1R. Dr VERDI. an ex-barber of Washington

Mr.. DI VERDI an ex-barber Of Washington
has been knighted by King Humbert because
he so bitterly denounced the people of New
Orleans for summarily executing the Malta
murderers in that city. If the Italian mon
arch thinks that denuncistion of American
citizens because they see fit to protect them
selves against foreign-born assassins is an act
worthy of being rewarded with distinguished
honors at his hands, he should by all means
see TO it that all his subjects in the United
States lie forthwith recalled home; and Con-
gress should also see to ii that no more such
disorderly and dangerous characters be per-
mitted to carry out their murderous plots and
conspiracies under the protection Of our flag
and laws.

Good Advice to Negroes.


The negro maniscs should read the papers
read before the Mohonk Conference. There
educated negroes met those who are engaged
in teaching their race IN the South They
realize that the tax paid by the white man
sustains their schools and makes 1t possible TO
elevate their race. This body OF negroes
were not under shotgun rule. They were

THERE is TO be an exhibition of two me-
chanical cotton-pickers at the Piedmont tx
position in Atlanta this fall, and each claims
to have solved the long discussed problem Of
picking cotton by machinery. If the claim
turns out to be true a revolution in Southern
cotton cultivation will be made and the
planter will be relieved of one Of his greatest
embarrassments-th difficulty of securing
competent labor. On this subject the Atlanta
Constitution says: THE time has almost
come when the cotton crop is too large 20 be
picked by hand. 1t is increasing faster than
the pickers and every fall it is harder to get
hands. The consumption until this year has
kept pretty close to the crop, and the chances
are that by the time we make crop of 90
0oO, 900 bales the world will be ready to take
IT, Cotton is entering more into mixed fabrics
bach year, and the present low price will
kimulate that branch of the industry. The
tses of cotton may be few and simple com
sarsd TO what they will be a few years hence.

Fishing for Turtle.
Industrial Journal

Terrapin or turtle farms are run in the
South and on the Pacific coast, but the bust
ness has only been tried in New England as
an experiment. As experiments. many of
these have been failures, so far as money
making basis is concerned. and are now
kept up for the pleasure of the owner. or by
some hotel keeper who takes pride In serv-
ing turtle soup unadulterated.
In Cumberland. r. L., there is small pond
that is well stocked with this toothsome food
animal. 1t is small sheet of water, cover
ing about an acre, and located near Diamond
Hill. This small pond is fairly alive with
the hard shelled monsters, and many an
hours sport is found upon the banks. The
pond is surrounded by a meadow, and an
early visit. while the dew is still on the grass
shows innumerable small paths where the
turtles have been walking for exercise and
In searth of food during the night.
While there is great amount of pleasure
in eating turtle soup, there is an equal
amount in catching the "critter:" During
has returned from his walk Is the best time
to fish for him. This may seem strange,
but fishing for them is the only method used
here to capture them. They will be motion
less near the surface, their great heads stick
ing out Of the water like the end of a big
stick. If fly or ID bug falls into the water,
down goes the turtle, and in an instant it has
a luscious morsel. An earthworm is desir-
able feast for turtle and these are generally
used for bait The tackle is very primitive,
and consists Of strong line and a Goldfish
hook. Bait the hook with large bunch Of
worms, and throw in where the turtle was
last seen, or If its head Is out of water, throw
the bait directly in front of it. The bite is
very easy, and when short pull on the line
communicates the fact to the angler that
turtle is at the other end, he must act care
fully and quickly. A sharp jerk will general
ly fasten the hook into the horny mouth. and
then the fun begins, especially If the turtle
to the turtle and another thing to land 1t
safely. The chances are generally in favor
OF the turtle If novice is at one end of the
line, and an expert fares but little better If
the turtle happens to take the bait near the
bottom. The great secret in the landing of
the game is to keep it from the bottom. AS
soon as the turtle Fl nds itself hooked itmakes
for the soft mud on the bottom, and is as
safe there as covey of birds which takes
to the swamp for protection when pursued
by the hunter.
The novice will invariably try to land his
first turtle by pulling in the line hand over
hand. By the time 10 feet of the line is in
there is strong pull as If a snag had been
struck, and it generally proves to be a snag.
The turtle sinks into the mud, and it is al
to land the game is to. take the line over
your shoulder as soon as you feel the strike,
and run as fast as possible. As long as the
turtle is kept in the water and on the jump
you are sure of the game. AS soon as it is
landed 1t is killed by shooting 1t in the head.

cause moral reform society based on the
temperance pledge, ought not to ally itself
with any political party whatsoever. The
harm to the temperance cause, and to other
reforms sought to be advanced by woman's

has been even greater and more far reach

One feature of your letter affords me some
satisfaction. Not one reason do you give
why partisanship in temperance effort is bet
ter than n-partisanship effort; not once
do you show the fallacy Of my teachings;
show that am In consistent with myself;
that am not actutated by pure motives in
my political work that l am in fact Judas.
Well, II were all these. what then? Would
the truths teach be overthrown with my
downfall? Certainly not.
THE FACT REMAINS,
that every line Of temperance legislation
since Prohibition in Maine more than thirty
years ago, to the
ORIGINAL PACKAGE LAW
enacted by the present Congress. has been
secured through nOn-partisan methods the
very ones advocate.
My dear sir,--whom once | was proud to
call my friend-your insinuations of evil,
your direct charges wrong doing in me, but
make your poverty of argument on the main
question all the more conspicuous. In hui
mility quote the words of my Divine Mas
ter, whose am and whom l serve, IF
have spoken evil bear Witnessed the evil;
but If well why smitest thou me?"
In general politics, am proud to say,
lama REPUBLICAN,;
to be in the ranks of those who have stood
for three decades in the van of every social,
moral, economic. and political reform, which
has blessed the Nation, count greater hon
or than to be the patron saint Of squad OF
political dynamiters, who carry banners in
scrlbed with the legends of holy cause, but
whose greatest vic tories are the political
destruction of the men who have most helped
the temperance cause.
AS look over the present
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
and count the good temperance men, who
have stood at home and in the National
Congress, In active service of every righteous
cause, and know that many of them were de-
feated at the late election because so-called
prOhibltiOnists refused to sustain them by
their votes, and know also that their seats
will be filled by men who will vote NO on
every temperance issue, then, indeed. am
glad do not serve that incendiary party,
but on the contrary that am Republican.
My acceptance of Republican principles
began as soon as knew those principles and
continues to the present time.
My devotion to the party-as whole-is
| limited only by the imperfections which at
tach to all human effort, and the deviations
from recognized standards, which are un-
avoidable in large associate bodies. OF the
| quality of my work l have nothing to say.
| The record has been made; it is being made
| day by day.

sort it is. In humble fealty to the truth as /
