Our Farmers are busy threshine

OUR SELF GOVERNMENT.
1t Is Necessary Under New National
Conditions.

1t Is Necessary Under New National
Conditions.
The Chautauquan: The changing at
titude toward the educational value Of
self-government has induced a more
serious study Of the nature Of demo-
cratic institutions and Of the classes
and races which are called upon to
share In It. AS a people whose earlier
hopes ave been shocked by the hard
blows of experience, we are beginning
to pause and take invoice of the hetero-
geneUus stock Of humanity that we
have admitted to the management of
our great political enterprise. We are
trying to look beneath the surface and
to inquire whether there are not fac
tors of heredity and race more funda-
amental than those Of education and
environment. We find that our demo-
cratic theories M forms of govern
ment were fashioned by but one of the
many races and people which have
come within their practical operation,
and that that ace, the socalled Anglo
Saxon, developed them out of its own
island experience unhampered by in
roads of alien stock.
When once thus established in Eng
land and further developed in America
we find that other races and people.
accustomed to despotism and ever saw
agery, and wholly unused to self-gov-
eminent, nave been thrust into the del
icate fabric. Like n practical people,
as we pride ourselves, we have begun
actually to despotize our institutions
in order to control these dissident ele-
ments, though still enthusiastically hold-
ing that VIZ retain the original de-
mUcracy. h earlier problem was
mainly a political onc-hoW to unite
into one self-governing nation a scat
tered population with the wide diver
sity of natural resources, climates and
interests that mark a country stretch
ing from ocean to ocean and from the
| arctics to the subtropics.
The problem now is a social one-how
to unite into one people a congeries of
races even more diverse than the re-
sources and climates from which they
draw their substance. That motto "E
| pluribus unum," "one out of many"
which in the past has guided those
who through constitutional debate and
civil war worked out our form of gov
eminent, must now again be the motto
Of those who would work out the more
fundamental problem of the union Of
races. Here is something deeper than
the form Of governmental is the es-
sence Of government-for it is that
union of the people which makes gov
eminent what it really is.

The Meaning of One Word.

Atlanta Constitution: The own of
Southold, N. y, has just lost an i'm
portant lawsuit because Webster's die
tionary defines the little word with
differently from the construction which
the town authorities placed upon it.
The possession of valuable oyster
beds at the bottom of PeconiC bay was
involved in the dispute. Southold
claimed control of the beds under the
colonial patent issued in 1876, which
whole of the LAID under Peconic's
state, which controls the grants to oys-
ter beds, had conveyed the right to
work these particular beds to certain
citizens. whom the town authorities
sought to eject.
The old patent under which Southold
was established described the town as
being bounded ION the south with an
arme Of the sea or river. runneth up be-
tween southampton land and the afore-
sud tract of land unto a certain Creeke,
W lich fresh water runneth into, called
in English Red Creekc. together with
the said Creeke and meado belonging
thereunto, so running on a straight line
from the head of the aforenamed fresh
water to tie head of q small brokke

The towns contention was that the

on the whole the total will likely be bh
little short of last year and better IN
quality. Kansas and Nebraska will exceed
their ten-year average, though moderately
below last years crops. The southwest
has a good crop. Taking the situation as
a whole the yield will be above the aver
age of recent years.
Rains lave fallen during the past few
days in the Ohio river valley, and in
southern Kansas where it was very much
needed to put the ground in proper condi-
ton for plowinS and wheat seeding, as
well as to help pastures. Wheat seeding is
now we'll advanced and much of the early
planted is coming up nicely. While it is
too early to judge accurately upon the
acreage, the information so far at hand
suggests the possibility of a slight in
crease. In the northwestern states, par
ticularly Minnesota, excessive rains have
made 1t unfavorable for field work., and
grain threshing.
The movement of wheat to market con-
tinues moderate to light except in the west
where it is limited only by the capacity
of the railroads to haul 1t away.
The rains of the past week were ben
cicial to pasturage. which is generally
very good in the central and western
states, and poor but improving in south
ern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
The recent downward tendency in the
wheat markets was checked during the
past week due to uufaNorab!e wet wealth
er in the northwest, to several bullishly
interpreted state crop reports and to "a
better export inquiry. Nearly all markets
are slightly higher than a week ago, but
still there is a little nervous feeling.
In the corn markets there was a fair
amount of trading and at Chicago May
delivery sold as low as 1850 on Monday,
the lowest price on this option this season.
Western markets are slightly easier than
a week ago. owing to the favorable pros
poets for the new corn. The offerings of
old corn are of fair proportions. The short
crop of oats is reflected in the moderate
offerings, and although prices eased off
slightly With corr the feeling most of the
week was steady.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS awful

Washington Star: While several news

Secretary Whitney awaiting news OF ths
postofhce investigation tbs other day
United States Marshal Thomas B. Reid
of Milwaukee, who is an old friend OF Mr..
Whitney's. came III, In the course Of sew
cal anecdotes Mr.. Reid told the following
on Mr.. Whitney:
Several years ago We went north on q
fishing excursion with a party OF railroad
men, taking a private car that was sent
out and going anywhere we pleased.
Coming back we stopped at Eagle river.
and while out in Il canoe with a nalH
breed and myself Mr.. Whitney hooked a
muskellonge while fishing for bass. We
certainly had a time with that fish. But
Mr.. Whitney Kept him on the line until
We padded ashore, when the Indian took
the line over his shoulder and proceeded
up the trail. the fish following because he
was tired and could not help himself.
when we got into the shadows couid
wait no longer, but jumped on his back
and pinned him down until Whitney
could get Il crack at his head with a cup.
When we got back to the car we nuhg
the fish on the railing, and Its tali
dragged on the ground. You can imagine
how proud Whitney was, and you can
have a faint conception Of his Indignation
W iANi Wv SAii> ~
about his having caught 1t. He appealed
to me and my natural propensity to joke
got me to do something l have since re-
GREETED many a time. l stood behind
Whitney, where he did not see my face
and while solemnly asserting that he
caught the fish, accompanied the state
ment with a wink that deprived the story
of any effect on the belief of the COM
pany They secuted me as a second
hand Ananias trying to serve a friend.
THAT night when we were all asleep l
crept out of the car. aroused the half
breed and we went to an Indian camp a
mile away, hired a greasy buck to come
to the car IN the morning and claim his
pay for the fish. Tina performance cost
me So in cash, besides the wears and tears
of my shins falling over logs going and
coming.
"What happened in the morning was
Just too awful. The Indian, carefully
coached, marched into the car while We
were at breakfast, and approached Mr.
Whitney, held out his greasy hand and
grunted: Money for the fish you bought
yesterday
For n minute Mr.. Whitney was speech
less with Indignation and then his flow OF
language was something startling. The
halfbreed hurried into the car and hus-
tied the Indian out. and he took to the
woods with his 81.
The boys laughed and guyed and
yelled until Mr.. Whitney actually became
sick, and went to bed for the day. Many
a time since l lave thought Of confessing
what l did, but | never had the courage
to let him know until now"

he CHANGED to mistake the dry goods
counter with the book speciality for the

plantations and apologies followed and
then the customer was shown to the
