Exploration of Greenland.

The FrGnkfurter ZeitWng publishes a let
ter from it's Copenhagen correspondent
stating that a new expedition for explor-
ing Greenland will start next summer from
Denmark. The plan of work has been
arranged by the naval lieutenant Ryder.
The party will consist of nine persons, with
three boats, and a steamer to convey
them to the eastern coast as soon as the
condition of the ice will allow of a landing.
1t is proposed to explore in the course of
the summer the region lying between 66deg.
and 7Sdeg. north latitude, pushing as far
as possible into the interior. Sledges will
be employed during the winter, going
over as much ground as possible. The
expedition will be %provisioned AMI
equipped for two years, at the end Of
which time the steamer will return 10 take
them away, cruising along the east coasttill
they get down to the shore. The expenses
have been estimated at from 100000 to
290,00O kroner equal to from about e13,9OO
to Sic, 1907, and the project is so popular
and looked on so favourably by the Govern
ment, that it is practically certain that the
Diet will grant the money .-Ttme8

In his report to the Colonial Congress
now sitting in Paris about Senegal and the
French Soudan, as it is called, Captain
Binger, an intrepid explorer, who has late
~ returned from these countries, gave
some interesting information. NJ. Binger
advised the Governments in the first place
tn avoid annexing African territory, but
to establish ProtectOrates instead, az
thereby complications with hostile tribes
would be more easily avoided or obviated.
Reffrcing 10 slavery. the explorer remark.
I'D that those who had not visited Africa
we're inclined to take a different view of it
from those who had lived any time in that
country. AS a rule the African slave was
far from being badly treated by the Mus
Sulmans. he was we'll fed; his children
we're no longer regarded as chattels of
trade; and even when freed he often re.
turned voluntarily to the service of his
master. Captain Binger, moreover, insist
a. that freed slaves wanted attention even
more than those who were in bondage,
Scr they frequently turned ont rather dan
geCOus vrgaboads. After having thus
thrown a rather new light on this much
debated question of "African slavery
Captain Binger defended the missionaries
against the attack OF a hostile speaker,
and, amit applause, spoke of the French
priests in Africa as powerful Instruments

The Cardinal Archbishop of Paris has
issued an energetic protest against Gore
nation in accordance with the formal de-
eisions of the Holy See. la his circular to
the priests of his diocese Cardinal Richard
calls the practice a "Pagan custom, which
the Municipal Council Of Paris, in its
hatred of Religion, is endeavouring to make
common. The Catholic Church, as the
Cardinal points out, has preserved the
traditions respecting burial which the
Jewish nation had originally received from
the Patriachs, and had adopted the custom
of depositing the dead in consecrated clay.

WHERE THE CATTLE ARE.

There are simply no native steers east
of the Mississippi river. was the remark
/ a gentleman made TO the writer the
other day after an extended trip in that
country. The same Is true of Iowa. Ne
braska and part of Kansas if we exclude
those now in the feed lots eating corn
preparatory for the shambles. There are
many of these, but we doubt If more
than common at this time of the year.
The question then presents itself,
where will the steers come from that are
! to take the places made vacant when
these ripened cattle are gone: Montana,
Wyoming. Colorado and the territories
/ west can not supply over 200. 600 this
year, if all shipments are sold for feed
ers. This IS less than a thirty DAYS sup
ply for the Chicago market alone. Ari-
IONA. New Mexico. the Indian territory
and Texas are the only resources. Kan
sas has absorbed l50, 900 head from these
countries already this spring to feed on
grass and grain, designing To market
them from Christmas on into the spring
and summer of 1891. Those sec
tons still have a few steers I'M
sold. but if the local papers tell the
! truth the number is comparatively small.
1t i universally admitted IN Texas that
the steer crop Is smaller than it was a
year ago-there has been a cutting down
year by year since 1881.
If the southwest IS our main reliance
for beef steers: il the number is smaller
there than in the past: if the corn states
are out of steer cattle does 1t not begin

stoc6men and farmers should husband
their cattle resources.

