The story of am ambitious scheme to
find an outlet for the educated me-
groes of the United States comes from
New Haven. The scheme, it seems. is
for them to organize. capture Hayti.
put that island under the protection of
the United States and then run there
government of their own. One Mus
grove of Kentucky is said to be at the
head Of the movement, and efforts are
being made to enlist number of COL
ored graduates of Yale and other COL
leges in the plan. AS a matter of
fact, If few New Englanders found
1t so easy to overthrow the government
Of Hawaii and get under the wing of
the United States. why might not n
company OF negroes capture Hayti and
make an American (negro) territory of
Il?

Representative John Wesley Gaines
Of Tennessee brings his logic to bear
on the Democratic national situation
with this result: ITO my mind there
is only one man for the Democrats to
nominate. and that man is Judge Alton
b. Parker. The South does not
know the man, and have never had
the pleasure of meeting him, but 1
think 1 am safe in saying that the
South is unit now for the nomination
of Judge Parker" 1t would be inter
esting to know if the South is in favor
Of Judge Parker because she does not
know him, or because Representative
Gaines has never met him.

The late session of Congress amended
the immigration law so that skilled
labor may be imported If like kind,
unemployed, cannot be found in this
country" 1t is believed this will make
a considerable breach in the contract
labor barrier, since the corporations
will be apt to find a way to prove"
the lack of skilled labor of such kinds
as they may desire. The opposition of
labor organizations to the. new law
may be expected to manifest itself be-
fore a great while.

For the first time in many months,
according to Chicago newspapers, the
railroads of that section have more
freight cars on hand than they can put
to use. That, however, does not mean
that the volume of traffic is falling be-
low the average of ordinarily prosper
Gus times, but that the railroads have
now more cars than ever before. A
new system of handling cars, too has
had the effect of getting them back to
their own roads with more expedition
than was formerly the case.

Desertions and designations from the
French army of late have become so
numerous as to cause the war ministry
some anxiety. A large percentage of
the enlisted men are from the country
districts, and in those districts SYM
pathy is strongly with the religious or
ders that are being proceeded against
under the law of associations. In
many instances the troops are used to
close the schools and hospitals OF the
orders. The soldiers object to bearing
arms against the priests and sisters,
and rather than do so they are running
away from the army. Many officers
are handing in their designations for
the same reason.

Missouri newspapers declare that
Circuit Attorney Folk, of st. Louis,
who has been prosecuting the boodlers
of the City Council, stands practically
alone in his efforts to bring the guilty
to justice. All of the other officials
have deserted him in his fight for de-
cency and honesty in the city govern
ment, hence he must bear the brunt
of the struggle alone. This being true,
1t can be seen that Mr.. Folk has need
of exceptional moral and physical
backbone to pull him through to a
successful conclusion of the affair. 1t
is believed he has both. Meanwhile it
is gratifying to observe that the good
citizens of st. Louis are appreciative
of his efforts and are giving him their
support. AS an earnest of their conf
dence and good will committee of
citizens a few days ago rendered him
a present of a $4,000 residence. MIR.
Folk declined the tender, saying that
while he appreciated the spirit of it, he
could not accept so costly a gift for
performing his duty. Should that
young mans life be spared, the future
holds much for him.

During the past week or such a mat
ter there have been numerous items in
the newspapers telling of the increase
in the prices of fresh meats, and other
items evidently from inspired sources
telling why it was necessary for the
prices to be advanced. An investiga-
ton by a Philadelphia paper has
brought out the following facts, given
on authority: The receipts of cattle
at the Kansas City stock yards in April
were 80 per cent. greater than for the
same month a year ago; receipts of
hogs were 20 per cent. greater, and of
sheep just double. During the same
period beef cattle were selling from
$1.75 to 81 lower than last years prices.
And yet during the month of April
there was an advance of 2 cents per
pound on about every class of meat.
In the face of such facts it will be diff
cult to convince consumers that there
is any other reason for the increased
prices than the cupidity of the trust.
Having the power to squeeze, it is MAX
ing the most of it.

AN INSTRUCTIVE ADDRESS.

The large audience that heard the
address of Hon. Joseph Devlin last
night on Ireland was appreciative and
enthusiastic. The address was enter
tanning and instructive, and COM
manded the closest attention through
out it's delivery.
With such advocates of her cause
as Mr.. Devlin 1t is not a matter of
wonder that Ireland is making such
progress towards land ownership and
home rule. One is in sight and the 9TH
er is sure to come.
Those who heard Mr.. Devlin have a
pretty fair knowledge of the fight that
the Irish people have been making to
rid themselves of landlordism and to
secure home rule. They also know
what has been accomplished in that
direction, how it has been accomplish
ed and what the programme for the
future is. Mr.. Devlin is a pleasing and
forcible speaker and he has the salts
faction of knowing that he strength
ened the cause of Ireland in this city.

