Every Man to His Trade.

Rev. Chas. NJ. Sheldon has demon
strated by weeks control of the To-
neka Capital that he may fill the pul-
pit reasonably we'll and write accept
able novels, but that he does not pos
sess the slightest conception of the
field that must necessarily be covered
by daily newspaper. The sale of the
few issues OF the week WAS, as might
have been expected, very large, and
at an advanced price over other publi-
cations, bnt this was doubtless due to
curiosity and the brief opportunity af.
forded for gratifying it. Had it been
announced that preacher Sheldon's
control of the paper would continue
indefinitely, there would Immediately
have been a business opportunity
opened for daily paper to meet all
the requirements of trade. The am
bition Of Mr.. Sheldon to act Just as
Jesus would act under given condi-
tions, is commendable, but it involves
infinite wisdom to comprehend other
than those simple environments of the
Christ-life. When our Saviour found
radesmen had turned his temple into
a eden of thieves" simply by convert
ing it into busy mart of exchange
he drove them out and overthrow the
tables of the money-changers, instead
OF making any effort to reform busi-
ness methods which, so far as either
version OF the scriptures is specific on
the subject, related mainly to the sale
of doves. 1t seems but fair to assume
that had the Saviour been actuated by
anything like the ambition of Rev.
Chas. NJ. Sheldon, if a reversal of the
smile may be pardoned, he would
have endeavored, then and there, to
inculcate the principle of honesty and
fairdealing, using the object-lesson af-
forded by deception, dishonesty and
deceit, to point the moral of his teach
ing.
1t is an objectionable assumption
for any mortal to attempt to grasp a
conception of what the Master would
have done under any state of circum.
stances. His whole life was a revela.
ton, as we'll as a mystery. He sci.
dom, if ever, did what was expected he
would do, or what mortal man would
have done, under the same circum-
stances, but it was always admitted to
be the embodiment of divine wisdom.
There is a field for Christian Jour-
nalism, and that it has been we'll and
ably filled, without trenching upon
the province of the secular newspaper,
has been shown by the many denomi-
national religious papers that for ages
have been proclaiming the glad It'd
ings to a degenerate world. None of
these have, however, claimed that their
promoters have undergone a process
OF sanctification that would enable
them to emulate the example OF Him
who spake as never man spoke.

Conspirator Becomes States Witness.

Slowly but surely the chain of evil
dence is closing around the conspira-
, tors who assassinated Senator Goebel.
/ +. W. Golden, OF Knox county, an in
innate friend of Secretary OF State
! Powers, Saturday, testified that Powers
had sent him into Harlln county to
tell Postmaster Iiirst to send "ten
witnesses in a contest case, who were
to be regular mountain feudists,"
which he said. when interpreted, meant
" to select men of sufficient nerve to
so into the legislative halls and kill off
enough Democrats to give the Repub.
licans majority"
1t was further stipulated that these
witnesses" should bring with them
"good Colts forty-fves." This was
but one of the acquisitions made for
thugs to do the murderous work
Golden testified that Powers had made
provision for an army of mountain
volunteers to assemble at Frankfort.
Golden was told later on that Goe
bel was to be assassinated; that two
negroes were to do it-Hereker Smith
and Dick Coombs. He deposed that
the latter had said in his presence, re-
ferring to Goebel: damn him, l
know him, and 1 can kill him as far
as can see him." This statement was
made in the Adjutant Generals office.
Golden likewise heard Acting Cover.
nor Taylor say, when urged to call out
the militia: "My God, you must do
something first! l can get the militia
out soon enough. You must act first"
BY that, Golden understood that some
overt act had to be done to justify Tay-
lor in proceeding to extreme measures.
Golden states that he was impelled
to make the confession for fear of fu.
ture trouble. He had been threatened
with arrest, if he did not tell what he
knew, and he thought the best course
was to tell the truth and rely upon
the mercy OF the commonwealth for
protection from punishment for COM
plicity.

