HILL PBAISES BEY AN The Famous New York Democrat Speaks at Chicago. Declares That Imperialism la the Vital Uaestlea of the Campalpa «ai4 Caaaot Be Sap* pressed.

Enthusiasm ran high at the Second Regiment armory in Chicago, Friday night, October 19, when David B. Hill, former governor of New York and democratio leader, was brought to the front by Mayor Harrleon and the Cook County Marching club. When he got a hearing Mr. Hill said in part: “If there existed no other reason, it is believed that a sense of common dancer to our free institutions, now being imperiled by the attacks of our common adversaries, has cemented the democracy of the east and west together In their patrlotio efforts to effect a change in the administration of our national affairs—a change of measures and of men. 'In the spirit of democratic unity, which 1 believe' now largely everywhere prevails, I visit you as an humble representative of the eastern democracy in the Interest of ' a cause which is dear to every follower of Thomas Jefferson, to counsel together how best we may insure the success of these cherished principles of government which were first enunciated by that grekt founder of our party organisation. "The thoughtful citizen, anxious to discharge his duty at the approaching election. naturally Inquires what is the most Important issue Involved to whioh he « should give his careful conslderatlen. Without depreciating the Importance of the questions of trvuts, finances, monetary reform, taxation, centralisation, government by injunction, home jrule, economy and other questions worthy Of attention, it was believed by the Kansas City convention that the vital question of this campaign would be whether our form of government ie to be preserved in all its simplicity and integrity. It is called, in brief, the Issue of ‘imperialism.’ In other words, it is the issue of a republic versus an empire. "It is the one subject which has largely engrossed popular Interest since the day the nominations of each party were made. The interest in it intensifies as the campaign progresses. Like Banquo’s ghost, it will not down. "President McKinley says there is no such issue, and yet he devotes the greater part of his extended letter of acceptance In antagonising It. Senator Depew scouts the Idea of any danger to this country from what he calls ‘American imperialism.* and occupies half of his time in his public speeches in endeavoring to persuade his hearers that they ought to tolerate It. Gov. Roosevelt, recently ‘promoted’ to the vies presidential nomination through the disinterested (?) efforts of Senators Platt and Quay, gives nearly all of his attention in his public utterances to the discussion of this topic. “It is an issue which cannot be ignored; it cannot be ridiculed; it cannot be suppressed; it overshadows all other issues; it is here to stay. It involves the perpetuity of our republic, the nature of which is sought to be changed by men who call themselves Americans, but who are British In sentiment, British in sympathy and British in financial interest. “It is true there is no openly avowed proposition by republicans to change the form of our government, and no one would expect such a frank confession, but nevertheless their attitude in regard to the Philippine islands and Porto Rico shows that the nature of our institutions is being sought to be changed—If not boldly, then at least Indirectly; Insidiously, but surely. It is possible that the mere form of a republic may survive with militarism rampant, with the civil law silent, with immense standing armies eating out the substance j>f the people, with a nations* debt mountain high, with a written constitution disobeyed and trampled upon, with colonial possessions, which are only held by monarchical governments, with the rule of might prevailing Instead of right; but such a government, with all the characteristics of an empire, would be a travesty upon ‘a genuine republic’ and all that It implies. “There is no place for a colonial system under our constitution. This government cannot remain part republic and part empire. There will be an irrepressible conflict between two inconsistent and irreconcilable political systems, and bojh cannot survive. “The attempt of the national administration to hold the Philippine islands against the consent of their people has led to the promulgation of a new doctrine in American affairs, which insists upon the ■ establishment of a system of colonial governments over conquered or purchased possessions, not to be formed into states nr territories, but to permanently remain as colonies, and to be governed by congress outside of the constitution, and according to its own discretion. This possession is unprecedented, unwarranted and revolutionary. It presents a momentous issus Involving the preservation oi our republican form of government and the maintenance of the supremacy of our federal constitution. “Upon what a slender thread do the liberties of a people depend when the unrestricted discretion of a congress is all that stands between a monarchy and a republic—between an arbitrary and a free government. The safety of a state largely depends upon the limitations of the power of its rulers—upon the wisdom of its written constitution. "I call the attention of workingmen to the fact that for the first time in the history of the country one of the great political parties, to wit. the democratic party, has adopted a plank In its national platform favoring the establishment of a department of labor In the cabinet of the president. If this proposition shall meet the approval of the American people by the election of thes democratic national candidates, a department of labor will be established which will aid materially in advancing the interests of workingmen and adding to the importance and dignity of labor. "William J. Bryan does not need to be introduced or described to an American audience. The people know him—the farmers, the mechanics, the laborers, the merchants. the bankers, the editors, the lawyers—all classes of the community have studied the history of his life and public services. He has stood the public scrutiny as no other modern statesman has done, and the people are satisfied with what they have read and seen, and are ready to cast their suffrages for him. If elected—and his prospects are improving every day and hour—he will discharge the high and arduous duties of chief executive of the nation to the satisfaction and honor of the American people."