Litchfeld Independent: Sew
enty-fve thousand dollars were
paid out last Tuesday by the
state capitol commission for
compensation for half a dozen
residences near the new capitol
building. The lots were want
ed SO as to make more open
ground about the new building.
Why didn't they get com
plete site when the selection of
the location was made? The
whole capitol job is gigantic
fraud from beginning to en- |.
When the new building was
first projected it was to cost
not cent over two million dol
lars, site and all. This was over
ten years ago. Since that time
five millions have been spent,
and the building is not nearly
completed. It would surprise
no one to find it will cost ten
millions before this big St.
Paul grab is finished.

ges against him and also of all

1t may indeed be a long step,
on the part of the Senator, from
distributing post-offices in re
turn for political support to
their sale for cash; but from
the standpoint of the man who
seeks the job it is not always
easy to make sure whether he
is paying the required money
Into the campaign funds of his
party or into the private peck
ct of some boss or person of SUI
perior influence who can give
the office or withhold it at pleas
ure. The plain fact is that
Senatorial and congressional
patronage is very bad business.
The function of aiding and adj
vising the Executive in the fill
ing of misunderstanding and 9th
err federal offices does, indeed,
properly belong to the Sena-
tors and Representatives from
the States and districts affect
ed; but to transform this func-
ton of giving advice into a the
DRY of patronage under which
Senators and Congressman
own the office and distribute
them for their own personal
benefit is nothing short of a
degradation and shame. I'm
provement can come about
through no change of the law
or of the mechanism OF govern
ment. 1t can only result from
gradually improved standards
of honor and rectitude in pub
lie life. And these, in turn,
can come about only with the
growth of intelligence and
right-nindedness among the
citizens of the country, and the
lessening of that kind of party
spirit which has been invoked
in the past as an excuse for
bad methods and a shield for
political rascality. From "The
Progress of the World" in the
American Monthly Review of
Reviews for December.

awful possibility accompanying
fate of Americanization on the

1t might occur to a disinter-
ested on locker that the news
paper brethren of "mergerite"
sympathies, are wasting
great deal of energy in the
campaign thus far advanced.
For several months they have
been hurting their vocabulary
at Gov. Van SAINT on the theory
that he was candidate for a
third term while the genial
governor never gave anybody
the slightest--hint that he
would be a candidate again.
Then they were sure he want
ed to be United States senator
and was working to defeat Sen
ator Clapp. A vigorous state
ment from the governor that
he would support the Junior
senator as he would Senator
Ne,son, left the kickers high
and dry once more. Now they
are telling what strong can
didate Collins would be if he
would resign from the supreme
bench. They will soon have to
be hunting up another line Of
defense. Meanwhile the PEG
pie are doing their own think
ing and will support the can
didate who has been right all
the time on the most important
issue before the people fear
less and impartial enforcement

DowlE ISSUES AN ORDER.

Following this order the usual force
of Zion guards was doubled, many of
them patrolling the outskirts of Zion

THE FRUIT GROW Frs.

The early settlers here a
good many of whom proPhe-
sled that this would never be

a little surprised at the strong
society of men interested IN
fruit raising for profit which is
now meeting here, says the
Minneapolis Times. Probably
good deal of the local atmos-
nhere of enthusiasm and per-
severance which marks the
Minnesota Horticultural soc1e-
ty may be credited to the 1ntlu-
ence of the agricultural college
and experiment station. Far
mers, like all other people
want to gkt as much for their
money ash possible. The agri-
cultural dlleges of the country
are working along. witars just
this idea of getting more re-
turns from the land in.:every
way and the farmers and fruit
raisers of the country are wide
awake at adopting new ideas.
Systematic agriculture is the
only kind of up-to-date agricul-
ture, and horticulture, as fea-
ture of agriculture, is pract1c-
ing more carefully every year
the study of the details OF pro-
duction. The time when every
farmer followed his own conve-
nience as to cultivating his
acres is almost gone. A "shift-
less" farmer in these days is a
rare sight. Competition is
sending him to the bottom of
the heap and some other man
is in his place. Farming and
fruit ruising, like other things,
are strenuous vocations; for
when the soil and the farmer
and the climate agree for one
whole year, there is no telling
what new bug or worm may
come in to be met by science
and exterminated by grit.
Since these are our own hor-
tiCu1turists who are meeting
here The Times hopes that
some time during the discuss
ion light will be thrown upon
our inability to produce, as we
did a few years ago, local grapes
that could be found in the mar
kets until after the holidays.
The delicious native grapes of
Concord and Delaware variety
are a product too much valued
not to be missed from their &C
customed month of market
Five or six years
ago we counted on these grapes
as almost winter fruit. Did
they appear under an alias
then; do the sun spots account
for their early disappearance
now, or is it only that populat-
ion and grape culture have not
kept pace? If the latter, the |
present large convention of |
fruit growers is a hopeful sign.
