Chicago Record.
War in its concrete horror has
little to commend it to civilization.
Only in its abstract phases, when
its butchery is done and when IFS
benefcent effects are analyzed, does
it become recourse which judg-
ment and humanity can Justify. 1t
is too early to count great good
against hideous cost in the present
contest with Spain, but at least the
future may be anticipated with ref
ercnce to wars reaction on the
United States and its citizens.
The American people are suffer
ing from an age of materialism.
To-day, with its selfish possibilities
and opportunities, has been wor-
SHIPPED as never Baal was worship
ed. Only material present was
considered selfshness conceded
that there was no future, and in
search of a past the American look
ed back to the revolution or to the
war of 1872. The civil war, being
a quarrel between brothers could
not he a source of true national
pride. Yet always war and its
victories have been the things to
which patriotism and courage and
valor have pointed.
Now, in the midst of our mater
ialism of interrupted peace, a great
emergency has come, of a nature to
remind every man of his forgotten
allegiance to county. The more
menacing this emergency becomes
the more closely will the bonds of
the country's cause draw the peo-
pie together. Who can measure in
the present the value to the Amer
lean of the courage which carried
Roosevelt's rough riders through
the battle at La Quasina? Who
can say if Gen. Shafter shall leave
his dead in every trench, on every
height and in every street of Santi-
ago, that the record of it may not
be imperishable glory to newer gen
erations in happier times?
Increase the Americans pride in
the heroism of his people and he
becomes better man and better
American.

TREAT YOUR PAPER RIGHT.

Subscribers to country papers,
says an exchange, often allow their
subscription to became delinquent
through carelessness, and yet feel
insulted if the paper is stopped or
a statement of delinquency is sent
them They do not expect any
courtesy from the metropolitan
papers, but the country papers are
expected to come on whether they
are paid or not. This is an unjust
expectation. Because he is an edi-
tor of country newspaper is no
reason why a man should carry you
year after year. The income from
subscription to newspaper is an
important item. Like snow flakes
they are individually small but
aggregated they pile up wonderfully.
They must come if the publisher
pay his bills, which fall due every
month Of the year. The Editor Of
the Jasper COURIER hopes delin-
quent subscribers to this paper will
take this as meaning them individ-
ually, for it is intended for the con-
sideration of each delinquent.

With the suspending Of payment
by banks comes great inconvenience,
or loss and distress, to many de-
positors. Although the national
bank ng law guards the bill holders
against loss, depositors have TO take
their own risk. So the ecor omic
savings of years, the provision made
for rainy day or old age, the
foundation that was being laid for a
start in business, is all gone with no
redress. The habit of saving is one
that needs to be encouraged among
the people, but the experiences of
the last few months will cause
many to conclude that they may "a
well enjoy their morey as it is
earned, instead Of depositing it in
unsafe institutions for the benefit
of others. With postal savings
banks, as advocated by the Prohi.
bition party, these losses would all
be avoided, and the depositor be a:
secure as the bill-holder.

JASPER INDIANA. FRIDAY. JULY 22, 1893.
Scab in Heads OF Wheat.

