S _ r Agricultural papers , as a general thing , do not mix up much with 'political matters. Why , it is hard to say , because the interests of agricuultur- 4 ists are wrapped up , and involved , in tariff legislation , as are other interests. Any agricultural paper that has the true welfare and prosperity of its subscribers - scribers at heart would , without any hesitation , give full discussion to the policies of free-trade and protection. Then It would not take farmers long to understand the question , and the result would be a unanimous verdict for pro- tection. The Sugar Planters' Journal , of New Orleans , apologizes because it has "no taste for politics. " It follows . I Tin I'late Trade and Tariff. stole ) I tit s'cal'e ) IOOa l 1036,489O10Ids . i . . .

In making this change , it cost many of us a severe struggle , for it meant the sunder - , der ing of life-time political ties , but to many others it was really a return to their former principles , as old Whigs. A few years agp. it would have meant Out of Sight. ttitl ( pi ; i 1 i I _ J-G' JII I _ , 51 , :1 , II f , 'Where is the .Free .

When we review.the political history ' of Louisiana since the war , and remem- berthe struggles we lad .to overthrow , radreai corruption ; then } ook around us to-day , and realize that after all our effortsto secure good government , state and municipal , we to-day have corruption - tion equal y as great as that which caused us to resort to arms to tight our wrongs , it should cause the most serious reflection on our part. What can we I expect from the present democratic 1 state government ? Turning to the national government , ghat do we see ? Incompetency of so gross a cbaracter that , by a long series I . g r 1 , < _ - - - of blunders , the government has been brought to the verge of ruin. Either through ignorance or by design , our nation - tion , which was once and could and should be again the most independent on the face of the earth , has been made the suppiianr of European money changers , and our gold and other national - tional wealth is being rapidly diverted to foreign lands. So much for the nation ; but when it comes to Louisiana , one of the nation's children , we have been betrayed "In the house of our friends ; pacified with promises after the democratic congress had broken a solemn contract , and now those promises , which were considered as sacred as legislative enactment could make them , are trifled with and sought to be annulled on mere quibbles. This is more than human nature can stand. Have sugar planters any longer hopes of justice or reasonable legislation at the hands of the democracy ? We say no , emphatically no. Loulsana's interests - terests before the war made her a protectionist - tectionist state ; her interests to-day lead her in the same direction. Therefore - fore , all sugar planter's who consult their own best individual interests should declare that they are done with the democratic party , state and national - al , now and forever , and standing together - gether with thousands of other patriotic - triotic citizens all over the state , who wish economical and just government , strive to build up a good , honest party , which believes in fair elections and honest count at the polls , and the maintenance - tenance and protection of all American - can industries. Some Wool Growers happy , There are good times in Australia. Wool growing is the staple farm pro- duct there. It is , in fact , the mainstay of the colonies. A good demand for wool and an advancing market naturally - ly make the Australians feel happy. The largest woolen house in Melbourne , in its latest report , had this to say : "A fair total has .changed hands at rising prices , and there is every indication - cation that the demand at the sales will be particularly keen. The noticeable expansion of trade 'of the past few months has led to a'very large absorption - tion of the stocks existing at the beginning - ginning of the year.and in this respect the position of the market is regarded most favorably. A very promising outlook - look is presented for the forthcoming season , of whieh we shall hold the opening - ing sale on the 16th prox. , and a substantial - stantial improvement on the values of its predecessor is assured. The position - tion as regards the local market recalls that of 1889 , and appears likely , as then , to secure a large , addition to the total disposed of in the sales. " This is very cheering news to Amer- } can wool growers. Free wool in the United States enriches the Australian farmer , . But it ruins the American. Hop ; and Woot Cheap. Farmers in this state 1v'ho have grown hops this year are uncertain whether to have them picked or to let them rot on the 'roles. The reason for this is that the cost of pieki > } g hops is more than they sell for. The lot of the western - ern farmer , who grumbles because the price of wheat has declined from a dollar - lar to 62 cents a bushel , is .a happy .on compared to that of the New York farmer , whose chief product is hops.- New York Evening Post. The state of the hop industry is no worse than that of wool growing , Wool was put on the free list by # Ime tariff of 1394 , and the duty on hops was reduced from 15 cents a pound , under the tariff of 1890 , to 8 cents. But the depression that fell upon all industry with the advent - vent of Clevelandism has brought the price of hops down to the amount of duty per pound. In the year 1894 we imported , according to the Evening Post , S,300 bales of hops , each weighing 5Q0 pounds , or a total of 4,150,000 pounds. These hops ought to have been raised upon American farms.-New York Demoertt and Chronicle. 1 A Bemocrit Owne Up.

