There is lesson of value to every

region in the recent experience of a
South Dakota farmer who made a
practical test and ascertained that
his wheat was worth to him Gilt
as feed for hogs, while upon the
open market it would scarcely have
brought 80 cents per bushel. The
farmer selected ten hogs that were
good and healthy, weighed the and
fed them carefully on ground wheat
soaked before feeding, and kept this
up for six week. The ten head ate
forty three BUSHES of wheat aud
gained $50 pounds. This would be

The offer of the Filipino general
who. has offered to give $500, 900 to
any American army Officer who will
marry his daughter sounds alluring.
Still the offer should be accompanied
by reliable photograph and a GER
ti6cate of moral character. AS for
the Filipino generalwe must regard
his efforts only as a laudable desire
to weld more closely the union of the
United States and the Philippines,
and if a few more Filipino million
aires will follow his example we
shall speedily get back the millions
we gave to Spain for peaceable
possession of the islands. Selling
wives in Europe is by no
means an uncomon experience, but
this is the first step in the direction
Of selling American husbands, and
we welcome it as a pleasing and
profitable depression. Let us trust
that the purchasing power is beaut-
iful, virtuous, amiable. and domestic.

that although when a boy he roamed
the billy region Of New Jersey and
became acquainted with the habits
of all the wild animals in that
section, he never saw all opossum
in Jersey, and never heard Of one
"within one hundred miles. despite
this, he is aware Of the fact that at
the present time the northern
countries of New Jersey: and Orange
county, New York, are suffering
from a plague of opossums. The
animals rob hen roosts, break up the
nests of setting turkeys,and commit
various other depredations. The
writer from Middletown AYERS that
he recently saw fine opossum
carried by the tail from a Chester,
New York, henhouse, where it had
been regaling istself upon high
priced ''freshlaid eggs" He says
his opossum invasion began few
years ago..
The relation between the statistics
as to the migration of the colorded
population and the migration of the
opossum is something for ethnolog
ical and geological students to
grapple The opossum is generally
supposed to be trying to get away
from the negro, and it is not likely
to pack it's baggage and migrate lin
his compay. Perhaps the animals
have made the discovery that the
taste for ''fatposssum is still to be
cultivated in the North, and that
therefore this section may afford
for a time an asylum to which they

such officers and seamen arc merged
in the national injury; and they can
look only to their own government
for such remuneration az it may
choose to give them.
"A seaman injured by the explos-
Jon which destroyed the battle ship
Maine in the harbor of Havana, Cuba,
on Feb. Is 1898, had no individual
claim against Spain even if that gov
eminent was responsible to the
United States for the explosion, and
therefore such seaman is not en-

DIN organized to adjudicate all ind'

States against Spain which the
United States released to Spain and
agreed to pay by the treaty OF peace

Omaha Bee: Manifestly, the re-
publicans ought to soon reach. a
decision of this the Cuban Question.
Three fruitless conferences have
been held and to continue this sort
of thing will certainly not do the
party any good. The advice of
Speaker Henderson that there should
be the fullest discussion before action
is taken, is good advice, but it would
seem that not much more is to be
said on the question and that it's
determination need not be much
longer delayed. 1t may be admitted
that it is somewhat pe1plexing
question, but after all it is very
practical one. It is to be hoped that
the next conference of the house
republicans, to be held next (this)
week will be able to come to a de-
cision as to the policy to be adopted
and that there will be no further
needless delay in disposing Of the
matter. The country is anxious to
have the question: settled.

The Kaiser of Germany was evil
IDENTIFY 50 much pleased that his
brother, Prince Henery, has been
made doctor of laws by the world
renowned Harvard University, that
he cabled his congratulations, stat
ing that no higher honor could be
conferred on his brother by any
corporate body in the United States.
Inasmuch as Henry is merely an ad-
miral in the German navy. and an
experienced sailor the congratulate
ions are pertinent, and the Kaiser
thinks that the United States may
obtain additional culture and refine
ment through the appointment Of
Prince who is thoroughly convers-
ant with the literature Of Germany.
In csnferring the degree President
Eliot intimated that the principal
merit of Prince Henry was the good
fortune that he happened to be the
gran dson of that illustrious woman
who did so much to preserve peace
betw cen England and the United
States during the most critical period
of the war for the preservation of
the Union.
