Lincoln at Gettysburg.

The following is sni1 to he
the best short speech in the
English tongue:
"Fourscore and seven years
ago our fathers brought |
forth upon this continent a
new nation, conceived in lib
erty, and dedi"ated to the
proposition that all men are
created equal. Now we are
engaged in Il great ciyil war,
testing whether that nation,
or any nation so conceived,
and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on a
great battle field OF hat war.
We have come to deairate a
portion OF that field as q fl
nal resting place for those
who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. 1t is
altogether fitting ami proper
that we shOnld DO this. But
in a large sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot cCnsa-
era te, We cannot 'hallow this
ground. The brave men, liv
ing and dead, who struggled
here, have conseorated it far
above our power to aid or de
tract. The world will little
note, nor long remember,
what We say here; but it can
never forget what they did
here. 1t is for US. the living,
rather to be dedicated here
to the unfinished work which
they who fought here h a v e
thus far So 'nobly advanced
1t il rather for US to be here
dedicated to the task remain
ing before us, that from these
honored dead we ia ke increa s
ed devotion to that cause ful
which they gave the last full
measure OF devotion; that we
here highly resolve that those
dea ! shall not have died in
vain, that this nation, under
God, shall have a new brit
Of freedom, and that govern
ment OF the people, by the
people, and for the people
shall not perish from t h

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
On the advice of Senator
Honr, who is too astute a
politician not to appreciate
the baneful effect on.his par.
ty oftbe continued suppress
sion OF facts and figures by
the War Department, Secre-
tary Root has made public
the cost Of the Philippine war
up to the first Of May. BY the
most conservatie methods Of
figuring Shich the Secretary
could command, the total
now aggregates $170,326
5S5. These figures, large as
they are. 90 not howeve",
tell the whole story. Mr..
Root, of ct urse, makes no
mention of the $4,000, 900
originally paid to Spain nor
has he any way of figuring
that portion Of the cost in
"urred by the Navy Depart
ment and which is not small.
Last May, however, the Sec
retary CT the Navy threw
some light on the situation
by sending to Congress a
sta tement, the total of which
aggrega ted, in round nun,
bers, 800, ,O00,0 900. it may,
therefore, be safely stated
that the Philippine Islands
have cost this country, mp to
date, $4,000 900, which
would mean, exclusive OF the
purchase price, an annual ex
penditure Of $50 .000,0 900. So
stupendous are these figures
that they convey but little
to the mind of the average
man. but when it IS calcula-
ted that the islands have cost
every man, woman and child
in the United States SO, or,
to the bread winner who has
five months to feed, $15 90,
some conception of The ey'
pense OF being a "woIld pow
er" can be arrived at.
1t is quite a part Of the
irony of fate that the repub
lican party, which INDUCED
in so much gratuitous levity
at the lack of harmony in the
democratic ranks, at the be-
ginning of the Fifty Seventf
Congress, should find itself
at the close OF the first ses
sion OF that Congress more
hopelpssl.y divided than were

which is interesting, if true,
is circulating at tie Capitol.
1t is to the effect that Dele
gate Flynn was approached
by Senator Beveridge, chair
man Of the committee on ter
ritories, with a proposition
to change the name OF Okla
homa to "Beveridge" a n d
that MIR. Films refusal to do
so resulted in the defeat OF
the measure in Mr.. Bever-.
idge's committee.
On Thursday the House
took up the Philippine bill
and IN earnest debate is be-
ing conducted by both sides.
1t now appears that t h g
House will insist upon the
Senate concurring in the a
doption of the measure re-
ported by the House commit
tee on Insular affairs. This
measure grants q certain
form of self government to
the Filipinos and, although
imperiaIistic in its purport,
is a shade bet ter than the
bill passed by the Senate.
The House republicans will
vigorously fight the adop-
ton of the silver standard in
t he islands. According to re-
publican tenets a gold stan
dard is the only proper stan
dard for any nation and the
adoption Of a silver standard
for the Philippines will be an
absolute qualification Of re
publican dogma. The ankle
ty OF the embers to adjourn
will be in favor OF the Senate
conferees but numerous re
publican members have as
sured me that would n O
prove sufficient to induce
them to yield. Only a dead
lock on the bill will prevent

Wasting Fertilizer on oniaD,


Onion growers often use year after
year large quantities of commercial
fertilizer without knowing how profit
and loss would be affected by smaller
applications. Four years tests at the
Geneva u. " station concluded in
1901 prove that 800 pounds of fertili-
zer per acre will ordinarily give large
profits, but that larger applications
than this must be accompanied by ex-
ceptiOnally favorable conditions for
growth and high prices in market for
the product 10 insure propOrtionate re-
turns.
The test fields were in the heart OF
the onion section. on the black. peaty.
friable soil which the onion loves. and
the crops were raised by experienced
growers, using approved methods.
Summing up the results of these
trials. +. II. Hall OF the station says:
considering the varying price of the
marketable product. the close margin
Of profit from heavy manuring with
fertilizers even with fairly good prices
for the crop product and the viciSsi-
tudes Of the crop due TO the limitations
of season. the onion grower runs great
risk of diminished profits when he
uses 1900 and 1000 pounds OF com
mercial manure per acre"