Purdue University Experiment station, I
July ", ls.'s
The season which has been SO
favorable to many kinds of crops,
has also developed to mo.e than
usual prominence number OF fun
guous diseases. Many fields OF
wheat, that just before ripening
promised a good yield, have been
suddenly struck with kind
of blight that kills the heads 81
parts of them, and renders the
grain worthless. The part of the
head affected is easily detected at
this time, az it turns prematurcly
white, while the healthy part re-
Gains green. The kernels become
shriveled, and soon look moldy.
This injury is SO considerable in
different parts of the state that
farmers are alarmed, and have ac-
cused the wheat midge and green
nv Of causing the damage. 1t Ii
not due, however, to any insect,
but to minute fungus that attacks
the wheat heads at the time Of flow
ering. The spores Of the fungus
blow through the air, lodge on the
delicate parts inside the flower and
soon penetrate the kennel and en-
velope it with mesh of moldy fila
ments which sap the life OF the ker
mel, and forming new spores spread
the disease to other flowers anc
throughout the field. Looked a
carefully the heads appears pinkisl
from the abundance of the slightly
colored spores. The disease is yer,
appropriately called "wheat scab. ,
Although there is no known rem
edy for this malady, in fact it ha
not yet received as much study a
its Importance warrants, yet on
or two precautionary measures hav
come to light and should be born
in mind. 1t is observed that som
varieties are less subject to seal
than others, and that fortunatel,
these include some of the old sub
stantial varieties. On the Expert
ment Station grounds at Lafayette
the varieties Velvet Chaff, Earl
Ripe, New HYBRID Prolific, Harves
King and Michigan Amber showe'
almost no scab this sea son, Will
other varieties were much injured
for example, Oakta Chief had 2
per cent. of the heads affected
Diamond Grit, 40 per cent. Pedi
gree Giant, 60 per cent. Whit
q )lden Cross, 75 per cent, an,
others in intermediate amounts
BY taking into account the date @
ripening, however, it is seen tina
all varieties that ripened with u
before the first of July are almos
or quite free of scab, while thcs
which rlpened later are all more o
less affected. This agrees with tn
observations of previous seasons.
At present the best measure
against scab are selections of earl,
varieties, and Fastening maturit.
by early seeding, good culture an'
similar methods. Nothing can b
done to mitigate the injury after tn
scab shows in the field.

Monument 10 L0veioy.

Sixty years ago-Nov. :, ls3l-at
Alton, ILL.,, Elijah p. Loveioy be-
came IA martyr TO the cause of free
dom. The story is IA familiar on,
lie was Congregatio nal minister,
born and reared in Maine, who
came to the west imbued with in
tense feelings against slavery as
then existing IT, the south. In adj
dition to his duties as preacher OF
the gospel he felt called upon To
actively enter the contest, waxing
hotter each year, that was to result
in delivering the land from that
system of bondage, which practi-
cally made lie of the foundation
principles of the Declaration of In
dependence. So he started an
anti-slavery paper, called the Alton
Observer. Free press and free
speech were not tolerated in a large
part of the United States-north or
south-in those eventful years
Twice was his Office wrecked by
plo-slavery mobs, but again he Sc
cured material and continued to
publish the Observer. A third time
the mob, said to have been mainly
composed of Missourlans, cam up
on him. He and his friends took
refuge in a warehouse, the doors
and windows of which were strong
and the mob were unable To gain
admission. The infuriated men
sought 10 dislodge the Lovejoy
party by throwing burning brands
upon the roof. Twice Lovejoy
climbed from the window and
snatched the brands, the second
time he did so receiving a bullet
wound from which he died shortl Y
after.
So sodden was the conscience of
the north that even this tragedy
failed to arouse it to the real spirit
of slavery-a spirit which demand
ed complete submission to its de-
mands to be lot only let alone
where it was buI to spread into new
territory. But with the anti-slavery
party the name OF Lovejoy became
one to conjure by, so that doubtless
his death as martyr did more to
hasten the downfall of slavery than
would his life if heightened by
many years.
Now, after sixty years, a beauti-
ful monument reared to his memory
has Just be,n dedicated at Alton.
1t has been built by subscription
from the people, combined
with an appropriation OF 50, ,CoOby
the state. Eulogies upon his short
but fruitful life were made by emf
nent representati men. All now
Join in honoring him for standing
bravely for an unpopular cause, un-
dismayed 10y threats and assaults,
and at last sealing his faith with
his blood.
So to the martyred Haddock and
Gambrell, some day after the vic
tory has reen finally won over the
iegalized liquor trailic-will the
people Of the states of Iowa and
Georgia rear handsome memorial
stones, and all will unite in honor
ing their memories, for standing
unto death in this conflict to re-
move a greater evil than that OF
chattel slavery.
None who now sacrifice and labor
to hasten the revolution that will
overthrow the drink traffic and IT.
