There was a question of Importance be-
fore the local lodge of a leading fraternal

rounds of applause. A vote when they
were through would have assured sweep

But little man rose up in the back part
of the hall. He had done more than any
other man living TO strengthen the order
and promote its best objects. He had

The Cry of the Little Peoples.


Richard LeGalienne in London Chronicle
The Cry of the Little Peoples went up to
God in vain:
The Czech, and the Pole, and the Firm, and
the Schleswig Dane.
We ask but little portion of the green
and ancient earth:
Only to sow and sing and reap in the land
of our birth.
We ask not coaling stations, nor ports in
the China seas,
We leave to the big child-nations such
Tivafries as these.
We have learned the lesson of time, and
we know three things of worth:
Only to sow and sing and reap in the land
of our birth.
o leave us our little margins waste ends
of land and sea.
A little grass and a hill or two, and a
shadowing tree;
o leave us our little rivers that sweetly
catch the sky,
To drive our mills, and to carry our wood
and to ripple by.
One Tong ago, like you, with hollow pur-
suit of fame,
We filled all the shaking world with the
sound of our name;
But now we are glad to rest, our battles
and bOasting done,
Glad just 70 SOW and sing and reap in our
share of the sun.
And what shall you gain if you take us
and bind us and beat us with thongs.
And drive us to sing underground in a
whisper our sad little songs?
Forbid us the very use of our hearts own
nursery tongue
Is this to be strong you nations, is this to
be strong?
Your vulgar battles to fight. and your
shopman conquests to keep
For this shall we break our hearts, for
this shall our old men weep?
What gain in the day of battle-to the
Russ. TO the German, what gain,
The Czech, and the Pole, and the Finn
and the Schleswig Dane?
".
The Cry of the Little Peoples goes up to
God in vain,
For the world is given over to the cruel
sons of Cain;
The hand that would bless us is weak, and
the hand that would break us is
strong,
And the power Of pity is naught but the
power of song.
The dreams that our fathers dreamed to-
day are laughter and dust,
And nothing a all in the world is left for
q man to trust.
Let us hope no more, or dream, or proph-
esy, or pray,
For the iron world no less viii crash on
its iron way;
And nothing is left but to watch, with a
helpless, plying eye.
The kind old aims for the world, and the
kind old fashions die.

eight proposed consultations, many of
which have lately been abandoned or are
likely to fall through, and says: THE

will have TO be abandoned. The bad sue

to induce manufacturers 20 give up con-
troll of their plants and only in rare cases
are they willing to accept shares The ex-
pcrience of the month of June indicates
that the trust movement is about to be
launched on toboggan"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem) says

Our naval monitors are VIGOROUSLY UNI
comfortable vessels They have only about
two feet Of freeboard, hence when they
go 70 sea their decks are constantly swept
by water and all matches must be bat

ventilators must be closed to keep the
water out The only opening TO the out
side cir is through the turrets AS
consequence they are veritab!e roasting
boxes. Last summer the men on the
moaitors doing blockade duty off Cuba
suffered horribly from heat and during
the present summer the crews of the
monitors at Manila are going through tho
same sort of thing. There isn't much
chance for improving the vessels by means

In recent bulletin of the Department of
Agriculture. Prof Hacker states that the
farmers of the cotton belt are undergoing
an experience which comes sooner or later
to every section of our country. Wheat
was grown almost exclusively in the
North until the soil refused to respond. No
one seemed to know why, but when the
wheat failed the farmers began to depend
upon live stock. AS the live stock in
creased, the land brought better crops, C. nd
il gradually dawned upon them that the
failure OF crops was due TO lack of fertn-
ity, and that by diversified farming they
could restore il and secure as good if not
better returns than they had received from
the virgin soil. In the same way the soil
of the cotton belt has been impoverished
by constant cropping and inadequate fer
Ulizing 1t is not in the cotton nor in the
oil extracted from the seeds that the fer
tility is lost. but it is in the parting with
the cotton seed cake or meal that the loss
occurs. If the cake and meal be fed to
dairy cows all the fertility viii remain on
the plantation. The professors advice to
cotton growers is, therefore: Go into
dairying with the dairy cow"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system etfectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
maneutly. Its perfect freedom from
e\ cry Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

AT THE REBEL CAPITAL,
General MacArthur's Troops Enjoying a
Good Rest.

General Mac cArthur's Troops Enjoying
Good Rest.
A Sundays dispatch from Manila
says: The troops under Gen. Mac
Arthur are still resting at Malolos,
where everything has been quiet to-
day. Hostilities elsewhere--so far as
officially reported-have been limited
during the last twenty-four hours to
an occasional exchange of shots be-
tween the insurgents and the troops
forming the lines of Gen. Lawton and
Gen. Hale, extending from the water
works to La Lenia. But this shooting
has been just active enough to make
the lives of the soldiers burden and
to compel the officers to sleep in
trenches, clothed in readiness to repel
possible attacks.
Most of the Americans are becoming
convinced that the backbone of the
insurgent opposition is broken. There
are numerous rumors pointing to an
early collapse of the insurrection.
One of these is that Gen. Pho Del
Pitar, the best fighter among the
Filipino officers, will desert Aguinaldo
and give his support to the Ameri-
cans.
The Spaniards, reasoning from their
experience with the natives, refuse to
believe that the rebellion is anywhere
near put down. They declare that the
Filipinos will not take their defeat at
Malolos, with the loss of the city and
the removal of their so-called govern
ment, seriously at heart. On the con-
trary, the Spaniards predict that the
insurgents will hover near the Ameri-
can lines, bother them as much as
possible, and when attacked in force
dissolve only to reappear at other
points.
The Americans are trying to gain
the confidence of the inhabitants by
proving to them that if they will re-
turn and attend to their ordinary work
peacefully no harm will come to them.

CORRUPTION In THE COURTS.
Buying and Selling OF Justice In Cuba
VIII Be Stopped

Buying and Selling OF Justice in Cuba
VIII Be Stopped.
HAvANA.-Today, as under the
Spanish regime, bribery and fraud di-
rect the Cuban courts. This is the
firm conviction of the military admin
istration.
Gov. Gen. Brooke is taking the mat
ter up and intends to clean out the
corruption, to revise the Judicial pro-
ceedure, to change the court personnel
and to abolish the barbarious practice
of incommunicado, by which Judge
may imprison for life person ignor-
ant of the accusation against him and
of the names of his accusers. 1t is
true that the statutes allow only three
days detention incommunicado, but
judge, under the practice that had
grown up, may make new commit
ment at the expiration of the third
day, another at the expiration OF the
sixth and so on without limit.
More than this, the evidence in Grim
inal causes is taken by clerks, who for
a consideration write into the testimo-
ny things never uttered, thus often
making the best friends of the accused
appear to condemn him. Apparently
the whole criminal and civil systems
have been arranged so as to make it
easy to buy and sell Justice.
