A FEW years ago the Mugwumps and
Mossbacks were dead sure that we
could not manufacture tinplate in this
country. They howled in derision at
the =" tinplate plants for political effect" :"
and the New York Times devoted much
of its space to publishing pictures of the
"shanties which figured as manufacture
ing establishments" But in spite of
their jeers the industry has grown SO
that last year we only imported about
one-ffth our ordinary purchases from
Great Britain. The balance was made at
home, and the money for it went into
the pockets of American workingmen.
Last week we began shipping tinplate
abroad, the first consignment going to

TIE London Times is unduly ex-

WHEN we bought Alaska for 81, ,5O0,-

walled grief that knew no comforting.
They felt as bad about it as they do
about the annexation of Hawaii and
Cuba. But there has not been day
since when we would have sold the
country back for 10 times what it cost,
and now we would not part with it for
any price.

can't see what they want with the Grand
Army men. If they think there is any money
in them they are sadly mistaken. Probably
a few hotels might make something out of the
better class and more well-to-do members,
but as for the mob that they bring together,
nobody will be benefited by them These

and they expect to be entertained, and treated
by the citizens who invite the Reunion, as
they roam around the city. Then, there are
the negro Posts who will look for and demand
all the courtesies, privileges and attentions
extended to the white Posts. They will 20

ON, and to get whatever they call for
Another thing: Numbers of them are GER
tain to become intoxicated, gloat over the
capture of the Capital of the defunct Con
federacy, in which they will claim to have
participated and trouble will follow.
1t will be a sorrowful sight for the noble
women of Richmond to see these black and
white Grand Army men roaming through
their city's ieautiful streets, and rejoicing
over its downfall 80 years ago / say, let
them alone, and let them have their Reunion
elsewhere.
In the same edition of the paper,
another " Virginia ex-Confederate" says:
Richmond, the cradle and heart of the Con-
fedcracy, with its sacred memories, its grand
monuments, its halowed graves, and glo-
rious history is not the place for a Grand
Army Reunion. The alluring almighty dol
lar will not compensate for the notifications,
humiliations, and heart-hurnings that such
Reunion would occasion. Imagine these
Grand Army men-negro, native. and for
eigncr-thronging through the Confederate
Museum, and then imagine the style of the
remarks that would be made; also, ponder
the effect of the injury or DETACHMENT of any
monument, or relic of the Confederacy by
these men, and think you will conclude that
Richmond is the last place for a Grand Army

The strenuous efforts of the Philadel-
phia comrades to get the veterans rein
stated who were discharged from the
United States Mint there by the Cleve-
land regime, have at last resulted in
the reinstatement Of 13 Of the so.
This will be severe disappointment
to the veterans everywhere, who have
been watching the proceedings with
interest. Every one of the dismissed
men were turned out for purely political
reasons, and should have been reinstated.
WE have the responsibility that
always inheres to strength, and of
which strength cannot divest itself. We
are responsible for the rule Of justice and
humanity in the Western World, be-
cause we are incomparably the strongest

We are in the same position that a

self to prevent them. We cannot
escape share of the responsibility for
the outrages in Cuba. We owe it to

A BADLY INFORMED BISHOP.

BADLY INFORMED BISHOP.
In sermon at White River Junction,
VT, Bishop Hall, of the Protestant Epis-
copal Diocese of Vermont, used these
astonishing words:
You did not invite me here to say smooth
things, but as preacher Of Righteousness.
say that patriotism and self-sacriice must
be consistent. The country is ready to do
honor to its heroes. But when, 80 years
after the war has closed, we find q pension
list as large as the expense Of keeping up q
standing army in Germany, it shows that
the selfsacrifce that animated one genera
alton is gone. Bleeding the country instead
of bleeding for the country is mark OF this
generation. Our pensions make our coun-
try an object of Jest and ridicue in the eyes
of other nations. The tone of public sentl-
ment must be raised to stop this. Inc vet
Grams ought to commence the work.
1t is clear at once that the good
Bishop-we assume that he is good, for
all Bishops ought to be-has been con-
fning bis intellectual diet too closely to
such soldier-hating papers as the New
York Euening Post, Times, World, ct al
He has initiated their exact line of
argument, copied, word for word, their
favorite phrases. The good Bishop should
vary and extend his literary browsing
into pastures fresher, more healthful,
stimulating, patriotic, and American
than those products Of the alien COM
post Of New York City.
Let him send 81 for years subscrip-
ton to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE, read
it regularly for 50 consecutive weeks,
and we are sure that his mental health
will be improved, his views clearer,
broader, and more American, and his
usefulness to his flock will thereby be
proportionately augmented.

