When we consider these incidents and con-
template the peaceful obedience and manly
submission which have succeeded IL heat ed

abundant evidence OF determination on
the part of our countrymcn to abide by
EVERY verdict Of the popular will, and to
be controlled ut all times by an abiding
faith In the agencies established for the
direction Of the affairs Of their government.
Thus our people exhibit a patriotic DISPOSE
tion which entities them to demand of
those who undertake to make and execute
their laws such faithful and unseltish sfrv-
Ice IN their behalf as can only lie prompted
by Il serious appreciation of the trust and
confidence which the acceptance of public
duty invites.

The report that King Oscar of swe-

The report that King Oscar Of Swe-
den and Norway had erected granite
monument to two Americans who had
died in Sweden must have caused con-
siderable excitement in New York,
where the report first read Grant
monument. New York could hardly
forgive any other community if it pre-
sumed to detract any from the glory of
its own celebrated continuous Grant
monument performance.
Herr Bebel. one of the social demo-
cratic leaders of the reichstag. Is a
bold man. In a fiery speech recently,
he denounced the immunity of army
officers from punishent for wanton
outrages committed upon civilians, de-
claring that the emperor's recent ad-
dress to the new recruits bordered Oil
madness. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the warlike young William
will clap Herr Bebel into Jail for trea-
son, or consult an alienist as to his
own mental condition.

perceive that any progress has thus far
been made toward the pacifcation of the
island or that the situation Of affairs as de-

the determination of Spain to put down
the insurrection seems but to strengthen
with the lapse Of time. and Is evinced by
her unhesitating devotion of largely-in-
creased military and naval forces to the
task, there is much reason to believe that
the insurgents have gained in point OF
numbers, character and resources and are
none the less inflexible in their resolve not
to sucrunb without practically securing the
great objects for which they took up arms.

LAYING Hens,

It is a mistake to keep the laying
hens with those which do not produce
eggs for the reason that the layers re-
ouire more food than the others, and
NAV not receive it. Usually when hens
do not lay they are too fat and should
be fed on foods containing but little
grain. and also fed sparingly; >conse-
ouently when all the hens are together
the non-producing hens may become
fatter. while the layers do not receive
enough. 1t does not pay to feed hens
that do not give return for the food
consumed

Clara Barton's report as to the DIES.

Clara Barton's report as to the des-
titution in Armenia corroborates the
regular press reports from Asiatic
Turkey. but it doesn't throw any light
upon the cause of the distress. Miss
Barton is probably doing the right
thing in limiting her observations to
the domain of charity, but the world
would like to hear something authori-
tative and official in regard to the
atrocities of the Turks in Armenia.
