IT IS a curious fact that while farm
products have been advancing, prices
of articles which farmers must buy
have in most cases decreased. Latest
reports from New York markets show
a marked reduction in prices of cot
ton goods, shoes, articles of iron and
steel, coffee and many other articles
of daily consumption, while in practi-
cally everything which the farmer
produces there has been a marked in
crease.

SECRETARY WILSON, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, announces that
hereafter the German Embassy will
include an agricultural attache who
will be under the special direction OF
the Department of Agriculture,
rather than the State Department,
and whose duty it will be to acquaint
the Secretary of Agriculture with
whatever of interest or Importance be
can find relating to the agricultural
trade or development Of the two cOun-
tries This action is the outcome OF
Secretary Wilson's recommendations
and vigorous efforts to have his De
partment represented in the diplo-
matte service of each foreign country
by man specially trained and able
to investigate and report in the lines
required by the Department. 1t is,
upon its face, an important consider
alton which has stimulated the Secre-
tary to the support of this policy.
The agricultural industries of our
country are its most important ones.
Next to our home agricultural mar
ket, our foreign agricultural trade is
most important. 1t is therefore OF
vital moment that this Government
should have in each country taking
our farm products, or likely to take
them. a practical agriculturist who
can report to our home office the var
ious needs of the country in which he
is stationed, the likes and dislikes OF
the people and where the best oppor
tunities offer for the introduction OF
the products of our farms, our diaries
and our orchards, as well as our man
ufactured products Of agriculture.

Tuesday of this week home talent
held the boards in the opera house in
Oakland when a large number of the
young people of town gave a minstrel
show for the benefit of the band
which was recently recognized.
When the curtain was run up the

'mokes' in half circle on the stage
who for a half hour or more kept it in
roars of laughter at their jokes and
antics. Those who took part in the

greeted with vocificerous applause.
The double statue clog dancing by
Messrs. Martin and West was one of
the catching parts Of the show.

lad in excellent style. Messrs. Bar.
ker and Boyer played to perfection a
cornet duet; DR.. Dollies (Gus Bolden'
delivered a monologue. The ballad
entitled The Wreck of the Maine, ,
sung by DR.. Robinson, was one OF
the hits of the evening. DR.. Robin
sons voice is strong and beautiful
and the song stirred the blood of every
patriotic citizen present, which was
only excelled when the quartette
above mentioned appeared, dressed
as SO many Uncle Sans, and sans

THREE carloads of rare and valu
able seeds and plants are now lying
in the seed rooms of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, wait
ing to be distributed to the Govern
ment experiment stations and to
other experimenters among the far
mers, for tests during the coming sea-
son. These seeds are the outcome of
Secretary Wilson's declaration to ran
sack the globe for seeds and plants
which may prove of value to the
American farm. Under his direction.
a special agent has been travelling for
eight months throughout the coun
tries of western and southern Asia,
the oldest section of the earth, inves-
tigating different varities and buying
such as are known or supposed to be
of economic value to this country
Mr.. Wilson believes he has secured
some species of forage plants especi-
ally adapted to withstand droughts,
which will be of immense value to
some of our western sections. A
large quantity of alfalfa has been pro-
cured from Eastern Turkestan which
will stand terrific droughts, and when
it is remembered that our own alfalfa,
now so indispensable to our western
farmers, came originally from Arabia,
it will be seen that we yet may have
much to learn from that section of
the world where the human race
originated Prof. Neils Hansen, the
agent selected by Mr.. Wilson for the
trip, has secured a most valuable fund
of scientific information. which will
be embodied in bulletin to be issued
later by the Department. Mr.. Han
sen states that many of the seeds pro-
cured were carried long distances by
camel-back across the arid wastes of
the East before. they came in contact
with modern means of transportation.

You men who at every corner talk
of war; who feel utterly capable of
the successful conduct of a campaign;
but yet have not even the remotest
intention of moving away from your
cosy fire-sides, examine yourselves,
and purge yourselves from confusion
of thought. 1t is well to think twice
before speaking once in favor of
slaughter. The second thought viii
show that where there is no intention,
no ability, no fitness for combat it Is
essentially selfish to urge it when

to the home-stayers only the results.
Many of you will rejoice if war is
declared. You will read with avidity
news about your fellows going to
their death, and then in the fluctuat-
ing values of the stock market, you
will gee chances to make money out
of misery, and straightway go andlSi0
it. You will pile up wealth while
somebody's son gives up life to
leave you undisturbed in scraping
profits out of cowardly quiet. But if
you who foment the war feeling by
quiet chatting, are worthy of blame.

purveyors of news-rather, perverters
of news-who deliberately confuse

EARTHQUAKE IN SAN DOMINGO.
Great Damage DOne-PeOpIe Driven
from Their Homes.

NEW YORK, January 19.-The Clyde
Line steamer Cherokee which arrived to-
day from San Domingo ports, brings de-
tails Of the recent earthquakes which
have occurred with frequency since De-
cCmber 18th last Great damage has been
caused throughout the whole country
and the inhabitants have been driven
from their homes in panic.
AT 6.45 i'm the morning of December 18th
the people in the northern part Of the
island Were startled by a very severe
trembling Of the earth lasting fully
twenty-five seconds. At Porto Plata and
in the surrounding neighbOrhOOd, in
Guiding the inland town Of Santiago, this
nrst shock was most severely felt. WO-
men and children rushed from their
houses into the streets, crying out to be
saved, some kneeling I'm the open streets,
and invoking the aid Of their saints
The first shock was soon followed by
another, and still another in rapid sue
ces5ion. Then all was quiet until =.
NJ, when another slight movement was
felt which caused another stampede of
the inhabitants.
Many people say that the water from
disused wells was seen to surge up level
with the ground, and almost as rapidly
disappear again.
1t is calculated that damage to the
amount Of $1,000 was done in the port Of
Plata alone. There was hardly a pane
or glass lett in the town, and the larger
buildings suffered much from the crack.

In Santiago a number Of churches were
rendered dangerous for use. and will of
necessity have TO be rebuilt. The Gene
terry walls were ruined. and the chapel
fell as though il had been struck bv a
bOmbshell. The government buildings
were damaged to a great extent. The
grand edifice of Santa Cerro. one Of the
Oldest in the western hemisphere, dating
from the time Of Columbus, was entirely
destroyed.
All over the island the shocks were
felt, but the seVerest damage was caused
In the two towns named.
Almost every day since December goth
there have been shocks. but they have
been of comparatively harmless nature
AS far as is known. there has been no
loss Of human life. The shocks were per-
eepubly felt on board vessels in the har-
bors Of the island.
