insisted that the Democrats should hold a

famous Pertle Springs meeting OF 1880, take

cans and jeopardize their own success IN

After many weary months OF useless la

the country Democrats that their worst

A ridiculous side of the political situa-

by outsiders, is the persistency with which
the Republicans seek to act as counsel Tor
the Democratic party. The latter has never
sought to advise the Republicans. but to the

AIDING NATURE.

Not the least effect of the drough.
will be the booming of irrigation in
those strips of country where natural
circumstances favor the plan. Years
of plenty with surplus of water have
undoubtedly lulled interest in the arti-
fetal conservation of sufficient water
supply. With wheat and corn coming
up as by magic, it is small wonder that
farmers have put off for the morrow the
Insurance of crops by the building Of
irrigation canals.
At the Irrigation Congress held re-
Gently in Colorado. the reports from
every section of the country where
means had been taken to store up the
water for times of drought showed that
at suitable places the expense was a
small consideration when the practical
results We're considered. 1t is unfor-
tunately true that agriculturists have
often hesitated about acquiring such an
Improvement because of the initial cost
Of the enterprise.
An irrigation system, properly made,
is for all time. The storage Of the wa

Of the year when every stream has full

It is not alone the arid portions of the

COMPELLING PRAISE.

Indiana's progression in literary fields
has not astonished the reading public
without just reason. 1t is not through
any advantages Of locality or friendship
with the publishers that the State has
gained an ascendency in letters. The
praise has followed the placing of their
braih-products ON the market. The in
trinsic merit of the productions has
fastened justly earned fame on the
Hoosier State.
1t is not to be consistently believed
that a combination Of lucky circum-
stances has made Indiana the home of
so many literary lights. The accidents
Of birth have often rescued an Avon
from obscurity, but where numbers Of
leaders in thought and action arouse a
national admiration, it must be argued
that the general average of culture and
intelligence must be above the ordinary.
In the current number of Success,
General Lew Wallace and James Whit
comb Riley give their views ON the So
called literary redemption of Indiana.
As the two men who first inaugurated

who accentuated the characteristics of

southern part Of the State by Southern
ers who in turn retained the dialect and
habits Of Dixie. The Hoosier was q

Baltimore, Nd, July T-The Reverend
Herman D. Van Broekhuizen, clerical repre-
sentative of the South African Republic in
the United States. and now in this city. de-
clares that the Beers can never forgive the
British.
"Our country Is q blackened waste. our
homes have been burned. our wives and
children are being ravished and murdered.
We are flesh and blood. Do you think we
can forgive this?" he asks.
1.-THE Beers are taught to fear God and to
love their homes, their families and their
country. Do you suppose our counsxymen
who have been banished to Holland, Csylon
and st. Helena will go back to South Afri-
ca and say to the men who have done this.
'Englismen. you are our brothers7
Never! Oaths Of vengeance have been
taken and will be taken. which can only
be wiped out by the blood Of our oppressors
and the absolute freedom Of our country.
England must grant US this independence

SAM LEES DEVELOPMENT.

1t should not be difficult to believe In
the enlightening influence Of Occidental
civilization on the Oriental mind when
one reads the story Of Sam Lee, the
Chinese laundryman-poet Of Plymouth,
Pa, as now being duly recorded in the
daily news reports.
This IL not necessarily because Sam
Lee has incontinently jumped his rent
bill, although that performance may be
classed without unfairness as anything
but unusual in civilized communities.
The plainest proof of Sans upliftment
is found in the fact TINT, in jumping his
rent-bill, he tried to comfort his land
lord by sending him an original poem
setting forth the explanatory fact that
he was dead-broke.
