TRATTOROUs CONDUCT.

It may be patriotic; it may be en-
terprising; it may be all things good
and true but to us it looks like a
mean, petty, Paul Pry piece of bust
ness; a putting of the greasy nickel
before love of country, to spy out what
the Government is doing in planning
mines in the entrance to New York Har-
Dor, and publishing the news" to the
world.
Such a thing as that would not he
tolerated in any other country in the
world Not even the Chinese would
stand it for an instant. But the yell
low journals of New York have no
stomach for decency, propriety or the
fitness of things. A strong guard ex-
cluded their nosing reporters from
Sandy Hook district, where harbor pro-
lection work is going on. The men and
soldiers were put under military in
struction to say nothing of what was
being done Women and children were
ordered from the point, and the Dre-
cautions to preserve secrecy We're all
taken that could be thought of save
one.
The officials did not calculate against
yellow Journalism and spy-glasses.
What did these papers do but procure
telescopes, locate their men at com
manding distant points and proceed to
note every movement of the workmen
in the channel at the Hook. and then
print in utmost detail what they saw,
! describing with the nicely of a war
map just where and how the mines
We're planted, their apparent size. how
they are connected with the shore. etc.
Foreign Powers want nothing better
than that. 1t saves them a deal of
| trouble and no end of cost. What high,
minded, patriotic, country y-loving and
devoted labor it must have been to lay
into the hands that may be raised
against the Government which protects
this intolerable saffron nuisance. and to
which it win be the very first to a.p-
peal for damages if a stray shot from
an enemy's gun should plunge into one
of these journalistic junk shops.

The Old Lady Was Failing.

The maiden aunt of a San Francisco
official has gradually cultivated fond
ness for sensationalism until a love of
reading horrible descriptions in the
newspapers and morbid imaginings in
books has gained complete ascenden-
cy over her. An old friend of the fami-
ly inquired a few days ago of the
nephew concerning the health of his
aunt I'VE are rather anxious about
her" was the perfectly serious reply.
she is not exactly ailing. but her spir-
its seem depressed. She does not seem
to be enjoying her murders and lynch
ings as much as usual - Cleveland

Good for Secretary Wilson. Since
Germany and some other countries
have become so sensitive about Amer
lean goods imported into those States
being pure, and have issued orders of
exclusion, most Of which were and are
unjust, the Secretary has set on foot
a system of chemical analysis of goods
from foreign countries coming into this.
To date he has discovered that Ger
many is a loud and large offender. and
that on the ground of adulteration and
1mpurity many Of her exports to the
United States may be excluded. Thus
in the single item Of sausages he finds
that a large percentage of the food is
adulterated and grossly impure. Keep
at it, Mr.. Secretary. out of all such
contention the consumer gets the ben
eft.

Had Congress made provision during
the last ten years for strong American
navy the ships would have been built at
home by American labor. using Amer
lean material, and the money would hav
ican material, and the money would
have been expended here. Now, in case
of war, we shall have to send ten or
twenty millions out of the country for
foreign-made ships.
So speaks an interior contemporary
and it voices the sentiment of the right
thinking men of the nation, who love
their country better than they do
money. and who take no stock in the
pessimistic growl that the destiny of
the republic is completed, and that we
are on the eve of Saturday night

Not so. 1t will not win. These same
creditors are as shrewd as are the Span
ish officials. They are not likely to send
good money after bad. If they have in
telligence enough to come in out of the
wet, they know now that the surest way
to lose their money, at least the way 10

Kept Ensilage Over.

This ensilago was, to lie exact, about
30 months III the silo, and still was
eaten with great relish and evident full
feeding value. Our plan Of keeping the
ensilage is TO cover to the depth of IA few
inches only with old, wes and rotten
straw, tread it down as firmly rs posi-
bic and sow bushel of oats in it. Let
them grow and live as long as they will
and fill the straw with roots, and the
dead tops later on. This will make a
sort of Shiny mass, and the sealing
seems TO be all that can be desired.
Last year we just raked oats into the
top layer of the ensilage, wet the sur
face little and let the oats grow what
they would. This did about as we'll, ex
cept that family of rats came from
somewhere and burrowed into the ensi.
la2e from the top, and it caused quite s
lot Of ensilage to spoil. Gen.
