AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES.

Mr.. Wilson, the new Secretary of Agri-
culture, seems to have the interest Of the
farmers Of this country at heart, and, if
they follow his suggestions, they may in
many instances reap substantial benefits
In some of his views he gives way too
much to imagination, but in others he
seems to appreciate the needs of the peo-
pie and the mistakes of the farmers
In II recent interview with II represent
alive of the Washington Post he showed
conclusively that in many respects the
people OF the United States, are agricultu-
rally speaking, blind to their own inter-
ests. For instance, according to his flo
ures, which are no doubt correct, we i'm
bulk of which were laid in Canada. when
by better feeding and little more at
tcntion generally, the American hen
would have been equal to the situa ton,
with handsome surplus to spare. Of
these 500, 600 dozen eggs $4,000 dozen
came from China but these were doubt
less imported by the Acknowledged Oeles-
tials residing here, to whom age in an
egg, like wine with the drnker, is rather
recommendation than otherwise.
In the matter of sugar the Secretary
believes that we could soon make all we
need from beets alone. if the proper
efforts were made. He says he has dis
tributed four tons of the finest beet seed
to he obtained in Germany and will make
experiments in eighteen States in the cul
ture of the SUGAR beet. He is very san
guine of success and thinks there is not
the least danger of failure. He also be-
lieves we could grow all the goats we
want, instead Of importing $40, 600, 900
worth of goat skins, us we did during the
last fiscal year. AS to sheep. he says
American farmers are beginning to realize
there is big money both in wool and NUT
ton. lie also believes the United States
should raise their own vegetables, hops,
hay and rice, instead of buying millions
of dollars worth of these PRODUCTS annu-
ally from outsiders.
When he goes off into vanilla making,
tea raising, camphor culture. the grow
ing OF cork and rubber trees AMI TO the
production of opium and tTuh.es, he
wanders considerably away from the
Legitimate fields of farming enterprise;
but even in these things, by beginning
early, the people of the United States
might in the next half century be in
ala. M, Mt of hn n 81
the whole, there are many things in the
recommendation of the Secretary of
Agriculture deserving OF the careful con.
sideration of farmers and gardeners zen
orally and should he succeed in making
America "A sugar producing nation he will
deserve the everlasting gratitude of his
countrymcn.

from communication from him which
was recently published in these columns.
That Mr.. Mckinley was elected by COR
rupt methods, the gigantic scale of which
dwarfed all previous records of infamy
in all the ages, all unprejudiced students
of the political history of the nations
must concede. Never before in the his
tory of the world did bribery, fraud.
force, lying and deception assemble such
an army to rape the virtue of nation.
1t was to the promoters of such degrading

If the recent fight between the Greeks
and Turks caused an advance in wheat in
this country of five cents bushel on Sat
urday, it is reasonable to suppose that the
formal declaration of war beteween those
two countries will cause rise in provis-
ions of all kinds. 1t is an ill wind that
blows nobody good, and while war any.
where is to be deplored, the people of this
country will be prepared to take every nd.

GEN. FIELDS DISCLAIMERS.

To the..Edi tor of The Times: 1 received
this morning n copy of The Times of the
10Th in which appears my article upon
the subject of constitutional conven-
ton and your criticism upon the article.
beg to express my thanks for the cour-
tesy of its publication and find nothing
Objectionable in your criticism. But you
have misinterpretea my allusion to bust
ness men as corrupters of the ballot box
and suffrage. desire to say that did
not intend to refer to the business men of
Virginia. With.you, wish they would
take a more active part in our political
affair. My alluson was to business men,
the owners and promoters OF trusts and
other combinations of capital. The class
referred to is the class to which Mark
Hanna belongs, and.oo who, by corrupt
methods and the improper use of money,
defeated Mr.. Bryan and elected Mr.. Nc
kinley President of the United States
last fall. Surely the people have not for.
gotten this. and now 1t is stated In the
public press. that Mr. Hanna and his class
have already accumulated 81, 200, 900 to
secure the denomination and election of
Mr.. Mckinley in 1900. | am sure The
Times has no apology to make for this
class, and this is the class my article de-
nounces This class is seeking to convert
our popular form of Government into an
odious money oligarchy. n

A correspondent OF the New York Sun
writing from India of the dangers in eat
ing and drinking there since the inception
Of the Bubonic plague and the prevalence
of cholera in certain districts, says the
only safe thing in the way of nutriment
and refreshments is ..whiskey. What IL
happy time many fellows in this country
would have if such a condition of things
prevailed here. They would take their
medicine with regularity and frequency
that would not only test its curative
properties, bnt prove their abiding faith
in its usefulness and efficacy.

A writer in giving series of rules for
promoting longevity closes with advising
all DESTROYS of approximating this much
to be desired physical condition to 'spend
part of each day in muscular work, part
in study, and part in good deeds.' 1t is
fortunate for the logic of his theories that
in his divisions he does not state that
parts of the day mentioned should be of
equal duration as to time, else how could
he reconcile them to literary men who are
noted, as rule, no less for their longev-
ity than for their sedentary habits.

The interest everywhere in sugar beet
culture in the United States promises the
most important results in that line I'M
less the matter is oyerdone by ignorance
and speculation. 1t would be a grand
thing for the people of this country to
make. their own sugar; but one year of
misdirected efforts on a large scale might
result in failure that would discourage
further efforts in that line for years to
come.

The appearance of General Sanguilly at
insur"ent headquarters in Cuba under II
broken parole and in utter disregard of
the sacredness of the oath which he has
lately taken, would do much more harm
to the cause of Cuban independence in six
weeks than the combined efforts of the
Spanish armies in six months For the
honor of humanity and for the sake Of
the Cuban cause, it il hoped that General
Sanguilly will promptly disavow all such
base projects as have recently been attrib-
utable to him.

The sale of this mill will be cause Of
genuine rejoicing. Its idleness during
the past year or more has resulted in de-
preston in business here that, everyone
anticipates, will now be at an end. With
our other factories running in good shape

may not fairly expect continuance of the

IF WE KNEW.

Bessie w. Smith in Chicago Tribune
Could we but draw the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could We judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner,
All the while we loathe the sin;
Could we know the powers working
To overthrow integrity,
We should judge each others errors
With more patient charity.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim, external roughness
Seem, / wonder, just the same?
Should We help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
All, we judge each other harshly,
knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not tie fount of action
Is less turbid at its source,
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good
Oh. we'd love each other better
