Some weeks ago / noticed in the
CITIZEN copy of a circular to be
sent out by the United States Census
Bureau to all the farmers for them
to estimate and set down the cash
value of all crops raised in 1899.
This is to be done, it seems, to speed
the census taker on his way. Now
l want to let everybody know that
my dander is up and | expect to ex-
plain matters, If not to other peoples
conviction, to my own satisfaction at
least.
There are great manv crops a
farmer raises much against his will
which have cash market value. but
which he is utterly unable to esti-
mate; nor do | think the Census Bu-
reau, assisted by Mark Hanna and
the entire Strategic Board, by the
severest cross examination, can come
any nearer to it than the average
farmer. Every farmer who has
swamp or his farm raises every
year a prolific crop of tad-poles,
which ultimately turn to frogs,
and evidently have cash market
value. L would like to see a
census enumerator slushing around
in swamp shooing mp the
frogs and then estimate their value
as they fly. Then there is the festive
weed known as polk, which ac-
| cording to the market reports has a
certain cash value. And rabbits aud
birds-woodcock aud quail, and 9th
er things too numerous to mention.
But that is neither here nor there, for
the United States Government has
no more business with my private af-
fairs than a Dago. just so long as
buy my usual amount OF war tax
stamps it is none of their business
what raise, Just so | don't raise too
much of the kind on them. There
is one indispens sable crop that has to
be raised on the farm occasionally,
which clearly has q cash value which
cannot be estimated any more than
some other things. They are raising
fine crop of it now in South Africa
and Kentucky. Some of the unso.
phisticated knights think that Otis
and Mckinley are raising it in tn,
Philippines, but they are not, they arr
only playing at it. The revised edi-
ton spells it Sheol, but rather fayo
the way they spell it down in Texas
where it was originated. And know
all men by these presents, that il

CONTRABAND OF WAR.

The interview by the United States
Ambassador Choate with Lord Sails
bury on account OF the recent seizures
by British vessels Of American -four
consigned 70 a neutral port, shows the
friendly relations between the two
countries interested. our government
has indeed exercised much patience in
the matter, giving Great Britain all the
time needed to clear the situation. And
1t appears that Lord Salisbury is TAX
Ing advantage OF this disposition. He
assured Mr. Choate that Americas
rights would be considered, but that, as
yet, the question whether -four is con-
traband Of war had not been definitely
decided. The ablest lawyers are now
at work TO find out whether it can be
50 considered or not.
Great Britain, however, is taking des-
perate chances in this war; both in the
matter OF SELLING provisions consigned

Russia, or France. over the African

pie are Jealous Of their rights, and IL
public opinion should be aroused in
consequence Of supposed disregard Of
those rights, no one can tell before

all the tact Of Admiral Dewey to avoid

NOT READY FOR ARBITRATION

A Brussels dispatch says that lead
Ing members OF the Universal League
Of Peace have conyoked a meeting TOT
the purpose Of appealing 10 the United
states for mediation in the South ATT
can war Among the promoters OF this
movement are Senator Dejeane former
Belgian minister Of justice; and ex-
Senator Lafontalne.
This effort for an early cessation OF
hostllltles win find hearty response IN
this country where the war Is very
generally regarded as one OF the ca
lamties OF the century. Both In Com
gress and out Of II, prominent men ana
women Of all parties would gladly lend
their influence TO establish peace be-
tween the combatants.
But at the same time It is apparent
that the matter In dispute between
Great Britain and the Transyaal Is
outside Of settlement by arbitration at
present. The contest is TO decide
whether Dutch or English influence
shall be paramount In the country set
tied by the Transyaal Beers There can
be no compromise ON this point, nor Is
any Of the parties as yet disposed TO
give in The Beers have had nearly all
the advantage, so far, and they are
confident that the subiugation OF the
country will be a task Ear more ex-
pensiye In lives and property than
Great Britain anticipates. For this rea-
son they are not In n frame Of mind TO
surrender their claims to complete in
dependence. Great Britain. on she
other hand, feels confident that the war
must end in British victory. and that
arbitration consequently is out OF the
question.

ness OF a continuation OF hostllltles. In
all human probability the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State will ultl-
mately be at the mercy of their gigan-
tic antagonist. Then will be the time
for friendly interference. AS Europe
a few years ago, saved Greece from an
initiation by the Turkish empire, so
the United States may probably at the
proper moment interfere In a friendly
manner. to save from extinction the
two South African Republics. Ameri-
can influence should go long way,
when the time for the final settlement
of the accounts comes. But before that
time, there is no way Of interfering
without disregard Of international ell
