The lecturer of the national grange
comes to the defense of the United
States department of agriculture in gal
liant style. He reminds cavilers of the
benefits this department has conferred
on American farmers and stock raisers.
and enumerates some of them as follows:
First-It has stamped out pleuro-pn eumonia
among our cattle, and by wise legislation it
asked Of congress Is compelling foreign nations
TO admit that our beef is healthy, and, there
fore, forces them to remove their "restric-
tions" and opens up our markets abroad. The
same system of inspection is doing and will con-
tinue to do the same for our pork and hog
products.
Second-ft imported the little parasite that
has destroyed the cottony scale insect that was
killing the orange and lemon trees Of Califor-
mia, and that was destroying millions of dol
lars of capital invested in groves, and has stim-
ulated new planting Of hundreds of thousands
of trees, and millions of dollars will DO the an
nual reward to farmers on this count.
Third-lts Investigations, covering several
years and the most patient and persistent
labor, into the peach ycllows," that is threat
ening another great industry in several states,
where millions OF dollars are again ut stake,
already give promise Of success.
Fourth-Through the department of agri-
culture came the instructions and formulas of
spraying out fruit trees and vines to save them
from insects, blights, mildew, scabs, rot, etc.
IL was worth millions Of dollars to the grape
crop this year, and has raised the hopes of
thousands OF despondent grape growers, and
the careful orchardist can now gather his
apples and pears, beautiful in form and color,
and no longer marred by rust and insects.

Educating Americans,

Foreign scientific men note particular
ly the want of thoroughness in American
education. The truth is we have had 80
much to do in America and 80 short
period in which to do it that we have not
had time for thorough preparation in
either scientific or mechanical work.
The foreigner says that while we are
wonderfully talented naturally we fail
when we go to undertake things requir-
ing mechanical or scientific skill from
want of preparation, partly in book
knowledge, partly in manual training.
The charge cannot be put aside either as
wholly coming from foreign jealousy.
In England what is called the extern
sion of university education has been de-
vised to meet the wants of persons who
cannot attend school, but who have some
leisure to study at home. In America
the Chsutauqua system of instruction
meets the same need to a certain extent.
But the Chautauqua system does make
specialists.
The question is, Why cannot our uni
versities and colleges prepare system
by which earnest students may study at
home under the direction of professors in
each branch and get good education in
special branches? Nobody ought to work
with his hands till he is so tired that he
can do nothing but sink into slumber
like an OK. The Almighty never meant
it. The farm boy, the factory worker,
the mechanic's apprentice ought to carry
along with his manual work at least one
branch of literary or scientific study.
He should think carefully over what he
would best like to do in the world, and
then select course of study that will
lead up to it.
1t was thus that DR.. Schliemann
learned languages and ancient history;
thus he prepared to be the great ex-
plorer and arch@olog:st. While an
elrand boy in n wholesale store he pre-
pared for future greatness and wealth
Our universities and higher schools do
not begin to do the good they ought
They are not in touch at all with the
whole people. They ought to extend
their work far beyond their own walls,
ought to DO their part toward supplying
the defective education which persons
forced out to wrestle with material
things at an early age Were obliged to
put up with. On the other hand, it
should be borne in mind by all men and
women that anybody, at any age, can
learn anything he sets his heart on.

Electricity's Limitations.

