THE GREEN TURTLE CLUB AND
ITS NEIGHBORS.

We confess to having wondered what
the Green Turtle Club of New Or

which, by its controversy with Lillian
Clayton JeWetf, OF Boston; It's offer Of
$4,000 for her scalp and it's present of
q coffin has gotten as mach before the
public as did Casius NJ. Clay and his
child wife couple OF years ago, or as
did Miss Jewett by her pilgrimage to
South Carolina after the family of
Postmaster Baker, colored, which she
afterward left in Boston to beg for a
living. We wondered what the Green
Turtle Club was, but dared not bare
our ignorance to the eye of the un-
sympathetic, or TO excite the rancorous
outlaws of the irreverent by such a
simple query. No sensitive and
shrinking soul could be expected to
sally forth into the highways and
hedges and argue itself unknown by
asking What the deuce is the Green
Turtle Club. anyway" Better the
fires of unsatisfed and consuming Gu
riosity. We watched the newspapers,
and this, from the New Orleans States,
is our reward:
Miss Jewett is an utterly silly and
harmless creature, and the Green Tur-
tie Club, whatever that may be, to-
gether with the Regents of the Silver
Shield in Alabama. are bringing
Southern chivalry into ridiculc by
their assaults upon woman who,
however silly she may be, is yet a
woman. and utterly harmless. If the
Regents of the Silver Shield and the
heroes of the Green Turtle Club are
afraid of Il Boston woman. in heavens
name, let them quit their gasconade
and gullibility and challenge her TO
single combat. No doubt she will ac-
ccpt the challenge, and then we will
have some fun"

when urged against the subjugation

cases are inherently different; the ends
aimed at utterly dissimilar. The diff
ference in the expansion that took in
Texas and the Imperialism that would
take in the Philippines is the differ
ence between the peaceful acquisition
of State whose people are to be citi-
zens and the forcible acquisition of n

THE SUMS NEW PARAMOUNT
ISSUE.

The esteemed New York Sun has
given up the attempt to paramount

dead and buried issue and is devot-
ing its energies to paramounting .'trea-

Mr.. Bryan's indianapolis speech was
reasonable, in effect if not in intent
1t is good enough to say:
1--WE are glad to say again that The
Sun is not trying to convict Mr.. Bryan
of treason in the statutory sense. We
do not believe that if prosecuted for
that high crime he would be convicted.
We do not want to see him convicted:
we are very far from wanting to see
him hanged. 1t is our sincere belief
that when he sent his message of hope
and patience TO the insurgents in Luz
ION Mr.. Bryan did not understand the
full significance of his words, or fore
see their possible cost measured in the
life blood of American soldiers now
executing the laws under orders from
Now, Mr.. Bryan's speech was either
reasonable or it was not. If it was
reasonable, every consideration of
public policy would demand that he be
prosecuted for 1t. If it was not trea-
sonable. every consideration of public
decency demands that Mr.. Bryan be
spared such gross and vicious attacks
as the Sun makes upon him.
AS we have pointed out before, It is
not at all that this sort of thing in
jures Mr.. Bryan or the Democratic
party. It's ill-concealed malice and
vindictiveness aid, rather than other
wise, the Democracy. a protest lies
against 1t because it transcends the
bounds of legitimate public discussion.
Treason Is rightly considered the most
infamous of crimes. No respectable
newspaper should lay it at the door
of even the humblest citizen, unless it
can prove its charge to the hilt What,
then, shall be said OF newspaper that
imputes 1t to a distinguished states
man, candidate of one of the two
great political parties for the highest
Office in the gift of the American peo-

This is sheer malevolence run mad

WHAT WOULD CICERO SAY OF
IMPERIALISM

The Greensboro Telegram thinks
that undue emphasis is being laid
upon what the Fathers of the Repub-
lie have said as to the scope and aims
of the Republic they founded and that
. too much lament is being made over
j-departures from the lines OF develop
ment indicated by them as best for the
Republic. 1t says:
There were the Identical arguments
made against expanding around Texas
It's are made to-day against expanding
into the Philippines. The lessons of
history teach that one generation can
not lay down iron-clad regulations for
another. Cicero's 20 Temporal. o
Mores!" has been repeated by every
:, generation of men since his day, who
= thought that things were not being
done as the fathers would have done
them"
We have no sort of sympathy with
the doctrine that teaches that things
generally are going to the demnition
g bow-wows; that the good old days
were ideal and the present days abom-

fortunate in its selection from the clas-
sizes? Was there not, as events mex

Cicero Should cry out 20 Tempora. O

clearly showed his statesmanlike in
sight than this lament at what he
clearly perceived to be the beginning
of the end of the Roman Empire. If
his advice had been needed the day of

longer postponed. 1t would not be

GOOD HONEY PLANTS.
4. H. Dun Considers B0khara Clovss
Excellent for Bees, for Feed
and for C-ed.

