 We were disappointed that there was not much of a flourish when we started. There was absent the traditional bugle whose call we thought ought to announce our approach to the metropolis of the desert. Horses and driver seemed to think of nothing particularly joyful about the trip. In fact, as we look back upon it now, 1t seems barely pos sible that man and brute felt something of aversion to the trip. But we were then so new to the experience--the greenest thing on the boundless plain--that we fail ed to read aright their emotions.
 When at last we were on the way, the mirage began to play its fantastic tricks on the visa ge, the struggling vegetation strug- gled as much to move slowly past us as it had to live. We struck rut, and then another rut, and little further on another rut, and each individual rut acted like an inverted pile driver upon our spinal column. And then the dust arose-1t came up like vol canic eruption, except that it was continuous, insistent and perpet- ual. The beauties Of the mirage amalgamated with the discom- forts of ruts and dust in equal proportions for all hour and then by easy stages the novelty of the scene petered out, and for six hours more there was left nothing to distract attention but the bat tering ram and the dust.
 And so the first experience on the Imperial stage ended in mis- cry, unutterable and inconceiv- able misery.
 But what shall we say of all that long series of trips which followed the first, when every ob- iect was familiar, when the thought of the coming trip was like torture of a nightmare which was only exceeded in its agony by the reality of the experience?
 We'll, the stage line is a dead thing. It's agonies are like those of the thumb screws of the In- quisition, something which has no relationship with the present or the future, and we gather about the bier of the old stage line and lower it into the grave of the dead past, to sleep through eternity, and laying it's quiet and peaceful form into the sepulchre, in appropriately softened tones, we say: 'Dust thou art, to thy favored duSt return. and acCurSed

THE EVANSVILLE TROUBLE.

The trouble at Evansville, Ind, be-
tween the whites and blacks is not
over yet Eight companies of militia
are encamped in the city and it is ex-
pected they will remain until to-mor-
row. There is no probability, how
ever, that there will be more rioting
as long as the soldiers are on duty.
But there are indications that there
will be a renewal of the trouble as
soon as they depart. On Tuesday, as
they were marching. through the city,
a man in a crowd on the sidewalk
called out: There won't be anything
doing until you fellows leave, hut
watch out then. We don't care how
long you stay. We can wait" If that
is the spirit that animates the whites
there may be more rioting when the
military companies are withdrawn.
The feeling between the whites and
the blacks is extremely bitter. There
has been bad blood between them in
Evansville for many months, and the
ill-feeling eliminated last Friday
night, when a negro named Lee Brown
killed Policeman Massey, who was
trying to arrest him. Brown at the
time was trying to murder a man with
whom he had quarreled.
The chief disturbance took place
on Monday night when nine men We're
killed, four fatally wounded and
thirty-seven more or less injured. At
the outset of the disturbance a COM
pany of negroes who were armed
marched through the town shouting
down with the whites" and threaten
ing death to all if the negro Brown
were lynched.
Primarily of course the outbreak was
due to the killing of the policeman by
the negro Brown, but there would
have been no rioting if the mob had
not threatened to lynch Brown. Mob
violence was productive of violence
The Mayor of Evansville has ex-
pressed the opinion that there will be
no rioting after the departure of the
troops, but the dispatches convey a
different impression. The feeling be-
tween the races is so bitter that it
will require but a slight provocation
to cause a renewal of the rioting.
Mob violence is becoming more COM
mon. Almost every day there is an
account of a lynching in the dis
patches. Where is this mob violence
to end? Once it was confined almost
entirely to offenders guilty of a crime
against women. Now persons charged
with various kinds of crime are lynch
ed. Unless something is done soon
mobs in many parts of the country
will undertake to administer justice in
many matters in accordance with their
views of it. That will be approaching
anarchy

COTTON SEED SELECTION.

Many things of great Importance to
farmers appear in the reports publish
ed by the Department of Agriculture.
The report of Herbert S. Webber,
psychologist in charge of the govern
ment's planting labratory, on the re-
suits to be obtained from selected
cotton seed, contains information of
great value to cotton farmers. 1t is
the opinion of Mr.. Weber that by
proper selection of seed and the right
kind of cultivation and fertilization
the yield per acre of cotton would be
almost doubled.
The cotton farmers use a large
amount of fertilizers. and it is reason
able to suppose that they do so with a
clear understanding of the kind that
will produce the best results, but ii is
doubtful if many of them pay atten-
ton to seed selection. Mr.. Weber says
that the Importance of good seed is
probably more commonly overlooked
than the matter of cultivation and fer
tilization." 1t is probably the prac-
tice of the great majority of farmers TO
take any seed they can secure, wheth-
er 1t is adapted to the soil and climate
of their respective localities or not or
whether it has been bred up to a high
standard of productiveness."
Speaking of the Importance of having
seed of the very best quality Mr.. Web
Der says: mo planter can afford to
be negligent about a matter so essen
tial to his success. AS well might
the breeder of fast trotting horses IN
troduce dray animals into his stables,
or the breeder of intelligent hunting
dogs introduce ordinary mongrel ours
into his kennel"
Good seed is to be obtained by reg
ular system of selection. and the use
of such seed is just as vital a factor in
| the production of the crop as is cult
walton. AS a matter OF fact the corn
| and wheat growers of the West give
great attention to the securing of good
seed by means of selection. OF course
the securing of good seed is a differ
ent matter from obtaining new varie-
ties of seed. The latter is a rather
difficult process, but any farmer, with a
little patience and care. can improve
his cotton seed
In his report Mr.. Weber points out
how this can be done. The paper is not
a long one, and is so written that any
one can easily comprehend the direc-
tons which he gives. Farmers should
abandon the idea that any seed will
answer their purpose. If they will
read Mr.. Webber's paper they will ac-
cept his views.

