ECHOES FROM THE OLD FARM.

When the crop is on the mssket and the cash
 Is in your sock, And you hear the clink and jingle of the key turned in the lock, Ard the clinking of the pennies" and the clanking of the "tens," And the grocery man is paid up and no mora his bill he sens: o, it's then's the time feler is a-feelin at his best, When he rises from his supper, then downward pulls his vest; And he smokes his pipe in comfort and then goes and winds the clock, When the crop is oh the market and the cash is in his sock. There's something kind O cheerful like about the farmers eyes When he knows the summers over and he doesn't have to rise About the time the daylights a-peepin' through the gloom, And work until the moons up mid the grain that's all in bloom; But instead he sorter calculates he'll hook his old Buck" and Jess" To his cutter tn the evenin', and put on his Sunday dress, Then go a-courtin' Lizer, with her apron and new frock, When the crop is on the market and the cash is in his sock. Oh, the huskin' and the spellin' bees-the win- ter's harmless fun; The raspin' of the fiddle when the dancin' is begun; The jingle of the sleigh bells, your best gal in the sled; The kissin' and the huggin' when the old folks are in bed; The roastin' of the chestnuts, the neighbors droppin' in; The eatin' of the apples dripkfn' cider from a tin. Oh, it sets my heart prancin', like struttin' turkey cock, When the crop is on the market and the cash is in the sock.

Windom Mementos,

The morbid curiosity of some people was shown in connection with the death of Secretary Windom at the board of trade dinner at Delmonico's. The menus, 300 of which had been printed for the occasion, cost the board just $60. The day following the dinner as much as $25 was offered for one, so great was the de- sire in certain quarters to secure some souvenir of the sad event. Half an hour after the assemblage had dispersed every scrap of paper, leaf and flower had been carried away. ...
 Manager Tillman, of Delmonico's, told me that the day following the banquet he was overrun with applications for menus.
 "We had dozen copies of Windom's speech for the newspapers" said a mem- Der of the board, "that cost us a few pennies to have struck off. We have received from one man $1O0 for one of the copies. We are now having printed a memorial of the sad affair for disuibu- tion among the members of the board. !"

THE POPE OF ROME A Correspondent Airs His
 Views On Matters Which Concern
 the ROmish Religion and Our InstitutiOn|The Attitude of the Church as
 He Sees It.
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.

Y ID HE REPUBLICAN,.
 The Pope at Rome on the twenty. seventh instant said that the Catholic, in America should have parochial schools in all parishes where it is possible. There can be no question about the intention of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church concerning our com mon school system. But before we Americans adopt their parochial, or sec tartan, school system, let us review the history of that vile and loathsome insti tuition, called the Roman Catholic Church. She has tied her votaries tc the dead past; she can find no congeniaI soil in which to flourish in the mind where science is rooted. She has beer perpetuated by despotic power; reason philosophy and science have always been her most hated and dangerous enemies In her opposition to them she has hesi, tated at no crime against humanity. The thumb-screw, the rack, the fagot, are her inventions, her contributions to science.
 It is said by Jesuites and priests that the Romish clergy are we'll educated in the sciences and philosophy of our times. If so, why is it that they keep their dupes in utter ignorance of all science ? Why are they so anxious to overthrow the public schools, where science is taught, and to establish in their stead their schools of theology, sophistry, non- sensense and superstition?
 Why do they profess to love republi- can institutions and at the same time exert all their power to crush Father McGlynn and his adherents for trying their best to perpetuate them?
 Why should good American citizens be read out of the Romish church for assert ing their citizenship, while editors of Catholic papers, openly denouncing liberty, can declare that the Inquisition is soon to be established in this country that is to have "far more glorious" rule than formerly in Europe, and that nothing could delight their Catholic souls so much as to see heritics writh- ing in the flames of the Inquisi- tion." When we declare that mo- ble, brave men in ali ages of the world have been found who dared stand up and declare their honest convictions, though death by torture awaited them, the Catholic priest points with derision at our paucity of numbers and with exultant pride at the millions of empty skulls that disgrace the bodies of those whom they have robbed of brains ren- dered incompetent to reason and think, and harnessed like dumb brutes to the car of superstition. I ask, fellow citi- zens, is it not high time we were be- stirring ourselves? Is it for this that America has extended her arms to the oppressed of all nations? Is it for this that she has exfranchised them and made them citizens? Has she not taken to her bosom and warmed to life viper

