1t expressed occasionally, that summer
following tends to conserve the moist
ure supply. If this is true, it should
be extensively adopted by the far
mers on unirrigated lands. A 6sack
crop once in two years is better than
3-sack crop every year. We would
be glad to publish the views and ex-
periences of farmers on this subject.
A POOR DIPLOMAT
Stockton independent: Debs is a very
poor diplomat. He contemplates march
ing 10000 of the unemployed to some
Western State and there founding
colony which he expects will soon be-
come powerful enough to so remodel
the Constitution that they can put So
cialistic ideas in the form of law. With
this notice no State or Territory will
offer him and his legions inducements
to settle if States at which they aim
do not take measures to shut them out
He might try Alaska as a field in which
TO organize a State, but would be likely
TO find difficulty in gaining admission
to the Union.
PARENTAL DUTY.

his mother" There. it would seem, is

True it is not. and the fault is not
so much with the laws of the land or
with the child as with the parents. Yet
it is very doubtful If this can be cured
short of generation or two of thorough
parent training. Many a father and
many a mother do not know how to
handle a child but ordinarily wayward,

The Reward of Righteousness.

There is much of spurious goodness
which is good only for the sake of some
expected reward. 1t is pleasant to be
appreciated and to have ones efforts
commended, but he vi o is honest for
the reward he Will get, who speaks the
truth for the praise he will receive, who
prays and speaks and gives so as to be
allowed to enter heaven, is neither hon
est, truthful nor dcvout. The righteous
man loves the right because it is right
and not for any reward he may receive
for doing right Its popularity or un-
popularity does not change his estimate
Of and attitude toward the truth He
serves God because he loves Him and
not for any ho!e Of getting into heaven
or of betteril4; his 'Sorldly prospects,
His aim is to please God for the love he
bears and nct fsr any prize he hopes
for. The greateE' possible compensation
to the truthful IL is rot the praise of
men or angels, but tie possession of the
truth. The hisl est reward of honesty
is conscious integrity. Righteousness is
its own best prize. Goodness because it
is good, purity because it is pure, holi-
ness because it is lovahle, brotherhood
because it is Eeautiful-these the Chris.

The Use of Frazer.

1t is not merely for the purpose of
getting things. 1t is n great mistake to
consider prayer as only asking for some
thing Petition, asking, pleading, is
truly a part of it, and often an impor-
tant part, but far from the whole. The
Lords Prayer may we'll be regarded as
our model. If we carefully consider it,
we find it to contain alteration of God
as the Father possessed of all heavenly
power and blessedness. Confession of
unworthiness and acknowledgment of
fault lead to supplication for pardon,
grace and any blessings we need. Inter
cession for blessings upon others also
finds true place in prayer with thanks.
giving for benefits received All these
are essential parts of prayer None of
them should be omitted. since the use
of prayer is to come into heart commu-
Mon with God. This can only be done
by realizing the adorable presence Of
God as Father, thankful recognition of
His mercies, humble confession of in
trinity and wrongdoing, earnest desire
for divine strength and guidance and
importation of the graces of spiritual
life. Then comes the asking for materi-
al benefits and earthly good.

Nobility.

True worth is in being, not seeming;

Some little good, not in the dreaming
OF great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness
And spite of the fancies of youth,
There's nothing kingly as kindness
And nothing so loyal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing Of the sparrow,
The bush for robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children Of men.

Though he who makes courtsfip to glory
Gives all that he hath for her SMILE

Alas, it is only to prove
That nothing's sacred honor
And nothing so loyal as Lowell

Our part IS to work and to wait.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 5.-An official
count of the ballots cast on Tuesday
last, made in most of the counties yes
terday, leaves no further room for
doubt that the Republicans have con-
troll of both branches of the legisla-
ture, and that Republican will sue
coed Arthur P German in the United
States senate. Five members of the
assem- bly and one senator were taken
from the Democratic list of probable
tiles and added to that of the Repub-
licans. This gives the Republicans 40
members in the house and the Demo
gratis az. 1t also gives the Republic
ans 1s senators to for the Demo
Gratis, and majority on joint ballot

