THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. "If you "turn over a new leaf" or two (make good resolutions for 1902), do not break them. However, do nothing of the kind, except after mature reflection and consideration. The Gazette heartily congratulates The Atlanta Age upon the political elevation of its editor and proprietor to the chairmanship of the state republican committee of Georgia. Col. W: A. Pledger, our esteemed confrere and friend, is an up-to-date gentleman and republican of the "old school." It would seem that President Roosevelt is in favor of Vice-Chairman of the national republican committee Henry C. Payne's "hobby"—the reduction of the southern states' representation in national republican conventions—from the fact that he has appointed him postmaster general in the face of recent and repeated newspaper interviews on the subject which has seemed nearest his heart for several years past. UN UNWOMANLY AND UNCHRIS TIAN ATTACKI Mrs. W. H. Felton, the white woman who seeks distinction in making unwomanly and unchristian attack upon Prof. B. T. Washington, does so at a sacrifice of truth and honor and of her own personal dignity. It is a pity, too, that the little matter of Mr. Washington's call on the president of the United States has ever been mooted and perverted by a corrupt public press. We say of Mrs. Felton, as we have said of others, had all this hurrah never begun we would have heard nothing from this woman upon the subject. It is well, therefore, that people should fully determine when and when not to give utterances to the public. It is very evident that a majority of those who have expressed themselves have betrayed a serious lack of discretion. Mrs. Felton is extremely immodest and proves it most conclusively when she feigns to know the Negro so well by contact and association as to be able to pass so readily upon his merits and demerits. What in all the world does she know about the race that she presumes now to speak with such flippancy about them? The great women of America find subjects more congenial to their taste about which to write than the one so viciously treated by Mrs. Felton. Nothing has been so vitiating and nothing so demoralizing to the public mind than the Roosevelt-Washington incident. Mrs. Felton might have spared herself the humiliation and saved her sex from the shameful reflections that have recoiled upon them. Compared with what should be known of the Afro-American there is a vast degree of unpardonable ignorance existing on the part of the whites, and notwithstanding this fact, Mrs. Felton calls forth with drawn sword and indignant wrath to strike the Negro in his helplessness. But what does this woman know about the colored people more than what is already known to the country? Cultured and refined ladies are slow to express themselves before the public and through sheer modesty choose to be silent in regard to Negroes. They leave it to Ben Tillman and men of that rank to vent their spleen. Mrs. Felton shows neither scholarship nor good judgment in handling her subject. The subject, however, may be palatable to one of her grade, and in her eagerness to be heard, she simply exposes herself to the ridicule of intelligent and right-thinking people. No gentleman, and a lady far less, will at any time descend to the level of a blackguard in traducing and striking a man that is down. American women with their many superior advantages as such, should be as ready to handle great state questions as the ablest minds. Hear this woman speaking against the education of the blacks! She essays as though crime is known only among Afro-Americans. Says she: "Crime has not abated, criminals have not decreased and the ballot has been turned into merchandise. There is a movement to quietly withdraw the fatal gift for the well-being of both races. If not withdrawn in the south, then colonization, exportation or extermination will be the sequence within the next 50 years." Now if it be true that crime has not abated, that criminals have not decreased and that the ballot has been prohibited to ignoble purposes, is Mrs. Felton so stubbornly ignorant of the real situation and the facts in the case that she would shift the sins of the bad and illiterate white men of the south upon the Negro only? Are not southern white men guilty of crimes, have they not in a thousand instances provoked crime and in THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1901. another thousand instances arrested, criminated and condemned to prison innocent black men for the things for which they should not be held answerable before the law? Is Mrs. Felton so blind to every sense of justice as not to know that hatred and prejudice to the southern Negro have doomed him to penitentiaries and prison cells? Upon a moment's reflection does she