In the spring the birds are singing
AS they build their summer home,
Blades of grass and buds are springing
Ger the meadow the cattle roam.
In the spring your blood is freighted
With the germs that cause disease
Humors, boils, are designated
Signals warning you of these.
In the spring that tired feeling
Makes you every duty shirk,-
Makes you feel like begging, stealing
Rather than engage in work.
But there's something known thatwill 9
Man to health and vigor lead.
You will find Hoods Sarsaparilla
Just exactly what you need.

Socialism is Growing.

One of the leading thinkers and writer:
of today is DR.. Lyman Abbott of Brook
lyn, who for several years succeeding
Beecher's death, filled his pulpit. In
recent address he gave utterance to the
thought so rapidly growing in the minds
Of all thoughtful people. He said;
81 assume that the common people
ought to control in industry as in politics.
That we don't do that now is apparent.
We elect governors, but not railroad kings,
we elect municipal assemblies, but not
those who control factories and mines.
| have nothing to say against those who
do control, bnt am merely pointing out
the fact that we can turn out our presl-
dents and governors, but if we think a rail
road owner is not working for the public
good we can not turn him out peaceably.
Our political system is an oligarchy.
We ought to carry the same principles
into industry as into politics.
"This, then, is the radical object which
we reformers ought to keep in mind
Social Democracy. That means that the
railroads should be controlled and owned
by the common people, that the factories
and mines should be theirs, that they
should own the tools with which they
work. 1t means the employment Of CAPT
tai by labor, instead of labor by capital.
1t is radical idea, bnt we need radical
ideas. 1t is not hopeless idea, either. 4"

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
Taylor VIII Remain Governor Until
Court Takes Action.

| Frankfort, March 1.-THE iegisa
ture of Kentucky adjourned sine die
yesterday conference between Ad-
jutant Generals Collier and Castleman
resulted in a perfect understanding be-
ing reached. Governor Taylor will
continue to act as governor, and Gov
ernor Beckham will make no move to-
ward securing possession of the state
buildings until after the court of ap-
peals has decided the disputed govern
orship The legislature appropriated
$l00, 900 for the use OF Governor Beck
ham in reorganizing the state militia.
Among the more conservative element
in each party the opinion prevails that
the worst is over. Taylor will not out
line any plan of action beyond state
ment that he would continue to act as
governor. Republicans in Governor
TaylOr's confidence, however, say
the court of last resort passes
upon the question at issue Then if
the decision be against him he Will
step out at once and turn over the
state buildings to Governor Beckham.
Democratic leaders assert that they
will chcerfully abide by the decision
Of the court of appeals and until that
decision Is rendered no further action
will be taken. In the senate the bitter
feeling existing between GOcbel and
anti-Goebel democrats was shown
when Senator Carter, president of the
senate, announced that he would GER
sessions since January Both, the date
Of Goebel's assassination, of four anti
Goebrl senators, thus preventing them
from drawing their per diem during
that time.

