Holmes points out the importance of thepresent ability of the farmer owing tohis improved financial condition to makehis own choiea of the crops he shall raiseHe is in position therefore to select themost remunerative and to keep out of therut in which many farmers are found
It is not to be taken for granted how-ever that all fanners are making moneyor that nil farm lands have advanced inprice Certain factors such as badweather the ravages of insects or theavailability of cheaper lands depress theposition of tb farmer in particular local-ities But In the nation at large prosper-ity among the farming classes is the rulerather than the exception It is a situa-tion which every lover of his country mayregard as the party platforms say withjust pride
Russias Cheerful MethodsA famous American poet held up the
heathen Chinee as the one bright andshining example of methods both childlike and bland The Russians have beenoverlooked in this respect When Itcomes to making the best of a bad bargain or turning a cheerful face to themost distressing situation the Russianscan teach many valuable tricks
Every one remembers how each andall reverses suffered by Gen Kuropatkin during the war were recognized andcheerfully proclaimed a part of Ruaslas original plans No matter howoften the Russians went into battle loaded down with ikons and loaded up withvodka the outcome apparently disastrousalways nevertheless became in defeatjust what Russia wanted As to Russian enthusiasm as U emanated fromheadquarter age could not wither itcustom stale its infinite variety
Now Russia to the front andproclaims that the war with
Japan was a trust victory for the im-
perial government and divers and sundryare the benefits said to have been derived therefrom In fact Russia hintsif it does not actually say that the waxwith Japan was deliberately premeditated and designedly carried through notfor the purpose of whipping Japan hutfor the sole and single purpose of stimulating Russian trade throughout Man-churia
Good tot Russia We like a cheerfulloser We like to see a m n who cardiscover the good that every ill windblows and we admire a nation that carperjure itself like a gentleman We areQuite prepared to believe that Russia sentthat fleet of war ships to the Sea tofJapan not with the intention of woundjug the feelings of Admiral Togo not atall but to stimulate the scrapiron market and nuke possible a greater ibid ofactivity for the needy shipbuilding concerns It is quite clear now
Russia is all right The calm and phflo-5ophlcal way in which the nation takesU medicine is worthy of emulation
Deportation of the NegroThe Charleston News
its advocacy sf the deportation fthe negro front this country a asiaOoa of the race probleas it a MW m with
put to it by the New York Tines as tohew the deportation should be carriedout the cost of it and so on but omitsto mention the very serious eonstituUosalquestions involved The News andCourier says All of the elements ft-
volved in this aettteaMnt of the racequestion have been folly consideredfeut has the oonsUtatMnaT aspect of thematter been given the consideration thatit deserves Inasmuch a the advocatesof deportation evidently propose that thenational government sbouhkr the ex-
pf h the question whether thegovernment has the right to deport
SMesf ciUxens to sac that certainly needsan answer
For the negro b a allison of the UnitedStates and endowed with aO the privi-leges of every other citiaen The Newsand Courier says he 19 set a freeman but
in the same sense a the white man-or not a cittsen of the UnitedStates upon what legal ground could bebe deported We have never made apractice of deporting oar cftistsjs evenwhen guilty of heinous crimes In factwe are always glad to get them back rothat they may be tried and punished Bywhat of legislation not h violationof the Constitution could the negro bedeprived of his citizenship Could he be-
denationalised and then as an alien sentout of the country But even alienshave the righto-tectton of life liberty and propertyThey cannot be deported unless they have
into the country to defiance of ourlaws or unless In tinfe of war they giveaid and comfort to the enemy
How then does the News and Courierprapsse that the negro snail be legallyput out sf the country The moral ao-
cial economic and political reason adwell
what are the constitutionalgrounds upon vrbicfc deportation may bejustified and what am themethod by which it may be carried out

