right direction, which is very,
very often, did not have a good
time Of it at all. The discomforJs
of travel remind me that
"When was at home,
l was in batter place; but travellers must be
content''
There were compensations, how
ever, as, please Providence, there
nearly always are. From Paris
to Brussels the train takes you
through Picardy, in a northeast
erly direction, through as fine q
farming country as ever saw.
The wheat fields reminded me of
those at home, while the sugar
beet, which is cultivated all over
France, Belgium and Germany,
furnishes wide eXpanse of dark
green in the beautiful landscape.
Occasionally there are hop fields,
and kidney bean fields, called
corn over here,-and oats, not
yet ready for the reaper, and po-
tatoes like those that grow back
there in Ireland. Your French
farmer is a farmer right. There
are no weeds in his crops, nor
grass. And then, his ditchrows
are clean, he has no fences
and ne cultivates right up to the
very edge of the beautiful road
ways that run every way, and
when a wheat field adioins a beet
field, as very often it does, a
golden wall of ripe grain rises up
and towers above the humble
beet, with never a weed, nor a
toot-path, nor any other evidence
OF slip-shod method to intervene
All this part of France is like one
vast garden. So clean is every
crop that found myself wonder
ing if during all these years of
careful cultivation the genus
weed had not grown discouraged
and departed for other lands. I.
presume not, however, as ovefy-
where were men and women with
hoe, and spade, and oultivator,
and fork, digging and spading
and plowing as industriously as
the Arkansas farmer does when
ne "gets in the grass" If our
people were as industrious as
these French farmers they would
soon own the habitable globe, and
our farmers are no slouches,

dels Of clearness, argument and
eloquence. They rank with Mr..
Bryan's speech Of acceptance as
temperate, elevated and patriotic
contributions to political thought.
Among Bourke Cockrau's reasons
for supporting Bryan are these:-
|. Because it is the only way to
make opposition to imperialism
effective.
2. Because voting for third tick
ct would be equivalent to Austen
ton from the polls.
3. Because Imperialism is the
dominant issue.
4. B.csuse the election will settle
the question irrevocably.
5. Because Bryan's election will
put quietus on the imperialistic
adventure"
6. Because no Presidential cleo
ton ever decided more than one
question.

carriage in which Colonel Samuel
Parker was driven around town last
evening. 1t is funny indeed that
Sam should be paraded around the
streets as the friend OF the men who
trampled the Hawaiian flag under
foot in the carriage where once he
sat as the friend and gentleman in
waiting on Kalakaua. No wonder
he looked lonely. Perhaps he felt
the presence OF the spirit of his late
