"What Is the Mission of Culture?' DIR.
Whitman said:
"Manifestly not life of ease. Posses
sion is power. Power is obligation OPP
portunity is imperative to action Gull
ture is to action. Culture is possession
and power opportunity. Its miss On lisa

heart, recalling the history of its own de-
velopment, recognizing the sphere with
in which it has the right to speak, I'M
pressing itself upon the worlds life for
the answering of hard questions and re-
lief of need. !"
Among other things, he said:
"The power, that rules the world is not
simply love, but law. 1t is not weak
ling or dwaffed divinity, but divine
righte BUSINESS that would make men
righteous. Forward is the way marked
by Abraham and beaten hard blythe
feet of all the saints who have followed
1 him. What men most need is renewal
Fof the impulse born Of fresh hope.
The secret, of this life is personality.
The crowning element of Inspiration IN
every age has been contact with per-
sonality able to impart its own life and
power. odCfluCc ID tuo LAW VI ploSlooo.
The world lives through those who
make their lives an offering for the good

There is such thing as reasonable

In man himself is the deepest pledge
that one day equities and dependencies

In this country the f1rSt agricultural
experiment. station was begun at Wes-
leyan university, Middletown, Conn,
in 1875, though similar work had been
previously carried on at some OF the
agricultural colleges. California, North
Carolina and New Jersey were among
the first states to organize experiment
stations.
In 1887 congress passed what is pop
ularly known as the Hatch act, which
gives to each state and territory SIS 900
a year from the national treasury for
the maintenance of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station. Agricultural expert
ment stations are now in operation IN
der the act of congress March 2, 1887,
in all the states and territories. Alaska
is the only section Of the United States
which has no station. In each of the
states Of Alabama, Connecticut, New
Jersey and New York a separate station
is maintained wholly or in part by the
state funds, and in Louisiana station
for sugar experiments is maintained
mainly by funds contributed by sugar
nlanters In several other states sub
stations. have been established. Exclud-
ing the branch stations, the total num-
Der of stations in the United States is

There remains no doubt but that corn
harvesting machines have come to stay.
The New England Homestead reports
that nearly 10000 of one make alone
have been sold this year, in addition to
an immense number of other machines
1t says:
The machines will doubtless be much
improved, and only after a corn har-
vester has been actually used for one OF
two years by the farmer in doing prac-
tica1 work can, it be said to be an as
sured success. The Mccormick, for in
stance, which cuts and binds the corn in
bundles, harvested 100 acres of corn in
1890, and was. supposed to be perfect
then, but before it was put in the hands
of the farmers the manufacturers felt
it necessary to spend four years upon
it and to test it all the way from the
sugar cane Of Texas and Louisiana to
the 10 foot corn in the, Wabash bottoms,
the squaw corn of Dakota and the Yam
kee corn of Vermont.
A machine to husk corn and put it
into the wagon box has now been de-
vised. The idea is old and it remains to
be seen whether this latest candidate
will be aeuccess. Years ago such ma
chine would have had large market,
but now the farmers recognize that
cornstalks, if properly cut, cured and
fed, are worth just as much per acre as
the best hay. The demand for ma
chine of this type will be limited to
those farmers who are still willing to
waste their corn fodder, or only partial
ly utilize it by turning the stock into
the cornfelds after plucking the ears.

THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Sentiment ip Favor OF Reorganization
But Not Combination.

But Not Combination.
Washington City. Dec. 2.-After the ad-
journment OF the senate the Republican
caucus met Mr.. Sherman was elected
chairman OF the caucus. and Mr.. Dubois
secretary. The discussion was informal.
and centered around the question whether
the Republican senators. having plurali-
ty but not a majority OF the senate,
should attempt a reorganization with Re-
publican officers and Republican chair
men OF committees. II was evident that the
prevailing feeling favored Republican or
ganlzation, and some strong speeches were
made, notably by Mr.. Davis, OF Mlnneap-
oils. and Mr. Aidrich. of Rhode Island,
urging that there would be no combination
or promise with any element outside the
Republican ranks. This appeared to voice
the general view OF the senator's,
and no opposition speeches were
made The question arose, however, as to
whether the test of strength should be
made by securing the committees or on
the choice OF a president pro TEN. In or
der TO present this issue, Mr.. Hoar moved
the appointment Of a committee or COM
mittees to have charge Of movement 10
secure committee reorganization on Re-
publican lines. Mr.. Hale offered an
amendment for a test on the choice OF a
president pro TEN. In the informal dis
cussion following. Mr.. Fryes name was
mentioned as the probable candidate for
president pro TEN. Some senator's raised
the point. however, that the president pro
tenn. could not be elected while the pre-
siding officer was present and acting I'M
der the senate rules. II was finally decid-
ed that no vote should be taken at pres
ent and Messrs. Hoar and Hale withdrew
their motions.
The understanding was that a definite
line OF action would be agreed on at the
meeting Wednesday, following the session
o. that day. The principal reason for the
withdrawal OF resolutions for the appoint
ment OF a caucus committee by the chair
was the discovery OF the fact that there
was a large clement in the caucus OPP
posed TO the selection of a committee by
appointment II is now understood that
when the resolution is renewed Il will be
antagonized by a substitute providing for
the selection OF the committee b. the
caucus.

New York Republicans Threaten to
Split the Party.


New York, Dec. 2.-william Brookfeld.
Cornelius n. Bliss, Gen Arson c. McCook
and other leaders OF anti-Platt Republic
ans, Will hold meeting this week 10 de-
eide on steps to effect change IN the
methods of Republican organization OF
this city. The date and place OF meeting
Mr.. Brookfeld said. has not yet been fix
ed. But" he added, Il shall do all in
my power TO bring together all the Re
publicans who believe that reform is nee
essary." Are you in favor of starting a
new organization?' II do not care to ex-
press any point just now" Mr.. Brook
field replied. II will say, however, that
q change is necessary, whether il is ac-
complished by bolt or by a fight within
the organization. We have tried the fight
within and have not been very successful.
What viii be done next year is yet to be
determined II seems 10 me that the only
way 10 bring about anything like harmony
is for the Republican county committee
to elect for its chairman some broad-gaug-
ed, liberal-minded Republican, who has
not been identified with any faction and
who stands for clean methods in politics.
If that course IS not followed, something
else VIII have to be done"
The meeting Of the anti-Platt leaders
win probably take place early this week,
as the Republican primaries will be held
next Tuesday night. II Is not believed
that the leaders will decide to make much
of fight at the primaries. 1t seems to
be the intention first to appeal to the Plat
men 10 retire Lauterbach and place at the
head Of the county committee man such
as Mr.. Brookfield directs. II the appeal
is ignored. then the threat made last week
by Cornelius n. Bliss may be carried into
effect. Mr.. Bliss at the time recalled the
Folger campaign of 1882, and intimated
that history might repeat itself next year
If the Plat people persisted in their pres
emf course

lay in the assertion that Hopkins misappros

these funds should have been applied.
A big man sitting on a window sill be-

withdrew, having lost the political battle,
