A Personal Matter.

A Personal Matter.
A citizen said, with an ominous nod,
"My fancy it once used to. please
To believe that our nation might walk,
safely shod,
With gold on pathway Of ease
I honestly thought that my reasons were
small
For needing a far-distant row.
Those views on the fight must quickly
recall.
It's personal matter just now.
II joked at the kaiser and smiled at
his fame,
And sneered at the methods he'd use,
As he turned forth his people like
pawns in game.
A game he was certain to lose.
I thought to keep CLEAR Of the sorrow
and strife,
Though didn't precisely see how.
That was long, long ago, in the old easy
life.
It's a personal matter just now.
1.-THE insult was flung in tho face Of
the world
That Honor can never condone,
And Science, degraded, to slaughter has
Z hurled
The loved ones Of friends-and our
own.
The battle is on, and each man far and
wide
Stands forth with reverent vow.
The strife is no sport Of ambition or
prids.

II the following on the subject:
I'VE have rarely seen legislators fan
into q moro glaring error. or trot out
lamer logic, than did some OF the sena-
tors in their remarks on Saturday In
opposition to Mr. Sherman's molten to
do away With the odious ticket OF ad-
mission system during the inapeach-

linghuysen's objection that II the doors
were thrown open the people OF WASH

court opened and monopolise the seats,
leaving to the people Of the country no
chance whatever. rest on . basis en-
tirely worthy the excellent reputation
Of that gentleman. Indeed. In practice.
the very reverse OF his theory 10 true.
The people of Washington have, ~ .
more Interesting business to attend to-
and they have neither the time nor the
inclination to rush in hours before the
court opens ana hold the seats against
all corners. On the other hand, the peo-
pie Of the country at large are tenn.

in the sole occupation Of seeing sights and
killing time. and they are the very ones
fitted by both taste and circumstance.
to avail themselves Of the privileges
AFFORDED by open doors. AS it is now.
many strangers are deferred from COM
Ing to the city to attend the trial be-
cause OF the dimcufty and uncertainty
attending their efforts to secure tickets
Of admission.
I'm fact, mono Of the reasons 30 far
advanced In the support Of the ticket
system are sound. It Is contrary in
spirit and practice to the genius Of our
institutions.. repugnant to the feelings
to corruption and favofftism and often
sively unjust in its operations. AZ the
trial IL conducted in the name Of all
the people OF the United States, any
Of them have an equal right with the

Frslinghuysen remarked, the Capitol
does not belong to the people Of Wash

mere temporary occupants or agents by
favor Of the people. and when they un-
dertake to say which OF their properly
behaved and well disposed principals

places. and erecting hundreds Of sign
posts, to give directions and distances
to the watering places. is an interest
ing and practical project recently un-
dertaken by the geological survey
This project involves also the work
of making accurate maps showing the
locations of watering places, of prepar-
ing guides describing them and giving
the distances between them. Of select
ing well sites, and Of developing water
ing places in localities where water is
most needed and where the geologic in
vestigations indicate that underground
supplies can be obtained. It is expected
that this work will help to expedite the
discovery and development of the rich
mineral deposits in parts of these re-
gtons. It will. of course, also be valu-
able in other respects.
In recent years the water-supply
biologists of the survey have develop
ed trustworthy. methods of locating
ground water in arid regions from sur
face indications, and Of estimating the
depth to water and the approximate an
nual yield Of the underground reser-
voirs. These methods viii be applied

took steps to allay unnecessary appre-
hension, to promote economy and thrift
to secure fuller conservation of farm
products and Of foods. and to insure
increased production OF all essential
agricultural commodities. The many
agricultural agencies of the nation be-
gan to direct attention to these prob

the department. The increased need of
this nation and OF the world for food
from our farms and the Importance Of
greatly increasing production were en-
phasized. In the south, in particular
where effective work had been done for
years to secure a diversified agricul-
ture and greatly to increase yields of
staple commodities, and where unusual
opportunities to increase food products
were presented. a special campaign was
conducted by experts Of the department
in cooperation with agricultural coll

animal diseases.
Appeals were sent to the south to
