A Protest Against a Protest

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
In your paper of May I read a pro-
test against a poem which appeared
April 30.
1t might be well for "A Subscriber"
to read the account of the battle of
Manila, as seen by Herald CORE
spondent, which was given in your
paper yesterday. If "A Subscriber"
reads carefully he or she will notice
that the cry which burst from five
hundred Threats was Remember the
Maine" And would those men, at that
supreme moment, beSlikely to cry "Vi-
va Cuba Hbre?" No! Blood is thicker
than water, and it could hardly be sup
posed that American sailors would
forget their own national brothers and
remember a foreign land.
"a Subscriber regrets "the publica-
ton in such a paper as the Journal
and Courier of these verses. Is there
any good and plausible reason why it
should be regretted? And is not the
Subscribers protest as good cause
for regret as the poem which appear ed?

to this country are coffee, indigo, sugar

from the pineapple fiber, hats and cord

Of iron, copper, coal and sulphur. AS
for the timber, there is nothing to equal
its quality and quantity, The Spanish
have never been able to develop the is
lands, and the Chinese had not sutli-
cient means to put their full produc-
tiyeness to the test. There is some
gold to be found in the sands of the
hundreds of rivers, but the Philippines
are not exactly Klondike. Captain
Merritt says that with American meth
DDS, improvements and good Yankee
business sagacity the islands could be
made to yield ten times as much as
they do at present.

keep but they are certainly worth
something to sell or give away.

THE YINk n II.

AT last the Yankee is coming into
his own. The Spaniards call all the
people of this country, irrespective of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude, Yankee pigs" Many Euro
pean papers speak of us all as Yam
KEGS. Papers all over this country are
printing things about the Yankees,
meaning all of us. And there is no
protest anywhere against the wide
spread of the Yankee mantle. 1t has
been well said that originally the Yam
kee was a New Highlander; then he was
a soldier of the Union army. Now he
is every blessed citizen of the United
States.
The Yankee is all right now and ever
more, and Uncle Sam knew what he
was about when he got himself pic
tured as a Yankee And let us not for
get that Commodore Dewey is a sure
enough Yankee.

it required moments to reassure my
self that there was no mistake. But

and commenced the resuscitation that
restored life after more than two hours
work. Mr.. Holbrook, being nearer the
rear of the party, was covered up only
to abut his shoulders, from which posi-
ton he succeeded in getting to the sur
face. Others at different positions were
covered deep, and will not be brought

Mr.. Miller and his party were about
three-fourths of a mile below the
Scales when caught, the trail at the
place being in the bottom of a gully.
A peculiar condition, and one which
may be instructive to others similarly
placed, was that of the number rescued

The London Spectator urges the
United States to keep the Philippine
Islands and undertakes to show how
easily we could do it with negro army
of 10000 men, paying the cost out of the
revenue from the islands. European
powers like Russia, Germany and
France may object to our approaching
so near to China and mixing ourselves
up with the far Eastern question, but
England will welcome us, the Spectator
says, and Europe" it adds, cannot
attack the Americans without our per-
mission"
The Philippines seem to be worth

let him know if there is anything that
they will specially require. Tea, fruits,
and sweets were brought in according
to the custom of the country, and he
and many of his oourtiers and pages

felt his presence all the time, and was
conscious that every one else did the

A Neat and Complete Compliment.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
Although it is not necessary to state
what is already known, yet as it will
not take a great quantity of paper and
ink it may not be amiss to write out
the thought that is in your correspon-
dent and say plainly and truthfully
that the Journal and Courier is always
excelsior, that is, over all and above all.
It's editorial columns. its war and local
news, its excellent typographical feat
lures enrich every number and as
consequence it is always interesting to
it's army of readers. No one misstates
or obtrudes the fact to say that no bet
ter or more satisfactory news paper is
published in the state of Connecticut.

