Fortunately perhaps for the happi-
ness of the human race, the great ma
jority arc compelled to live by physical
as well rs mental toll, and when we
| come TO contrast the different callngs
into which the exercises of muscle
goes, how infinitely superior life on the
farm appears. Here Il man is an i'll
| dependent being, free TO exercise his
mental faculties and not reduced to a
mere machine like tho tOilors in the
city. Moreover, he must exercise his
mental faculties If he would succeed.
Agriculture is calling to-day for men
OF brains, and the exercise of this brain
force on farming is destined 10 rcvolu.

occupation once looked down upon, in
to the most honorable and desirable of
professions. TO hasten this end we
must have agricultural education not
only III the country but in the cities,
SO that the hundreds now living in
want in our cities may be encouraged 10
venture upon The land. n larger choice
OF occupation is what our boys need
and a chance to loarn how to conduct
it prolitably.
We cry out against country boys go

boys chance TO 60 to the country.
Hundreds OF them have q natural i'll

In h,,,
these business men embrace farm fife
with an enthusiasm which the farmer
seldom feels. The great difficulty in
the way is the lack of knowledge of the
first principles of plant life and the
rudimcntary elements of farm prac-
ticc, and there is little chance for
them TO learn.
Agricultural education, to be effect
i've, must begin III the public schools.
We must excite the youthful mind to-
ward an inquiry into natures secrets
and thereby give them Il leaning to-

agricultural colleges will never lack

The tendency Of the country boy to-

| put upon the market.
Statistics in regard to the exports of
cotton seed products are not full.
Through the port of Galveston in the
season of 1S97-lS9S Che commercial
year is from Sept. to Aug. 81 in the
cotton worldly there were exported
2l2, 500 tons of cotton seed oil, cake
and meal. In the season of lS9S.lS99
these exports reached 24S, ,7O2 tons. In
the season Of 1S99-l000 the total was
lo7 ,32G tons.
The cotton crop Of lS9S.lS99 was
very short. That is the explanation
of the falling off in shipments. In
the shipments of cotton seed oil the
season Of 1S09-l900 was the largest on
record, despite the short crop. One
firm of ship brokers handled in cXccss
of $4,000 barrels mostly consigned to
Rotterdam.
VALUE OF THE SEED rEOpuCT.
In Galveston there arc five concerns
in the cotton seed business. They are
II. l.. Hehin, the Gulf Ports Trading
Co., b. Marshall, f. II. Young and
the Il. Cannon Commission company.
Recently Mr.. Young built refinery
here for the preparation OF cotton oil
for shipment. The American Cotton
Oil company has big plant here, but
owing to some difference with The rail
roads it was closed and Is not now IN
operation.
The exporters report Il fine business,
and a good demand. They look upon
the cotton seed industry as OF .he
greatest promise of the most wonder-
full possibilities and they say as mar
vclous as has been its growth in the
last twenty years the next twenty years
are likely to find it spread and ramily
III larger degree.
The oil IS the most valuable product
Of the crushed seed. The average of
the Texas mills is 35 to 10 gallons &
l-2 pounds to the gallon) per tom of
seed crushed. But if the oil is vau-
able so is every particle Of the residue,
the pulp making the meal and cake,
useful for feed stuff and fertilizer, the
hulls good either for fuel or for coarse
fodder, the ashes of hulls making IA
very rich phosphoric acid and potash
fertilizer, and the refuse oil being cx-
ccllcnt for soaps.
The cotton oil is purely vegetable.
and enters IN the manufacture of in
numberablc products, from butter to
candles and from dyes to paints and
general oils.

1t has pleased Almighty God to bring
our nation in safety and honor through
!. aassheE year. The works of religion and
charity have everywhere been manifest.
Our country through all its extent has
been blessed with abundant harvest beyond
ali precedent. Our commerce has spread
over the world. Our power and influence
in the cause Of freedom and enlightenment
have extended over distant seas and lands.
The lives of our official representatives and
many of our people in China have been
maryelously preserved. We have been
generally exempt from pestilence and other
great calamities, and even the tragic vista
ton which overwhelmed the city of Calves
ton made evident the sentiments of sym
pathy and Christian charity by virtue Of
which we are one united people.
Now, therefore, l, William Mckinley,
President Of the United States. do hereby
Aappoint and set apart Thursday, the 18th
day Of November next, to be observed by
all the people of the United States, at
home and abroad, as day Of thanksgiving
and praise to Him who holds the nations in
the hollow Of His hand recommend that
they gather in their several places of wor-
ship and devoutly give Him thanks for the
prosperity wherewith He has endowed us
for seed time and harvest, for the valor,
devotion and humanity Of our armies and
nayies and for all His benefits to us as
individuals and as nation; and that they
humbly pray for the continuance of His
divine favor, for concord and amity with
other nations, and for righteousness and
peace in all our ways.
In witness thereof / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

Republican Senators.
Wilmington. Nov. SThe Republi-
cans not only carried the state for Nc
Kinley and HUM for governor. but al
SO secured the legislature in both
branches. This means the election OF
two Republican United States senators.
The senate will be composed of nine
Republicans and eight Democrats, and
the house will have 19 Republicans
and Is Democrats, with one tie dis
trict, Red Lion hundred, which COM
prises the Twelfth representative dis
trict of New Castle county. On joint
ballot the legislature viii stand: Re-
publicans, 28; Democrats, %, not in
GLIDING the Red Lion hundred member.
Inasmuch as the Republicans will be
in control of the house of representa-
tives, it is practically certain that
Theodore F. Clark, the Republican
candidate, and who was speaker of the
last house, will be seated. The Republic
cans win have the organization OF the
senate and authority to pass upon the
contest of Howard d. Ross, Republican,
against Francis ]. McNulty, Democrat,
for senator.
The Republicans elected two sena-
tors and nine of the Is representatives
in Newcastle county In Kent county
the Democrats elected two senator's
and each party elected five of the ten
representatives. In Sussex county the
Democrats elected one senator and the
Republicans the other The Democrats
elected five and the Republicans five OF
the ten representatives
The general assembly is Republican,
but it was of the same complexion in
1895 and again in 1899, and both times
senatorial deadlocks continued to the
end. History may repeat itself.

The Election.

It NAV be said of tine Democratic party,
in its fight for the people against the trusts
and the corporations, as was said of the
bull which sought to butt locomotive of
the track, your courage is to be admired
but your judgment Is to be condemned. y
The result of Tuesdays election was Sc
definite and conclusive as to compel tbs
conclusion that the Democracy made Z
vain defence of popular rights.
The losses of the election are, therefore
those of the people and of popular govern
ment.
It was not question Of Mckinley and
Bryan, but Of the interests for which they
We slhow II viii be said shat but fol-
Bryan's attitude on silver, he would havt
secured better results, but we all know
that the silver issue was merely an excuse
for opposing one who threatened the
domination Of corporate influences; and
further, that whomsoeyer should have been
nominated by the Democracy would have
been met by the same concentration OF
governmental benefeiaries which has swept
New York and New jersey and Illinois
and Maryland, under the manipulation of a
Hama.
There once prevailed the belief that
Freedoms battle once begun, bequeathed
by bleeding sire to son, though batfied oft
is ever won, but this was said by Byron
Of Greece, and the present condition of
Greece disproves the theory. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful that any party viii ever
be got together in this country within the
next century to make the battle for popular
rights and popular freedom in which the
Democracy has just been defeated.

In this city the fusion of the Demo-
Gratis with the Municipal League cut
down the Republican county majority,
but j. Hampton Moore, for city treas
urer, and Jacob Singer, for register OF

rality.
The result of former Senator Quay's
effort to secure control of a sufficient
number of members of the incoming
legislature to insure his return to the
United States senate is as yet in doubt.
There is no disputing the fact that the
attempts of his opponents to defeat
him in certain counties by fusion with
the Democrats are practically failure.

Illinois Democrats Claim n Majority

On JOINT baAtOIs
Chicago, Nov. S.-Returns received
from the state at large do not materi-
ally alter the political complexion of
the next state legislature The prob
ability is that the Republicans will
have majority of about % on joint
ballot which means a Republican sue
cessor to Senator Cullom The present
house is Republican by 10 and the hold
over senators give Republican ma
jority of eight in the senate and the
Democrats figure that with but slight
gains they will be able to have a ma
jority of one or two on joint ballot and
thus. replace Senator CuIlom with a
Democrat. In the event of their obtain
ing the control of the legislature, it is
certain that Samuel Alschuler, the de-
feated Democratic gubernatoriaI candi-
date, will be sent to the senate. The
Republicans. however, claim that there
is not the slightest doubt of their hav-
ing control of the legislature, and give
plausible figures in support of their
assertions. Some of them claim IS
members of the house, but this is con-
sidered excessive by the conservative
members of their own party.
