PHILADELPHIA should like some of
your readers to write an article comparing
the political ideas of Alexander Hamilton
and Paine and jefferson. l now find the
religious objections to Paine have disap-
peared and the objections now urged are
that he did so much good that they do not
like to compare him with the lesser lights
Hence we should take up him in the direc-
ton of human freedom. My thanks are due
to Prof. Morris Jastrow, Jr.. and Prof. Left
man, both of whom acknowledged Paine's
services and his right to be represented in
the Pageant. Yet neither Paine nor Commo
dore Barry was represented, but Lord Howe
and his Tories were.-J. B. ELLIOTT.

(By John +. C!arke.)

There is a real morality and pseudo
morality, both existing ana in working order
III the country.
When a preacher or an editor draws
severe face or dwarfed editorial in public,
we look for moral effort-and get it.
Ten or eleven times out of nine it is for
the purpose OF raising moral dust to cover
immoral baseness.
We have State Governors, who are so
overcome at the idea of the gambling in
stinct becoming epidemic, that they try TO
suppress a section of the evil SO that the
whole flood shall pass TO another and larger
section; and then the Governors run for re-
o ection and complacently listen TO the bet
ting odds in their own favor.
These great good Governors pass for
great statesmen. They do no. rise to the
height of obliterating poverty They do little
for the common herd but they do lot
for the select and elect. These great men
would probably fit the cracked and discard
ed mouds in which were cast the gods and
saints The scared seams and flaws of
cant and hypocrisy would fit to the persons
fit into the holes of that pantheon. Then
the preacher elongates his visage and de-
plores the increase of divorce. While he is
kicking up the dust on this question, doz-
en- other preachers are giving just cause
for the article under the sale grant allowed
by Jesus Christ
If Jesus Christ was ire model of the
church priest, perhaps he was crucified for
giving cause to angry husbands, and not by
fanatical Jews Men rendered frantic
might easily be mistaken for fanatics. If
preachers literally follow in the footsteps of
Paul and Peter, as they claim, then those
gents earned the hard knocks that they got

have been the result of seeing stars via

BLUE GRASS BLADE.
Our Goody-Goody Governors

We are exhorted to be like the saints. Let
us see what these saints were: Mark,
Jew by birth, a Roman provincial constable
and tax gatherer, a deacon of the Order OF
Sadducees; wrote Life of Christ" which
contained a genealogy, remarkable for the
anachronism and inharmoniOusness of de-
tail. To look at Mark, one would not think
him equal to the task, but the historian OF
another period declares emphatically that
Mark did it. Can you follow this saint?
Matthew, a Gallieean fisherman, knew
how to draw seines and spin yarns of his
master. Master and man are very shadowy
in history and in fact. Matthew is a Syn
optic saint, and corroborated the tales of
Mark and Luke which are still in need of
such attention. Matthew lied conscientious
ly to uphold his end of the Synoptical delu-
sion, and received the thanks of the Fathers.
Luke was doctor of medicine of the pre-
Aesculapian School. He was a faith healer
not that he healed faith, but that he made it
meet for healing. He matched genealogies
with Matthew, but Lukes had peculiarities
which afforded disproof of what he sought
to confirm. 1t was synoptically and diamet-
rically at variance with the ether affinity,
both in scope and conclusion. AS he failed
at the physicians trade, he took to book
writing and failed at that He was canon
lied and upheld by the Fathers. Eusebius
and Justinian agree that Luke was Syn
optic, who synoped at great rate. Would
you like to simulate this saint?
John agrees to disagree with the Synoptc.
AS no one would synope with him, he is in
a class by himself. His lies would not agree
John was a great favorite with Jesus but
became hot stuff in the end. He got into
an oil vat, and had foretaste of the sim
ners' hell. He is also backed and endorsed
by the Fathers.
St. John, the Baptist, the Foreteller and
Forerunner of Christ, baptized Christ after
the common formula, and lost his head to
Herodious, and therefore, refrained from
synopticing. His career seemed to end
with the loss of his head. Would you like
to live and die as this saint died?
st. Peter. He wrote some letters. and
gave advice to Timothy that is still follow
ed more than all of Luke's prescriptions
He was at variance with the writer Of Ec-
clesiastics. Solomon and Peter were anti
synoptics. Peter promised grandiloquent
phenomena and pyrotechnics on a grand
scale. The armament is to roll up as

heat This promise is said to still hold
good. It is being kept In cold storage Peter

UNUSUAL YIELDS
FROM new LAND
First Crop Surprised New
conner.
Sixty Bushels of Wheat, Seventy Of
Barley, l9l Sacks of Potatoes
Garden Turned into Expert
mental Farm.

