POLITICS OF THE DAY

ISSUES NEXT YEAR. Discussion as to what the dominant Issue will be during the campaign of 1900 Is attracting more or less attention from editors and politicians just now. There can be no harm in discussing thia matter, but it is not at all likely that ths issues can be mode up with any degree of certainty before the time for conflict arises. In this city not long ago William J. Bryan reiterated his belief that the Democratic national convention will “reaffirm the Chicago platform.” “But,” he added, “no man has a right at this time to say what the Democratic platform will be. You do not know what the next twelve months will bring forth.” And when asked, “Will free silver be the dominant Issue in the next campaign?” he replied: “It Is altogether too early to say what will be the dominant issue, but whatever the issue is the Democratic party will meet it squarely.” When the combat opens the dominant issue will be that which is nearest to the people. It will be the question of Immediate Importance. It will not be a matter of ancient history, nor will it be an academic theory. It will be a live question. The currency question is important, but there are other questions which may prove of more Instant and vital import. The Republicans may force the money matter to the „Xront by attempting to secure gold legislation In the next Congress, but such action is extremely problematical. Imperialism may have run its course before the Presidential campaign begins, or it may have developed into a burning issue. But the trusts will be In evidence, stronger, more dangerous, more Insolent than ever. The Republican party may endeavor to fool the people with a paltering pledge to oppose trusts, but this scheme will not work, and it is quite likely that one of the dormant questions before the people In 1900 will be that concerning the trusts.—Chicago Democrat “Currency Reform.” After much tribulation the House Republican Com mi tee has, it is alleged, brought forth a scheme of currency “reform.” This scheme is not so broad, nor so long as that devised by the Indianapolis “sound” money convention. It is a compromise and it will satisfy nobody. Briefly summarised, it is as follows: “The redemption of all obligations of the government in gold on demand. Greenbacks, when once redeemed for gold, to be reissued only for gold. Permitting national banks to issue notes to the par value of their government bonds deposited in the treasury, instead of 90 per cent, as at present Permitting the minimum capital of national banks to be $25,000, instead of $50,000, as at present.” There is nothing in this about making silver dollars redeemable in gold, nor is there a suggestion of making all the outstanding obligations of this nation gold obligations. Neither is there a hint of placing the issuing of paper money entirely in the hands of the banks. It seems that the House Republican caucus committee was not prepared to approve “wild cat” money secured only by the office furniture of the banking houses. It must not be concluded, however, that the schemes of the money power to place the gold standard absolutely in power will be abandoned. The plan suggested by the caucus is simply an “entering wedge.” Later on stronger methods will be advocated. If the Republicans remain in power the “wild cat” money scheme will be urged, and if the House and Senate can be controlled such a plan will finally be put into execution. The only hope for the people to escape slavery to the money power rests In the success of Democracy. Expansion and Taxation. The people, on account of this expansion policy, are paying war taxes in time of peace at the rate of half a million a day, but these revenues will barely suffice to meet the expenditures and additional taxation will become necessary if the policy of the administration is maintained. Instead of assisting the Filipinos to attain self-government. Instead of keeping the promises made to them a year ago, when they fought side by side with our army against the common enemy, a war is being carried on for their subjugation, thereby bringing shame and disgrace upon the American people and their boasted love for liberty.—Denver Post. Too Late in Any Event. It would therefore appear that It would be good politics on the side of the administration not to let too long a time elapse between peace “with honor and glory,” and the opening of the next Presidential campaign. It would be a smart stroke to end the war just far enough in advance of the next Presidential election for Mr. McKinley to reap the benefits of the honor and glory of peace, but too late for sober thought on the part of the masses to affect the result—Richmond Dispatch. What la Glory? Of what concern is it to us how the Philippines govern themselves and of what benefit can it be to the people of this country to rule over foreign and aMen races? It is said it wffl coat SMMV--000,000 a year to maintain our sovereignty over those islands, and an for what? Nothing at all, except for the "glory” of it and the making of a few men rich who wish to lay cables and build battleships. If men must ba en*

