POPULARITY OF THE PEANUT

!
 An obseryant state contemporary, considering the virtues of the ''pindar," remarks that they do say q SoutE Carolina legislator can eat more pin- dars than anybody else.'
 1t is fact that the average South Carolina legislator is abnormally fond | of ''pindars," as our contemporary calls 1 the fruit scientifically known as the
 Arachis hypogoea, and variously desig- mated in the everyday language of this country. Even the stTicteSt rules lagainst eating in the legislative halls are insufficient to abolish the habit III the house, and, while the sedate senate | is not so openly addicted to it, still we have known the most punctilious sen- ator to send out surreptitiously for T bag of Dindars and devour them in that dignity of manner becoming a senator of South Carolina. The senators eat pindars quietly in the senate chamber and carefully dispose of the hulls or they slip out into the lobby or cloak
 room and there enjoy the feast in peace. But in the house it is quite diff ferent. There the members indulge themselves regardless of conventionali- ties, and after an especially trying day lthe floor is covered with the hulls that have fallen from their careless hands In this article we have followed our contemporary in designating the Arachas hypagoea as the pindar, but there are many other names for this popular fruit. Tn the south, where the fruit is best known. pindaS IS the most common name given it, although it is spelled either pindar or binder, while the form "pinda" is also found, as well as pindal. In Georgia the common
 name is 'sgoober,'' and in Virginia.
 where it is raised on an extensive scale, it is usually called the ground nut" In the north the name by which this versatile plant and its product arc known is peanut or the "ground lpea," and it rejoices in still other desig- nations, such as "earthnut, Manila nut and '.jurnut.''
 The peanut has been found to be a
 very profitable crop and many Virginia
 farmers have made fortunes out or it.
 The market is sure and the expense of
 planting, cultivation and harvesting is
 by no means great. The Newberry Ob-
 server interviewed q peanut dealer in
 it's town who ''has $24O peanut roast
 CT and has eleven acres planted in pea
 nuts on his farm out beyond Helena''
 This gentleman expects to gather 's5GO
 bushels of good, sound peanuts, leaving
 the undergrown and defective on the
 vines for stock" Last year he planted
 one acre late and got sixty bushels Often a vine will yield quart Good
 pindars bring from 90 cents to $125 T
 bushel through the year" So that there
 is money inpindars at this rate, when
 we know that a town the size of New
 bery consumes 1,50O or 2,OOO bushcls.-

which he indulges at regular periods Entirely apart from the merits O. the case, the language is incorporate aud insulting to United States senator acting in his official capacity, and, moreover, gives evidence of q vindic- tiveness and an absence of Judicial qualifications so necessary ill man filling the important position occupied by the judge. A precedent has already been set by MT Roosevelt himself. in his reprimand of General Funston for far less offensive criticism of Senator Hoar, and Mir Roosevelt can materially benefit the public service, inspire the respect of the people regardless of party, and prevent further complica- tions by promptly dropping the offend ing official from the rolls of the state department.

Senator Harris of Kansas was among the national legislators who have been in Washington during the past week, and he predicts the most encouraging results for his party in the fall eiec- tions. He does not regard his own re- turn to the senate as probable, but De- lieves that the democrats will carry the state elections and will make ma terial gains in the congressional dele gation. He states that the elements opposed to the republican party are more thoroughly organized than ever before, from which he argues the re- suits will be most satisfactory. Speak ing of his own chances, the senator says that he believes that were the election of senators a popular one, he would certainly win, but with the hold over contingent in the state senate he has little chance.

Banker Henry Clews says that when vacations are over and the crops as- slred, we may have to pay more atten- ton to the money market, unless dur ing the next six weeks bank reserves are considerably strengthened, either by contraction of loans or additions to the reserve items Then the elections will soon follow with discussion of sub jects that will have more or less effect upon the stock market, notably the trust que ton, which is likely to be q more active issue. The next session of congress will be short one, during which little actual legislation will oc- cur, still talk will be plentiful. if only for effect in the next presidential cleo ton. These are the most important uncertainties which the market will have to face, and only time can demon- strate how far they will be counteract- ed by the continuance of prosperity. In the business and industrial worlds the only disturbing element at present is the labor situation. The coal strike is still in force, contrary to expecta- tions, and new enterprises are likely to be deferred until a more settled feeling is obtained in labor circles

No better opportunity was ever af- forded the president to demonstrate his fairmindedness and consistency than is presented by the case of Senator Bailey of Texas and Judge Penfield solicitor general of the state department. 1t will be remembered that a case in which the Texas senator is interested was discussed with considerable force by Mir Bailey and MT Beyeridge of h. diana during the closing hours of the session and resulted ill an unfortunate personal encounter between the two, after the senate had adjourned for the day. Subsequently Judge Penfeld; in whose defense Senator Beveridge had engaged, made public statement of his view of the controversy. While the judge was doubtless within his rights in making public his side of the case, his statement was marred by the most intemperate language. After saying that Senator Bailey had stated on the floor of the senate what was ''in sub- stance and spirit untrue" and wha. he knew perfectly well'' was unture, Ire concludes by saying Senator Bailey .iss one of those men who go hunting trouble. and this is simply one of those spasmodic displays of asininity in

SONS OF POETS.

