The New York Sun weakens it's cam
paign against the Hay Pauncefote
treaty by the virulence of it's attacks
upon Secretary Hay. There is room
for honest difference of opinion as to
the extent to which the United States
should recognize European partner
ship in the Nicaragua canal: and over
details of canal administration great
minds naturally differ. But in the fact
That Secretary Hay and the Sun do
not look at these matters from an iden-
'tcal standpoint there is no warrant for
the Suns abusing the secretary of the
state worse than it would berate a
sneak thief or highwayman.

come 4 public and special pleader for his re-
ligion in the country to which he is accredited.
Would it be considered the proper thing in our
minister to publicly and jealonsly advocate the
claims OF Christianity in the Flowery Kingdom?
Criticism OF the accomplished minister's course
is especially pertinent because China sustains
very strained relations to this country, in view
of the cruel and most barbarous massacre OF
American citizens in that land and especially of
Christian missionaries, because they were Chris.
tians.
You ask: 'Why should not WI have the same
freedom for discussion in this country that we
claim for American missionaries in Lhina?" Be.
cause he is the minister from China and not a
private missionary, and because he is discussing
questions that relate to the main issue between
his country and ours, and in the settlement of
which he may be called to assist. 1t would seem,
therefore, that both good taste and propriety
should lead him to maintain an official reserve
regarding religion that appears in such ques.
tionable light, at least until more opportune
time. S. II. AIoon

The stock of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company has risen in
price in expectation of a subsidy,
and the trust stocks generally are ''on
the BOOM" And while it is an
nounced that steel rails are to be put
up to $28 ton, the government has
awarded a contract for armor plate
which is expected to swell the out
put of the steel trust by $4,000, Geo.
Moreover, prices are higher all along
the line. But the employees of the
steel trust at Milwaukee and at Mingo
junction have been forced to accept
a reduction in their wages, as have
the iron workers at Youngstown,
while the night workers in the New
burg steel mill at Cleveland have
been laid off; and in Chicago the
first furry of snow discloses many
cases of pitiful and undeserved desti-
tuition. A grossly material interpre-
tation of the text: "To him that
hath shall be given, and from him
that hath not shall be taken away

describe the vital principle of Nc

Funston Did not SWIM the River.

Funston Did not Swim the River.
You all remember how partisan
friends of Fred Funston tried to re-
fleet honor upon him by crediting
b IN with bravely swimming a river
under fire of the enemy. Republican
papers published pictures of it, and
the new history of Kansas, by Noble
Prentis, gives Funston credit for it.
Now the fact is that Funston did not
swim any river while in the Philip
pines. Capt. E. ]. Hardy of Salina
who was with him says Funston ex-
cused himself saying that he could
not swim. Captain Hardy and two
private soldiers named ia k Hunts
man and Wiley swan the Marilao
river and got a boat. Then Funston
crossed in tho boat.
In the next edition of the history
the falsehood is to be corrected.
This shows how reliable Republi
can press reports are about Republi-
cans and their party issues.

Angry Children.

It is necessary for the child to
learn that it cannot do wrong with
impunity; that it hurts itself by
every display of passion, and accomp-
fishes nothing. The severe measures
taken with such children generally
lack wisdom, GOODNESS, and calmness,
and do no good. The fact is that the
child's anger is usually nothing more
than the over-eXcitement of nerv-
Gus system by contagion. Children
gather this contagiou at very early
age, rejecting conditions most faith
fully.
Terrorizing child does no good; it
has in some cases brought on idiocy
We look too much TO our comfort
not to their benefit. Our harshness
may give us peace, but what does it
accomplish for the child. In mo-
ments Of anger 1t may be noted that,
generally, pUnishments and blows
have little effect. 1t is a nervous
apprehension VIII 'ch must run its
course, once started. Raising nerv
GUS child Lervou.ly is the worst OF
crimes. To calm an angry child s
cries, menaces and blows are of little
value, they only excite il further.
Take child before a mirror and
show him how ugly he looks. Or
throw little cold water over him,
either with cup or from siphon.
If done calmly the shock of the cold
may quiet him Immediately. Put q
towel around his shoulders first so as
not to wet the clothing. Anger is
really an attack of the nerves in
which we sre only half cor rscious. 1t
Is nervous sdisease.-Kansa Farmer

native monarchy and the subsequent
revolt against the foreign regime, he
took an active, prominent and dan
gerous part in behalf of the monar.

ried in Italy to daughter of the
Italian Baron Lorenzo Sobrero, from
whom he has been separated since
1898. Having been notified by the
Italian consul at Honolulu in 1896
that decree of divorce for which he
had applied in Italy was granted, be
married descendant of the father of
King Kamehameha the Great. His
election was opposed on the ground
that no decree of divorce had in fact
been granted, and it is now declared
by his enemies that an attempt to
unseat him upon charges of bigamy
will be made at Washington. Be-
sides electing Wilcox, the indepen-
dent or native party have secured
majority of one in the territorial
senate, and of five in the territorial
house.

Farm Theory and Practice.

In this country farming is not In .
satisfactory condition when the price
OF live stock is not good. Not only is
much land adapted only to grazing,
but the mass of soil products must
be consumed upon the farm to keep
the markets from being glutted. II
they can be marketed on the farm to
animals that can be fed with profit
there is measure of prosperity for
all. The demand for meat called for
the use of all our surplus corn last
year, and the present crop promises
to give good returns. Then, too, the
feeding of crops upon the farm is the
only safe plan for very many farmers.
The soil can be kept up by other
means, but it would not be in pos
sibly majority of instances. The
country that feeds largely has the
surest means of maintaining soil fer
tility. The strength of the soil is
kept on the farm.-Farm and Fire