fail to realize that in her own land of Bibles and schools, the Golden Rule, the Sermon on the Mount and the constitution of the fathers have all been mocked, nullified and prostituted in furtherance of the end to perpetuate the oppression and the degradation of the poor and helpless black man? Does she mean as she bends her heart in humble prayer to God to justify the hellish wrongs that have been so wantonly heaped upon helpless innocence during the many years of cruel torturing and oppression to the Negro? In her unblushing hypocrisy does she mean to mock God and plead His justification of the awful, bloody and nameless crimes which the southern white people have been guilty of perpetrating against an enslaved and outraged people? As if God Almighty were asleep, she presumes to ignore every injunction of duty which confronts her own obdurate soul and demands the exportation or extermination of a race of people whose rights and liberty are as sacred as her own. With no compunction of conscience and without the blush of shame upon her cheek, as though the Negro had no God, she entreats the crucifixion of black humanity to gratify the vengeful lusts of southern inhumanity. But God will not be mocked, and as sure as He has spoken, so shall His mandates prevail. That there are good, Christian white people in the south as well as in the north cannot be denied. There are in the southland a kind, a humane and Christian white people who care for the Afro-American in his hard and suffering condition. They desire the welfare of the race, and it is upon this class that the country, the race and the nation must depend for the final restoration of peace and happiness and the triumph of right principles under our government. If the Afro-Americans were even what Mrs. Felton represents them to be, there could be no excuse for the terrible attitude which she assumes. Let us thank God that God lives and that in the midst of the people we find that class who plead the cause of righteousness and justice. NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE. To Support the Republican Party in State and National Campaigns—Officers Elected—Next Place of Meeting. Chicago, Ill.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the Afro-American League of Illinois, on last Monday evening, it was decided and agreed upon to organize a National Afro-American league, the object of which is to arouse an interest and organize republican clubs among our people throughout the United States and support the republican party in each state and national campaign. Each club with a membership of not less than 25 members will be entitled to one delegate at the annual convention. Subordinate clubs will have the following officers: A president, first and second vice-president, secretary and treasurer and an executive committee of five. All clubs are requested to send a list of the names of the officers, particularly president and secretary. The next meeting of the national league will be held August 7, 1902, at Springfield, O. The following officers have been elected: John G. Jones, president, Chicago; Hon. H. C. Smith, Cleveland, O., first vice-president; W. A. Pledger, Atlanta, Ga., second vice-president; J. E. Hawkins, Seattle, Wash., third vice-president; James A. Guy, Topeka, Kan., fourth vice-president; A. M. Thomas, Buffalo, N. Y., fifth vice-president; George L. Knox, Indianapolis, Ind., general treasurer; W. Calvin Chase, general secretary, Washington, D. C.; J. L. Thompson, assistant secretary, Des Moines, Ia. DINES SOUTHERNERSI Georgia Afro-American Planter Entertains Guests—Does Not Eat With Them. Atlanta, Ga.—Charles Mitchell, a prosperous farmer of Smithville, near Atlanta, has caused much comment throughout the state, favorable and otherwise, by having to dine at his home a party of the best-known white people in his community. Mitchell is a shrewd planter, has a large farm and is very popular among the white people. He recently decided to give a dinner to his white friends, illustrative of what he produced on his farm. Among those invited were Mr. and Mrs. Orrie Thompson, Mr. W. W. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Burton, Mr. and Mrs. Milton A. Smith, Atlanta; Mrs. Cherry, Macon; Mrs. Howel McAfee, Mr. J. B. Edwards, Dr. J. W. Clark, besides a number of children. Mitchell did not sit at the table with his guests, but played the host by directing the waiters, whom he had imported from Smithfield. At the conclusion of the dinner the visitors examined the well-filled store houses of the host, and returned home expressing themselves pleased with his hospitality. "Major" Taylor to Go to France. New York City.