uient only In the ocnxe of being a
new thing, . w here conditions uiutt
be observed and learned; not in the
tenxe that anybody quest ioun the
outcome. Under theHeeouditiona it
in very remnrkalile that the Urgent
tingle plantation of beets in the Uni
ted State hIiouUI be here. In Xe-
lranka, in Utah aud at halt a dozen
places in California there may be
found a greater local area given over
to beet cultun jbut in none of thene
place ia there to be found o much
an COO acres under the ownership,
(are and culture of a single man or
drill. Six hundred and forty acres,
or Jut one square mile, is the size ol
Pierce Iiros.' beet field near Island
City. The seed was planted in Mar.
and Apr. and the cro, is now getting
well along toward harvest, which
begins about the middle of Keptem-
ler.
Six hundred acres in beets means
the employment of more labor than
i 6000 acres In Kraln, and Pierce Iiro.
till the product is loaded on wagons
for the factory, and since it is a work
calling for dogged persistence and
patience, it is not congenial to the
average Atrui hand. Pierce Bros,
undertook to let out the cultivation
by contract to Chinese, as it is done

ing up the johjutt as the time for
"thinning" came on.
"Maybe you think we didn't have
a picnic for a time," remarked Mr.
Pierce to au Orcgoniau writer. "For
'M days we had an average of 250
men and txiys at work, and during
that period we had 9"0 names on our
' payroll, first or last. The pay was
f I per day and boanl, and we had no
dilllrulty in gettiug in recruits; but
iiiottofthem didn't last long. The
work is not hard in a positive sense,
but it puts a strain on the hinge in
one's back, aud nioit of them wanted
to rest after a day or two.
"The laud we are work lug," Mr.
Pierce continued, "was very foul
with wild nets, mill I think had nev
er been plowed decer thau three
inches so it is pmctically being brok
en in, which adds to the difficulties
of cultivation. We have not yet got
ten far enough along to reMirt con
clusions, hut I will mention oue very
significant fact. It is that our beet
are 40 per cent better in returns up
on a tract recently cultivated,, to po
tatoes than upon the bulk of our land
which was formerly in grain. This
a a point worth remembering."
Mr. Pierce does not undertake' to
say what profit will be made this
year. His contract rails for $1 peri

UNFAIR IX ARGUMENT
Too Much for her Populist
Husband.

