rE(LINE OF OUR BUtKwrEAT.

What Is the matter with buckwheat?
Cakes maue out of Il and eaten warm are
regarded as very nutritious. and are still
a favorite article of food with many
thousands. but for all that the cultiva-
tion of the grain is steadily declining. IL
must be tha. great many have stopped
eating buckwheat cakes, for there is cer-
tainly great deal less of buckwheat to
be eaten than in former days.
Thirty-flve years ago the farmers OF
our country sowed, every year, over l.
100000 acres I'm buckwheat. Since then
the crop has sometimes been larger.
sometimes smaller. but, on the whole,
the acreage and yield have been almost
steadily decreasing. In 1898 the acreage
was 37s332. only little more than half
only ll,70o.000 bushels which was just
one--half the yield at the close of the
civil war.
No explanation of this great decline
In buckwheat raising has been made.
IL Is probable however. that the unre-
liability OF the CROP. which Is sometimes
apparent reason for the variation. has
discouraged a great many farmers. An
other reason for the decline may he
the large use within the past few years
OF cereal preparations. especially wheat.
all OF which come under the general de-
signation Of hygieuic foods. These pre-
parations have probably won many per-
sons from their allegiance to buckwheat
cakes.
II buckwheat raising continues TO de-
cline. perhaps tho bees. most OF all will
miss the fields. for thev are very partial
TO the flowers OF this plant. which secree
a great deal OF honey that Is not. how
ever. of the first quality. as everybody
knows who has eaten ~.
Buckwheat Is not raised widely over
the world. and this fact makes It's de-
cline I'm America. whore II Is most largely
grown. all the more interesting. Rus
sia and France are about the only coun-
tries in Europe that produce ". and Great
Br~sin has never taken kindly 20 buck
wheat cakes, and imports very little OF
the grain.

A Clever Dog.

There is more in a dog than mans
philosophy accounts for. No theory
of instnct-sometimes defined as a
faculty prior to experience and indie
pendent reason-will explain some ac-
lions of clever dog whose case is
reported by a correspondent of the
London Spectator:
| knew dog in Ireland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish in his mouth, to be
filled at the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice a day
instead of once.
The dog resented this, and, when told
to bring the dish, refused. and it could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke anglily to him and ordered him
to bring the dish AT once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ey-
preston he went down the length of
the garden and began scratching up
the soil, where he had buried the bowl
| deep down TO avoid having to bring it
at an hour of which he did not APP

THE CHINESE PUZZLE.

The trouble in China is the
latest straw at which Democracy
is catching. We have actually
heard Democratic leaders unpatri
otto enough to proclaim that we
should allow the lives of our en-
bassadors, consuls and American
citizens in general to be in
danger, without making move
in their defense; and that the ef-
forts of President Mckinley to
cooperate with the other powers
in restoring order is another evil
dence OF militarism. AS we said
in our last issue, and we have no
wish to recede from our position,
we believe the whole affair un-
fortunate, and we believe that the
general principle that any coun-
Try is bound to defend its citizens,
no matter in what dangerous sur
roundings they may place them
selves, is not good one. But the
lOnQlLOn EXISTS thdt we nave &C
eepted this responsibility, that we
have peaceful American citizens
who have gone forth from this
country under treaty guarantees
of safety, who are now being
threatened by violent mobs. Ev-
cry day we read fresh news OF
nassacres and burnings, and
should our country stand idly by
it would be the object of the just
contempt of all mankind Presl-
dent Mckinley has risen to the
situation with greatness and vigor
He has shown that America is
Ijust as willing, and just as able tc
protect its citizens as any Other
power on earth. The man who
attempts to criticise the presiden'
for this action is SO small al
Amerie an, so unpatriotic, so be
low the level of citizenship, s.
4 narrow and so partisan, that ii
Justice 70 the country he shoulc

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY POLITICS.
Democratic county politics a

