The sworda.h senson.

From this time onward the sword fish will live precarious life, for this noon the first of the sword-fish fleet got away, the schooner Valentinna, which fitted out at T wharf. Another schooner is slated to start tonight, and in a few days a good sized fleet will be patrolling the waters all the way from Edgartown. Block island, on the south, to Cape Shore on the north.
 The territory embraced is somewhat more extensive than usual on account of the backwardness of the season. This means that the fish are not get ting into the more southerly waters ss early as customary. The swordfish are harpooned. and many exciting con tests have been waged between men in dories and the fish with the sharp point.-Boston Transcript.

FOR OLD PEOPLE.

After reaching the age of forty the human system gradually declines. The accumulated poisons in the blood cause rheumatic pains in the joints. muscles and back. These warnings should be promptly relieved and serious illness avoided by using the following pre- scription which shows wonderful re- suits even after the first few doses and it will eventually restore physical vigor:
 "One ounce compound syrup of Sar- saparilla; one ounce Toris compound; i; half pint of high grade whiskey. This to be mixed and used in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bed time. The bottle to be well shaken each time" Any druggist has these in- gradients or he will get them from his wholesale house.

AUTOMOBILES AND THE
TARIFF.

The automobile industry is new
one in the United States. Only a
few years ago nearly all the automo-
biIes in use were imported. But
under a Protective Tariff we are
now exporting automobiles TO a
large extent, and the industry in
the United States has become one
of the first magnitude. Leading
automobile authorities estimate that
there is to-day invested in such plants
in the country $500, 900, 900, and
that at least 200, 900 persons are
employed in the production Of
automobiles or their accessories.
The automobile makers are paying
to the railioad of the country from
S25, 900, ooo to $50, 900, 900 year
for carrying freight, and they con
sumo annually over s6o, 900, 900
worth of rubber, iron, steel and
aluminium. There are in use in this
county approximately $50, 400
automobiles, and last year I8o, 900
cars were produced with an ap-
proximate value of $24o, 900, 900.
1t is estimated that there are over
1000, 900 vehicles drawn by horses
daily in the United States. In the
course OF time these will practically
all give way to the use of the auto
Hobile in one way or another. This
is an industry worth building, up,
and it would moi be In existence in
this country to any considerable
extent except for the Protective
Tariff. Even an agricultural state
like k-nsas uses 10, 900 automobiles,
all Of which have been purchased
within three years.-The American
Economist.

conquered them and they and tkeir
former Spanish masters still show
the defects which a system of
slavery always produces Self
government, such as we have, is
not possible except where the peo.
pie are individually self ruled and
where the people are intelligent
enough to understand the tenef-
cenoe of law and the necessity for
it. This is the great lesson the
Mexican people have been learning.
So far as the feeling against the
United States is concerned, it is a
pity that the Mexican people cannot
understand the real situation. The
United States does not covet
Mexico. The United States and
Mexico as separate countries can
De OF very great use to Zach other;
each has what the other wants;
trade between the two countries has
grown immensely in the last decade;
but the two races are different; the
prevailing religion is different; the
problems of government are differ
ent; the Uni'ed States has troubles
enough of her own. Whether we
ever could really conquer Mexico is
question; but we don't want to
conquer her. AS neighb ors the two
people can be of great use to each
other; as parts of one sovereignty
they would only irritate each other.
Diaz knows the facts; Diaz under
stands the needs of Mexico; Diaz
loves his country.
1t is believed that the present
troubles will soon be ended.

Democratic tariff bills of the past
third Of century, or who have read
of them, know the spirit in which
the average Democrat approaches
that big question. VIM. R. Morri-
son, long the chairman of the com.
mittee on Ways and Means, wanted
to revise the tariff by cutting off a
certain percentage from each sched
ule, regardless of the changes in
conditions which may have taken
place since the act was framed. The
country rejected the "horzontal'
tariff idea. The Mills bill of 1888
pleased the country so little that it
turned Mills mentor, Cleveland, out
of power in that year. When the
Democrats regained power in 1892
its Wilson, German tariff of 1894
was st;gmatized by Cleveland as
meaning ''party perfdlty and party
dishonor." The country had an
even worse opinion of it, for, in the
congressional election of the latter
year, it drove the Democrats out of
power, and they were kept out until
this year, when, that episode being
forgotten by hundreds of thousands
of the voters, the Democrats were
allowed to regain control of one
bran h of Congress. 1t is we'll for
tho country to know beforehand
what to expect from the Dem mocratic
House when it begins to leeislate.
Business wants a rest, but it will
get none if the d. mocratie party
can prevent 1t. The industrial ma
chinery of country Ct 90, 900, 900
busy people Is necessarily rather
widely extended and delicate, and
any tariff changes will disturb it.
The republican party's purpose
always has been to make the re-
visions as intelligent and as well
balanced as possible, and also 10
make them only when the industrial
conditions change over wide area.
Now, however, when business is
just getting adjusted to the tariff
alterations of 1899 the Democrats
propose to tears all the schedules up
again.

