PITTSBURG, Aug l3.-Ihere was little

side to the controversy displaying much
activity. Carnegie's Thirty third street

men remained as firm as ever. The Beaver

and no sign of resumption of work is TO be
seen there. Vlce-chairman Leishmau, of
the Carnegie company, speaking of the

dissatisfied with the location of these

on our property at Homestead, the Beaver

STORING manure under cover has
one thing to recommend that the
practice that we have never seen
spoken Of This is that the manure
is dry and SO easily handled with
little labor at any season. We often
see farmers carting out heavy, wet
manure, requiring severe labor in
handling, necessitating hauling small
loads, and, unlesss the ground is
very dry, making deep rrts, which
are a serious injury, especially on
meadow land. The covered barn
yard may not commend itself to ev-
cry farmer, but a covered manure
shed can hardly fail to do SO after il
has once been tried. 1t is a saving
in many ways beside this of labor.

AGRICULTURAL.

SOUND seed is the first thing nee
essary for good crop of corr, and
it will soon be time to select it for
next season. Go through the field
as soon as the crop begins to ripen
and choose the ears that ii pen first.
Take into consideration the size OF
the ear, the size of the stalk, and,
in fact, all the things that combined
would make both stalk and ear
representative OF what you desire to
have in your whole field. Select
also such ears as have deep kernel
and small cob, and get them, il
you can, from stalks that have two
good ears. Do not leave the Sc
lected ears exposed to storms after
they are ripe, but place away where
they will be dry and secure.

1t is desirable that children who
are born aud raised upon the farm
should receive such impressions of
farm life as will make it seem desir-
able as an occupation for their ma
ture years. If parents wish to ac-
complish this end they must educate
their children to take an intelligent
interest in their surroundings, and
not make the home and the farm
merely round OF labor. If they

taught to take an interest in the

are then given something to call

In farming it will never do for a
man to count on his ''luck" helping
him through. Luck will not make
the soil rich nor keep down weeds,
nor do away with insects and dis.
ease. ltrequires steady, intelligent,
well-directed labor and increasing
care to wrest any profit from the
cultivation of the soil; but when
these are given, it is pleasant to
note, there is about as slight a
chance tor failure as is in any occu>
patton to which we might turn our
hands. Never trust to luck, but
endeavor to compel success by first
deserving it, and it is pretty sure to
come.

WE are sorry to see the statement
cropping out again in some of our
exchanges that bees puncture grapes
in order to get at the juices. 1t has
been demonstrated by the most
careful experiments that this is not
true, and that the bees only come
to the fruit after it has been pune
tured by birds or otherwise injured.
One OF the most successful bee keep
ers who conducts a vineyard and an
apiary together, having the stands
OF bees each sheltered by a grape
vine, with no injury to either. Bee
keering should be encouraged
among our farmers, ard especially
among the growers of small fruits,
who will find that it combines ex-
cellently with their other work.

Tools and implements which are
left exposed to the hot sun in sum,
mer are often injured more than
they would by the inclement weather
at other seasons. The wooden por-
lions, becoming very dry, shrink,
crack and warp, and the entire i'm
plement becomes loose and shaky.
The hurry of harvest should not be
an excuse for leaving any nipple
ments IN the field. If you do leave
them unprotected in this way it will
cost more to repair the neglect than
you have earned by having a little
more time at your disposal. Good
farmers look after their tools as
carefully as after their crops OF
stock.

From Fort Payne Journal.
THE SOUTH,S NEED.

