ORGANIZATION T

Tn things essential, unity, and in
all things, charity"
Shall we be the only class that don't
know enough or care to protect Our
selves?
All other classes are organized, and
our only hope is in maintaining our
organizations
Farmers, organized and united, are
a tower Of strength; unOrganized and
divided, they are a rope of sand.
Our very friendliness, arising from
the fraternal relations brought about
by contact in our organizations, has
made us a power,
Oar work is only just begun. We
trust there are many who are broad
minded enough to contemplate the
problem, and who realize that this is a
battle not only for our fellow man, but
for our children.
Farm organizations are just what
the tillers Of the soil make them. This
ought to be fully realized, and each
and every farmer should govern him,
self accordingly and attend all meet
ipgs possible-not as a "wall flower
but as q live energetic worker, de-
termined to do all in his power for the
good Of the Order and his fellow man.

THE POOR PEOPLE DUPED.

The recent disclosures in the French
Congress concerning the ~dtsgraceful
Panama scandal reveal a lamentable
state of affairs-one from which our
own people would do we'll to learn a
lesson. In France, as in this and other
countries, the poor, laboring people,
commonly spoken of as the masses, are
constantly engaged in the struggle
for existence" Their life is one of
continuous toll with little time to de-
vote to the study of social, political or
financial questions. A subsidized press
doomed the Panama scheme and thou
sands Of labOring men contributed their
h~ard-earned savings to the project IN
the hope Of receiving a fair profit on
their investment. Corruption entered
high places, the fruit of their toll was
equandered before their blinded ewes
the last hope of profit gradually faded
from their beclouded vision, and thev
we're confronted by the stern fact that
they bod been duped-that they had
been deceived by once reputable men
in high places. That is generally the
case. The masses were deceived, their
interests neglected, the rascality of the
leaders covered up and smOthered until
now, the truth is known, the Republic
| is on the verge of a revolution.

4 RAZOR HONE LAKE.

when in Ireland last summer"
said Henry P. Smyth at the Lindell,
IL saw the strange lake out ofwhich
most of the razor homes of the world
come. The water of this lake has the
power of purifying any substance
that may be put into it. The
product is not actual stone, but
stone material is deposited in the
cells and hardens there, giving wood
or anything else the appearance of
having been turned to stone. An
English cutlery firm had a man
examine the lake-Lough Neagh is
its name-with the result that they
get supply of homes 'front.'. Pieces OF
hard wood are immersed in the lake
and allowed to remain there about
two weeks. These homes are now a
famous product of this firm, but the
or-sharpening world little knows
that the stone is so to speak, wood
petrlfed in two weeks in the largest
of the Irish lakes. - st. Louis Globe

EX-PRESIDENT HA YES.

Rutherford b. Hayes, who learned
on March 2, 1877, that two days
later he was to be inaugurated as
President of the United States, was
an excellent representative of one
phase of American life. General
Hayes was not an exceptional man,
He was the direct result of good
blood, good character and good
training With excellent natural
abilities, high minded, of refined
tastes, he was eminently a gentle
man. AS soldier, lawyer, statesman,
he did his duty always with extreme
Fidelity to conscience.
But in no respect was he an
extraordinary man. An excellent
officer of volunteers, he was not a
soldier like Grant. An excellent
public speaker, he was by no means
a great orator. An able admins
traitor, he could not be called a
brilliant statesman. Scores of men
his equals in nearly, if not quite, all
points can be found in almost every
state in the Union.
And in this very fact lies the
encouraging feature. General Hayes
was, If you please, man of respect
able mediocrity. Butin that case we
can only say that respectable medioc-
rity in the republic is of exceedingly
high grade; and that is true. Men
who are competent to administer
the high Office OF president of the
United States with credit to them
selves and benefit to the country are
by no means few. 1t is well to
remember that in the long line of
our presidents, there is really not one
who was not at least respectable in
character and abilities, and especially
is it true that men of the high type of
character of General HAYES are
abundant in all sections of the
Union. Such men ought to be
leaders in all our political movements.

