What is the better part In lifep
The impulse of a silent sympathy
That in the worlds harsh song Of wrong and
strife
Attunes a chord Of sweet tranquility
To thrill the darkness or some heart to light
And send 1t singing larklike on its way
Above the low hung clouds out into day.
What is the better part in life7
That faith, the inner sight, which needs not
fear
The darkling shadows of approaching night,
Nor yet the somber promise OF swift coming
years;
But holds tho last still ray of sunset light
Till the first evening star illumes the night.
What is the better part in life7
The royalty which, born Of truth and right,
Brings consciousness of mans nobility;
That sets a diadem of might and light
Upon his brow with every duty done,
With every battle brayely waged and won.
What is the better part in life9
That brotherhood of man, strong, quick to feel
A weaker brothers fall and help him rise,
Or else, IL needs, with him TO kneel
Beneath the shadow and in silence wait
Until the welcome rays Of morning break.
What is the better part in life7
The love that helps another to the right:
The faith that turns the darkness into noon;
The sympathy that dulls mans murmured
strife,
And whatsoe'er helps make earth's music rife
With heaven, adds to the better part In life.

A Sad Farewell.

The following is the valedictory
of an Alabama paper that flourish
edCO in a town where talent is not
appreciated. 1t is something in the
nature of tale of woe. "We this
morning print our last paper. Our
heart is not broken but our pocket
is. 1t is impossible to print high
grade paper in a village where the
peoples literary tastes do not rise
above the patent medicine almanac,
whore the merchant pastes his ads
on tin cans, and to get large cir
culation ties the cans to the tails OF
dogs, and the bond bloated servants
pick their tech with the tail of a
dried herring. The Screamer has
labored assiduousIy to overcome
these customs of the dark past, but
alas, in vainI Thus this wbyness.
To our delinquents: We will not fur
nish palm leaves at your funeral. "

Selections From LongfeIIow.

The holiest of all the holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart,
When the full river of feeling overhows;
The happy days included TO their close.
The strength of criticism lies
only in the weakness of the thing
criticised.
1 do not pity the misery of a
man underplaced; that will right
itself presently; but pity the man
overpIaced.
The subject of economy mixes
itself with morals, inasmueh as it
is preemptory point of virtue
that mans independence be secur-
ed. Poverty demoralizes. A man
in debt is SO far a slave.
Our little lives are kept in equipose
BY opposite attractions and desires;
The struggle of the instinct that enjoys,
And the more noble Instinct that aspIres

ThePrice Of wheat.

Inc EE1ce OF W neat
According to the statisticians,
1891 was the banner year for wheat
crops and wheat exports. In July
of that year wheat was selling in
Chicago at s1.50 bushel-about7O 20
cents at country elevators.
To day wheat is selling at 55 cts.
in Chicago-about 80 cents at the
country elevators in the northwest.
In 1891 the farmers received $685.
loco, 900 for 5O,O0O.OOO bushels OF
wheat. This yearthey receive $751;
900, 600 for the same amount OF
wheat-less than half. Their debts
and all their obligations remain the
same. They simply receive less
than half the returns for the same
outlay Of labor and capital.
This Wreekage of the earnings
and profits of the wheat growers has
been going on under the eyes of
every man, woman and child that
can read the newspapers.
The farmer is to be sympathized
with of course, but does any one
suppose that the wreckage and rob-
berry of which he is the victim stops
with him2 If this were so, every
interest except that of the farmer in
the wheat growing region would be
in prosperous condition. But as
just the contrary is the case we
must conclude that every interest
is sharing the losses that have fall
en- on the farmer. The railroads
that carry the wheat to market are
in trouble, and are reducing expen.
ses-cutting down wages and dis
charging employees.
All interests have some sort of
connection with tho farmer-every
business and industry. The rob.
berry from which the farmer suffers
not only prostrates him, but deals a
blow at every conceivable interest,
mercantile, commercial and indus
trial.
Where are the improved processes
and machinery that will account for
the loss of more than half the earn
ings of the wheat grower during
the past four years2 We should be
glad to have some banker or finan-
cial expert point them out.
Where is the overproduction?
Even if thousands of people were
not starving all over the land the
statisticians would promptly give
the lie to the argument of overpro-
duction. The statisticians say that
there has been decided falling of
in the worlds production of wheat
since 1887, and they give the figures
to show for it.
But the figures are not worth
considering in such a crisis at that
which has fallen on the people OF
this country by reason of the in
crease of the purchasing power OF
the dollar. When men have been
thrown out of employment and
have no money, wheat would be
dear to them at 10 cents a bushel.
When labor has lost it's earning ca
pacity, all things are dear.
But what is to be done about it2
If the Democratic party falls into
hostile camps over such matter as
the coinage of the seigniorage,
what will happen when it attempts
to carry out the financial pledge OF
the platform, which holds to the use
of both gold and silver as the stand.
ard money of the country?
Our advice to the people is that
they put a bride on their indigna,
ton and think the whole matter
over quietly.-Ahanta Constitution.

The former country has claimed to

King, while Japan has refused to rec
ognize China's right in the matter,
and insisted on the independence Of
Corea- In July Japan demanded
that the King Of Corea should insti-
tute certain reforms in government,
and said It would send soldiers to
help him. China told Japan TO keep
her hands of. Japan sent her troops,
however, and China sent others.
Then, on July %, japan declared
war Corea lies between the two
countries, so that it was easy for
them to fight there, and there they
fought There have been several bat
ties. In the last week OF July a
naval battle was fought near Achan,
which the Japanese won; at Yaskan,
on August 2, the Japanese won their
second victory, and on August IL
gained another naval victory; on Sep
,ember IL, off Yalu, the Japanese
feet destroyed the Chinese feet, and
late in September the Japanese
army invaded China, and defeated
the Chinese army at Wiju on October

defeated the Chinese at Fong-Fang-

captured Port Arthur. II is almost
impossible to give the exact dates OF
the battles because the news comes
