Mr Cline Writes Letter. . In a recent paragraph we called atteation®o the absurdity of the claims made by certain iusurgeunts Republicans that they alone brought nhunt! the reforins that marked the last Reg- | glon of econgress. Thesae congress l men did nothing but vate wnh»lh@i Domoerats thereby lending aid ta-I dewceratie messures, WVith even noers presumption than the man whose wife stood herground and Kill: ed bruin. and then proclaimed tiat "L oana Betsey killed the bear’ these | feliows stand out behind the declara- I tion that they aloue beat the life out ] of the system, they killed the Cannon bear.. Mr. Clite in the followiug letter shows -the hollowness of this elaim, “Hon. J. E. McDonald. : Editor of THE BANYER. ' Ligounier, Ludiana. Dear Sir:—l was glad to see your timely criticismn of the remark of Ga field of Otilo, where he gives all (tie credit for progressive legislation to the insurgents, during the last sesston of congress, Credit mustbe givel to those republicaus who foliowed (lreir cousciences rather thau their party. At'the same time they wouid Lsave been absolutely powerless with out the help ot & united democracy. The republicans had a majority of qnore than forty in the house. At no time did the insurgeuts number more: than thirty-five and that was when they voted with us on the Norris resolution on the 19th. of March to take Mr. Caunon from the ruales committee Within two hours when Mr. Cannon flung down the challenge to | declare the office of Speaker vacant and Burleson of Texas, offered the memorable resolution, all bup nine of | them, under the whip and spur of| their party leaders went back iuto| .he republican fold. Had' they nct hpern protested by the democrats 1 their iusurgency, they would have heen ground to pieces under the iron neel of the'speaker, aud they know it. Not a siugle reform measure found Its way through the house that ‘was not put there by the democratic party, acting practically as a unit and assisted by some of the insursents, and that too, against the most determined opposition of the radical element of the republican party. - Exceptiug the appropriation Dbills, the rail road bill was the important omrece of legislation of the session just closed. What is -its history? When this bill came from the pen of Attorney General Wickershawm, who is supposed to represent the people, put who in fact was representing the rail roads and was 8o charged in both the house and senate, it contained all those features especially desirable by the rail roads. It contained a provision exempting the rail roads from the operation of the'Sherman Auti-Truss Act. Italso contained a provision permitting one road to hold stock in | a competing line It permitted roads to post rates aud eompel the shipper to test the reasonableness of the rate by.a direct proceeding. All these vicous sections or provisions the democratic party acrayed itself against and knocked them out. It required the roads themselves to establish the reagonableness of their rates before they could enforce them. By ameudment-the roads were denied the right to charge more for a short haul, proportionately, than for along baul ltputinto the billa section requiring a phyesical valuation of railways and express, telephone and telegraph companies, so that the general publiic might know the assests, the actual assets of these corporatious when they put their stocks aud bonds on the market. All these features were inserted by either the democrats or by the insurgents by way of ameudments, Several strong features of the bill, proposed by the demdcerats were lost because the insurgents refused to suppors them, amopg them beiug the one to eliminate the commerce court, as provided.in the bill and charge the Inter State Commerce Commission with all the business, thereby saving the people $lOO,OOO a year. This was lost on a tie vote, the insurgents refusing to vote with us in sufficient numbers io knoek out the section. ; 1 have no disposition to take from the insurgents any credit, but I 1n gigt that the reform elements and those that protect the people in the rail road bill were mainly democratic amendments to which the independent repulicans gave their support. The radical republicans fought every measure looking to pregress. Even the establishment of a bureau of mines. & measure respon|sive to the general public from every quarter, and espetially after the Cherry 111. disaster, whereby the government expects to discover the causes of explosions in mines and thereby prevent the loss of life every vear, that is a national calamity, the |regular organization headed by Mr. Tawney, chairman of the appropriations ccmmittee, fought the bill from its inception, The reductions in appropriation bills, what few they were able to make were made by the democrats, assisted by the insurgents: The people ought to remember that the force that withstands the raids of the republican party upon the treasury, and its efforts to serve privileged classes at the expense of the masses is the democratic party, not the insurgent republicans for they are too few in number, and cannot be controlled at all times by their own organizatiou. - ' Very respectfully : . - CYRUSCLINE.

