FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1G01.
ADMIRAL SCHLEY resents the championship of his cause by William Jennings Bryan. Whatever else may be said of the admiral people can't call him a fool.
DIAMONDS are going up on account of the Boer war. This fact, however, will not wholly explain the hostility of the Democratio editors of Indiana to the waging of that far off conilict.
THE editor of the Rockville 'Tribune gravelj- remarks that the Democratic party repudiated Grover Cleveland in 189fi. The editor of the Tribune has evidently gone back on his Keeley in stitute resolutions.
MR. SCHAFFER, the head of the strike, is getting very wild in his talk, the infallible sign of a failing cause. His threats against the western workmen who refused to obey his angry orders, especially betoken a realization of defeat. ••y.u-
THE Indianapolis Sentinel complacently remarks that "indications of Democratic victory are in the air. They are. They have been in the air since 1892 and are getting farther and farther away from the earth all the time.
THE Indianapolis Sentinel predicts a Democratic victory in the municipal election in October, but it strikes the outsider as a strange thing that the Democracy of Indianapolis in such high confidence should have such a terrible time in drafting a candidate to make the race. That so many men should decline a certainty of being ipayor of Indianapolis leads people to believe that this certainty when boiled down means barely a chance.
INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel: The animus of the friars in the Philippines is shown by a circular which they have issued attacking Governor Taft and the members of the commission in the most scurrilous manner. The offense of the commission was issuing a proclamation reminding the people that under American rule there was complete separation of church and state, and that the commission could not interfere in religious affairs. For this the riar8 denounce the members of the commission as "buffoons," "talkative foreigners," "vile persecutors and pusillanimous politicians who are seeking to overthrow the church under the guise of a pernicious liberty and attempting to eclipse the sun of the moral world." The circular calls on Catholics morally to unite against "this impious and irreligious government." The friars are so intensely odious to the Filipinos that their indecent attack on the commission will probable tend to popularize it.
STATK IUGUTS.
Mr. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Pour railroad company, has published an elaborate paper on the political problems of the day, in which we are somewhat astonished to find the following: "The doctrine of state rights is not a popular one, but 1 sincerely believe we must come back to it if we would preserve our government." Mr. Ingalls surely does not mean, by the term "state rights," what it is usually understood to impart. The old Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1798-99, were generally taken as an embodiment of the doctrine of state rights, and they were undoubtedly the same as Mr. Calhoun's resolutions which he Introduced, into the senate, and urged with so much zeal and earnestness. Mr. Calhoun's resolutions clearly sustained the right of nullification, that is, that any state may judge as to the constitutionality of an act of congress, and nullify such act if the state legislature or state courts shall decide that such act is not constitutional. This is what has usually been understood by the term "state rights:" and if this is not what Mr. Ingalls meant by using the term he should have explained his idea more explicitly. It has been thought by everybody that the doctrine of nullification was exploded forever by the result of the civil war. Is Mr.JJngall's paper an attempt to revive it?

Canada Blue Grass.
To the Editor of The Journal.
in
I have often called attention to the great value of Canada blue grass as grazing crop for dry weather. The drought which has prevailed here since the 5th of July has thoroughly demonstrated what I have often contended that there is no other grass that will endure1dry weather like the Canada blue grass. This morning I gathered & hand full of stems of this grass from a place where the almost boiling sun has pouped.down on it unceasingly for six weeks,'and found them yet green as in June and as full of juice as they were then. If one will take a few stems and chew them into a pulp, he will soon see the quantity of green matter in them, and realize how inviting the grass must be to cattle and horses during such a drought as that with which we are now contending. As to its great nourishing qualities, there is no doubt. A leading livery stable proprietor of Crawfordsville, who has been using hay made of Canada blue grass, said to me that he regarded one ton of the hay as worth two tons of timothy hay. Horses fed on it need little else to keep them in good condition. A dairyman who used some of this hay last fall for his dairy cows said to me that it proved to be the very best hay that he had ever fed, far sur passing either timothy or clover in the production of milk and butter.

The Business College.
On Tuesday, September 17, the fall term of the Crawfordsville Business College will begin, the prospects being most flattering for the largest attendance the school has ever had. In anticipation of this increase the quarters of the college have been materially enlarged and a faculty of experienced and skilled teachers has been engaged. Last year the enrollment showed an increase of thirty-five per cent, over that of any previous year and the work done was such as would warrant a corresponding increase next year. Last yeari forty-seven of the college's students secured excellent employment and at times there were more applications for business men for the services of good stenographers and book .keepers than could be filled.
Silage and Late Fall Pasture and Feed. Government Experiment Station at Purdue: The present drouth is of such severity that corn will not, in many.cases, furnish ears to pay for husking, and from the grain standpoint the loss is great. The stalks, however, will furnish much valuable feed, especially that of early planted or early maturing varieties.
While the cured, dry forage will be valuable for winter feed, this is an appropriate time for farmers to build silos and fill them with green corn. They thereby secure palatable succulent food for winter use, or during drouth. At this time no better use of the corn crop can be suggested.
A silo can be built without great expense or trouble. The Indiana station has just constructed a silo that holds about G5 tons. It is 12 feet in diameter, and 28 feet high. Studs 16 and 12 feet long of 2s4 pine, were placed vertically end to end, long and short alternating to break joints, and 17 inches from center to center, on a* circular brick foundation two layers deep. No. 1 pinerfapcing 1 inch by 6 inches by 16 feet was'then re-sawed to make boards incli'by 6 inches by 16 feet, and these dressed to make them lay true. These were then nailed around on the inside against the Btuds, forming a circle, two men bending them into place and nailing on. First one layer was nailed up for a space, then tarred paper was laid over this layer, and this was followed by another layer of half inch stuff, breaking joints with that underneath. Four doors were left at convenient intervals, the width between 6tuds and about 18 Inches high. Boards and tarred paper may be laid in these doorways, the ends lapping against the
Btuds,