—Victor Breyer, editor of Le Velo, the daily cycling paper of Paris, who was the manager of "Major" Taylor last year in Europe, has returned from Worcester, Mass., the home of Taylor, and announced that he had concluded a contract with the "Major" to go abroad again this year on terms similar to those of last year. Taylor will ride in France and Germany during May and June next year, but will return to America in time to ride on the national circuit that begins early in July. He will start for England early in the spring, so as to get acclimated and in form before the racing begins. Taylor is signed to ride 12 races during the months of May and June. He is still practically champion cyclist of America, having won two out of three trials with Kramer, who was announced as the champion for this year. New London, Conn.—Austin Rice got the decision over George Dixon here on the 19th. They fought 20 rounds. Rice had Dixon nearly out in the 19th round. FEAR IN TURKISH SOLDIERS. They Are Pitilessly Condemned by the Sultan Upon the Slightest Manifestation. The sultan's decree of exile against the officers of the army that broke the windows of the palace they were in in trying to get out at the time of the recent earthquake in Turkey brings up the interesting question of how far such acts of fear should be punished. In fact, our Paris contemporary, La France Militaire, mentions an officer of high rank who has maintained that such displays of alleged cowardice are no more to be reprehended than lying. This officer, who is himself a model of military scrupulosity, admits that the man of war ought, of course, to respect his word and never fail in honor, but there are occasions, he points out, where it is not only praiseworthy not to tell the truth, but where it is actually indispensable to conceal it, if only to deceive the enemy to give confidence to one's own troops, says the Army and Navy Journal. Napoleon never had any seruples against proclaiming himself victorious, even when he had been half beaten. He did not fail in his bulletins to swell his effects, to give inexact figures of his losses and of the losses of the enemy. He never hesitated to present matters in the light that would be the most favorable to the deceiving of the world. In the matter of bravery he had himself given many examples of signal courage, and while valuing highly this soldierly attribute he did not place it in the front rank of military virtues. He knew that bravery suffered eclipses, that the nerves had a part in the attitude one shows under fire and that there are moments when the most intrepid feel "their old carcass shake," as one old warrior used to say. So this French officer takes up the cudgels for the Turkish officers, and inveighs against condemning pitilessly those who yield to a passing seizure of spirit attributable to some physiologic crisis. He cites an incident at the military camp at Chalons, where an officer was killed instantly by a stroke of lightning, and another officer, witnessing it, was so overcome by the awfulness of the event that he fled and hid under a bed. Not even the intervention of brother officers was sufficient to make him come out from his retreat. The colonel was so moved by this dismay of fear that he had the man dismissed. While freely admitting the susceptibility of men to sudden impulses, in a sense beyond their control, still, severe discipline, bringing with it the fear of punishment, can create in them habits of body and mind that in time come to be second nature and instincts in a certain sense new. The danger of yielding to these momentary feelings lies in the results that may flow from a panic and the force of example. One man by losing his grip before the enemy may endanger a whole army. It was probably with this feeling the sultan found his officers' state of mind in the face of an earthquake reprehensible. Still there are facts of seeming cowardice that are really the manifestaions of the most commendable prudence. One can conceive of no better time for a person to seek to leave a building than during an earthquake, and unless the act of the Turkish officers compromised the safety of others it is hard to see the justice of the sultan's order of exile. It may be that this punishment will in the end be injurious to the Turkish army, for there is always a clearly marked line between cowardice and prudence. One needs but to read the accounts of the foolhardiness of British officers who in South Africa thought the highest duty of the soldier was rashly to disdain cover and make himself an unprotected mark for the enemy's bullets. One of the excellent results of the Boer war has been to dignify the style of fighting that Washington tried in vain to beat into the thick head of Gen. Braddock before he fell at the hands of the Indians. LOSE MONEY BY THE TRIP. It Cost the Government $27 to Re cover from Abroad a $12 Bundle of Clothes. An American died abroad and a bundle of clothes belonging to him was sent