1892. THE PROMISED LAND. 1892.

Lo as l scan the page of life
Through the dim mist of years,
A little venturous feet upon
troubled sea appears.
One stands upon the vessels prov,
Strong in his simple faith,
Eager to lead his chosen ones
TO victory or death.
Not with mean foe has he to fight,
Though weapon he has none:
"Tis his to conquer human doubt
Or die ere il was done.
'Tis his to breast the stormy wave,
Seeking an unknown shore,
Cheered only by the voice of Hope
Whom angry pillows roar.
His TO lead on hooking crew
Mid bitter SCOTS and jeers.
Calm and undaunted, till at last
The promised land appears.
Then his. with thanks to God most high,
A country fair to claim,
All honor to Columbus. bravel
All glory to his name!
o. voyager upon life's sea.
Fear not to hoist thy sail!
What though thy tiny craft be weak.
Thy Pilot can not fail.
What though the distant port be still
An undiscovered land
What though the sceptic SCOTS and sneers,
Like brave Columbus stand
Unwavering with steadfast eye
Fixed on the unseen goal!
Thou, too, shalt conquer; let no doubt
Dismay thine earnest soul!
The clouds of dark distrust will lift
When thou hast crossed ths wave;
And life's horizon thou shalt find
Not bounded by the grave.
Thou. too, shalt reach thy Promised Land,
And His great name adore,
Who guided thee DER lfe's rough sea
To Heavens peaceful shore.
Let not the infidel's short line
Set bounds for thy frail feet;
The circle is Gods measuring rod,
LIES orbit is complete.

EXPERIMENTS at the Wisconsin sta
ton show that the gooseberry mildew
is one of the easiest fungi to destroy.
The disease yields readily to copper So
buttons, which should be applied till the
fruit is half grown: after that the use
of potassium sulphide is more desirable.

In order that no one can possibly inpute
motive in this letter to any personality in
connection with the commission, desire to
state collectively and individually that |
never want to meet more atfable gentlemen.
This letter refers to them in their public
capacity alone, and the adjectives were
Intentionally made what might at first
appear unnecessarily strong or harsh in
some instances, in order especially to
arouse, not the opponents, but the adyo-
Gates OF the commission to the gravity of
the situation and compel them to consider
and study it. Respectfully

Who so Eats Meat Cannot Sing.

One whose business it has been to
find persons suited for vocalists says
he never loses his time looking for a
fine voice in a country where fish or
meat diet prevails. Vocal capacity
disappears in families as they grow
rich, because they eat more meat.
Those Italians who eat the most fish
(those of Naples and Genoa) have few
fine singers among them. The sweet
voices are found in Irish women OF
the country, and not of the towns.
Norway is not a country of singers,
because they eat too much fish but
Sweden is a country of grain and
song. The carnivorous birds croak
grain eating birds sing.-Musical MI

1T is estimated that the total ap-
propriations by the first session of
the fifty-second congress will foot up
$532, 8O4,679.91. The total appro-
priations of the first session of
the fifty first Cor "billion dol
larry congress were $463, 1898
51O.79, and this included a pension
deficiency of $25, 1921, 9O735, left it
by the previous Democratic congress-
The second session of the "billion
dollar" congress appropriated 1925
OILS, 672. 55. Therefore the first ses-
sion of this congress will exceed the
first session of the last congress
by $50, 4O6, 1892, and the second
session of the last congress by ST.
1856, OO7.26. These are the figures of
Mr.. Belzhoover, a Democratic con-
gresham from Pennsylvania, and
are verified by Mr.. Holman.

Gen. Lew Wallace,s Position.