1t is time worn story that just about
the time steam was adapted to the pro-
pulsion of ocean ships the eminent phys
icist, DR.. Lardner, wrote an elaborate
and learned treatise to prove that steam
could never by any possibility drive a
vessel across the ocean. Perhaps that
will be the fate of scientific writer of
our own time who has published lately
his reasons why electricity can never be
used as the motive power for long dis
lance railroads.
1t will be well adapted to street rail-
ways, because here it will be cheaper
than horse power. The power stations
and dynamos necessary to utilize it can
be near enough together to make it an
easy matter to keep the electrical cars
running. But when it comes to long
distance lines the case is wholly differ
ent. At intervals of every few miles it
will be necessary to erect costly power
stations and dynanos. These must be
of such a character as to develop many
hundred times the power required to op-
crate street railways. They would there
fore be vastly more expensive than the
steam locomotive engines at present in
use. The railroad companies of the pres
snt day are not flinging millions abroad
n dividends, as is we'll known, and the
matter of the added expense would offer
IN insuperable objection.
There is another equally great. 1t is
veil known that electric currents are
@kittle cattle to drive" No method has
IS yet been invented to make even an
lectric light burn steadily five consecu-
i've minutes at time. II the electric
node of propulsion were adopted there
would be frequent "stoppages of the en-
ire traffic for periods varying from five
minutes to several hours" In case of
Dng distance railway trains the public
ould not put up with this one day. The
bjection, however, only shows that cleo
rical transmission of power has not yet
zen perfected.
Finally the writer in question reminds
lis readers of a universal mistake in the
,opular mind in regard to electricity 1t
not, as is supposed, source of I'M
united power in and of itself. 1t is
acrely manifestation of energy, a CON
snient way of applying power previous
Yproduced. The radiant energy of the
nm stored up in coal is transformed into
over through the steam engine. That
pwer is merely transmitted along the
iectric wire TO the point where it is
stilized.

Somebody has solemnly suggested that
the perfect newspaper ought to be en-
dowed, in order that it might have
money enough to get as editors "men
who will make ideally pure. wholesome
and able newspapers" Great Scottl
Would you add the newspapers to the
awfully heavily, stupid old endowed in
stitutions of the country? If so, then
you ought at the same time to pay the
public for reading them, for it won't
read them any other way, A newspaper
that cannot earn its own living and pay
dividends besides ought to die, and that
quickly. Besides, let us whisper this in
your ear. Oh, solemn and heavy old
theoristl The newspaper of the day re-
fleets exactly the public that makes it,
and is at all times just as ideally pure"
as it dares to be. Every newspaper ed
itor prefers to be honest and tell the
truth and puncture shams and cant, so
far as the community will allow it.

A Trades Union Collapse.

If there was any spot on the globe
where labor unions had things all their
own way that spot was Australia.
Workingmen of all grades were so banded
together that it was thought they could
effect revolution of government and
society if they 50 willed. They had the
eight hour labor day, and laborers re-
oeived their own prices. In the sheep
Kissing and agricultural districts not
enough workingmen could be obtained to
mn the demand. In brief, here if any
where labor had opportunity to measure
itself with capital and come off best
The utter collapse of the great laber
strike of last fall, however, proves that
when labor, even rs capital itself, be-
comes unjust or tyrannous in the public
Judgment, then trades unions themselves
must fail. Mr.. II. II. Champion, writing
IN the Nineteenth Century of the fail
ure of the Australian strike, says it fell
through because those who engaged in it
were an army of lions led by asses.
The trades unions were down 80 fine
that there was even a sheep shearers' or
ganization. When sheep owners vent
tured to employ shearers who did not
belong to this organization the federated
unions determined to boycott non-union
wool. Men of the maritime unions were
ordered not to convey away any wool
that had not the union stamp upon the
bales. Next the members of ship Of
ficers' organization wanted higher pay,
and the seamen and dock laborers were
therefore ordered not to work any more
till the demand was granted. The net
work extended throughout Australia,
and the maritime trade of all the ports
was stopped. If ships could not be load
ed or unloaded, of course the coal sup
ply of cities that received their fuel by
water was cut off. Gas stokers refused
to handle non-union coal, and at length
Melbourne itself was left almost un-
lighted for two nights.
Then capital rose in indignation and
took things into its own hands. EN-
ployers banded themselves together with
oaths as strong as those in vogue among
the workingmen's unions. The cup of
wrath was full when the unions at
tempted to destroy the wool crop of 1890
by refusing to let it be sheared. The
wool crop was worth 500, 100000. The
capitalists organized with a defense
fund of $2,OOO,0O0. They had besides a
steady income annually of $4OO, 900.
The trades unions all together had no
such money as this. Well, men must
live, so must women and children. In
this case the longest purse was thor
oughly convinced thatit had right on its
side, and made more spirited fight for
that reason. The end was that the strike
of all the trades unions in Australia col
lapsed utterly, and the long purse won.
