MEN BEHIND THE OXNARD TARIFF

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Were the men now behind the Oxnard tariff entirely blind and ignorant in their course, there might be some pardon of them, but when, with the whole rank and file of the republican party in revolt against them, with the full knowledge of this revolt in their possession, with the &C., knowledged probability of disaster staring them in the face and with the confession on their lips, that they are compromising the Mckinley administration and are open ing the door of opportunity to lWillisca J. Bryan, they still declare their pTszoose of standing Joy a half dozen mistaken repub- lican leaders in the lower house it is diff ficult to see how betrayal of party trvst, Lloach of party faith and repudiatioa Of party pledges could go to more Famous ex- tremes.

MY MIND 10 HE KINGDoM IS

Sir Edward Dyer. My mind to me kingdom is, Such present joys therein l find, That it excels all other bliss That earth affords, or grows by kind Though much l want which most would
 have.
 Yet sitiL my mind forbds to crave. No princey pomp, no wealthy store, No force to win the victory, No willy wit to saiye sore, No shape to feed loving eye; To none of these yield as thral: For why? My mind doth serve for al. see how plenty surfeits oft, And nasty climbers soon. do fall; I see that those which are aloft Mishap dcth threaten most of all; They get with toll, they keep with fear, Such cares my mind could never bear. Content to live, this Is my stay: I seek no more than many suffice; I press to bear no naughty sway; Look, what I lack my mind supplies; Lo thus I triumph like a king, Contept with that my mind doth bring Some have too much. yet still dofcrave; 1 little have, and seek no more. They are but poor, though much they have And I am rich with little store: They poor, I rich; they beg. l give: They lack. leave; they pine, live.

Award and Delauoa Bay Case,

The award of G60o. 600 is very unsatisfec- tory to English claimants, and very disap- pointing no doubt to American claimants, among whom the family of Colonel Me Murdo are numbered. It will scarcely pay the cost of construction of the railroad, made by Portugal and afterwards confis- cated. It is simply decision in favor of the. holders of bonds issued by the confis- cated railroad. It clears Portugals title, and robs all the rest of the parties. It. robs the MdMurdo family of justly expected profits
 Doubtless Portugal can pay so small an award without difficulty, either with or without the help of the Transvaal. Swiss sentiment has all along been strongly pro- Boer, and the award is fully in accordance with Swiss sentiment Ii is Swiss verdict under the pressure of Swiss sentiment, and the English and American claimants out side of some bondholders, pay the penalty. The plan of arbitration. at least by Swiss arbitratcrs, will not Joe tried very soon again.
 But if Lord Roberts campaign is ended by the capture of Pretoria and the down fall of the 7Transyaal republic, the Swiss scheme of help and intervention will fail also. The railroad will be rendered value less to the Boers, and the chief object of so small award Will fall flat. Even Portugal will not be benefited, but Portugal was lost sigiJt of at Berne. There 1t was Boer and anti-Boer, and the Boers won the verdict. Its value depends altogether upon, Lord Roberts rapidly approaching campaign.

Advice to Farmers

From the Russell Register
 One thing farmers must not neglect, and that is to put in good acreage of coEn and other food crops for man and beast. After they have done this they can make thelr cotton. Cotton must be a secondary crop with prosperous farmer. farmer cannot be successful and buy his suppl.es for himself and his beasts in the west.

X sug gestion to the Planter
q the oneonta Democrat.

From the Oneonta Democrat.
 If anyone is to deal in cotton futures, why should not the farmer take a hand? Cotton brokers are now selling cotton to be raised this year at cents, to be deliv cred in October. Would it not be a safe plan for the farmer to sell to the brokers at this price instead of taking chances in the open market next fall?

The Talented Family of Badrn-PoweIl

Everyone knows B. P, of Mafeking. His name has become a household word throughout the empire during the past few months. He comes of an extraordinarily clever family, and although he is the most distinguished member thereof, his brothers are not lacking in distinctions of their own.
 One brother, Sir George. who died last year, was very great political economist, member of parliament during many years, a fluent debater, and a postmaster in ac- countancy.
 Another brother, Major Baden Fletcher Smyth Baden-Powell, of the First Scots Guards, now with Lcrd Methren's force, has made a speciality of signaling and ob- servation by means of an ingenious se- ries of box-shaped kites strung together, and capable even in wind of raising a man to some height above the ground. This is invaluable in many cases where balloon ing is out of the question. Another inveGr ton of this talented officer is a method of attaching an automatic camera to a kite, and thus photographing the disposition of the enemy's force.
 Taken all around. perhaps, the Baden- Powell family is as gifted as it Is conven- tent for any one family to be.

UoRPoRaTIoNs AND sENAroR R MORGAN

From Nhe New York York Journal.
 Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, has incurred the especial enmity of the trusts by reason of his championship of sundry bills which they are endeavoring to defeat.
 They would like, therefore, to see Senator Morgan retired to private life. It is openly assorted that with this end in view MT. Collis P. Huntington and six transcontinen- tai railroads which are lobbying to defeat. the Nicaragua canal bill are sending large amounts of money and numerous emissaries to Alabama to encompass Morgan's defeat.
 During his service in congress Senator Morgan has proved himself an honest, con- sciertous statesman, staunch American. and a consistent uphoder of the peoples rights The adherents of the Nicaragua canal could lose no sturdier champion than the senator from Alabama
 It is to be hoped that the people of that state will give no heed to either arguments or money coming from corporation sources. As Mr. Morgan himself says: "They are certainly too wise and honorable to ever yield to the opposition or the bribes of selfish railroads who want to defeat the canal bill"
 MT. Morgan's reelection would be an hon. or to Alabama and a benefit to the entire Union.
