MOUND BUILDERS CORN.
After Burial for Centuries It Grows Like
Seed Grain.


A curious experiment was made this
summer by Charles Graham, a nursery
man of this county, and the result lies
upon the desk before your correspon-
dent as he writes, says a letter in the In
dianapolis News. last year Mr.. A. A.
Graham, of Mount Vernon, Ind, made
q visit to the vicinity of Alton, ILL.,, and
called upon friend, who had just
opened mound builders burial mound.
Upon the mound grew several large
trees, among them an oak four feet in
diameter, and thus the age of the mound
was established as considerable. In it
were found the crumbling remains of
bones, and among other utensils large
pot, containing maize very much like
our present common red corn. OF this
Mr.. Graham secured several grains, and
on returning home planted it. Itgrew,
and the result was that he produced a
strain of corn which is most likely the
ancestor of the corn we now cultivate.
In spite of having been in the grave
for certainly not less than 400 years,
it grew very rapidly and produced a
large, well-shaped ear upon fairly tall
stalk. The ear is well set, the grains
being somewhat smaller than any of the
present varieties, except popcorn. In
shape the grain resembles dried sweet
corn, being rough and wrinkled. In
taste 1t is sweet and agreeable.

Entirely New s:iass of Nomads springine
Up In California
A resident of Fl Red, Cal, writes to
the Topeka Kansan-Sun as follows:
There is class of men here called
blanket men, They go around the
country in crowds and herds, each one
carrying his roll of blankets, sleeping
anywhere. They beg from house to
house something to eat. They work q
few days at time, and then go and sit
in front of saloon until their money
is gone. When Sunday comes they go
to stream and wash their clothes. II
is just dreadful to think men can get
so low. never thought there was any
good in the Coxey movement until now;
he was the means of getting large
number of these men out of the state.
"They say that California is the only
state where they can live in that way.
We ask them sometimes how they can
forget their homes in the east and live
Ike animals. They say: oh, it's the
climate!' Our preacher said when here
TO tea: Il believe more people will go
to hell from California than from any
other place, and it is oil the fault of the
climate There are hundreds and hun
dreds of these men wandering from one
part of the state TO another. They beg
for bread and work for whisky"

Soothing Syrups, are composed principal

they stupefy, and in large quantities are

the food and regulates the bowels, cures
diarrh9a, allays feverishness and freet-

Patriotism and Anarchy.

| Where anarchy ceases and patriotism
begins is indeed delicate point. says
The Dailes Tines ountaineer, we are
to believe the discussions that have been
presented during the present campaign.
The Chicago platform has been denounc-
ed as anarchistic for the following declar-
alton: 1--WE demand the free and IN
limi'ej CO ige Of both silver and gold at
the present legal ratio Of Is to 1, withou,
waiting for the aid or consent of any 9th
er nation. We demand that the stand
ard silver dollar shall be full legal tender,
equal with gold, for all debts. public and
private"
This, by the gold standard press and
gold-standard orator is said to be anar-
chism. That is, to demand the re-enact.
ment OF a law that was in vogue tor many
years, without asking the consent oil
foreign powers, Is ansrchistic. In other
words, il the United States undertakes to
pass, or rather re-enact, law that pre-
vailed formerly, and for almost a century
was the law of the country, without OBJ
tanning the consent Of the other nations
OF the world, 1t is anarchistic. In short.
when this nation undertakes to legislate
for itself, to pass independent laws with
out asking the consent OF Europe. il and
those who favor such action are anar.
chists. This assumption SINNERS dow n
to the proposition that the United States
is servile government. not capable OF
Ieglslating for itself without asking the
crowned heads Of Europe to acquisce.
Now here is patriotism according to
the gold standard Interpretation. II lie
embodied in the st. Louis Platform:
"We are opposed to the free coinage Of
silver, except by International agreement
with the leading commercial nations OF
the world, and until such agreement can
be obtained, the existing gold standard
must be preserved"
This is patriotism, according to the
gold standard advocates Interpretation.
For the prondest nation on earth, a
nation OF 20 900, 900 OF people, to get down
on its knees and offer up this prayer:
"0h. England! Oh, Germany Oh,
France, permit US to make financial
policy that is suited to our people," But
to say that We will enact financial pol
icy Of our own, independent Of England,
Germany or France is anarchism. II il
is anarcbism to use silver as q money,
independent of the will of other powers,
would ii not be dishonest to use 1t under
any circumstances? II II is anarchism
to declare an independent policy for our
selves, but patriotism to get the consent
OF foreign nations, we would like to know
where anarchism leaves off and patriotism
begins? The distinction is indeed diff
cult to determine. Though were We to
draw the line. We would say patriotism
| begins when a free and independent ma
ton declares its own policy, and anarchy
or servitude begins when il asks the con-
sent OF other nations to pass laws or en-
act policies Tor it's own people.

Recently at Carnegie Hall, New York
there was a great missionary meeting at
which the sum of $4,000 was subscrib-
ed to convert the heather in the orient,
Under the extraordinary stimulation OF
series Of speakers numbers Of people be-
came 90 frenzied with excitement and
enthusiasm as to give to the missionary
cause money and yaluables that did not
belong to them. Funds dedicated to the
help of the sick and distressed, trust
moneys consecrecrated TO holy purposes
found their way into the plate and at
times the audience was so carried away
by religious" frenzy as to recall to mind
the acts of Hindoo devotees who plunge
knives into their bodies, fay themselves
with instruments OF torture and hang
themselves on hooks to demonstrate
their zeal and faith. There Is no ques-
ton but what the emotion awakened by
the fervid orators resulted in subordi-
nation Of judgment, surrender OF the
rational faculties with which Judgment is
endowed for its guidance to blind i'm
pulse, and that the miseries at eur doors,
and cries of distress Of our neighbors
were overlooked and unheard to give to
q cause Of which we know little and
which at best should not appeal to us
with the strength Of the miseries and
slfferings OF those OF our own country,
our own language and our own religion.

Public school. IN California.

Facts as to the development of the
public school system of California show
that although it is only AZ years since
the first schoolhouse was built in the
state, yet now the annual expenditure
for public schools is nearly $4,000, GOO
and $500 teachers are employed in in
structing 100000 pupils. These teachers
are paid more literally than in many
other states and they rank high in eff
ficiency. The state university and its
affiliated colleges have been very liber-
ally endowed and the competition of
Stanford university has helped instead
of injuring it. The bequest of j. c,
Wilmerding of 100000 for the estab-
lishment of school in whish boys may
learn trades has fallen due and this new
technical school will be under the state
university and every effort will be made
TO render il efficient.