"i'Hih the past -FOUR years there
have doubtless been brought into
and spent in DeKalb fifty dollars
per head for every man, woman and
child In the county. This is the
maximum amount of circulation de-
manded by the Ocala platform. The
Journal doubts whether orsnot there
is now In the county ten dollars per
head IN currency. Why is this and
where has the money gone?
1t seems to be law as imEutable
as the law of gravity that when a
dollar is planted in the South. no
sooner is it turned loose than it
takes its way back whence it come.
The disposition of water to flow
down hill is not more m accordance
with the law OF nature than is the
disposition of money turned loose in
this section to flow back North. in
accordance with the financial policy
of the county.
Three causes tend to produce this
condition, pension extravaganza, the
present tariff and the failure of the
South to produce a suficiency of
food crops.
All just and fair men recognize
the correctness OF the proposition
that it is the duty of Government TO
provide for its disabled and depend
ent veterans who so gladly risked
their lives in its defense. No sane
man denies this, but neither will
any sane man deny that under the
present loose and dishonest manage
ment of the pension bureau the Gov
eminent is annually robbed of mil,
lions of dollars which are paid out
to those not legally entitled thereto.
There are two reasons why We
may not expect for this great wrong
to be remedied soon. One is that
the money must be spent in order
to make excuse tor the present high
tariff, and the other is that it impov-
ishes the South and enrickes the
North.
10 the financial depletion of the
South, it is demonstrable fact that
the entire cotton crop of this coun-
try, and this is our only money crop,
will not pay tor the corn, hay, -four,
meat and lard raised elsewhere and
brought and consumed in this
county. So long as this condition
remains it is useless to talk of
prosperity. Any increase Of circu-
lation would only be temporary
relief. All the money, much or lit
tie, will concentrate in the money
centers while the people of the
South pursue their present policy
of furnishing only raw material for
the factories and buying their sup
plies away from home.
We have the cotton, coal, iron,
limestone, timber, water-power and
climate and manufacturing can be
lone cheaper here than elsewhere.
If New England with her severe
climate and want of natural ad-
vantages, can ship fuel and raw
materials hundreds of miles and
make money manufacturing why
may not we of the South ? Another
fact is that the South can raise her
own food products in abundance
and with little cost. She may,it she
will, become independent of the
granaries and meat packing estab-
lishments of the North and West.
In these two items, the building
up of our manufacturing interests
and diversifying farming aud raising
our own supplies, lies the future
prosperity Of the South.

THE SATANIC PRESS.

As the faithful chronicler OF passing
events the journalist must report both the
bad and the good, but he is bound edi-
torially not to confuse and disregard the
distinction between right and wrong-that
Is, between the eternal verities and the
eternal faIlacies and depravities. What
sort of information is proper for publica-
ton and what is improper is well under
stood by all newspapers Of any potential
influence or consequence and the distinc-
ton is generally sharply drawn.
The so-callel yalgarisms of society have
as genuine a place in a newspaper as they
have in the immortal literature of the
world; its history; its poetry; its drama,
and its fiction. No great newspaper could
book or literary Dudes own"
without being utterly false TO its func-
tons, TO present map of the life OF the
world for the day, not only its sanctifed
and sanctimonious life but its unsancti-
fed life, and volcanic eruptions of evil.
Any other rule would make a newspaper
as false and halffaced mirror of human
nature as oh9kSpeare WOULD be without
any shapes but moral heroes for men, any
portraits Of women save those who are
altogether lovely and infiexibly chaste.
Human nature is as full OF clowns, bawds,
villains. hypocrites, sinners and saints to-
day as when Shakespeare painted it in all
its forms, high and low. that stand
for life. 4 tea-table newspaper is

reach. This liberal theory of the province
and scope of journalism is sometimes bit
terly denounced by men who ought to
know better as responsible for what is
termed the Satanic press. To refuse to
make public journal as austere and d.
dactic as a religious tract or . Sunday
school book does net make the newspspe.

OREGON AND WASHINGTON.

