program is declared by numerous jour
intense; that the outcry against imper-
ialism is at its highest pitch and that
the denunciation of trusts was never
more severe, Republicans whose duty
took them to the polls within the last
two days voted the Republican ticket
with general unanimity. Election con
tests of this nature cannot always be
taken as an expression Of opinion on
national topics; but in the elections
just held the voters divided on regular
party lines to an extent rarely known
before. 1t is a matter of no small mo-
ment, therefore, that in those very
parts of the country where this alleged
discomfort with Republican policy is
said to exist in peculiar strength, Re-
publican victories or gains were re
corded
Thus, in Helena, Montana, normal
ly Democratic city, the entire Repub-
lican ticket was elected by the largest
majority ever given to any local can
didates there; and Republican jori-
ties are reported over the entire state.
In fact, there are good reasons for be-
a Republican state in the national elec-
ton this fall.
In Cincinnati, Cox, the Republican
candidate, was elected mayor over his
Fusion opponent by very large ma
jority.
Illinois showed large Republican
gains throughout the state; and in the
city Of Chicago there was an overturn-
ing in the elections for councilmen
which resulted in the return of forty
three Republicans as against twenty
seven Democrats.
Republicans turned out in great force
in Nebraska, and the party made gains
in all the cities where the election was
fought along party lines. South Oma-
ha, the main Democratic stronghold of
the state, elected a Republican mayor
by 500 majority.
The only place in the country where
Democratic gains are reported is Mich
igan, and this is said to be due to the
fact that the Dutch Hollander vote
went solidly with the Democrats as n
protest against ''the stand taken by the
administration regarding the Boer
war"
In the elections of 1898, the first of
importance after that of President Nc
Kinley, the Republicans We're attacked
with the cry of ''embalmed beef" and
"Algerism.' They carried the House
of Representatives, contrary TO the
usual precedent in the middle of n
presidential term. and held their
ground throughout the Union. In 1899,
with General Otis and the continuing
war in the Philippines as the target
for Democratic criticism, they achieved
victory that staggered the antrim
perialists. In the spring of 1900, under
the unusual strain Of very bitter agi-
tation against the Republican policy
regarding Puerto Rico, they show no
sign of failure.
The political air is full of good Re-
publican augury for next fall.-New

The Colfax chronicle., 1900-09-08

A magazine writer after making
what he claims to be careful estimates
of the increase in the worlds popula-
tion, and of the available land for til
lage, predicts that the supply of cereals
will be inadequate to the worlds re-
quirements after the year 1881. 1t will
then be necessary, he says, for chem
lists to produce some form of nitro
genous food; otherwise starvation will
stare us in the face. In arriving at
this conclusion no allowance appears
to have been made for the decreased
demand for cereals that will follow the
extinction of the horse, predicted by
our automobile enthusiasts and farm,
ing-by-clectricity prophets. According
to these the horse will have passed in.
to oblivion long ere 1881, leaving his
share of the corn and oats available for
the table. With this feature duly con-
sidered we think the scientific chap
may consistently amend his prophecy
by setting the time a few years
further off. 1t will be no less general
ly believed.-Farm Implement News.

Iarge and small Hen. "a. sitter..

Having in mind the idea that good
many autumn chickens will be
Matched, the question of large and
small hens as sitters is not unseasuna-
ole.
While it is fact, believe, based on
experience and observation, that a
small hen usually matches more chick
ems from sitting of eggs than a
large hen, from an equal number. yet
it does not follow that large hens. as
sitters, should be condemned. Rather
investigate the way they are set and
see if the system should not be con-
oemned first.
A large hen must have large nest,
i'll order to get good results from her
eggs, otherwise more or less breakage,
bad odor. and consequent bad hatch
will result. Her nest should not be
deer. nor too shallow, either. 1t must
be wide and shallow. to allow the large
hen plenty of room in which to turn
about and move her feet; otherwise she
will, by her heavy weight. crush some
of the thinnest shelled eggs.
In hot weather the hens often half
stand over their eggs in order to cool
them. and push them out to one side,
too, during the hottest part of the day.
This is another reason why the sitter,
whether large or small, should, at this
season, have ample space in her nest.
Get the chicks from the shell. then
COOP the hen in shady place, where
the chicks can range about good deal,
and they will thrive during the autumn
rs well as in the spring-time.-Farn

But Sol was set on starting his
hawks after this particular flock of
ducks. The patient birds, instead of GO
ing just loitered around, waiting for
their reward. Then Sol grabbed his
stick and began pounding them worse
than before. For about minute the
birds stood it, then it seemed to come
over them all at once that they were
being beaten and cheated after they
had done their duty. Each bird gave
a sort of queer little cry. in which
there was more disappointment at
the way Sol had treated them than an
ger, and then rose in the air and
turned, not in the direction of the
ducks, but toward Soils barnyard.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.
Geo. r. Jester Before the Tex
as Farmers Congress.