by the American consul to Marcus Hook on the British tank steamship Vedra. When the latter arrived one day lately the captain notified the local customs authorities to take the property off the vessel. It was understood that there was no claimant for the clothing, and that after being appraised it was to be sold at auction in this city. Seemingly it would be a very simple matter to give an inspector 40 cents for a round-trip ticket to Chester and let him bring the stuff up with him. Government red tape, however, intervened, and when the bundle was finally safe in the big building at 134 PUZZLE A woman in a long dress with a large sword stands in a river, surrounded by trees and a house. "I AM COMING, FATHER." WHERE IS FATHER! South Second street, the expenses in identical thereto will easily eat up five times more than will ever be realized from its sale, says the Philadelphia North American. In the first place, the treasury department has an old revenue cutter in these cutters, the Washington, which did duty as a boarding officers' boat in New York bay until it had outgrown its usefulness, and is now figuring in a similar capacity at this port. When Collector Thomas was notified that there was business for the department down the river, he promptly ordered the Washington made ready to bring up the clothing and deputized Boarding Officer Rauch and two assistants to see that there was no neglect of ceremonial forms incidental to the transaction. The revenue cutter, not being accustomed to long voyages was all day getting to Chester and back. She consumes much coal, and burned up some five tons of it. When Mr. Rauch took charge of the effects of the dead American he discovered that they could not possibly be worth more than $12. In addition to the coal, his own salary and that of his assistants figure in the odd trip. The captain of the Vedra was amazed at the pomp which characterized the transfer of the "bloomin' bundle of rags" from his vessel's hold to that of the Washington, and remarked that he would be "blarsted" if he didn't relate the incident in his own country if he was lucky enough to return there. Little attention, however, was paid to his remarks by Mr. Rauch, who considered him an extremely ignorant person regarding treasury department procedure. It was late in the evening when the Washington returned to the city. The bundle of clothing remains to be appraised yet, and maybe a few more dollars will be tacked on to the growing expense. GOLD WASTED BY TONS. Chemist Affirms That Present Extraction Plans Lose 97 Per Cent. of Metal. A newly-discovered process for extracting gold from ore publicly announced recently affirms that the present system causes the loss of about 97 per cent. of the gold which might be extracted. The scheme would not attract the attention it has done in the city were it not for the fact that Willard Teller, brother of United States Senator Teller and Colorado's greatest expert, has announced himself satisfied that the process is scientific and feasible for the treatment of large bodies of ore, says a Denver telegram to the Chicago Chronicle. The invention is called the Wynn process, after Prof. Wynn, the alleged discoverer. Briefly, it consists of pulverizing the ore, treating it in a tank with chemicals and then extracting the gold by fire. In all chemical processes heretofore invented the gold is precipitated or held in solution until extracted by other acids. In the Wynn process the gold rises with other matter as a scum. On the safe in the office of Mr. Teller is a piece of ore which, according to skilled assayers of Denver, carries one to three dollars in gold to the ton. Of this ore 1,000 pounds were treated the other day. The result was the recovery of $60 worth of gold. At this rate the ore carries $120 to the ton. The fire test loses $117 upon every ton. "I will say that I have gone into this experimentation closely and conscientiously, and have reached the bottom," said Mr. Teller. "Every phase of doubt has gradually disappeared, and I know the process is a success. I do not say that it will apply to all ores, or that its effects are uniformly the same. I do not claim that we know accurately the specific treatment that will extract the values upon any set of samples that may be submitted, but we have proceeded far enough to convince us that we are now ready to pass from the stage of mere experiment to the stage of actual results upon a large scale in the field." John Hays Hammond, the largest mining expert, has this to say of the process: "I have heard of a hundred processes like this, and every one of them failed. Do not consider it seriously." "Did you notice how she jabbered away when she sat there between those two men?" "Goodness, yes! It made me think of a tongue sandwich."—Philadelphia Bulletin. Strictly True.

