Our New Typo.

Through the kindness of Brother
George Woodward, who hired us
small amount of means, we have
been enabled to procure a hundred
pounds of type that is almost as good
as new, of which this is a sample.
1t has aided us materially but we
need larger press, and have been
corresponding with variaus parties
on the subject and now all we lack
is the wherewith to procure what
we need. There are quite number
of our subscribers who have not yet
paid, that are amply able to help us
to the needed press, if they would,
and remittance from them in cash
at their earliest convenience, will be
greatly appreciated. We do not say
this to croud anybody and trust that
none will take offense at it, for it
Costs us considerable more to run
the UNION the size it is than we are
receiving on both subscriptions and
advertising, and we need all the
encouragement in the way of means.
that we can possibly obtain.

Year Without Summer.

The following interesting item is
found in Vickery's Fireside Visitor
for April, 1896, under the above
caption:
Seventy Nine years ago was the
year without summer. Frost oc-
cured every month in the year 1876,
Ice found half an inch thick in May.
Snow fell to the depth of three inch
es in New York, and also in Massa-
Chusetts in june. Ice was formed of
the thickness of window glass,
throughout New York on the 9Th
day of July. Indian Corn was so
frozen that the greater part was cut
in August, dried for feed, and the
Farmers supplied themselves from
the corn produced in 1875 for the
seeding of the spring of 1877"
The Visiter has made a slight mis-
take or else we are mistaken. If you
take 1876 from 1896, it leaves 50,
it being 80 years ago instead of 70.
The Year 1896, thus far, has been
a Very strange season, intermingled
with cold and heat, On the night
of the 10th of may,18o6, the mercury
ran down to 20, and in the day time
of the nth it ran up to 50. This is
change with a Vengeance and
portrays that something out of the
usual routine is surely taking place
but we sincerely hope that we will
yet see a fair harvest this year. fol-
IT we do not, there may be neces
slty for our people to go back to the

ligion must expect persecution and
also to have their name cast out as
evil, but at the same time, God our
heavenly father, is able to preserve
His Saints and bring them off vic
torious, If they will only put their
trust in Him and not put their
trust in mortal man, for in the 51st
chapter Of Isaiah, it is written,
"Hearken unto me, ye that know
righteousness, the people in whose
heart IS my law; fear we not the re-
proach Of men, neither be we
afraid of their revilings. N v But
my righteousness shall be forever,
and my salvation from generation
to generation"
Ii we do not put our trust in
God and ask Him in faith to pre-
serve us, what can we expect9
In the 18th chapter of st. Mark
Jesus is quoted as saying "For
verify [ say unto you, That whose
ever shall say unto this mountain,
Be thou removed, and be thou cast
into the sea; and shall not doubt
in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall
come to pass; he shall have what
soever he saith. Therefore I say
unto you, what things soever ye
desire, when We pray, believe that
we receive them, and We shall have
them."
In the LIST chapter Of James we
are told that eff any of you lack
wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men literally, and up
braideth not; and it shall be given
him. But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering: for he that wa
vereth is like a wave Of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed
For let not that man think that he
shall receive anything Of the
Lord"
Now, then, if we desire God tx
bless us and grant our petitions
we must observe his laws and have
full faith, to carry us safely
through each trial and tribulation
until, in the due time Of the Lord
the day shall come "When he shall
have put down all rule, and all au
thority and power. For he mus
reign, till he hath put all enemie
nnder his feet"

Thursday, May IA, 1896.


