BAR TO PROGRESS. Railroad Bridge Stops Work on an Interurban Road. Fpecial to tha IncManapolla Journal. RICHMOND. Ind.. July 19. There has been absolutely no progress made toward removing the obstruction on Main street, this city, that will prevent through traction service from Indianapolis to Dayton, O.

The Council stands ready to help the work along, but will insist that the rights of the city be fully protected. DAIRY MEETINGS PLANNED.

A number of domiciliary visits and many arrests have been made as the outcome of the theft of sixty rifles from the military arsenal here by members of the Macedonian committee, with the complicity of the master armorer. The arrested men include two officers and several schoolmaster?. The Macedonian journals menace the prefect of police with the fate of M. Stambuloff, who was assassinated by political adversaries. PEONAGE Di THE SOI TH. A Matter Thnt la Attracting the Attention of Foreia;ners. New York Evening Post. It is a Southern man. Judge Jones, who states the lamentable inference to be drawn from tho mistrial in the Turner peonage case at Montgomery. It will go out to the world, he says, that a white man cannot be convicted for oppression of a negro. Judge Jones did his duty. He went to the very verge of his judicial preorgatlve In charging the Jury. He told thorn that If they believed the evidence presented by the of guilty; that even if they accepted only of guilty; that even if they accepted only the admissions of the defendant, they must pronounce him guilty; and that they would perjure themselves if they took any other course. But. In spite of all. the jury stubbornly persisted in a disagreement. The cry of "politics" had been artfully raised by tne Southern press. It had been Insinuated that the North did not care about the punishment of the slave driver., but only wished to make political capital out of a merely isolated and insignificant incident of Southtrn life. A leading Democratic State official was retained for the defend, with the apparent Im of playing upon the sectional and political prejudices of the jury. The result we sve. It is the presiding Judge himself who teil us that it is a frightful miscarriage of juatice. Only the blindest folly, however, will

think that these things can be done in u corner. The existence of systematic peonage In Southern States has fixed the attention not only of this country but of Europe. This morning's dispatches show that it is a subject of comment by the Engli&h press, very much as the Kishineff massacre? have been by American newspapers. The Evening Post is in constant receipt of letters from abroad asking particulars. Such is the interest of the whole worid in the new slavery at the

