An ex-Catholic priest by the
name of Slattery, accompanied by
his wife, an ex-nun, who is trave-

Catholicism. delivered alecture at
Savannah, Ga, on the night of the
26th inst, in which he denounced
the Catholic religion and la uded
some of the secret societies, de-
clsring that he vas Q msmber of
them. The event created much
excitement, mob of 1000 or
5000 gathered for the avowed pur-
pose of lynching the renegade
priest. A desperate assault was
made upon the hall where Slate

and doors were smashed in ter
rible way. The full military force
of the city was called out and re-

The Living Issue.

The talk or breakup III Tile
two great political parties grows,
especially at Washington, and the
talk is all on the part Of those
from the South and West. The
silverites contend that the coming
battle cannot be fought within the
lines of either the Democratic or
Republican party, SO long as both
are under the domination Of Eas-
tern capitalists. They insist that
the cause of silver alone is wor-
thy of a separate party.-Monroe
News.
Democracy has been stabbed
almost to death by Cleveland in
support Of the gold standard, re-
CARELESS of the principles of the
party to which he is indebted for
the great honors conferred upon
him. There can be no substan-
tial prosperity in the United Sta
ties SO long as the Cleveland-Car-
Isle idea of finance prevails.
The people we're promised relief
with the repeal of the silver pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman
act; the people were told that the
tsri6 bill when passed would as
sure relief and prosperity, and the
people are told that the trouble
lies with few "cranks" who want
to force the "debased" silver dol
lar on the country instead of the
"honest" gold dollar, to maintain
which the Cleveland Carlisle CON-
bine have saddled nearly three
millions of indebtedness on the
countrysby issuing gold bonds up
on which the money sharks have
|profted and indirectly robbed the
people Of millions of dollars. Ne
YER in the history Of the republic
has party assumed charge of the
Igovernment in all it's branches
under more promising auspices
land prospects Of indefinite con-
troll than did Democracy. which,
unfortunately, foisted a mug
wump in the presidential chair.
To-day the Democracy which car
ried victory over the country like
an avalanche, scarcely two years
ago, is sdispirited and demoralized,
and it seems almost impossible to
unite the elements which have
been divided by Cleveland's in
sane policy of rule or ruins The
trend Of the times are not sindica-
tive of success for the national
Democracy, but whatever be the
result, the living issue is the fight
against the single : gold basis,
which puts millions Of dollars IN
the jobbers' pockets under the
plea of maintaining the govern
ment's credit, which has discre-
dited by Cleveland's great feat in
secret financiering with a clever
lot of money sharks. The living
issue IS presented will be met by
the people, by the sovereigns be-
fore whom Cleveland and his COM
bine must yield at last.-Cauca-

blue quilted silk muslin with bows Of rib
bon and lunches of myosotis adds to its
effectiveness. If the pretty wearer can
only keep her gray gloves on to hide tho
suspicious newness of her ring she may
pass for a lady welded at least five years.
The retail stores are not showing much
that is new yet except IL few small matters
Among them l notice some corded wash
silks which are very pretty indeed. There
is much taffeta in crisp quality and deli
cate cOlors, mostly fancy stripes. There
are figured chinas with black grounds, very
suitable for house gowns The heavy white
habutai silks are extremely nice for tea
gowns tea jackets and garments of that
sort. There is new cannole tatfeta in
lovely chameleon colors and great variety
of new striped silks and satins and silks
with satin stripes. There are many
changcable brOcadcs and jacquard tatfctas.
Satin duchess is also shown in nearly ev
cry color There is also "A large line of
heavy black grosgrain with swivel weave
figures Grosgrain, plain and figured, will
he greatly liked, but it is probable that
the corded faille will be the favorite heavy
silk.
1t is not always the newest goods that
prove the most popular, for l find that the
standard qualities of wooden dress goods
are being prepared for fall gowns quite as
much as the newer fancics Fine black
| and blue French and English serges are
among the goods used layishly by the large
dressmaking houses. English mohair,
plain and swivclcd, is seen in many ele-
giant suits. English corduroys and velu-
! tinas are being made for late fall walking
! suits and bicycle costumes Navy blue,
! smoke, lead and brown storm cheViots are
| among the standard goods which vary but
| slightly from those heretofore seen, and
! they are among the best values offered.
| Storm serges and cravanatted serges are
also shown in new colors, among them u
very deep rich prune with a crimson cast
in it. There is also a line of carnclian mo
hair with almost every color represented.
Black silk and wool gloria 10 inches wide
is presented in every imaginable color.
All these are smooth face fabrics. Besides
them the broadcloths with a rich satiny
surface and the "busheled" broadcloth are
all seen. The cloth dresses will be among
the handsomest Of the seasons output
Some will be tailor finished, some braided
richly, and some will have bands Of as
trakhan or Persian lamb cloth or fur lat
err ON. The covert cloths show warmer col
orings and richer effects than ever before
as this material has generally been solely
for those with tastes for refined but mod
est effects.
All these are aside from the furry, fuzzy
stuffs that are to be worn later. These
will speak for themselves and cannot fail
to win instant popularity. They look
SO warm and coy. MATE LEROY.