A Letter. .v:
To the Editor of The Journal.
AT HOME, Aug. II, 1901.—Excuse me for this but I cannot help it. I sauntered forth from my quarters a few minutes before three o'clock intending to go to the grove, get a drink at the well and listen to the orchestra, which gives open air concerts each alternating afternoon and evening. On my way I picked up a piece of paper announcing the free (almost) excursion from my old home and birth place. That's right, come and see us old truants, who fought, bled and almost died for our country. Uncle Samuel is making a grand new home here. I say making, while we already have the home, it is not nearly finished and workmen of all grades are busy, from the architect to the laborer on the excavations Come and I will be glad to show you around. Be sure to send such men as Ben Hur, Ike Elston and Char ley Kellog. I wish to see all of you. All is well except the water and dust. Sugar Creek is far better than the former and by the 12t.h inst. our dust will have changed to yellow mud.
when the silo is filled. No roof is provided or necessary. Such a silo is strong and inexpensive, and will preserve the contents in good condition. This one cost without boarding the outside of the studs, slightly under #60.00, not including labor. Lumber is ver,y high priced here, so the cost would be much less in many places.
This silo is simple of construction and may be built by any good farm laborers. It will be well forour American farm economy if more silos are constructed and stricter economy is followed in saving the crops, and more especially the corn plant.
It is now too late to plant cow peas or soy beans or other ordinary crops furnishing roughage. Rape, however, may be planted as late as September 1, and considerable forage provided. Flat, white turnips may also be sown, ana quite a harvest be possible for late fall and winter. Barley, oats or rye sown during the next few weeks, should furnish valuable late pasture.
Was Lost.
Mrs. Chas. Vancleave, an aged lady living on east Franklin street, wandered from home Wednesday night and caused great alarm in the immediate neighborhood by her absence. The aid of the police in finding her was invoked and about nine o'clock, by the aid of lanterus, she was found on the commons near the ice plant.

The Ladoga mare, May Allen, daughter of the famous Que Allen, came to grief Wednesday at the BrightonBeach races in New York. She sold favorite in the pools at $300 and finished ninth in the race. After the brilliant record she had made elsewhere this fall down came as a keen disappointment to the admirers of the mare, many of whom lost heavily on the result of the race.

Albert Payton and assistants are constructing a limestone arch over the Gilkey branch on the New Market road southeast of east. It ie good common sense to erect bridges of this kind of material. We have plenty of fine limestone in this section ofRinley and home workmen with the skill' to handle it. Therefore, we would suggest that as fast as our old wooden bridges collapse, replace them with stone. When properly constructed there is scarcely a limit to the endurance of the latter, and our own taxpayers should consider this before objecting to the slightly increased first cost over that of the timber structure. Though our American farmers are renowned as the brightest and most progressive class of rural workers in the world, their carelessness in some matters of vital interest to themselves, borders very closely on dense ignorance. A glance at the road and forestry systems of continental Eurppe brings us to a full realization of this. Those magnificent highways, broad, smooth and solid as granite that cross France and Germany and ascend the tremendous Alpine passes, are models of road making that the engineers of any country may well study with profit, while1every nook and corner of woodland is carefully guarded and a new tree planted for every one destroyed. Here in our own land the condition of our forests parallels the conditions of our roads, and how much the headlong, ruthless destruction of timbered areas has to do with the present drought can only be conjectured. Farmer friends, while thinking of our electric line, let us also think of our forests, our highways and repent "lest we forget.
NEW YORK BANDIT
Modern Dick Turpin Holds up Stage C'oacli In Traditional Style.
Glens Kalis, N. Y., Aug. 15.—The Blue Mountain stage was held up by a masked robber yesterday afternoon at North river.

New OHicei's.
Washington, Aug. 15.—Lieutenant General Miles, commanding the army, has issued a general order intended to improve the conditions of the army. It admonishes oiiicers and men regarding their duties and points' out the essentials of a good soldier, specifically mentioning patriotism, discipline, physical development, self-respect, selfreliance. and resourcefulness, also adding that professional knowledge is necessary at all times. The general says that on account of large accessions of officers and soldiers who have had but limited experience in the military service the instructions contained in the order arc issued for their guidance as well as for others. He says that to be effective in time of war modern military training must be uniform and conform to certain basic 11 iples.
