Miss Elizabeth Clark, who was selected

states at the Birmingham reunion of con-
federate veterans, has unwittingly got
herself into an uncomfortable snarl. She

1t seems that Gov. Northen was some
what illiberal in declining to introduce a
lecturer upon the passion play for the
benefit of the Brunswick sufferers be-
cause he did not approve of the Iectur-
er's theme. The governor was, in all
probability, asked to introduce the lee
turer merely because his official patron
age would tend to draw out larger au-
dience, with the result of raising a
larger relief fund, and not with the view
of making him appear TO indorse
the theme or the point of view of its dis
cussion. Furthermore, it is a question
whether or not the passion play is sacri-
legious. But in any event Gov Northen s
religious position is too well known for
so small matter to have compromised it.

The south,s Bad Year.

The Georgetown storm adds another to
the list of disasters that have befallen
the south this year, making it one of the
worst years the section has ever expe-
rienced. Twice during August hurricanes
came up from the Caribbean sea and
wrought havoc on the coasts of Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina, to be fol-
lowed during the early part of this month
by similar terrible visitation upon the
Gulf states, and day before yesterday by
another fatal storm along the coasts of
the Carolinas. 1t would almost seem that
nature had for the time transferred her
field for extraordinary and violent me-
teoric displays from the northwest to the
South Atlantic and Gulf states.
Beside the appalling losses of life oc-
casioned by these several hurricanes, the
property losses amount to millions of dol
lars, which fall most heavily upon poor
people. In the path of each storm all
crops were virtually ruined. Farmers
whose corn had been made" except for
the ripening, saw every stalk swept down
and the ears, still lin the milk" covered
with water. Cotton crops have been wiped
out on sea island and coast planta-
tions. Nearly the whole rice growing
section Of the country has been swept,
some of it twice; and in many sections
the planters win not save enough of their
grain to plant their next crops Where
they would have harvested thousands of
bushels they will get tens.
Besides these things the south has
been harrassed with guarantees and
fears of fevers, and its trade has been
hampered by a financial crisis Yet, with
all of these misfortunes, the south is not
disheartened. With her customary pluck
and philosophy she will with a short
respite from set-backs, come out of it all
in good shape.

Last year the legislature of Maryland
passed a special act directed against
tramps and Migrants for the benefit Of
Carroll county. 1t provides that upon
conviction of assault, disorderly conduct,
drunkenness or vagrancy the magistrate
shall sentence the person so convicted to
hard labor upon the streets of West
Minister for a term not exceeding sixty
days Upon application of the city au-
thorities the law also provides that the
county commissioners shall supply stone
to be broken by the prisoners for use
upon the streets. The law has now been
in operation nearly year, with the result
that it has materially lessened the
county's expenses, and has not only
caused. tramps to avoid the county, but
has also placed a needed restraint upon
the disorderly element of the colored peo-
pie. Moreover, Westminster has been
benefited, as the law has enabled the
municipal authorities to keep the streets
and alleys in good condition at small
cost.

On the Waccamaw river, in South Car
DINA, a large rice planter has determined
to abandon rice and turn his rice fields
into truck farms. He will ship fresh"
such of his products as he can and put
the balance in tins. He has erected a
cannery on the plantation, and has this
year put up quantity of okra, tomatoes
and rice. The canning Of rice, by the
way, is something comparatively new.
The grain is cooked in the southern
style" and put up in one, two and three
pound tins, and, it is said, finds ready
sale among southern people at the north
and west, where the art of cooking rice
as it should be has not yet been acquired.
The planter referred to calculates that
his rice acreage in cabbage, cucumbers,
cayenne pepper, okra, sweet peas, ETC.,
for canning viii give him a return two or
three times as large as it would planted
in rice.

A statistician furnishes the Washing

gard to the sentiment of the people of
the country on the question of the repeal
of the silver purchase law. His calcula-
ton, based on the vote in the House on
the Wilson bill, shows that the represent
atives of Al, s62, 500 people voted for the
bill, while it was opposed bymembers rep
resentiug Is, 794,04S people. A table pre-
pared shows also that 2,497 ,172 of the
democratic voters of the country as rep
resented in the House favored the bill
against 1,O75, 126 who opposed it, These
figures, according to the statistician,
show that more than two-thirds of the
people and nearly three-fourths of the
democratic voters OF the country favor
repeal.

THE DIGGER INDIANS.