A striking feature in the management
of the new underground railroad in
London will be the systematization of
speed. The entire length of the line is
five and one half miles, the transit SER
vice being carried on by thirty-two
trains of seven cars each, the seating
capacity of each train being 1886 passen-
gers; the average speed of the trains
is to be fourteen miles an hour, in
GLIDING 20-second stops at each station,
the maximum speed between stations
to be thirty miles an hour, the running
at first being on a 21s minute Roadway.
Now, in order to obtain these speeds
with the smallest expenditure of cost,
an interesting experiment has been re-
sorted to in the construction of the
tunnels; that is, instead Of building it
m level or with constant grades from

MILLS AND MONEY.

It is estimated based on the reports of the state mining bureau of Califor- nia and reports from Arizona, that there are, not including mines in So- nora and Lower California, Mexico, over eleven thousand mines in the southwest, of which one-half are be- ing actively worked. The number of hands employed cannot be ascertained with any degree of accuracy, but it is figured that these mines have a capac- ity of about 7,400 stamps. In addi- tion to the stamp mills there are the cyanide plants, reduction and concen- trating plants and hydraulic plants used in placer ,.4ggings where water is obtainable for such purposss.
 The amount of capital invested in mining enterprises in the great south west, not including the amount invest ed in Mexican properties, situated in Sonora and Lower California, is esti- mated at $210,000,000. Large as is the amount official returns of the output from the mines show a yield equiva- lent to a fraction oyer per cent on
 the investment The gross output in. cludes gold, silver, ores and base bull i lion, but does not include-it is vel

THE GUINEA FOWLS.

These birds must be well known to be appreciated. From childhood we have had them On the farm, from 50 to 250 in a flock. They are no trouble whatever; lay their eggs in nests which they make in the grass and wheat fields. We often find nests with from 30 to 75 eggs piled on top of each other. From some of the nests we take part of the eggs and leave some of them to raise their young. They sit, hatch and raise their broods. and we often do not see them until late in the fall, when they bring their chicks home, sometimes as many as twenty in flock. Such chirping! Such flying up trees! The little keets look much like cartridges when about that size They are splendid meat to fry or roast or for pot-pie: and to enjoy the breast of fowl one should eat a guinea fowl. The eggs are considered the richest of all eggs and keep well. We put them up to use in winter; and two years ago, when illness and death in the family made me forget the eggs until June, we found them just as good as when put away. If you try guinea fowls, you are sure to have eggs and fowls for your table, and no trouble to get them.

and the owners of such farms were precluded from keeping ducks. The kind of duck, too, was another matter bat very little thought of. If it was a duck-that was all that was required. It did not matter so much about the color of it. so it's head was green, and it's size was regarded of little conse- quence if it had a good coat of feath- CTS.
 All this has been changed, and now ducks may be kept on almost any farm whether there is pond or not. The breed of ducks must be large and early maturing one, the earlier the better They may not be the incest bird to keep on the front lawn or around the pump house, but if they are kept in the pasture and fields they may be made a very profitable adjunct to the poultry on the farm. The busi- ness of keeping ducks in some 1ocali- ties is very much like that of improved sheep husbandry. They are kept for their flesh rather than for their feath- CTS If they yield a good crop of feath- CTS, they are not to be wasted, but are to be turned to an account. Whether it is desirable or not to keep ducks is very easily determined by getting a few good ones, and giving the business a trial You will soon learn whethe. you have any love for them.

WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP HENS.

1. Because you ought by their means to convert great deal of the waste on the farm into money, the shape of chickens and eggs for the market.
 2. Because with intelligent manage ment they ought to be all year revenue producers, excepting, perhaps, about two months during moulting season. 3. Because the manure from the poultry house will make a valuable compost for use in either vegetable garden or orchard The birds them selves if allowed to run in the orchard will destroy many injurious insects. 5. Because while cereals and fruits can only be successfully grown in cer- tam sections, poultry can be raise1 for table use or to lay eggs, in all parts of the country.
 6. Because poultry raising is an em ployment in which the farmers wife and daughter can engage and leave him free attend to other depart ments
 '. Because it will bring the best re- turns, in the shape of new laid eggs during the winter season-when the farmer has most time on his hands. | s. Because t ostart poultry raising on the farm requires little or no man agement, poultry can be made, with little cost, valuable adjunct to the l farm
