LAST KICK OF THE NATION"

"The long struggle over the annexation

complIshed. All that could he said against

Stevens five or more years age. and emo
ing with the joint resolution Of Congress
by which The treaty was superseded, has
been said. II Is sufficient to say now that
the annexation project was dead beyond
the hope of resurrection when the war
with Spain broke out. That event and
Admiral Dewcy's victory at Manila
brought II to life once more. The argu-
ment that we must have halfway house
between San Francisco and the Philip
pines carried the day, although 1t is not
yet settled that We are to retain the
Philippines or any part thereof. our own
views of the annexation policy are not
changed by the vote of the Senate, but
we shall hope that the consequences How

leprosy, moral. physical, and Industrial
prevailing In the Islands may not be en-
grated upon the United States.

bitterest enemy OF good government

confronted This is his last shot He

some pains to ascertain the exact

What is especially singular to us Is.

here was only the repetition for the

A singular and laughable featur,

LONDON, July 1.-THE report Of
Santiagos capitulation reached the
House Of Commons at II o'clock to-
night. The view generally taken by
British statesmen is that this means,
that the end of the American-Spanish
war is in sight. The British Foreign
Office has no knowledge yet OF any
peace negotiations. however. The
Government here apparently has rea-
son to expect that such negotiations
will be opened through the French

matters.

One of the most eloquent, If not the
most scholarly and eloquent speeches
delivered In the Senate on the Annex
alton question was that of Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, who has not
been for some years, in favor Of It.
He confessed that recent events had
changed his views. He firmly main
tanned that he was not in favor of
acquiring territory, but he regarded
the annexation OF Hawaii as the real
ization of the policy Of American
statesmen of both parties, during the
last sixty years, and that 1t had really
no connection with any general scheme
of territorial grabbing.
Speaking Of the character of the peo-
pie of the Islands, in the future, he
said:
IF they get a people there likely to
select such men as Mr.. Dole, or Mr..
Thurston, or Mr.. Damon, for Senators
and Representatives, they will be a
very good people for statehood and
for American citizenship and Ameri-
can Sovereignty"
But the Senator said there would
be no hurry about establishing state
hood, until there was a population here
of million or fifteen hundred thou
sand"
To the many Earnest Patriots here
who believe that the missionary
must CO." the words of the Senator,
spoken to the American people. must
be indeed bitter. He said
II have regretted to hear in this de-
bate some sneers at the missionaries
and the sons of missionaries, who have
redeemed Hawaii and who are now
presenting her at the gates to the
people of the United States. | know
something about them. know some
thing of the New England mission
aries. and OF the like missionaries from
other parts of the country, who, when
ever either in a foreign land or with
in our own borders on the frontiers,
| there has been a contest for ciyiliza-
been in the front rank. knew the
fathers of these men in my youth and
have watched their character and
career ever since. The cornerstone of
the Church precedes the cornerstone
OF the cabin. There Is not a story of
true herOism or true glory in human
annals which can surpass the story
of missionaries in this or in foreign
lands whom America has sent forth
as the servants of civilization and pi-
ETY.. They have taken their lives in
their hands"
| In this day of our pride and eXul
tation at the deeds OF our young heroes
in Manila and in Cuba, let us not for
get that the American missionary in
the paths of peace belongs to the same
heroic stock and is an example of the
same heroic temper"
These are the words spoken by one
| Of the oldest Senators, one whose
learning and judgment have rarely
gone astray during a long period of
services. Moreover, he does not be-
long to the same religious denomina-
ton as the missionaries who have
lived here.
1t Is a pity that he has not the
standing and influence of the Earnest
Patriots here, who devoutly feel that
''the missionary must GO" 1t is his
misfortune, and he must humbly sub
nit to the Divine will which makes
his lot so inconspicuous and powerless
IN comparison with that of the pow
erful party here who believes that 1t

The Three Years Shift, With Modiflca-
lions, For tho Cotton States.
There is no question that the fertility
OF the soil can be maintained for much
longer time and at the same time larger
crops be grown by judicious rotation.
In densely populated countries where
the land has to be taxed to the utmost
to sustain the population rotation Of
crops is as scrupulously observed as ma
nuring the soil. With the small num-
Der OF leading crops heretofore grown
In the cotton states satisfactory rota-
tiOn has been rather difficult to arrange.
The three year shift of cotton, corn,
small grain and then cotton again has
decided defects. which Southern Guilt
vator comments upon as follows:

planting time is in condition to be bad
ly washed II land is hilly aud to have
its soluble nitrogen leached out by win
ter rains. This may be partly cured by
sowing rye or crimson clover at the last
blowing of cotton. While the rye may
not make very much growth by early
spring. when it would have to be plowed
under in preparing the land for corn, ex-
periments have shown that small
grains appropriate most of the nitrogen
they contain during the first three or
four months of their growth. Hence rye
sown in August would probably take
up by December most of the soluble nj
trogen compound in the soil that is liza
bic to be leached out by the winter
rains and hold it for the succeeding corn
crop. Some one has objected to such
seeding down with rye on the ground of
expense. A half bushel of seed to the
acre would suffice for the purpose in
view. and half bushel Of seed raised

Saving plant food is equivalent to buy
ing it, and all fertilizing of land costs
money.
If peas are sown broadcast at last
blowing of corn, the land will be in
good condition to grow a small grain
crop, the latter calling for q good sup
ply of nitrogen, which the pea vines
will supply. Cotton follows a small
grain very we'll, and if peas are sown
on grain stubble there will be little
need of applying heterogeneous fertilizer
to the cotton crop which follows. With
above notifications according to the
authority quoted, the three year shift
becomes fairly good one and should
commend itself further for the reason
that if practiced it would keep the cot
ton crop within legitimate bounds.

Do Commercial Fertilizers Pay?
Experiments carefully conducted un

Very rich lands, like alluvial soils of
river bottoms. which produce very re-
munerative crops without manuring,
will not bear the expense Of commercial
fertilizers-therei is such thing as car
rying coal to Newcastle-but ordinarily
good lands will pay better profits from
use of commercial fertilizers than very
poor land. The plan Of limiting cultiva
ton to the good land only on one farm
is, therefore, further recommended by
the fact that it is ON such land that
commercial fertilizers can be used with
greater profits.

Winter Grain In Drills.

There is probably no invention that
has done so much to make winter grain
sowing safe as that Of the grain drill.
The fact that it deposits the seed grain
in a depression, leaving ridge on each
side, is great advantage. The drill
marks are often filed with snow SO as
to prevent thawing of the soil over the
roots. The ridges always melt down as
they are disintegrated by freezing and
thawing. and even if the wheat roots
are slightly raised the fine soil falling
over them will usually repair any dam
age that may be done. So soon as the
surface soil is dry enough it should he
lightly narrowed. This breaks down all
the remains of the ridge, and if the
roller is used to compact this soil
around the grain ssots the plant will
send up as many as three or four times
as many stalks as If it had not this
care.-American Cultivator.

Opening Up Land For Cane.

Opening Up Land For Cane.
In the low lying districts Of Louisiana
the use of dredges will be very i'm
portant factor in opening up the land
for cane cultivation. according to Rural
New Yorker. "In many Of the gulf
parishes the perfection of drainage can
be obtained only when tide level is
brought to back fields through the use
of wide outlets, which cannot be made
chcaply without dredges. The dredge
boat most suitable for cutting through
cypress swamps for the formation Of
plantation canals is lighter than that
used for heavy digging through bayou
hanks. where the cut may have to be 80
feet wide and IL feet deep, in order to
reach tide level by the cheapest route. "
