Jamaica, 1886 FL. ii. B., was dropped
In Friesland in 1880 and imported the,
same year to Orange county, n. Y. She
had her first calf in December. 1882,
and during the milking period of 300
days gave 1850 pounds of milk. Her
second calf was dropped in December,
1888, and when one month in milk she
had exceeded all known records for
her age, and this upon the ordinary
ration for mixers in the herd. Her
feed was then carefully increased I'M
til she gave seventy-three pounds of
milk a day in January, 1884, and a
total amount of 2,026 pounds during
that month. The milk yield continued
to increase during February, notwith-

Of the question to make this beverage

nearly 10000 geographical miles. with

mated that the total loss suffered by

They are anxious to aid the south in solving the problem Of how best to bring the negro to a proper conception of his duties as a citizen. The progres- sive element in the south is anima ted by the same spirit. Hence among patriotic people north and south. Booker Washington's efforts to teach the negro that there is greater duty confronting him than to cast a ballot have the warmest support.

A net increase of over So. 300. 600 in the money in circulation was recorded fo- the month of January. The total on February was $2,259,95l.709. which represents an increase of over S69, ,00O.- 0G0 as compared with the correspond ing date a year ago. Increases are noted in every kind of money except standard silver dollars and treasury notes Of 1890. in the former of which there was a decrease Of a little over s1,0oo,0co. and in the latter one of over S2o,cco, ,00c. The circulation per capita on the basis of population calculated by the treasury experts at 7s.5500oo. is siven as SzS.77. This represents an in crease of 39 cents as compared with the corresponding date Of last year. The circulation. therefore seems to be ex- banding at a rate slightly in excess Of that shown by the population.

In a recent interview given by J. Pierpont Morgan to a representative of one of the leading metropolitan news papers concerning the general outlook for business in the country and, hence the prospects for railways and indus trials, Mr. Morgan said. in concluding his comments: Not only is prosperity here, but all the signs. all the promises, all the indications are that it is here for a long time to come. have abso- lute faith in the future" There are two things that one may feel assured of in reading this statement from MT. Morgan: the one is it's entire sin cerity; tine other. that it i5 made by q man who is in position to znow ..-ore accurately the conditions prevailing in the financial commercial. industrial and railroad world than any other man who could be named in the coun- try. It is possible that another man might be found who could give more technical information about industrial matters, or, it might be about commer- ciaI matters, but it would probably be considered, generally speaking, that Mir.

Another life-perhaps more than one-seems to have been sacrificed to theory which it would be nattery to call scientific. A physician in town near Boston deliberately exposed himself to smallro=. He insisted that no healthy person could take the dis case by contagion. and he refused 10 be vaccinated before he entered the hospital Ten days afterwards he was taken ill. and it is now said that his life is in Ganger. There are othe- physicians, or course. some very erni- nent ones. who think that the con tagion may be escaped without vacci- nation; and it is undoubtedly true that cleanliness is one of the best safeguards. The severe epidemics arise in the slums, and the victims are those who do not obzerve proper sanitary precautions. But such an e. pertinent as that which threatens to be fatal to the Bedford physician is none the less foolhardy.

The officers of the finance committee appointed by the statehood convention have issued an appeal for funds and general support for the statehood movement. The address appears else where in this issue. Success is not cer- tain of course-if it were, there would be no need for an organized fight. But much good and effective work has been done. and the prospects are decidedly better than they have been at any time in the past. As The Republican has pointed out all along. if statehood is not achieved at this session it will be largely due to the failure of the terri tories to put forth the proper effort. Too much has been taken for granted, and there has been too much of dis position to let a few public spirited men carry the whole burden. Governor Murphy brings the gratifying report that Delegate Smith has labored with inGefatigable energy and great ability in presenting the claims of Arizona, and MT. Smith should be upheld and enc outraged in every possible way. He should have unnistakable evidence that the citizens of the territory are solidly behind him in his campaign for admission.

