Farming BY Men WIN Cant 10 Il.

Farming has fascination for the men
who do not farm. Men who have been
successful In Other occupations incline
to the notion that they would have made
highly successful farmers. They are
able to give excellent advice to tue men
who have spent their lives on the farm;
and now and then they go as far as 10
buy land and teach the farmers by
object lessons how the thing should be
done.
Henry Watterson, who has been a
great success as an editor, has recently
broken forth in the C'ourics-JouJndl
with full explanation Of the reason
why farmers are not more successful.
Editor-Farmer Watterson relieves his
mind as follows:
The reason why farmers are not more
successful is perhaps mainly because OF
Their lack OF business training. Few keep
books, and fever comprehend how i'm.
| portant it is to know how to buy aud sell.
They have never been taught the import
ance OF watching the markets aud taking
| advantage of the legitimate stratagems of
trade. If they understood this, with the
| immunity from loss which they enjoy, we
should hear but little complaint that farm
4 ing is Improbable Most of the reports of
| agricultural depression come from the
West, yet one can 80 into any Western or
| Northwestern town and find large part OF
the property owned by the men who made
their money on the prairies and in the
valleys. These Westerners are more given
TO speculative farming than their brethren
III the East and south; but, while their
lands are more fertile, their expenses are
greater and they are subject to an uncer-
tain climate, which is, after all, the greatest
Zoe of agriculture.
In the crowded States of the Old World.
where the taxes and rents are enormous.
there is more basis for complaint from
farmers. In this country of cheap and fer
tile lands there is 10 other vocation man
can follow which promises such sure and
permanent rewards rs agriculture. The
tact that nondeseript political party de
| penis Tor Its existence OH assertions to the
contrary does not alter the fact
Horace Greeley was afflicted with the
same mental disease that now has hole
of Henry Wattersou. That disease drove
Greeley to farm it out at Chappaqua. /
cost him all he could make out of the
| New York Tribune to run the Chappaous
farm. The only profit he ever got of
Of his farm came from the delivery o
his famous lecture on "What l Know
About Farming"
Farmers may not know as much abou
business as business men do. 1t may b,
true that business training would be
valuable for farmers. But one thing il
certain. A farmer can and does max,
more out OF his farm than any editor o
business man could make out of 1t.
farm for anybody except farmer is a
expensive luxury as yacht.

The people of rural Delaware are
entering on a happy period of several
weeks in which they will be interested
in peaches good deal more than in
politics. The peach crop will probably
bring to the people on this Peninsula,
during the next two months, good
round million of dollarsA million dollars
is big sum Of money. II will be
divided among those who grow, those
who harvest, and those who transport
the crop Of luscious peaches now ripen-
ing in Peninsular orchards. OF course
the amount Of money realized from the
crop will be greater or less according to
the markets the fruit finds; and the
buoyancy of the markets will depend
In large measure upon the prosperity of
the masses OF the people in the cities
and towns to the north of us. In this
way our peach growing friends have q
direct and personal interest in the
reports which have been coming so thick
and fast Of the increase in wages
Workmen with increased wages will
feel better able to buy a basket OF
peaches, and when it comes to a large
crop Of peaches, it is in the working
classes that the growers must look for
consumers. There are not enough rich
and well to do people to cat all of the
fruit. The revival of prosperity through.
out the country means dollars and cents
to the Delaware peach growers in the
next two months.

How suddenly the Republican papers
dropped the subject Of the removal of
Prof. Harrington from the head of the
weather bureau How completely thew
have lett alone since it was dropped /
Prof. Harrington claimed that he was
removed for political motives, and that
the spirit of Civil Service Reform was
violated in his case. Republican papers
started in to make martyr of Prof.
Harrington. Why did they desist so sud-
denly2 Simply because the President
appointed in Prof. Harrington's stead
Prof. Willis L. Moore, who has worked
his way on merit from the foot to the
top of the ladder in tho weather service
corps. 1t also chances that Prof. Moore,
as well as Prof. Harrington, is Repub.
lican. So there was not the remotest
possibility Of attributing any partisan
motive to the President, and Republican
editors accordingly dropped the potato

