THE NEW YORk's CAT.

There is a war story going the rounds which, however strange it may seem, is voUched for by every jacky and several officers of the cruiser New York, and then the cat is exhibited as convincing proof. The cat is Q black one called Nigger He is young and is active in this northern climate. but on the blockade he spent much tiTns sleep ing. His favori>e resting place was the fOrecastle, and he was often to be seen stretched out on the cool side Of a hatch coaming CT at the base Of the forward turret.
 On ;ne night of June 4. the one after that on which the Merrinac was sunk, the New Orleans. on ths eastern end Of the blockading line, opened fire at about 9:30 on what was taken 30 be a Spanish torpedo boa. The New York headed in the direction Of the fir ing immediately and also opened fire The first shot was from one of the S. inch guns in the forward turret. aimed pretty well forward, and with but slight elevation. Of course the concus- sicn was heavy. More than that the shot was unexpected, and several men standing about the forecastle were thrown frcn their feet by the force of the discharge.
 Now the chief beauty of the story is that no C-a saw just what happened 10 the cat at the time the gun was fired. and herd has been no attempt to fake any description. There is simply a hiatus left. and the story jumps to the next morning watch. when the men en- gagged in washing down the decks heard the pIaintive cry Cf q cat from over ,he ships side.

We heard a couple of town
"doods' makes some disparaging
remarks yesterday concerning a
farmer who was upon the streets
and whose pants were not fresh
from the tailor's press and whose
SHOES were of a different pattern
than those ,wsrnE by the critics.
You poor pulled up ihbeclles! Do
you know who the farmer is? He
is the man who moves the world.
If he were to 60 ora a strike and re-
fuse to raise a crop for a single
year the effect would be more dis
astrous than would result if all the
railroad men. all the miners and
all the trade unions combined were
to quit. With his g~litterlng share
and with his blinking binder the
farmer tolls on furnishing SUBJ
sisteuce for the whole world and
without his prosperity the goods
would rot upon the merchants
shelf and there would result a par
alysis Of business on land and sea.
The man, though above the aver
age In intelligence IS dressed in
homespun, and if he has about him
any shining equipments it is not a
paste diamond ring but a IA inch
plowshare hidden ander six inches
of good mother earth, Stop, when
you are about to speak d~erisively
OF a farmer, and consider and see

more upon the farmer in his work.

1t is dawning upon some who have
hitherto refused to admit the high
minded craftsmanship Of President
Mckinley, that be is the man of the
hour. Before the war began, he
exhausted every resource of diplom-
acy, hoping till the last to bring
peace to Cuba without the disaster
of war. Failing in that, he would
have the world understand that this
war is not on our part inspired by
the greed of conquest,n nor by the de-
sire for revenge. cat this unsurpas-
sed achievement writes the Presi-
dent, in his message on Dewey's
victory. "the great heart of our nation
throbs, not with BIO asting, or with
greed Of conquest, but with deep
gratitude that this triumph has come
in a just cause. and hat by the grace
of God an effective step has been
taken toward the attinment of the
wished-for peace"
Reversnt patriotic and stateman-
like words are these, accurately re-
hecting the best sentiment of the
best people and truly portraying
the motive and purpose of this war.
"Remember the Maine," is well
enough, but "For love of Freedom
is better.

The wheat producing countries
which have ordinarily had during
recent decades, a surplus for export
but which this year will have none,
now definately includes Russia,
India, and Spain. The exact sta
alton in Australia is not dsfnately
known, but the probabilities are
strong that no wheat can be spared
from that country. So likewise in
Argentina. This leaves the United
States ahd Canada practically the
only countries which will, il ne
phenomenal disaster visits the grow
ing crops, have wheat to sell. II
will be seer that the war, and the
speculative operations Of Mr.. Letter
and others, which are in some quart
ers, credited with the recent great
advance in price. have really little
or nothing to do with that advance.
The case is simply mi Of prospec-
tive greater than the visible supply.
The situation of Great Britain in
this connection affords an interesting
study. Not from any unfriendly
motive, snch as has been sometimes
apprehended by statesmen of that
nation, but from apparent necessity

endevor of successive ministries.
But these temporary periods Of scar

Call a Public Meeting,

On Thursday the school teach
ers sent out invitations to the par
ents of the children to meet them
at the central school house on
Friday. AT the time appointed
about $50 gathered to hear what
subject the teachers had to lay
before them. The subject to be
presented was the supplying of
school books fer the children, out
of the taxes, or in other words
for the trustees to purchase books
for the schools thus making them
free the same as the schools are,
to all children of school age,
The subject was discussed at
some length pro and con; those
who were not in favor showed
that to purchase books out of the
taxes placed burden upon those
who had in some instances ed
ucated theiI childaen and had now
advanced in years, also that il
would bear heavily upon those
persons and institutions that are
The possessers of a large amour,
of means. Those in favor show
there are a number of poor peo-
pie who are not able to purchase
books for their children and this
TACT is very annoying to both chile
and teacher. This is very i'm,
portant subject and therefore
ought to be well investigated, ano
to give all tax payers an opport
unity to be heard on it. A pub
lie meeting should be called BY
the board of trustees. The not
ice should set forth the object Of
the meeting so that all may un'
derstand it.

open to all interested in this sub.
)ect, whether for or against it.
