unimportant as pos
sible, Secretary Fairchild last year over
estimated the customs receipts S3,02S,-
795, and underestimated the internal
revenue $l1, ,662, ,103.
During the Presidential campaign Mr..
Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury
had over $65,000000 of the public mon
ey deposited in national banks, and in
sisted that it was quite natural that that
amount should be so distributed in the
ordinary course of business without ex-
acting any interest for its use. Some
how at the date of the United States
TreaSurer's statement of last Saturday
there was only S47 ,432 ,377.26 on depos-
it, or nearly q per cent. less than the
amount kept in the banks last year
These deposits were ordered to be re-
duced gradually, and even the present
amount is probably in excess of what
they would ordinarily be, for last Satur-
days statement was made up in the
midst of preparations for enormous semi
annual disbursements of interest.
The debt of the United States was re-
duced S16,255, ,92974 during the month
of June, making the total reduction for
the fiscal year $08,938.19. The debt,
less cash in the Treasury, is now esti-
mated at S1,O62, ,703, ,338.16, or rather
more than ten times the annual surplus.
OF course there can be no actual surplus
with this debt unpaid. No man who
owes so and has 81 in his pocket calls
that dollar a surplus.

HINTS ABOUT HORSES.

IT costs more to keep poor horse
than good one.
CHANGE the feed for your horses often
enough to make them relish it.
IMPROPER feeding is the cause of nine
out of ten cases of sickness among horses.
EVERY time you worry your horses you
shorten their lives and days of useful
ness.
SWEAT and dust cause the horses
shoulders to gall. So do poor, ill-fitting
collars.
AFFECTION can be pounded out of
animals. Kind treatment insures the
affection of an animal, while rough treat
ment is sure to cause its hatred.
THE temperature of water for horses
is not so much of an object as the puri-
ty of it. While it is best to have the
water cool, it is more important to have
it free from all impurities.
IT is alike dangerous to other horses
and men to spare the life of glandered
horse. Chambers is highly contagious,
incurable disease, and as rule fatal in
the human subject.
ANIMALS of vicious habits should nev-
er be used for breeding purposes, as
vices are transmitted. By careful breed
ing in this respect, the dispositions of
the animals can be partially controlled.
MARES in foal should have exercise
and moderate work, and under no cir
cumstances should they be subjected to
harsh treatment, nor should they ever
be allowed to go where they are in dan
ger of being frightened.
THE horse which can plow an acre
while another horse is plowing half an
acre, or that which can carry a load of
passengers ten miles while another is
going five, independent of all consider
ations of amusement, taste, or what is
called fancy, is absolutely worth twice
as much as the other

DROP PERSONAL D1sLIKEs.

Sandusky Register.
The NeaOdrk american truthfully says
that it is not question of personal dis
likes, but of principles that should gov
ern the Republican voters of Ohio this
year. That is sound. The Republican
party expects all its members to drop
their personal dislikes and vote the
straight ticket, from Governor down to
constable. In harmony with this idea
every Republican should act, and the
candidate who is fairly nominated and
has a reputation for integrity, should be
supported, no matter what he may have
done to arouse personal opposition, Let
the contest be before and in convention,
and there stop. If every Republican in
Ohio would act on this principle, we will
carry the State in November by fifty
thousand majority, and teach the coal
oil Democracy a lasting lesson-that the
Republicans mean business now and
hereafter when it is choice of officers
to serve the people.

REMEDIES FOR TREES.

American Cultivator.
Vegetable life is less understood by
the public than that of animals and men.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that quacks
abound who prescribe their nOstrums
as sagely as if they really knew some
thing. One of the most common no.
tions of these fellows is to bore holes in
to trees, and, after inserting sulphur or
some other compound, plug it up, rely
ing on the flowing sap to take 1t into
the circulation. As well open mans
veins and inject medicines into them.
Trees have their roots which are their
mouths, and anything that is good for
them placed in the soil anywhere
near, these roots will find. Repulsive
and even dangerous medicines may be
forced down the throat of animal or
man, but we know no way in which a
tree or plant can be forced to take any
thing that is not for its good. Its in
stinct as to that is never at fault.
There can be no doubt that coal ashes
spread under trees are often very help
full, and as they show little or no manu-
rial value, there is often difficulty in ex-
planning their good effects. One way
they help is to make a mulch. Coal
ashes are light, and the fact that they
have not much manurial value makes
them all the better for keeping down
grass, which depletes the soil of the
moisture that the trees need. Three or
four inches depth of coal ashes spread
under trees keep the soil beneath moist
and cool. If they are spread on sod
they kill the grass, and this with the de-
caying sod roots make a fine feeding
place for the roots of the tree. 1t is
probable, also, that under this mulch
the soil itself undergoes important
chemical changes, fitting its manurial
elements for absorption by roots
