The nation Is certlinly making prog
ress to insure International peace when
its secretary of the navy advocates the
construction of a 19,400-ton battleship.
The English leviathan. the Dread
naught, is Of $4,000 tons, but American
constructors are Of the opinion that a
battleship should have a larger carry
ing capacity if it is to be equipped with
12-inch guns such as form the Dread
naught's armament.
Congress was considerably surprised
when Admiral Dewey advocated 49,
O0O-ton battlcships, but this PROPOSE
ton Of Secretary Bonaparte's complete
ly eclipses Dewey's views. However,
there Is no longer skepticism when 1t
Is intimated that we are rapidly ap-
preaching the era Of the 20,O0O-ton
lighters. That day seems very near
In view Of the recent discussions.
With a battleship larger than any
other In the world aided to the Ameri-
can fleet, the big Stick" will seem less
ike metaphor, and we will be in po-
sItion to prove or disprove the claim
that the nation best prepared for war
Is best equipped to preserve peace.

litical reformers in so far as it does
not provide for civil service. That vas
the original intention /of the author,
but the senate saw fit to eliminate this
feature despite the fact that it had
the support of the country's CONNER
cial interests.
The feature of the bill that attracts
especial attention is the provision for
paying Uncle Sans representatives in
foreign countries straight salaries.
Heretofore the consular service has
been conducted on the fee system,
with the result that many inequalities
have grown out Of it. Under the new
plan the various offices will be classi-
fed, the fees collected will be turned
into the public treasury and the con-
suls and vice consuls paid salaries pro-
portiohate to the service rendered and
the responsibility assumed.
In striking out the merit provision
congress has greatly weakened this Inn
portant legislation. An efficient repre-
sentative Of the government at a for
eign port should not be subject to the
caprice of politics. Our relations
abroad are too important to be used
as political trading capital. and it is
unfortunate that congress has not
taken this view of it. However, the
bill Is a step in the right direction,
and out of its operation may grow a
sentiment in favor of a civil service
amendment.-Toled0 Blade.

A Sacred Festival.


Back in the dim vistas of the past, In
the shadowy archives of the worlds his
tory, is recorded upon the imperishable
pages of times great scrolls the story of
the religious festival known to the mod
ern world as Easter. Even before sacred
history recorded the festivals of the He
brew race the "feast Of the first fruits
was observed, and his in turn was fol-
lowed by the Jewish feast of the Passover.
With the introduction of the Gentle into
the Christian church the Passover chang
ed gradually into the observance of what
the church to-day denominates Easter.
In the ecclesiastical history, however,
Easter is recognized as the legitimate sue
cessor to the Passover, since the resurrec-
ton of the Christ took place on the first
day of the week following the c0mmemo-
ration of the great Jewish festival, and
the two were for a long time observed BE-
the Jewish branch of the church on tn,
same day.
The feast of the first fruits" doubtless
dates back to the first sacrifices by Cain
and Abel, by one of the sveet and perfect
fruits and grain of the field and by the
other of the smoking blood of a perfect
animal. The modern mind has difficulty
in grasping the distinction made by the
early man between such sacrifices, holding
it to be enough to sacrifice upon the altar
a share of the first fruits of the field as a
token of Gods participation in the daily
life of the individual. Later, however,
the two ideas of sacrifice became con-
fused, and it was deemed necessary to
offer in Precipitation to God the first born
of an animal or ever Of man, and thus
came the sin-offering and the scapegoat.
These ideas are incarnate in the Chris.
tan church to-day, for is not Christ "our

is our deliverance, as well as the propi-
tiation of God for our sinsY

The dairyman who is progressive con-
siders manure as one Of the profits
and assets Of farming, and is as care
frJ to preserve 1t and avoid loss Of
plant food, as to harvest and store q
valuable crop. The milk sold from the
farm carries away large proportions
of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
but the mill products are cheaper than
milk, consequently it pays the farmer
to purchase the cheaper materials and
sell that which brings a higher price.
Milk is a product, and Is presented to
consumers In a shape desirable for GER
tain purposes, being the result of a con-
version Of raw products into a manu-
featured article. With the advancement
of the fertility of the farm comes a
greater production Of the homegrown
materials used for feeding. As the
land increases in production the profits
derived are greater n the dairyman
becomes richer by virtue Of the fact
thai he is, through the agency of his
cows. a manufacturer instead Of a sell
er of raw materials. Before sending
his material. to market, to be sold at
a low figure, he changes its form and
character, thereby ~lessening its bulk.
and rendering it not only easier of
transportation, but more acceptable to
purchasers. The farm is also enhanced
in value by reason of its greater fer
tility, while the stock itself may be
gradually increased in number and
quality. The dairyman usually sells
nothing but milk and butter from his
farm, and he buys more than he sells,
his purchases being of the raw mate
rails, while his sales are of a manu-.
featured product. Unless he is care
less he will not impoverish himself. as
he has everything TO gain, with but
little to lose, although at times the
markets are unfavorable and his com
modities are depressed In value; but
his profits are not altogether In his
sales, but partly In the manure.-St
