Christmas Song.

Why do bells for Christmas ringf
Why do little children singl
Once lovely shining star
Seen by shepherds from afar
Gently moved until its light
Made o hangers cradle bright
There darling baby lay
Pillowed soft upon the hay,
And its mother sang and smiled,
"This is Christ, the holy child"
Therefore bells for Christmas ring;
Therefore little children sing.

DIED IN HARNESS.
Rabi sheresfsky Finishes His Dis
course and Dies.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 3d.
Louis Sheresfsky, Jewish rabbi, in
charge of the Sparrah Tehlla, was
stricken with death yesterday just
after finishing his sermon and his
wife became a raving maniac. The
rabbi had complained OF not being
well before he entered the pulpit
and the weather was intensely hot,
which added to bis indisposition,
He labored hard during his sermon,
hesitating in his speech and occa-
sionally stopping altogether for
brief periods. He then sank into a
chair completely exhausted. After
taking a little water he started to
walk home, reached his door and
died in a few minutes. His wife,
during the church services, was
ministering to the needs Of sick
people and did not get to church.
Just as she was entering her door
a neighbor told her the terrible
news. With a cry she rushed into
the house and threw herself upon
the dead body of her husband. In
endearing terms she pleaded with
him to speak to her, tore the
clothes from his body, raised his
eyelids and chafed his hands. Then
ensued a terrible scene. She COM
pletely lost her reason and became
a raving maniac, broke the chairs,
demolished lot Of furniture and
smashed the disher. All the women
were frightened and ran from the
house. 1t took several men to
overpower the unfortunate woman
and remove her to a hospital.

IMPROVE THE SUFFRAGE.

| Texas did not do bright thing
even from a Democratic standpoint
when it refused the passage Of that
bill in the state legislature making
actual citizenship the prerequisite
of voting. The agitation over this
question of higher qualification for
the exercise OF the electoral fran
chise has come to stay and it is
taking a wide range. That it is
wholesome is beyond doubt. also
that along the lines of the contro-
versy will be found the remedies
for those evils that are complained
of in districts with a preponder-
ance OF Negro votes. tits not only
the Negro vote, but the vote Of that
great body OF ignorance OF which
the Negro is only part, that is to
be deprecated and which is such a
menace to the country. What is
required is radical change in the
qualifications Of voters, and this
change must be wrought by the
states in their legislation on this
subject. At the outset lies the need
Of such revision Of the laws as will
exclude all who are not really cit
liens. Any declaration to become
at some time in the future such
citizens is useless. What Is need
ed is the proof Of residence in the
country OF given number Of
years, and five is the least that
should be accepted. Upon such
proof and the remuneration Of all
allegiance to any foreign power
citizenship certificates should is
sue and that ought to settle the
matter. This in itself would be a
great improvement upon the
present confused and involved
method, beside having the merit
of sound sense to commend it.
Then after citizenship comes the
intelligent qualifications necessary
to entitle the citizens to be voter.
1t is a common idea that citizen
ship confers the right Of the
franchise. That it too often does
is the misfortune of the states, and
that is this so is the fault Of those
which have not care
fully guarded the ballot from
the incursions Of the ignorant and
venal. 1t is not often that the man
with decent education sells his
vote. He Is competent to take part
in the proceedings Of his party, and
is more loyal to it than one who
has nothing to tie him to anything
but his pocket book. Those who
complain at the South Of the Negro
vote, and those at the North who
complain Of the ignorant votes Of
the masses in the slums have no
one but themselves to blame. The
remedy lies in such state legisla-
ton as will preclude from the polls
these ignorant ones, regardless of
race or color or party. This Is the
remedy against Negro domination
at the South and also against
the overriding at the North
of the will OF the intelligent, by
hordes of uninstructed, mostly
those foreign in birth and in lam
guage. The agitation for increased
care in the exercise of the franchise
Is apparent, and Notwithstanding
the failure Of the late Legislature
to correct the evil in Texas there is
another Legislature to be elected
next year and opportunity to COR
rect the present abuses. 1t cannot
be that the present inattention and
criminal disregard Of what is for
the best will always exist.
The statement is made that Lon
don manufactures $1O,O00,000 of
umbrellas every year. She ought

Worth Thinking About.

The article in last weeks PRESS by
Mr.. Carroll on irrigation was timely,
and it's many good suggestions are
worthy of careful consideration.
More than this, they should stimu-
late to action. The recurring seasons
seem to impress more and more fully
upon us the fact that in these central
counties of the state we have not u
sulficiency of moisture. Why not
then, as suggested, bring a large and
abundant supply from the great res
ervoir which we know stretches every
where beneath our broad prairies.
While wishing fully to encourage and
endorse the siniiinS of artcsiaa wells,
we wish also to call attention to the
interesting and valuable experiments
OF Mr.. Campbell, now editor OF
western Soil Culture" in crop rails
ing in the dry belt. Mr.. Campbell
has four experiment stations-one in
the dry part OF Colorado, one invest
ern Nebraska, one in North Dakota
and one in South Dakota. Nh. Camp
bells theory is to conserve the natur.
al moisture w have by o. certain
method OF tillage-by sub-soiIing and
by sub-surface packing; and surely
the results of his several years of ex-
pesrimenting are very gratifying.
Every farmer in the county should
seek an acquaintance with Mr.. Camp
bells methods.
In localities where crops are an al
most total failure Mr.. Campbell has
this year, on his experiment farms,
a fine yield of grain. The method of
dealing with the soil is fully set forth
in Western Soil Culture" IA journal
for which Mr.. Blaine, of st. Lawrence
is taking subscriptions, and which
costs, we think, one dollar per year.
This subject is very interesting, and
is well worthy of careful consider
alton. y