MEXICO.
kansas City Jourra. =

The grim old warrior, statesman
patriot and genius of Mexico should
have in the present crisis the hearty
sympathy Of the United States and
all her citizens. He deserves it for
many reasons. In the first place,
it was barbarous America that
started the trouble. As long as
human beings are burned to death
by mobs in the United States, the
United States is not at liberty to
throw the word "barbarous" at
anybody. 1t was an American
mob that generated the Mexican
outbreaks.
In the second place, Mexico. the
United States and the world owe
an immense debt of gratitude to
Diaz. when he came into power;
Mexico looked back over centuries
of slavery and oppression as sub
ject country, and as an independent
power over seventy years of insur-
rection and bloodshed. 1t was a
bitter and discouraging past. Diaz
saw that there could be no progress
without peace; he established and
preserved peace.
Before Diaz-insurrection, inva-
sion, bloodshed, anarchy. After
Diaz-peace and order. Under
Diaz public credit has been estab-
lished; brigandage has been rooted
out; life and property have been
safeguarded; education has been
provided for; sanitary conditions
have been established; yellow fever
has disappeared; a magnificent
beginning has been made toward
the development of wonderful
natural resources. Under Diaz
Mexico has accomplished more in
every line of useful human en-
deavor than in her whole lifetime
before.
Under the peculiar circum mstances
and conditions it took a genius and
a patriot to accomplish all this.
The people cannot be made over
in day. The effects of centuries
Of ignorance, superstition, violence
and oppression cannot. be wiped
out in lifetime.
Diaz governs many millions of
people who are still children. The
descendants of the Aztecs and the
Toltecs are in many resi- ects an
admirable and attractive race; but
they were oppressed and abused
for many centuries after Cortez

while the population of the city
has materially increased. The last
census for Kansas shows an in
crease of about ISL, 900, but all OF
these have gone into the cities and
towns and the number of farmers
now in Kansas is actually less than
it was ten years ago.
These conditions are not likely to
change. In fact, it is possible to
predict with certain degree of
accuracy that the demand for farm
products as we'll as the price Of farm
land will never get any lower in this
country. These things then present
series of conditions which demand
consideration, and the only solution
that is offered to the problems which
have always confronted the farmer
is to be found in the reduced cost of
production, rather than increased
valume.
This is just what is meant by
intepsiye farming. Heretofore, we
have farmed by the mile. We must
now farm by the acre. We mus
not only do this but we must farm
every acre on every farm, and we
must SO manage these acres thai
they will produce the maximum
crops at the minimum cost of pro
duction.
The purposes of life on the farm
are first, to make money; second,
to make life worth living, and third,
TO avoid drudgery. When these are
simmered down thev all amount to
the same thing. In order to make
money the Kansas farmer of today,
who lives on high priced land, must
study every ways and means. 1t
has become question of working
with the brains instead of working
with the hands. Only & prosperous
country can afford the trained in
telligence or education of its peo-
pie. Poverty is at once helpless
aud ipdolent. 1t has been stated
that the ancient rich Roman agri.
culture declined so that bushel OF
seed only returned four bushels of
crop, and that this period in the
agriculture of the Roman people
was shortly followed by the Dark
Ages. The Dark Ages still exist IN
Russia and India, where there are
more people 60 hungry each year
than live in the United Safes.
1t is not likely that we are in
danger of returning to the Dark
Ages Immediately, but we are up
against problem and serious one
which the farmer must solve. We
must either produce our food sup
plies in this country, or buy th:m
from others. Our lands are broad
enou h and rich enough to support
many times eur population. We do
not get the results we should from
the acres under cultivation, and we
do not cultivate all the land that is
really available. On every farm
there is more or less of waste land.
Either brush patch which has
never been used by anything but the
little piece of swamp
land which could be drained, or
wide margins that are left around
the fields along the fences that are
seed beds for obnoxious weeds.
These can be brought under cultiva-
tioD and each bring its return. The
question of seeds is of vital i'm
and 1t is matter of easy
demonstration that higher quality
of seeds will produce greater yield
in the harvest wheL other things are
equal.

ALBERS BITTEN BY

The following appearing in the Her

concerns the famous trainer who is to

week:
Few II any of those who attended

Witnessed a near tragedy, and that it
was only the rare presence of mind of
the performer that saved him from a
horrible death. AS it was, It became
necessary to summon surgeon to at
tend to the injured man.
The incident happened near the
close Of the first performance as Herr
Albers was finishing his act with the
10 big bears. When Albers was wrest-
ling with one of them, the animal sud
denly gave low growl and the next
second sank one of his long teeth at
least two inches into the right leg of

Shaking of Dry Bones.
"Such has been the past history and
experience of labor. But, as we walk
through the valley of human struggle
today, like Ezekial of old, we behold
the shaking of the dry bones. Labor
has commenced to stir itself. Flesh
and sinew to be used in its own de-
Tense has commenced to clothe the
emaciated forms of those who toll.
Strength has come to labor as it has
developed one after another its ele-
ments of strength and power. First
its industrial arm, through organiza-
ton upon the industrial field, for hav
ing learned that they could treat with
their masters collectively better than
individually unions and labor organiza-
tons were formed by the workers,
and to such organizations many owe
Improvement in their conditions.
But labor has at last become con-
scious of it's possession of another arm.
And there has been q still greater
shaking of the dry bones, for labor is
slowly awakening to the consciousness
of political power and the necessity
for political action. But as a child
learning to walk it has many times
stumbled and fell in the making use
of this power. Men oftentimes select
their political parties with as little
discrimination as they select their
gods. Men will bow down before gods
of wood and stone and pay them their
devotions.
Before Party Tin Gods.
"Why do they do so? Because OF
ignorance. Men today just as blindly
bow down before a little tin god of
party and at the ballot box kindly
sacrifice themselves and all they hold
dear for the same reason that the
idolator worships his craven image, ig-
norance. But with clearer vision and
ripper experience they have commenc-
ed to sense the true line of action.
They, the workers, are awakening to
a realization that the earth should be
a heritage for ALL But such can never
be when the masters privately own
and control the means whereby we
live Therefore, there is dawning on
the vision of those who labor the ne
cessity for owning collectively the
means of life. And to secure this the |
workers of the world are uniting in |