II seems impossible for the people of
Oregon to rid themselves of the idea that
this state is province of their own. For
many years, while Washington was
territory, Oregon men dominated our poll
tics, our business and pretty much every
thing else we have. The habit became
second nature to them, and they have
done little toward breaking it since Wash
ington became a state.
The Oregon senator's to this day persist
in acting as if they were in some manner
responsible for Washington. They insist
upon scrutinizing all legislation affecting
Washington. They would like to take
hand in selecting the appointees to WASH
ington offices. They exercise much solic-
itude for the interests of this state as they
view them, and seem annoyed when the
people OF Washington or their representa-
tiyes view them differently.
The ridiculous side OF this situation be-
that Washington has much larger popu-
lation than Oregon, and that in everything
that goes to make state it is far in ad-
vance of its southern neighbor. Oregon
has no present claim to domination in the
politics or in the business of Washington.
The Oregon senators are simply following
a habit contracted when Washington was
a territory. They seem unable to compre-
bend that the day when Washington can
be run" by Oregon, or any other state, is
past forever.

THE FIRST BATTLE OF THE IRON
CLADS.


Tonight Captain H. E. W. Campbell, of
Philadelphia, will lecture at Armory hall
on the battle between the Monitor and
the Merrimac, of which he was an eye
witness.
1t is 3 remarkable fact that the South
was quicker than the North to compre-
bend at the outset of the war the impor-
lance of the ironclad, the ram and the
torpedo in naval warfare. Their ports
were blockaded; they were not people of
manufacturing or mechanical skill; they
had few iron foundries, few skillful work
men, and yet they made wonderfully
vigorous and effective use of their limited
resources. The exploits of the Merrimac
in Hampton Roads. of the Tennessee in
Mobile bay. of the ram Arkansas in the
Mississippi and the Albemarle in the
Roanoke river, are proof of the aptitude of
the South in the construction of formid-
able ironclads, while the sinking of num-
Der of our ironclads and gunboats proves
the skill of their torpedo service.
The Confederates preceded our govern
ment at least three months in the prepara-
tion of ironclads. They took the new
S,500-ton frigate Merrimac. captured with
the Norfolk navy yard, cut it down nearly
TO the waters edge, covered its sides with
four-inch plate iron. and covered il over
with bomb proof in shape of sloping
roof made of railroad iron. This ironclad
was armed with eight eleven-inch guns
and two i00-pounders. and was furnished
with sharp steel PROV, to be used as
ram. The Confederates had so few work
men that they were nine months COM

To THE EDITOR: fhe l1piue is indigenous TO
all portions OF this state. and is very attractive
flower. This year il is advertised as "Lupinus
Alba by Eastern florists. as "a novelty recently
imported from Europe" This is the fowe.
which grows alike on sands or on gravel, on the
highlands and lowlands, and is styled by tho
Germans, "the desert restorer," it is often
sovn and the green plant in summer plowcd
under to renew fertility OF worn-out soils. Thus
it combines beauty with utility. The lupine is
a rapid growing, bushy plant, from twelve to
twenty inches in height, with strong stalks each
sending up q spike three to seven inches in
height, covered with closely-set bloom shaped
like pea blossoms. The colors of some plants
are blue or lilac, and OF Others pure white, with

pretty flower, is Insignificant beside the stately

Chicago Timbsrman, March 5.

SHlcdSO haECu
The sawmill men of Western Washington
have been unable as yet to secure freight rates
which will enable them to place fir in the East
ern markets in competition with white pine,
and are now turning their attention to red cedar
as a finishing lumber. This red cedar makes q
very handsome interior finish and is said to
possess excellent lasting qualities for outside
work. 1t is somewhat lighter than white pine
and therefore the high rates Of freight are not
so much of an obstacle to the shipment of this
wood East as they are to the shipment of fir. A
prominent Tacoma lumbermau is authority for
the statement that red cedar bevel siding can be
laid down in Boston for so per thousand ieet,
and in explanation Of this statement says that
cedar stumpage is 400 per cent. cheaper than
white pine and its lightness makes the freight
rate very reasonable per thousand feet. Orders
are being received for red cedar from as far East
as Boston aud other New England points and
additional inquiries are being received every day