What is it to have presence of mind ? Why , to have your wits about you when they are most needed. A boy was passing an examination in one of the public schools and , although not very successful , the teacher remarked - marked : "That boy has a good mind. I couldn't confuse him. " In boy parlance , he didn't get "rat- tled. 1-le had presence of mind. A few days ago , in attempting to swing off a moving cable train , a boy lost his hold and fell between two tracks. Luckily he landed clear of the track of his own car , but both legs stretched across the track opposite , on which a car was rapidly approaching. No time for him to rise , and to attempt it between two moving trains was extremely - tremely dangerous. What did the boy do ? He had presence of mind , and , shifting his legs from off the track , straightened his body out and lay still , while the two trains whizzed by him , each within a few feet of the other. In one of the big department stoles , not long ago , a small cash girl had her hand imprisoned by the heavy lid of a box closing unexpectedly. Under the fright and pain the young girl i fainted. "Get some water , quick ! " commanded the floorwalker to one of the clerks. And she ran quickly and-turned out the electric lights ! That was want of presence of mind. The Grammatical Rut' . From time to time examinations of classes in the elementary schools are conducted under the auspices of the Superintendent - perintendent of public schools in order to test the work of teachers. In the earlier days of superintendency , teach- era who expected a visit front one of the assistant ' superintendents would ' carefully drill their pupils and prepare I them to go on "dress parade. " In one of these cases the children had been taught to recite a number of words , which included an array of nouns , adjectives - jectives , adverbs , etc. , in measured quantity. "What is fully ? " asked the teacher. Adverb ! " answered the class. "And this ? " as she wrote "surely" on the board. "Adverb ! " again responded the youngsters. "And what is this ? " queried the assistant - sistant superintendent , writing "The fly has wings ; " and pointing to "fly. " "Adverb1ustily ! exclaimed the class. 1 "And why is it an adverb ? " " 'Cause it ends in ly , ' was the confident - dent answer. Figure ThI ; Out. .A : made a.counterfeit dollar and put 'it in the contribution box when the collection was'taken up 'for the deacon's fund. The deacon gave time dollar to a poor widow who used it to buy a dollar's 'worth'of coal. The coal dealer paid it to the editor for a 'year's 'subscription to the local , weekly. The editor paid the coin over to' A for the purpose of settling up a little 'transaction in poker chips. Several questions arise from the tran- , i'sactions entered into by this bogus coin. 'Did good or harm result from the fraudulent issue ? And how much ? And : to twhom ? How IIe Cturht Therm A barber who kept a cigar stand at one end of his shop found that a goodly , portion of'his stock disappeared during I the night. He watched without avail ; as long as his eyes were upon them the cigars were safe. As a last resort he brought in a camera just before dark , 'focused ' it on the cigar stand , and so connected it electrically that when the latch of the show case was pulled a magnesium light would be flashed and U picture taken. The next day the cigars - gars were unmolested , but in the camera there was a cleariF defined picture of two boys who lived in the neighborhood , one in the act of opening the case and the other preparing to receive - ceive the booty. The flash had scared them , and they had made off ; but they were at once arrested and sent to prison.

Rnts Are Traps for Gold. I "All that glitters Is not gold ; but sometimes gold can be found where i there Is not a very glittering prospect , of finding it. It is said to be a conmrnon practice for the boys in watch and jewelry - elry factories to kill the rats which infest - fest the building and burn thei $ to obtain - i tain the gold. The rats cat all the old 1 rags in sight , and as these rags have become saturated to a certain degree with very minute pieces of gold , in the course of a short time ; the rats have I ! quite a considerable amount of the ( precious metal in their interior mech- anism.

