Important Facts and Figures.

The subJoined statements, showing In va
riety OF forms the rapid Increase arising from
Interest (rent or usury being very nearly
Synonymous terns) charged for the use OF ac-
cumulated wealth-which we take from lee
ture delivered some years ago In Association
Hall, New Yolk, by Wallace P. Groom, on the
Currency Needs OF Commerce" - contain
much food for thought for all classes, old or
young, man or woman, employer or employ
ed: for interest affects the price OF every
com modify In the most vital manner.
Many carelessly infer that the increase OF
money at six per cent. Is just twice as rapid
us at three per cent; but In reality the in-
crease Is vastly moro rapid than this. In one
hundred years, at SIX per cent, the increase
ON any given sum Is about eighteen times as
much us at three per cent.
If one dollar be invested and the interest
added TO the principal annually, At the rates
named, we shall have the following results as
the accumulation of one hundred years:

MRS. ELIZA e. HAYDEN, widow of the
late Garner Hayden, in the 73rd year OF
her age.
How touching il is 10 the hearts Of those
who loved her when we recall the uuss
cherished recollections OF the pleasant times
in her sweet presence, and now think she
is no longer with M on earth. She was a
kind, gentle and loving mother Of many
children, eight of whom survive her, while
four were laid at rest before her hour came
Weep not for her children and grand child
rem, for she has not left rs forever, but gone
Co q land which Is more beautiful and pure
than the loveliest spots on earth. We
must All love her for hen tenderness and
care; her pious instructions, her fervent
prayers and her lovely example.

JAMES G.. BLAINE DEAD-James
Gillespie Blaine died Friday, Jan
uary ~, 1898, at his no. in Wash
ington. Mr.. Blaine's So years OF
life were made mp of more sue
cesses and greater Affections than
usually fall to the lot of men. The
minor political prizes which he
sought, he won; the great prize upon
which he seemed TO have set bis
heart-the Presidency-though Of.
ten almost within his grasp, he
failed to secure. Few men have
ever occupied for as long time as
much of the public gaze as Mr..
Blaine. OF his popularity there
can be no question. Some there
are who see only the dark passages
in his career and close their eyes to
the good. AS Southerners we should
"be To his faults little blind; be to
his virtues very kind" and ever
mindful that as Speaker of the Z.
5. House of Representatives he was
just and impartial and that it was
during his speakership in 1874, that
he took the floor and helped in de-
feating the passage of the original
''fofce bill"

Senator Chandler. of New Hamp

Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, has introduced resolution
in the Senate asking President Har-
rison to negotiate With the insur-
gent Hawaiian government for the
annexation of the islands to the
United States. Hawaii is situated
in the Pacific ocean, is thousands
of miles from the States end its
inhabitants have little or nothing
in common with our people. 1t is
true that enterprising Americans
have engaged extensively in the SUI
gar industry on the islands but that
fact does not give a right to dispos-
sess the natives and take their coun-
try.
The treaty of 1s43 provides against
either France or England taking
the islands, and why not permit
the Hawaiians to retain their indie
pendence and settle their form Of
government to suit themselves.
The United States already possesses
an abundance of territory.

pelaHare FANS vs. Southern NaEand Plantations

In every section of the country
we find the first settlers and cult
vators of the soil to have been sim
ply planters, and not until later
are they succeeded by farmers, as
made necessary through non-pay-
ing crops, grown upon large areas
of impovished lands. Delaware
has been no exception to this gene
raj rule. but fortunately for her
present prosperous farmers, she
long since abandoned the old plan
tation system, towards the pursuit
of mixed culture of the soil upon
moderate areas of enriched land,
well-tilled, in a variety of crops.
Today, in all the Southern States,
there is needed this kind of farm
ing. and not simply planting. Of
this Southern Maryland is a fair IL
lustration. Reading its early his
tory, we find the landholders cal
ling themselves planters, the col
onies being generally known in
England as the Plantations. This
condition of things subsisted with
but little change in the habits and
customs of the people up to the Pc
Rod of the Civil War. Tobacco
was the staple crop of these Plan
tations. But for some years back.
as we learn, there has been but lit
tie money in tobacco growing.
What is needed under the changed
conditions of affairs, from old times
to new times-to make this highly
favored peninsula "a veritable gar
den spot, with its delightful eli
mate and great variety of products
of land and water-is a radical
change from old methods SUBJ
division OF the large plantations
into smaller tracts or farms-and
few farmers who understand the art
of renovating depleted soils, not
alone stimulating them with COM
mercial fertilizers to the production
of one main crop. The soil in
many sections has been deprived of
its original elements of fertility.
and needs restoration. One great
thing about these lands is, that
they can be rapidly renovated, and
st small cost, when farmers of the
right type take hold of them.
Many farm that is at present run
ming its owner in debt may be made
very profitable by improving the
land, and that at small outlay of
m ,ney. This has been tried and
demonstrated too often to be sim
ply a theory. Glover and similar |
plants need to be planted and plow-
ed under, bringing up a little sub
