NATIONAL BANKS.

The "Money Question" is getting
interesting and important Who can
understand the disposition of the peo-
pie to act SO stupidity in such a vital
matter, as Tom Watson shows in his
article on National Banks? Can
We believe that an intelligent people,
who are also honest, will allow
certain class Of individuals to reap
such profits, without protesting
against it? But simply protesting
will do little good, if no practical
measures are taken to effect change.
This system of legalized robbery has
been growing up ever since the Civil
War. The Republican party was
the sire of it; and the Democrats"
party has been so completely emascu-
lated by its Tammany Hall and Wall
Street elements, associated with the
"Bourbons Z" of the South, that it has
been incapable of offering any effec-
tive opposition to this system of spolia-
ton; and the Populst party was so
unwise and unfortunate as to make an
alliance with this moribund "Democ-
acy," at a critical juncture; and now

THE GOOD CAN WAIT.

The person whose work counts and
bears the best and most lasting fruit,
is he who works for the right.
Men are often misunderstood and
repudiated by the generations with
which they live But if their deeds
have been righteous and their pur-
poses altruistlc, justice will ultimate
ly award the meads of praise.
Cicero said "The diligent farmer
plants trees Of which he, himself will
never see the fruits"
The onl y compensation he receives
grows out of the consciousness that
he has done his duty and that others
will reap good from what he has
soWn.
There is nothing so fckle as the
applause OF the multitude.
have known men to be the idol
Of one day, and execrated the next.
Temporary success-ephemeral re-
nown are too often bought at the
expense Of the conscience and the
public good.
This would be a great old world
IT all men were to follow the star Of
Rlght-dO their duty for duty s sake,
and leave to time the settlement

ADMIRAL CERVERA.

The death of Admiral Cervera,
which occurred a few days ago, at
tracted comparatively little attention
among the younger generation. Doubt
less good many people in this coun-
try had to stop and ask themselves
who wa Cervera? Few drawer men
have lived in the last century. But
he was loser.
1t has been eleven years since the
little Spanish fleet left It's native
shores never to return. Many of the
officers and men were killed or
drowned in the engagement with an
overwhelming force, many were
wounded and comparatively few
escaped unhurt. Admiral Cervera
must have known that he was going
to his doom. But he never shirked
his duty. His was a hopeless cause
from the beginning. No one knew it
better than he. With fleet of four
fighting ships and three smaller crafts,
all poorly equipped and no matches
for the powerful armada he encoun-
tered IN Santiago harbor, he faced
the heavy odds courageously and made
the best of hopeless cause.
His feet was shot to splinters in
the battle that went into history to
mark the abolition Of Spanish suze-
ranity in the Western world. It was
bitter sorrow to a proud man vainly
striving to uphold the military honor
of a proud nation. And yet he did
all that was in the power of mortal
man to do under the circumstances,
and the splendid way in which this
splendid gentleman conducted himself
pending the peace treaty and after he
returned to his native land was the
source of admiration to the rest Of the
world.
While prisoner OF hostile coun-
try Admiral Cervera was treated with
every consideration, and many honors
were rendered him when he was being
held In captivity by the people Of the
United States. He had represented
the Spanish government at Washing
ton and made many friends at the
national capital. He was a good
soldier, man Of courage and of
honor.
To give some idea Of the spirit of
the man, when he was prisoner at
Annapolis several dinners were given
in his honor. At one Of these an
officer in the American navy said to
him:
Admiral, what one thing struck
you more forcibly than any other at
the battle of Santiago?"
The distinguished prisoner smiled
and replied: II think it was that
eight-inch shell from the Oregon that
raked my ship from stem to stern.'
A man who could give such a reply
under the circumstances, and in the
best OF humor, was naturally favor
lite among the naval men with whom

THE LONELY LITTLE BOY.

The little boy whom you forget
To play with when the days are
fair,
The child whose hopes are sinless yet,
Who kneels to lisp his evening
prayer,
Will soon leave off his childish ways
And learn the things that men must
learn;
Why do you waste the precious days
That never, never can return?
You never lead him by the hand,
Nor make his little joys your own;
Ambition sends you her commands,
And he is left to play alone;
He never climbs upon your knee
Delighted at the long days end,
To find that you have time to be
His fond and sympathetic friend.
You can never aft, I'd to waste
A precious hour amusing him;
The prizes after which you haste
Are always far away and DIM
You must ever be pressing on,
Forgetting, while you strive and
plan,
How soon his childhood will be gone,
How quickly he will be man.
You never pause with him to hear
The breeze that sings among the
reeds,
You have no time to give the dear,
Sweet sympathy for which he
pleads;
You never rush with him in wild
Pursuit of fairies through the glen,
Yourself again a careless child,
Freed from the cares that worry
Have you no treasured memories
Of one who gladly played with you,
Before you had been robbed of ease,
And when your cares were small
and few?
All, will you rob him Of the joy
Of looking back along the years
When he has ceased to be boy
And Duty's call rings in his ears?
The little boy whom you forget
To play with when the days are
fair,
The child whose thoughts are sinless
yet,
Who kneels to lisp his evening
prayer,
Will soon leave off his childish ways,
And you will sit somewhere alone
Regretting precious wasted days
And joys that might have been your
own.

nomination was unanimously ratified

"Dry farming" is a misnomer In
the first place it is not dry" farming
but method by which land which
is ordinarily dry can be kept moist
by observing certain simple rules of
physical law. When these natural
rules. by which moisture can be kept
within soil properly cultivated, are
understood. the. raising of crops from
this land is no longer questioned. A
movement is on foot to designate this
system as Scientific Farming"
Prof H. NJ Campbell. South Da-
kota. made the first effort to form
ulate a scientific system, which is
now attracting the attention of agri-
culturists the world over
Plowl Plow! Plow! That's the
Campbell system" in nut she'll The
farmer makes use of all the natural
moisture in the earth by turning the
damp undersoil TO the surface, and
by keeping this method in operation
the season through, the farmer has
furnished sufficient plant food to pro-
duce fine crops. The Campbell sys-
tenn" is best adapted to garden or
intensive farming. The plowing cost
is too great on wide areas. Of course
for successful results a Sufficient
amount of rain must have fallen dur
ing the wet season. else the under
soil. as far as the plow can reach,
would be too dry.
Prof. w. II. Olin. agronomist of
the Fort Collins agricultural college,
Colorado is the originator of the
thorough tillage system" of dry
farming. He has embodied the best
points of the Campbell system" and
has evolved some additional practical
methods. He believes that the sci
ence is still in its infancy. His sys-
tenn includes, as necessary requisites
for success, tillage of soil, seed Sc
lection, harvesting, crop rotation and
live stock.