Democratic county politics are
warming up a little and number
of new candidates have appeared
in the field. For county auditor,
MIR. M. ]. Conway, a we'll known
resident OF Denison township, has
announced his candidacy, making
the field for the office consist of
Collins, Molseed and Conway.
For the clerkship, Mr.. Frank
Faul, editor of Der Demokrat,
has announced himself From
Franks previous record as a can
didate we are inclined to believe
that his announcement will be
about all there is to it. Frank is
good fellow but has never shown
any overwhelming ability in any
line. AS the editor of the German
democratic organ he has had
every opportunity to be success
full and the fact that his news
paper is not a marked success is
due solely to himself. He has,
as we have said before, a number
of good qualities, but energy is
not among them.
For recorder Mr.. Fred w. Ben
ming, OF Charter Oak, has entered
the list against Mr.. Criswell II
Benning should succeed in taking
the Charter Oak delegation away
from Criswell it might endanger
the latter's denomination. The
democratic managers in Denison
will however do everything pos
sible for Mr.. Criswell
Maurice O'Connor, we are in
formed, has finally decided to APP
pear as candidate against SAN
OHare We do not believe that
Mr.. O'Connor will be able to carry
Vail precinct against Mr.. OHare
and if he should we do not think
he would beat O'Hare for the
nomination
For East end Supervisor, Johr
White is meeting with opposition
in the person of Chas Molter, o
Aspinwall, while in the west enc
Clare Butterworth is the Denisol
gangs favorite as against Lang
ley. 1t seems that Mr.. Langley
has fallen from the good graces .
the Democratic powers that be
and it is proposed to discipline
him by not giving him anothe
term as supervisor.
The REVIEW has no persona
interest in these contests, save t.
report their progress to the PEG
pie, but it does hope that Demo
crazy will not aflict the peopl

NOT THEIR DAY.

Next week while democracy is
converting at Kansas City, the
rest of the country will be cele-
brating the anniversary of the
Declaration of independence.
While Democracy is resolving it
self into state OF woe, while 1t is
telling the people in what an evil
land they live, while tits denounc
ing and decrying all manner Of
evils, some real and some imagin-
airy, the people of this country
with that superb confidence in
themselves which has ever been
distinctive feature, will be sending
fourth huzzahs of praise ana
thanksgiving that they live in the
best land God ever made While
Democracy points with sorrow
and scorn, the American people
will point with pride, to American
Institutions. The great deeds of
our country will be recited by a
thousand thousand tongues, and
not the least among these great
achievements will be the acts of
| the Mckinley administration
Who is there, who down in his
heart is not proud of the record OF
the last four years. Who is there
who would wish to see them UNI
done' The skulking Spaniard
and the Brlgand chief of Luzon
would doubtless like to see the
pages of our history tor the last
four years torn from the book of
time. But how an American, a
man who has seen and been part
OF these great accomplishments, a
man who has felt the life giving
breath of prosperity, who has seen
the deep cloud of adversely dis
PEELED, who has seen hope, and
courage and life, and energy thrill
throughout our land, who has seen
our soldiers led to to repeated
victories, who knows the differ
ence between earning a livelihood
now and four years ago, how, we
repeat, such man can join with
the denunclattons of the Demo
cracy, is more than we can con
ceive. Independence Day is not
Democratic institution anyway
Ii the majority of that party hac
had its way, we would have .hae
no nation for which to give
thanks, and over which to rejoice
In the past third of a century nc
, Democratic doctrine or principle
has added one iotd To our nation
advancement. Read the Demo
cratic platforms from 1860 to loo
and you will not find one single
principle, which, enacted int
law, has been for the benefit o
the people. Among the man.
. things for which our people cal
give praise on July 4th is tn
: fact that we areliving under re:

The Arnb Mare.

The Arab is regarded as the first OF
horsemen and the Arab mare as the
perfect steed. The Arabs idea of
horse tanning is of the simplest. The
colt is treated from the first as a mem
Der of the family, like the Irish peas
ants pig. 1t goes in and out of the
tents and is so familiarized with the do
ings Of that extraordinary creature
man that there is never any need of
breaking it in.
The Bedouin is very careful of his
mare He does not mount her when
he sets out to play his usual tricks
upon travellers. He rides camel to
which the mare is tethered Not until
the caravan is in sight does he mount
the mare and give chase. There is, by
the way, an impression that the Bedouin
is q bloody minded person, who would
as lief take your life as not This is
unfair to him; he is a thief of very
peaceable inclinations and much pre-
fers to effect any necessary transfer OF
property with as little bother as posi-
