And now it's England. A sugar
journal makes the statement that
" home grown sugar" is cry COM
ing to he heard more and more
among English agrIculturists. And
why not? Authorities seem to agree
that there is more money in sugar
beets than in wheat, and as crop
for rotation with the standard
cereals it is said to be the best ever
known. So it may not be long
before British sugar entirely of
home production is quoted in the
London markets.

American Shipping.

In the tariff act passed BY the first con-
gress the tonnage tax on foreign vessels
was more than eight times greater than
that imposed ON domestic tonnage. The
most serious obstacle to the rebuilding OF
our merchant marine is found in the
protective system of England as applied
to her shipping in the form of subsidies.
When this government Is wise enough to
meet the English in this particular and
give to our merchant marine bounty
for every league sailed or steamed in car
rying the United States mails, then, and
not till then, will it revive. The bounty
or subsidy should be sufficiently ample
to carry our mails and establish our trade
in every nook and corner of the earth.
The talk about the tariff destroying our
carrying trade is rubbish. Our carrying
trade today is 81 ,40o, 900, 900 annually.
In 1860 it was $500, ,000, 900, showing an
increase of over 300 per cent. since 1880.
1t is absurd to argue that we, who stand
pre-eminent for efficiency and cheapness
of our locomotives, cars and railroad
service generally, who have introduced
our types of stationary engines and
pumps into England, where they are
either purchased or built, retain our old
skill as sailors, and have the fastest and
best river and coastwise steamers in the
world, cannot build and sail the fastest
and best ocean steamers at the lowest
cost if our government extended the
same aid to our shipping which the mer-
chant marine of England received, and
which Germany, France, Spain, Italy
and Australia are now giving to their
shipping.

DURING the discussion of the Pension

DURING the discussion of the Pension
Appropriation bill in the House of Rep
resentatives recently, the ex-Confeder-
ates got off their customary chestnuts
about the enormous number of Yankee
soldiers they must have killed and
wounded to produce such an immense
pension list. "The bad taste of this"
says the National Tribune, sis simply
frightful. 1t is the last thing in the
world they should allude to. Heaven
knows, no people claiming to be civilized
ever inflicted so many wantOn barbarities
upon Union soldiers as the so-called
chivalry in their crusade for slavery.
If for the credit of the American name
the people of the North agree to forget
these enormeties, the late rebels should
not be those to awaken the frightful
memories of starvation in prison pens,
massacres in the field, and assassination
by stealth.

NATURE IN CONFUSION

Is terrified. Volcanic eruptions, cyclones,
earthquakes are awfully and tremendous
ly picturesque, but scarcely desirable to
emulate in action and effect by the ad-
ministration of remedies which produce
convulsion and agony in the abnormal
portion of the human frame. Such is the
effect of the old fashioned violent purga-
tives happily falling more and more into
disuse, and of which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the wholesome, pleasant and
far more effective succedaneum. They
weaken the intestines-the Bitters in
vigorates them. They left the bowels
inactive, because incapaciated by ensu-
ing feebleness. The Bitters, on the con-
trary, and because it enables, not forces,
them to -perpetuates their activity
and regularity. The liver is beneficially
stimulated, as the kidneys also are by this
medicine, which easily conquers, also, ma
lara, nervousness and rheumatism. 4 3 1t

ENTERING IN.

The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer;
Only the solemn trembling
OF the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet pale sunshine;
Within, the holy calm,
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open,
And little baby girl,
Brown eyed, with brown hair falling
In many wavy curl.
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Sly glances downward thrown,
And small hands clasped before her,
Stood in the aisle alone.
Stood half abashed, half frightened.
Unknowing where to go,
While like a wind rocked flower
Her form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color fiuttered
In the little troubled face,
As from side to side she wavered
Will mute, lnlpiOrlng grace
1t was but for moment;
What wonder that we smiled
By such strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiled?
Up then rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tender silence
He bore the child with him.
And l, wondered, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
If when some time l enter
The many mansions fair,
And stand abashed and dropping
In the portals golden glow,
Our God will send an angel
To show me where to go!

THE Supreme Court of Wisconsin has
decided that the Bible cannot be read in
the public schools without imparting
sectarian instruction, which would be
unconstitutional. The suit in question
was brought by Catholics, who objected
to the use of the King James version,
the version that they use being known
as the Dousy, and closely related to the
Latin Nulgate.

LITTLE Judith, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. Mullineaux, of the In
land ChTistiaR Adcocdte, Des Monies,
Iowa, on learning that her special play
mate, a child of her own age, had taken
the whooping cough, took bottle of
medicine, which had cured her of a
troublesome cough, and went over and
said: "Y Ou must take this medicine. 1t
will do you good" Mr.. Mullneaux was
curious as to the result and on making
inquiry learned that the little neighbOr,
who had been unable to rest at night,
had been greatly relieved in that respect.
The parOXysms were neither so frequent,
severe or enduring. The cough under
the general action of this admirable
remedy, was loosened. The medicine
liquefieS the mucuS and enables the
sufferer to throw it off. The attack in
the beginning gave every evidence of be-
ing severe attack of whoOping cough.
Indeed it was genuine case; but this
preparation, while perhaps it may not be
a positive cure for the disease, is un-
dOubtely able to alleviate it. If it does
not cure it, it will give unquestiOned re-
lief. The medicine referred tois Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. For sale by ]. B.

SOME DEMOCRATIC TREASURES
Cleveland Leader.
For twenty four years the Republican
party had charge of the national Treas
ury, duringa period when the revenues
were necessarily enormous and the op-
portunities for peculation correspond
ly great During the later years of that
period the Democrats continually insist
ed that a "change" was necessary in Or
that the "books might be opened" They
declared that the Republicans had been
robbing the Treasury and that the Dem
ocrats would prove it if they were al
lowed chance. Well, the chance came
at the election of 1884, and for four
years after Democratic committees and
experts worked over the Treasury books
to find and report the Republican ''steal-
ings." And what did they find? A
shortage of taOo cents in the accounts of
the Treasurer of the United StateSl-
That was the sum total of discrepancies
that four years of expert detective work
could discover!
Now let us see what the Democratic
treasurers have been doing in the past
few years. The national Treasury was
not entrusted to their charge long enough
to facilitate raid upon it, but good
many of the States have Democratic
Treasurers. How have they admins
tered their trusts? What did their books
show when opened? We are enabled to
reply to this very readily by list of de-
falcations by Democratic State Treasu-
rers published in the Philadelphia Press,