A Race OF Human Beings That Are
Below the Brute Creation.
A few weeks ago had my first in,
PRODUCTION to tribe of Digger IN
dams, living as they have lived for
centuries, in huts made OF tules,
which offer about as much protection
as hut male of Columbia County
corn stalks. Having read Mrs. Helen
Hunt Jackson's Ramona" hoped
to see some idealistic dusky maidens
OF the Ramona type-maidens beau
tiful, both mentally and physically.
The damsel first introduced was 12G
years old. She was gnawIng o. bunk
of raw meat as she sat on straw be-
side her hut.
This senorita was too much inter
ested in beef just then TO talk much.
Her black eyes was full of fire, but the
skin of the face and body resembIed
shriveled leather and betokened great
age. They are all OF kind these
men and women. In body they
resemble Australian bushmen. They
have fiat noses, thick lips, dark skins,
and less mental development than
Ethopians. Their natural way of life
before missionaries came was to eat
vermin, live in holes, and incase them
selves in mud For the sake Of the
country's honor it is gratifying that
ethnologists class these people apart
from the North American Indian,
Humboldt included them in the dregs
OF mainly such as the inhabitants
Of Van Dieman's land. The Catholic
priests, however, have accomplished
excellent results educating the young
Indians. Low as the Diggers are they
believe in a superior being, and re-
vered a phantom called Chinigchinich,
believing that this spector lived among
the stars and dispensed justice. He
was their creator and guide.
In earlier days every village had @
rough temple in which the god was
represented by coyote skin stuffed
with feathers, talons, claws, and
beaks, The Diggers steal and drink
fire-water. So do pale faces, for that
matter, but Caucasian blood can
stand it better. Whisky is killing the
Diggers. The white men have wrested
their lands from them, introduced
deadly vices, and as rule care
naught for these natives. In this con-
nection it was almost ludicrous last
Decoration Day to watch u party of
Indian school children, with flowers in
hand, standing beside a veterans
grave, at the signal from the good
priest in charge, sing:
''My country, tits ofthee,
Land of the noble free, etc.

A Novel Way Adopted by Chinese

mandS.
There is an impression in America
that strikes are unknown in China.
My experience is quite to the con-
trary. The Chinese have invented
the mariners compass, gunpowder
and strikes, but the only one OF the
three which they have developed
fully as the art of striking. When
ever they want anything they ask for
it by announcing a strike. did not
appreciate at first the Importance

one came round they not only struck,
but 200 of them came up and mob

would strike if they did not like their
shit boss, strike if they mad bad

for any reason. Once when
mine, mill and furnace we're in full
blast the miners all struck for some
insignificant cause. Tired Of expost-
ulation, sent for the head men and
told them gravely that had no OBJ
lection to the strike if the men wished
it, but that the mill and furnace
could not stop. They had to go right
on, and it was very costly to keep
them at work without ore. l said
that did not think it was right to
make the company pay the loss, and
that should fine the work-men three
days pay for every day they were off
duty. There was a gre at hubbub. The
miners came to know that what the
head men told them was true. They
went to work the next day and strik-
ing was free in that mine ever after,
but each man paid for his own fun.
In the end, however, they devised q
more potent mode of welfare. They

Wife and Sweetheart.

Every bride knows her power; every
wife comes to know her weakness,
writes Octave Thanet in the Ladies'
Home Journal. A good proportion
of the heartbreak of early marrled life
is due to the ferment of this knowl-
edge. The poor child whose lover
gave up his cigars and his club with
sqch angelic meekness, finds that her
husband can smoke like a chimney,
and leave her alone nights in order to
spend the evening with his men friends,
She imagines that he cares less for her
than he did, which is a mistake, in
most casesl seven out OF ten men love
their wives better than their sweet
hearts. 1t is simply that her presence
Is not the absorbing excitement that
it was when love was new. The
chances are that the wife is become a
dozen times more necessary to the
man than ever the sweetheart could
have been: He would feel her death
far more keenly, but he does hot heel
to adiure his heart to tsit stil'' when
ever his fancy summons her image In
short, she is hepome the bread OF ex-
istence in place OF the elixir. Now,
most OF us who have sense would pre-
fer to be bread rather than elixir; but
there is no question that more fusa is
made ever the eIlxiE.

'Your head is full OF bees" is an old

theories have taken possession of the
brain. The connection between bees
and the soul was once generally main

Barley-Fed Hogs.

From st. Paul Saturday Reporter Dec.
S1st 1893.
Geo. Fowler, Of Fowler Bros. Napoleon.
North Dakata brought in a couple more
loads Of barley-fed hogs last week, of their
own feeding, that compared with any hogs
in the yard as regards to quality. Mr..
Fowler has tried hog raising in that north
ern country for several years, feeding bar
ley and occasionally wheat screenings and
finds he can raise as good a hog on barley
and as cheap, as on corn. In fact he
brought in load OF barley hogs two years
ago that were the best received here that
year.
We think Northern Minnesota farmers
especially those above the "cornbelt -
would do we'll to think over the above
when they are selling wheat at 40 to SOC
per bushel. Hogs can be raised as we'll and
as cheaply in Northern Minnesota as in
Iowa.
1t may take better winter quarters in
Minnesota, but to Offset that it is we'll to re-
member that a case of hog cholera was
South st. Paul wants million hogs in t93
and will take every hog raised in Minneso-
ia at its market value for cash. The aver
age cost ofhogs on this market for the past
five years is about Sd so, which pays profit
in excess of any crop the farmer can raise,
while the present price is about $3.50 per
C. W. t., live weight.
Farmers should diversity their product.
Constant raising of wheat and grain impoy.
erishes the land, and renders-it coupara-
lively, of little value. A crop Of hogs can
be raisel and marketed in irem ten to
twelve months, Eve y farmer north of St.
Paul should raise, at least few hogs and
they should use good judgment in securing
good breeds of hogs. Farmers who wish
to engage in hog raising can secure the
breeding hogs, any day in the year, at the
Stock Yards, in South St. Paul, this fact Is
mentioned as farmers are constantly asking
us where they can secure the stock hogs.