A. S. Patton, who lives about ten
miles southwest of here, on the north
side the river, farming here for the
first time this year, has demonstrated
what can be done by intelligent work
ing of new land. He raised sixty BUSH
els of wheat per acre, seventy of bar
ley, while his oats went from 80 to 100.
From an acre of ground he took 191
sacks of potatoes, weighing from lo5 to
ITO pounds, which he sold for 70 cents, or
S143.O5 per acre. Cabbage, tomatoes,
cucumbers, beans and all garden truck
were grown with success. The cab
bage, which rarely does well on new
land, made heads weighing from eight
to twenty five pounds.
The potatoes were plowed in and re-
cieved no cultivation whatever after
ward. The soil, a sandy loan, was
loose, however, and the crop probably
suffered little by this seeming neglect
Mr.. Patton turned his garden into an
experimental farm. 1t was planted on
hillside, with the lower end in the old
Bonanza lake channel, with the water
always near enough to the surface to
keep the soil damp. By planting IN
rows up and down the hill he learned
what soil conditions were adapted to
the various plants, and next year will
plant in rows running the other way.
Those requiring excessive moisture, like
cabbage or beets, will be planted in the
channel, and those requiring little mols-
ture on the dryer upland.
A portion of Mr.. Patton's land sub
irrigates, and most of his crops were
grown on this kind. His experiments
on the dry land have tanght him how to
farm them, and he expects to secure
practically as good results, by careful
planting of crops adapted to the dryer
land, as on the valley land. He came
here from Kansas, and is familiar with
various soils and with dry farming to
some extent. He realizes that plowing
and seeding is not all there is to farm
ing. More depends upon the way they
are done, and the judgment used IN
their cultivation. He is more than sat
isfed with his first years success. He
has only three neighbors, Robert Rich
son, Wiley Wilson and S. c. Winters,
all of whom are doing well, Mr.. Win
ters had some of the finest produce ex-
hibited here Farmers Day, and promises
to do better next year.

TIMBER AND STONE ACT.
Important Ruling Affecting Entries
Made BY Interior Department.

An important order has been issued
by Secretary Garfield to the effect that
all entries made under the timber and
stone laws after December l will be con-
sidered by the department as null and
void. The order is sweeping and has
been isued to all land districts. 1t also
orders that no more entries can be made
until the government makes the ad-
iustments which are deemed right and
proper.
The new regulations entirely supplant
rules heretofore governing entries un-
der the timber and stone act. In very
few respects are they similar to the
former regulation. The right of entry
is confined to citizens or those who have
declared their intention of becoming
citizens; none but lands chiefly valuable
for their timber or stone are subject to
entry under this law, and no person
may acquire more than 160 acres of
timber or stone land. These features
aside, everything is changed; the method
of acquiring title is entirely changed,
the procedure, both on the part of the
entryman and the government is COM
plete innovation.
An entryman nnder the timber and
stone act, must, upon making applica-
ton for tract of land, file with his ap-
plication a sworn statement setting
forth that he has been personally upon
the land, found it to be chiefly valuable
for its timber, and must also give his
own estimate as to the quantity and
value of the timber thereon, together
with his opinion as to the value of the
land without the timber. This sworn
statement must be made before a local
land officer, United States commissions
er, Judge or clerk of county court in
the immediate vicinity of the land, and
when filed, must be accompanied by
the $40 fee required by law in all timber
or stone entries.

Denton Crowl Was Good.

All who failed to hear Denton Crowl
at the Auditorium Tuesday evening, in
his impersonation of Sam Jones, may
justly place themselves in the unfor-
tunate class. The lecture was humor-
Gus, but every story contained a point,
a sermon in itself. At times it abound
ed with rare eloquence. Mr.. Crowl
talked for eighty minutes, but it did not
seem half so long, and he could have
continued another hour without firing
anyone. Those present agree that it
was the best thing in the way of en-
tertainment that has ever been here. If
Mr. Crowl is sample of what is to fol-
low him, the course of five numbers is
entirely to short. He may or may not
have impersonated Sam Jones credita-
bly,, so far as the knowledge of the writer
goes, but it was a splendid portrayal of
southern manerism, and southern dia-
lect, and the lecture itsef was easily in
the dollar class. The attendance was
good, but not so large as the attraction
merrited. The next number be the
Colonial Saxaphone Quartette, on De-
cember 80.

Pardee Reported Frozen Todeath.

Walter Immieh, yesterday forenoon
received a telegram from Baker City
stating that it was reported there that
Walter Pardee had been frozen to death
in the mountains near Baker, and that
the coroner had gone for his body.
The message requested that his parents
be not notified until further word was
received.
Thursday Immich received letter
from Pardee written the Tth at camp
in the hills, which was mailed at Baker
City the 10th. The letter stated that
Pardee was prospecting in the hills and
that things looked bright for the find
ing of a rich mine. Pardee, G. w.
Beach and Mr.. Immich came here from
Connecticut a little more than year
ago. Pardee remained for some time
and then went west. He was clean
and capable young man and his friends
anxiously await the receipt of positive
information.

BAZAAR A SUCCESS.
Ladies Aid Society Treasury Richer by
about SLIGO.

The Bazaar given by the Ladies Aid
Society of the NJ. E. Church, Wednes-
day evening, at the Auditorium, was a
success in every way. The receitps
were about $3.50. The total collected
Wednesday evening was S154.05, and
some sugar and other supplies remained
on hand to be sold, which will bring the
proceeds close to $3.50. A large crowd
was present, much larger than it would
have been possible to serve in the church.
The Sweeetn orchestra surprised and
delighted those present by rendering
several selections near the closing hour.
All the booths were sold out clean, the
last effects of the fancy booth being
auctioned off.

Idaho Leads.

In agricultural products Idaho stands
first of all the northwest states, ac-
cording to a report of A. F.Hitt, spe-
cial field agent for Idaho, Oregon and
Washington in the bureau of statistics

agriculture.
Mr.. HIT was formerly state horti-
cultural and pure food inspector, and is
here attending the fair. When seen
at the depot this afternoon he produced
figures showing the average wheat
yield of the three states per acre.
Idaho ranges first with an average of
80 bushels, Washington was second
with an average of "a 1-2 bushels,
while Oregon's crop averaged % 2-l0
bushels. In spring wheat Idaho aver
aged27 bushels to the acre, Oregon 10
and Washington Is, with all other crops
in proportion. Capital News.