+ You can greatly improve your honey
flow in your locality by putting out
honey plants, those that also are USE
full or ornamental, besides the honey
they produce. Perhaps the best ::oney
bearing plants and trees are those that
are good for other purposes as we'll.
The most abused and misrepresented,
and the best honey-plant that grows,
is bokhara clover. What I know
about bokhara clover is from my own
experience, having thoroughly test
ed its usefulness not only for honey,
but for food and seed. Bokhara is
an immense seeder, and will produce
ten bushels of seed per acre under or
dinary conditions. This seed has a
ready market at wholesale seed houses
at from six to ten cents per pound,
and usually is retaiied to growers at
from IS to 20 cents per pound. That
bokhara is good feed for stock I
can testify, having used it myself.
This clover, like alfalfa, stock do not
naturally take to. as they do to some
grasses, especially such grasses as
s NV IA (AC AA1uN1O 1Au CdSlCIA SldlOS,
where timothy. blue grass and red
clover abound. Stock there will usu-
ally go around it just as they will
alfalfa, if alfalfa grew there as it
does here. This being true, and from
the fact that bokhara spreads and
grows spontaneously on road sides,
has given the impression to some peo-
pie that it is only worthless weed,
and for the want of proper investiga-
tion and thorough testing it is thus
misrepresented.
If I were planting trees for both
honey and other uses. would plant
linden or "basswood,' as it usually is
called, and also catalpa. The linden
is very valuable for it's white. fine
grained wood. and. as a shade tree,
scarcely has an equal. The catalpa
is noted for it's everlasting posts, and
in this regard it is said to have no
equal. It also is a beautiful shade
tree and both the foliage and the BIOS
SONS are very ornamental. - A. II.

TALK ABOUT COWBELLS.
They Are Made To-Day Exactly a.
They Were a Hundred
Years Ago.

"One OF the comparatively few
things that the hand of improvement
has not touched is the cowbell.
which is made now just as it was a
hundred or more years ago, and has
now just the same peculiar clanking
sound as ever.'' said a bell manufac-
turer to Washington Star writer
recently. "Cowbells are made some
of copper and some of a composition
metal; but most of them are made of
iron and finished with coating of
bronze. The cowbell is not cast; it is
cut from a sheet of metal, which is
folded into shape and riveted. The
metal cap at the top, through which
the strap is passed, is riveted into
the bell. Cowbells are made of ten
sizes, whose sounds range through an
octave Sometimes musical enter
tainers who play upon bells of one
sort and another come to us and by
selection among bells of various sizes.
find eight bells that are accurate in
scale.
"There are only four factories in
the United States in which cowbells
are made. and in each case the cow
bell is only an item of production
among other things. Cowbells are
sold all over the country. just the
same as ever. but much the greater
number is sold in the south, the south
west and the west, where farms are
larger, less likely to be under fence
and cattle are more apt to stray.
American cowbells are exported quite
largely to the various countries of
South America and also to Australia. I"

FOOD AFFECTS WOOL,
Why 1t II Important to Provide Sheep
with Proper Nourishment the
Year Around.

A bulletin of the Michigan station
says: The strength of the weakest
place in the fiber decides the strength
of the whole fiber. So far as the
writer has been able to discover there
is no special ration, which, if fed to
sheep, will produce wool of great
strength, nor can we. at any time,
say that any special ration is to be
recommended to produce a large
quantity of wool. It has often been
observed that sheep and lambs that
have been on full feed for long peri
DDS shear heavy fleeces of wool.
This would indicate that any ration
calculated to keep the sheep in a
thrifty condition would be suitable
one for growing large quantities of
wool. From what we have said above,
the wool grower will understand that
it is highly desirable to provide the
sheep proper nourishment through
out the year, permitting no periods
of neglect to intervene to destroy the
strength of the fbers of the fleece.
Liberal and judicious feeding does not
change the quality of the wool, but
it does affect the strength and the
quantity of the wool produced by a
given sheep. The weight of wool pro-
duced is affected both by increasing
the length OF, fiber and by increasing
the amount of yolk and natural oil
in the fleece. z.
