EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Ez-President Harrison is a good man. but his
legs are short. Should he, as his friends predict
try to stand with one foot Oh gold and the other
on silver, his attitude will be neither graceful
nor dignifed-New York Times.
Harrison viii never be reelected president as
a compromise candidate on the silver question.
It's pretty safe to say that the next president
will be either an out-and-out sOund-money man
or he will be an oUt-and-out free silver man.
Louisville Courier-Jounal.
The wicked, wanton, villanious and damnable
act of striking down one-half of the legal tender
is just beginning to bear fruit The hope of a re-
turn Of former prosperity will never be granted
until silver is the money of redemption on a
parity with gold.-Cincinnati Enquirer
The Chicago letter and Secretary Morton S
addendum indicate that President Cleveland
has fully determined to become the Moses of
monOmetallism, The result will probably be
that the Democratic party viii utterly repudiate
the man they elected, and that he and his fol
lowing viii be laughed out of politics.
Notwithout good reason are the Democrats of
the south and the west charging that Mr.. Cleve-
land obtained their votes for president as a
friend of bimetallism and equal coinage rights
for both metals, and is now using the great pres
tige and power of his office, to which he climbed
on bimetallic and free silver SURFACES, to sur
render his party, bag and baggage, to the gold
standard.-New York Recorder.
The efforts which AFRO baine mt f,rtI, 10 ~.
ganize distinct silver party, are, of course, a
fair subject for Fidicule. Such efforts judging
from present indications, are bound to end in
failure. They are certain to end in failure,
however, from the very reason that the move
ment IN favor of free silver coinage is a matter
of grave Importance. The silver sentiment is so
strong in many sections of the west that it
threatens to dominate at least one of the exist
ing political parties,-New York Advertiser.

QUEER things happen in Indiana. Ae-
cording to the Indianapolis Sentinel a
man in Anderson, that state, recently
sold his wife and all mis- household eff
fects to a neighbor for so. The man
first offered to sell the woman and the
furniture for S., but his neighbor gen.
erously gave him SIS in cash and his
note for $40. Many women would be
glad to dispose Of their husbands for
even less, and would think they had
made a good bargain if they could give
them away. Many men, especially
counts and dukes, sell themselves to
the highest female bidder in the United
States and elsewhere, and it has been
said that women sometimes do the
same thing, though this idea is chiefly
encouraged by erusty old bachelors.

DECORATION DAY.

Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest,
On this field of the grounded arms,
Where foes no more modest,
Nor sentry's shot alarms
Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
1T the cannOn's sudden roar
Or the drum Tedoubiing beat
But in this camp of Death
No sound your slumbeT breaks;
Here is no feveTed breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.
All is repOSe and peace,
UntTampled lies the sod:
The shouts of battle cease
1t is the truce of God
Rest, comrades, rest and sleep;
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from dangers free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.

1 looked again, and saw that fiowery space
Stirring, as if alive, beneath the tread
That rested now upon an old mans head,
And now upon babys gasping face
Or mothers bosom, OF the rounding grace
Of a girls throat; what and had seemed the red
OF flowers was blood, in gout5 and gushes shed
From hearts that broke under that frolic pace
And now and then from out the dreadful floor
An arm or brow was lifted from the rest,
As if to strike in madness, OF implOre
For mercy; and anon some suffering breast
Heayed from the mass and sank; and as before
The jewellers above them thronged and pressed.

On WITH THE DANCE.

! looked and saw a splendid pageantry
Of beautiful women and of Iordly men,
Taking their pleasure in a fowery plain.
Where the peoples and the red anemone,
And many another leaf of cramOisy
Flickered about their feet and gave their stain
To heels of iron or satin, and the grain
Of silken garments, floating far and free,
As in the dance they wove themselves, or strayed
By two together or likely smiled and bowed,
Or cOurtesied to each other, OF else played
At games of mirth and pastime, unafraid
In their delight; and all so high and proud,
They seemed scarce of the earth wherein they
trod,

ALIEN LAND OWNERSHIP.