riched at the expense es the Government It is far better to award them eontracts for Intemat improvements, and the money will then at least be kept at home. And as for “glory," which is the more glorious—to stand for peace and justice in the world or to engage in this “destiny*’ business of slaughtering and despoiling helpless and distant peoples T —lndianapolis Sentinel. Tinkering: the Currency. Just in what shape the currency question will come before the next Congress is not yet determined by the Republican “reformers.” That matter will be governed largely by political considerations. McKinley wants to be renominated, and, of course, hopes to be re-elected President. The St Louis Republican platform pledged him to bimetallism. His party has been doing all it could to secure gold monometallism. The currency tinkers at Atlantic City have evolved a scheme which will contract the currency by Impounding all the greenbacks paid into the national treasury, and which are not to be paid out except for gold. But the business of the country will not patiently endure a contraction of the currency. The tinkers know this and have suggested that the national banks be allowed to issue notes to the full value of the bonds deposited to secure such issue, instead of 90 per cent, only, as at present. Another sugestion is to allow the establishing of new national banks with a minimum capital of (25,000 Instead of the (50,000 now required. But all these propositions may be disregarded by Congress, as the main thing is to boom McKinley, who has no earnest convictions whatever on the money question. McKinley Ont for Votes. The President has a right to pay a visit to the West if he wishes to do so. and his friends have a right to pretend that his visit is for some other than its real purpose, but the more they pretend, the more general will be the conviction that they are only pretending. As the days go on the chances for electing a Democratic President appear to be improving, and the brightening of the Democratic prospect is not a good omen, as the President sees it It is understood that Mark Hanna expects that some Eastern States that went for McKinley in 1896 will go against him in 1900, and it is necessary that the loss should be made good through the recovery of some of the Western States that voted against McKinley three years ago. It is easy to understand why a difficult and delicate task of this nature should be intrusted to the President himself, and this has led to the projecting of the Western trip that Is to have no politics in it.—Binghamton Leader. On Danaeron* Ground. Imperialism places itself above the constitution and ignores it as the trusts and combines ignore the laws whenever they come in conflict with their designs. This is imperialism of the most dangerous kind and unless the people wake up and manfully do battle for the rights guaranteed to them by the fundamental law of the land there will be no end to the assumption of power by an administration which has already gone so far outside of the law. The matter is deserving of the most serious consideration of ail fair-mind-ed, liberty-loving people who do not want to see constituional government displaced by the absolute power of imperialism. The administration is venturing on dangerous ground when in its mad desire for supremacy it annuls the fundamental law of the land. —Denver Post. Aliens or Rebels? The Federal immigration commissioner at San Francisco has forbidden ten Filipinos to land, on the ground that they are alien contract laborers. This should make a test question for the United States Supreme Court to settle, If the people of the Philippines are aliens, then those of than in arms against the United States certainly cannot be rebels. And If they are not aliens, then of course they are United States Citizens, and entitled to the privilege of moving to and fro throughout the territory of the United States and getting work whore they can find It.— Springfield Republican. A Hopeless Job. It is going to be a mighty awkward job to conduct an anti-trust campaign with the Honorable William McKinley and the Honorable John W. Griggs sitting on the safety valve. The American people are easily led by the nonet as the Honorable Jdhn R. Tanner knows to his profit, but we greatly doubt Whether they are so gullible as to accept as apostles of the anti-trust crusade the very men who are openly and notoriously the beneficiaries, apologists and obedient servants of every trust, combine and monopoly in the country.— Chicago Chronicle.

SILVER TO BE THE ISSUE.

