AN oRAToR1cAI sKYscRApER.

On the famous battlefield of Shiloh, the Indianians on last Monday had a ceiebra- tion at which there were speeches and patriotism to burn. Senator Albert J. Beveridge, who is one of the oratorical Hky-scrapers of the Union, and who can shed eloquenee as easily as an April cloud sheds water, was one of the speak CTS He said some goods things. as was to be expected. but fthe, sentiments were not always as we could either endorse or approve The central Idea running through his speech is that the citizen owes duty and devotion to the Nation, not to the State. We have State flag" he said. 'T do not know what it is. Not ten in our State know what 1t is Not a single Indianian would die for it. But every one of Indianas 50o.000--men, women and children-would die for another flag. lt Is the Nations fiag-it is our flag, our only flag"
 With all due respect to this oratorical epouter, we must say that he gives us a very different opinion of the intelligence As well as the patriotism of the people of his State. Devotion to the Union is right, but true patriotism, like charity, begins at home The assertion that not . man in Indiana would die for the State. and that every man. woman and child would die for the Nation--with a big N Is not true in either case. We've no houbt that there are many men in In diana who would die for their State if necessary. and there is less doubt that quite a number of them would postpone dying for the nation as long as they could.
 Beveridge is like many men who in- duige fin oratorical pyrotechnics. and talks more for effect than for good sense All that he said in his speech at Shiloh about the loyalty of Southern men to the Union now was was properly said, and really needed no expression, for no one with sense will doubt 1t, but when he sets out to show that all patriotism begins and ends in devotion to the flag of the Union, he talks nonsense. Patriotism be- gins near each mans fireside, and we maintain yet. as Democrats have always maintained, that the first duty of all good citizens is to their own States. But ? Beveridge is an entertaining talker

 MT. Cleveland also said:

WASHINGTON ORANGES.
Agricultural Department Expects
to Succeed in Its Ex-
periments.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The experts of
the agricultural department are salts
fed that oranges can be grown in East
ern Washington. Preparations are now
being made to send number of seed
ling trees to that part of the state in
the early spring, and the expectation
of the department is that the orange
growing business will ultimately be-
come a recognized industry in Wash
ington.
1t may surprise some persons to know
that the department has actually dem
onstrated that it is possible to raise
oranges successfully in ATTITUDES much
further porth than Florida or Califor-
mia, and that distinct new species of
this fruit, the trees of which are prac-
tically frost-proof, have been developed.
Oranges are now being grown as far
north as North Carolina, and although
it may seem, even to resident of the
state of Washington that the climate of
North Carolina is much warmer than
that of Washington, the fact is that the
mean temperature in North Carolina Is
really lower than it is in many parts of
Washington.
The first experiments in Washington
will be made in Chelan county, and
the first actual shipment of trees will
90 to Wenatchee. The department Off
Gals are satisfied that the climate of
Chelan county is well adapted to the
cultivation of the particular species of
oranges which it is proposed to raise
there. OF course these oranges are not
the sweet varieties of Florida or even of
Southern California. The fruit is, in
deed, quite sour, but it is palatable for
table use when sugar is plentifully
used; and is moreover of excellent
quality for use in making preserves and
marmalades.
The department predicts that by the
time the Seeding trees which it pro-
poses to ship TO Chelan county have
reached the bearing age, which will be
in about three years, the experts Of the
government will be ready with a vari-
ETY. of scions which can be grated to
the mature trees and which will pro-
duce an excellent sweet orange, almost
or quite equal to the product of South
ern chimes. This prediction is based
upon the results of experiments which
have been going on in the agricultural
department, almost unnoticed for sew
eral years.

HIS HEALTH FAILING.
King Edwards Illness is Said to be
Serious.

London, Feb. 9.-Reynolds' Newspa-
per ridicules the influenza theory of the
kings illness, and asserts that his maj
esty's health ia failing. Reynolds
Newspaper continues:
On January %, the king, on rising,
was seized with acute abdominal pains.
Expert advice secuted the idea that a
return of the malady of last June was
at all imminent, and the king wishes
to believe that he is as we'll and strong
as ever. Experts know that King Ed
ward will have but short reign. For
ten days the king bravely struggled to
deceive himself into believing that
nothing was the matter. but on the
3lst of January he was advised to keep
to his room. where with two exceptions
he has remained ever since. On the
occasions of both his goings out he
came home much worse. After one of
these occasions additional medical men
were summoned and consultation was
held, and strict orders were issued that
no communication be given to the press
On Tuesday his majesty was in highly
delerious state. On Thursday he was
very weak. Nothing can be fixed for a
certainty as to the future.

Big Shaking Up Will Come on Ac-
count of Unions.

Big Shaking Up Will Come on Ac-
count of Unions.
New York, Feb. 9.-After briefly dis
cussing the antitrust law and the pro-
posed department of commerce, James
J. Hill, president of the Northern Sc
curities company, said:
GAS labor unions killed industr ial
England, so they are destined to bring
about grave financial reverse in the
United States, and the country is swift
ly approaching that crisis, It may
come in year; it may be deferred un-
til the presidential year, but it is
bound to come" Mr.. Hill fatty de-
MED, but deprecatingly, that, as the
average person believes, the United
States is the leading manufacturing ma
ton and is rapidly gathering to it's bo-
som the markets of the entire world.
This Misrepresentation, be averred, is
the result of the fact that over one in
dustrial victory this country sets up a
louder shout than England, Germany or
France makes over dozen.
"There seems to be too much conf
dence in the ability of the country to
forge right ahead of all other countries
in manufacturing, continued Mr.. Hill.
"The country can do it. but not with
out trouble, and not without changing
it's present course
cit is indeed grave crisis we are
approaching, though few seem to ap-
preciate it. few years may see the
closing of many factories and the throw
ing out of work of hundreds of thou
sands of men. We have been reaping
the harvest and the reverse is coming.
How quickly we will recover from it
will depend largely on who is at the
head of the country when the break
cOmes.'

CHILDREN NOT WANTED.
DIR. Shrady Makes t,austic Comment
on Conditions in America.

New York, Feb. 9.-An article in
the Medical Record giving figures on
the decrease in the size of American
families has called forth a remarkable
statement from DR.. George F. Shrady,
the editor of the Record, famous as
General Grants personal physician. In
speaking of the decrease in American
families DR.. Shrady said:
"The fashionable woman of today
does not want children. If she bears
them she does not rear them properly
and they become sickly and die. That
this aversion to children is rapidly
spreading through all classes of society
is generally recognized by the medical
profession. 1t is true among the we'll
TODD everywhere, in the country as
we'll as in the cities. We are following
rapidly in the footsteps of France,
where the subject has occupied the at
tention of statesmen and lawmakers Tor
years and prizes are offered by the gov
eminent for large families. In this
country, however, our Anglo-Saxon
prudery will always stand in the way
of any general campaign of education
on this subject. Physicians can do
something in the way celebrating their
own patients, but their efforts in the
aggregate amount to but little. The
demands of society and the life of our
people in fats, where the baby Is more
unwelcome than dog, are among the
factors responsible tor this state of al
fairs, and | see no hope for the future.