of convictions for murder, the
tendency of society is unmistakable.
In 1892 there were 6792 murders IN
the United States, and only 107legal
infections of the death penalty. Ac-
cording to this showing one person
in every 10000 was murdered, while
only one murderer in every sixty
three and one-half met the just
punishment of his crime. Students
of social problems have also to
admit that "reliable statistics and
testimony prove that, among all
nations of the Christian world, in
the United States the highest crimes
are most frequently committed and
least punished" So long as these
discouraging facts remain indisputa-
bic it will be useless for amateur
philanthropists to urge the abolition
of the death penalty for the crime OF
murder Philadelphia Press.
Development of the Telephone,
The expiration OF the patent and
opening Of the field of telephony to
the nation is, under the circum-
stances, signal epoch in the history
of invention. Seventeen years ago
the patent was granted. Under
energetic business management the
industry based on this atentattain-
ed an enormous development, and 1t
is interesting to note that these
monumental achievements have only
been accomplished during the last
days of the life Of the patent. The
invention has not lived out short
life of usefulness to be relegated 10
obscurity. 1t has increased con
tinuaIly in importance, and it IS only
at the end of its monopoly that its
greatest developments have taken
place.-[Scientihc American.

TO JERUSALEM BY RAIL.

The Jaffa and Jerusalem railroad
has been formally opened The event
was celebrated on the part OF the
Mohammedans by an address from
a priest of high rank in Jerusalem,
after which three sheep were slaught-
cred as a propitiatory sacrifice; and
the company celebrated the event by
a dinner given in the evening under
tents AT the Jerusalem station. The
road, built in Palestine and Syria
is a little over 6fty.three miles long,
thirty miles of which is on the plain
land and the remaining twenty-three
in the mountains. There are no
tunnels, the builders preierrlng to go
around bluffs rather than to bore
through them There are five deep
cuttings among the hills, and three
or four fine iron bridges
The stcepest grade is two per cent,
or one hundred feet to the mile. The
track is narrow gauge, exactly one
meter in width. Wooden ties are
used which were brought from
France and cost, delivered in Iaifa,
eighty cents each, and half Of the
rails came from France and The other
half from Belgium. The road has
five engines, all made by the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, in Philadelphia,
and the cars, which were made in
the north OF France, open at the
ends, with a passage running length
ways through them, and there are
compartments, divided by partitions
and doors. Coal is brought from
Cardiff and from Belgium, and 200
tons is required a day. Between
Jaffa and Jerusalem there are five
stations. For the station in Jerusa-
lem, which is one mile from the city,
little more than eight and Il hall
acres of land were purchased at a
very high prce-not less than S25,-
000-land which thirty years ago
was sold for 81 per acre This
station is 247G feet above the level
OF the station at Jaiia, and the exact
length Of the road is eighty-siX and
halt kilometers, or hity-three and
six-lenths miles. The cost of the
road is not far from $2,000,000.
The company was organized in 1890,
and the concession was obtained IN
that year, three years being allowed
for the construction, but the builders
completed it i'll two and one'halt
years. French money built the road,
and the principle owners reside in
Paris, the headquarters OF the
company. The time between Jerusa-
lem and Jaffa is three and one-fourth
hours down and three and one-half
hours coming up, and the fare is
$3.50 first class and 81 for second
class New York Mail and Express.

THE SUICIDE.

The would-be suicide is one of three
things; great philosopher, a crazy
man or a coward. If philosopher,
his philosophy is faulty, unless
perhaps he is beyond all hope and
doubt burden to himself and to the
community, If a lunatic, he must
receive careful treatment, and his
reasoning powers be trained to
follow out ideas which will take him
out of himself and give him some
interest life. The whole treatment
is prophylacti>, but much may be
accomplished, and possibly hypno-
tism may prove valuable aid in its
accomplishment. Much might be
done to give force to the character of
the coward, but when man be.
comes so afraid to face the world
with its trials, disappointments and
distressing problems that he prefers
to solve them all by getting out,
perhaps it is as well to let him go.
