THE FRENCH FOURTH.
simil.ritie. in tho Holidays of the
sister Republicn.

Blister HepuUHCns
The French Fourth Of July, coming as
1t does on the 14th, of July. recalls to
both Frenchmen and Americans the date
Of the destruction of the Bastile and the
generous republican sentiments that at
the time yibrated between the two conn-
tries. Just as the Declaration OF lnde-
incidence was acclaimed by Frcnchmen IN
those early days, so in America the news
of the destruction of the Bastile was re-
ceiyed with hurrahs of rejoicing as new
declaration of the rights of man.
Like our own Fourth, the French l4th
| comes in the hot month of July, when the
great cities are deserted by the posing
| fashionables and are in the full posses
sion Of the great mass of average demo-
cratic citizens. AS on our own Fourth,
| II IL a day of iced refreshments, with
the streets and houses decorated with all
kinds of festive flags and bunting. AS
with us, there is the smell Of powder In
the air. pandemonium of explosions in
the streets, and everywhere the small boy
with his crackers, cannons, drums, horns'
flags and lanterns.

ments his windows with Venetian Ian.
| terms, flags and bunting. Here. again,
the colors are the same-red, white and
blue. salvos of artillery announce the
dawn: the bells are rung In the church
towers Of all France; the marines of ev'

guns while In each city, town and village
as the sun rises they chant:
Domino, salvam fac rempublicam!"
In city, town and village the trumpet.
ers salute the day in the open squares
and the hot sunlight of July falls on q
population proud to be republican.
In Paris the fete opens on the night
| of the 18th with immense torcblight pro
cessions of choral, patriotic, gymnastit
and shooting societies, led by brass bands
that play the patriotic songs whose words
are known to all-the "Chant du Depart,
the "Marseillaisei" the mothers of Al
SAGE" and Returning from the Review
With them the multitude sings itself into
sort of drunkenness as the grand ole

woe to the III advised swell who dares
to smile mockingly! Within the past five
years men have been half Killed for moth

walks the streets of Paris for one night
in July. There are fierce words for chill

A Terrible pre.entment.

In ten years, in ten cities Of the Unit.
ed States, the casualties Of July were
as follows:
Persons killed, 1,1O0.
Persons injured, $500.
Fire loss, S5,659,00O.
This is terrible presentment. 1t In
dicates that the Chinese idea of patriotic
display. as employed by Americans, is
sanguinary in the extreme.
There is no sense in such celebrations
Of the great day. Patriotism surely Is
something more than desire to explode
powder and make loud noise. Yet We
seem to believe otherwise.
All over the country there goes up
demand for sane celebration of the ma
TONS birthday. 1t will win in time, and
when 1T does, there will lie no innocents
slaughtered, lockjaw will find few vic.
Tins and the day and night will not be
hideous with the boom and crackle and
splitting of cannon. frecrackers and rock

Some "Captnins of Industry"
The Beef Trust is just as good as
any other trust The methods of all
trusts are the same. They are all actu-
ated by the principle of monopoly,
which is to lower the cost of its product
and increase the price of 1t at the same
time, and that this end justlfies any
means tending to bring it about. The
men who manage the beef trust, the
men whom Mr.. Roosevelt is now de-
nouncing as prisoners and thieves, are
the same men whom he has lauded as
great captains of Industry and as
"tl,e strong and forceful men" who
have won success in business.

1t is the general opinion among hen
men that the hen that hides her nest
is more successful than the hen that
does not. Should hen hide her nest
and come off with large brood OF
chicks she is held up as being all right,
but nothing is said of the thousands of
hens that hide away and are never
found again. This probably gives rise
to the saying that the hen that hides

A Republican r.rln Reform.r.

A Republican TariM Reformer.
Former Congressman George N. Foss
Republican Of Massachusetts,, and a
would-be tariff reformer, who has Just
returned from European tour in the
course of which he made a special
study Of the NATTER declares that his
travels and observations strengthened
his convictions as to the pressing need
of immediate tariff reform and recip-
rocal trade treaties with other nations.
lie sees dangerous competitor to the
United States In the shape of Germany,
whose commercial development and pro-
gressiyeness in general is in keeping
with the wonderful advancement al
ready witnessed by the twentieth cen
fury in various parts of the globe. Mr..
Foss says:
I'VE are confronted by a condition In
Europe, and we must adjust our tariff
to meet this condition. If we wait too
long, we stand in grave danger OF los
| ing many of our best markets. The
stand pat argument will not avail
when the crisis comes, and there will
be crisis unless we avert it, just as
surely as there is great, progressive
country called Germany. If l were
asked to sum up my conclusions, based
on my observations abroad, l would
say, first, prepare to meet maximum
and minimum schedules, and, second,
prepare to pass reciprocal trade treat
les. The first preparation should come
at once, and the second by the next
Congress"
| The Boston Advertiser predicts that
] Mr.. Foss will again try for Congress
sional .honors in the Eleventh Massa-
chusetts District this fall, making his
campaign on the tariff issue. 1t might
be a good thing to have man of his
stamp in the lower house, but, II elect.
ed, Mr.. Foss will have to turn to the
Democratic party for effective aid In
bringing about such tariff reform as
the exigencies of the times clearly de-
mand In the interests of the American
people. He will never find 1t among
the '.standpatters' or trust agents of
his own party.

The price of clover seed has been
known to influence the area sown. Some
times failure to get stand is attrib-
utable to the price when ranging from
So to $40 per bushel. No failure to get
a stand ought to attach to climatic con-
ditions so long rs there is tendency
to economic in the amount of seed used
because of dear seed. One ought to be
honest enough with himself to point
out why he made a failure.

Red raspberry plants Should be taken
from a young, healthy bed. Plants
from an old bed are less vigorous and
more liable to be diseased. The prop.
er distance between the rows is seven
feet for garden culture. and eight feet
for field culture. The plants should
be set three feet apart with two plants
in every hill. This will assure better
stand and will also give double the
crop the second year because they have
double the amount of canes. Always