that her majesty's government shall
recognize the incontestable independ-
ence OF the South African Republic
and Free State as sovereign independ-
ent states and to offer on these terms
to bring the war TO conclusion. In
the beginning Of October last peace cX-
listed between her majesty's country
and the two republics under conyen-
lions which were then In existence.
Discussion had been proceeding for
some months between her majesty .
government and the South African Re
public, of which the object was to OBJ
tain redress for certain very serious
grievances under which the British
residents IN south Africa were SUI
fcring. In the course Of these ncgOtl-
ations the South African Republic had
to the knowledge OF her majesty's
government, made considerable arma-
ments, and the latter had consequent
ly taken steps to provide for CORES
pending reinfOrccments Of the British
garriSons at CapetOwn and in Natal
No infringement Of rights, guaranteed
by the conventions, had up to that
point taken place on the
British side. Suddenly at two
days notice the South African Repub-
lie after issuing an insulting ultima
tum, declared war upon her majesty
and the Orange Free state with whom
there had not even been any discus
sion, took n similar step. Her males
tvs dOmlnlons were Immediately in
yldcd by the two republics. Siege
was laid to three towns within the
British frontier, large portion Of
two colonies was Oyerrun with great
destruction Of property and life, and
tho republics claimed to treat the in
habitants Of extensive portions of her
majesty's duminiOns as II those do
minions had been annexed to one or
other Of them. In anticipation OF
these operations the South African
Republic had been accommodating for
many years past military stores on an
enormous scale, which by their char
actcr could only have been intended
for use against Great Britain
Your hOnOrs make some Observn-
lions OF u negative character upon the
object with which these preparations
were made, do not think 1t neces-
3ary to discuss the questions you have
raised But the result of these pre-
parationS. carried on with great Sc
crecy, has been that the British ON
pife has been compelled to confront
an invasion which has rntailed upon
the empire costly war and the loss of
thousands of precious lives. This
great calamity has been the penalty
Great Britain has suffered for having
Of recent years acquiesced to the OK
istcnce Of the two republics In view
Of the calamitlcs their unprovoked at
tarks have inflicted ON her maJcsty's
domnIons, her maJesty's government

gram by saying they are not prepared

Washington. March l4-Secretary
Gage yesterday made the following
statement in part in explanation Of the
financial bill, which passed the house.
THE bill has for its first object the
! fixing of standard Of value and the
maintaining at parity with that stand
ard Of all forms Of money issued or
coined by the United Stated. 1t reaf-
firms that the unit Of value Is the dol
lar, consisting OF % $40 grains gold
nine-tenths fine but from that point it
goes on to make it the duty of the
secretary Of the treasury to maintain
all forms Of money issued or coined at
parity with this standard. For
that purpose the bIll provides
in tho treasury bureaus Of
issue and redemption, and transfers
from the general fund of the treas
lry's cash $l50,000, 600 in gold coin
and bullion redemption to the fund,
to be used for the redemption OF
United States notes and treasury
notes That fund hcnCclorth Is abso-
! mtcly cut off and separated from
the cash balance in the treasury, and
the available cash balance will here
after show a reduction Of $l50,G00 900
from figures that have heretofore pre-
vailed This fund Is to be used for no
other purpose than the redemption of
! United States treasury notes, and
those notes so redeemed may be ex-
changed for gold in the general fund
or with the public, so that the reserve
fund is kept full with gold to the
| $3.50, 600 limit
III redemptions so on so that the
gold in the fund Is reduced below the
fixed limit, tho secretary is given
power to sell bonds, and 1t Is made his
duty to replenish the gold to the $l50,-
0OO, 900 mark by such means The act
provides for the ultimate retirement OF
all treasury notes issued in payment for
silver bullion under the Sherman act.
As fast rs that bullion Is coined into
silver dollars treasury notes are to be
retired and replaced with an equal
amount of silver certificates
| by declaring that hereafter silver
certificates shall be issued
in only denominations Of 50
and under. except as to 10 per cent. or
total volume. Room is made for this
larger use Of silver certificates in the
way of small bills by another provi-
sion which makes it necessary rs fast
as the present silver certificates Of
high denominations are broken up into
small bills to cancel a similar volume
or Aitod States notes Of small denom-
| nations and replace them with notes
and denominations OF $40 and upward.
"a distinct feature of the bill is in

places on farms as woykmeu, private
dairymen, herdsmen and managers
There have been two calls for every
one wishing a position and as a consa-
quence all OF the students have found
places and many remain untitled. The
applications for students came from
all parts OF the country. from the At
lantic ocean on the east to the Pacific
on the west and the gulf on the south
Many Of the students attending the
school are young men who have no
means Of getting on in the world ex

their own exertions When young
men Of this class who attend the school
are Jealous and faithful. the help
which the school gives them enables
them to easily increase their earning

cases even 100 per cent.
