Tiir Populist terms for fusion with Democrats this year will be about half the oilices and all the platform

IF, as the Denver Times says, the climate of Colorado is the next thing to a kiss," it must indeed be embracing.

Gkx. Wkylek says we did not dare send a warship to Havana while he •was there. He seems to have been fully represented by proxy.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: Those Indianapolis women who have organized a Quo Vadis Euchre Club evidently translate it "What's trumps?"

An enthusiastic Colorado woman is ready with a troop of cavalry, but is totally indifferent whether she goes to the Spanish Beat of war or the Omaha exposition.

A KHW Spanish marines have deserted American warships at Lisbon rather than to remain on board to witness the inglorious defeat of their country men.

Puksident McKini.ev has planted a sapling in the White House grounds, thus re-establishi'ig a custom instituted many \tarf ago and regularly observed until "r Cleveland hit it with a sane, bag

As far as the SuUia American republics are willing to sell tlieir warships Uncle Sam is the favored purchaser. Spain's overtures to its former victims are wasted. They know all aboilt Spanish good faith and justice.

The Brooklyn, our swiftest fighting ship, and said to be the most powerful armored cruiter in the world, is well placed at Hampton roads, where a touch of the button will send he:where she will be most effective.

Two Adamses and two Harrisons have occupied the presidential chair, and Grover Cleveland is training a young scion of his noble house to mal another double. It may be, however, that this is one of the scions that will fail.

Tiik good roads bill just passed by the New York Legislature provides that the State MiaH pay 50 per cent, of the cost, the other half to be a charge on the county. If property owners petition for the improvement they bear 35 per cent, of the county's share, but if the county takes the lead abutting property owners pay but 15 per cent of the cost

One of the numerous evidences of improved conditions among the manufacturing interests of the country since the adoption of the Dingley law is found in the statement made by Dun's Review of March 12, that the failures in the manufacturing indus tries during the first week of March, 1898. amounted to only S4S0,074, against $1,0SS,758 in the corresponding month of last year under the Wilson law.

Late reports from Nebraska show that the beet sugar enterprise of that State was so successful last year that the farmers have increased by 10,000 acres the area to be planted in beets during the coming season, and have done this in the face of the threat of reduction of prices of beets in case of the annexation of Hawaii. The reports of the increase in acreage are accompanied by a statement that a movement is on foot for the organization of co-opc rative sugar factories, to be owned by the prosperous farmers, whose condition a couple of years ago «was held up by the silver people for the commiseration of the entire world.

Here is a little table showing the range of silver and farm products in the 21 months since the adoption of the free silver proposition by the Chicago convention. The three articles selected represent, in a wide practical sense, various clashes of farm production, and it will be seen that in every case there has been an advance in prices of farm products in inverse ratio to the fall of silver:

A NEGRO ON* THE RACE QUESTION William E. Curtis gives an estimate of the late Blanche K. Bruce which may well be read and pondered by every Negro in the country. Mr. Curtis says:

Blanche K. Bruce, who died to-day in Washington, was the ablest and most imminent representative of the colored race since the death of Frederick Douglass. He was an unassuming, quiet, cordial gentleman who never forgot his dignity and never intruded where his presence might be commented upon, but at the same time was approachable by and sympathetic with the humblest negro in the land. There was no more popular man in the senate when he was a member of that body, and he left it with the respect of every one of his colleagues on both sides of the chamber. His views upon civil rights and the ambitions of his race do not conform with those usually expressed by its leaders, but he did not offer them in public, for fear they would arouse resentment and impair his inlluence. He did not believe in race distinction in any lespeet, and when they proposed the negro building at the Atlanta exposition, at which to exhibit evidences of the prosperity and progress of the colored people of the South he advised against it, and urged thatsimilar exhibits would have a better tffect if they were made in direct contrast with those of the whites For the same reasons he never advocated the appointment of colored men to office as a recognition of race. He held that they were entitled to appointments on account of their merits, and not the color of their skin, and although he did not publicly force these views upon Jhis colored followers because of their unpopularity, he never failed to use his influence in that direction, and of late has several times advised the president not to appoint colored men to conspicuous positions in the South, because it aroused animosities which did t.hem more harm than good. He always advised colored men against entering the learned professions. because such a career is limited, anc thought they could do better in mechanical industries and commercial affairs. He was a groat believer in industrial education, manual training. and saw in that the redemption of his race.

The predictions made by opponents of the Dingley bill that it would result large advances in prices of articles of common consumption have proven inaccurate as those in which it was insisted that it could not produce sufficient revenues to meet the expenses of the Government. The revenue receipts are now exceeding the expenditures and the prices of articles of common consumption are in many cases lower than they were a year ago. Dun's Review, in a recent issue, shows that cotton goods of nearly ali grades were much lower on March 1, 3808, than they were on January 1, 3897 that nearly all articles of iron and steel have also fallen instead of advanced, and even in the matter of boots and shoes, where it was iuslsted that the duty placed on hides must result in ati advance in the cost of those articles to the wearer, prices are actually lower thau they were at the beginning of last year.

