The Thornless Cactus.

The desert and the cactus, taken
together, are the very symbols of
desolation and uselessness. The cac-
tus, with Its frowning thorns, would
seem to be the curse Of the desert.
No traveller from the east would think
that this unprepossessing plant could
be the means Of redeeming the des-
ert. Yet it is the life Of the desert.
It grows and thrives where nothing
else can live. The fierce thorns, the
barbed defenses OF the desert, with
which the cactus bristles, however,
merely conceal a succulent and nutri-
tious leaf. If the thorn could be
abolished, the forbidding plant would
become highly useful. It is the one
plant the desert produces in guam
titles.
Mr.. Luther Burbank, originator Of
the Burbank potato and numerous
varieties of flowers and fruits, has
now undertaken to produce a cactus
without thorns, and seems to be GER
tain of success. In the current Serb
ner's Mr.. w. S. HARDWOOD Of Mime
apolis, who is temporarily resident in
California, tells Of the success Mr..
Burbank Is meeting with in turning
the militant cactus into useful mem
Der Of plant society. We may yet
have cactus farms, and the desert may
yet be priced because it will produce
the cactus.
When, thru the dangerous cactus,
the forbidding desert can be made
fruitful, we shall have to be cautious
about declaring any part Of the earth
barren and useless. With mans
growing knowledge Of and power over
nature, plants and lands that were
once useless or dangerous are becom.

Where I may study the margin books "a
From nine o'clock till three.
There am free from the heat Of the day,
Secure from the winters cold;
Away from the plotters with schemes to air
And from those who like to scold.
I watch the "tyros'' come to 'tbite,,
And the losers play the game,
For the lure Of chance draws many men,
Like the story of ''tMoth and Flame,'' -

And guy the waiter in white.

Minneapolis and Reciprocity.

AS the republican national conven-
ton has left the subject, the questions
Of reciprocity and tariff revision will
come before the president and the next
congress for settlement. The platform
entrusts the disposition of those ques-
tons Ito republican president and
q republican congress-" In view Of
this action Of the convention and the
strong pressure that will be exerted
upon congress to take UP the tariff
again it is highly probable that the
fifty-ninth congress will seriously con-
slider projects for tariff revision and
reciprocity.
1t is indisputable that the Minneap-
oils congressional district Is over
whelmingly in favor OF reciprocity,
particularly with Canada. This city
Is located within few hundred miles
Of the great agricultural country Of
the Canadian west and understands
the development that Is going OH
there better, perhaps, than any other
city In the country. Thru our gate
ways pass the thousands Of Americans
who are each year finding homes on
the fertile prairies Of the coming
wheat country Of the continent, if not
Of the world. It is only natural,
therefore, that our men Of thought
and action should place a high value
on reciprocity with Canada.
Such city ought to be represented
in the next congress by a man who is
thoroly devoted to the principle Of
reciprocity and who enthusiastically
believes in its application to Canada.
A city that stands for reciprocity
ought to have congressman who will
earnestly advocate it and become a
| leader Of the movement. It Is true
that Mr.. Lind is a strenuous advo-
cate Of reciprocity with Canada, but
he is not Of the dominant party, and
has, moreover, announced that he viii
not return to congress. What this
district needs is a republican member
who will reflect the views Of the bust.

opportunity to promote the cause Of

gress depends largely on the persona
views Of the republican members. /
: therefore behooves every republican
district that believes in reciprocity tt
see that it is represented by a strong
man who will earnestly do all in hi
power to realize reciprocity.

Is the Church a. Failure?

Archdeacon Sinclair announces that
only Is per, cent of the population of
London attends church services, and
his stirring address at st. Sepulchre's
the other day voices anew the by no
means novel claim that the church Is
falling short in these later days of
adequately fulfilling it's mission. What
is true in London is true in the other
great cities of the world. A few years
ago church census was taken for
Paris, and the figures are not greatly
different from those just shown for
London. In New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago and in other cities in our
own country, the percentage of church
attendance is quite as small as in the
cities Of the old world.
Archdeacon Sinclair talks about
pagan London and, by indirection
at least, would lay the blame on the
people themselves, who do not take
ties offered them. Marie Corelli, re-
plying to him, speaks of the pagan
clergy" and says that the blame lies
at the door of the ministers, who are
''bon vivants,' and may be met every
where in the houses of the titled and
the rich, clothed in fine linen and
faring sumptuously and talking the
unsavory society scandal Of the hour.
While the problem is a difficult
one, we are not inclined to believe
that either the archdeacon or the nov
elist has stated the case quite correctly.
There never was time when the
bulk of the population Of the great
cities of the world was religious, while
the fox-hunting and wine-drinking
parsons have infested England for
centuries. In spite of these condi-
lions, however, great waves Of moral
| and religious enthusiasm have from
time to time swept over that coun-
try and the rest Of the Christian
world, carrying joy and peace to all
who came within their influence.

| It's average standards. If he fall be-

fulness is impaired and frequently
another is sought to fill his place.
The conditions described by Arch
deacon Sinclair and Miss Corell

and not causes. Whenever and
wherever a religious body revivifies

and untiring in its desire to help the
world, the world is ready to listen tc
lit and to follow it.

Business Conditions.

That the democracy would yield
again to the extremists and stand
upon platform of radicalism was
scarcely to be expected, If for no other
reason than that adversely is a great
teacher. Yet, until the long-contested
report Of the resolutions committee
was made public, there was an ele-
ment Of uncertainty. The convention,
tho evidencing his still potent in
fuence, has witnessed the passing Of
Bryan's predominance and the
squelching of Hearst; the squeezing
out of what might be styled the pro-
populistic, semisocialistic-m minded fac
tions, and the placing Of the direction
of affairs more into the hands of the
conservative and safer element.
Ma For the fact that the platform went
thru on final consideration without
a financial plank, men whose inter
ests lie in commerce and finance will
care little. Commerce has rarely
asked the democracy to formulate
new plans for it's guidance. A purely
negative or half-committal platform
is highly preferable to one carrying
such alteration Of economic thought
as appeared in 1896 and again in
1900.
Destructively bad was the other
leading factor of the week-the
change in the crop situation. To Fri
day before last the crop promise had
undergone no important change since
the June government report, but
heavy rains and floods have since
worked material damage in the south
west. Some exaggeration will doubt
less be shown, and with return to
seasonable conditions, the outlook
may not be so bad, yet the crop losses
are considerable. The railroads will
suffer a tonnage loss, not likely how
ever, to show UP on the early move

of the crop, months hence. Wall
street had q little boom on and traded
in 100000 shares one day. but the
Kansas news and reports of the back
ward condition of spring wheat sent
from Minneapolis, drew prices back
a point or two, for wheat was strong
and higher and it is contrary to ordi-
nary speculative rule for wheat and

The Cossacks and Russians ahead of him
