Queer Freaks of Lightning.

A little after midnight Tuesday, the
people of Villa Grove were awakened
by detonation terrific beyond des-
cription. The town has been struck
by lightning several times in the past,
but none so severely as on this occa-
sion. Balls of fire were seen in sever
al houses but the full force of the blow
centered in d. l. Whiteman's house.
The lightning tore a hole in the roof

The Hum Of the Hive.


See that all colonies have queens
before it is too late.
If the bees are to be wintered out
doors use chaff or double walled hives.
A hive of bees will supply all the
honey the family needs and, besides,
pollenize the fruit. Nothing pays bet
ter in small way.
A queen bee lives from two to five
years, workers from fortyfive days to
six months, and drones seldom more
than five weeks.
There seems to be abundant evi-
dence that the Italian bees do work
more upon red clover than the black
bees, and therefore that they do have
longer tongues.
If bees are to be wintered in a cellar
put several pieces of carpet or similar
material over brood frames. No
cover is needed Light should be ex'
cluded from cellar. Damp cellars can
be keyt dry by aid OF lime. An oil
lamp will provide heat if needed and
a window or door opened in the even
ing will supply ventilation to reduce
a high temperature.

J. Hamilton Lewis.-The same con-
ditions which existed in Rome just be
fore the downfall of the empire are to
be found in the United States today
and unless reform is effected they will
have the same results. The monopoly
of Crassus in town lots in Rome and
the exclusive right TO dictate the price
Of farm products by the Fabii and
their successors. which produced riots
in the country and uprisings in the
city have their parallel in the corners
on the stock exchange and grain
houses OF America and in the monopoly
in oil and its elements. These methods
and the domination of legislative
bodies by these massive interests. the
corrupting of the assemblies of the
people and the defiling of the courts
have created revolt in the hearts
of the Americans and awakened an
insurrection among the citizenship.
These IL not abated by government ac-
ton will surely produce a parallel in
the results which befell the Roman
empire.

Recognize Republic

Secretary OF State Bryan has no
tilted the diplomats at Washington
that this country would recognize the
republic of China on April Sth, and
suggested that their respective ma
tons do likewise. 1t was a polite
and diplomatic move on the part OF
the administration; it all
possibilit for jcalyousy or suspicious
against this country.
The time for the recognition OF
the Chinese republic has been passed;
it should have come several months
ago, when the new government had
first established itself. The lack OF
recognition has delayed securement
Of the land that would have establish

THE extra session Of Congress IS

grcss from President to the pages

lation then there is something wrong
with the creed.
n is to be essentially a tariff re-
form Congress. This is the main is
sue, the one at stake and the one that
called for the extraordinary actions.
The President himself delivered his
message in person. The Congress on
both sides Of the Capitol met with
Democratic majorities and there is a
cabinet Of men formed who are class
ed as Democrats. There is no wall
to hinder. there is no excuse to be
made il the revision is not downward.
The people elected the working body
with this demand in sight. The work
is asked for by the majority and it
will have to be delivered.
Internationally there will be some
compromises. This will have to fol-
low, even with the demand at issue.
bur the new tariff will be passed,
some will be injured. but the ques
ton for the masses will at least be
given a fair test. The new Congress
is on its way.

Need of Mexico

ONE cannot but reflect, at the
present moment, how grave a disas-
ter for all concerned was the revolu-
ton which overthrow General
Porfiro Diaz,
1t was justified by its promoters on
the plea that the country was fit for
democracy and that the people at
large were DESTROYS of exercising
their political rights.
But the fact is that no gain in dem
ocratic evolution has resulted from
the movement. while on the contrary,
the country has been plunged into
chronic disorders. which. now at last,
it may be hoped. are about to end;
b~rigandage has taken a new lease OF
life: the finances of the government.
which had been carried to a high pitch
of prosperity under the administrati-
on of General Diaz, have been COM
promised wealth has been wasted: the
credit and good name of the republic
have been impaired; the investment
OF foreign capital has been checked;
thousands of lives have been sacri-
feed. and untold suffering and sorrow
have entered countless Mexican
lhomes. And all for what? Can any
lone name a single advantage to off
| set such manifold and manifest evils?
! The whole Mexican people must
make up their minds to a painful pro
cess Of reconstruction.
I We are afraid that the result OF the
experiment.. wherever the blame may
lie. will discourage any move for
some time to come in the direction OF
practical democracy. We said the
other day that the Madero admins
tration started IL with an honest
and sincere cndeavor to reduce its
theories of democracy to practice,
but whether the miscarriage wa due
, to the administration or to the Mexi-
can people. who failed TO appreciate
their opportunity. or to both, there
can be no doubt that the attempt did
fail and fall disastrously. Further ex-
perimcnts in premature democracy,
just now. might prove absolutely Ia
tai and complete the ruin which has
been begun.-Mexican Herald