ACCUSED WIFE SLAYER TAKEN

Run ,Down and Captured by Posse Scon After Firing Fatal Shot. :

Chicago Heights, 111,, July 27—00 n a fonely road six miles sQutb of Chicago He'ghts a posse of citizens and police

=trrounded a clump of woods in which John Barcha, a supposed wife . murdered, was hiding early today, and after a fight succeeded in arresting him. :

Barcha, a few hours before, had, it is charged, shot and killed his wife, Margaret, in their home at Sixteenth and Portland streets, Chicago Heights. He fired one shot, the police say, which took effect in her side, killing her instantly. o ;

He fled and the neighbors joined in the pursuit. When he was found in the woods he drew -a knife and fought the posse before he was finally overpowered. It is believed Barcha was jealous. They had been married but a short time.

ENLISTMENT AWOKE HER IRE

Old Soldier Says Great Rebellion Was the Cause of All His Domes- . tic Troubles.

_ Grand Rapids, Mich., July 27.—After being separated from his wife for fifty yeéars, Charles M. Tuttle, an inmate of the Soldiers’ home, has just begun suit for divorce. - L Tuttle testified on the witness stand that his going away to war to fight for his country for four years was ‘the beginning of all his domestic infelicities. He declared that his wife, Elizabeth, never recovered from her anger at his action in going away. The couple were married in this county in 1851.

How Taft Acts And Fights When Angry He become furiously angry; he storms and swears; bhe denounces those who oppose him; he will not see them again. He makes it a personal matter with every man who opposes his measures. Thus in furious anger he denounces Pinchot— thus in earlier days, when he was secretary of war, he denounced the Panama engineer, Wallace. ' Nor 18 this all. When he fights, be tends, as might be expectad, toward the same sort of personalism manifested in his friendships. In combating the insurgent senators and congressmen of his own party, he with-holds their patronage; dees not allow them to make their customary appointments.. When Shaw, the deposed attorney of the forestry bureau, wished to practice before the interior department, the presidentrefused his permission. Senators Overman and Simmons went to intercede for Shaw,and Mr. Taft violeutly and angrily denounced Shaw as a traitor. When he is criticised by the newspapapers and magazines, he does not admit that this criticism may spring from an houest difference in principles,but seeks for a personal reason. and strikes back, with the implication that the newspapers and magazines are against him ‘because he has not stood out for a lower duty on paper pulp, and berause he hassuggested an advance in second-class postal rates. Thus thesame temperamantal personalism which makes him a choice friend and a loyal subordinate, tends to make him a trucalent and autocratic superior. who de ‘mands, upon pain of banishmeut, ab&solute personal. loyalty. — Ray Stanuard Baker, in July American.

Pacific Coast Rate Reduction.

Not in a long time has more official light been thrown on the opera tions of the railroads than by the rulipg of the inter-state ccmimerce commerse commission in what are known as the Pacific coast cases. In almost every instance existing rates have beeu found to be ‘“unjnst and un reasonable,”’ and substantial reduc tion have been made. Some of the rates disclosed by the commission’s investigation are astounding For instance for carrying a carload of firstclass traffic, containing twenty thousand pounds, from Omaha to Reno, .the Union and Southern Pacific lines charge $B5B, while if the same car goes 150; miles farther, to Sacaamento. the charge is $258 less The first-class rate from Omaha to Reuo is $4.29, and to Sacramento only $3. If the same freight originates at Denver. five hundred miles wess of Omaha, the rates are the same; if at Boston, 1700 miles east of Omaha, the rates are stiil the same. — Indianapolis News. ; '

How about the Weeds?

This is the time of year for cutting weeds, before the seeds shall ripen: The thrifty farmer keeps his fence corners and roadsides clean, but his shiftless neighbor partially nullifies the good effects by making every uncultivated spot on his premises a seed bed for noxious plants. Within the city limits, too, the vacaut lots, most of them, are an eyesore to thrifty citizens and a nuisance generally, The wisest use of them would be as garden lots for such as would ultilize them—but thatis to late for this season; and the next best thing is play. grounds for the children. But in any ‘event the weeds should be cut. even if the village authorities have to in- \ terfere.—South Bend Times, '

Alfalfa The Hoée of The Farmer. _

Iln the magaziue number of The Outlook for June is an article on the ‘researches made for the agricultural department by Prof. Nils Ebbsen Hausen, a .Dane by birth, but an American by adoption, who i 8 eonneeted with the Sonth Dakota Agri cultural Colloge. These researches were to obtaiu species of afalfa that might be adapted to all soils and elimates of the United States. They were chiefly ' made in Asi:, but Northern Afriea aud Southeastern Europe were also investigated Commencing in 1894, they have occapied over twelve years. and ~euncountered ingredible bardships and endurance, especially iu Central and Northern Asia. The acconnt of the travels rivals Peary’s trip to the pole for risk and adventure— and the result 1s far mwore valuable.