South. Nor can it be said that the evil is only local and passing. At the very moment when the Alabama papers were asserting that peonage was purely an affair of a few-back-country communities in that State, the Governor of Georgia was forced to or ler an inquiry into flagrant cruelties practiced upon negroes held t- forced labor in his own commonwealth. Cases of peonage I been brought before the Florida courts. Demands for investigation are. we know, reaching the Denartment of Justice from several other States. The evidence of a widespread system is accumulating. Yet we are told that this is not a national question: "Let us alone!" cries the South, "and we will punish our own wrongdoers." To prove it. a Southern jury thereupon rfu-es to convict a white man whose guilt is beyond question! FARM AND GARDEN J? INTERESTS The Farm Labor Question. Providence Journal. What has come to be needed on the farms, then, is a larger supply of permanent and experienced labor. To epend upon the temporary diversion of inexperienced labor from other ttelds by no means meets the requirements of the case. And the creation of a permanent supply of the right labor is something to which the farmer himself must give attention. He is wont to complain that the advance of wages in the urban industries has drawn labor away from the agricultural districts. But as it is the greater earnings of the town and ciiy dwellers that give the enlarged opportunities for selling his products the farmer cannot desire to see laborers aettt back to the farms by the dropping of urban wages. The only alternative seems to be an improvement In the condition of the regular farm laborer till it becomes sufficiently attractive to hold the necessary number of workmen to the soil. This means that the farmers must change their business methods just as they have changed the mechanical methods which they apply to their occupation. They must, In some degree at least, compete for labor with the manufacturers; and they are not competing when for the average wage they offer throughout the year they demand that their "help" work from 4 o'clock in the morning till 8 or 9 in the eve"ning. The solution of the problem of farm labor, the urgency of which this yeai In the Went Is only a warning of worse difficulties to come, lies almost wholly in the adoption of more modern ideas and methods of business in farm management. Along with the new labor-saving agricultural machinery must come new standards of wages and working hours. The starb in their courses did not light against Sisera more fatefully than moaern Industrial conditions negative the possibility of the satisfactory continuance of the oldtime rules of work on American farms. More of the advantages that come from larger markets and better prices mut be allowed to reach the "hired men" in the fields. In the long run, of course, the laws of trade, of supply and demand, of competition will accomplish just that. But the shrewd and progressive farmer may so order his business affairs as to profit by those laws in advance of their complete natural operation. Crimson Clover. Philadelphia Record. Crimson clover may be seeded during next month, and some farmers will continue seeding until September. Fortunately for farmers in this section, the rains of August are very favorable to its growth. Crimson clover has been a failure in many localities during some years, due to the unwise system of sowing too late in the year, and also to the sowing of seed in cornfields or other places that had not been properly prepared for the crop. It is at fall crop that is, seeded ui the fall and will grow wherever it is given good preparation of the soil if not delayed too late in seeding. In the South October is not too late, but in this latitude the work should not be delayed longer than Sept. 15. But few farmers grov it for hay If red clover will thrive on their farms, the crimson variety being used almost exclusively as a "nitrogen gatherer." Lime and crimson clover are considered one of the cheapest and best combinations that can be used for restoring nitrogen without expending sums for commercial i'eVtlllzers. and excellent results have been obtained with crimson clover wherever it has been used as a green manurlal crop. Crimson clover has been used as a renovator of the soil at a season of the year when the land Is usually unoccupied, being like rye in that respect. It will grow on soils upon which red clover will not thrive, and it grows rapidly after it starts out in the spring. Too much was claimed for It when it was introduced, and failure to fulfill such claims on the part of those who made tests with it resulted in giving crimson clover an undeserved reputation as a plant that would not thrive and which was of uncertain growth. Those who were enthusiastic in its favor recommended it as a plant that could be seeded by scattering the seed in standing corn, on ground that had not been prepared, and that It would grow and thrive under any conditions. Considering the fact that no crop can be produced when the seeding is so carelessly done, and under such treatment as was advised, the wonder is that crimson clover remains the favorite so long. It is not difficult to secure a stand of crimson clover, but, while it is hardy and can endure many drawbacks, yet to succeed with it there must be Judgment used in preparing the land. A Choice of Feeds. New England Farmer. The choice of feeding stuffs to supplement farm crops is a matter of exceedingly great importance to the dairyman and stockkeeper. The time has passed wheu bran, middling, oil meal, corn meal and the ground grain of other ceaeals made up almost the whole list, and when the name given to a feed was a fair Index to Its composition and feeding value. Among the hundreds of feeds ingeniously combln. 1 from the ground grains, or containing portions of these grains left as by-products mi the manufacture of malt and spirituous liquors, of starch, sugar and glucose, of breakfast foods or of vegetable oils, the feeder finds a wide rang of puzzling compounds. Led only by his eye. touch or taste, helpful as these are to the purchaser who is guided by good understanding of principles, he would find it exceedingly difficult to make a sure selection of the feeds best suited to his needs. Oat hulls, corn cobs, coffee hulls, cotton-seed hulls and other materials are very skillfully used as adulterants, so that in some fe-ds now for sale in this State the per entage of fiber is so great that nearly all the energy represented in the food must be used to masticate the material and pass It through the animal's body. Of corn and oat feds on the market at least ten brands examined by the station at Geneva. N. Y.. contained from 10 to nearly 16 per cent, of fiber, while a mixture of equal parts of corn and oats should contatn less than 6 per cent. Good oats normally contain less than 10 per cent, of fiber, while several oat feeds examined contained from 22 to 2 per cent and sold fr Irom $20 to $30 or more a ton. Prices of feeds' of equal value also vary remarkably In markets lying side bv side. One denier in New York sells a certain brand for $? a ton, another dealer in the same city asks $10. The Country's Hl Crops. Kansas City Journal. According to the t'nltd States government's July report on groarlntf crops, there will be a yield this year of rrore than 72u.000,000 bushels of wheat t nd 2.263,000.000 busnels of corn.

