Hon. Dan Ryan, present Secretary OF
State and who will be nominated this
week by the State Convention at Cleve.
land, is self made man and one that
the great State of Ohio may justly feel
proud OF. The Ohio State Journal OF July
9th contains the following brief history
of the man
Dan Ryan, the present Secretary OF
State, came from poor but honest
parentage. His mother washed to
send Dan to school. And that son
was honored in the very community in
which he was reared in this manner in
every position in the gift OF the people
who knew his history. He was City
Solicitor of Portsmouth, Prosecuting At.
torney of Scioto county and then sent
to the Legislature, in which body he
made such a clean and brilliant record
that he was placed at the head of the
State ticket and elected to his present
position. There is lesson in the lives
of all such men for the boys OF to-day.
Garfield, Harris and Ryan never had
any summer vacations in their boyhood.

It is true that from 1875, Centennial
year, until 1850 not single state was
added to the Union. This was during
a period when the Democratic party had
control of the Lower House Of Congress.
However, when that party saw the inevi'
table it took steps to admit those terri
tories claiming recognition as States OF
the Union. Since the beginning OF 1889
six States, namely, the two Dakotas,
Montana, Washington, Idaho and
Wyoming have been admitted to sister.
hood in this great union OF States, now
forty in all. No such addition can ever
be again made with the present territory
belonging to the United States. But this
growth will be one OF the things for
whice the administration of Benjamin
Harrison will be noted.

One OF the prominent figures of this
nation of little over a quarter OF CEN
tury ago was numbered with the silent
multitude in the death of John G.
Fremont. No man in the nation was
better known by name and nickname
than was Gen. Fremont The name
"Wooly Horse" applied to Fremont dur
ing his campaign for the Presidency in
1856 was derived from the long haired
horse found by the General in the
Rocky Mountains on one OF his explor-
ing expeditions, five of which he man.
aged with great success. His success
as an explorer gained for him the name
of pathfinder" The life of John G..
Fremont was full of exciting events,
among some Of which were the stealing
of the sixteen.year.old daughter OF Thos.
Benton, bitter Democrat Of Missouri,
and making her his bride; receiving the
nomination OF the Republican party as
its first candidate for the Presidency in
1855; issuing an emancipation proclama'
don when in command oil the federal
forces in Missouri in 1861, which was
soon countermanded by President Lin
coin. Fremont refusing to be corrected
towithdraw his military order was shortly
afterwards removed from his command
Fremont was again nominated in 1856
for the Presidency by few men who
sympathized with his views and wht
were opposed to the policy OF Presiden
Lincoln. To this nomination Fremon
would not give his consent OF acceptance
for the reason that it would be hopeles
for him and would aid the Democracy
Since that time Gen. Fremont has beer
known as fearless patriot and an hon
est man. His death removes one Of th
recognized leading men Of this natioI
during the rebellion.

Is there anything the matter with Woman?
Last Wednesday seventeen DEGREES of divorce
were granted by one court in Chicago. OF
tho applicants for divorce fourteen were
wives and three were husbands. On the
same day five bills for divorce were filed.
four of them by wives. The only husband
who applied for divorce was young Ger
man baron of large wealth and excellent
social standing. His wife, though an Amer
ican by birth, declines to live in this country.
She prefers to reside in the capital of the
German empire. where there are better op-
portunities for pleasure. She left her hus.
band some five years ago, and refuses to re-
turn to him. Although considerable business
was done in that line, Judge Horton seemed
to think that 1t was not very good day for
divorces, for he stated that thirty cases
were delayed by lawyers who had failed to
present certificates of evidence. He gave
notice to them to practice greater diligence.
A Chicago judge who has given special at
tention to the matter says that five times as
many women as men apply for divorce.
Are there five times as many men as women
who cannot be lived with, or do five times
more women than men get tired of being
married. It has been persistently asserted
that women possess moro affection as we'll as
greater constancy and devotion than men.
It has also been stated that they care more
for home and domestic pleasures than men
do and that they will sacrifice more to se-
cure and to retain them. Is this entirely
true, or ia there growing desire among wo-
men for more freedom and "fun" and less
responsibility?

ELECTRIO RAILROADS.


Mr.. Joseph Wetzler has been making q
study of the electric railroad, and in Serb
ner's Magazine for April he gives some of the
results of his study. He is SO much impressed
with what has been done that he thinks that
within ten years there will not be a single
horse railroad company in operation in this
country.
construction in this country 179 electric
railroads, using nearly 1900 cars and 1890
miles of track. 1t is the general impression
that the time has not yet come when electric
ity can be applied to railroad work eithe,
very proftably or very successfully, but Mr..
Wetzler does not hesitate to declare that ii
has been completely demonstrates" THAT "the
operation of street railroads by electricity" ii
"more economical than by either horses
or cables" And he gives tables In which
the gross and net earnings of q street rail
road In Davenport, Iowa, while horse powe,
was used. are compared 18th those yielded
In corresponding period after the substi.
tuition of electricity. The average monthly
increase of net earnings was 210 per cent.
while the increase of gross earnings was 81
per cent. "Other places" he says, "have
shown still more remarkable results, but the
reticence of the managers of these roads nat.
urally prevents the publication of what
might otherwise be regarded as almost
apochryphal earnings"
This ID surprising and interesting, If true.
The strongest indication that 1t Is not en-
tirely true is that the managers of the big
horse railroads are not Fastening to add to
the profits of their companies by using cleo

Pure Gold Versus Dross.


