The Usage Orange.

We observe quite an interest
among some of the citizens of our
city to grow the Usage orange for
fence. Now, to make a good
fence as also a thing of beauty, you
want to start just right, and this
is the way to do it. First prepare
your ground as you would if you
was planting any other crop and
was expecting to raise good crop
Don't think you can dig a hole
in the salt grass sod and put in
either the seed or the plant year
old and leave it at that and think
you will get good growth and
soon have a nice fence, for just as
sure as you do this you will be
disappointed and will have your
plants, if they grow at all, small
and smothered up with salt grass
and very small and scrubby
growth, and you will soon get dis
heartened; but having we'll prepar-
ed your ground put your plants
about s to 10 inches apart in the
row, water and cultivate as you
would any other crop, and when
your plants are a foot high, cut
them back 5 or s inches and when
they have grown up again to foot,
cut them back to about 9 inches,
leaving about 3 inches of the
growth, and keep it up this way
and you will have fence that will
be chicken proof, and proof against
every reasonable thing by the time
it is 4 years old, as also a thing of
beauty. If you wish to see such a
fence that is already started, just
go down to the Temple Block and
on the north Of the lot and at the
west end of that fence line, you will
see just what you want, as Bro.
Bennett has got one started there,
that is a splendid pattern to 60 by,
and those who have already or may
wish to start such a fence, will do
well to go and see it for them
selves. +

The True Gospel.

The senate substitute or the
house bond bill, if it could only
become law, would change the
gloom Of agricultural and business
prostration as if touched by the
wand Of Prosperity. The bond
bill and the senate substitute are
from two opposite schools Of fl
snance. One is the school Of the
money king and leads to extreme
wealth for the few and poverty and
want for the millions; the other
opens up the pathway Of independ-
ence to all who are wise and in
dustrious and lifts the weight Of
poverty from the masses of the
land. One leads to low prices
for all the products of toll and low
wages for the labor of the world, the
other secures prices commensurate
with the true value of mans indust-
nv and skill. One is the school Of
the purse proud and the oppressor,
the other the school of humanity,
basing it's teaching upon the wis
dom and experience of mankind.
The senate substitute restores
silver to it's constitu tional pedestal
as money metal. It opens up the
minis to it's coinage upon an equal
ity with gold. It gives to it what
the trainers Of the constitution and
the first American congress con-
ferred upon it, and that which they
secured toit for the first 50 years Of
the nations life. 1t supplies the
treasury with ample constitutional
money-the money of the contracts
under which all bonds were sold
and paper money issued, and it pro-
vides against contraction of the
currency, by requiring the reissue
Of the greenbacks when exchanged
for coin.
The bill for the free coinage of
silver, the coinage of the silver
seigniorage and the redemption of
greenbacks with silver equally with
gold will be the platform upon
which all true patriots will unite in
the pending presidential struggle
and it will be the shibboleth that
will inspire them to victory.
The foregoing is from the
Eureka, Utah, Democrat, but the
editor does not go quite far enough,
for we are in favor of the govern
ment coming only the silver mined
in the United States, SO that our
home mines can have their supply
of silver turned into coin and not
allow foreign silver to be brought

Personal Experience.

(COntinued)
The company of men, women
and children told us that they had
bsen here a month living on moth
ing but beef from very poor and
worn out oxen. Brother Rich
and company let them have all the
flour we could spare. It was a
pitiable sight to see them in such
condition and our hearts almost
bled for the poor starving little
children.
On December 3, while out hunt
ing up the horses / came across
nice patch of grapes, and 1 ate
freely. They were sweet as
raisins. I ate 50 many they made

Brother Cannon is sick and our
provisions are nearly exhausted.
One of our men shot an owl which
we dressed and cooked, broth was
made and brothar Cannon drank it
and ate some of the meat, but he
said the flesh was little tough.
Brother Rich proposed that we
lay by for a day or two and send
out hunters for game, as there was
some signs of deer. So at evening
prayers we all united in asking the
Lord to bless our hunters on the
morrow, who in the afternoon of
the next day returned with three
blacktailed deer, which greatly in
creased our scanty stock of provis-
ions. When we saw the hunters
coming into camp laden with veni-
son, there was rejoicing indeed, for
we knew the Lord had heard and
answered our prayers.
Friday 7. 1t was exceedingly
cold last night and this morning
we found one of our animals dead.
We only journeyed few miles
before camping. The day is warm
and the snow is melting fast.
One of the men killed another
deer. This evening it was agreed
that brother Rich and few men
with the strongest animals should
proceed ON to the settlements. As

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

mo better proof is needed to sus-
tain the position of the Sandwich that
the country is too much afflicted with
politics. than is found in the result of
the primaries held over the state on
the 9th instant. Never before, scarce
ly, has there been such an effort to
enthuse the people and induce them to
go to the polls, yet, after a campaign,
lasting for weeks, the people failed to
enthuse, and the primaries were a
little better than failures. 1t was
demonstrated that the agitation comes
chiefly from politicians who have am
billions to be satisfied and that the PEG.
pie are tired of so much politics. Now
if politicians will profit by this ex.
ample they will give politics a rest
and give the business interests of the
country a chance."-Texas Sandwich.

ASKING FOR HOMES.
The Baptists Call for Assistance in Enter
tanning the Delegates.

The various committees having
in charge the arrangements for the
b. Y. P. U. and Baptist Sunday
school conventions and the enter
tainment Of the delegates, are
straining every nerve to make the
two conventions a success and
make the stay OF the delegates q
pleasant one. They have found it
an uphill task to provide homes
for the delegates owing to the tax
placed upon the citizens on account
of the entertainment of the two
former conventions. The Baptists
OF the city are, however, very de-
sirous OF giving the many dele
gates q hearty welcome and yester.
day the following address to the
public was issued and handed to
the LIGHT this morning with the
request for its publication:

time honored custom, propose "a

gates.
"There were then attending the
convention meeting in Bryan about
600 delegates, and we supposed
that about 1000 delegates would
come to our city and that we could
with the aid Of hospitable friends
entertain them; but now we have
received the names of 1000 who
are coming, and though we have
canvassed our people generally are
still wanting over 1000 homes.
"This being the situation we
hereby appeal to all our generous
citizens to help US entertain our
visitors. They can aid us by
giving entertainment to one or
more delegates, by giving lodging,
breakfast and supper, by giving
lodging and breakfast, by giving
lodging alone, or by giving con-
trlbutions with which to pay for
the board of delegates.
eff we can entertain free our del
egates there will be from 5000 to

tions continue in session six days,
they will put in circulation in our
city fully $4,000 or $50, 900. five
cannot provide homes for the dele
gates in few days, we shall be re.
duced to the humiliating necessity
Of so informing the churches,
which will materially affect the
attendance on our convention. But
we are persuaded that our gener-
GUS people seeing our want will
come to our help, and that all the
delegates who come will be enter.

crushed to pieces by falling five or ten
thousand feet, and there are scores of
guides who will point out the exact spot
where So-and-Su landed after fall of
six thousand feet.
THE GUIDES.
These guides form a unique feature of
life at Zermatt. They are all duly quail,
fed for their responsible duties, and
the examination is serious matter to
them. They must be over 81 years old
and have completed their military service
before they are eligible. They must also
have climbed q certain nulnbe of diff
cult peaks, which resell. bles the advice
of never bathing till one can swim. In
these trial ascents, however, they serve
as porters instead of guides, and act the
part of sure-footed beaats of burden-no
easy task on steep, Recovered slopes.
When all the qualifications are filed the
would-be guides have a course of instruc-
ton on some glaciers, where they must