Against NOtOriety.

There is one young lady in Memphis
who will insist upon her name being
kept out of the papers when she visits
small cities hereafter, says the Mem
phis Scimitar. In one city she recent
ly visited a newspaper man wrote her
up to the limit. After noting the
fact that she was zone of the fairest
of the fair visitors who have ever
graced our fair city with their pres
ence," he went into details. The
wealth of auburn hair" the creamy
complexion" the gentle brown eyes,
the Commanding figure" and all the
stock phrases were put into service.
A copy of the paper found its way
to Memphis and came into the possess
sion of the large family of which the
young lady is a member. Now the
young lady endures all day long such
remarks as these:
Lift those luxuriant lashes from the
gentle brows, darling, and gaze on your
devoted brother"
Your wealth of auburn is coming
down, sister, dear
You'd better get the creamy in the
house, sis: here comes a milkman."

The aspiring young man that wrote
the notice will show bad judgment if
he attempts to renew his acquaintance
with the young lady.

In 1897 the Pope felt the shadow of
death beginning to fall upon him, and
in splendid defiance of it's power wrote
the following lines, which are consid-

Death.

cloudy bed,
Leo. and gradual darkness wells the
dead:
The sluggish life-blood in the wither-

More slowly runs its course-what

Lo! Death is brandishing his fatal
dart,
And the grave yearns to shroud thy
mortal part:
But from it's prison freed, the soul
expands
Exulting pinions to the enfranchised
lands.

Hear, Lord, the feeble paintings of

If it be worthy, Lord, thy plying

Welcome it unto everlasting rest!

lurking nigh
The path to heaven; and freely shall

Twas thy sweet care that gained my
blissful crown!

James Whitcomb Riley went to Phil

City Journal. The sittings were in
John Lambert's studio on South Sew

them said

trick on a New York millionaire. TWem-
low was the fellows name, and he was
an insufferable snob--insufferable. All

TT happened in New York one day
that Nye was upset by a dray and
rolled about in the mud. When he got
up he was a sight; his clothes were in
rags, his shirt and face black, and his
hat without a rim.

suddenly. Think how disguised he'll

The case of poor De Swipes was be-
fore the court, says the Baltimore
American.
He had already admitted having
taken the money intrusted to him by
the charitable organization, and appro-
priating it to his own use.
His fawless past was much in his
favor.
The court was sorely puzzled.
Witness after witness testified to the
mans previous trustworthiness
No information of his having gam
bled or otherwise dissipated could be
obtained.
At last the judge turned to the cow
ering, crest-fallen creature and said,
in a studiedly stern tone:
Have you any statement to make"
Il have" replied the prisoner, in a
firm voice. Il was custodian of the
money that 1 used. / used that money
for my own private purpose, but I did
not know 1 was embezzling. There
was a brand new baby at my house,
and knowing that the coin ] had at
my disposal was admittedly a fresh
heir fund"
When the Judge saw the point he
wept silently.
Then he dismissed the charge of en-
bezZlement.
But he gave the prisoner twenty
days in Jail for contempt
He couldn't stand for the pun.

results will be shown. He would es-

eminent fitness"
The Norfolk CVa.) Landmark (Dem)
says: Certain congressman declare
that they will bring up the Kishineff

TIE CHILD LABOR BILL.

The vote by which the child labor bill
was defeated yesterday justifies the
conclusion that there will be no legis-
lation on the line of the bill by this
Legislature. Representative Cam of
this county and others spoke eloquent
ly yesterday for the bill, but apparent
ly, in the opinion of the majority, the
time has not yet come in this state to
take children of tender years out of
the mills in order that they may have
chance to get the rudiments of an
education and an opportunity to devel-
op their bodies.
We presume that the arguments that
influenced those who opposed the bill
are practically those which Maj. Han
son presented to the members of the
Legislature a few days ago. His ad-
dress was an able one. He had studied
the subject carefully, and was therefore
able to present all of the strong points
against the bill, but it seemed to us
that his arguments had been satisfac-
torily answered by those who followed
him and presented the other side of the
question.
Two things, among others, doubtless
helped to defeat the bill. One is the
feeling that the movement behind it
was inaugursted and is largely support
ed by min operatives and even factory
owners at the North, hoping that by
getting children out of all the mills in
the South it would be easier to meet
Southern cotton mill competition. The
other is that the bill did not have the
support of the parents of the children
nor, as far as we are informed, of 9TH
or workers in the mills.
There is no occasion now for discuss
ing the bill. 1t is practically dead,
though perhaps efforts will be made
for its reconsideration. The question
of child labor in cotton mills, however,
isn't dead by any means. 1t will keep
coming up until children of tender
years are kept out of the mills and pro-
vision is made for older children en-
ployed in them to spend a portion of
their time each year in school.
The vote on the bill was doubtless a
surprise to those who were not ac-
quainted with the sentiments of the
members of the House on the child la
Dor question.