At Various times in conversation
with different parties on the princi-
pie of faith we have found some
who, in our estimation, are little
weak, and do not believe that God
is able to ward off persecution &C.,
from us unless we concede to the
various demands made on us by the
bowling demon through his adver-
saries.
In the first place we are told in
the 9Th chapter of st. Matthew,
BLESSED are they which are per-
secuted for righteousness sake:
for theirs is the kingdom Of heav-
en-. Blessed are We, when men
shall revile you, and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil
against you falsely: for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for
great IS your reward in heaven:
for so prosecuted they the proph-
cts which were before you. y N y
For verify l say unto YOU Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or
little shall in no wise pass from
the law, till all be fulfilled"
Then again in the 9th chapter OF
st. Luke we are told, BLESSED are
We, when men shall hate you, and
when they shall seperate you from
their company, and shall reproacf
NOu. and cast out YOUR name as evil
for the Son of mans sake. Re
joice We in that day, and leap TO
Joy: for, behold, your reward il
great in heaven: for in the lik'
manner did their fathers unto tn,
prophets"
Then in the same chapter it i
said "Woe unto you when all me0
shall speak we'll of you! for so di
their fathers to the false prophets.
Then in the 3rd chapter of On
Timothy we are told, "Yea, and a
that will live godly in Christ Jesu
shall suffer persecution. But ev
men and seducers shall wax wors
and worse, deceiving and being d.
ceived. But continue thou in tn
things which thou hast learned an
hast been assured of, knowing {
whom thou hast learned them.n

We consider our Dixie climate so
admirably adapted to the growth of
sweet potat oes that we give the fol-
lowing room.
The sweet Potato pomea batas
belong to the morning glory family
Convovulaceoe] The enlarged root
IS Priced as a vegetable, while the
long vines are not generally utilized,
although of value as food for live
stock.
Authorities have not been able to
agree whether the sweet potato owes
it's origin to America or to the East
Indies. In the warmer regions of
both the Eastern and the Western
continents it is extensively cult
waited.
According to the census to 1890,
the United States propuces annually
in round numbers 44,ooo,ooo bushels
of sweet potatoes. New Jersey is
the most northerly State in which
sweet potatoes are extensively Guilt
waited. However, good crops have
been matured at Geneva, N. Y, and
Lincoln, Neb., on the grounds of the
agricultural experiment stations. In
gardens still father north the sweet
potato has been cultivated. Maine,
for example, is credited in the last
census with 267 bushels.
Propagation BY Sets.
The sweet potato is most com
monty propagated by means of the
buds or shoots from the roots. The
roots are planted in hotbeds, and the
buds or shoots which develops are
removed and transplanted in the
field. In some localities the cuttings
or sections from the vines secured
| by the above method of propagation
are transplanted, and the plants thus
obtained produce the bulk of the croI
tits possible to propagate Explaining
true seed or by planting portions o
the root, as with Irish potatoes
The sweet potato rarely natures seec
in the United States, although tru'
seeds have been produced in green
houses. The sprouts or shoots from
the parent root have different loca
names. In this bulletin they will
be referred to as sets.

HAVANA IN DANGER.
Fifteen Thousand Insurgents Are
Near the City.

NCah bAO IVY ~
The latest advices from Havana are
to the effect that the hotels and thea
tres in the city are practically desert
ed and the situation is growing more
serious every moment.
Positive information has been given
out that 10, 600 insurgent troops en-
tered the province of Havana on last
Friday. The information created tre-
mendous excitement and the people
are rushing from the capital at every
opportunity.
The climax is approaching in the
bloody campaign. A large number of
the criminals in Spain have been re-
leased by the government and enlisted
in the Spanish ranks. These men are
the most desperate characters in The.
country and are given freedom from
the convict cells to aid in drawing
blood from the insurgent forces.
The insurgents are nerved to the
highest pitch, and the results Of their
raiding and wrecking in the province
is easily discerned from the heights at
the capital. On Thursday night ire
mendous sugar warehouse at Reglay
across the bay from Havana, was burn
ed by the insurgents, and for an hour
or more Havana was brightly illumin-
ated by the light Of the burning build
ing. The incident created great ex-
citement and thousands Of people
stampeded the streets in their anguish
and fear

tits we'll known, says w. Z. Curtis
in the Chicago Record, that Bismarck
encouraged the German bankers to
make the last Cuban loan some years
ago with the expectation that sooner
or later the Spanish government
would be unable to pay the principal
and interest. Then Germany would
have an opportunity to foreclose on
the propety and take possession OF
the richest island in tho whole West
Indies.

