The Sank Centre club went to St. Cloud
to play the ball tossers at that place at
the county fair on Friday last. In the
seventh inning the score stood five apiece
and the Sank Centre men had the best
outlook for the gam" when the umpire
made rank decision in favor of the St
Cloud men. The Sank Centreites would
not stand that kind of deal and threw
up the sponge and the game was given
to St. Cloud to O. Excitement ran high

SYRIAN AGRICULTURE.

New York Mail and Express.
The valley of CGle Syria is fertile plain
and produces grain and corn. But the
wonder is that it should producer at all,
for it has been titled for centuries and no
effort is ever made to enrich it. The
modes of agriculture in use 1900 years ago
are still in use. A crooked stick still
serves for plow and simply scratches the
surface. saw the threshing floors. The
grain is threshed out by oxen treadlng
upon it and dragging wooden sleds furn-
ished with sharp stones and pieces of
glass on the underside to cut up the stalks.
The grain, then separated from the chatf
by sieves and pitchforks, is take to the
water and carefully washed. All along
our route, at the threshing fields as far
south as the ancient JeZreel, in Samaria,
we saw the Turkish tax gatherer, or the
representative of the mOney-lender, pre-
siding over the process and separating
the product in portions, leaving to the
fellaheen or farmer the smaller share.
Twenty-Five per cent. is the usual rate of
interest, and most of the farmers have
become reduced to condition OF serf-
dom. There are herds of black cattle in the
valley and large flocks of goats and sheep,
which affiliate easily together. The sheep
have bulky, fatty appendage at the tail.
The black sheep in this land are numer-
GUS brotherhood. The old conundrum,
"Why do white sheep eat more than
black?" and its answer, Because there
are more of them," did not start in Syria.
for the black are often in the majority
In one large flock saw only three white
specimens, and it was rather out of
courtesy that we called one of these white.
The goats are an unmitigated nuisance.
They prevent the growth of trees, which
but for them and the oppression of the
Turks, who are about as bad, would again
cover the mountains, which are now bare.
Napoleon said you will have to kill off the
goats before trees will grow on the Island
of Elba.

WHITTIER ON LONGFELLow.

WHITTIER ON LONGFELLOW.
Walter Brooks in New York Mail and Express,
Referring to Longfellow l asked Mr..
Whittier if he considered him as great
poet as Tennyson.
81 regard Longfellow as fully the
equal of Tennyson," he replied. "In
fact am inclined to believe TennysOn
has never written anything surprising
the productions of our best American
poets. And to-day Longfellow is more
popular in England than the laureate.
| regard 'Evangeline' as one of the
greatest of poems. Before Longfellow
wrote it l had taken a good deal of
pains to hunt up the history of the ban
ishment of the Acadians, with view
of writing upon the subject myself. 1
kept putting it off, however, and Haw-
thorne heard of the history, but thought
he couldn't do anything with it, so he
gave it to Longfellow, and the subject
fell into Just the right hands, for ne
body living could have told the story so
well as Longfellow has told it. Had
attempted to tell it my indignation
would have got the better of me, which
would have had the effect to spoil the
story from the standpoint of art; but
Longfellow never got indignant; that
was trait of character he never pos
sessed. All, Longfellow was very
lovely individual. don't think he ever
had an enemy in the world. The last
time visited him, as he helped me TO
put on my overcoat when l was going
away, he said, with smile, why,

er enjoy putting on my own coat Well
of my own day and generation DIR.
Holmes is about the only one left now.
never was so intimate with him as
with Longfellow and Emerson; yet l
hardly know why. Holmes is one OF
the most enjoyable of men; and he has
written things that will live as long as
ANYTHING. But, like me, l guess his
working days are about over, and, so far
as am personally concerned, I'm not
sorry. If have done any good in life

happier l thank God for it."

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Old woman described in the nursery bal
lad, who " lived upon nothing but victuals
and drink" and yet would never
be quiet" was undoubtedly troubled
with chronic indigestion. Her vlctuals,
like those of many other elderly persons
whose digestive powers have become i'm
paired, did MT agree with her. This was
before the era of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, or some one of her numerous
friends and relatives would undoubtedly
have persuaded her to try the great spe-
cific for dyspepsia, constipation and bill
iousness. This would have been meas
ure of self-protection on their part, for
she would soon have been cured and
ceased to disturb them with her clamor.
The most obstinate cases of indigestion,
with its attendant heartburn, tlatulence,
constant uneasiness of the stomach and
of the nerves. are completely overcome oy
this sovereign remedy. Chills, fever and
bilious remittent, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are also relieved by 1t. At

Gov. FORAKER does not believe in
half way measures in dealing with those
who set the law at defiance, even if they
do happen to be influential saloon-keep-
ers of the Cincinnati type. In letter
to Mayor Mosby concerning the enforce
ment of the law against Sunday liquor
selling in Porkopolis, the Governor says:
'Do not tolerate any defiance of law.
No man is worthy to enjoy the free in
stitutions of America who rebels against
a duly-enacted statute and defies the
authorities charged with its enforce
ment. Smite every manifestation OF
such a spirit with a swift and heavy
hand" That's the right sort of talk,
and it will meet the appreciation of eV-
cry law abiding citizen of Ohio.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1889.

