My mind also runs back to one Of the best
of early homes. Prayer like a roof over it.
Peace, like an atmosphere in it. Parents
personihcations of faith in trial and comfort
in darkness. The two pillars Of that earthly
home long ago crumbled into dust. But
shall,I ever forget that early homel Yes,
when the flower forgets the sun that warmed
it. Yes. when the mariner forgets the star
that guided him. Yes. when love has gone
out on the hearts altar, and memory has
emptied its urn into foEgetfulness. Then the
home Of my childhood, win forget thee;
the family altar of fathers Importantly
and a mothers tenderness, the voices of affec-
ton, the funerals Of our dead, father and
mother with interlocked arms like intertwin-
ing branches of trees making a paternal
arbor Of peace and kindness-then l will
forget thee-then, and then only.
Gates Of pearl, capstones of amethysts,
thrones Of dominion do not stir my soul so
much as the thought Of home. Once there,
let earthly sorrows howl like storms and roll
like seas Homel Let thrones rot and en-
pires wither Homel Let the world die in
earthquakes struggle and be buried amid pro
cession Of planets and dirgo of atmospheres.
Homel Let everlasting ages roll in irresist-
ible sweep. Homel Nosorrow. No crying.
No tears. No death. But home, sweet home,
beautiful home, everlasting home, home with
each other, home with angels, home with

ONE of the many humorous features
Of the protectionist campaign is the bill
introduced by Congressman Funston Of
Kansas, appropriating $3.50, 900 for a
national agricultural laboratory, which is
to be a sort Of annex Of the Agricultural
Department. One or more farmers from
each state are to be educated in this
laboratory in the production of beet
sugar. Mr. Funston does not explain
and it is highly probable that lac does
not know why the United States should
carry on beet sugar school
He falls into saccharine state
of uncrystaline crudeness by con-
Tossing that the educational work pro-
posed would be mere blind experiment.
I'VE do not know how to 60 about the
work of producing sugar beets in the
irst place. he admitted, ''nor Of con
verting them into sugar In the second
place. The young farmers cannot be
educated in beet sugar culture until
there is somebody to educate them. The
experimenters themselves do not know
anything about the beet sugar produc-
ton, and they cannot teach the farmers
an art which they have not learned them
selves, but still the enthusiastic Funston
imagines that the United States would
be making a great advance in CONNER
cial supremacy by spending $3.50, 900 in
experimenting with the education Of the
farmers in the culture Of the sugar beet.
This gentle Kansan zephyr Of ignorant
innocence does not seem to have been
struck by a commonsense thought II
seems not to have occurred to him
that If the cultivation Of the sugar
beet can be made to thrive in this
country, private skill and enterprise
are sufficient for the purpose.
The Government has no call to inter-
fere in the matter. The crop Of, experts
costly and useless expert
ments win not fail as long as the appro-
priations hold out. They need no more
encouragement from the 20 vernment.
The government might as well attempt
to set up and maintain a school of mil
linery or cooking school as a school
for experimenting in sugar beet science.

per In other words, each person interview
ed stated that he would exclude all matter
which did not interest him. The result, says
q writer in America, is that a paper pro

would somewhat resemble the average daily,

fault with our papers lies not so much with
the publishers as with the readers. If the

evening last, by the Choral Society. The
board OF directors of the society
engaged the room for q meeting last
evening from the committee. whom they
supposed to be honorable men one of whom
said, not long before the time fixed for
the society's meeting, that 'evervthino
WAS all right, and that the room would
be in readiness for them. About fiftv
members Of the society gathered at the
old Court House doors, only to find that
the place was dark and the doors locked.
After shivering in the cold for awhile. the
ladies and most OF the gentlemen went to
their homes. The members of the board
of directors are gentlemen who have not
been accustomed to dealing with such
trifing and frail business men as this
committee. The affair has created more
than passing comment and will not
soon be forgotten. 1t is only after much
persuasion that the names Of the mem
bers of this committee, who have caused
a stencil to lie upon the whole company
are withheld until that body sees tit to
make some kind Of an explanation.
After the lockout the directors pro-
ceeded to the X. of p. Hall where they
engaged rooms from the managers of the
X. Of P. Dancing Academy, which are
much more comfortable and convenient
for the society's purposes, and are also
rented at much more reasonable rates
than the Court House auditorium could
be had. The society will therefore meet
in the second story of the X. of P. Hall

large attendance is expected.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
No Rival In cotton.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
A good deal of noise Is now being made
in England over the Egyptian cotton
crop. and the claim is again put forward
that Egypt will be eventually able to
supplant the United States to large ex-
tent. IL has been the dream of the
British weaver to be free from dependence
upon the United States, but this is a
consummation, however devoutly 1t may
be wished, not likely to happen.
The cotton industry of Egypt, as well
as that of India, was stimulated into life
during the great cotton famine of 1861
65, produced by .the American civil war.
For while the English manufacturers
hoped that Egypt and India would per-
manently take the place of this country,
but as soon as the Southern states began
to recover from the effects of the civil
war, they reasserted their supremacy in
the cotton markets of the world, and
now the mills of Great Britain and the
European Continent are more slavishly
dependent upon the United States than
they were before 1851.
IL fact, the cotton yield of Egypt has
not in recent years at all kept pace with
that of the United States. In Egypt it
is not increasing. as for fifteen years 1t
has been In the neighborhood Of 400, 900
bales annually, sometimes little more,
sometimes little less, but, on the whole,
neither gaining nor losing. During
fifteen years our crop has increased from
$500, 900 bales to $500, 900 bales, nearly
doubling. The Egyptian bale weighs
$50 pounds. ours 300, and, therefore,
according to our weights the Egyptian
yield is 600, 900 bales annually, or less
than 10 per cent. of our own, while it
was formerly fully 90 per cent.
There are lands elsewhere as we'll
adapted to cotton raising as those OF the
United States, but the superiority of our
population gives us an immense advan,
tage over other Southern countries.
Elsewhere, except In a few parts of India,
in which it is directed by the English,
the culture Is conducted In the most
primitive manner. We are abundantly
supplied with railroads and steamboats,
for carrying the produce to market.
while our rivals have but few or none.
In fact, our methods of handling are far
superior, and we possess all the advan-
tages which the industrial methods of a
civilized people have over those of a semi
civilized.
For these reasons the United States
cannot greatly fear competition of other
countries in cotton-raising until the
population of her attempted rivals
reaches the standard of her own, and
that, If 1t ever occurs, cannot be for a
very long time yet.