Cecil Rhodes, Elk Premier of South
Africa, pretends to be shocked that
England and the United States should
be quarreling over some barren land
in South America, when they have
it in their pOwert to live together like
brothers and enforce peace through
out the world. This is just the way
the British talked in 1843, soliloquises
the Atlanta Constitution, when they
we're trying to grab Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho. At that time the
London Examiner said: eve wonder
that ignorant Americans are disposed
TO quarrel over country, the whole
in dispute not worth to either party
$1GO, OO0l The Edinburgh Review,
with prophetic eyesight, says: only
a small part of the land is capable of
cultivation. In few years all that
gives life to the country, both the
hunter and his prey, will be extinct,
and their places will be supplied by a
thin white and half-breed population,
gradually degenerating into barba-
rism far more offensive than lakewood
ism. The British came near sue
eesding in their scheme, and they
made many Americans believe that the
great West was worthless territory,
continues the Constitution. Fortu-
nately, wo then had statesmen at Wash
ington who knew the facts of the case,
and their patriotic efforts saved to the
Union three great commonwealth.

tory is worthless, why have they
strained every nerve to seize it during
the past seventy years? $780," ''''.''

TOUR OF THE SOUTH.
Arch bishop Riordan aud Father Yorke
Will Leave for Los Angeles
Monday.

Archbishop Riordan and Rev. P. G..
Yorke will leave for Los Angeles to-
morrow. They will be absent from San
Francisco about two weeks and will visit
all the points of interest in the southern
part OF the State. The Archbishop has not
been in good health of late and it is hoped
that change of climate will benefit him.
There has been no espe cia. programme
arranged for the Archbishop and Chancel-
lor during the southern trip, but it is
known that Father Yorke will lecture In
Los Angeles on the evening of March 16.
His theme will be on the issues of the day /;
issues in regard to the relationship of
church and state. Father Yorke's fame as
a speaker and writer has already gone
over the State and he will doubtless be
accorded big reception at Los Angeles.
In connection with the great contro-
versy with Father Yorke on the one hand
and the Rev. Donald M. Ross and the
Rev. DIR. Wendte and others on the other
the Chancellor announces that he will soon
issue book on the subject.
II will have the book published as
cheaply as possible" said Father Yorke
yesterday, "as l am anxious to have the
controversy generally circulated. I want
to have it placed in the hands of the pub
lie, as these old SANDERS against my church
have been squarely met and refuted. l
don't wish to make cent out of the pub
lication, but will sell it at cost price"

ASHWORTH REPLIES.
The Superintendent Of Streets on Mayor
Sutro's Astonishing Assessment
Sewer Discoveries.

Sewer Discoveries.
Superintendent of Streets Ashworth says
that Mayor Sutro's discovery of steep
charges for sewering Lake street in the
Richmond district, from Fourteenth to
Twentieth avenue. are not so much of a
discovery after all when the true facts of
the matter are taken into consideration.
In support of his position Mr.. Ashworth
quotes the law and the figures for the work
as passed by the Supervisors, and, IN con-
clusion, says:
"This assessment was issued nearly six
years ago by former administration and
was recently defeated in the Superior
Court, and copy of the judgment filed in
this Office requires that the Superintendent
of Streets issue new assessment in accord
ance with a provision of section 8 of the
street law.
'The expense of S21, 1917 35 was not borne
entirely by the property fronting on the
work, but district assessment was created
by the resolution of intention passed by
the Board OF Supervisors. The property
fronting on the streets along which the
sewer was constructed is assessed about
81 40 per front foot, and the property other
than the frontage assessed for the work is
taxed at the rate of 6 cents per front foot
thus an owner of a twenty five-foot lot
fronting on the work is assessed for $50 49,
and an owner of q twenty-fve-foot lot
within the assessment district Is assessed
only 81 50,'

Adding the value of the ship to the
cargo the figures mount up into the mil
mons, SO tits no wonder the insurance men,
underwriters and merchants are scared
over the vessels protracted passage.
w hen spoken to about the Rio business
men all take hopeful view of the case.
They point to the fact that the Strath-
nevis OF the Northern Pacific line was over
month overdue and that IS per cent re-
insurance was paid on her, but that finally
she was picked up and towed back into
port with broken shaft. They argue
from this that something has happened to
the Rios machinery and that in the
course of time she will turn up all right.
