The Planters Monthly for June
is one of the most interesting and
valuable issues of that magazine.
The article on the experiment sta
tons of the United States and ia
maica has many good suggestions
for the people interested in our
agricultural industries. DR.. Max
well of the local experiment sta
ton also contributes an article on
green fertilization. The editor
deals with the topic that is inter
esting all citizens here "Ameri-
cas- political relations with Ha-
wall" In referring to the Treaty,
it is stated that Hawaii will prob
ably not object to the reduction
one-half of the benefits derived
from non-dutiable sugars. To this
we cannot agree. Hawaii will OBJ
ject to any change in the Treaty,
except possibly that it will admit
all American goods free of duty.
If our opponents in Congress sue
ceed in putting a small duty on
Hawaiian sugars we shall have to
accept the situation, but strong
effort will be made to prevent such
adverse legislation.

An Oklahoma Farm Yields Queer
Products
WICHITA, Kansas, June 4.-Henry
Patterson of Perry, o. T., has dug from
his farm prehistoric monster, or rath-
er a petrified skeleton of a mammoth
sea lizard, that has excited much in
terest among scientists. The Chicago
Academy of Sciences is negotiating for
it's purchase. 1t is the most wonderful
and most colossal ever unearthed, its
proportions being gigantic. There are
vertebrae, a complete skull, ribs and
fiippers that are mammoth in size.
The fossil is fully petrified, the bones
being calcareous. There are 80 or
more vertebrate, each as big as the
joint of a stovepipe. The head is 16
feet in circumference and has a long
protrudi bone, six feet across, like
the beak of a bird. The ribs are % feet
long. half-hooped in contour, and the
eye sockets are two feet across. The
propellers or fins Are perfectly preserv-
ed and three feet wide and II feet long
The fossil is that of saurianondon
or sea lizard, and was fully goo feet
long. In the Cherokee Strip the allu-
vial deposit just overlies the creta-
ceous or chalk formation, and the fos-
sill was found by Mr.. Patterson in a
putty clay, not more than four feet be-
low the surface.
1t is believed to be the largest fossil
ever found. Professor Marsh of Yale
has recovered skeletons of reptiles of
North America that are over 100 feet
long, but nothing as gigantic as the
Cherokee Strip lizard has ever been
brought to light on this continent.

1t is said that Rudyard Kipling
has been sent to Crete as the war
correspondent of the London
Times at salary of $4,000. As
the war in Crete is ended for the
time being at least, Kipling will
possibly devote the most of his
time to story writing. The story
will doubtless be more interesting
than the correspondence. When
Kipling writes for the newspapers
he usually gives the impression
that his digestive apparatus is out

OBLIGATIONS OF VOTERS.

When a man Is busy making
money and his little world seems
to be running along smoothly he
is not disposed to give much atten-
ton to politics and questions affec-
ting the future of the country In
which he lives. This Is peculiar
ity of human nature by no means
common alone TO the citizens of
Hawaii. At the same time our
citizens seem to be furnishing
pretty good demonstration Of the
fact, as evidenced in the general
Indifference to qualify in order to
vote at the coming election of Rep
resentatives to the Legislature.
There may be a certain amount
of qualification In the contempla-
ton of the general self satisfied at
titude of the body polite. 1t may
be interpreted as an evidence that
the people have no fault to find
with the laws of the land or the
manner of their administration.
This is all right as far as it goes.
Satisfaction is a good thing but
when it approaches stagnation 1t IS
about time the people began to
pinch themselves and awake to the
realization that continued indiffer-
ence will finally result in a retro
grade movement. The legislative
power of a nation can't stand still.
1t must either 60 forward or gradu-
ally slip down hill. When the lat
ter characterizes the situation, the
people will sooner or later come to
their senses and begin to condemn
others right and left, when as a
matter of fact they themselves are
the ones to be blamed.
To use political term, this IS an
"off year." Only members of the
House of Representatives are to
be elected, and the citizen who
feels that the country is running
along all right" can't see why he
should take the time to vote. This
is a narrow, selfish view. The citi-
zen of any republic whose action
is prompted by such sentiments
ought to ponder over the question
of individual responsibility. We
have more respect for man, who
for nistaken reasons refuses to take
part in the political affairs of the
country. The man who cannot
take the time to register, after hav-
ing fulfilled all other qualifications
of a voter, may well consider
whether he Is not a block in the
pathway of the political progress
of the patton.
Whatever the duties placed up
on the men who hold office by pop
ular vote, representative men are
wanted in the halls of the Legis-
lature. Such men will not be
selected unless each and every
voter of the country fulflls the
obligation placed upon every mem
Der of the Commonwealth to exer-
else the right of suffrage. The rec
ords of the Registration Board do
not reflect credit upon the voters
of the country, and it is to be hoped
the super-satisfied, Indifferent ones
will arouse from their lethargy.