A Rich LUNATIC TO ESTABLISH A
PRIVATE EDEN.-A wealthy man in
Connecticut named Weed, has set
about Transforming his farm into a
veritable Garden of Eden, or as near q
counterpart as possible that may be
obtained from the biblical account of
the home of her first parents. His
farm, near Stanford, is a beautiful
tract of land, with splendid groves of
trees, ripping stream and other
natural characteristics that may, by
the hand OF Art, be wrought into
some semblance of an ideal paradise.
Mr.. Weed intends to enact the role OF
Adam, and in order to be as consis-
tent as possible, will ask the Legisla.
ture to change his name to Adam,
and as he is a bachelor, the way is
open for him to secure temptress
from the daughters of his grand old
namesake instead OF submitting to the
somnollent abstraction of q rib to OBJ
tain an Eve. He advertises for any.
body of kind nature and religious in
clinations by the name of Eve to step
forth and assume the second star part
in the neat little domestic drama to
be enacted. Whether, however, he
can find anybody who in our days
of elegant personal adornment. will
content herself with a robe consisting
Of single fig-leave, seems at best
problematical. There may be some
concession made on this point, how
ever, for Mr.. Weed intends to Danish
serpents as completely from his Eden
as St. Patrick drove the reptiles from
Ireland, and there are to be no apples
to tempt the feminine nature of a
credulOus Eve

Objection to Wire Nails.

The Scientific American, of the
l4th inst, notes the remarkable fact
that cut nails from wire and steel are
again coming into use and with de.
cided appearance OF preference over
the wire nail, that indicates a perma-
nent restoration to favor. The reason
given is the liability OF the latter TO
rust, comparison of utility being az
forded more particularly by the
shingle nail. Roofs nailed with wire
" four-pennies" have become practi-
cally useless in ten years, and it is
not always caused by the salt con-
tanned in some of the wood fiber that is
floated to the mills in sea water. Cut
nails, even under this condition, do
not so readily corrode, and generally
hold until the timber rots. The in
PRODUCTION of steel wire nails made
great inroads upon cut nail business,
being so much more pleasing to the
touch and easier to drive, but now the
cut nail shops are adding new ma
chinery and making preparations to
compete on lasting merit. To meet
this, the steel wire nail combine is
making nail with an extraordinarily
large head, protecting the shaft from
dampness, and galvanizing it all over,
and they make a claim that it will
outlast all others. Ii the COMPETE
ton on merit has tendency to re-
store nails to something like old
prices, it will do as much good as in
guaranty of better quality of the wire
product.

Black Hills Forest

Mr.. E. M. Griffith, a field assistant
in the division of Forestry of the De
partment-of Agriculture, with large
body of assistants, has just finished
making forest survey of the Hills Re.
serve in South Dakota. The summer 's
work, which has thus been finished, is
preliminary to the preparation of a
working plan' for the forests of the
Reserve, which was undertaken at the
request of the Secretary of the Interior.
1t will be submitted to him by next
spring, and. if adopted, will result in
the first application of scientific for
estrv to our national lands. The Black
Hills Reserve, on which this examina.
tion has been made, contains 1,2l1 $50
acres. No other tract of it's size in this
country or abroad presents more favor
able conditions for forest management
than this Reserve. Markets are ac-
cessible on all sides, aud there is a
large ana steady demand for timber.
The forest, too, reproduces itself easi-
ly and grows with great rapidity, so
that. although cutting and burning
haYe gone on in some places, the pro-
bleln which is presented is not, as in
southern California, that of forester
Ing scanty growth and creating for
est conditions, but rather of utilizing
and caring for an already we'll -estab-
lished forest.
In the course of the summers work
q part OF the Reserve was examined,
and on 1000 acres exact figures were
collected regarding the size aud kind
of all standing trees. From such meas
urementS estimates of the present |
stand and future yield of timber Can
be compiled, and on these the recon-
for the management Of the
reserve will be .sed.
After leaving the Black Hills Mr..
Griffith and his student ass istants went
to Southern Missouri, where they ale
now beginning similar field work on
large tract of hardwood land belonging
10 the Deering Harvester Company.
This company, which applied for a
working plan last spring. has under
'aken the raising of timber for it's own
use.
