Was Clemens a Prophet?

jeremiah Clemens, United
States senator representing the state
of Alabama in ante-bellum days,
said, ssCommlt our people once to
unnecessary foreign wars, let
victory encourage the military
spirit already too prevalent among
them, and Roman history will have
no chapter bloody enough to he
transmitted to poserity side by side
with ours. In brief period we
shall have re-enacted on grander
scale the same scenes that marked
her decline. The veteran soldier
who has followed victorious leader
from cline to cline will forget his
love of country in his love for his
commander; and the bayonet you
sent abroad to conquer kingdom
will be brought back to destroy the
rights of the citizen and prop the
throne of an emperor"

The shameful Schley7Sampson
wrangle has been revived, and the
American public has again had
evidence of the disgraceful cabal
existing in navy circles directed
against Admiral Schley. This time
the matter crops out Of the adoption
at the Naval Academy of a history
Of the naval engagements in the
late war, in which Admiral Schley
is denounced in the most intem
perate manner. 1t appears that
the book. and the menda cious
statements relative to Admiral
Schley, received the official
sanction of the naval officers who
compose the cabal and was used as
q text book in the Naval Academy.
The historian is government
employee who undoubtedly made
bid for promotlon through
the influence OF the officials who
have directed the conspiracy and
who seem bent to continue the
fight against Schley in spite of the
protest Of the American people.

Mr.. Schurman's Lament.

Mr.. Schurman'S Lament.
The Commoner.
Mr. Schnrman, President of Cor
nell college, claims that during our
history as a nation covering a cen
fury and a quarter we have pro-
duced no one to rank with Shak-
speare anil Goethe. This much
was said by way of mild criticism
of the accomplishments Of this ma
ton. This point is worthy of care
full examination. 1t may be ad-
mitted that we have produced no
poets that may rank with Shakespeare
and Goethe, but it must be some
consolation at least to Mr.. Schur
man that England has produced no
other to rank with Shakespeare and
that Germany has produced no
other to rank with Goethe.
England NAV boast of it's Shak-
speare and Germany may boast Of
it's Goethe, both enjoying that full
ness of fame that comes to things
and men, me-honored as we'll as
deservin. on their merits, but the
United States during its century and
a quarter is to be credited with a
large number of poets whose writ
ings will be read so long as time
shall last, and whose standing will,
like wine. improve with age. There
are BRYANT. Longfellow, Whittier,
Poe, Lowell, Holmes, and many
others, whose splendid verses have
endeared the memory of their
authors to- men and women who
love real poetry.
Mr. Schurman should also find
consolation in the reflection that
the people OF the United States
have no cause to be ashamed of
is a vast amount of useless stuff
written and holding a place as liter
ature in this country, but it is true
that the orators and the authors Of
America have had much to do with
inspiring their fellows toward the
erection and maintenance Of a ma
ton dedicated under God to liberty.
While it is true we have no Shak-
speare and no Goethe, it is likewise
true that our history is filled with
the writings and the utterances OF
men and women who have contri-
buted to the sum of human happi-
ness more than the contributions OF
thousand Shakspeares and Goethes
| would have done.
Our poets have been poets of the
people. Our orators have been
champions of liberty. Our writers
of fiction and our writers of fact
who have taken recognized posi-
tons have done so because thell
work has aided in the up-buildine
of a peoples nation and contributed
to the general welfare.

1t seems as if the grandfather
clause of tie State Constitution has
not finally settled the question Of
negro suffrage in Louisiana. The
suffrage laws of our state are the
result of the pa1nstaking work of
some of the States best Constitu-
tional LAWYERS. They seemed such
happy solution of the vexed
question that other Southern States
had adopted them IN their "rganlc
laws, and the people of the South
had come to believe tina, the mat
ter had as last been solved. But
the recent action of the negroes in
resorting to the Intervention Of the
courts to obtain their alleged con-
stitutional rights shows their
dissatisfaction.
The negro has never been more
contented and happy since the war
than he now is. He should know
that it is vain for him to try to rule
the white man politically. The
position in which he is placed by
laws which practically disfranchise
him is one in which he will most
prosper and remain at peace with
the white man. He knows full we'll
that social equality will never be
accorded him, and his present at
tempt to regain the political influ-
ence which he once possessed will
again arouse the bitter racial an
tagonism which in past years did
SO much to put him in constant
dread and danger. Even if the
Supreme Court of the United States
were to pronounce our suffrage
laws unconstitutional,w white suprem
acy is we'll settled fact, and the
negro need never hope to vote here.
1t will only lead to more trouble,
and he will be the one to suffer.

