What Morrill, Missed.

In speech delivered in the United
States senate April7, 1871, the, late
Senator Morrill, of Vermont said: 1--WE
desire to retain the prestige Of teach

govern themselves, rather than to I'M
peril our own existence by attempting
to govern the incapables, whether
near or remote upon fat soils or lean.
We cannot confer freedom upon any
foreign people-ffeedom is the reward
of merit, and not subject of com
merce or charity'''

President Taft of the Philippine
commission explains that the reason
all the editors in Manila are in Jail is
because they have made sweeping
charges of graft" ard corruption
against the civil government, thereby
''impairing the confidence the natives
have reposed in it. The locking-up
process serves double purpose, he
might have added, for while itassures
the natives against loss Of confidence,
it guarantees graf tiers immunity from

BUYING OR RENTING.
Many Excellent Reasons for Think-
ing the Former the Better
. Policy for Our farmers.

II doesn't make any difference,
whether man has small means or
can pay cash. the best policy 10 70
buy. Every farmer 10 ambitious. He
wants to own farm-to have some
place to call home, even II It is only
40 acres. The expenses are about
equal, buying or renting. The rent
amounts to as much, and often more,
than the taxes, interest and repairs.
The renter has more money to put
into stock, but his possessions must
accommodate themselves to the farm
he rents, and this is often incon-
venient. Or he must build extra
fence, which is expensive, as the fence
Is useless when he moves elsewhere.
Usually the renter exchanges crops and
stock for money every time he moves,
which is every year or two. OF course,
he puts the money in the bank, and is
going to save it until he can pay cash
for farm. During the year he sees
something that he is very anxious to
own, and as the money is easy to get,
it goes. OF course he is going to have
better crop this year, and will make
more on his hops, and can easily re.
place the money, and, more, too. 1t is
just as easy to use it all as 1t is to
use a little, and before the end Of
the year it is all gone.
The buyer cannot do this. When he
sells crop, OF bunch of hogs, and
pays the money on farm, it is
there to stay. He must deny himself
many things, but he who satisfies
every want will not have his labors
crowned with success. Unceasing toll
IS the parent Of success. 1t only takes
about half of the year to raise the.
crop. During the other half the rent
ar does not do enough to pay his ex-
penses. He makes as much as any
farmer while he works, but the buyer
works while the renter as idle. The
weeds need cutting, the fences need
fixing, the fertilizers need scattering,
the bitches need repairing, and many
other things need to be done, 50 that
the buyer is busy the entire year. Per-
haps he hasless amusement, butamuss-
ment Is expensive.
A farm shoald have q good orchard
and garden of shrubbery. Neither
trees nor Shrubs are costly, but the
renter does not put out new Opss, noF
take sars OF those already on the farm,
The renter leads an aimless, unsettled
life. He has no definite end in view,
and works in q haphazard, hit or miss
fashion, and 1t usually turns out miss.
The buyer knows just what he must
do, and makes each day bring him
nearer the goal OF his ambition. Half
OF the secret of success lies in having
definite aim and the other in unceas-
ing toil.-G. !. tombstone, in N. Y. Trib-
une.

Every national problem that has
arisen since the last presidential cleo

No use to hunt tigers with
bird-shot. 1t doesn't hurt the
tiger any and it's awfully risky
for you.
Consumption is a tiger
among diseases. It isstealthy
but once started it rapidly
eats up the flesh and destroys
the life. No use to go hunting
it with ordinary food and med
icine. That's. Only bird-shot.
It still advances. Good heavy

disease feels that.

There is no question as to the
folly of maintaining an unnecessary
tariff on certain foreign products, in
competition with which American
manufacturers are underselling all
others In foreign markets. The "pro-

the American consumer. If retalia-

It seems hard to understand why it
never occurs to many shepherds to
trim the feet of the home flock. But
more than this, some even enter the
show ring with the two divisions OF
the foot curled and the outer one
usually turned up as If it were search-

Such a sheep can hardly walk, and

During the summer, especially il pas

feet may not need attention, but be-
fore the flock goes into winter quar-
ters, and again at shearing time the
feet want looking after, says the
Homestead. Usually thorough trim.
ming at shearing time is sufficient,
but the fockmaster, by watching,
should know how often, and when
he should attend to the feet of his
own flock. Varieties differ a great
deal; usually the fine wooded sorts
grow horn much more rapidly than
the others. II the foot is not attend

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July There was very lit
tie done in the stock market today in
the way of buying and selling Most of
the professional traders took the precau-
ton to close up their commitments last
Thursday afternoon, in view of the pos
sibility of unexpected developments over
The three days holiday, and there was
not much inclination apparent today to
make new ventures. The crop develop
ments were favorable. The sun and
warmer weather were regarded as good
for harvesting in the Southwest and the
renewed rains yesterday were ignored.
The weekly statistics of railroad traffic
were also promising for a continuance of
large earnings. The movement of mis-
cellaneous freight westward is reported
TO be maintained on an unprecedented
scale and rates to be firmly held. The
so-called local traffic, too, which is so
important a factor in the aggregate in
the prosperity of railroads, is reported
as unusually large and varied The crop
