As things are now in the southern
states the man does not live that can
make money i'll farming there. The
price OF cotton has dropped for quarter
OF century with regularity that
eliminates the element of chance and
points to some law of markets that is
out of.the reach of fertilizers or any de-
vice Of agriculture. 1t is this law that
the planters are looking for.
There is a fine spirit of scientific dis
covery abroad in the southern states. If
1t does not amount to great intellec-
tual awakening, then the signs that
have always attended popular move
ments do not apply in this instance.
1t is the manifest destiny of the south
to proclaim some cardinal principles of
political economy in the near future. 1t
might seem extravaganza to say that the
hope of the nation rests with the south,
but in these days of political and com
mercial CONSERVATION much more ex-
trayagant things are afioat in the prints.
In working out the destiny of the south
the problem of the nation itself may in
deed be solved. There are qualities in
the character of the south that will in
eyitably bring these people to the front.

signs of fear are in a complete
or normal condition of CON
seriousness. They must reach
some sort of physical and men
tai stage that the doctors fail
to write about. When it comes
right to the threshold death is
not much of an affair after all,
but the class who are CON
demned to execution does not
include many men capable OF
entertaining this calm view of
existence. Then it is clear that
the sensebilitios of these crimi-
nails are largely suspended.
Even Charles Miller, the "boy |
murderer" event bravely to
his DEATH at the age of l6.
When Is he had killed two
young men. Miller had an
almost mature mind, but that
it was anything like normal as
he walked to his fate with
out wavering, is absurd to
suppose. OF two other cases
that came under the observa-
ton of the writer the central
figures were full grown men.
They walked to the scatfold

one of them looked around for
the last time. He smiled and
cheerfully babe goodbye to a
number of acquaintance. This
was in a small western town.
After the man was dead they
laid him out on a bench in the
Jail corridor. The sports of the
town filed past this bier and
touched the hands "for luck.
His hands were pulled and blue
and so was his face and there
was a red streak around his
neck.
In spite of the cholera scare
and the consequent business
depression, (which by the way
we consider all nonsense, we

we sold a bicycle on Saturday
and have had a number of calls
and inquiries for our Monarch
and Tribune wheels. Riding
in the open air on a wheel is
an invigorating and healthful
exercise, and a great preventa-
tive of diseases. Our wheels
have taken a firm hold upon
the people of the islands, and
it is the popular and common
thing to ask man on a wheel
rs this Monarch or Tribune,
don't you like them, are they
not the best wheels 2" This
popularity must mean that
these bicycles are superior in
quality and price to other
makes and hence people talk
about what they know to be
the best.
The Honolulu Fire Depart
ment has been furnished with
the celebrated ball nozzle to
fight fires, and the chief of the
department speaks very highly
of it. The spray from these
nozzles is uniform in all direc-
tons and distributes the water
evenly, and when used at a fire
they make such a spread OF
moisture as to leave no place
for combustion. When used
as lawn sprinklers their supe-
riority is at once noticed, as
the grass is wetted so evenly
as to make the use of the bal
nozzle the nearest approach to
rain that has yet been invent
, ed. We have a number OF

an opportunity to own one We
are going to sell them at $l.5(

T was only case of incompatibility.
They grew quarrelsome by degrees
and over little things. AT first they
- made up laughingly, with quick
saress and tender word. They were real
quarrels and they hurt, but they were short,
and when she came back into his arms
after them she seemed even dearer than
before. Then came the slower, sullen
trouble. Beginning anywhere, the old ami
mosities kept coming up again and again.
There, Nell," he would say, wearily,
I'VE are at it again. We better stop" "
And the caress that marked their resump-
sion of amicable relations was forced in
stead of impulsive, and they got it over
quickly as they could. And then they grew
bitter. He stayed away from home as
much as he could, and she forgot to take
care of her personal appearance, and she
cried so much that her nose was always red
when he did come home.
One day he got up from the table with an
impatient fling and went into the library,
shutting the door with slam. Presently
the door opened slowly and she came in,
looking very quiet and little paler than
usual. He was standing with his back to
the open fire, and he did not move as she
came to him and put her two hands on his
shoulders.
"John," she said, this is awful. Can,
We help it?"
He looked at her heavily for a moment
and then deliberately took down her hands
and pushed her slowly away from him.
"Yes, Nell," he said, roughly, we
might help it, but your soft ways won,
help you any now"
She looked at him in silence and ther
turned and went quietly out of the room
He put on his over oat and went down
town When he came back in the evening
he had made up his mind to tell his wifi,
that he was ashamed of himself. but he die
not find her. He found little note in
stead. There was lunch spread out TO
him on the table, but he did not eat any O
it. The note said she had gone home to he
mother. She did not think she could max
him happy, and she was sure she was no
happy herself. She thought it better fo
them to live apart than go on as they ha
been. John swore a good deal. He trampe'
up and down the little library, smoking
cigar savagely. with his hands thrust dee
into his pockets. BY the end of year tn
cigar and the restless nightly walk had be
come habit.
1t was little more than year later tina
he received letter from her. 1t was YER
short and gentle. She thought it would b
better for both of them if they were free
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1895-12-19