"You're the most exasperating
woman I ever saw; you're miTisber
than any critter in the feed lot," said
my populist friend, as he plunked
himself mto the chair with such force
as to burst the cane seat. Then,
lug off one boot, be threw it at the
comer, missed the stand aud hit "the
xi; Forfcetiiiik Tub OHIer boot, ne
coutiuued: Aren't you ever going to
let up? Must you continue world
without end? Am I to hear It for
ever and a day on this-ide of Jordan,
and must 1 have it dinged into my
-ears as I go sailing through the pear
ly gates? Do stop! Enough is enoagb
and I've had enough."
With that he ran his long, bony
fingers through his disheveled hair,
settled back in the chair and raised
his bootless foot high iu the air.
The meek little wife sat quietly
beside tha table, on which was a lamp
and a twenty dollar bill, and darned
away at her husband's stockings,
unruffled, undisturbed, unmoved. .
My populist friend is a big-hearted,
quick-tempered, honest, whole-souled
uncouth farmer, who learned to
"rough it" In the war of Ihe sixties,
and ever since has fought life's bat
tles bravely. His wife Is gentle,
meek, kind, forbearing, devoted, pat
ient, shrewd and tantalizing. They
live out In Kansas, and that day he
had been to the Kansas City market
with a carload of fat cattle. Tender
ly had he cared for them, regularly
had he fed them, with a feeling of
supreme satisfaction had he watched
the market rise as the cattle gained in
flesh, joyfully had he contemplated
the time when he could bring home
to the good wife a portion of the pro
fit. The tima to sell bad come; he
expected much, but sold at the "top
price" of the market and got more.
Who would have thought," he
said, after figuring it all over, "when
bought those yearlings less than
two years ago, that they would bring
that pries now? There is a bit of it
for vou." and he tilaced the crisp
bank bill beside the lamp. - n
The little woman glanced at it
quickly; the olil familiar, mischie
vous smiie began to play about her
lips; aud turning to her husband she
blandly asked, "What's the price of
silver?"
It was this innocent Utile ques
tion that caused the storm-cloud to
burst. But when it had sent its
force abe said, with mild manner and
placid tone.
"Your reference to the time of
buying brought to mind the condi
tions then existing. Iet's see; it was
in August, I believe; ye, August,
'90. Xothing on earth, according to
your notion, would ever bring up the
price of cattle and hogs and corn and
wheat but the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
1; commodities aud silver went up
and down together."
At this my mpulist friend Jerked
off the other boot, threw It in the
other corner, said not a word but lis
tened to his wife, who continued:
"I told you that what was needed
was employment for the then idle
hauds; that wage for the workers, so
that they could buy beef for their
families, would help you and roe;
that so long as our country boftght its
goods of other countries our laborers
could tiot be employed nmking them
and could not have wages with which
to buy what we have to sell. You
voted for silver, but lu spite of you
the men of the Et.-t voted you down,
voted for employment and protec
tion to the workers of mill and mine
and factory, voted to give them a
chance to earn money with which to
buy the beef of thesteers that we fat
ten and ship to market. But wheie
is silver? What has become of the
yoke that hitched the white metal
and the steer logethet? Cattle are
up in price; silver down."
"But I really thought McKinley's
election would make money scarce,,'
he answered, plaintively.
"I know you did. You're honest
in whatever you do, honest in blind
ly following the demagogic leader
of your party. That's what irritate
me. Did it mike money wan?"
she asked. "Since election haven't
we hen bothered beyoud endurance
by agents who have wanted to loan
us Eastern money? Aren't (arm
loans easier to gel? Haven't rates of
interest been lower? Aren't prices
better?"
"Oh. I don't know as you need
crow so much about cattle prices. Il
la not home demand but foreign
prices that have helped us out," as
sertetl my isipulist friend, at he com
menced pacing the fl w,r in his stock
ing feet.
"Did you aay that you saw Mr.
Birkeit at market?" asked the wile
seeming to change the sutJ ft.
"U.i, 1 saw him rn the train,"
. "That is Mr. S. B.rkeit of Eureka,
down in OreenwtNjd county?"
"Yea."
"Had he been to Euglaud agaiu?"
' As the. little woman put this ques
tion to him my Populist friend
paused before I be chair and seemed
undetermined whether to sit down
or to continue pacing.
"Well n-o-o, not th-i-stime" he au-
swered, hesitatingly.
"He had the other time, though,
hadn't he? That was before Ihe pres
idential trcetioa ll i remember cor
rectly, about August."
"Yes, he was going over with cat
lie tbV
"Why uot this time?"
"Well, you see " aud by this time
uiy ptrpuiist friend " was seated and
was squirming uncomfortably iu the
chair; "Mr. Birkett aaya that prices
are uot so good over there now as
then."
"And you fouud them better here,
this time, than theu?"
Ye-es."
"Lower over there in '98 than In
"JS; higher over herein 't8 than in
'tni and yet you say the advance here
is caused liy demand there. Really,
now, what caused it demand there
or demand here? Who are the beef
consumers? Why, the workers, and
you know it. Why this increased
demand aud the better prices here?
Simple' enough. More work and
more wagea here. Why more work?
Easy again.. The . Dingley law set
our own rolling mills and foundries
and mines and factories to going.
Honestly now, husband, was it the
crime of 78 or the blunder of '92 the
election of tariff reformers, that gave
us the hard times, which are upon us
no more?"
"Oh, you never would argue
straight." he growled, and piked off
to lied. E. O. Plpp, in E-onomist.