While speaking he took particular - ( ticular notice of a boy who was listening - ing with rapt attention to cveny ward I the lecturer said. The Toledo Blade explains the reason for the boy's inter- est. est.As As is usual in such addresses , the missionary concluded with an earnest appeal for ccutributionshowever , small , and thinking of his wide mouthed listener - ener , he added that children night give their mite. When the meeting was over the boy mounted the platform and going forward - ward to the lecturer , said : "Please , sir , I was very much interested - ested in your lecture , andandhere he hesitated. Go on , my little man , " said the mis- sionary. "You want to help in the good work. " "No , no , not that , " was the boy's re- 1 ply. What I want to know is , have you any foreign stamps to give away' " " .Jack the hurt Killer. Some time ago I read a little anecdote - dote of Lonfellov ; which illustrated his love for children. It seems that one little fellow in particular was fond I of spending his time in the great poet's library. One clay , after a long and patient - tient perusal of the titles ( to him great cumberson works ) that lined the shelves , the little chap walked up to Longfellow , and asked in a grieved sort . , of way : I "Haven't you got a 'Jack , the Giant 1 Killer ? ' , l Longfellow regretted to say that in I all his immense library lie did not have a copy. The little chap looked at him in a pitying way and silently left the room. The nett morning he walked is with a couple of pennies tightly claspad in his chubby fist , and laying them down , told the poet that lie could now buy a "Jack , the Giant Killer" of his own.- Harper's Round Table. The Earth Gorr Round. Since Galileo's time most people have believed that the earth revolves on its axis ; but it is one thing to accept a theory on hearsay , and another to veri- I fy it for one's self. This latter is what I a Philadelphia girl seems to have done , according to the Times. I , . "I believe the world does tarn I around , she declared to lien mother , ' in the tone of one who has been trot-i bled With doubts. I " Z\rltat is it that has convinced you ? " asked the mother. "I can see it whirl when I twist up I in my swing and then untwist. " "Isn't it you that whirls , instead of the earth ? " suggested the mother. "Fes , but it goes after I stop , " said the little philosopher , and that settled it. Au Observing Child. There is a singer in this city who has a very knowing little girl. The child has never had a nurse , but has been cared for all her five years by her mother. She took the little gin ! with her one , day to see a friend. "She will be down in a minute , " wan the message , after they had taken seats + in the parlor. As soon as the servant disappeared again little Katharine leaned aver and said to her mother : ! "Mamma , how long are her minutes ? " The mother stopped t o thin : an in- stint , then said : "Why do you ask such a tpiestion , dear ? " "Well , " answered the little O e , with a deep sigh , "papa says your minute is , an hour , and I just wondered hriw long I hers h. " Corky , Who knows where corks corfte from ? This question was asked of the children of the red schoolhouse one day , and come funny answers came. One child said , "From bottles ; " another - other timidly shouted , "The druggist's ; " "Off of trees ; " and the dear little school- ma-am began to feel rather discouraged. Suddenly a freckled little fellow eight summers held up his hand. , "Well. Eddie , " said the lift , ( t , school- ma'am. encouragingly. "I think corks are tree -I mean there i are cork-trees-and all sorts of thingz' are made out of them , suck as life-pre- servers and everything. " I "Very good , " said the dear little ' schcolma'am.

How the Up-to-llate People Find Pleasure - ure In Winter. People are fanciful and It is Fancy , after all , that is happiness , and the motive - tive which dictates to the world. Some one fancies that the cozy fire at home and the environment of favorite books Is enough to make life worth living dun- ing the winter months. That will defer for the way worn , weary , easily satisfied - fied , old fashioned man and woman , but the up to date cavalier and the new woman require a change-many changes in fact , and they seek in time dull winter days to find the climate they wearied of in spring and wished would pass away in summer. Sitting behind frosted wudow ianes and gazing on the glistening snow crystals they sight for the warmth and brightness they love better now titan a few short months ago and , in no other country may these whims , these fancies be so easily gratified a. , in America. Absolute - lute comfort in these days , and in speed and safety , too , instead of the wasted time and discomforts of the not distant past. Ponce tie Leon who sought the fountain of Eternal Youth on the shores of Florida consumed many of the pre- closs days of later life , and died before attaining the great prize. De Soto was lured in the same direction and found at Hot Springs , by the 'aid of Ulelah , the dusky Indian maiden , the wonderful product of the "Breath of the Great Spirit , " but before lie could return home and apprise his friends of the great din ; covert' and enjoy the certainty of gold and youth , which he believed lie had in his grasp he fell a victim to the niiasmi of the Great River and found a grave in its muddy depths. To-day the seeker after health simply boards one of the magnificent trains of the Missouri Pacific - cific System , and after something to eat and a nap , wakes up to find himself in this delightful winter Resort , ready to embrace health which seems to be invariably renewed by the magic of the air and water. In De Soto's time the secret of the Fountain of Life was sedulously - lously guarded by the savages , but now a hospitable people opens its arms to receive the tourist whether his quest be for health or amusement. Fancy sometimes - times tires of Hot Springs , strange as it may seem , but Fancy says "the fields beyond are greener" and the climate of San Antonio is more desirable and thus another ride in another palace , and new scenes and new faces please time eye and satisfy the restless cravings of this master of man. Titus from the Father of Waters to the waves which wash time western shore of this great country the tourist is led by a whim , but most delightedly - lightedly captive. Mexico has been described as the Egypt of the new world , and the comparison is fitting , and he who dare not face the dangers of the deep , and prefers to retain his meals as well as his life , should make the journey to the land of time Monte- zumas , and there learn the story of the ages within the faces of a people which change less in the passing years than any other on the Western Continent. This is the land of Sunshine and Color ; of history and romance ; and as bright eyes will smile at yea from under be- wit hing head gear as may be found in ; Castile or Arragon. Fancy carries one to California of course , and this journey , as it once was termed , is now so easily performed as to have lost all of its terrors and left only a most emphatically delightful trip to be the subject of man , future conversations. The land of fruits and flowers and fair women ; Fancy can ask no more after this tour unless it has been satisfied for once ; and still it is Fancy which takes the wearied traveler back to the home and the familiar surroundings - roundings and the friends and loves of biome. There he may contemplate new journeys and new divertisements , but there lingers in his memory a pleasure he would not part with , and he hopes soon to again enjoy time comforts afforded - forded by this Great System of Railway which has taken him safely out and brought him safely home and has not robbed him of the joys which Fancy brings.
