The greatest sufferers from the
obstinate drouth are the poor cattle.
All the creeks, ponds, etc., that
have always had a supply of fine
running water are dry, save now
and then a puddle. The water in
this is dirty and impure, and the
ground around it is very boggy, and
when the cattle come to drink it is
great effort to reach the water
and a greater one to ge: out of the
bog. In. many instances 1t takes
hours to get.ont, and when done the.
poor cattle are exhausted, and no
doubt many die. Now, 1t seems 10
US that this state of things could be
remedied at slight cost, and by the
saving Of cattle would be paying
and wise investment. II rs simply
TO have small windmill and well
in every pasture. 1t would not re-
quire a great depth to secure con
slant flow, and it should be DONE.

A Psychological Study.

Something like twenty years ago
negro boy was born on one of the
Sea islands off the South Carolina
coast. A human being more stupid,
to have at the same time good sense,
could scarcely be imagined than this
black boy apparently was. He
seemed as he grew into his teens to
be absolutely too dull to talk. He
could not understand direction
that was given to him fit contained
more than o few Words.s4Yet this
boy, Tony Hamilton. has lived to set
at naught most of the theories about
human education and training. He
seems almost to prove that there is
an underlying natural sense or facul.
ty in particular directions that is
either above or below all the sum of
human education and instructions
that can be poured into children. At
any rate the faculty displayed by
Hamilton, whatever it is, is outside
of all human training. That much
is certain.
When Hamilton was old enough
to work he shipped oD steamer that
made a trip from a South Carolina
port to New York. The captain of
this steamer sent the boy to friend
Of his, a horse trainer, Mr.. William
Lakeland, telling him that Tony
liked horses and wanted employment
to work among them. Something
was found for him to DO. But he
had no companions, never seemed to ]
talk to anybody unless it was to the
horses among which he spent his
time. He did what "Mr. Billy" told
him to do and kept his mouth shut.
After while, nobody knows how,
Hamilton seemed all at once to be a
rider for horses in a race. First
stable owner offered $4,000 a year.
Then the late Senator Hearst offer.
$6, 600 a year. The strange boy
would not make the change until he
consulted Mr.. Billy. Next August
Belmont ATTEMPTED to get the boy for
year. Once Mr.. Billy told
him to take it and he did so. This
contract is still operative, and Hams
ilton is the most celebrated jockey
in America. He earns as much more
riding outside horses, SO That this
colored boy, who to all who attempt
to talk to him seems to scarcely COM
prehend the commonest English, has
of $4,000 a year, "and
gets rid Of the money as though he
fonnd it in the road" At the same
time there are hundreds Of thousand
Of doctors, lawyers, ministers, teach,
ers aud college graduates who would
be only 100 glad to get as many hun.
dreds year as Hamilton does thou

bishop Turner's Views.

Bishop Henry NJ. Turner, the first
colored minister ever commissioned
"a chaplain by President Lincoln,
says further in regard to his plan
for the removing of his people to
Africa: There are 100000 Congo
negroes in this countryside most
inferior type of the African race
who ought to remain here forever,
and it is this inferior type of negro
that is keeping the better and nobler
specimens Of the African races in the
dust Of degradation.
1T the thinking men of nv race
could see as | do they would de-
mand Of Congress an appropria-
tion of $500,000,000 to put a line
of steamers between here aud At
RIGA which would carry the self.
reliant negro TO the land of his
fathers. Hundreds are ready to go.
If the Southern States had good
sense they would utilize the negro
by establishing steamship line be-
tween there and Africa, and bring
African products to New Orleans,
Charleston and other seaport towns.
IF Europe can keep S265 mer-
chant ships hngging the shores sof
Africa all the year round, and Liver
pool alone can maintain forty-eight
steamships for this purpose, this ma.
tioa ought 10 keep 500 merchant
ships between here and Africa, and
bearing the wealth oe that giant
continent into this nation, and at
the same time help the negro to a
state of civilization and Christian
enlightenment"

Robinson-Dalzell discussions sound
like the prattling in kindergarten.
Mr.. Robinson, as president of the
league, will be expected to have the
members in line next November, solid
for the whole ticket. He has promised
to do this and his record of the past
leaves no room for suspicion that he
will not. Dalzell has also pledged
himself for the ticket and, of course,
this ia taken as assurance that his
friends will do likewise. Thus the
Republican party presents solid front
and with energetic work the state
ticket can be. elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

GET READY.

Now let the Republicans get together
md work for the success of the ticket.
@i3 admitted on all sides that too
much attention has been given to the
league fight and work for the ticket
nominated at the state convention
cannot be pushed too vigorously.
Pennsylvania returns this year will
be taken as an indication of what may
be expected in the presidential cam
paign, so let all Republicans prepare to
show the enemy that the old Keystone
state is still true to the cause of good
government. The league fight is over
and it will be policy to let the matter
drop. People who hint that the re-
suit will jeopardize the state ticket
will do we'll to change the subject and
not place themselves in a ridiculous
position. There are many Republi-
can clubs in the state and their rolls
bear the names of thousands of Re-
publicans, but it must be remembered
that there are many thousands of
Republicans who are not members Of
\ h organizations and to them the