The loss of Chile, Japan, Russia arid India from the ranks of the silver standard nations '[lias been a severe blow to the face eoinagists and it now appears quite probable that they will meet with further reverses of this kind before the campaign of 1900. Reports from China indicate that the violent lluctuations in the value of silver is causing great dissatisfaction with the silver dollar which, by the decree of 1SS10, was made current money, and that there is a disposition to follow in the footsteps of Japan by the adoption of the gold standard as soon as practicable. It is also known that Mexican financiers are in many cases xpreEsing a desire for the adoption of the gold standard in their own country.

If the editors of most of the cross roads Democratic papers were at the head of this government they would probably have declared war before this Fortunately for the government they are not there-and what is more there is no remote possibility of their ever steering the course of anything more consequential than a Washington hand press.

It will take the Oregon sixty days to put a girdle around the most of the New World and join the Atlantic fleet. A Nicaragua canal would bring her to Key West in less than twenty.

Will Thompson Feems to be reconciled to his fate and has recovered his appetite. He expected the dose which he received and is ready to begin his time. He still preserves his glassy stare but knows everyone who comes about and talks in a perfectly rational manner. No new trial has as yet been asked by his attorneys and it is generally thought that none will be asked.

Knitir Corn.

In yielding fodder this corn has another desirable characteristic. It remains green until after the seed is ripe. The yield of this fodder is nearly double that of ordinary corn. The grain makes good flour, and is also a good popcorn. As a food product it is not quite so nutritious for live-stoekas Indian corn, but the margin of difference is so slight that only scientific research is able to reveal it. In a ijgiven quantity it has been found that Indian corn has 81.7 per cent, of the substances that produce heat and fat and support muscular effort. Kaffir corn produces 80 7 per cent, of the same substances in the same quantity of corn. It is more difficult, however, for the farmer to prepare the grain of Kaffir corn for feed than the old-time corn. Kaffir corn is ha. uer and grittier, and needs more grinding than its rival. Neither cattle nor swine make as great a growth in weight while being fed for market on Kaffir corn as on the old-time feed?, but ^in exhaustive experiment, made by the State Agricultural College in Kansas in 189(5, revealed that when cattle and hogs are fed together, red Kaffir corn (the white Kaflir corn not being so nutritious as the red) is the best ration that can be used on the farm. That part of the product that the cattle fail to use in beef-making the hogs absorb, and the minimum waste results. Elaborate tables have been made showing the superiority of Kaffir corn to all other kinds of com for the Western farmer, all based upon the fact that it is a drouth-resister, that it has the power to grow again after it has taken a forced rest, and that it does not, become "fired," as ordinary corn does in a time of hot winds.

A remarkable thing about alfalfa and Kaflir corn has bees demonstrated in the experiments at the Kansas Agricultural College, and that is that twenty pounds of alfalfa hay and eight pounds of Kaflir corn make the "ideal dairy ration." It is asserted by the! experts at this institution that on this ration it is possible for the Kansas dairy cow to produce the very best butter at tour cents a pound. Allowing two cents a pound for freight to New York City, the Kansas dairymen assert that they can put, butter on the market in the metropolis cheaper than any other producers in the country. If that be true, the outlook for the farmer who cultivates these unfailing crops of alfalfa and Ivufiir corn must! bs rosy, for whether the farmer decides to transform these crops into butter, or into beef, pork or mutton, he seems to be in a position to do so at! the minimum cost.—Fmnlrtiu Mutihews, in Harpers Weekly.

0YEB-WB0PGHT NERVES OF WOMEN.

Extraota From Letters Received by Mrs. Pinkham.

"I am so nervous and wretched." "I feel as if I should fly." How famHiasr these expressions are. Littlo things annoy you and make you irritable. You can't sleep, you .are unable to lift ordinary burdens, and are subject to dizziness.

That bearing-down sensation helps to make you feel miserable. You have backache and pains low down in the side, pain in top of head, later on at base of the brain.

Such a condition points unerringly to serious uterine trouble. If you had written to Mrs. Pinkham when you first experienced

impaired,

vitality, you would have been spared these hours of awful suffering.

Happiness will be gone out of your life forever, my

sister, unless you act promptly. Procure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and begin its use, then write to

Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., if there is anything about your case you do not understand.

You need not be afraid to tell her the things you could not explain to the doctor, your letter is seen only by women and is absolutely confidential. Mrs.

"Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Will you kindly allow me the pleasure of expressing my gratitude for the wonderful relief 1 have experienced by taking your Vegetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, backache, headache, loss of appetite, a heavy bearing-down feeling, also burning pains in the groins. I could not sleep, was tired all the time, had no ambition. Life was a burden to me. The pains I suffered at times of menstruation were something dreadful. I thought there was no cure for it. I sawyour advertisement in the paper, and my husband advised me to try your medicine. I took five bottles, and now I am well and happy. Your medicine saved my life." A Million Women Have Been Benefited fcy Mrs. Pinkbam's Advice and Medicine

Pinkham's vast experience with such troubles enables her to tell you just what is best for you, and she will charge you nothing for her advice.