Tea seeds resemble small hazelnuts. They are sown in beds to grow thickly together like cabbages. There are eight patent medicine firms in this country which annually spend $500,000 each in advertising. Over 4,000 sheep were brought recently from Montana to Lansing, Mich., to be fed there on sugar beet refuse. A Chinese manuscript in the Paris Library proves that anesthetics for surgical purposes were used in China 1,700 years ago. Thousands of apparatuses for making coffee have been invented. The patent office is packed with pots, etc., some of which cost $25 apiece. Dredging rivers in gold-bearing countries for gold has become a great industry, and dredges of wonderful power and capacity are being built to dredge 60 feet below the water line and to reach 60 feet above it, along the banks. It is stated that every year England loses a tract of land the size of Gibraltar, and that on the east coast alone the annual loss equals in territory the island of Heligoland. In the last 100 years an edge of England equal in area to the county of London has been submerged. The enormity of our salmon output this year has played havoc with the British fisheries, for in Canada the law does not permit the use of traps. In Washington and Oregon traps are used, so that the American fisheries are able to furnish salmon to the Canadian canneries for two and three cents a fish, where the canneries used to pay the Canadians from ten to 15 cents. PEOPLE OF EVERY NATION. The Population of the United States Is Made Up of Natives of Every Clime. In June, 1900, there were in the United States proportionately a few more females than in 1890, a greater proportion of the population was native born, and there were also proportionately more whites; or, stated conversely, there were proportionately fewer males, fewer foreigners and fewer blacks than ten years ago. During the past ten years the number of women has been growing slightly more rapidly than the number of men; the native born population has increased at nearly double the rate of increase of the foreign born, the foreign element having increased at less than one-third of the rate of increase of the foreign born during the preceding decade, and the number of whites has increased to quite an extent more rapidly than has the number of blacks. These are the main conclusions derived from a study of the figures presented in a recent census bulletin, states the Chicago American The total population of the United States on June 1, 1900, was 76,303,387, including persons enumerated at military and naval stations and naval ships abroad and in Alaska, Hawaii, Indian Territory and Indian reservations. This great total consisted of 39,059,242 males and 37,244,145 females—a majority for the males of 1,815,097. Expressed differently, of each 10,000 inhabitants 5,118 were boys and men and 4,882 were girls and women. Ten years before there were 32,315,063 males and 30,754,693 females, or of every 10,000 inhabitants 5,124 were males and 4,876 were females. The females have thus increased only a very little more rapidly than the males. In 1900, in 10,000 inhabitants there were 236 more men than women, whereas in 1890, in the same number of inhabitants, there were 248 more men than women. Expressed in percentages, there has been an increase in males of 20.9 per cent, and in females of 21.1 per cent. Of native born persons there were 65,843,302 and of foreign born 10,460,085 in 1900—that is, of every 1,000 persons in 1900 863 were born in the United States and only 137 outside the borders of the country. In 1890, on the other hand, there were 53,761,665 native born and 9,308,091 foreign born, or of every 1,000 persons 852 were native and 148 foreign born. During the ten years the native born increased at nearly double the rate of increase of the foreign born, the former increasing 22.5 per cent. and the latter only 12.4 per cent. If we exclude the foreign born counted in Hawaii, Alaska and at military and naval stations abroad, in the United States itself the foreign element increased by only 1,091,729, or 11.8 per cent., whereas during the preceding decade it increased by 2,569,604, or 38.5 per cent., that is, during the last ten years the foreign element increased at less than one-third of its rate of increase during the preceding decade. In absolute numbers there was an addition to our native born population of 12,081,637 and to our foreign born of 1,151,994. There are 1 Japanese, 2 Chinese, 3 Indians, 116 negroes and 878 whites in every 1,000 of the population. The totals of the different classes are 66,990,802 white persons, 8,840,785 persons of negro descent, 119,050 Chinese, 85,986 Japanese, and 266,760 Indians, or a total colored element of 9,312,585 persons. Electric Motors. The great objection to electric motors—that they will not run far enough without recharging—is said to be overcome. Recently in England a circuit of 94 miles was run without recharging. It was done with a battery of 42 four-plate cells, with a capacity of 180 ampere-hours. The carriage was a four-wheeled dogcart, with two motors of two and a half horse-powers each. The secret of the battery which enabled it to make such a record was that in going down grade the motors were reversed, thus making dynamos for charging the accumulators. In this way the current was not only saved, but a new current actually generated, rendering the battery stronger at the bottom of the grade than it was at the top.—Detroit Free Press.