Among those most prominently
mentioned as the probable successor

New YORK, Nov. 5.-The unofficial
vote for mayor of Greater New York
follows: Van WyclS, 92s, 943; Low,
TAT, 365; Tracy, 1Ol, 176; George, 19,747;
Gleason, sol; Van Wyck's plurality,
s1'57S
The vote for Van Wycl1 is about
44.25 per cent of the total vote cast, or
less than the As. 81 per cent cast for
Bryan 1896 in the same territory.
The united vote for Low and Tracy
shows IA, 1877 more than Van Wyck re-
ceived. The Metropolitan district is
normally Democratic and the plural
ity for Van Wycl is return to nor
mel conditions in an election not in
huenced by national issues.
Seth Low, the Citizens Union candi-
date for mayor, carried several as
sembly districts and polled large
vote, but all the boroughs returned
pluralities for the Tammany forces.
With the exception possibly of six of
the twenty-one assemblymen in
Brooklyn and nine of the thirty-five
in New York, all the Tammany candi-
dates are elected. In Queens four OF
the assemblymen are Democrats The
Citizens Union elected two assembly
men in New York county.
The present representation in the
assembly from the counties in the
Greater New York is. New York
county, 90 Democrats and l2 Repub-
licans; Kings county, Democrats and
Is Republicans; Queens county, Dem
ocrats and 4 Republicans; Richmond
county, 1 Republican.
At least eighteen Democratic coun-
cilmen, including the president have
been elected and the board of alder
men will be Democratic by large
majority.

Bloody Encounter on Streets of Frank

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. SELECTION
day was ushered in by a bloody en-
counter on the streets between Repub-
Leans and Democrats, resulting in
the death of three men and
the wounding of two or three
more. The difficulty began by Frank
Egbert, Republican, organizing
party to head off party OF Demo
Gratis under the leadership of Ben Mar
shall, who, Egbert claimed, had taken
a number of negroes to the coun.
try to prevent their voting to-day
Egbert, it is said, with his party
awaited Marshall's return and fired on
him from ambush, wounding him and
Smith seriously and slightly injuring
Alex Graham, negro. Deputy Sheriff
Deakins then organized posse and
attempted to arrest Egbert and his
party. The latter appeared on the
street brandishing their revolvers.
The two parties met and firing
began. Fifty shots or more were fred
and Egbert were instantly killed,
while Deakins was mortally wounded.
Howard Glore, one of Egbert's men,
was also killed and Walter Gains, a
negro, was severely hurt. 1t is re-
ported that he has died.

plete returns from the state demon
strate that the Repu blican landslides
for the past two years have been re-
versed, if not by giving as large ma
jority for the Democrats, at least by
changing something like 24o, 900 votes.
Governor Blacks plurality in the state
last year was over 900. John
Palmer, the Republican secretary OF
state, won the year previous by over
100000. The indications are that
these enormous pluralities have been
swept away and reverse plurality of
between 80, 900 and So 900 given.
The greatest surprises of the re-
turns are the great gains made in the
assembly by the Democrats, many OF
them being in counties and districts
where there was no expectation upon
the part of Democratic managers OF
winning. Republicans explain these
gains by attributing them to the
heated municipal campaigns and the
trading of votes The morning re-
turns indicate that the Republicans
will still control the assembly,' al
though by largely decreased ma
jority.
More surprising, perhaps, than the
returns upon the state and assembly
district tickets, were results of the
municipal campaign in the large cities.
Buffalo, Rochester, Binghampton,
Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy and
Schenectady, elected Democratic
mayors In Albany the conditions
were very similar to those in New
York. Two Republican candidates
split up the vote of that party and al
lowed the Democrats to win The
combined Republican vote was 1000
in excess of the Democratic vote. In
Buffalo and Rochester Republican sue
cess was thought to be almost assured
prior to the election, but the results
are foreign to the predictions.