The Lancet, the we'll known English medical weekly, has been inquiring into the question of the transmission of genius from father to son, and has found that the sons of great poets are generally dull dogs. Poetic fervor is evidently a spiritual flame that burns itself out in the generation wherein it is kindled. Indeed, it very often seems to burn out the very aptitude for paternity; or is it that the poet is generally too poor to permit himself the delight of fatherhood? However it may be, many eminent English poets can never be accused of having dull dogs'' of sons, because they new
 CT had any sons at all. Cowley, But Ter, Otway, Prior Congreve, Gay, Phillips, Savage, Thomson, Collins, Shenstone, Akenside, Goldsmith Grey, Johnson and Keats all died without leaving offspring, and Pope, Swift, Datts and Cowper were never married. Dryden's, Addison's and ParnelPs de- scendants did not pass into the sec ond generation, and the descendants of Shakespeare and Milton became ex- tinct in the second and third genera tions. Sir Walter Scott's baronetcy expired with his son.-Harper's Week.

The Hon William J. Bryan has apoI- ogized to the Ti1den club of New York for his absence from the big political dinner at New York a short time ago Some people think Bryan made the mistake of his life in not attending that dinner and boarding the lions ill their den. By the lions we mean Hill and Cleveland. It would have been a good place to have settled the old scores, and leave the newspaper con troversy out. In his letter of apology Bryan delivers Cleveland a few more whacks and closes with the following: Cleveland having thrown his int1u- ence to the republican party in two campaigns he is hardly in position to advise the party which he aban- doned, or, as he expresses it, which banished him. I am anxious to see the party grow in numbers and strength, but it is absurd to expect this result to follow an attempt on the part of deserters to turn that party over to the control of those who find the society of republicans more congeniaI than the society of those who believe in the platforms adopted in 1896 and 1900.

 Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury of New York has discovered a way of saving money, and has put his plan into practice.

 1t was all the fault of the steering apparatus that MT Crowninshields S flagship, the Illinois, went on the rocks in the harbor of Christiana. There is apt to be something the matter with the steering mechanism of the ships that carry Crowninshield around the world It was so when he was in command of the battleship Maine. 1t was the habit of the Maine when Crowninshield was aboard to go ashore, and it was because of this habit that Admiral Bunce threatened him with court-martial We hope that this trouble-breeder will get through his term as fleet commander without losing a ship or getting court martialed. He has already made a bad mess of the affair at Venice, in which some of our naval officers were mixed up, and now his flagship has suffered a serious injury, which may cost a hundred thousand dollars to re- pair He is going to transfer his flag to the Chicago, and there is an oppor- tunity for plenty of things to happen before the time comes in regular order for his successor to be appointed Hartford Times.

The congressional boom of the Hon

The congressional boom, of the Hon George l.. Lilley, our well known townsman, was given a boost last even- ing by our contemporary, the Amer. can. If the ongressman-atlarge from Connecticut must be republican Lll- ley is the man surely, and we think every citizen of Waterbury, irrespective of party, will say so. But then, by right the position belongs to the demo- cratic party, and who knows but what this city will place a good democrat in the field to contest MT Lflley's right 10 the position. From the present outlook Waterbury is bound to cut quite a hg- ure in the fall election, if We succeed in getting the county sheriff and con- gressman.

JOHN BROWN GLoRIFIED.

John Brown had none of the quali- ties, except courage, which MT Adams ascribes to Lee. Hardly a greater contrast of character, training or life could be conceived of than that be- tween Robert E. Lee and John Brown, For my part have Il ever been able to acquit Brown of acts in Kansas which were bloody crimes by every human standard Such, however, as he was, he struck at Harper's Ferry blow not only s1heard round the world" but a blow which was aimed at African slavery in the United States. It appeared temporarily to be a blow aimless and futile, and Brown died on q gibbet, How has it since fared with him? Has he hung on the gibbet for twelyescore years where ''the flesh crumbled from his skull?" Already far more than half the world holds him a sainted martyr, and if I cared to indulge in vaticination should say that nothing is more cer- tain in the future than that John Brown will have his statue; will be as tsone of our sacred men," Why? Sim ply because he fell in what the world IeSdIuS, dhu VIII aOIS dHu uhoIC M gard a good cause. John Brown will have his statue; will be as Carlyle, as quoted by MT Adams, says, ''set apart as one of our sacred men; sacred, that all may see him, be reminded of him, and by new example added to old, perpetual precept, be taught what is real worth in a man." Does such an apotheosis await the champion and central figure of the long, costly, dead- 1y struggle to establish a shareholders confederacy? think not-Ex- Cover nor Chamberlain in Springfield Re- publican.