Gen. Lew Wallace, the author of
Ben-Hur, a gallant soldier during the
war, and afterward honorably con-
nected with the diplomatic service, 10
a delegate to Minneapolis. In an in
terview published yesterday, he
said:
al won't stop to argue whether Mr..
Blaine meant what he.said in his let
ter of the 9th of February. He wrote
the letter and that should at least be
regarded as final. He madeit official.
TO that end he addressed it to the
Chairman of the National Republi-
can Committee. How extraordinary
that that chairman should now GO
gallivanting through the country
making assertions which, if true,
would cover the great secretary with
.dishonor! 1t is not needful to speak
of the propriety with which his chair
manship suggests; enough if we ask,
has the chairman any direct informa-
ton from Mr.. Blaine indicating re-
pentance for writing it? No! not a
word. Now to the application. The
fuss the cabal has created is unwor-
thy the serious attention of the con-
vention, which within an hour after
organization will discover that they
have two things to do quickly; first,
the nomination OF Mr.. Harrison to
succeed himself; next, the rescue OF
Mr.. Blaine from his personal
enemies"

They Don't Expect Much This Year

The exuberant delight of the Demo,
cratic bosses over the fact that q
Democratic Senator was elected last
week in one of the strongest Demo.
cratic districts in the state, shows
that they consider that their party
Is standing on a very rotten founda-
ton this year. No such vigorous
pesonal work was ever done by them
before at a special election and no
such sums Of money were ever spent;
and now they claim an unparalleled
victory, though the successful candi-
date falls considerably below the vote

much as if they didn't expect much
this year. Whitewater Register.

About Tin Plate.

It is safe to say that the issue of The
Scientific American of May % is not
q Democratic number. To place it in
the hands of the average Democrat
would have the effect of soaring him
out of his wits or infuriating him equal
to certain animal when red banker
chief is TAINTED before his face The
cause for all this lies in the fact that
The Scientific American, which is
authority in this country has seen fit
TO publish an interesting article upon
the Manufacture of Tin at st. Louis
and gives fine illustrations of the sheet
mill, view in the Timing house, picking
machine and agitator, annealing ovens
for the tin plates and the doubling and
shearing machine; "artists' proofs"
that the manufacture of tin at st. Louis
is no myth but veritable and substan-
tial fact. The st. Louis Stamping
company plant has been set in motion
at a cost of $4,000 and it is estimated
that it would require fifty of the estab-
lishm ents described by The Scientific
American to supply the tin plate de-
mand in this country. The doubling
Thomases among the Democrats who
view as fabulous that tin plate is or
can be made at all in the United States,
and this city contains not few of such
men, might as well come down like
David Crockett's coon, for the "world
do move" and the manufacture of tin
plate in this country is no longer a
mysticism, but an established branch
of industry that even Democrats will
be scrambling over one another before
long to foster and maintain, and swear
ing by all that is lovely that they were
never opposed to the manufacture of
tin in the United States.

EDITORIAL T

Gov. Fosters appointment of Mr.
Jas. C. Noise as Judge of the Criminal
District Court of New Orleans and of
Mr.. F. c. Zacharie, as Registrar of Vo-
tiers, seems to have raised a storm of
indignation in New Orleans and in
most part of the State. We cannot
say what motives actuated the Cover
nor in making these appointments,
but it is unfortunate for him that the
situation is such, that even if he has
acted from the purest of motives, it
will always be suspected, and, for that
matter. believed by many, that he has
only paid off these two men for their
services rendered on the Young Re-
turning Board. For the honor of the
State and the dignity of the office, it is
much to be regretted that Gov. Foster
has put himself in such an awkward
predicament.
If Messrs Noise and Zacbarie had
been true friends of the Governor, they
would not have insisted on being re-
warded with office.

ing extent in cotton and cane fields
and the planters have been powerless
to remedy the evil, owing to the wet
condition of the soil. The excess in
moisture has induced a too rapid
growth of cotton, which will fail to
fruit we'll in consequence, Unless a re-
turn to dry weather is soon experienced.
The cane crop is but half laid by, a
work which will not be satisfactorily
completed this season owing to the
tall growth of the stalk.
Small gardens have suffered severely
everywhere. especially in the vicinity
of New Orleans, where they are in
many places entirely under water.
The prevailing southeast wind impeded
the passage of the water from Lake
Ponchartrain in its natural outlet to
the Gulf, causing an overflow Of land
along the lake shore heretofore con
sidered above the weather line. For
the past two days, however, the winds
have been favorable, and the water Is
steadily falling.
No lasting damage is anticipated to
any crop from the unusual amount of
precipitation received unless such a
condition continues, but warm and

pensable or permanent injury will in
