Since the beginning Of this year there
have been distressful want and suffer
ing in certain parts Of three states-Ne-
braska, Kansas and lastly Colorado.
With all the surplus wheat and cotton
of last year, this condition must not be
allowed to continue. Generous hands
are already bringing relief. 1t is to be
noted, however, that the destitution has
been in every case in the wretched so
called rain belt which covers a certain
section Of the Union. The starving
farmers ought never to have settled
there. The soil is good with irrigation.
Without irrigation it is worthless. This,
undoubtedly, many of the landsharks
who sold the ground to the deceived ag-
riculturists knew beforehand. They will
fully and deliberately sent people who
trusted them into the arid region to
starve, caring not a jot whether these
lived or died, just so that they them
selves pocketed the blood money. Where
will they go when they die?

He Danced With the Queen.

An American gentleman Of the best
type left us when Richard Vaux Of Phil
adelphia departed this life. Whatever
wild eyed anarchists say to the contrary,
high breeding, educational advantages
and refining influences in early life do
count, and count for much. Parents owe
it to their children as an apology for
bringing them into the world to sur
round them with all the advantages of
this kind that lie in their power.
Richard Vaux enjoyed whatever mon-
ey and high social station could give
him all his life. In youth he was strik-
ingly handsome He was also what men
would call lucky. Honors came to
him Of themselves. When only 30 years
old, he was chosen secretary of legation
to the American embassy in London.
The appointment was surprise to him,
and he did not want it. He accepted it,
however, and made most brilliant and
popular official. Queen Victoria was
then in the bloom of her bright, sweet
youth, idolized by her people, enjoying
keenly the social pleasures she has
eschewed for so many years. At court
ball the brilliant, handsome and high
bred young American secretary of lega-
ton danced with Victoria herself and
he was the only American who ever had
this honor.
Richard Vaux's life was most busy
one. In politics, in business or in phi
lanthropy he never wearied. AS one of
the trustees of Girard college he trans
formed the instruction there from useless
pedagogical learning to course which
embraced the training Of poor boys in
useful trades, thus anticipating the
change in education now taking place
all over the country. When he was
mayor of Philadelphia, he used often to
go out to fires at night, to see for him
self whether the service was prompt and
efficient. He was in his seventy ninth
year at the time of his death, but still
actively in the swim Of things, as all old
people should be if they would keep
mind and body young. The last public
duty of his life was discharged when,
few days before his death, he conducted
a legislative committee through the
Eastern Pennsylvania penitentiary. He
was president Of the board Of inspect
ors for the prison. Richard Vaux was
ineal descendant of William Penn.

A Union of Republics,

One perpetual source of annoyance to
the Central and South American repub-
lies is, next to their own internal quar-
reling, the incessant attempts of Eu-
ropean nations to aggrandize themselves
at the expense of the weak Latin Ameri-
can countries. These attempts have been
carried SO far and have been continued
SO long that they are apparently at last
driving the republics to defend them
selves. An important alliance Of friend
ship has been concluded between Brazil
and Argentina. These two great and
progressive nations are taking steps to
form nothing less than a defensive un-
ion Of all the Latin American republics
1t is the most important and encour-
aging news that has come from South
America in many day. The news dis
patches tell US that Venezuela has the
sympathy and moral support Of all the
neighboring republics in her spirited at
titude toward Great Britain, and that
they will support her by force of arms
1t necessary.
Such a union is all that is needed for
the future security and advancement of
the brave South and Central American
republics. Standing together, they could
bid defiance to the united armies and ma
vies of all Europe. The United States
and Mexico should do all in their power
to foster such an alliance and then should
join it themselves. The allied republics
Of North and South America could die.
tate terms to the world Such union
would be the greatest chapter in history.

About This Time of Year.

The April grass begins to show a
faint, bright green. The sap is climb
ing into the buds with such wild, riotous
bounds that it stirs the sluggish human
blood and makes the heavy human heart
beat faster to think Of them.
Spring is here. She is doing her level
best to make all the world beautiful and
all mankind happy. Let us help her.
What magical transformation would
be wrought if man would assist nature
in the simple matter of dooryards, front
and back. Suppose in every city, town
and village in this United States all the
beef bones, ash piles, old shoes, tomato
cans and empty beer bottles were gath
cred and oarted off from back yards and
vacant lots, leaving nothing but the
clean, blessed brown earth. Then sup
pose, overnight, as soon as the frost is
out of the ground, some of the great,
strong common working angels up in
heaven should bring to bear the mighty
electrical force resident in them and
cause all back yards and disgraceful va
cant lots in the country to be spaded to
a considerable depth, then raked off,
ready to plant flower seeds and deposit
sweet smelling grass sods
Then, next night, suppose the second
relay of the night force of working an
gels should come and plant, first bed
Of pansies and another one Of sweet
peas, with vines to grow trailing over the
ugly and broken fences, with mignon-
cite and summer asters, with nastur-
tiums and summer pinks and carnations,
not forgetting the brilliant, burning
beds of phlox. There is superstition
that plants will not grow on the shady
side Of the yard, but the great common
working angels know better. They know
that there is exactly the spot for hardy
roses, rose geraniums, scarlet geraniums
and all kinds
The working angels would not mere
ly plant the flowers and then forget all
about them, neglecting to weed the
ground or water the parched earth. Not
they. They would tend the young shoots
and keep down the weeds. By and by
the pansies would burst into sweet
bloom, next the sweet peas would make
the ugly old back yard look like fairy
land. One after another, all over the
country, the plants would send up flow
ers in their season, a blaze Of beauty,
with the emerald grass shining beside
them. M ortals would mistake this
world for heaven and never want to 20
away from it,
Meantime it is pleasant to know that
many women, and men, too, in the
morning and evening intervals of their
other business, are at present doing ex-
actly this kind of angels work.

The truth is that the last three con-
crosses have all been "billion dollar
congresses. - Appropriations by the Fiji
ty-frst congress amounted to little over
81, 900, 100000. For the Fifty-second
the amount was still larger, being ST.
027, 900, 900. This was high water mark.
The sum is, however, still over 81, 900, :
100000 for the Fifty-third congress-
The original appropriations amounted to
5000, 1873, 691. But, counting in certain
contracts and Deficiencies that must be
met, the expenditures Of the Fifty
third will not be less than $1,O19, OOO,
900. The growing country requires the
increase.

are several such structures now in
process of erection in New York,

To the Editor of the Press:


East Poland, Aug. Is. The meetings
upon these historic grounds which com
menced on the Sth inst, have thus far been
a success. A chorus choir consisting of
some of the best voices from the several
churches represented upon the ground
has been organized by Mr. W. M. Cook
of South Paris with Mrs. Cook at the
organ, and the music under his load, has
been grand and inspiring and greatly en-
joyed by large appreciative audiences.
The preaching has been good, without
an exception, while some of the sermons,
were marked specimens of pulpit oratory.
Last Sabbath a very large audience
was upon the grounds The preaching
was by two young men who came of
Maine, one from California and the other
from Ohio.
Rev T. P. Baker of Mechanic Falls
preached in the morning and Rev. S. Z.
Westhafer of Bath in the afternoon. Both
