When q piece of marshy land has
been drained il is often found that
crops fail to thrive, although it seems
to be very rich in nitrogen. The rem
edy is to add barnyard manure. The
semiaquatic vegetation which for
merry occupied the land decays so
slowly that cultivated crops cannot
get nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added it
sets up fermentation which con.

FEEDING A SKELETON.
An Old scotch Story fren which
Scores Of kuse rican Farmers Can
Draw q Lesson,

A story is told of Scotch physician
ticient nerve to assist him when diff
cult surgical operations were on hand.
The doctor, by the way, was a VEN
triloquist, and he hit upon the follow
ing plan to enable him to secure the
boy he was looking for: Each candi-
date was set to work to feed cruel to
a skeleton which stood in an adjacent
room. No sooner had the boy got to
work than the doctor would call out
in sepulchral tones: More, give me
more" The voice sounded to the boy
as though it came from the skeleton.
A number of those first tried. as soon
as they heard the sepulchrd tones,
dropped the bowl Of cruel and ran.
AT length boy was found who con-
tinued TO feed the cruel, notwi,hstand-
ing the repeated cries of the skeleton
for more. When the cruel was all fed
he struck The skeleton on the side of
the head with the spoon, saying as he
did so: MY, Bony, but you are hard
to satisfy" This boy got the posi-
ton.
We laugh at the idea of feeding
skeleton, but are not some persons
engaged in just about as profitable a
business? They feed live stock all the
winter, that is to say. Young aud
growing stock The animals go out
in the spring just about as they went

STARTS CLUB FOR YOUNG MEN
Mrs. F. w. Vanderbilt Seeks to Coun-

Home at Hyde Park.

Mrs. F. w. Vanderbilt, whose summer
home is at Hyde Park, Dutchess coun-
ty, has from time to time provided
amusement of various kinds for the vii
lage people, of whom there are in Hyde
Park about 1900. Her latest con-
tribution to the happiness of the
village is a club-room to which
the young men will be invited to
go evenings instead of to the sa-
looms and other places. Mrs. Wander
bilt has just rented medium-sized hall
formerly used as photograph gallery,
and is having it fitted up as a clubroom.
where there will be billiard and pool
table, checkers and cards. Mrs. Van
derbilt will not make the club entirely
free. as she believes that a small fee is
a good thing. The members of the club
will be asked to pay five cents week,
the money to be used in paying the jan
itor, but more to give the members
personal interest in the club.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

If as many thousand Filipinos

tions.-Kansas City Times.
1t is said that the democrats have
the power to talk the subsidy bill to
death. 1t would be good party politics
for them to do it, for both sides are
clearly on record, and no good would
come of entailing upon the country the
effects of so pernicious a measure
indianapolis News Qnd).
Mr.. Mckinley is said to desire i'd
ditional authority to deal with the
Philippines. Since he has already gone
beyond the limits of the constitution in
dealing with these people, we fail to
understand why he wants congress to
give him any more authority. Once
outside the constitution, there is moth
ing to check m.-Chattanooga News.
The troubles gathering about
Mark Hanna and his subsidy bill are
increasing with the process of the

has been elected will be against the

in the senate this session in the place of
those removed by death or to fill va.
capcies are not in favor of Hanna'a

NATION TO OWN ALL WIRES.
Canadian Government Will Urge Pur.
chase to British ParIia-
ment.

The dominion government will pro-
pose to parliament on an early date the
purchase of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way telegraph lines, also the lines of
the Great Northwestern Telegraph
company, and operate the whole as
part of the post office work just as is
done in Britain. The purchase money
is calculated to reach $25, 100000 or
over, but as the two concerns duplicate
in almost all centers of the dominion
the government can count on reducing
working expenses by almost one-half.
The legislation will provide for one of
the chief officers of the British govern
ment service acting as arbitrator in
case of differences as to prices Under
any circumstances the shareholders
will be amply protected. The chief in
ducement for the proposal is to secure
in British and colonial governments

will be greatly favored in Britain.

GROSS DECEPTION.
Truth Regarding the True state Of
Affairs in the Philippines
Now Coming Out,

One cannot help wondering whether
we are to have great popular reaction
In this country on the Philippine issue.
After long delay, the truth concern
ing the condition Of affairs in the Phil
ippine archipelago is gradually COM
ing to the knowledge of the American
people; and, to the surprise of a large
number, they find this truth to be wide
ly at variance with the statements
made by those who have been officially
responsible for our Philippine policy.
In view of this now ascertained con-
dition, what confidence. we ask again,
can the American people place in the
utterances of those who have sought,
in an apparently willful manner, to
thus deceive them?
How far can human creduiity go?
How much better are we than the be-
nighted people of Spain, who few
years ago were kept lulled in a state of
blind contentment by the official re-
ports which the government at Madrid
had given out of the battles that had
been fought with the Cuban guerrillas,
and the immense victories that the
Spanish troops had won? At that time
those Americans who commented upon
the subject could not find words strong
enough to describe the Grass stupidity
of the Spanish people who could be
thus deceived and misled by their gov
ernment. But it may be pertinent to
ask, in what respect the condition of
the American people has differed DUR
ing the last two years, in reference to
the subject we have referred to, from
the condition of the Spanish people
four or five years ago respecting the
Cuban insurrection? An autocratio
government may feel that it is justified
in keeping its people in ignorance; but
in what way is it possible to have gov
ernment of the people, by the people
and for the people carried on while
they are grossly deceived concerning
important public matters, it is beyond
our imagination to understandable

MOST people think that catarrh is a

Iva Nothing is farther from the truth. Ii
may be that the nose and throat is the oft

SO only because these parts are more ex

the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity OF

IMPERIALISM HERE NOW.
Rule by Military Force Is Already
a Fact in This Gree
Country,

Senator Teller is right in saying
that Imperialism is not fear, but a
realization; not thing to be warded
off, but thing to be abandoned.
In his recent speech in the senate
he administered well-deserved re-
buke to those who prate about par
tial liberty and conditional self-gov-
ernment. He said:
'I have not agreed with everybody who
has been in fear of imperialism. l said two
years ago last month in the senate that
there would not be any imperialism there,
for the American people would not allow it.
Since then I have seen in those islands an
imperial government that has had no equal
on the face of the earth, an imperial gOT-
ernment that has not counterpart any,
where under the heavens, an imperial gov@
ernment with five men, and five men only,
strangers to the language, strangers to the
country, unacquainted with the interests
of the people, sitting there and administer
ing government, taking the money of tho
people and appropriating it without their
consent ignoring the people entirely.
"Mr. President, the cZar of Russia Is an
absolute czar. He has a council of 60 men
who sit with him and consider public af.
fairs, but the go men are Russians. They
are people of that country. They have
their sympathies and their ambitions for
Russia.
"These men in the Philippine islands are
strangers. Under the military law they
have a right there undoubtedly, but under
Gods law, which is higher than that, they
have no place there at all.
"And so l take back what I said two years
ago. Imperialism has come; it is there in
it's worst form, and what 1 want to know,
like the senator from Maryland (Mr. We'll
lington), is, what are you going to do now?
Are you going to keep up this imperialistic
government? Are you going to continue to
govern 100000 people contrary to their
wish, without a voice, without being heard,
when your chief actor over there Gen.
Macarthur, tells you that the people ara
a unit against this administration, when
every Filipino in Europe to-day, and there
are thousands of them, is against our gov
ernment over there?"