The public and the pupils of the

or the suggestion of new thoughts.

Tic Padded pcnsion roll.

There is a very poor prospect Of any
legislation during this congress which
would increase the list of pensioners.
There is a strong ana growing feeling
that the pension business has been over
done There is not much doubt that there
are a great many thousands of persons
receiving pensions who are not entitled
to them. The fact is the doors of the
pension office have been thrown wide
open, as it were, ana pensions have been
granted almost for the asking.
1t is a remarkable fact that while there
are only 27,122 actual survivors of the
war on the northern side, The number of
names on the civil war pension roll is
1904. and there are 1850 who are de
manding pensions. OF course, among
those receiving pensions are the widows
of pensioners. Their number is 2l3.352.
But when the widows are deducted from
the list Of pensioners there still remain
more pensioners than there are survivors
Of the war of secession.
Under the dependent pension law $4,000,
000 is paid annually, If that law We're
amended so as TO give pensions to those
only who are not able to earn a living
500 100000 would be saved to the govern
ment. 1t is notorious fact that more
than half of those who get pensions I'M
der the dependent pension act are not dis
abled ana dependent. They are not really
getting pensions for disabilities but are,
in fact, being paid a service pension.
Prior to the civil war the spread-eagle
orators used to mention with pride the
fact that the people were not burdened
with the expense Of great standing
army, as the people of European coun-
tries were. We can stiH say that our
standing army is not burdensome but
what about the army of pensioners? That
army costs $1H,O0O0o annually. an
amount that far exceeds the cost of the
standing army of any European country
except Russia. Great Britains standing
army costs only $S7,403,9H year and
Germany's $nS2O448O 1t looks as if the
pension burden would be increased be
fore there would be any considerable
reduction in it, because of the numerous
pending applications.
The people understand fully that the
politicians are responsible for this enor-
nous pension burden, and they are be-
ginning to insist that congress shall take
steps to get rid of portion of it.

The Postal Swing scheme.

The postmaster general has not yet an
swered satisfactorily the question as 10
how the savings of the people, deposited
with the government, would be invested
IL his scheme Of postal savings banks
should be adopted. His suggestion that
the money could be invested in pubic
buildings in different parts Of the coun-
try. would hardly be satisfactory 10 the
few fuanciers In congress. 1t Is true OF
course that the government now pays
pretty nearly a million and a half of dol
lars in rents for buildings now used
as postofices. but the using Of the money
for such purpose would necessitate the
making of an appropriation every year
to pay interest due depositors.
But suppose. there should be money
panic ana the depositors should call for
their money, where would the government
get il? It couldn't pay them unless there
was fund set apart for that purpose or
an appropriation, and it wouldn't be an
easy matter TO get an appropriation.
To make the postal savings scheme
success the savings would have to be in
vested in a security paying a good rate
OF interest ana when COulu DC QulChly
converted into cash. United States bonds
are too high, and most of the state bonds,
although bearing a low rate of interest,
command a premium. 1t would be diff
fcult matter to find a bond that would
give general satisfaction
There is undoubtedly a strong sentiment
in favor of postal savings banks, but it is
not so strong as it was before the matter
began to be discussed. The great majority
of the people thought only of the encour-
agement which the postal savings banks
would give to people to save something
every week or month from their earnings.
The investing of the money thus received
was regarded a matter for the government
alone to settle. When they investigated
the question in all its phases however,
they found that the investment of
the money received from the
postal savings banks would be
of the greatest importance to
them. Therefore when a postal savings
bank bill comes up in congress for action
it is likely to secure a great deal more at
tention than it was thought it would when
the scheme was first suggested.