the steers now eating corn are disposed
of. and under q decline Ia the foreign

THE EDUCATED FARMER

The baccafaureaue sermon. beforestne
graduating class at the Massachusetts
Agricultural college was delivered june
10 by Prof. C. S. Walker. His text
was Luke xxi, 30: Strengthen Thy
Brethren" The topic was, The Duty OF
the Educated Farmer" Prof. Walker
said:
Heretofore in all parts of the world
the farmer has been no match for his adj
versary. He has never held his own
against the soldier or the priest. against
the politician or the statesman. In
ancient times he was the slave; in the
middle ages the serf. In the nineteenth
century he is the slave, the serf, the
peasant or the proprietor, according to
location.
American farmers, as class, are face
to face with crisis. They haveSub-
dued a continent and furnished the
raw material for our factories, bread
for our people and manhood for our
civilization. They have sustained the
nations credit with their hard-earned
dollars, rescued endangered liberty with
their conscientious ballots and defended
time and again the stars and stripes with
their loyal blood. Vigorous in body,
strong in character, striking IN individu-
ality. lovers of home. massive in common
sense, fertile in resources, devout bellev
ers in Providence, the farmers of Amerl-
ca will never allow themselves to be over
whelmed by the fate that sunk the tillers
of the soil in India, in Egypt, in Europe.
From all parts of this land farmers
are coming together. Organization and
cooperation are wonderful ideas that
have awakened in them as never before.
They are grasping hands with grip that
means something, means uniting upon
ends to be gained. They demand for
themselves and their children an
education equal TO the best.
They insist upon fair share
of the profits of American industry,
claiming that no state can long exist in
which the tillers of the soil bear most
of the burdens and share little of the
blessings of advancing civilization.
''But they are in danger of making
mistakes in the struggle that shall turn
back the progress of the movement. They
demand leaders. Tosupply this demand
is the imperative duty of the educated
farmer. Whatsoever of bodily vigor,
mental power and moral heroism the
educated farmer may have acquired
from ancestors, college or university, he
will need that he may consecrate it TO
the great work of strengthening his
brethren. the farmers of America, so
that they shall ever remain an immOva-
BILE foundation of this, the only republic
whose empire has not been rapidly I'm
dermined.

"No state" says the Kansas City Jour
nal, ''has been lied about more persist
emily than Kansas, and no state can bet
ter afford to have the truth known"
That is true. And the worst of it is, the
lies have generally originated at home.
interruptions newspapers, in order to
uphold the fraud of prohibition, or the
protective tariff as they have interpreted
that principle, have grossly and infam-
Ously slandered the people from whom
they get their living, and these ISLANDERS
have gone out to blacken our reputation
abroad. This accounts in large measure
for the heavy decrease in immigration
Kansas has suffered in the past few years.

THE MEN WHOM THE TIMES DEMAND

From the Omaha Republican.
These are times that demand men.
Strong minds, great hearts, true, ready
to do the right, and whom the lust of
office will not pOllute with doubtful
deeds. What good can come from man
without opinions and no will power to
back his judgment? OF all men on earth
none are of less use in every vocation in
life than the man who has parrot S
tongue, that can only initiate. More
than ever in the history of this republic
men of honor are in demand; men who
can face a demagogue or a tyrant and
damn his treacherous batteries or his
imperious demands without finching.
Men who live above the fOgs, tall and
sun crowned in their private thinking
and their public acts. Yes, men are in
demand, for the rabble and the creeds
and the special interests, the tigers Of So
ciety, the castle lords, the trusts, the
combines, the money power, each the
others blood will let for little gain of
that root of all evil, and to meet these
evils that threaten the very liberties of
our land while freedom weepS and justice
sleeps humanity is crying aloud for men
of thought and viii and honor and de-
termination to guide our ship of state

A JUNE EVENING.

A dangerous wind with hot caress,
Is lazily drifting by;
The tired sun, as he sinks TO rest,
Is painting with gold the sky;
The evening burns with luminous glow,
TIL wonderful tints unfold
And the dropping leaves are bending low
From the kiss Of the breeZes bold.
The sensuous blending of the warmth and wind
Has infinite day dream power;
And slowly drift in a shadow-time dream,
Thro witchery of the hour.
Then shifting my hammock, with tender hand,
This wind-ghost of droWsy rest,
Coming on wing of summer night breeze,
Sweeps away care from my breast.
All have you come back to me, darling,
IT'S surely your touch on my hair.
The twilight with mystery trembles,
Yes, Pm very sure now you are there,
Did you come on a rosy cloud, darling?
Stairway built out of light?
And the angels are lighting their star-lamps
To keep your way back TO them bright.
But the rose clouds are turning to lilac,
And the gold Is becoming gray;
a new moon, just over the tree tops,
Has only moment to stay;
And now she is quietly sinking,
The trees with low murmurs shake;
The darkness is thickly falling,
And I've dreamed myself awakel