To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Two men of equal talent, good common
sense, industry and thrift, start out in life.
One marries a woman who is a real helpmeet,
is industrious, economical, and does with her
might what her hand finds to do to help her
husband climb the hill of success and be q
man among his fellows. That woman is
pure gold. The other marries Miss Dross,
then hires woman to take care Of her. If
they have children he hires nurse girl to
take care of them. His wife, having plenty
of leisure, walks the streets, goes to mat
inees, and in society is good patron
of the dressmaker and milliner. No matter
If her husband carries to his work or
place of business a basket and eats cold
dinner. No matter If in business he has to
spend half his time in borrowing money to
meet his notes or pay other obligations. It
is the harvest he reaps for having married
Miss Dross.
The one man is almost sure to rise in the
world. The other might as well try to climb
mountain with milestone about his neck.
Oh womanl woman! art thou gold or art
thou dross. OF what use art thou in the
world; to be useful, to serve your family and
the world to the best of your ability. Then
trust results to God with faith and hope is
the best religion to live and die by.

United States cases have been found in Cali
foruia in some of the states of the northwest,
in Utah and in Louisiana. Many cases exist
in New Brunswick. In the Sandwich Islands
the disease first broke out In 1868 and there
are now 1,100 lepers in the Molokai eettle-

West Indies.
Two German engineers propose rapid tram
cit by means of three continuous platforms
moving along the streets side by side. The
lowest of these platforms is four inches
high and moves at a uniform speed of five
feet per second. Any ordinary pedestrian
can, they state, mount this platform from
the ground without difficulty, and from this
he can with equal ease step onto a second
platform four inches higher that the first
and moving twice as fast. The passenger
thus acquires speed of ten feet per second,
and, stepping onto the third platform in the
same way, he is carried at speed of fifteen

grees as he got on.
DR.. Stellwag, the famous Austrian oculist,
during the course of recent lecture at Vien-
ma related the following story of Dom Pedro
of Brazil: He said that one of the ex-Em-
peror's dearest wishes had been to have big
hospital at Rio, but that he lacked the
the money wherewith to build 1t. and the
wealthy people could not be induced to sub
scribe. Then an idea came to him, as 1t had
to the German Emperor Joseph a century
ago. He began to grant life peerages to all
who were willing to subscribe good round
sums toward the hospital. The patents Of
count, viscount and baron were not heredi-
tary, and If the children wished to inherit
their fathers title they had to pay for it
afresh. Brazil became thereby peopled with
mobiles and the hospital was built on grand
scale. When 1t was completed Dom Pedro
had the following inscription placed on its
gates: "Vanatas Humana Miseriae Huma-
nae!" C"Human Vanity to Human Misery

closer planting. when we remember that
an upright tree may be quite as productive o
as spreading one. If space is given to in
sure sufficient feeding-ground, the upright
growing trees. equally productive, requires
as much root.room as those of a spreading
growth. In these wide-plantsd, grassy Or
chards, from which the hay is annually re-
moved, and to which only occasional top-
dressings are given, We can only hope for
biennial crops. Tillage and manuring is re-
quired to make annual producers. Even
these will not insure yearly crops with all
varieties.
Under different system, early bearing
sorts being used, quicker and better results
may be obtained by much closer planting,
providing the fertilization and tillage are
commensurate. With these early bearers,
planted twenty feet each way, much more
prompt and profitable results may be bad.
The fruit on young trees, well cared for, is
large and handsome. selling at high prices,
and large quantity may be obtained in the
ten or twelve years before it is necessary to
thin out the orchard. The close setting is q
protection to both trees and fruit, but an
orchardist adopting this method must be
prompt and resolute in thinning out his
trees. When the crop reaches about five or
six bushels to the trees. it is time to remove
every alternate row; and in about five years
more we must take out alternate trees In
the remaining rows. We then have left our
twenty-five standard trees to the acre, and
have taken off, meantime, enough choice
fruit to much more than cover every ex-
pense. Those who adopt this method some-
times prefer to have the trees which ere to
be removed something else than apples
either plums and cherries. or dwarf pears.
In my latitude find the early bearing,
short-lived Russian summer apples, especial
ly the yellow transparent, best. They be-
gin bearing quite freely within two OF three
years, and have seen their best days by the
time it ia necessary to remove them. Be-
tween the trees. one way, currants, goose
berries, and black-caps thrive, with no sp-
parent detriment to the trees. This is
great deal better than the old way, es-
pecially to those who have reached middle
age before beginning to plant, or to those
who need an immediate income from the
land. For the first five or six years dwarf
beans and peas, or strawberries, may be
successfully grown in the young orchard.
Liberal manuring and clean culture are es-
santia1
