eta, Ga, where well known planter
has quite quantity of that curious
stuff, every stalk of which is a deep red,

novel crop comes from planting seeds
obtained six or seven years ago from
fresh stalk of red cotton found grow
ing in Florida.

preserved food product of the Pacific
coast. A Washington concern engaged
in the business Of preparing evaporated

menting with potatoes, and finds that,
prepared in this way, they will keep

practically all their food value.

THE fountain cannot rise higher than
its source. A legislature is apt to be a
fair representative of the morals OF a
people as well as of its political sover-
eighty. If corruption can control the
choice of a United States senator by a
legislature, the same influences and
practices that succeed with the repre-
sentatives would very likely prevail
with the principal-the people. An es.
teemed correspondent expands some
of the points briefly made by the
WATCHMAN last week. The conclusive
force of these objections to popular SEN
atorial elections can hardly be gainsaid

THE Defender has beaten the
"Vigilant" in not very serious trial
of her powers for speed. All this pre-
liminary fourishing is interesting, but
just what every Yankee wants and ex-
poets Of the defender is to lick the
Britisher out of sight when he comes
over to try for the Americas cup.
People that don't care continental for
a baseball or football match, or horse
race or any other kind of race, have
their eyes and their patriotism on this
race. Every American expects the
Defender" to do her duty-excepting,
perhaps, those emasculated types who
pipe "jingoism " at every suggestion of
contest with foreigner.

SENATOR BLACKBURN Of Kentucky
is for the free coinage of silver. The
democratic state committee doesn't pro.
pose to make any engagements for the
senator on the stump during the can
vass, but the senator proposes to make
canvass of his own and to spoil the
democratic purpose to smother silver
and currency discussion. The repub-
lican party and candidate in Kentucky
are on the same, and the right, side OF
the silver question, and the democracy,
whose platform is on one side and can
didate for governor on the opposite
side, may have chance to accept or re.
ject proposal for joint discussion Of
the silver question. The canvass in
Kentucky promises to be interesting.

THE American armored cruiser "Co.
lumbia," which took part in the cele.
bration at Kiel, is under orders to race
against time from Southampton, Eng.
to New York, following the track of the
great liners. That the race may be
made under the best conditions, the
ship has been put into dry dock to clean
and paint her hull. The homeward
voyage will be made under regular
service conditions. All her boilers
will be used, but with natural draught.
No effort will be made to force the yes.
sci, except during the last twenty-foul
hours, when forced draught will be ap,
piled, and the columbia will be
asked to show what she can do in an
emergency. No doubt she will cover
with new glory the name she bears
and prove herself 4" the gem of the
ocean,"

The delegates of the Christian En-
deavor Societies of the country, fifty
thousand strong, assembled in Boston
last week. 1t was an inspiring gather
ing and sign of hope and courage for
those whose faith in the vigor and
power of the moral and religious forces
of the nation may have been weak or
wavering. Fifty thousand young men
and women, representatives of millions
of the pride of the land, its virtue and
character, have been together in counsel,
and have separated, each one carrying
away the impress of the associated en-
thusiasm and prepared to renew in every
corner of the land, with fresh zeal and
increased efficiency, the great work of
the organization. Its influence upon
the good fortunes of the country is be-
yond estimate, and the area of this good
influence is as wide as the spirit and
purpose of true Christianity. 1t over
flows limitations of church and creed
The citizenship and the cause of good
government are very properly prime
objects of its solicitude and labors.
These formed the keynote for ringing
addresses at the recent meeting. The
growth of the organization is something
marvellous. From the first inception Of
the idea, in the parish of Portland
church, for local service, in 1881, it has
developed into a chain of associations
numbering over 1000 links and mem
bership of nearly two and one-half mil
lions. During the year just ended, 7,75(
new societies have been organized
showing that the limits of its capacity
for rapid expansion have not beer
reached. Annual conventions hav,
been held since the first organization o
the society. In the convention of 1886
at Saratoga Springs, 1000 delegates
were present. In 1890, 5000 assembled
at st. Louis. The number has grown
with the growth of the internationa
organization till, as we have seen, 80,
600 delegates, full of the zeal and higl

the people were aware of it d ff0O1t was

water falling reached from two to
three feet.

flow of water was diverted &-om its

Last Evening.

L
Last Evening.
Professor Gentry's dog and pony
show began weeks engagement
under canvas on Fourth South street
near Main last night. The large tent
was comfortably filed and everyone
present was well pleased with the little
animals. The performance is entirely
different from anything ever seen here
before and much better than expected.
The company consists of nearly one
hundred dogs and ponies all thoroughly
trained. The performance opened
with a military drill by the ponies.
They marched and executed all the
various commands in a most intelli-
gent manner. The clown pony especi-
ally delighted the audience with his
antics.
After this act the dogs were given a
chance to display their talents, which
they did in a very satisfactory man
ner. The Snyder Family" imper-
sonated by three little dogs, showed
how dog would act married Mr..
Snyder willingly propelled the baby
carnage, a thing not always done by
his superiors. ProbablyIthe feature of

little dog Barney who is an accom-
plished athlete, easily turning a dozen
complete back somersaults This is
said to be the most difficult feat that
an animal ever accomplished. The
grayhounds do some remarkable leap
ing, and the entire programme is ex-
cellent. 1t is safe to say that it is the
best attraction of its kind that ever
visited this city. The animals perform
their various acts with q willingness
that is surprising, and due to the fact
that they have been educated by kind
ness and seem TO take ar actual de-
light in displaying their talent. The
performance is one that can be en-
Joyed and appreciated by all and is
well worth going to see.