He is the son of ex-Senator Bruce (deceased), of Mississippi, and nephew of L. A. Wilson, esq. (deceased), of this city, and was chosen on his merits, having shown himself to be one of the most polished orators and ablest debaters Harvard has had in recent years. His majority over his opponent was 169 in a vote of 369, an emphatic indorsement of his character and capability. Harvard is not the first northern university to confer its highest class day honor on an Afro-American student, but its action at this time when such strenuous effort is being made in the south to revive race prejudice is highly significant. It remains to be seen whether southern newspapers will throw any fits over the occurrence and demand that all undergraduates from the south shall withdraw from Harvard. As there is no political campaign proceeding and no one has to be elected by "firing the southern heart," the event may be allowed to pass unnoticed. The incident cannot fail, however, to impress the southern mind with the truth that the antics perpetrated in the south over the Booker Washington dinner made no impression in the north. Young Bruce's mother, now connected with Tuskegee institute, was a Miss Wilson and taught for many years in Mayflower street school. Patronize those who ask for your trade in our paper.

INGENUITY THAT AVAILED NOT Tricks Resorted To by Soldiers Desiring to Desert That Failed to Free Them. To desert from either the army or the navy is not the easiest thing in the world, and even when accomplished the culprit lives in daily fear of being recaptured and sentenced to a heavy term of imprisonment. Therefore the devices employed by some deserters are as ingenious as they are exciting, although they cannot always be said to be crowned with success, says The Regiment. For sheer audacity the case of an Irish soldier who deserted in a south coast town some years ago would be hard to beat. Just at that time a number of desertions had occurred in the neighborhood and the authorities were therefore unusually sharp to prevent further offenses of this nature. But the man in question was dissatisfied with soldiering and, having a number of friends in the town who were disposed to help him, and being possessed of an unusually large modicum of pluck, resolved to delay his return to civil life no longer. One morning early he slipped out of barracks and made his way to a friend's house without being seen. Arriving there, he shaved off his mustache, and, donning a policeman's uniform, boldly promenaded the main streets of the town. He was, of course, missed in the barracks and knew that the surrounding country was being scoured in hopes of finding him. On one occasion his sergeant came up to him and asked him if he had seen or heard anything of a missing man, and he, of course, replied that he had not, but he would keep his eyes open. For more than a fortnight he preserved his disguise without it being penetrated even by the police themselves, and then he calmly left the town when the hue and cry had subsided somewhat. Nevertheless his enterprise came to naught, for he was arrested in trying to work his passage back to Ireland. Scarcely less audacious was the ruse employed by another dissatisfied son of Mars, and in his case, likewise, it proved futile. He happened to know that a certain publican in the town was in anything but affluent circumstances, for he visited the house regularly, and from remarks dropped at odd times discovered that the publican was heavily in debt to a Scotch spirit merchant. One morning as soon as the publican opened his doors the soldier arrived, after having first disguised himself with a beard and wig and donned civilian attire. With him came a friend who agreed to act as a representative of the law, and he promptly told the astonished publican that he had orders to leave a man in possession unless the sum owing to the Scotch spirit merchant was paid to him there and then. The publican, of course, could not pay, so the deserter was quartered upon him and lived in his house and at his expense for more than a week before the deception was discovered. Perhaps the most successful deserter—for a time—was William Conrad. Through one of his comrades he heard of a man whose son had gone to Australia gold mining and had apparently appeared, for nothing more had been heard of him, though the parent still believed he would see him again. Conrad, therefore, hit upon the ingenious idea of leaving the army by stealth, and, going to the man, informing him that he was the missing son. As his knowledge of Australia was considerable he lost no time in putting his plan into execution and the parent, believing in him despite the supposed alteration in his appearance, provided him with a home and money galore, a commodity he confessed he lacked. But unfortunately for him at the end of 18 