Nothing succeeds like success. The
margin between success and failure Is
often narrow, but 1t makes all the diff
ference in the world TO the minimizing
crowd. Had the Cornell boys won at
Henley Wednesday they would have
been heroes. But they lost; fortune
went against them. 1t matters not that
they struggled CALAMITY and conducted
themselves under defeat as gallant
young gentlemen should. 1t is nothing
that their overwhelming defeat was due
to an accident. Tho great public is not
even willing to sit by the side of the de-
feated boys long enough to listen to the
story. They were defeated miserably
defeated-that is enough--away with
them So much difference does eight
boat lengths Of water make at the end
Of race.
But people of philosophic turn of
mind take different view of defeat, and
lind satisfaction in turning from the
shouting crowd which surrounds win
ners, to sit awhile in the tent of those
who lost. The Cornell boys exhibited
yesterday every manly characteristic in
which their fellow.countryme take
pride. They had been overturned and
consequently were not in perfect physi-
cal condition. They met with an acct
dent during the race. Those are the
two ingredients out of which the hui
initiation of defeat was brewcd.
Pluck they showed in abundance
They stuck to their task after hopeless
defeat had taken passage in their boat.
They pulled at the oars until they were
Mt to drop dead in the bottom. Then,
when the Trinity crew had won, the de-
feated boys gave, as best they could, the
Cornell slogan in honor of the conquer.
ors, They knew what defeat meant,
but they also knew that Trinity had
fairly won. In that tribute to the crew
which had defeated them, the Cornell
boys showed the true grit of sportsmen
and of gentlemen.
The accident during the race happened
to Fenneil. His oar blade "caught a
crab. The handle struck him violently
IN the side, knocking him backward in
the seat and disabling him. The latest
dispatches indicate that his hurt may
prove serious. When Strengthened in
his seat by fellow. oarsman after the
accident, he feebly grasped the oar put
in his hands aud tried as best lie could to
pull again.
But Cornell was defeated. Why talk
about it? A boat race ia much like the
race Of life. The men who succeed, sue.
coed, and theirs the glory. The men
who fail, pass into the shadow. No one
cares to know much more about them.
But 1t is probably true, nevertheless,
that the merit hidden by the shadow is
sometimes as great as that revealed BY
the glory light of success.

PrTTsBuhG, Pa, July i6.--Arrange-
ments are being made for convention

prophecies in regard TO the second com
ing of Christ.
The Rev. w. G. Moorehead OF Xenia,
o., and the Rev. w. ]. Erdman, ID. d., OF
Philadelphia, have been appointed TO
correspond with prominent ministers
and II possible secure their services.
LEADING MINISTER'S WANTED.
Among those whose presence Is de-
sired are. The Rev. A. 4. Pearson, D.
D., of Brooklyn, N. Y, Prof. Sitter of
Crozier Seminary, the Rev. DR.. Stroeter
of New York, the Rev w. j. Erdman

A prominent minister who Is COM

under consideration, said yesterday:

tiers of the Presbyterian Church thai

prophecies where there was one 10
years ago. Some of the greatest minds
of the country arc in line on this sub
ject, and we show this In the oonyen-
ton, which will doubtless-be held.
"What we believe is simply this: A
thousand years before the final judg-
ment, Christ will come personally 10 the
earth and inauguratc His kingdom of
righteousness. AT that time there Will
be a resurrection of all the righteous
dead. The resurrection of the wicked
will not take place until the end of the
thousand years and then the final iudg-
ment will be held. Whether the Lord
will remain on the earth during the
millenial period, we do not pretend to
say"
THE FINAL ABODE.
When asked what was held In regard
as to the final abode of the righteous
and the eternal habitation OF the wicked
he said:
"We do not know; at least at this
time we cannot understand what is

In the race for prosperity, the wooden
industry and the iron industry ran a
heat, neck and neck, Friday, as the
following dispatches show:
CHESTER, Pa. July daley q Messick
proprietors of the Grove worsted mills. to-
day announced to their employees an in.
crease of wages from 81 to 10 per cent the
wool sorters receiving 10 per cent. At a
meeting of the employees resolution of
thanks was rendered Messrs. Daley d
Messick
READING, Pa. July 1.-THE 200 EN-.
ployes of the Blandon rolling mill were
notified to-day that they would receive a
10 per cent increase IN wages.
We are sure that nobody will get tired
of reading news of this kind. II is, Of
course, tine same old thing day after
day, occurring at different places and
bringing joy to different workmen. But
nobody will object TO monotony in such
welcome news. The story of improved
business and increased wages is like the
hundredth love letter from the woman
who loves You best. 1t may be much
like the other ninety-nine, but you read
it with absorbing interest Just the same.
You read it over two or three times in
fact, and just before going to bed take a
final look to make certain that none of
it has got away. These dispatches con
corning increased wages are love letters
from Tariff Reform to the American
people. They are being read with
absorbing interest and genuine pleasure,
and they have already been the means
of restoring the mutual affection which
was interrupted somewhat by "loyers
quarrel at last falls election.
