iIas Got 1t Bad.

One of our dashing young bucks who
Is dead 10 lore is the author of the fol.
lowing letter to his best girl:
Dearest my love for you is stronger
than coffee ar the kick of COW. When
think Of you my heart fops up and
down like chprn dasher, and visions OF
doubt creep over my soul until feel
like an Old cheese board made full OF
holes by shippers. Sensations of eX-
quisitc joy 60 through mo like coherents
Of ants through an army cracker and
cRper over my heart like young goats
over stable roof. l feel as though
could lift my self with my boot-strars to
10 the height OF Il church steeplc. As
a goslin swimmeth in a mud puddle, so
do / swim in sea of delightfulness
when you are near me. My heart oscili-
ates like shaker in tanning mill, and
my eyesst,nd open like cellar doors in
a country town. If my love is not repro
Gated | piue away and die like poison
ed bed bug, and yop will catch cold
over my grave.-EX.

MOST DREARY SPOT ON EARTH.
The "Pawpaw Patch" the Last Rest
Ing Place of the Convict.

The most dreary spot in Jefferson
City is the convict graveyard, or the
"Pawpaw patch, az it is called at the
prison. This bit of ground dips ito a
hollow near Lincoln Institute. Mt a
stone marks q grave. A few ltorny
locusts and several wretched looking
trees are natures bestowal on this un.
inviting spot. 1t has been burying
ground for convicts for rs years, and
how m my of them have been buried in
the small lot, the Lord only knows. 1t
Is said that many OF the bodies were
"resurrecied' for dissection at one time
or another. This may or may MT be
true, Doubtless dead convict would
sleep as well there os in more preten-
tious cemeteries owned by the city ard
government some blocks north of the
| convict lot, for death briggs all to
common level, but appearances are
against such conclusion. IF the state
ever spent one dollar on tho convict
burying ground, no one can recall the
fact. Even for the looks of things, if
no other reason Oh earth, this dreary
spot should receive little attention.
There is always some idle labor at the
penitentinry and it would cost the state
but little to give soale evidence that a
dead convict was oncc'a' human being.

Reports from Washington are TO the
effect that no mattcr what the House Of
Representatives may do, the Senate will
not give los consent TO the enactment of
any tariff measure having in view trade
reciprocity with Germany.
During eleven months Of 1905 our ex-
ports principally Of breadstuils and
meats-to Germany amounted in value
TO slS6OOOOOO Our imports from Ger
many during the same period were valued
at Sll3OOOO0O These figures show q
balance Of trade IN our favor TO o very
considerable amount and 70 the rabid
proteotionist there is nothing so dear as q
favorable trade balance. Trade is trade
TO reasonable people. no matter which way
the balance may incline, and is good trade
so long as il is profitable; but the protoc-
ZIONIST secs good in trade only so long as
people or countries sell more than they
buy.
But oven for the preservation Of a favor
able balance Of trade the "stand patiers'
in Congress will not consent to any tariff
revision in the direction Of reciprocity.
They see only the one fact that Germany
is a liberal customer of this country. They
do not realize that German customers are
FESTIVE under the weight of our tariff taxa
ton, which hampers them in selling to this
country, and are insisting upon reprisals
in the way of German taxation on Amen-
can trade, now that It has become appar-
ent that our heavy tax upon German
trade is not to be modified.
Still the protectionist shriells: "Touch
not the tariff" Also, he rises in wrath at
the suggestion that Germany may tax our
trade. Free trade for this country with
other countries is his contention, but no
free trade for other countries with the
United States.
Thus the protectionist's attitude threat
ems tho prosperity of our foreign trade
To the reasonable proposition of reciproc-
ity and favorable tariffs on both sides he
pays not the slightest heed.

Judges Favor Reform.

We are sure that the opponents of cleo
ton corruption in Delaware were cheered
to the depths of their hearts and encour-
aged to renewed efforts by the remarks of
Chancellor Nicholson and Judge Pennewill
ON the anti-bribery movement inaugu-
rated by the Sussex Republican Of George
town, as printed in Every Evening yes
terday.
Chancellor Nicholson condemned the
evil in convincing terms and expressed his
hearty sympathy with the reform move
ment. His high character and eminent
judicial position give great weight to his
words.
Very aptly Judge Pennewill referred to
the fact that the anti-bribery pledge which
people are asked to sign embraces the Ian
guage Of the State Constitution, which
instrument he took an oath to support
when he assumed his Judicial Office.
Volumes Of words could not express his
sentiments more effectively.
The judges are with the people in this
grand work. Let it be continued with
renewed energy, therefore, and in a spirit
of confidence that earnest efforts in the
right direction win make the next election
in Delaware absolutely free OF the faint OF
bribery and corruption.

Value ofIrrleatlon.

The value Of irrigation in retaining
vast areas Of arid and improbable lands
and bringing them into a state Of produc-
tivity was Interestingly set forth by Mr.
O. j. Blanchard Of the National Geological
Survey, in a recent address before the Ma
tional Geographic Society of Washington.
He declared that n miles Of main canals
Of river size have been built during the
three years in which the United States
reclamation service has been organized
and that irrigation canals long enough to
span the earth twice and representing an
outlay of S90,O00,0OO had been built dur
ing the past quarter century. "Evcry
year" he said, "this area returns a harvest
valued at more than Sl5O,O0O,0O0, and
100000 people dwell in harmony and
content where only a short time ago the
wilderness roigned."
The reclamation service has built "a
miles Of irrigation canals and 1856 miles Of
bitches. u has constructed and has in
operation $50 miles OF telephone, 1875 miles
of road in canyons involving deep cuts;
II has excavated 100000 cubic yards Of
material and one-half mile Of tunnels.
Work is now actually going on in eleven
different projects. The reclamation service
has laid 10000 cubic yards Of concrete,
i2,O00cubic yardsof rprap, 100, 900 square
feet Of paving, 10000 linear feet of sheet
piling and has driven 10000 feet Of bearing
piles. Il has purchased 1870, 900 pounds Of
railroad iron, 100000 pounds of structural
steel, 100000 pounds of castiron, $4,000
barrels Of cement and l,750,OOO feet of
lumber. The sawmills operated by the
reclamation service cut 100000 feet Of
lumber.
This Is the kind Of work that viii "make
two blades Of grass grow where one grew
before" and also cause the desert to
"blossom as the rose"

"lhis tariff on art is the greatest handi-
cap the government can put on the progress
of art in this country" says Kenyon Cox,
who, being an artist, knows what he is talk
ing about. But the government assumes
that Mr., Cox and other American artists
cannot get along in their profession with
out government aid, and so it imposes a
tax ON foreign works Of art, in order TO
give Mr.. Cox and his colleagues "protec-
tom from foreign artists, which they do
not need and do not ask for.

II sounds odd to hear from the lips Of a

ever that Gov. Pattison is president of a