BITS OF INTEREST, Only one city in Sweden would be classed with our larger cities—Stockholm, which is somewhat smaller than Pittsburgh. Paper money is at a premium at Nome. Miners find it more convenient than gold and pay as much as two per cent, in excess of its face value for it. Tax valuations in Tennessee have been increased $25,000,000 Dy the operations of a new law requiring assessment at cask value.

THE LIVE STOCK TRADE. Vam«n Wfco Wmli B« SaccMifaf Mut lata tha ChaiRtav Waati •( tfta Market,

auc wanting wanes ox xao uti stock market go on almost imperceptibly, but they are followed more clorely in sharp competitive times like the present, than in the past when the volume of live stock was so large that dealers were not obliged to note closely trivial features of the market. For instance, a few years ago, hogs averaged heavi jr than they do now and the heavy or lardmaking k.nd were more salable because the lard was in good demand at comparatively better money-mak-ing prices than at the present. The use of cotton seed oil with lard has helped to keep down lard prices. People used more clear pork years ago; now the gmeral demand is foi Yorkers and medium weight hogs For some time there h&s been e, scare! ty of bacon and prices have held rath er firm with a good demand. One reason for this is that bacon hogs are not so easy to get, as they must be long and fleshy, but not fat, and average 150 to 180 pounds. These conditions depend on the xeed. In Canada the farmers feed pecs and pea meal so generally In preference to corn, which is higher for them than fox us, that they produce bacon hogs and they get a better price for them. The cured bacon brings a higher pries in Canada by three to four cents than it does here. The point to be remembered by the producer is to mark well the changing conditions of the trade and to follow them very closely by every means of information possible. You can't get too much information about • market. You may pride yourself on the fine quality of the hogs you feed and oh your skill, otherwise on your farm, but if you fail, from lack of market knowledge, to get a fair price for your products, you are throwing away money that you might just as well save. A study of the conditions of the live stock trade shows that there are many changes, and, surprising as it may seem, that many shippers will persist in ignoring the facts after they j»re repeatedly instructed. Don’t be backward about grasping the j situation, loading yourself with facts i in regard to markets to which you ship, and you will then discover why some of your bright friends get better prices sometimes than you do.— Sherwood, in Ohio Farmer. PUTTING? AWAY ICE. Description of an Economical Way of Storing Up a Good Crop in the Country. Level a slightly elevated piece o! ground and cover the space with two layers of rails, placing the top layer crosswise the^ first and laying the rails close together. Build a rail pen, | with this double layer of rails for the ! floor, and around the pen set boards on | end close together. Cover the bottom j of the pen one foot deep with sawdust, then put in the ice, leaving a space 18 inches between the ice and the pen. Fill this space with sawdust, tamping it down well. Care must be taken to keep the boardain place, so the sawdust j will not work. When you have filled : in ice to the top of the boards, build i the pen higher and put on a seoond , tier of boards, fitting in with sawdust as j before. Build the ice-house, or ice- | pen, as high as desired, then cover with j 8*/* feet of sawdust, put on a roof that | will not desk, and you can keep ice j through the hottest weather. When | sawdust cannot be obtained for pack- : ing, chaff will do, but the spaoe between I the ice and sides of the pen wiM have ! to be increased to Sy* feet, and the chaff will have to be packed very hard I to exclude the air. If sand or fine j earth is mixed with the chaff, it may i be packed tighter. Do not allow any ; of the chaff to get between the layj ers of ioe, as it will prevent the cakes 1 from sticking together. "When you wish to take out ice, begin at one corner, at the top, remove the sawdust or chaff, saw down as deep as desired, then drive a flat wedge between the layers. Put back the sawdust or chaff and tamp down to keep out the air. I have known of sufficient iee being kept in this way to pack and ship 1,000 pounds of fish per week during the summer season. This is the cheapest way I know of to put up ioe where the timber for the rail may be had. Where planks are cheaper than rails, set four posts and nail up the planks as you put in the ice, using sawdust or chaff for packing as with the other method. