The Doctrine of Despair.

From the Denver Daily News.
I've heard-who has not?-the disciples
of death,
Who preach from the gospel of gloom;
Who argue THAI life is a dust and a
breath
And ends with the door of a tomb;
Who find in their ultra-material scheme
No place for whence and a hence:
Who figure that God is myth and a
dream,
Because undiscerned by the sense;
And often I've thought as I've heard
them declaim,
If what they predict should befall,
If this little world be the end of the
game,
That what is the good of ii all?
It's progress, you say? IT'S the bringing
to birth
OF our kind? IT'S transmission of lore?
But what will it be when this dying, old
earth
And our human race are no more?
Are all of our struggles and dreams to
achieve
No goal but in ashes and dross?
Where goes our experience? Can you
conceive
universe ending in loss?
If love- aspira ton, the lessons we learn,
Our hope and our wisdom must fall,
If these treasures die in the coffin or
Then what is the good of it all?
Are those that we love, who have van
ished from sight,
The child or the wife we adore,
The mother, the sweetheart, who've
passed through the night
To meet us and greet us no more?
Away with this soulless, illogical creed,
This damnable dogma of doubt,
That gives to the torn heart of soiace in
need
A bubble, a sheer, or a fout.
If life and the blessings 1t brings to our
view
Must end with the shroud and the pail
The loving and beautifully noble and true
Then what is the good of il all?
The mind of the human is filed with a
dream
OF life in some fair by and by
1t is not a part of the Infinite scheme
To place in our spirits a lie.
The poets. philosophers, sages and seers
Have told us the glory to be;
A strain of sweet music floats over the
years,
That's waited from far Galilee.
And added to these is the voice OF the
soul
That speaks from the Silence its call,
Assuring us life while the ages shall roll;
And this Is the good of 1t ALL
I'd far rather have the sweet faith of a
child,
The open-eyed wonder of youth,
With reason unwarped and with mind I'M
defled,
Believing in goodness and truth,
With visions of splendor enchanting and
rare
And learned in the lore OF a dream,
That versed in the modern cult Of
despair,
The science of things as they seem.
I'd far rather trust in the ultimate right
Than build up my doubts as a wall
To shut from my sight that fair kingdom
of light,
Revealing the good Of it all.

ROYAL Dealer in diamonds.

Few folk are aware that the German
Emperor Is the owner of some profitable
diamond mines in German Southwest At
RIGA. says the Golden Penny. Here is an
interesting incident anent the splendid
black and white gems which have recently
been brought from those mines. The frst
parcel of precious stones reached the Kali
ser last autumn, and he turned the choice
contents of it out on. to his library table.
Then he sent message TO his lady rela-
tiyes. whom he invited to come and see
"a little surprise he had in store for them,
but without giving them any hint as to
its character. The ladies arrived, gazed
at the miniature mound of costly gems,
turned them over carelessly a few times,
and appeared somewhat surprised.
"Why have you sent for us to look at
such trif1es as these?" asked one of the
sisters, evidently ignorant as to the in
trinsic value of the "trifies" she toyed
with.
These are some Of the choicest black
and white diamonds from my own mines
at Barsebaland, and the handful you now
hold is worth at least $4,000 replied her
royal brother. Then he smilingly added:
Now, as you have, been handling my
diamonds. you must go into my search
ing-room, according to the rule which
governs all who enter my mines or stores. 7"

THE YACHT RACE

Lovers of that Clean legitimate gentle
mans sport, yacht racing look forward to
a series of interesting and possibly excit-
ing contests on Thursday and Friday and
possibly Saturday also, between yas8 is
representing the Charleston and Savannah
yacht clubs. Our visitors are here with a
fine and swift craft, and an able crew, de-
termined to regain the challenge cup
which they held so long in their posses
sion, and which through their generous
courtesy two years ago we were enabled
to win. The action of the Charlestonians
in loaning us a boat, which won the
cup for us, infused new life into the Sa-
vannah yachting world, and last year we
met them with a craft of our own which
handily defeated the Charleston represen-
tative and left the cup in our hands. Nat
urally, our friends, the enemy" were put
upon their mettle, and ordered built
yacht which should be able to defeat the
Savannah champion. Their new craft, the
iMaris, is now here, ready for the fray.
The spirit CT friendly rivalry is strong;
and not only is Il felt among the yachts
men, but the public of the two cities have
become imbued with it. Especially is this
true of Charleston, which has always been
fond of aquatic sports. In that city it is
said one can hardly hear anything else on
the streets, in the clubs and even in the
homes, but yachting talk. The person who
is not in position to discuss club top
sails, flying jibs close-hauled mainsails,
toppin' lifts, gaffs, and other nautical
matters, receives but small attention in
Charleston these days, and is seldom in
vited to splice the main brace. OF course
the soyal Charlestoniens are all hooters
for the Maris. Several hundred of them
will attend the races, hoping to see their
fond hopes of a clean-cut victory realized.
Our friends have got a boat worth
whooping for, and we are glad they are
doing 1t. Their enthusiasm will warm ours
up. We, too, have got a good boat. She
is not quite as big as her rival, but the
time allowance will even that up. And
smart! There isn't anything smarter in
Southern waters. Her record shows that.
With skiilful hand,ing-which she will GER
tainly get-there does not appear to be any
reason why she should not give the
Charleston boat all that she is looking for,
and maybe a little more The probabili-
ties are that the speed of the boats is
about equal, considering time allowance,
and that the contest will hinge upon the
skill of the crews. That being true, Sa-
vannah has nothing to fear of the out
come. We raise as good sailors here as
they do In Charleston.
Meanwhile, we bid the visiting craft and
crew hearty welcome and say, May the
better outfit winl'

spirit of courtesy nearly cost him his Life
and the loss of his yacht one day, when
the boom of lighter swept the Cora's
deck clean. Yesterday I hoped of the
sidewalk into the gutter TO make way

THE FLORIDA GovERNoRsHIP.

The approaching State convention of the
Democratic party in Florida promises 20
be one of the most interesting that has
been held in that state for long time.
And 1t is by no means certain what the
outcome of the contest for the guberna-
torial nomination will be. Each of the
candidates has very devoted following.
The indications are that there win have
to be quite number of ballots before
any one of the candidates will be willing
to retire. 1t would not be surprising If
the contest should be a prolonged one.
Some of the delegates have expressed the
opinion that the convention will find IT.
self unable to make a gubernatorial
nomination. This, however. is an ex-
IRENE view. 1t is hardly probable that
the delegates win go back to their con-
stituents without performing the duty for
which they were chosen. The candidate
having the smallest number of votes will
be dropped after each ballot, if necessary,
until only two remain, and then the con-
vention will make nomination, in all
probability, without much trouble.
1t is by no means certain that the
gubernatorial candidate who has the most
pledged delegates will be the nominee.
Opinions differ widely as TO who the nomi-
nee will be. In one part the state
different opinion is held from that enter
tanned in another part. This means, of
course, that the friends of the various can
didates are doing very earnest work for
their favorites. One thing Is admitted,
and that is that there is very good ma
terial from which to make a nomination.
If any one of the candidates is chosen,
Florida is certain to have a good gov

Il is a little singular that about the
only mention of the name Of Beveridge
that has been made in the papers recent
~ occurred in a Manila cable saying that
copies of the Senator's speech had been
found in the saddlebags of a Filipino Off
Ger, supposed to have been Aguinaldo,
who was killed or seriously wounded by
Maj. March's men. Beveridge, by the
way, appears to have been one of those
lights that failed. When he first entered
the Senate great things were predicted Of
him by his friends. 1t was intimated that
by his eloquence and erudition he might
be expected to take not only the Senate
but the country by storm. There were
those who looked forward to him as a
vice presidential possibility, it, indeed, he
did not put himself into the line of pro-
motion as the successor 10 Mckinley. But
Beveridge encountered Senator Hanna
some time back, and the great boss put
his extinguisher upon him; therefore, the
young Demosthenes from Indiana lam
guishes in obscurity.

THE COTTON ACREAGE.

If the estimates made by the correspond
ents of Latham, Alexander & Co. are APP
proximately correct, the increase in the
cotton acreage. is not nearly as large as
ii has been thought to be- That firm sent
to its correspondents in the cotton states
inquiries as to the increase. 1t sent 4.3OO
letters, and up to May "a had received
EST replies. These showed the greatest
increase to be in Florida, an increase of
II per cent, and the least in Texas an
increase of per cent.
Reports from all of the cotton states
showed the total increase of the cotton
acreage to be "a per cent, or 1,222,-
ga acres The inquiries further stated
that the planting in all of the states was
late, the average being about fifteen days
later than last year.
Unless the season should be an excep-
tonally good one the increase in the acre
age would not result in such an increase
of the crop as to materially affect the price
of cotton. No doubt there will be efforts
to lower the price all through the season
by those who are in the service of the
spinners. particularly the European spin
ners. Such efforts are made every season.
They were made last season, and misled
the European spinners to such an extent
that they refused to buy cotton until they
became alarmed by the steady advance
in the price. Finally, they found out that
the crop was actually a short one and
that 1t would have to be brought promptly
to avoid paying price that would make
1t difficult to compete successfully with
spinners who wisely bought early in the
season.
The cotton planters would have shown
greater wisdom il they had not increased
their Acreage. A crop of the size of the
one of the present season brings them
more money than a crop two or three
millions of bales larger. And it costs less
to raise and handle small crop than a
large one. If the cotton farmers would
cut down their cotton acreage a fourth,
and bring their land up to a high degree of
fertility, they would make a great deal
more money than they do.
What is wanted here in the South Is in
tensive farming. The farmer who raises
a bale or bale and half of cotton on
an acre, gets ahead in the world much
faster than the one who makes a bale on
three acres, and yet on most land It is
quantity per acre depends largely upon
fertilization and cultivation. The planter
who plants more acres than he can prop
erly fertilize and cultivate usually finds
himself in debt at the end of the year.

How difficult 1t is to get the better of
the trusts has been freshly illustrated in
Texas. That state has a stringent anti
trust law, under which few months ago
a suit was brought against the Waters
Pierce OIL Company. The court declared
that under the law the company was a
trust, and issued its injunction perpetually
enjoining the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
from doing business in that state. In
obedience TO the letter of the law the
company was dissolved and a new COM
pany. composed OF identically the same
persons. with the same officers, having
the same property and doing precisely the
same sort of business, was organized. As
a matter of fact the new company is mere
ly continuation of the old one under a
new charter. And the new company has
been issued a permit to do business In
Texas by the Secretary of State. In order
TO restrain the new company another cost
ly prosecution would have TO be begun and
carried out. with the probabilities in favor
Of another reorganization in the event of
a second adverse verdict. 1t is a very
easy matter to control or destroy" the
trusts in a speech or on paper. but IL is
an extremely hard matter to do either in
reality