T euhrvm* .--9p*ofc*rw Dectar* 19 to 1 Is the 1900 nattteCry. That free silver at 16 to 1 wiH be th* foremost twee in the Democratic national platform next year was declared positively by every speaker at th* opening sessions of the Ohio Valley, League of Bimetallic €3nb* tn Lodrrffie. John P. Altgeld of THinoisi Congressman J. M. Robinson of Indiana. Ravin* J. Van Vorhis of Indianapolis and James P. Tarvin of Kentucky, president of the league, addressed the delegates. Each insisted that silver must be kept to the front until victory erowns the efforts of tite bimetallists. Bryan sentiment was evident, many declaring him the only man to lead the silver forces to success. Two meetings of the convention were held—one in the afternoon and the other In tike evening. James P. Tarvin was th* orator in the afternoon and John P. Altgrid in the evening. Both were plain in their speech. They were for the 16 to 1 plank without change as the great issue for the Democratic party in 1900, and for Bryan as the candidate. The convention developed a movement to capture for Louisville the national Democratic convention next year. Th* prominent silver men of the vicinity in order to further the project asked the leaders of the party present to support th* Kentucky city and use their influence with the national committee in the choice of th* meeting place. A banquet to Judge Tarvin by the Young Men’s Democratic Club was given at night, at which Mr. Bryan, John P. Altgeld and other distinguished men were present, and at which 300 plates were laid. Mr. Bryan responded to the toast, “Ths Democratic Party.” Following Mr. Bryan Charles K. Wheeler of Kentucky responded to “The American Army and Navy.” David R. Murray of Kentucky responded to the toast, “Shall we retain the Philippines as a part of our permanent possessions?” Ex-Gov. John P. Altgeld of Illinois responded to the toast, “Government and Municipal Ownership of Public Franchises.” Following Mr. Altgrid. George Fred Williams of Massachusetts responded to “The Money of the Constitution.”

IOWA REGIMENT ATTACKED.

Twe Men Woandcff Near San Fernanda—Macabebe* Enlisted. The Filipino insurgents reoccupied the lines around San Fernando, attacked the lowa regiment's outposts and wounded two men. Captain French took the remainder of the Twenty-second infantry to Canadaba, the insurgents having appeared in considerable force thereabouts. Capt. Wren of the Seventeenth infantry has completed the enlistment of 100 native Macabebes as seouts. The Macabebe city of Pampanga, which was always loyal to Spain, is now loyal to the Americans. They are always fighting Tagals, and now offer a regiment. By the reorganization of troops, Gen. with the First division, now commands the Manila defenses from Caloocan to Pasay, while MacArthur commands all north of the headquarters to San Fernando.

SIX PEOPLE DROWN AT TOLEDO

Three Men and Three Women Perish Before Aid Reaches Them. Late Wednesday night six persons were drowned in the Manmee river abreast of the most frequented dock in Toledo, while hundreds of people listened to their cries for help. Shortly after the pleasure steamer Pastime passed down the sailors on board the State of New York heard cries for help coming from the river. The steamer's searchlight was brought into play, and it showed six persons—three men and three women —struggling in the water, bnt there was no trace of a boat. In a few minutes one of the steamer's lifeboats started to the rescue, but when it had covered half the distance the searchlight showed that all the struggling people had disappeared.

THE FARM AND HOME.