III Texas becomes great industrial
state, it must be brought about by
education from the school, the plat
form and the press. In all countries
where the manufacuturng industry
prevails, the government has aided by
establishing and maintaining indus
trial schools; thus the influence and
dignity of the state is emphasized as
to the Importance and necessity Of a
thorough educational training in the
agricultural and mechanical industries.
There is an old German maxim.
"That which you would have appear
In the nation, teach in your public
schools" 1t has been verified in Eu-
rope and the New England states,
where the government has appropri-
ated literally of the public revenue,
in establishing and maintaining ayri-
cultural, textile and other mechanical
schools and colleges; and wherever a
state has manifested this interest,
thousands of young men have availed
themselves of the opportunity tc be-
ccme thorough and efficient. Through
out the southern states, most of the
industrial plants are superintended by
these men.
When Texas planifests the same in
terest in the industrial pursuits as
these have mentioned, there will be
more young men seeking industrial
education and fewer will feel that
they have special talent, and call 10
the professions. 1t is now necessary
to send oct the state for superintend-
ents for our industrial institutions:
but we have yet to. hear of a com
munity that found it necessary to i'm
pert lawyers, doctors and members
OF other professions, which are crowd
ed.
Among the educational institutions
OF our state. none occupy more i'm
portant and prominent position for
usefulness, especially at this time,
than the agricultural and mechanical
college. The good work ow its able
faculty is manifest. and will become
more apparent as the years go by.
The Colfax chronicle., 1900-09-08

i trust the day is not far distant
when textile and other industrial
schools will be added to the agricul-
tural and mechanical college, and that
it will increase the good work of pre-
pairing the young men of the state
for industrial pursuits. If it becomes
necessary to refuse to receive young
men for want of room, let it not be
those who are seeking an industrial
education as implied in the name Of
agricultural and mechanical college.

states of the world in the production

Floating in meadows athrill with thy
song?
Fluting anear my feet,

Oh. could thy spirit to mortal belong!
Tell me thy secret art
How thou dost touch the heart,
limiting of happiness still unpossessed;
Say. doth thy bosom burn
Vainly. as mine. and yearn
Sadly for something that leaves 1t un-
blessed?
Doth not that tender tone,
Over the clover blown.
Flow from a sorrow-a longing in vainf
Or, is it joy intense.
So like a Fang, the sense
Hears in thy sweetest song something of
pain?
Others may cleave the sleeps.
Soar, and In upper deeps
Sing in the heavens blue arches profound; !;
But. thou most lowly thing,
Teach me to keep my wing
Close to the breast of our mother, the
ground!
Soon shall my fieeting lay
Fade from the world away
Thine. ever-during, shall thrill through the
years;
Love, who once gladdened me.
Surely hath saddened thee
Half of thy music is made of his tears.
Long may list thy note
Soft through the summer float
Far DER the fields where the wild grasses
wave;
Then. when my day is done,
Oh. at the set of sun.
Pour out thy spirit anear to my grave!

half a minute before those trained
hawks understood what was wanted oi

after the ducks. Each hawk grabbed
duck, started back with it toward So
and dropped it at his feet.
Then came the first of Soils actions
which turned aside the hearts of his
faithful duck hunters. When the hawks
delivered up their ducks to Sol they
began to look for some liver as re.
ward. But Sol didn't see it that way

SOL kept pointing at the rapidly dis
appearing flock of ducks. and as his
hawks didn't seem TO understand what
he meant, he grabbed stick and be-
gan pounding them with it. 1t was
plain that the hawks were grieved and
mystified, rather than angry. They had
each of them brought in a duck. why
didn't they get their liver? And why
whom they had looked up to and ven.

Finally they gave it up as a bad

meant, and seeing that Sol wanted more
ducks, off the hawks started. but act.

that was really pathetic.

But Sol only grunted out that it was
ducks and not tokens of esteem that he
wanted from those hawks.
AFTER quite a wait we saw the hawks
coming back. They had had a long
chase after the ducks and were pretty
weary when they reached us, but each
faithful hawk was bringing back a
duck, and laid it in front of Sol. Then
every bird looked up in an expectant
sort of way as if he now felt certain of
getting his liver. And it was here that
the real meanness of Soils nature
showed up.
"Sol was just going to reward his