THE NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
Hs Lot as Compared with Farmers In
the Northwest.

Us Lou as compared WIN IN
the Northwest.
Among the farmers Of the United |
States the New England farmer is pc
culiarly fortunate in his surroundings, !
according to the comparisons made by a |
writer i'll the New England Homestead,
who appears to have had experience on
farms both east and west He says the |
New England farmers markets for
small amounts of produce are only three
to ten miles away in the factory vii |
lagos, or if he has larger amount that
cannot readily be marketed i'll factory
villages he can place his produce in
either of several cities by paying for 100
miles of cheap transportation. His west
ern brother must pay for at least / 900
miles of transportation, which often
costs more thim one-half the price of his
crop after the market is reached
The New Eng land farmer takes some
thing to market nearly every week in
the year, and if the produce is in salable
condition he can always expect some re-
turn, while his western brother has to
wait six months at time before he can
hope to realize on his main crop, and if
he tries to trade some small produce like
butter and eggs for the neceSsaries to
support his family in the meantime, he
is apt to be told by the general supply
merchant that "the market is overstOck
ed already" There is then no choice for
him Ia, to go in debt for his supplies
until after the next harvest. These must
be paid for out of his main crop when
it comes to market At that time the
supply merchant will begin to press for
payment, and that will force him to sell
at price leaving him at the mercy Of
the supply merchant for another year.
Meanwhile the New England farmer
has paid his way all summer, and if in
the fall he has any crop to sell, what
ever that brings him may be rcckoned
as the profits of the season.
When the western farmer is about to
begin going i'll debt for winter fuel and
other supplies, the New England farm
er betakes himself to his wood lot,
where he can cut IA years supply Of fuel
at his leisure. If repairs are needed on
buildings or fences he can provide the
material at little above cost Of his own
labor, or if he needs finer lumber than
his own wood lot and the nearest saw
mill can supply he can take Il load Of
chestnut posts to the nearest lumber
yard and exchange for what he needs.
All this time, with his cellar we'll
stocked with sailed meats fruits and
vegetables, and his poultry yards full
of fowls, he suffers no anxiety on ac-
count Of a bill at the supply merchants.
While the western farmer and his fam
| lily are shivering overa COW manure fire
in a sod shanty Of two rooms, and the
cattle are eating wheat straw and los
ing ears and tail i'll the blizzard, the
New England farmer can read his paper
by wood fire i'll his ten room frame
house, in the happy consciousness that
his cattle are eating good hay in warm
stable.

Thousands Of acres in the middle and
southern states are being seeded tC
crimson clover, which in Delaware is
exerting as much excitement as alfalfa
has raised III the central west, while
experiments with crimson clover are be-
ing made III New England and also III
the ceetral and western states. A Della
ware farmer tells i'll The New England
Homestead that crimson clover is one of
the best crops to use i'll connection with
Orcharding trucking or berry growing,
1t fills the rotation exactly. For instance,
plant peas in the spring and follow with
tomatoes for the cannery as soon as the
peas are off. When you lay tomatoes by,
seed with crimson clover. Thus the
ground is occupied with some crop all
the time, and in the following May, if
soil and season have been favorable you
will have a crop Of clover two or three
feet high to cut for hay or ensilage and
a good crop Of stubble and roots to turn
under to enrich the soil. Corn, potatoes
or any other crop may follow. This is
only one instance. Many orchards are
seeded with the clover, either to plow
under as a fertilizer or to be cut for hay.

Seed Wheat.