MATTERS O FINTEREST TO FARM. ER AND HOUSEWIFE How to Grow Early Cncumb*rs—Decision a* to Underground Water Right*—Cure for Hog Cholera-Small Farm* the Moat Profitable. Take a barrel and, with an inch anger, bore holes in the lower half, one or two In each stave. Dig a bole in the garden, saving the rich surface soil in a heap by Itself; set the barrel a little more than half its depth in the ground and replace the soil. Fill the barrel almost full of manure from the cow stable, pressing it down firmly, and leaving It lower In the middle than on the sides. Make a nice rich circle 2 feet wide around the barrel, using one bnshel of fine, well-rotted barn-yard manure and the surface soil saved; fork It over until very fine and deep; make a ring 1 foat from the barrel, and 1 inch deep; drop in the cucumber seed, cover and press the soil firm with the hands. Before the plants begin to crowd, thin out all but six goodstrong ones. Pour water Into the barrel as soon as the cucumbers get started and keep the contents thoroughly soaked all the time. The soil must be kept loose and free from grass and weeds. Never allow one to ripen on the vines. Be sure to give plenty of water, and you will be well supplied with good cucumbers. To have them very early mak* small sacks, from old “bone bags,” 5 Inches square when sewed up. Fill these with ‘ fine, rich earth, and press close together I In a shallow box. Plant two seeds, but allow only one to grow In each box. Place the box In a sunny window. Keep moist and give plenty of air, or they will be “leggy.” Set out In the sunshine every pleasant day, and as soon as the weather will permit plant six sacks around the barrel. Cover them on cool nights with old pans or boxes, and you will have cucumbers two weeks earlier than those who plant In the open ground. Gather the cucumj'bers early In the morning, but water may be added ai. any time during the day.—Epitomist Underground Water Rights. The Iron Age (New York) says: An Important decision was handed down , recently by Supreme Court Justice Smith awarding to Benjamin F. Forbell, a market gardener of Queens County, $6,000 damages In his suit against the city of New York, and also enjoining the city from operating a pumping station at Spring Creek, which forms part of the Brooklyn water supply system. Mr. Forbell owns a farm about 2,000 feet from the station. He stated that since the Introi duction of the pumping station he has lost $4,000 or $5,000 yearly because It has drained the water from his land. The station pumps its water from a series of wells sunk so as to tap the underground flow. The evidence satisfied the judge that the operation of the station lowered the water level under the farm several feet. The effect of this was to prevent the owner from growing those crops to which the land was peculiarly adapted, and from which he had previously made a large profit. The judge says: “The property right in waters which flow upon the surface of the ground is no more sacred than property rights in water that flows underground. There can be no escape from the conclusion that the acts of the defendant were Injurious to the plaintiff, and that an action will lie for the damages he has sustained by reason thereof.” Water works of this description are common throughout the country, and the decision Is, therefore, one of wide bearing. Cure for Hog Cholera. A farmer and hog breeder of Lamoille, HL, says there is no need of farmers having hog cholera among their hogs. He has never bad any—at least not since be found out the cause and how to remove It. He says hog cholera is caused by fever and the fever by worms, which two teaspoonfuls of saleratus dissolved in water and poured into the slop will remove. When you notice a hog not doing well, when it refuses Its feed and begins to look scrawny and sick, the chances are 99 to I 100 It has worms. If you kill one and ' examine it, you will And a bunch of worms In its intestines perhaps as large as your fist. These cause constipation and fever, which kill hogs. Oftentimes the worms will eat through the intestines into the stomach. Dissolved saleratus In proportion of two tea spoonfuls to every gallon of water will kill the worms, and almost Immediately your bogs will begin to thrive and look well again.—Warsaw Bulletin. Small Farms Moat Profitable For several years prices have, quite generally, been unremuneratlve and production consequently limited. Farmers have refrained from hiring help and have contented themselves with what could be produced by the familly. I know of no farm that Is yielding to its fullest capacity; yet some are producing more than twice as much per acre as adjoining farms equally good. To illustrate: A farm of 200 acres, 100 of which are Improved, receiving careful treatment and above the average condition of farms in the vicinity, has a cash income of from S6OO to S7OO yearly as the result of the work of two men. An adjoining farm oiKfOrty.acres, with the same labor, averages about SSOO. A river farm of forty acres, with a little more work, gives about SI,OOO. Small holdings, diversity of crops and profitable prices will more than double our production without an£ Increase tn the area of Improved land. France, with nine times our population to the

