Glade has some of the curious things
that we read Of Your correspondent
a few days ago saw lamb on the farm
of Mr.. E. P. Phillips that had five legs
and six feet. -Four legs are natural, the
fifth about six inches back from the
fore legs on the right, swings clear OF
the ground and has two sets OF hoofs.-
PhllIppi Republican.
The story Of wonderful freak Of na-
tuA in the pumpkin line comes from
Washington Bottom. A few days ago
Mrs. A. 7. McMurray took a notion TO
manufacture few pumpkin pies for
the benefit OF the pie lovers IN her fam
lis, and. taking large yellow boy from
among the golden heap in the barn, cut
II In twain and lifted the top on. only
to find, that though the pumpkin had
been perfectly sound. every seed had
taken root In the bottom of the shell
and sprouted, sending forth little shoots
three or four Inches In length, each one
having a few fresh green leaves at
tached.-Webster Echo.
G. w, Cook, Of HeadsviIle, stated that
James Carskadon, Of the same place.
told him he kept account OF all the stuff
sold from his farm In the last SIX years.
and the last two years sales exceeded
the four years previous by $3.50. What
farmer win dispute the fact and say the
times are not discretionary Times.
The Democratic newspaper that lashes
itself into Mysteries over Judge John
the Judges personal popularity, only
causes the Republican editors OF this
district who know anything about me
campaign to wink the other eye.-Mc-
Dowell Recorder.
Republican legislative candidates
asked for recounts in tour counties and
districts where the vote was very close
and Democratic candidates have done
the same in like number Of districts.
The Republican recOunts were made in
nearly every instance by Republican
canvassing boards and the Democratic
recounts were made by Democratic
boards. Results: No Democrat has
been counted out, but three Republicans

Mirepr.s;nting Hawaii.

A Democratic organ published not
many miles away from the corner Of
Alley 9 and Market street. Wheeling, re-
,iterates a long since exploded argument
when 1t publishes the following:
Many persons oppose giving Hawaii
the proposed territorial form Of govern
ment lest the islands eventually acquire
statehood. These however. are likely
to he voted down easily and then we will
have hanging over our future the fear
that one day a partisan administration
may admit the Islands as state IN
which event the vote OF these distant
half savage possessions out In the mid
die Of the Pacific may be In position 70
influence the result of presidential
election, Such rotten borough would
be menace to popular government. Yet
the people OF Hawaii are enlgntenea
and refined compared to those OF the
Philippines.
A previous comment Of this organ on
the same subject assumed that, as a ter
ritory, the Hawaiian islands would have
a representative in Congress whose vote
might hold the ''6alance OF power, and
that Its presidential electors might de-
eide presidential election" The Intel
lieencer took pleasure in reminding its
friend thai territories had no such voice
In the government affaIrs. Now the
statement Is qualified with an admission
that Hawaii can only have such an In
fuence when 1t IS admitted as = state.
Another qualification may be NECESSARY
when the aforesaid friend reads the pro-
visions for a government OF Hawaii
framed By the commission appointed for
that purpose.
Hawaii can never be a state Of this
Union until the provisions of the con-
stitution and the laws are complied
with. for It will not otherwise be eligible.
The conditions complained OF by our
nelghbOr. though It exaggerates them,
will not then exist.
There are and have been other terri
tories in this Union which have mad TO
undergo just what Hawaii must expert
ence before they could become states.
| All were peopled principally with In
dlans, either in a savage or semi-savage
gate. Now all but two OF them are
great and prosperous and enlightened
states, having passed through the stages
required.
The plan proposed for the territorial
government Of Hawaii is even more
stringent in It's provisions than that pur-
sued in the cases OF other territories
within the limits of the United States
proper, although Hawaii has a greater
percentage of enlightened people at Its
birth than they mad. To vote for the
members OF the territorial house of dele
gates citizens are required to have GER
tain educational qualifications and to
have paid their taxes. and for mem
bers OF the territorial senate even more
strict lave are provided looking 20 the
intelligence and general qualifications OF
voters The executive officers, from the
governor down. are appointed By the
President just as they are in all our ter
ritories.
Considering all these conditions. our
nelghbOr is unnecessarily alarmed over
the prospects OF poor little Hawaii prov
ing a burden to this great and grand and
glorious republic which has taken her
under It's wing. It is a poor cause that
sets up bugaboos SO easily knocked out

RHBBIT TRACKS.

On hill and curve of wooded ground
 The snows have fallen down: The brooks, in icy armor bound,
 Their blaming murmurs drown, And thickly the creeks white bed The rabbit tracks are spread. A blue-jay through the tree tops flies,
 Blue-etched against the dun; Above, in gray and slaty skies,
 The crows pass one by one; While where the last month leaves lie dead Dim rabbit tracks are spread. Across the sheeted meadows bare
 The wild wind swings apace, Sings eldritCh-like through frosty air,
 Dies out and leaves trace: And where it's viewless wake has sped Faint rabbit tracks are spread. The trees in silent wonder stand
 The hickory and oak; And morning mists about them band
 In garb of purple smoke, And thick where woodland paths have led The rabbit tracks are spread. And all about the f1eecy snows,
 The orchards and the lanes, The prickly way of bleak hedge-rows,
 The bridges and the drains Where CT the wraith of night has fled The rabbit tracks are spread. ERNEST MCCARTHY in Womans Home Communion

OUR FRUIT INDUSTRY MISREPRE,
 SENTED.

