and such accumulation continues for at

ated from the fac, of the earth at night
becomes greater than that which it has re-

But if in this transitional season any read

dread to the hot Weather that is sure to
come he can, perhaps, gain little comfort
by glancing still further into the future.
Let him consider the lot of our successors

winter shall occur with the earth at its

when it is at its leaS distance. Such is the
fate of the thernhemisphere at present,
but half of the earth has superabundance
of water to equalize temperatures, and, be-

only the tail ends o. the continents. But

A two eeks' lengthening of the sum-
mer vacation of the public schools is
suggested on the ground that some
parents are prevented from staying in
the country so long as they would like
by the present arrangement. No doubt
it would be a convenience to some peo-
pie to have the vacation extended,
but the education of youth is Sc
rious matter and the provisions for it
ought not to be arranged on the basis of
mere convenience. The il terests of the
pupils, physical and mental, and the
general welfare of society are.the consid-
erations that should determine all mat
tiers pertaining to the public schools. and
therefore should decide the question of
lengthening the summer vacation. Mere
convenience of a art-and probably a
small part-of the parents should have
little to do with it. Perhaps there may
be coed reasons for extending the sum-
mer vacation. 1t may be that thirty
eight weeks, five days in the week, out
of the tifty-two, of going tosschool, puts
too much strain on the average pupil,
and is detrimental to his health.
That would be good reason for length.
ening the vacation. But to sacrifice two
weeks of the school year simply because
some parents want to stay in the coun-
try longer, would be hardly justifia BILE.
The opportunities of the great majority
of the children for getting an educa-
ton are confined to few years, and
they ought not to be curtailed for the
mere convenience of anybody.

The revelations in regard to the venali-
ty of the New York police come from
men of had character, and of course it
will be argued that for that reason they
are unworthy of belief. But the inves-
ltigations of DR.. Parkhurst made it very
clear long ago that the police were levy
ing blackmail and permitting imm oral
houses to exist because they were paid
for SO doing His circumstantial evil
dence, which was very strong, is now
corroborated by this direct testimony

it comes, is probably true

CARLISLE, MCPHERSON AND vOOR
HE'S

1t has been evident enough from the
beginning that the Senate investigating
committee was not anxious to make it's
inquiry into the Sugar Trust scandal
very thorough. The appointment of a
"cuckoo" Senator at the head of it and
the determination to investigate with
closed doors pointed to desire and in
tention to stifle inquiry as much as posi-
BILE. But in spite of all precautions, GER
tain facts have come out that have a
strong tendency to confirm all the charges
of the correspondents, and to put the
Secretary of the Treasury and two Sena-
tors at least on the defensive One of
those charges was, it will be remem-
bered, that Mr.. Carlisle handed to the
finance committee sch eduIe of sugar
duties which was substituted for the one
which the finance committee mad agree d
upon, and that Mr.. Carlisle prepared this
schedule on behalf of the Sugar Trust.
The first specification Of this indict-
ment namely, that Mr.. Carlisle furn-
ished the finance committee with a
schedule of sugar duties, is absolutely
proved by Mr.. Carlisle IS own testimony.
for he frankly admits that lie did pre-
pare and furnish such a schedule. The
second specification is that Mr.. Carlisle's
schedule was substituted for the one that
the finance committee prepared. Mr..
Carlisle AYERS that this is not true. Let
US see how untrue it is. By the schedule
prepared by the finance committe all
sugars not above so degrees, polaris-
cope test. were to pay duty of one cent
per pound; between so and 80, one hun
dredth of cent additional; between go
and 9S two hundredths of a cent addi-
tional; and above 90, a duty of one
eighth Of A cent in addition to the duty
on sugars not testing above 9S Now

sTALAcTiTE CAVES IN UTAH.

Two Wonderful Underground Chambers
Studded with Myriads OF Gems.
Two of the most wonderful stalac-
tite caves in tho world arc located
within the territory of Utah--one i've
miles south of To1uerville and tkc other
twenty-five miles west of St George.
Neither is remarkable on account of it's
size, and, according to the st. Louis
Republic, the dignifying title of s'cav-
ern" has never been bestowed upon
either of the two. They simply ccrne
within the category of the wonderful
because of the immense number of
stalactitcs of various sizes and colors
which depend from their roofs. The
first, the one near Toquervi1le, is
ltnown as "La Virgin and the other by
the maine of the "Black Warrior" The
Virgin was discovered few years ago
by the contractor of nm irrigating com
pany, who was engaged in driving
tunnel through q mountain called La
Virgin Bench for the purpose of tap
ping the river beyond. When the
light was first let into this wonder
full underground chamber the effect ia
said to have been startling, the roof
and floor glittcring with cubes and
points of crystal alum and the roof
studded with millions OF rnin-colored
stalactites.
The Back Warrior cave is a counter
part of the Virgin md was discovered
by miners ut q point where their tur-
ne was three hundred and sixty-five
feet beneath the surface.

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry purifiers the blood. BY this means
it reaches, builds up and ihvigorates
every part of the system. For every
blood-taint and disorder, and for every
disease that comes from an inactive

remedy so sure and effective that it
can be guaranteed.
If it fails to benefit or cure, you have
your money back.
These diseases are many. they're
different in form, but they're like in
treatment. Rouse up the torpid liver
into healthful action, thoroughly pu-
rify and enrich the blood, and there's
positive cure. The Discovery
does this, as nothing else can. Dys-

The Orange Growers Organise.

The organ ization of the orange and
| vegetable growers at Orlando was an
intelligent and enthusiastic body of
men, and their labors must be pro-
ductive of great good. 1t was a busi-
ness-like body, and every speaker en-
phasized the fact that the grower must
''get together and stand by the or
ganization at all hazards. The plan
formulated by Messrs. Bullock, ,iBuffum
and Gillett, which is familiar to most
of our readers, was adopted with few
changes, and the delegates return to
their homes pledged to working up an
interest in the organization and be-
lieve that better times are ahead for
the orange and vegetable growers of
the state. Mr.. Buffum was made pres
ident of the association and Mr.. Gill
lette general manager, and in their Sc
lection the convention, to use the lam
guage of General Bullock, made no
mistake, and his reference to their la
, bors in the successful inauguration of
the emovement was heartily appla