square mile, produced over eight bushels of wheat per capita for the five years ending with 1897. Our production for the sarnie period was but little more than seven bushels per capita.— North American Review. Alaike Clover, . M It seemed a few yean ago as if red clover-growing must be abandoned because of insect midges that destroyed the seed in the blossom, and the worm that ate both blossom and leaf. Botb these have In most clover-growing districts found parasitic enemies that kept the destroyer in check. If there Is any place where red clover is still hard to grow, alslke or Swedish clover is a good substitute. It Is a true clover, and Intermediate in size between white and red clover, and making in its first crop a fine, sweet hay. Unfortunately, when this crop Is cut the plant dies out, as it is a true biennial, dying after bearing its seed the second year. Alslke clover is often sown with timothy, which it will so overshadow that scarcely a spear of timothy can be seen among the alslke, The alslke needs to be cut so early that what timothy there Is has not got to the heading-out stage. Hence it sprouts readily, and makes an astonishing growth, feeding on the alslke roots that have perished a few weeks before. A good crop of timothy hay can be cut In August on land that has borne alslke hay two months before, and that then only showed a very little straggling timothy among the clover. Oatmeal for Young Chickens. According to analysis oats are among the best grains to promote egg-laying in hens. But as often happens, practice contradicts the conclusions of the chemist. Probably the oat grain Is all right to make eggs, but fed with the hull the mass fills the gizzard too quickly, and possibly even clogs It, so that the oats cannot be digested and the fowl becomes cropbound. At all events, we never changed from whole wheat as feed to oats without noticing a falling off In egg production. But for the youngest chicks we know no better feed than ground oats slightly moistened and fed with milk curd, squeezed until It Is nearly dry. This is as good and cheaper than feeding hard-boiled eggs crumbled fine, though this last should be given occasionally for variety of ration. So soon as the chicks are a week old broken wheat Is their best food. They will very quickly learn to eat whole grains of wheat, but the cracked pieces which are damaged for sale for grinding can be had mor* cheaply and are just as good. Whatever food the chicks have, they should have access to gravel at all times. y Formalin for Potato Scab. In using Insecticides, fungicides and other sprays and washes we should always use those that are non-polsonous, when they are effective. The great objection to using corrosive sublimate In treating seed potatoes to prevent scab, has been that this substance is one of the deadly poisons and must be used with care. Formaline has lately been found to work remarkably well, and it has the advantage of not being particularly poisonous, nor is it difficult to handle. It Is used by adding half a pint of formalin to fifteen gallons of water, or in that proportion for larger amounts. The tubers to be used for seed are soaked In this mixture for two hours before cutting to plant Scab has become so general that some measure should be taken by every one to prevent its ravages, and this formalin treatment is the best all things considered, that has yet been discovered.—Farmers’ Voice. An Original Story. The teacher of a school in the rural districts assigned each pupil the task of writing an original story. On the day when the stories were read a bright little towhead arose and started as follows: “On the green slope of a mountain stood a first-class Jersey cow with three legs.” “That won’t do, Johnnie,” interrupted the teacher, “you are one leg short.” “No, I ain’t,” replied the future author. “You don’t wait to git my plot, which is that a railroad train cut off one leg and-the owner of the cow got $3,000 damages, an’ moved his whole family to Paris in time for the exposition, where the girls will be married to rich Frenchmen and die happy pver afterward.”—Atlanta Constitution.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Thirty Thousand Hoosier Gias* Workers Ont of Employment- Jury Fixe* : Monetary Value of a Fon at 9140 30 —First Joint Township School. * A Madison County jury returned a decidedly novel verdict, in which they established the monetary value of a boy from his fourth to twenty-first birthday. Chas. Guy’s 4-year-old son was drowned in an Elwood sewer two years ago. The father brought action against the city for $lO,000. The jury was instructed to find actual damages and this they did by figuring the cost and earnings of a boy each year from his fourth to his twenty-first birthday. On one side they figured his keeping, his schooling and all other expenditures and on the other side they figured his earning power. Up to his eighteenth birthday there was a deficit, but his earnings after that point made that up and on the seventeen years there was a margin of $149.50. Guy was rendered a judgment for this amount of damages. It took the jury two days to figure out their proposition. Indiana Glass Workers Idle. The closing of the various glass factories as the hot weather approaches brings to light statistics concerning the glass industry. In Indiana alone there are 30,000 men employed in the glass factories. During the hot weather this number of people are out of employment, with few exceptions. Indiana is the greatest window- glass producing State in the Union. There are forty-three window factories, thirty-three flint glass factories, twenty-five greenhouses and three place Glass concerns. The window glass industry is controlled entirely by three labor organizations. There is not a non-union window glass factory in the United States. Three Townships to Euild a School. The first joint township school to be erected in the State will be constructed on the line between Jackson township, Hiami County, Jackson township, Howard County, and Richland township, Grant County. The trustees of the three townships met with Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Cotton and have approved the plan for the erection of a SIO,OOO school building at a point convenient for the pupils of the three townships. Should, the experiment of consolidating the country schools prove satisfactory other buildings will be built. In Guilty of Manslaushter. The trial of Walter Jones for the murder of Edward Adams at Carbon March • 28 was concluded in the Circuit Court at Brazil and given to the jury. After remaining out until 2 o’clock in the morninx the jury brought in a verdict convicting the defendant of manslaughter. Judge McGregor will pass sentence on him. Find Big Field of Asphalt.