It is actually fatiguing to hear the
diatribes of college professor and
the senseless mouthings of demago
gues against 'the acquisition of terri
tory in Ihe Pacific by the United

cum of pessimistic sagacity, wring
their bands and rise to remark that
it will be unsafe to entrust power in
the hands of the Ignorant, or toallow
others of off color to administer gov
ernmental functions; that a reiga of
terror Would prevail if such a course
waH adopted.
The government tloea not propose
to endanger the liberties of Us own
subjects by adoptiug such a course as
is supposed by these wisacrea. The

cannot adopt any other than a suit

they have been taught to control
their own actions and keep them
selves In harmony with the spirit of
freed m, and cheerful and loyally
obey the mandate of the most enligh

will not be allowed to hold positions
of trust under the republic or have

and Joyous, and repeated requests for
him to remain yet a little while, lead
him, not at all unwillingly, to pro

with a gasp of genuine dismay, and
hurries away slowly at last with pro

requested to call at the, presidential
mansiou at 2 :ao p. m. and receive the
answer. At that hour he went to
the white house but instead of being
a Spanish ageut, he presented his ere
dentials, as the envoy of Spain witli
full powers to treat for peace. He
held the first commission ever, iu
the world's history, transmitted by
telegraph, appointing him envoy ex
traordinary and minister plenipoten
tiary with complete instructions as
lo n.e manner of acting upon every
one of the peace conditions presented
by the United States, including the
disposition of Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines, the Ltdrnnes, indemnity
ariuisiic and all other questious like
ly to arise in the course of the nego
tiations.
After M. Cambon had presented
his credentials as plenipotentiary and
they had 'ieeii examined and his
statute recognized as the envoy of
Spain the first business was the pres
entation of the terras laid down by
the United States government. Sec
retary Day read the terms, pausing
at the end of each sentence to allow
M. Thiebault, first secretary of the
French embassy, to interpret it. Into
French, as the ambassador's knowl
edge of English is limited. This
reuding by Secretary Day and inter
preting by M. Thiebault took but 15
minutes. Tlien began the discussion
point by point. The president and
the amliassador addressed each other
directly with Ihe greatest freedom,
en eh stoutly maintaining the "justice
of his position on the several points
involved, until at last after an elo
quent plea by the ambassador, it was
agreed to modify the conditions) in
one particular. Secretary Day With
drew for half an hour and attended
to drafting the modification.
This accomplished, the ambassador
addressed himself to the president
not so much as the advocate of Spain,
but pei soi ally, having with the pres
ident, man for man, a like intercut in
humanity. M. Cambnn is a man ol
fervid force, and lie spoke w ith an in
tensity of feeling w hich made a deep
impression on the president and the
others present. He spoke in French
each sentence lieing caught up and
interpreted by M. Thiebault, so that
the earnestness of Ihe ambassador's
expression lost little liy this indirect
method of communication. The pres
ident spoke with equal frankness and
in the lengthy discussion there was
scarcely a point in the whole range
of the war whlch'was not met and
freely considered.
The terms of peace as has been dis
closed are on these lines :
Cuba to lie freed.
Porto Rico to be ceiled to the Uni
ted Stales.
One of the Lad rone islands (proba
bly Guam) to be ceded lo the United
States as a coaling station.
As au immediate step, all Spanish
military forces in the West Iudies to
be withdrawn, with the formal re
linquishment by Spain of her author
ity over any possessions among the
islands.
As to the Philippines, the cabinet
agreed upon the following point:
That Manila bay, with the city and
surrounding territory should be re
tained in the possession of the United
States at least for such a length of
time aa is necessary to devise and put
in operation some plan for the future
government of the group.