Brooklyn Is soon to lose one of its most
popular preachers. The Rev. DR.. James
NJ, Farrar, pastor of the First Reformed
Dutch church of that city, has announced
his purpose to resign because of the be-
lief that the go2pcl ought to be free. He
receives a salary of 5000 a year, and he
is very popular with his congregation. He
has a comfortable home and his domestic
life is an ideal one. Notwithstanding all
of these things he is not contented. He
is convinced that he ought not to receive
pay for his work-that ministers should
not receive money for preaching-and that
it is wrong to rent pews, hold church fairs
and do other things of the sort to raise
money to assist in church work. He ought
to join the Quakers who do not believe in
a hireling ministry, church fairs and rent
ed pews.
Last summer DIR. Farrar visited Eng
land and there became interested in what
is known as the Keswick movement. IT
met his idea Of the way the truths of
religion should be spread There is a COM
munity at Idlewild, Chester county, Penn
sylvana which holds religious views sim
liar to those which DR.. Farrar finds so
satisfactory, and he has decided to make
his home in that county. He would go
there at once, but he is arranging some
financial matters which will secure TO him
an income of $500 a year. He expects to
maintain his family on that sum. He will
have to live frugally, of course, but he
will have the satisfaction of knowing that
no one can point his finger at him and say
he breaches for money He will do his
work faithfully and without hope of earth
ly reward, and viii use ali of his intel
lectual powers in trying to save souls.
He and his family will find life on $500
a year in a small country town quite diff
ferent from life in a fine house in Brook
lyn and an income of 5000 a year. The
fact that ne is giving up so much, from
a worldly point of view, is satisfactory
evidence that he is sincere and very much
in earnest.

The Wrong Coupons.

At the Columbia theater the other even
ing, says the Chicago Record. a man pre-
scented two coupons 10 the usher and ask
ed: where are my seats3s"
The usher started toward the seats in
dictated by the stubs, followed by the man
and the woman who accompanied him,
when suddenly he stopped short and said
Hello! these are not for tonight.
Not for to-night?"
NO; you've made a mistake. These are
old coupons. The date is Oct. -
Wen, that's very strange. 1 got them
at the box office"
I'm sorry, but you'n have to see the
manager. I'll bring him to you"
BY the time Manager Davis came the
man was indignant.
Look here" he said. "I bought two
tickets for tonight, and now 1 find that
they are old ticlIets-away back, Oct. 2"
Il m very sorry. 1 don't see how such
a mistake could happen"
'All l know is that l bought two tickets
for tonight and now the usher tells me
the coupons are no good. l paid my
money, and l expect two good seats"
I'VE have sold every seat in the house"
You'll have to make some provision for
me-"
There was a hurrying to and fro and
consultation of ushers, and finally the man
ana woman were given two extra chairs
crowded in near one of the boxes. Mr..
Davis went with them to see that they
were cared for, and then said: I'm in

received were for Jack and the Beanstalk,
and not for The Wedding Day.

said: Hold on, here! The last time I

Gen. Blanco and other leading Spaniards
say that the refusal of the insurgent lead
ers to permit the agents of Spain to en-
ter their lines and present the scheme of
self-government which Spain offers Cuba,
and the execution of Col. Ruiz. who en-
tered the insurgent lines for that purpose,
are proof that the cause of the insurgents
is weakening, and that the instruction
will be quelled within a short time. On
the other Hand, the insurgents say that
SPANS offer of autonomy and her efforts
to induce the insurgent leaders to accept
1t, show beyond doubt SPANS weak
ness, and leave no room for doubt that
Cuba will be abandoned by Spain If the
offer of autonomy is rejected.
This sort of talk is intended to influence
public sentiment in this and other coun-
tries. Neither the Spaniards nor the in
surgents are sincere in making statements
like the foregoing. No doubt the spanisrds
hope that the killing of Col. Ruiz means
that the instruction is growing so weak
that the leading insurgents are afraid that
their armies will become disorganized, but
they do not know that such is the case;
and the insurgents have no facts to JUS
tify their statement that the offer OF au-
tonomy is evidence of weakness, aud that
the rejection of the offer will be followed
by SPANS withdrawal from Cuba No
one is in a position to say how near the
contest is to its end
The New York Herald, on Monday
printed long cable letter from Madrid
alleged to have been written by one of
Spain's foremost diplomats, who is in a
position to speak for the government. This
alleged distinguished diplomat says that
the war in Cuba is practically at an end,
and that before January Cuba will be
automatically governed. The fact that
the diplomats name is withheld renders
the letter practically worthless. Little
confidence is to be placed in articles which
are anonymous. 1t may be true that the
instruction is rapidly nearing its end but
if it is, the evidence of the fact is lack
ing.