1t appears that a few misguided citi- zens of the valley are doing their best to defeat the project for a reservoir on the Gila river at San Carlos, their argument with congressman being that water can be supplied to the Indians on the Pima reservation Just as read fly from the Torto reservoir. and that storage on the Salt river would supply abundant water for the Salt River val ley as well as for several thousand In dians on the reservation. The scheme is idiotic in the first place. for division among Arizona people at Washington can only defeat all bills for the benefit of the territory. and in the second place 1t is based on such ignorance as would work inca1cua5le injury to the valley were congress to adopt the plan. At one time It was generally believed that the floods Of the Salt river were suf- areas of land in addition to the exist inS canal systems, but the record of recent years does not sustain the the ory. The Judgment of the community is settled that all efforts should De directed to securing an act from con- gress enabling the county to do some thing for itself and all visionary sclemes, no matter in what good faith they are pressed, are against the inter ests of the valley. The time is at hand for the common sense Of the business and farming community to assert itself in an emphatic manner.

Since the spring of 1898 a burning question has been before the Southern
 Methodist church. IT A Is q question or con CHURCH'S science, anu involves CONSCIENCE. returning to the gov
 ernment the sum Of $zS8, 900. It is true that the matter Is not one that would disturb the cor science Of business men as a rule, but the leaders of the church are inclined to take a strict view of 1t, view whicn seems to prevail generally among the members. It is probable. therefor-. that the money will be returned to the national treasury. The situation is unique.
 The sum mentioned represents an ap- propriation made Ny congress in Is:S to reimburse the church for it's publishing house at Nashville. Tenn, destroyed by federal troops. When finally paid, the claim had been before congress for thirty years. As the profits of the pub fishing house are used by the denoml- nation to support the widows and or phans Of the church, and the aged ministers who are sick of poor, the plea for these helpless charges of the church was the argument which at last brought about the appropriation.
 A question of conscience is involved because. it appears. the senate passed the appropriation bill under a Hisap- prehension. It was supposed by the senators. and so stlts5 on the floor, that no part Of the sum appropriated would go to attorneys or lobbyists. But as 9 matter of fact, a lawyer of Nash vile, q Mir Stallman. was tp receive, and did receive. the sum of S1Cs,00O as his fee for aiding in getting the appro- priation through. Senators claimed that they would not have voted for the bill had they known that the funds in a large measure were to be diverted from the source intended. The church itself is exonerated from any part in misleading the senate in the premises, but the fact is admitted that the sen ate was misinformed. and that the money was voted under q misappre- hension. Therefore. the feeling upon the part of the church is that the money should be returned. It is most remarkable and creditable pSo- posal. The difficulty lies in carrying II out. The church is poor. The money paid the lawyer is gone for good. of course. And the remainder of the funds were quickly expended for the benefit of the church. II will be 9 burdensome matter to raise the money.
 Whether or not the Southern Meth odist church will be financially able to return the money mistakenly granted by the government. the fact will remain that the manifest anxiety of the mem bership to make the return is an cvi- dence of practical Christianity.

KITCHENER's QUEER BLUNDER.

A story that illustrates the danger of making over hasty judgments of men is told in the latest number of the pop ular English military weekly the Navy and Army Illustrated. It may or may not be strictly true, but at any rate it is amusing.
 It seems that Lord Kitchener. about a year ago. made trip along the rail road between JohannesDurg ana Bloem- fortein. fitting out extemporary col umns of mounted infantry to chase away the enemies who were threaten ing his communications. At one of the stations. Vredefort Road. he found some waifs and strays from various regiments. who seemed to have nothing particular to do; and as this was q state of things of which he strongly disapproved. he decided to send them into the field at once. Going to the waiting room 70 look for officers, he found there only one mana smart. well dressed individual. who found inn mediate favor in the eyes of the com mander in chief.
 You will command a corps of mounted infantry I've just formed" said Lord Kitchener. who is of all things q man of quick judgment and prompt action.
 Very good, sir; what will my duties be-"
 Don't you know your dutics?"
 "Yos. sir-my own"
 Then don't argue What is your regiment?''
 "Blankshires. sir"