The agricultural condition of the West for this year may safely now be called a pronounced success. The good fortune and industry of the farmers assure enough money to meet sll expenses, pay off Interest and a part of the principal on all their debts, to make improvements if they wish to do so, and still have a good-slsed balance to lay up in the bank. Business conditions In this part of the country depend primarily on the farmer, and. their prosperity being now assured, times must necessarily be easy anl satisfactory here for at least a full paar to OOSSB. Process Hotter In Canada. The Canadian Honse of Comomns has passed a bill forbidding the manufacture aud tale of process or renovated butter. Mr. McCrenry. of Selkirk, entered protest and pointed out that creameries were still scarce in the West and that numbers of peopl especially foreigners there, uullt largely on the few cows which they possess. These people make a class of butter which is not fit for export, but there is a f rm at Winnipeg that makes a business of purchasing this class of butter and works it ovt. The result if that liv- farmers get more for their butter than would otherwise be the case, while the article turned out by the firm is perfectly wholesome and perfectly suitable for home consumption, ilc could sec no good reason why this trade should be mterfeied with. This plea failed to move the minister of agriculture. He d -clare! that the measure was necessary in the Interest of the butter trade of Canada. especially the export trade. Once thi6 pa a butter was put on the market there was no telling where It would go, and If it were exported it would greatly Injure the reputation of the Canadian butter. Why late Hatched Chicks Die. Prairie Farmer. One reason why so many complain of poor success with late-hatched chickens is that they do not take care to keep down the pests of lice and mites about the coops and yards and to guard against filth accumulations. Others fail to provide fresh water as frequently as they should, and many neglect the matter of shade entirely in the hottest weather. All these faults are bad enough In the early spring, but are tenfold worse when the temperature ranges around the 90-degree point. Not Oftly do llcbreed much more rapidly In hot Weather, but they seem lo breed any wheredp ts? da of the buildings as well as inside. Thon, if mush is ted it shriHId be mixed fresh at each feeding, or there will be some sour to cause scours or üiillsf All of tnese causes act to the disadvantage of the summer-hatched chicken, but ail of this can be guarded against if one will but tak tne trouble. SPItl.MiFIKLD AM) M'KIXLKY. "Anti-Expanslonlsts" Have Discredited Themselves Anew. New Y'ork Bvenlng Sun. The action of the trustees of the public library of Springfield. Mass., In refusing to allow a statue of President McKinley to be placed In the grounds over whh h they have control will give these individuals a sort of notoriety that they will be sorry for. There was a stormy meeting of the board. The opposition to the proposition came from the 'Antl-lmperlallsts." as they call themselves. They wer. milling to forget the manner of the President's desth, his striking private and public virtues, snd all because of the fact that they did not approve of the policy of expansion which was a feature of his stirring period o! offi' . The whole Incident is inde. ent "Anti-expansion'' has long ceased to be a practical political issue. The new territory which we obtained some years ago is accepted as a part of our possessions, to be administered and cared for to the beat of our ability. The vulgar spire and petty malice which prompted this slight to the memory of a great and good man will astonish decent persons of all parties. The public authorities of Springfield should take action at onct snd provide another site, so that their town may not oe made an object of ridicule. It Is a curious fact thtt this action was taken on the very day that a committee of Englishmen had been formed to place a statue of George Washington in St Paul's Cathedral in London, as a companion to the monuments of Nelson and Wellington. "Englishmen." said Dean Sinclair, "have at last fully recognised the great quslities of Washington. I feel assured that nothing mill be more popular In this country than such a tribute to that great man of English birth who has done so much for the world's history, not, only for the young nation across the sea. but for Ort-at Britain as well." Yet the library trustees of Springfield no doubt would be very angry If anybody were to suggest that they were not true and pure patriots. William Tlbhy Dead. 1MTT8BCRG. Pa..