We know now for certainty that
great deal of the wheat rust is brought
ON our farms through the seed, and the
spores of the rust are held over from
year to year in the seed. Seed that is
taken from the field where the rust has
been prevalent should always be subject
to the hot water test. The seed we pur-
chase from seedsmen should also be
treated in this way for we know not
how many rust spores may be in the
seed to begin growing when the favor
able conditions are given. The hot wa
ter test is the only sure way Of killing
rust If done properly, there is no dan
ger of injuring the vitality of the seeds,
while all the spores Of disease will be
thoroughly destroyed, writes an Ameri-
can Cultivator correspondent.

AS soon as the hop harvest is over,
growers ought to set their yards in order
by gathering the loose vines and burn
ing them on some adjoining plowed field.
If burned in the yards, there is danger
of injuring the roots by the heat. The
poles should also be stored for next
years use.
The hop roots require care and protec-
ton in the fall. Many growers protect
by compost from the barnyard or sta
bic which prevents freezing when there
is but little snow to cover them.

When to Cut Corn Fodder.

A Country Gentleman correspondent
writes:
The best time to cut the corn is when
the ears are glazed and the husks turn
ing white. Cut at this time not only is
the fodder at its best, but there will be
no shrinkage Of corn and the ears will
be we'll filled ont with plump, heavy
grain. Quite late in the season, when
the weather is cool and there is danger
Of frost, late corn may be cut up green
and will cure out without danger of
shrinkage or Of the fodder souring
AS Il rule, prefer large shocks, 1870
to II hills to the shock, as less Of the
fodder will be exposed to the weather
and a large shock cures ont almost as
soon as a small one When the field is
to be put in wheat, prefer to carry 20
rows on each side Of the shock row and
make the shocks by 40 hills, which
MAKES them as close as they can stand
in the row. 1t Will cost l cent to .
more per shock but is great conven-
fence i'll sowing the wheat and enables
you to get the corn and fodder off with
very little trampling Of the wheat.

The foregoing, written before the
vacation, is borne out by the actual
history OF the vacation.
The excitement as well as the
"hard times" were sufficient reasons
why the boys were unable in any
instance to find employment in
town. When it is remembered that
on former vacations there have been
many boys employed by various
firms in town, the shortage ia our
aggregate wages is readily under
stood.
AS il was, our boys found work in
clearing glue from two neighboring
ranches and in making needed i'm
provements on our own place. The
wages were in all cases moderate
and suited to the times aud the
boys ability. The following are
the facts:
Most of the boys worked, though
not all for wages. The number OF
boys who received any wages was
seventy. The amount varied from
80 40 to 1890. The time was three
weeks or sixteen working days. The
total amount earned 10y all the boys
was Sl2l 80 or S4.35 for each boy, in
Guiding the twenty five boys who
did not earn any wages.
These facts need no comment
though they fairly "itch" to pro.
woke comparisons with those in
other countries dealing with "more
ambitious races"
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1895-03-06

Whatever the leaders OF the rebel
lion may have expected it to become,
it was not race war. That many
Hawaians might have sympathized
strongly with the rebel cause, and
that they might have flocked to its
support had it given any promise OF
success, is not ouly probable but
natural In most instances, how
ever, "horse- sense" (some people
prefer to call it cowardice) got the
better OF sentimentality, and the
mass OF the Hawaiians did not
"novk."
Again, whatever diabolical plots
have been disclosed, and however
fondly the leaders may have hoped
for co operation in their dynamite
schemes, the Hawaiians as a class
were never constituted nor adapted
for any such work.
Calmer aud maturer judgment on
the part of those who were born and
brought up on these islands will
confirm this statement: it would re-,
quire a frenzy tn fire the rank and
file OF the Hawaiians to the slaughter
planned for them. The history OF
the past hundred years furnishes no
precedent with the possible excep-
ton Of the short passionate out
break-Hawaiian against Hawaiian
over the election OF Kalakaua.
From whence was any such frenzy
expected to arise! The patriotism,
self interest, sense OF wrong (call it
what you may) has never been great
enough among the Hawaiians to
have kindled it--certainly not at the
present time.
The support the Republic has re-
ceived at the hands of its native Off
GERS aud policemen has been sufli-
cient refutation OF another popular
delusion, that the Hawaiians were
towards.
They need better motives, how
ever, than were or could have been
furnished by the leaders Of the late
rebellion.