months the real son turned up and what followed can better be imagined than described. Stars and Stripes in Cuba. One thing which pleasantly surprised Gen. Wood during his recent tour of inspection in Cuba was that wherever he went the Cuban and American flags were invariably twined together in the public decorations. In some towns were to be seen specimens of the work done by the children, among which were drawings of two flags, the stars and stripes and the Cuban flag, twined together or side by side. These were to be seen in drawings on paper, and in one town, where the mayor was taken completely by surprise and was mortified to find that he did not have time to properly prepare for the reception of the governor general, was to be found on the blackboard of the school room fine specimens of drawings of the two flags together. The drawings were at the head of the room, and all the children were facing them.—Army and Navy Journal. How Far the Telephone Will Carry. The postal authorities at Liverpool have just completed a series of experiments with the telephone to determine its value for long-distance conversations. It has been found possible to carry on a telephonic communication with Paris, a distance of 489 miles, or more than half way from New York to Chicago. Further south than Paris one speaker could only be heard in Liverpool under exceptionally favorable conditions. One result of these experiments has been the abandonment of the scheme to attempt telephonic connections between London, Turin and Milan. These cities have been found too far apart to be embraced in a telephone circuit.—Chicago American. Do Not Note the Speed. It is one of the peculiarities of travel by balloon that you do not feel anything; all is still with you, no matter how fast you may be going. You see, you are riding with the wind; you move as fast as it moves; you are part and parcel of it, whether you wish to be or not. It takes you in its embrace so firmly yet so softly you do not know it is there. You may be in the teeth of a hurricane, but you never know it; all is calm and placid with you.—Science. Ban on Lord's Praise In Minnesota they have just barred the Lord's Prayer out of the public schools. The constitution, comfortingly declares the Chicago Record-Herald, continues, however, to permit its use in the home.

USEFUL OLD AGE. No Sign They Are Worthless When People Reach an Advanced Stage in Years. Some people think because they are old that they are worthless, says the American Queen, and not trying what they ean do, give themselves up to idleness and self-indulgence. This did not John Locke, for he began his “Fourth Letter on Toleration” only a few weeks before he died. The fire of Galileo's genius @urned to the very end. Sir Edward Coke spent the last six years of his life revising and im- proving the works upon which his fame now vests, John Wesley, only the year before he died, wrote: “I am now an old man, decayed from head to foot. . . . However, blessed be God! I do not slack my labors; I can preach and write still." We can all think of old people whose age was as graceful as it was useful because they were unlike the lad who wrote home from school that he felt “a growing indisposition to every kind of exer- tion.” Cato was 80 when he learned Greek, Sophocles wrote “Oedipus” when more than 80, and Goethe fin- ished “Faust” when 80 years were passed.

Messrs, Oxnard’s and Cutting’s Views nthe Subject, (anhe fohowmg editorial appeared in the New York Evening Post of Decem- | ber 12 last, and as every household, in fact, every man, woman and child is interested in sugar, it being one of the most important articles of daily food, our readers will thank us for reproduc- | ing this highly-interesting editorial: _ ‘The Evening Post bids the heartiest welcome to every American industry ‘that can stand on its own bottom and make its way without leaning on the poor rates. Among these self-support- ‘ng industries, we are glad to know, is the production of beet-sugar. At all events, it was such two yearsago. We publish elsewhere a letter written in 1899, and signed by Mr. Oxnard and Mr. Cutting, the chiefs of this indus- try on the eastern side of the Rocky mountains, showing that this was the happy condition of the trade at that time. If parties masquerading as beet- sugar producers are besieging the president and congress at this mo- ment, and pretending that they will be ruined if Cubau sugar is admitted for six months at half the present rates of duty, their false pretenses ought to be exposed. The letter of Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting was probably written for the purpose of inducing the farmers of the Mississippi valley to go more largely into the cultivation of beets for the sugar factories, This was a laudable motive for telling the truth and show- ing the large