In this new and superbly illustra
ted wora a noble Christian woman
tells the thrilling story of her person
al exjierience in Oosprl, temperance,
mission and rescue work in a great
city. No recent publication is now
commanding so mu -n attention r.or
has tny other tailed forth such rii g
ing words of Ood speed from minis
ter and eminent women. It has
been preached about from famous
pulpit, read by tens of thousands of
aubscrils-rs and made the subject of
many a clergyman's Sunday evening
lecture. Its authorship is lourMil,
it four authors being no less than
Mr. Helen Campbell, R-v. Lyman
Abbott D. D., Col. Thos. W. Knox,
and Inspector Th st liyrnes Chief ol
the Xew York detective bureau.
Mrs. Campbell the principal writer
cerlxiti'y w ts t w oman commissioned
of littl, and in His name speut many
years as a city missionary literally
' In drkett Xew York." W hat a
wonderful work she did. How de
voted arid i leteed her labors were.
Tiiit unique volume prvaeuts these
thrilling eerieticvs of Cliristiau en-
d.tivor with the hundreds of pathetic
and nmii-iof stvi.es that were packed
into i hem; it portrays life in a great
city by day ami by nigh "as seen by
a m oiu.W; it shows the power of the
ios'l to redit iu souls from the low
st depths, it givesstriklng tesliiuou
ies'' the redeemed; and from all
ihesc rich and varied experiences it
draws living truths for head and
heart that are worth to any reader
ten times the price of the book. Mrs,
Campbell's account of rescue-work is
full : f wo:;.!, rfully touching Inci
dents. Stranger stories are here told
limn romance tvr dreamed of every
one of tfiem draw u from real life by
a woman's hand. In every chapter
she weaves iu aneedo'e after anec
dote, incident after incident, story
after story, and the reader's attention
is held breathless to the eud of the
volume. "Strange but most sugges
tive is Ihe fact," says Bishop Coxe,
in warmly commending this volume,
"that Christ is to be visited in these
deus aud dives; there are those whom
He will bear iu mind when He says:
'Ye visited Me'; or w hen He says:
'Ye did it not to Me.'"
Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott's life long
interest iu cily missionary work aud
his personal share in that work, pre-
emintly fitted him to write for this
hx.k. In his Introduction to it he
s tys :
".liy interest in these phases of city
life dates from my colltge days.
From that day to this over a third
of a century sgo I have continued
the studies the i begun, aud the sub
ject of this book has btvn one of the
great sul jects of my study; sometime
in literature, often in life."
No np(ieal from temperance advo
cates can do more to promote the
cause of tern perame than the limit
ing seem s and incidents so well de
scritied, at least so say Mrs. Mary
A. I.lvemiiore and Miss Frances E.
Willard.
One of the mint absorbingly inter
esting portions of the book is that
written by Inspector Byrne giving
the ripe experience of thirty years ol
detective life. Many of the startling
revelations he makes are taken from
his private diary. They have never
before been published.
Tills lascinaling volutnne is iudeed
a wonderful tale of Christian love and
faith, all alive with intense and strik
ing reality. The best of it is that it
is a pure and elevating book from
beginning to end a volumne for the
family circle. On this point the
words of Rev. Dr. Twichell (who has
a family of ten children) and Rev.
Dr. Magouu, President Iowa Col
lege, are worth quoting here: Dr.
Twichell writes, "My wife saysthat
she is going to set our young people
on the book right off, for the g'Mxl it
will do tliem" and President Magoun
says, "My family Huds, whereother
books on our shelves lack interest,
this one always holds and rewards
attention ."
it contains 2"2 superb eugravings
every one of thein made from photo
graphs taken from life, mostly by
flish-light. Every face is a Mrtrait,
every scene a stern reality. In look
ing at these splendid illustrations the
reader sees at a glance Just how IJw
el work is carried on by day and by
night by rescue-bauds; he is shown
strange sights in nut ol the way
places that are rarely or never seen
hy the casual visitor; he is taken into
cheap lodging-houses and cellars; into
the home of the pixir; into news
boys' loilging-housts; into the police
and detective departments, etc.,
nothing seems to be omitted.