A Plea for Orchard Grass.

Can anyone tell why orchard grass,
one of the most common as well as one
of the most valuable forage plants in
the United States, is not better known
and more appreciated? Many farm
er does not even recognize it at sight,
though he has had chances to observe
it all his life. A veritable gypsy, it
has found a home in every country of
Europe and America, in Northern At
RIGA and in Asia. Cheerfully adapting
itself to all soils and conditions, it
or shade, and in a porous subsoil will
send its roots to a great depth.
This perhaps accounts for its per-
sistence. When once it has secured
foothold it may be relied upon to yield
an abundance Of forage year after year
with no attention except that it thrives
best under cropping. In the spring it
is fit for pasturage considerably earlier
than other grasses and five days
growth will give good bite. It's bios
soming season is the same as that of
red clover, and they are frequently
sown together by farmers who have
learned the value of the combination.
A Kentucky stock grower who relies
upon it for his pastures once said rela-
tive to its capacity for sustaining it
self when other grasses are dried up:
1T will make more growth in one
summer day than blue grass will make
in a week." Such a commentator
from the land of the famous blue grass
pastures is surely great tribute to it's
good qualities.
A farmer in Northern Ohio has writ
ten enthusiastically Of piece Of orch
ard grass on his own farm which seed
ed itself twenty-six years ago and
which has been cut annually every
June since. This season 1t stood
higher than any rye in the vicinity
and was so heavy that it lodged. For
early soiling and long pasturage he
considers it superior to any other
grass, but he utters a caution about
cutting it as soon as matured, for if
allowed to get dead ripe it is of little
account.
Like other drought resisting grasses
it shows a disposition to grow in tus-
socks, but this may be prevented by
thorough preparation of the ground be-
fore sowing and an abundance of seed
uniformly distributed. Two bushels
of seed to the acre are usually consid-
cred sufficient, or half that amount
when sown with clover. 1t is said to
be much less exhausting to the soil
than timothy, which is so often grown
with clover. 1t was introduced into
England from Virginia in 1854 and is
there so highly esteemed that it has
taken rank as one of the most valua-
BILE forage plants produced in the
tight little island" The luXuriance of
its aftermath makes it especially fine
for pastures, and stock of all kinds
relish it, Sheep, it is said, will leave
all other grasses to feed upon it.

description of the Disease and Remed,

Description of the Disease and "a Remedy
for 1t.
r. A. Craig, assistant state veteri-
harlan at the Purdue University agri-
cultural experiment station, in a bulle-
lin on infectious Ophthalmia in Cat
lie says: This disease is infectious,
and when started in a herd is likely
tore running its course. 1t OCCASION
ally affects sheep, but rarely horses.
II has been attributed to a variety of
causes as the pollen from some plants,
and to dust. The disease does usually
occur at a season of the year when
both pollination and dust are at their
most irritating stage, but we are in
clined to believe that these are only
secondary causes. The germs that
have been found are pus producers.
This station regards the disease as one
produced by special organism. The
disease is not new, having made it's
appearance in this state ten years ago.
and remained ever since.
The symptoms are local and general.
The body temperature is raised the
appetite interfered with, and rumina-
ton checked. In the mild cases these
symptoms are not marked. When first
affected one or both eyes are held
nearly closed, the lids swell, the
tears pour over the face. A whitish
film forms over the eyes which may
become dense The cornea may bulge
forward owing to the pressure of the
abcesses from within. Yellow spots
from the size of pin head to that of
a grain of corn form and from the
margin will radiate with reddish lines.
These are assesses and when they
heal whitish scars will take their
places. One eye may be attacked and
then the other. The course will last
from three to six weeks, but it rarely
happens that there is complete blind
ness in both eyes.
The treatment is comparatively sim
pie. Keep the badly effected cattle in
the shade of a woods. or in the barn
if necessary, during the middle of the
day, to prevent aggravation. Locally
apply equal parts of finely powdered
boracic acid and calomel, by means OF
a small insect powder blower. This
can be done quickly with little re-
straint and is preferable to an eye
wash for the cow.--Indianapolis