OUR offer of low-rate campaign papers
met with responses from some of the
post-offices of the County. We desire to
express thanks to those of our friends
who interested themselves in the matter,
and to repeat the declaration that in no
other way can Republicans of the Coun-
ty so effec ually promote the good cause
in the campaign in which they will soon
be engaged.
The rate offered (25 cents each, in clubs
of ten and upward, until after the No
vember election ought to add one thous-
and names to the subscription list of THE
CHRONICLE within two weeks. That ad-
ditionaI constituency would be reached
and stirred every week for about fifteen
weeks, at a cost of less than two cents
week for each. Is this not, incompara-
bly,, the cheapest and best way to reach
the people? Is not the newspaper, 60
ing into families week after week for
more than three months, more apt to
make an impression than passionate ap-
peals addressed to men on the eve of the
election, at one hundred times the cost ?
The offer is still open, and we hope to
hear from every post-office of the County.
Remember: The price is 25 cents for each
subscriber, in clubs of ten or upward,
from the time received until the week
following the election.
This plan offers cheap, easy, and eff
fective way to reach the people, and the
Republicans of the County should avail
themselves of it with spirit

SUNLIGHT ON TREES.

Trees nearly always develop best, in
other words make most wood, in the full
enjoyment of light, but their capacity
of developing under shade varies greatly.
The yew will thrive in the densest shade,
while few years overtopping kills the
larch; the beech will grow with consid-
cradle energy under partial shade, where
the oak would only just keep alive, and
the birch would die. When planted IN
moist places all species are less sensitive
to the withdrawal of lig 1t. In the open,
naples, elms, sycamOres and others
grow well and make good shade trees;
in dense forest they thin out and have
but scanty foliage. Conifers, such as
spruces and frs, which preserve foliage
of several years, have perhaps, the great
est capacity of growing under shade and
preserving their foliage in spite of the
withdrawal of light. In America sutii-
cient data to group the forest trees, ac-
cording to the amount of light required
by them, have not yet been collected,
but rules based on experience have been
formed in Germany where the behavior
of trees under different conditions OF
light has been carefully studied. 1t has
been found, for instance, that on the
same branch those leaves which are de-
veloped under the full influence of sun
light are not only larger and often
tougher in texture and thicker, but that
they have larger number of stomata
or breathing pores than those less ex-
posed to light. The whole subject is
one of the most imp lrtant in forestr :,
and observations and experiments are
to be carried out in regard to 1t In the
United States.

TOO BIG A FILL AT ONCE.

TOO BIG A FILL AT ONCE.
Cleveland Leader.
No good and much harm is likely to
result from the wild talk of certain pa
pers, the New York Herald for one,
about the filling up of the 100000
acres just acquired from the Sioux Indi-
ans in seventy days, or any like period.
These lands are about six times as ex-
tensive as the entire Oklahoma district.
They are much less accessible and hun
dreds of miles farther from the nearest
thickly populated sections of the coun-
try. The climate of Western Dakota is
not so attractive as that of the Indian
Territory, and there is no such dearth
of land open to settlement in the most
remote parts of Dakota as in the States
surrounding the Indian Territory. The
facilities for bringing in farming outfits
and supplies are much inferior to those
which existed in Oklahoma when the
district was opened. Above all, the
Sioux reservation has not been adver-
tised like Oklahoma and given the rare
fascination of forbidden ground which
had been persistently sought for many
years by a noisy and aggressive horde
of adventurers.
For these reasons we think that the
rush of settlers will be far less than
many writers seem to anticipate. The
choicest bits of land may be taken up
almost Immediately upon the formal
opening of the vast area purchased of
the Indians, but it is scarcely possible
that in the face of Dakota winter fast
approaching 10000 or 10000 families
will rush into the wilds of Western Da-
kota, in ten weeks or ten months. AL
lowing for the number of persons who
will settle in towns, it would take 3OO,-
600 people, or $4,000 families, TO fill up
the ceded lands. This means that one
half of the entire present population of
the Dakotas is expected to be poured in
to the Sioux reservation in one grand
flood. The idea is prepoSterous, and no
body should sacrifice his property or en-
danger the lives of his family, under the
belief that all the land in the immense
tract just acquired by Uncle Sam will
be taken by autumn
