Daybreak at Sea.

Fair little heads. good night,
Each on its pillow white!
Ny thoughts come visiting you all un-
known:
And trench a garden deep
About the place of sleep,
And wake the flowers that bloom at dusk
alone.
Lilies that sigh and move,
Voices that call in love
From hidden regions little known to-day.
Faces of friends to be,
Shapes of Eternity,
That stand unseen about your hourly
way.
Warm little hands. good night!
Meet in the dim starlight
Hands that were late your own, and
still shall be!
Brave little feet that stray,
Though you forget all day,
In dreams your steps will como a
seeking me!
Hush little tongues. good night!
Yon flame that starts so bright
Above the verge you call the setting sun!
The seas a single tide
And earth is not so wide,
While setting sun and rising sun are one.

LABOR AND THE FUSION PARTY,

When the News is at loss for any,
thing to do it digs up some one to tell
the public about Fusion politics. Re-
Gently it outlined pretended policy
that the Fusion Party had adopted
to catch the labor vote and shelve the
silver party and then call the whole
the Democratic party.
In times gone by the News has oc-
cupied it's time telling the Fusion par
ty in this State how to manage it's in
ternal affairs, and trying to make it's
subscribers think that it is the real
fountain head of the Information on
the subject. The only persons we
nave ever heard discuss the RELIABLE
ity of it's statements are few misguid
ed individuals who have lost small
amounts betting on it. 1t is to their
credit that they have never went into
the betting business very steeply.
The story that the party is reaching
out to get the labor vote seems rather
rediculus, when the fact is taken into
consideration that the labor vote has
always bene with the Fusion party.
Certainly the men who make a liv-
ing delving in the silver mines in this
or of a party who has demonetized
silver and closed down three forths
of the source of their employment.
They would not look to the party
of the trusts for support for the pro-
gramme of the trusts is to throttle the
wage Garner wherever they can find
him.
Last fall the platform of all the
parties contained labor plank. The
labor element looked the platforms
over and finding them all alike OF
the subject concluded to cast it's vote
with the party that had always beer
in the habit of carrying out it's plat
form pledges and it went almost solid
ly for the Fusion ticket. The Fusion
party of Nevada has an enviable rec
ord for keeping it's platform pledge:
and this in a great measure account:
for it's success at the poles, which will
be continued as long as it keeps alb
solute faith with the voters.
The News is not CONSERVED so muc'
about the Fusion party getting the Lab
or vote. 1t fears that it will continu
TO keen faith with labor and have tn
vote again in the election of 1904
And there seems to be no good reaso
why labor in Nevada should not vot
in '04 as it did in 02.

The Connecticut Pomologicai Society is yearly

1891 and in 1893 IT incorporated by the General
Assembly II was started by the peach growers of
the State who every year make important
contribution the general peach yield of the East
ern States Now IL embraces any interested
in the raising fruit. The organization Of the So
ciety was the outcome OF necessity. For some
wears previous 10 1891 the peach crop seriously
injured by insects 1t was evident that united ac-
ton should be taken get rid of the pest. This
gave rise TO a permanent organization among the
peach growers the outcome OF which was the pres
ent Pathological Society.
During the twelve years that IL has been in
istence the society has had much influence with the
General Assembly in getting favorable bills passed
For instance action taken by the State
earding the pest which was SO detrimental TO the
peach crop and which primarily the cause OF
the society's being organized. Since then the As
sebly has given considerable attention TO pests OF
ali kinds relating to trees and in this respect much
has been accomplished
Aside from the annual convention, the society
holds institute meetings throughout the year In
va rious parts Of The State. These are generally
held ON the invitation OF oranges farmers clubs
or similar organizations. At these meetings papers
are read and discussions held regarding pomologt-
cal research Aside from these meetings, gen.
eraI exhibition of fruit is held each year. In this
way opportunty is afforded 10 the best speci-
mems of the years growth. and there is Also of
course the natural stimulus to growers to exert
themselves so 10 make a good showing at the
