Loved in life. in death remembered,
Buried the true loving mother:
The heart that beat responsive to ours,
We start, pause, we gaze at one another.
Then wondering, ask can she indeed be gone?
Dear mother you have LETT us,
For the cold and silent tomb;
For our heartsare filled with sorrow,
And our home is filled with gloom;
Torn from the hearts that loved her,
To sleep in the silent tomb

TRADE WITH SOUTH AFRICA
Valuable Advice From q Consul tn
American Manufacturers.


Now that peace has been declared I'm
South Africa there will come an enor-
mOLs demand for goods. Many farm
houses in the -Transvaal and the Or
matched roofs burned and will have
to be reroOfed probably with galva-
nizeI iron, a material much used for
this purpose there. 1t will also be
necessary for many of the farmers to
purchase new agricultural implements,
vehicles, furniture. harness and food
for man and beast. Every store will
have to be restocked In short, all en-
Jerprises will be started anew. and ii
will not be possible to get goods into
the interior fast enough to meet the
demand that will arise.
All nations are awaiting this trade
and are preparing for 1T by establish
ing direct lines of ocean tranSpor-
tatiOn-all nations except the United
States. which. other than an occa-
sioual freight steamer. has no direct
communication with Cape Colony. In
calling the attention of the state de.
partment at Washington to these Op-
pOrtunities. Consul General Bingham
at Cape Town says:
The United States ships TO this part OF
the world more than twice as much goods
as amy other country, except Great Brit
ain. We have been sending TO South Al
RIGA an immense amount of the material
required 10 carry on the war and this has
accounted for much OF our increased
trade. Ii is said that from the begin
ming of hostilities up 10 April >. 1892. the
United States has furnished 20l .60I horses
and mules for Service I'm the British army:
also vast amount OF grain. hay, meat
and other articles Horses will still be
purchased 10 some extent, ana feed will
always be in demand. though in less
quantities than at present. Indeed. until
a different method OF farming Is adopted
here this country will never De able 10
raise nearly enough to supply its wants
but when there Is 10 longer demand for
army supplies from the United States our
imports into South Africa Will probably
decrease 10 their normal volume or nearly
so. and II We intend 10 strengthen our
hold on the manufactured goods trade We
must conduct tEat trade directly instead
of through the hands of our competitors.

that the trade of South Africa belongs to

IN THE SENATE.
Depew Favors Establishment of a Ma
tionaI Forestry Reserve.

Washington, June Sat the con-
clusiOn of routine business in the
Senate, Saturday, Depew, IN. " ad-
dressed the Senate in advocacy of the
bill appropriating $10,000,000 for the
purchase of 100000 acres of land for
a national forest reserve in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia. Alabama and Tennessee.
1t is stated by the committee report
ing the measure that 1T may fairly be
urged that the establishment of this
forest reserve in the region of the
south Appalachian mountains is mat
ter of great national Importance, and
that owing to the peculiar conditions
existing in this region the establish
ment of this reserve need not neces-
sarily be accepted as a precedent for
the establishment of similar reserves
elsewhere in the East
Depew said the project was favored
by President Roosevelt and by the Sec
rotary of agriculture. and federal ac-
ton was justified fully by public nee
essity. He said that within 10 years
the great hardwood forests in the pro-
posed reserve would be destroyed en-
tirely. Such a result would be disas-
trOus to the states affected and to the
entire country.
At the conclusion of Depew's remarks
Hale said that the Senate could not fai
| to be impressed by the great impor-
lance of the subject. He had not been
aware of the extent of the land to be
purchased, but he thought that some
action ought to be taken upon the mat
ter at this session.
| The Senate then began the considera-
| ton of the measure commonly known
as the London dock charges bill.
| Nelson, Rep. Mimi, in support of the
BILL said the charges made at the Lon
don docks against American flour
principally, were discrimination
against the United States.
| In response to an inquiry from Nc.
Cumber as to what guaranty the ship
pers of this country would have, in ths
event of the elimination of the Londor
dock charges, that the Atlantic freight
rates would not be increased, Nelson
replied that there was no guaranty ant
could be none. The shippers would hav,
to take their chances on that. TIL,
steamship trust organized by J. P. Nor
gan, he said. might raise the freigh
charges. That was not to be prevented
by the pending bill.
"God deliver us from trusts" de
clared Nelson. THAT is matter whicl
we will have to take care of later on.
The bill was then laid aside and con
sideration of the isthmian canal projec
was resumed. Mitchell. Ore. addressing