Governor Stone Of Missouri, has
signed a bill prohibiting the acquire
ment of land by alien persons or cor
porations. Residents Of Missouri who
have not become citizens of the United
States are barred, as well as persons
who never saw this country. Such a
law may appear harsh, but it is right,
and it is in harmony with public senti-
ment. Millions Of acres of improved
and unimproved agricultural land, and
a great deal of mining property in this
country, are owned by foreigners; and
while foreign ownership is not likely to
make any particular difference for a
while at least. the time might come
when it would not be at ali desirable to
have the citizens of other countries too
much interested in our material wealth.
Railways and industrial plants are
business enterprises that are more or
less speculative in character, but in
Vestments in lands are not only per-
manent, but it means English land
ownership and Irish tenantry in prin-
ciple, if not in fact. All that sort of
thing we should avoid. Land owner
ship in this country should mean
homes for citizens of this country, but
foreign ownership means elegant leis-
ure in Europe at the expense Of the
labor of American tenants. Is is well
enough to go on the principle that
America is for Americans, in so far as
owning land is concerned. The time
might come when we would be sorry
that we had not enforced that doctrine.

The Farmer and Stockman says that
hogs fed on wheat are now coming in
to the market, and they are not PROV
ing good sellers. Buyers discriminate
against them, because they do not
show the fine finish and ripe condition
found in hogs fed on corn. It's con
clusion is that hogs fed on wheat
ought to be finished off on corn. 1t
may be, however. that this is only a
prejudice on account of Wheat-fed
hogs not presenting the appearance
which buyers have learned to regard as
the test of excellence. The proof of
the pudding is in the eating, and when
the wheat-fed pork comes TO the table
we shall know more about its real
value. There is nothing in wheat feed
ing to make poor pork, though if fed
alone in too large amounts it viii
create fever and injUTe the quality Of
pork made from it.

Wrap Your Fruit.

Yakima goes to st. Paul for many an
idea these days. That is, Yakima pro-
ducers do. One Of the latest bits OF ad-
vice which comes to us from the city by
the big river is no new one, yet it accents
fact hitherto frequently commented
upon by The HERALD-that fruit growers
should see to it that their output is prop
erly, not to say decently prepared for the
retail and wholesale trade Of the east or
its tributary points in the middle west,
st. Paul, Omaha or st. Louis.
Recent tips" from the twin cities are
to the effect that California fruit Of in
ferior quality when placed side by side
with the choicest Yakima sortings, sells
for more and is more readily disposed of
than the latter. Indeed, retailers and
commission men profess penchant for
the handling of Yakima fruit; yet they
say that II is often left upon their hands
to rot while inferior grades are disposed
of Immediately upon their receipt. The
whole and only trouble arising in the
packing.
California growers learned by expert
ence, painful and expensive, what it
meant to ship in q careless way the
choice peaches and apples Of their orch
ards. Yakima bids fair to follow in the
same footsteps-though why she should
is mystery. Wrapping paper will re-
tail in Yakima at &c per pound this fall,
decrease Of 1@4c in the price charged
last year. At this figure almost any
grower can afford to take the utmost care
OF his fruit tor shipment, and the output
from every orchard should consequently
be q grand advertisement for the section
as q whole. If only few growers use
the wrapping paper and sort their fruits,
those who do not will simply aid in Civ
ing the valley its usual black eye in this
respect. 1t is time every orchsrdist in
this county began giving this subject
serious consideration. Not penny is
lost in preparation and packing of the
right nature. The increased returns will
more than pay for the time and expense
incurred. In addition, the fruits of Yak
ina will soon begin to occupy their right
full place in the markets OF the United
states-something which would result in
such fsr-reaching fame and be followed
by such wonderful results as to astonish
even the ssnguine gentlemen who proph-
esy 90 much for this valley within the
next few years.
Behold, how little matter great
fire kindlethp' Here is means for con-
fagration, the flames from which would
send their embers to the four winds Of
MISUNDERSTANDING us in such manner
as California and Florida alone could
fully appreciate. They profited by such
means. Why should Yakima not emu
late them?