They are uniting to make this Christian Government. A Chris. tian Government derives it's power from God. It is a power assumed over the people, not receiving its authority from the people. Of this class are all despotic and kingly Governments. Russia is @ sample. All empires and kingdoms are samples. They differ from that of these United States in this: Their authority comes from God, while ours are delivered from the people.
 The people are the fountain of all au. thority. Here, authority is accountable to the people; there it is accountable to God and exists in defiance of the peo- pie. But as God cannot attend to these matters himself, all authority is dele. gated to men, and men never wield un. limited power for the general welfare the general welfare is always sacrificed to private gain and love of power. True, we have in the world what is called linn tied monarchy; but if monarchy is a good thing why limit it? If divine right to govern is a good thing, let us have full sway. If it is good thing for man partially to emancipate himself from the Divine Ruler, it is a much better thing to free himself entirely. So thought the founders of our republic {; therefore, they put an end to divine right and fearlessly declared that all just governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. "God" is, in itse.' very harmless word, for it only expresses an imagination of the brain. But God in the Constitution is quite another thing. It annihilates the difference between this government and the despotisms of the old world. It is the Trojan horse idea repeated. The horse as a God was very innocent. The conquering Trojans in triumph well comed him to theil city, but the legion of soldiers contained in his belly opened the gates of their city to the enemy, who sacked and destroyed it. Troy was no more. The enemies introduced by God in the Constitution will overthrow our liber- ties, destroy the Republic, and, per chance, light the fires of inquisition. Since we have been threatened it is we'll enough to be on guard. Had our Con- stitution been enforced from the first we should not now be menaced by danger. The Constitution provides that no one holding allegiance to an any for eign potentate or power can become a citizen of the United States, The Pope of Rome is foreign potentate and is very formidable power. The Constitution should be enforced against him and all his insolent enemies. Lafayette de- clared that if ever American liberty was overthrown it would be done by the in- trigues of the Catholic priesthood. La fayette was no stranger to Rome and knew we'll what he was talking about. Americans, be on your guard.

An Unfortunate Woman.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 2.-About 4 o'clock this morning, a white baby boy four weeks old was found by the police on the porch of Mrs. T. C. Tyler. Shortly afterwards the police arrested a man and woman at the depot and the woman acknowledged that the aband- oned baby was her child and the man with her it's father. She is young, good looking and gives every evidence of in- telligence and cultivation. She was married, but after six months was lett a widow. She then went to live at the home of her sister in a small town be- tween Mobile and Montgomery. While an inmate of her sisters home she be- came intimate with her sisters husband and when the guilty couple found that their sin would be discovered the woman left and worked for some months in Alabama insane hospital at Tuscaloosa. When her condition became such that she could not longer remain, she came here, where the child was born. Father, mother and babe are now in custody at police headquarters.

cultivation of sugar beets in Arizona are free from taxation for twenty years.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre semi-annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine; but s5 per ton is the average price in California.
 Sugar beets require neither btgging nor storage, but are cash dt the mill.
 It is a matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets extract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be re- duced into the better for the producer. Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of one hundred tons per day, at S5 per ton for sugar beets, would be great benefit to the farmers and merchants of Arizona.

THE SUGAR BEET. Colonel Poston Gives Some Valuable Points On Its Production in Arizona
 and Cost. The Proper Time to Plant the Beets. Character of Soil Necessary
 Therefor.
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN.
 I condense for the benefit of your readers some official information on the cultivation of sugar beets. As a result of many years of careful experimenta. tion, it may be said that as far as tenn perature alone is concerned the sugar beet attains it's greatest perfection in a zone of varying width through the cen- ter of which passes the isothermal line of 70 degrees farenheit for the months of June, July and August.
 The isothermal line laid down by the Department of Agricultural as adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets is 100 miles wide and passes through Arizona at the intersection of the l05th degree west longitude with the 32d degree lati- tude north. Extending a distance of 100 miles on each side of this isothermal line is belt which, for the present, may be regarded as the beet sugar area of the United States. There are doubtless many localities lying outside of this belt, both north and south, in which the sugar beet will be found to thrive; but this will be due to some exceptional qualities of the climate or soil and not to any favorable influence of higher or lower tempera- ture. A mean temperature of 70 de- grees farenheit in the summer, however, must not be regarded as the only ele- ment of temperature which is to be taken into consideration. In those localities where the winters come early and are of unusual severity will be found greater difficulties in the production of sugar from the sugar beet than in those localities where the winters are light and mild, although the mean summer temperature of both localities may be represented by 70 degrees farenheit.
 SOIL.
 The sugar beet does not require a par ticular kind of soil for its proper pro- duction. In general, soils are described for practical purposes as clayey, sandy, loamy or alluvial soils; all of these soils will produce beets. The black prairie soils also have been found, with proper cultivation, to produce excellent beets. Generally, the least favorable soils for the sugar beet are stiff clay, which is cultivated with difficulty and readily packs under the influence of hard rains and hot suns, and virgin soils or those especially rich in organic matter or al- kaline salts. Perhaps the best soil may be described as @ sandy loam; soil containing happy equilibrium between organic matters, clay and silica.
 In general it may be said that any soil which will produce a good crop of Indian corn, wheat or potatoes will, un- der proper cultivation, produce good scrop of sugar beets. The soil on which sugar beets are grown, however, should be reasonably level, and this being the case it should be well drained. Natural drainage on level soil being somewhat deficient, it is most imperative that tile ..n
