The Ground is Alive.

We are so used to thinking of the soil as mere mineral matter that it comes quite as shock to find this is a mis- take.
 As matter of fact, the layer of soft mold which clothes the ground in all cultivated districts and from which vegetation springs is acually in great part a living layer of tiny plants and animals.
 Interlacing threads of molds and fungi, worms and grubs. creeping in sects, tiny root parasites. decaying leaves and the millions of bacteria which spring from them-all these are mixed ana M.usleD sOge,aes for many inches down below our feet in a con fused mass Of life. Germs of ali sorts swarm in countless millions.
 Indeed all the plants that grow and life that exists on the face of the earth owe their being to the fact that the ground is alive. You take a shovelful of the finest soil in the world and sterilize it-that is, beat it till all the life in it is destroyed-and then plant seeds in it. No amount of care or wat erlng will make those seads grow. Their life depends on the life in the soil around them,

the senate, providing for the enlistment
 ot two additional regiments of artillery
 be taken up and disposed of, immedi- ately after the passage of the sundry civil bill, says he did so because he thought there was no necessity to in- crease the regular army, and that he re- garded the bill as an attempt on the part of the plutocrats to take advantage of existing conditions to increase the army add thus still further entrench them selves against the people. As to the special need of these men now to fight Spain, Mir. Sulzer said "Why, if war should be declared, I would resign my seat in congress in twenty-four hours and would raise regiment in my dis trict. Twould get thousand young, able bodied fellows who would fight, and We would go to the front under some federal brigade commander; and there would .1 no lack C' such regnerrs..

park-ashannon OF the sixth,

The cannon feature of Shannon of the
Sixth" Edward e. Kidder's play, now
playing at the Park Theater, is only one
of many very strong points In that drama.
1t is not only well-conceived scene, but
its effect OH the audience is sufficiently
thrilling for sensational purposes. Captured
by the sepoys, Dora Kimber. the girl with
whom Shannon is in love and whom he is
trying to protect in the jungle, is tied by
the murderous natives to the muzzle Of a
big cannon. They light the fuse, and just
in the nick of time Shannon appears on the
side of the mountain followed by the Brit
ish troops. Plunging down the steep descent
drags her to the ground just as the cannon
is discharged. Both actors who figure in
the sensational scene were called before the
curtain yesterday after the act. The play
Shannon of the Sixth tells good strong
story, and the action throughout is rapid

OF the four acts are fine, that of the third,

the accessories for the performance. The
costumes add variety. The English officers
in their brilliant uniforms form quite a
contrast to the HindOo priests in their GU
ricus robes and the savage sepoys with
their SWathy faces and rough attire. The
superstition of these followers of Brahma
Is shown to excellent effect. There is much

VIEWS OF SENATOR ELKINs.
He Thinks Spain VIII Yield and War
BE ThuA ANerfed.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Senator Elkins
said this afternoon that he still thinks peace
will be the outcome of the present agitation
over Cuba He bases his opinion on the
theory that the negotiations will be re-
opened and that Spain will yet see her way
clear to accepting the propositions of the
United States. Suppose negotiations have
been suspended he said, they can be re-
opened. should not be surprised If they
had already been reopened, nor to hear any
hour that Spain had yielded" He added his
expression of the belief that such pressure
would be brought to bear upon Premier Sa-
gasta that he could not do otherwise than
yield to the extent of permitting Cuba to
become free. 1T will become a question
with him" said the senator, "Of losing Gu
ba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Ministry
and the present dynasty itself, all of which
are inevitable if he goes to war, and of los
ing Cuba, which will be the only result of
acquiescing in our demands. OF course,
these matters are being brought to his at
tention, and of course, as a sensible man,
interested in the welfare of his country, he
will accept our terms and save all he can
out of the situation"
Mr.. Elkins further expressed the opinion
that not only France and other European
powers were exercising their influence with
effect, but that also the financial and re-
hgiouS powers were being brought to bear
in a way that must bear fruit for peace.
ut is a common sense proposition he said
in conclusion, land in the end common sense
must win. AS for the United States, they
cannot afford to spend a thousand million
dollars and destroy many thousands of lives
to secure the independence of the Cubans,
and if they go to war at all it should be for
some other reason than merely to secure
the independence of Cuba. There are other
grounds upon which to make our case
stronger than the independence of Cuba"
The Senator said that If we go to war to Sc
cure the independence of Cuba we would
!cse Cuba as part Of any war indemnity.
but If we go to war for other reasons we
would have not only Cuba but Porto Rico
as well to pay in part for our war expenses.
In other words, Mr.. Elkins did not believe
We should give away Cuba by recognizing
her independence, for otherwise we could
claim the island as part Of our indemnity.

PLAIN CASE OF T'REAcHERY.
Senator j. l.. Mitchelr Says the Maine
Episode VIII Not Down.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Senator Mitch
ell, Of Wisconsin, who is one of the most
conservative men in the Senate and has
never advocated Intervention in any way
until since the receipt of the report of the
Maine disaster, received letter this morn
ing from Paul D. Carpenter, of Milwaukee,
Wis, son Of the late Senator Matt Car
penter. in which an argument for peace is
made and in which the report OF the Span
ish court of inquiry is cited as grounds for
not accepting as conclusive the finding of
our own court that the Maine was de-
stroyed by an external explosion. To this
letter Senator Mitchell replied this morn
ing as follows:
MY Dear Sir-Tour favor of the I'd
inst. to hand. have never favored armed
interference in Cuban affairs. I did not feel
that We were bound to redress the wrongs
of Cuba bY resorting to war. But the Maine
episode Will not down. Overrefinement of
argument Is useless 1t stands before the
American people a plain case of treachery.
Perfdy and cruelty run in the Spanish
blood. There is little else in its history. Any
nation that would permit such an outrage
to go unpublished would not deserve to eX-
list. There are some things worse than war.
There are some things better than money"