An English woman recently lost her
ring in some cake she had baked. In
stead of cutting up all the cake to
find it, or running the risk of endan-
gering her family's lives by leaving IL
to be swallowed, she put the cake un-
der the x rays and marked the place
where the ring was hidden.

Keep busy. The man who has moth
ing to do is the most miserable Of be-
ings. If you nave no regular work,
do chores, as farmers DO when it
rains too hard to work III the field. In
occupation we forget our troubles,
and get arespite from sorrow. The
man whose mind and hands are busy
finds no time to weep and wall. Ii
work is slack, spend the time in read
ing. No man ever KIN wv too much.
The hardest students in the world are
the old men who know the most. If
you lack books, there are free and
very cheap libraries, at least in cities,
at your command. The man who
does not acquire some item Of useful
information between daybreak and
bedtime must mournfully say, with
the Roman emperor: 81 have lost
a day.

We mistake strong feelings for a
strong character. A man who bea rs
all before him-before whose frown
domestics tremble, and whose bursts
of fury make the children of the house
quake-because he has his will obey
ed and his own way in all things, we
call him strong man. The truth is,
that is the weak one; it are his pas
sions that are strong; he, mastered
bythem, is weak. You must meas
ure the strength of man by the
power of the feeling which he sub
dues, not by the power which subdue
him. And hence, composure is very
often the best result of strength. Did
we never see man receive a flag
rant insult and only grow a little pale,
and then reply quietly? That was a
man spiritually strong. Or did we
never see a man in anguish stand as
if carved out Of solid rock, mastering
himself? or one bearing a hopeless
daily trial remain silent, and never
tell the world what it was that can
kered his home peace? That is
strength. He who, with strong pas
sions, remains chaste-he who keenly
sensitive with manly power of indig-
nation in him, can be provoked, yet
can restrain himself and forgive
these are strong men, spiritual heroes.

Horse men are beginning to realize
that good roadster of an accepted
type, properly broken and bitted, is
worth more than poor track per-
former-in fact, that such animals are
very scarce and that their owners
may ask and receive their own prices
for them.
There is an abundance of the very
best material in the American trotter
from which the ideal roadster could
be bred. What is wanted is an ami
NAL that can travel right along on a
road pulling any vehicle from light
buggy Or road wagon to roundabout
or surrey. He should be able to do a
three minute gait when requir ed
show style and action without wei ght
or other artificial devices, should pos
sess true, open gait without booting
of any sort, and last, but not least.
he should be even tempered, level
headed and properly bitted. There
are not many such horses to be had,
amp therein lies the breeders oppor-
tunity.

OUR FARMERS.
AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Charcoal is beneficial TO hogs.

Charcoal is beneficial TO hogs.
Care and fertilizers make the farm.
IF there are any old ewes in the
flock feed them ground feed.
Convert cheap grain into meat and
send TO market in that way.
4 sheep well fed and cared for will
shear more and better wool.
To make the most of it give the
stock your personal attention.
Corn and oats mixed makes better
ration for sheep than corn alone.
During the winter is good time to
plan out the farm and the fencing.
Keep watch on the stock and see
that they do not infested with lice.
Do what is necessary to be done,
well, SO that it will not. be necessary
to do over.
No animal should be kept that in
some way will not pay for it's food
and give profit.
Some principal reasons why sys-
tenn of mixed farming, which includ-
es the raising OF stock largely is sur
er and at the same time more profit
able, is that the farm is thus kept up
to itsioriginal fertility. These farm-
ers never make an entire failure in
crops, however bad the season. His
fat stock give him cash twice each
year: once in the spring from winter
feeding and again in the fall from
pasturage. In the case of sheep, this
gain is added to by the wool sold in
summer. His dairy and poultry yard
will furnish no small sum during the
spring, summer and autumn. The
milk, butter and cheese, and we'll
kept garden will furnish one half the
living of a family. These rules will
apply to all sections of the county
being modified only by climatic con-
ditions add the adoption of certain
animals and plants to a climate, The
rule will apply always.