She did not think it was right for her to
keep his name. The letter was gentle.
That was all. She had written it out and
pruned it and cried over it, and then she
had copied it on fresh sheet of note-paper
so that none of the tears blotted the page
that he saw.
John walked the floor little later than
usual that night, and he smoked an addi-
tional cigar. He wrote two or three letters
to her The one he sent said she was no
doubt right. She might make any change
she saw fit and he would not oppose her. A
little later the papers were served on him.
He was sitting in his study one evening
when he suddenly remembered that the
trial was set for the next day. He was not
to be present He had planned an excur-
sion somewhere, but now he wanted to go
not to enter a Defence but as spectator
1t was the closing scene of his life tragedy.
All the actors come before the footlights as
the curtain goes down. He felt that he ought
to be there. He took an early train the
next morning for the city where the trial
was to be held. He bought parlor-car
seat, but went into the smoker to finish
cigar.
She had taken the same train from her
fathers home two stations back. She was
going down alone and her father was to
meet her at the depot. She was glad to be
alone, she thought, as she leaned her head
wearily against her hand on the window
ledge.
When he came in from the smoker he
took the only vacant seat 1t was just be-
hind hers. They recognized each other of
course. There was a moments hesitation,
and then each bowed gravely. 1t was per-
fectly natural for them to bow, and yet it
seemed strange to both of them. He sat
down behind her and took up newspaper

ears had grown any grayer or larger, and

to do. She remembered that once she had

grow-and a big hot tear rolled down her
cheek Then she Strengthened up and tried
to read.
John did not get interested in his news

pletely hid her from his view. He tried to
imagine how she looked. but his imagina-

utterly. He wished she would swing around
little in her chair Why did she sit there
so quiet and still7 1t made him impatient.
Then he laughed at himself and tried two
or three times to go back to his newspaper
Presently one of the little incidents that
happen so often on railway train occurred.

her hand on his arm.

said, frigidly, to the stranger. This gen.

"Oh. Lord p" exclaimed the man who
had interfered Several of the passengers

was looking, and his interest was aroused.
When the train stopped at way-station
to allow the passengers to lunch, she did
not get up. John went out. and came back

The controversy between Committe- man Mitchell, of Los Angeles. and Chair man Gould of the California democratic state committee has brought out some queer expressions from many democrats throughout the Golden State. One gem of intrinsic thought comes from Ira W. Packard, of San Diego. He writes:
 "As an old democrat, want to enter my protest against committing the party to the heresy of free silver That road leads to dishonor as we'll as defeat. No party can win in this country today, in this age of enlightenment, that cuts loose from the intelligence of the country, and ap. peals to the ignorant part of the popula. tion. Intelligence will win in the long run, no matter if they are iu @ minority at the start Let the popuIists have the silver men. But If the democratic party ever expects to regain the confidence of the country we have got to show that we are party of principle; be willing rather to suffer defeat than win in the wrong. Stand by our noble president. He will get his right place in history with Lincoln and Jackson, in the years to come men will be proud to say, I was a Cleveland democrat But 1 don't think you will hear any boosting that they were 'sgin him."
 Did any intelligent reader ever con. ceive ot the vast amount of overweening party bigotry contained in such small spacef As an old democrat Mir. Packard shoui1 be invested with large pair of ears and no stone should be tied to his tail so that his assinine bray may have no impeachment.