Alfalfa is a forage plant of unusual food content; it is extremely palatable to live stock, and a meal from It furnishes execelleni food for man; it gathers nitrogen abundastly, restores and renovates the soil, produces wonderfully large crops, and is long-lived. Hence it may well be termed the hope of the farmer. » Long before the Christian era in the region between India and the Mediterranean, famous for its flocks and herds, alfalfa was the prinecipal forage crop. Quite possibly theghwuep which? Rachel watered, the flocks which the sons of Jacob tended. and the camels, agges and sheep which constituted the wealth of Job, all fed aupon alfalfa. In the fifth century before Christ—2soo years ago—the plant was carried from Persia to Greece, thence to Italy and Spain. The Spanish introduced it into South America, and within the last fifty years it has been brought fron. Chili into the United States. . Prof. Hansen had been an enthusiastic expert in the hybridization of fruits so as to combine the rieh flavors of the southern species with the hardiness of the northern, and had produced many valuablevarieties for the climate of Minnesota and Dakota before he was employed on the alfalfa

enterprise. . A In the course of his later investigations he has found many varieties of the forage plant—some that thrive where the mercury freezes and the cold reaches 90 degrees below zero; some that do bestin the hot, arid regions that are virtually desert lands; some thatluxuriate in temperate climates and prairie soil,and some that perfer the mountain slopes. All of them are highly nutritious, and all are accumulators and sBoil restorers. He has bought bomoe seeds of all, and is now experimenting with them, and possibly will evolve new varieties. But be is already sure of plants adapted to every part of this country from the deserts of zArizona to the frozeu fields of Alaska.

Entoerprising farmers all over the land are already utilizing the plaunt in restoring the fertility of the soil and atthe same time obtaining a profit for their labor and outlay-

Promise of Fine Meteoric Displays

Althouzh duoriug the last two months shooting stars have not been_ very numerous, and attention was di verted from them to Halley’s comet, the meteoric displays of the next six weeks promise to be plentiful. As Nature points out in a recent article, July meteors ‘become extremely abundant ou and after the middle of the month. * There will be a very active display from Aquarius. reaching its maximum in the last five days of July. Several days before the Aquarids become 80 numerous, meteors directed from Perseus and moving with great swiftness will be observable and will continue until Augustis far advanced.—New York Herald. .

How to Make the Change

~ Among those who like to mingle thought with their sports a pleasant hour may be spent by transforming oue word to another by the changing of a single letter ata time. For example one of the company writes upon the board the word “‘*beef’”, and says itis to be changed to ‘‘pork’. A second person goes to the board and by the change of one letter makes it beet The third person changes it to beat, so by each one chaunging one letter it becomes successively, besf, beet, beat, peat, pert, port and pork. Or change nose to hand thus; nose, hose, host, hast. Aart, hurt, hunt, Hint, hind, hand. —Ex. e

The Burden of The Burdened.

Chbarity workers have gi\;en out figures to show the inadequacy of their measures of relief forsocial ills,

Investigation in Buaffalo, N. Y., showed that 11,000 unskilled laborers earned less—by $2,338,000 annually—than the estimated minimum on which their familiez could be supported decently. Yet the total public and reported private charity was but $21,000. So there 11,000 laborers still lacked $2,317,000 in nacessaries. = We provide only fairly well for the victims of great disasters. Yet we give soarcely any releif to vietims of the equally great disasters which occur as part of our daily' life, but which are less sensational and are not written up. — Albany Times Union. )

Death To The English Sparrow.

The department at Washington has published & balletiu, No. 383, on the English sparrow. It shows the destructiveness of the bird and also its small economic value. Iu fact, it demonstrates what many farmers and fruit raisers know “to their sorrow, that it is as obnoxious and destructive in the bird world as theé rat is among animals. What is of more importance, the bulletiu shows how the pests may be distroyed. - By cooperative action throughout the eountry there might not be an.Englisb sparrow left at the end of two years It is another evidence of Secretary Wilson’s zeal for the benefit of the people, and all should avail themselves of it by getting the bulletin and following its suggestions.. Address the Department of Agriculture, Washington. The bulletin costs nothing. . Tl
