FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1900.
WHILE we are exporting half a million dollars' worth of provisions every day of the month the foreign market must be of some benefit to farmers.
EX-GOVERNOR JAMES E. CAMPBELL has been pleading for a divorce for Democracy and Populism. His grounds are logical, but the tribunal to which he appeals is prejudiced.
ALL the big states that have recently been holding Republican conventions are out strong for expansion. They •want to extend the markets for American farm and factory products.
"DON'T swap horses while crossing a stream,'' is the, good advice that James Gordon Bennett cables from Paris. The New York Herald is out strong for President McKinley's re-election.
THE Democratic cry of imperialism Is a ^bugaboo. Such a policy could never exist in the United States, and the attempt to attribute it, to President McKinley is only one of that party's campaign roorbacks.
EXPORTS of American manufactures will pass the 5-100,000,000 mark for the fiscal year ending with next month. In 1895 they only amounted to $183,595,743. And yet there are a few people who are still opposing protection and commercial expansion.
IMPORTS of manufactures of iron and steel have decreased by 63 per cent, during the last thirty years, while our exports of American manufactures of iron and steel have increased by 725 per cent. Doesn't look as though protection injured the export trade!
"WITH 100 per cent, of increase in the population of the United States during the last thirty years, there has been an increase of only 60 per cent, in our total imports of foreign goods. This shows how the American workman under protection is acquiring the American market.
DEMOCRATIC prophets are basing predictions of success on the fact that the Republicans by enacting sound money legislatson, in obedience to solemn pledges, have made free silver legislation impossible hence the gold Democrats can safely vote with the silveritee, as the latter, while theyUalk silver for political effect, can enact no legislation. The dark days of 1893 and the hard times of 1896 are not so far away, however. Both business men and labor know that the threatened legislation is almost as destructive to prosperity as the actual passage of vicious laws.
IF Mr. Neely, of Muncie, is found guilty of fraud in the Cuban postoffice department, he should be hanged. Such a crime at this time and under the circumstances is far more heinous and far reaching in its evil results than any murder could possibly be. Just when we are endeavoring to impress the Cubans with our purity of purpose, to have a trusted agent steal a great sum of money is a most embarassing and untoward circumstance which the good work of a score of honest and capable men can hardly offset. If Necly is guilty there is no punishment too severe for him.
FRANK J0. HITCHCOCK, chief of the section of foreign markets in the department of agriculture, says that the American farmer as well as the American manufacturer is reaping the benefits of expansion. He adds: "We are searching the world over to find new markets in order that the American farmer may have a readier and more profitable sale for his products. Our control of the markets of Cuba and Porto Rico will mean money in the pockets of our farmers. Under normal conditions these two islands purchase annually $50,000,000 worth of agricultural products, chiefly bread stuff and provisions, anil practically all of this trade should come from the United States.

Agriculture In Public Schools.
G. S. McGaughey, of Whitesville, has the following article in The Farmer's Guide: "In reading over a copy of The Guide it has provoked me, that is, it has provoked me to thought along a line that seems to me needs thinking upon. Training in our public schools along agricultural lines has not been given much attention.
As a teacher I have felt that our educational system is somewhat deficient just here. We turn loose young people upon the world with a knowledge of many things, and too frequently with no knowledge of the thing which they intended to do. Many of us seem to think that by mere accident we can learn all we need to know about agriculture, but the time has come that an acquaintance with the elements of soil, a knowledge of the properties of plant life etc., is necessary. I think the necessity of a course in farming is evident to all teachers who set adrift young men who are to come in contact with the multitudes of problems that confront every farmer. But some one says: "My son is not going to be a farmer, and I think it time spent that will be of no profit." Sir, how much of algebra, how much of Greek or Latin, or how much of any of the school subjects does one take out into the practical affairs of life? "Is it not a fact that these subjects assist us in obtaining more abundant life? Certainly a course in agriculture will do no less. Perhaps you have heard this remark made by some school boy who did not know exactly why he was going to school: "I don't want to study grammar I ain't going to be a school teacher." Just as though no one on earth need study grammar but a school teacher. "I know of no subject that will bring us more closely to nature than a course in farming. It furnishes an inexhaustible field for original investigation. It can be correlated with a number of other subjects in the school curriculum. For instance, the teacher wauts a composition from a boy or girl whose eyes have been opened to the questions that are important- to farm life, what branch of school work could afford more interest, and perhaps, provoke a better composition than one upon such a line? "I believe that a course in farming may begin in the primary and extend through the grades, that is it may be correlated with "nature work."

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
What He Learned.
Indianapolis Sentinel: John C. Wingate a member of the state board of tax commissioners, has just returned from a trip through the northern part of the state. During his absence he held a number of meetings with county and township assessors who are now at work. Mr. Wingate says that with but few exceptions the work is being carried out as planned at the state meeting in this city. In Mr. Wingate's territory there are forty-nine counties and of this number forty-three were represented at the various conferences.
Mr. Wingate says the returns show that farmers are raising more sheep and cattle and that the supply of hogs has decreased. The supply of corn has also decreased, and as the wheat crop in the northern part of the state promises to be almost a total failure a large crop of oats will be harvested. He also finds that mortgage exemptions have increased from about 25 per cent, to 331 per cent.
Wants Divorce.
Dora Burton has sued for a divorce from John W. Burton, charging him with being a matrimonial misfit. He has failed to provide, and has given ample evidence of other marital failings in their most aggravated forms. This couple were married at Attica and have resided at Danville, Frankfort, and a number of other towns. John is usually vice-president of some saloon and his handsome gavel is utilized when it becomes necessary to tap a fresh keg.
House and Lot Sold.
Commodore Alf Lookabill & Co., sold a beautiful house and lot in Russell ville for E. Hart to C. V. Hodgskin, price $2,000.
Typo AN Ammunition*
At tiie time of the Maori war ia New Zealand a newspaper correspondent had a strange experience. The publishing office of a newspaper was closa to the scene of some of the hottest fighting. During the struggle tha Maoris ran out of ammunition for their guns, and, raiding the newspaper offices, charged their guns with type and stereo blocks. This novel ammunition proved very effective. One of the white invaders was severely wounded with a patent medicine advertisement, and another was crippled for life by a church bazar announcement, and the editor, who had taken refuge with the British troops, had a narrow escape from being hit with one of his own poems.
Kicking: Mule Causes Murder,
On Parson's island in Chesapeake bay a small boy named John Davis, was murdered by Capt. Frank Lee. Davia who was working for Lee, *»ras sent to the stable to feed the stock. One of mules began kicking and the boy pounded the animal with a club. Upon coming to the stable Capt. Lee ordered the boy to stop, and, when he refused, the captain killed the boy with a, shotgun.