profits which awaited both the beet-grower and the manu- facturer {f the industry were persever= ingly and intelligently prosecuted. To this end it was pointed out that farm- ers could clear $65 per acre by cultivat- ing beets, and might even make $100. But in order to assure the cultivator that he would not be exposed to re- verses by possible changes in the tar- {ff, they proceeded to show that the in- dustry stood in no need of protection. The beet-sugar industry, these gen- tlemen say, “stands on as firma basis as any business in the country.” They point out the fact—a very important one—that their product comes out as a finished article, refined and granulat- ed. It is not, like cane-sugar grown in the West India islands, a black and of- fensive paste, which must be carried in nvagons to the seaboard and thence by ships to the United States, where, after another handling, it is put through a costly refinery, and then shipped by rail to the consumer, who may possibly be in Nebraska, along- side a beet-sugar factory which turns out the refined and granulated article at one fell swoop. Indeed, the advan- tages of the producer of beet-sugar for supplying the domestic consump- tion are very great. We have nodoubt: that Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting are within bounds when they say that “sugar can be produced here cheaper than it can be in Europe.” The rea- sons for this are that— “The sugar industry ts, after all, merely an agricultural one. We can undersell Eu- rope in all other crops, and sugar is no ex- ception.” It follows as neturally as the mak- ing of flour from wheat. If we can Produce wheat cheaper than Europe, then naturally we can produce fiour cheaper, as we do. But the writers of the letter do not depend upon a@-priori reasoning to prove that they can make sugar at a profit without tariff protection. ‘They cae to the fact that under the MeKin- ley tariff of 1890, when sugar was free of duty, the price of the article was 4 cents per pound. Yet a net profit of $3 per ton was made by the beet-sugar factories under those conditions, not counting any bounty on the home production of sugar. They boast that they made this profit while working under absolute free trade, and they have a right to be proud of this result of their skill and industry. Many beet-sugar factories had been started in bygone years, back in the sixties and seventies of the nine- teenth century, and had failed, because the projectors did not understand the business. Since then great progress has been made, both here and abroad, in the cultivation and manipulation of the beet. What was impossible thirty years ago is now entirely feasible, ‘The industry is already on a solid and | enduring basis. There are factories in | the United States, these gentlemen tell us in their letter, capable of using | 350,000 tons of beets per annum at a Profit of $3 yr ton, and this would make a profit of $1,050,000 as an in- come to be earned under absolute fres trade. It must be plain to readers of this letter, signed by the captains of the beet-sugar industry, that the people in Washington who are declaiming against the temporary measure which the president of the United States urges for the relief of the Cuban peo- ple are either grossly ignorant of the subject, or are practising gross decep- tion. The tenable ground for them is to say: “Other people are having pro- tection that they do not need, and therefore we ought to have more than we need.” This would be consistent with the letters of Messrs. Oxnard and Cutting, but nothing else is so ee penne eiegne yt MRE re SF 8 His Potnt of Vantage. “You said you were a guest at the @nner party where this army officer is said to have exhibited marked in- dications of intoxication?" “Yes, judge.” “Did you see anything that would lead you to believe that he was drunk?” “Yes, judge.

Rockefeller, jr., was the principal speaker at the annual din- ner of the Young Men's Bible Class. Mr. Rockefeller, who has only been married a few weeks, made so bold as to talk of women and mothers-in-law. He was the last speaker, but he was loudly applauded, Mr. Rockefeller told this mother-in-law story: “A young man and his wife had lived for years, and not always pleas- antly, with the wife's mother. At last the old lady died—or, at least, they thought she had died. The pall- bearers carried her coffin down the front steps and one of them slipped. The coffin struck a tree, the lid came off, and then it was found that the mother-in-law had not died at all, but was only in a trance. “Well, she lived for some years after that, and then she died again— this time permanently. And as the pallbearers approached that same tree at the foot of the steps the young man stopped weeping, turned to the man who had slipped, and whispered: ‘Re careful, Sam; don't slip this time.’” Bet 2m.