has been so effective m the upbuilding oflarge combinations of capital as the grant-ing of rebates to favored shippers Uponrebates and other concessions granted byrailroads was erected the hugs monopolyenjoyed by the Standard OH CompanyThe sugar trust is now shown toenjoyed similar favors and we have nodoubt that many other trusts are in thesame boat
Apologists for the trusts and the rail-roads justify favors to large shippers onthe ground that a heavy tonnage shouldbe given a lower rate The same principleprevails in business transactions general-ly and seldom meets with condemnationhut in the case of common carriers performing quasipublic functions the prac-tice of discriminating between binge andsmall iblpjx rs produces economic resultsdetrimental to the public welfare destroying competition and aiding the growth ofmonopoly The government has there-fore done right in forbidding the practiceand insisting an a square deal
A number of railroad companies haveof their own motion stopped the giving ofrebates with satisfaction to themselvesand ti shipper That the government hnspower to deal effectively with offendingroads convictjon of the New YorkCentral affords ample proof

Hearsts Political TrustFrom the Norfolk Virjrini nPUot
The Independence League is an ineorporated company Tnder the charter allthe power of making platforms and antsing candidates is vested m a board ofdirectors named by brilliant authorof the scheme Here following the ruleslaid down in the textbooks of the recog-nizcd authorities on close corporationsaU possibility of trouble with minoritystockholders or a meddlesome public hasbeen guarded against The organizationis a perfect political trust It all revolvesaround the small directory and that issubject to the dictation of Mr Hearst A-
political party as the property of thelargest subscriber to the capital hi an in-
vention worthy of a patent And thefrom prejudice which could borrow
the basic idea from the hated octopus isus much to bo commended as the in-
genuity which gave it such original andeffective application

MARK TWAINS DEBUT
Ufa Kxijcrleiice 011 First Ap
Iicariinoc Before tire PublicMark Twain did not Introduce his
daughter Miss Clara Clemens to theaudience that crowded the gymnasiumat Nortolk Costa to hoar the youngcontralto make her American debut Heclosed the evening however with a fewremarks In which he recalled the agonyof his own first appearance upon a public
j stageMy heart goes out in sympathy to
any one who is making his first appear-ance before an audience of human beingsBy a dire process of memory I go backforty years less one month for Imolder than I look he said wagging hissnowy head
1 recall the occasion of my first aprarance Sir Francisco knew me thenonly as a reporter and I was to malemy bow to San Francisco as a lecturerI knew that nothing short of compulsionwould get me to theater So I boundmyself by a hardandfast contract 00that I could not escape I got to thetheater fortyfive minutes before the hourset for the lecture
My knee were shaking so that Ididnt knew whether I could stand upIf there is an awful horrible malady inthe world U is stage frtht and seasick-ness They asa a pair I had stagsfright then for thee trst and lost time Iwas only beaatek once too It was on atttUe shit on which there were 260 otherpassengers I wafrsick I was so sickthat there wasnt any left for those other269 passengers v-
It was dark and lonely behind thescenes in that theater and I peekedthrough the little peek holes they navein theater curtains and looked into thebig auditorlun That was dark andempty too By and by it lighted up andthe audience began to arrive
I had got a number of friend of mintstalwart men to sprinkle themselvesthrough the audience armed with big
Every time I said anything theycould possibly guess I intended to befunny they were to pound those clubon the floor Then there was a kindlady in a hex up there also a goodfriend of mine the wife of the governorShe was to watch me intently and when-ever I glanced toward her she was goingto deliver a gubernatorial laugh thatwould lead tb whole audience Into ap-planse
At last I began I had the menuscript tucked under a United Statesnag in front o me where I could getIt case of neco But I managed toget started without it I walked up anddown I was young in those daysneeded the exercise and talked andtalked
Right fi the middle of that speech Ihad placed 1 gent I had put to a movlag pathetic part which was to getthe hearts and souls of my hearersWhen I delivered it they did Just what Ihoped and They sat silent andawed I had touched them Then Ihappened to glance up at the box wherethe governors wife was you know whathappened
Well after the first agonizing fiveminutes my stage fright left roe neverto return I know if I was going to bshanged I could get up and snake a goodshowing and intended to But I sisalnever forget my feelings before theagony left me and I got up here tothank you for lies for helping my duughtar by your kindness to live through herfirst appearance And I want to thankyou for your appreciation of her stagingwhich is by the way hereditary
