CAUSES FOR PROSPERITY.

Senator German, of Delaware, is known as great statesman, and he has recently been giving out some interviews in one of which speaking of the causes leading up to our present condition of pros pcrity he IS reported as saying:
 ''The war with Spain, which created a demand for labor in every branch of trade, set the mills running on full sup plies, and gave employment to millions of laborers who had been in idleness for three years; the remarkable rise in the price of wheat and other farm pro ducts; the millions of dollars spent by the government in preparation for war; the purchase of every conceivable line of supplies, guns, ammunition, cannons. food. clothing, transports. war vessels-all these things combined to create a condition of prosperity"
 Some day it is to be hoped the fact will dawn upon the minds of our statesmen that if to spend money in preparation and the prosecution of war will bring prosperity, ii might be possible

The acme of realism was reached though by accident in a criminal trial q few years ago at Lebanon, Ohio. Two men had a personal encounter. One of them, after valnly trying to draw his pistol from his hip pocket, turned to flee. A moment later he fell, shot in the small of the back. One chamber of his pistol was found to have been fired. His assailant was tried for murder. The defence contended that the man had shot himself while trying to draw his pistol, which had become entang led in the lining of the pocket, and that the prisoners shots had not taken effect. The prosecution contcnded that such a wound could not have been self-infiicted. The defendants counsel, Clement 5. Valandigham undertook to de- monstrate to the jury just how possible 1t was to infict such a wound. Suddenly there was q loud report, and the lawyer sank to the floor. The ball had entered the back almost in the identical spot where the dead man had been shot. The defendant was acquit- ted. Mr. Valandigham died. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Good Clover and Timothy.

J. T. Spring IS preparing to make some Improvements on his lot at the corner of Herman St. and Port Arthur avenue. He cut some fine large clover and timothy this morning and brought samples to this office. The timothy averaged fully three feet in height and has headed out nicely, while bunch of clover, grown from one seed, had over eighty stalks, over three feet in length, all nicely headed, and though nicely cured, weighed two and a half pounds. These samples indi- cate that if the people would have good timothy and clover here, all they have to do is to plant the seed on we'll prepared soil and let it grow.

A GOOD FODDER.

Sorghum for fodder should be cut while small, as mature stalks are not only hard and indigestiblc but in a very short time after maturity formic acid develops which renders the cane unpalatablc to stock Acetic acid is also formed from the decomposition of the sugar sucrasc, or glucosel, and vinegar can be produced by maceration of the stalks and ex pression. In this condition sor- ghum is not suitable food for milch cows. Cut at the proper stage, sorghum is easily cured, requiring more dry weather and more venti- lation than lighter grasses.

THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

It occurs to us that it IS getting about time for those who proclaim that the tariff is the mother of trusts, and that to abolish them every article should be placed on the free list, to arise and tell the public what effect such a policy would have on those trusts con trolling articles that are in no way influenced by the tariff. To remove the tariff on some articles would break up q few trusts, but would have no effect on those possessing the greatest power to plunder the people, like the Standard Oil trust for instance.
