IoIlrinr the Farmer.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says
that the protective ta.,ff has been used
to Jolly" the farmer. That is exact
ly where the Courier-J ournal Is right
If the farmers Of this country have ever
had occasion TO feel jolly. 1t is now
when, under Dingley law protection
money has come rolling In to pay of
mortgages, to buy new equipment, in,
Guiding the latest and most improved
brands OF agricultural machinery and
to roll up the acct snt at the savings
bank Yes, the farmers of the country
as general thing. feel pretty jolly just
now, and IL is the protective tarifi
which Is responsible for 1t. There Is
no doubt about that. And the best of
i is that the farmers are not the only
people who are feeling jolly, but the
jolly effects of protection prosperity
have been felt by people in all walks
Of lif,, everywhere throughout the coun.
try. As producer o. .iollity the pro
tect.ye tariff has few. If any, equals
and we are glad to see that the Louis
vile Courler-Journal is at last begin
ming TO recognize the fact.

While we are not In favor Of tariff
that protects trusts and builds up mo
nopolies we believe that the interests
of the country and specially the South
ern States require some protection from
the sugar planter of Cuba and his
cheaper labor. The efforts OF the
Northern States to produce beets foI
sugar have not been successful, but the
cane producing regions OF the South
offer splendid opportunities for those
seeking profitable Investment, proyld
ing an opportunity is given the plantar.
But II Il reciprocal tariff agreement Il
made with Cuba the Southern States
will be greatly crippled and only the
sugar trusts will be the gamer, for
while the reduction in price will de
stroy the sugar cane business of the
South, the duty taken off will not &c
into the peoples pockets but to the

CRATER or GOLD is FOUND.
Strike at Cripple Creek said to be
Richest in the World.

Richest in the World.
The greatest strike Of gold in the his
tory of Cripple Greek camp and proba-
bly, in the world was made in Elkton
mine Tuesday. Drifting at the 700-foot
level, 100 feet from the main shaft, min
ers struck what seems to be the dome CT
a great crater, the fabulous extent and
richness of which is beyond belief.
Five feet wide of forine tale has been
opened and neither wall has been found.
This fairly glistens with sylvanite and
rich quartz. The vein radiates from a
larg chimney in which is lake, the
bottom of which is unfathomable. The
dome is thirty feet in diameter. The
roof and sides show that the natter has
been burned all the way from Il yellow TO
a deep blach.
The deeomposed matter, when brought
to the surface. showed a blue color. It
is in the nature of dough, sparkling with
graius of precious metals like sand in
mortar. There are hundreds of tons now
in sight and when it is opened out more
there will be thousands.

Nousense.
In December, 1898, the President of
The United States anJ.the Governor of
Alabama were received and entertain
ed at Tuskegee Institute by Booker I.
Washington. Nevertheless, the act Of
the new President of the United States,
in receiving and entertaining Booker
I. Washington at the White House q
few days ago, Is being described by
many Southern newspapers as ian out
rage" and "a declaration Of war" In
the view of the Southern newspapers,
the President of the United States may
dine with a colored man at colored
mans home and not depart from the
strictest lines of propriety; but If he
invites the most distinguished colored
man in the country to dine with him at
the White House he is guilty of an
Outrage" III other words the Presi-
dent of the United States may accept
the hospitality of colored man, but he
may not return it.
This is absurd. The President re-
ceived, consulted aud entertained
Booker I. Washington in his character
as President of all the people There
was no protest when Mr. Washington
advised the President TO adopt a new
policy as to new appointments of white
men in the South. There was no pro-
test when such appointments of white
men Were made in accordance with his
advice. The line was drawn onl. when
the President invited Mr. Wash. ION
| to dine with him.

| Of the Civil War. We are living mt a
time when 1t is the duty of the Presi'
dent of the United States to receive

BUILDING NEW BRIDGE.
Rock Island Tearing Away the Old X.
ID. Bridge In Des Moines

Des Moines, April l3.--With pile
driver and large force of bridge car
penters, the Rock Island is placing
the false work under the old Keokuk
& Des Moines river bridge across the
Des Moines river in this city and pre-
pairing to tear away the old bridge to
make way for a new structure of
much greater strength. The old
bridge was capable of handling the
traffic of the Keokuk branch, but ow-
ing to the fact that the company de-
sires to use the main line tracks run
ming into Des Moines exclusively for
passenger traffic, the new bridge Is a
necessity in order to carry the heavy
engines and heavy cars that will be
diverted to it from the main line. The
X. ID. and Rock Island tracks proper
parallel each other from Altoona into
Des Moines, and the change OF through
freight to the K. d. track and the K.
ID. passenger trains to the main line
can easily be made at Altoona. In
order to accommodate the freight
business here there will have to be
made some extensive improvements
in the K. ID. yards and heavy rail
connection made with the tracks lead
ing to Valley Junction.

The Eminent Kidney

There is disease prevailing in this

vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.

ercise ones self in labor and earn
his bread according to Gods plan,
but to avoid all that and indulge
freely in athletics, or, as more re-
fined people would call it, physical
culture. So our great papers are
full of football and athletics and from
pulpit and rostrum we hear high
sounding pens of the champions of
the sport. We are taxed thousands
of dollars every year to support our
agricultural colleges, yet we never
hear of anyone excelling in digging
potatoes or husking corn, but they
produce mighty men'of valor in foot
ball and pole vaulting. Even the Y.
M. @. A. are trying hard to mix ath-
letics and Christianity into some
kind of compound for the healing
of the nations. A few years ago a
man came all the way from England
to show the students of Penn College
the close relation that exists be-
tween religion and cricket, grass
hopper, or some other game the wri-
ter does not understand. do not
want the reader to think that l am
such an old fogy as to be opposed to
the gymnasium or college athletics.
1 am only opposed to giving it too
exalted place and making the boys
believe that because they can Jump
far or kick high they are all round
men mentally and physically.
The Bible is the great standard
work on athletics. When God said
by the sweat of thy face shalt thou
eat Bread" he meant it for mans
highest good, and when he said that
the earth should bring forth thorps
and thistles, it was that man should
have exercise enough to keep him
healthy. The difference between BIZ
BILE athletics and modern athletics is
that while the former ran in the line
of work and the benefit of mankind
the latter goes in the line of sport
and the avoidance of useful labor.
In the very beginning we read of
mighty hunters and mighty men of
valor and wonderful workmen in
brass and iron. King David was an
athlete. When boy he had slain a
lion and bear, and for this reason
he was chosen to fight the great
giant of Gath. And how beautifully
does the psalmist sing of the victor
les of the Bible athlete:
"For by Thee have 1 run through
troop:
By my God have leaped over a wall.
He maketh my feet like kinds feet
and setreth me upon high places.
He teacheth my hands to war so that
bow of steel is broken by mine
arms"
David also had thirty-seven mighty
athletes in his army. One of them
Lifted up his spear against eight
hundred whom he slew at one time"
Another lifted up his spear against
three hundred and slew them. An
other slew two lions like men of
Moab; he went down also and slew
lion in the midst of pit in time of
snow. These are some of the great
athletes of the Bible, men who ac-
complished something for the good
of the world.
What a contrast between this ex-
cellent song of David and the dole.
full refrain of football boy after he
is vanquished.
"Why art thou cast down, Oh my
soul, and why art thou disquieted
within me?"
81 am as one Knocked oil bis neigh
bors; mine enemies roar in the midst
of their congregations, they set up
their ensigns for signs"