To the Editor of The Call: A bulletin on fruit culture, of recent issue from the Division of Pomology. United States De- partment of Agriculture, which has been given wide publicity, contains numerous unpardonable mistakes pertaining to the horticultural industry of our State. These blunders were recently pointed out to the Secretary of Agriculture by Sen ator Stephen M. White.
 To illustrate the absolute imbecility of the document, it states. for instance that no oranges are raised in the State: makes no mention of the production of grapes south of latitude 39, that territory embracing the Fresno region and other large grape-growing sections. Figs are not mentioned as a California product nor are Japanese persimmons. No men, tion is made of raisins, nor is the State credited with the ability to produce walnuts, and very little notice is made of many varieties of apples and peaches. While the bulletin contains no mega tions that California does not raise fruit accredited to other States, it having been given official indorsement and sent broadcast over the world, purporting to state the special localities devoted to the raising of the particular fruits enumer- ated, no other interpretation can be placed on the document than that Cali fornia is not adapted to the production of the fruits named
 In order to correct the false impress sions that may arise from the inac- curacy of the aforesaid bulletin, the fol- lowing statistics of the acreage in fruit and fruit shipments of recent collation. are appended:

THE WORK THIS TIME

NNCE more the Supervisors have undertaken
 the task of providing some for pro-
 tectng the people against the ever present danger of being by the street The subject has been under consideration intermit- tently for a long time. Every and then an accident of more than ordinary horror occurs to arouse popular indignation, and straightway the Supervisors set about talking of doing something. By and by the indignation passes, then the talk passes and the something that to be done mains undone
 This time the Supervisors should take action. There should be no talk the matter except that which tends to activity. There should be limit to the discussion, period fixed when a decision will be made, an ordinance adopted and enforced and the limbs and lives of citizens made reason ably safe from the dangers that them
 The people not asking for impossibility It is within the powers of the street companies to use their property and carry their business in such a way that 1t will not be to the community. It is also within the powers of the Supervisors and the police to compel them to do so ii they refuse to act willingly. The reform IS possible as well as imperative, and therefore should be carried out
 It will cost the Supervisors some mental effort to devise and enact proper ordinance the sub ject It will cost the police some exercise of energy to enforce the ordinance after 1t enacted It may cost the people something to defend and maintain the ordinance in the courts. It will cost the railway companies something to equip their cars with proper lenders and proper brakes. Ii may cost them something to be compelled to en- ploy more men and not overwork their employees on the until they too tired to attend to their duties
 These costs in the aggregate may be consider able, but however large they will be cheap in com parison with the cost of continuing the present system. To run the street cars at present costs anxiety, bruises, wounds broken limbs, mangled bodies and infrequenty costs life itself. Many persons have been killed by the cars in this city under circumstances which virtually to unjustiiabe homicide. We have been permitting the companies for already too long time to run their and carry their business at such a cost.
 Popular indignation has been so frequently aroused by shocking accident due to careless on the part of the companies that it no longer passes away when the shock of the death passes It has become chronic. It is ihsistent, urgent, clamorous for redress and justice. This time the Supervisors must take action. Public safety re- quires it. Popular sentiment demands it.

HEED THE PLEA OF THE WEAK.

HE statement of Chna's case by Ii Hung
 Chang has attracted worldwide attention. It
 IS appeal to the nations against the de- struction of Chinese sovereignty and autonomy and it raises against European aggression an ar gunent that cannot be passed in silence. This Confucan diplomat and statesman has pricked the conscience of the Christian world, and if his coun- try is to be the victim of division among the powers his statement will stand, crying through all coming history an accusing voice to impeach Christian civilization.
 But after all, this remarkable plea for his trys life IS not stronger by a single word nor single principle than the appeal made to the United States by the Hawaiians against the forci- ble destruction of their autonomy and the seizure of their sovereignty. Behind the voice of Li Hung Chang 4oo.oooooo people Behind the Ha- waiian protest only 10000 but each rests upon the same principle, which is deserving of respect whether those in whose behalf it is pleaded number hundreds or hundreds of millions.
 There be those in this country who wonder why Germany turns a deaf to China. But why should wonder if we hear not the cry and spurp the prayer of the Hawaiians?
 Indeed it is repeated with tiresome reiteration tlat lawless aggression against China strengthens the of equally lawless aggression byths coun try against Hawaii. The excuse is, in part the old one, that possession of HaWan IS necessary to our Chinese trade. If owning an island in the tropics Is necessary to that, why do propose to treat the occupation of Chinese ports by Russia, Ger many and France inimical to trade?
 The farce of 1t is exposed to the laughter of the world by Senator Morgan's declaration that Europe is putting commercial cordon against us reaching from Manchuria to Manchester. If this elongated and grandiloquent statement true how the cordon with Hawaii?
 An Eastern Senator discussing annexation re- gently said that he would have to vote for 1t be- cause all our ships passing to and from Asia have to stop there. Senator Perkins inform him that they don't have to do any such thing The short route to Asia lies 1000 miles north of Hawaii, and be traversed from continent to continent with out recOaling
 Our Pacific liners do not all regularly touch at Honolulu because it is out of the path of com merce For all these reasons we have not even the excuse that Europe has for aggression upon China. The commercial argument may be used in that case but not in ours We propose to rob weak peo- pie for other than the we give to the world. The real is that the planters have had the money and have put it where it will do the most good Their stake IS a protected profit of $Io a ton on raw sugar. No great nation was ever be- fore stood up and dshonored by such small force
