tended than these. It was a gigantic
scheme for those who inaugurated
it and flag of honor should ever
wave its folds above the dome of

thoughtfulness and patriotism. 1t

lars to ferry all these manned and

many workers now in the field who
will reach well earned harvest in

graves are in the valley below, among

SIX years after his marriage, a
Minnesota husband discovered that
his wife was a kleptomaniac. He
then learned for the first time that
she had this infrmity when he
married her. and that the fact had
been concealed from him and her
relatives. He moved to annul the
marriage. The Supreme Court of
that State holds that kleptomania is
not ground for dissolving the mar
rage tie. Whether or not this be
species of insanity, it does not affect
the reason or cloud the understand
ing to the extent of rendering the
victim incapable of eomprehenoing
the nature and obligations of the
marital contract. It was then
claimed, says the New York Herald
in behalf of the husband that the
concealment of the afiictiol from
him was fraud that vitiated the
marriage. The court admitted that
there were receptions which would
have this effect. 'But," says Judge
Vanderburg, generally speaking,
concealment or deception by one of
the parties in respect to traits or de-
fects of character, habits, temper,
reputation, bodily health and the
like is not sufficient ground for an
nulling marriage. The parties
must take the burdens of informing
themselves by acquaintance and sat
isfactory inquiry before entering in
to contract of the first Importance
to themselves and to society in
general" The application was &C.
cordingly refused.

THE ELECTION.

The result of Tuesdays election
throughout the country can not be
told yet with accuracy, though
enough is known to show. that it
was a sweeping victory for the Demo
Gratis. In New York the Republicans
were showed under, and in most of
the States there were large gains,
in the West which was at
trbuted to the effect of the McKinly
tariff. It is believed that the Demo
cratic gains will be sufficient to in
sure the House Democratic by a
good majority.

The American Merino,

The day of the American Merlno
was from 1865 to 1875. When
wool was selling from so cents to
81 pound, and the farmers want
ed the sheep with the most wool,
and the Merino ram, with his
wrinkles and fleece OF 25 or 80
pounds, seemed to be just what
was wanted. There is no denying
that the American Merino did
bring thousands and thousands of
dollars into the West. The first
ofthese sheep were smooth, with
sllken wool; then came the rage
for wrinkles, and money was
lavishIy spent for the sheep with
the greatest number of folds.
From that time dates the downfall
of the American Merino. These
greasy, wrinkly rams, in a few
years did more to destroy the high
character of our woods than can be
regained by years of careful breed
ing. What remains of this class of
sheep is being rapidly sent farther
west, and even if it be not charit-.
able to indulge the hope, it is still
probable that the use of these
sheep will have the same effect on
the sheep woods of the West that
they have had on ours. Twenty
five years ago the American
Merino was great sheep, and a
small fortune is in store for the
man who can make him what he
was at that date.-Rural World.

THE Ct5NDITION IN KANSAS.

The Globe of Atchison, Kan, re-
cites deplorable condition of af
fairs IN that part of the greatest
Northwestern State. Starvation is
impending; everybody who can is
getting away Crops have failed,
there is no money in the country,
and the prospects ahead are not en-
couraging. The people feel that if
tkey were to remain there another
year they might not be able to raise
money enough to get away, so they
are taking time by the fore lock and
are going. whatever the sacrifice to
obtain means of travel. The article
says, 'Ethat most of the people are
going to Louisiana, buta great many
are going to Oregon" Well, wheth-
er they travel to one distance or the
other, they will certainly find their
circumstances very much improved,
but at the same time it may be pre-
dicted with absolute certainty that
those who seek their homes in the
South will. as a rule, fare far better
than those who go to the extreme
West. In the first place, it will cost
them less than half the money to
60 to the South; in the next place,
they will find better soil, better
climate and a larger market for what
they raise; and, finally, they Will
find the people with whom they will
make their new homes much more
congenial and neighborly than those
they will encounter in distant
Oregon. The moral of this item says
the Atchison Globes that when peo-
pie are compelled to leave the v est
they should turn their faces South
ward, not necessarily to Louisiana,
but to any one of those sections of
the South whose natural resources,
climate and industrial development
seems best adapted to their deeds

DURING the late unpleasantness
when this country was going
through the fiery ordeal of a cruel
war the supply of American cotton
was cut of, and England turned to
India for her supply. This devel-
oped the industry of cotton raising
in India which is now one of the
chief sources of supply. The Nc
Kinley bill promises to do for
wheat, corn, beef, pork and lard
what the war did for cotton. En-
gland will turn elsewhere for her
immense supplies which we have
been furnishing, and the American
farmer will suffer by reason of the
depreciation of the market price for
his surplus products. The more
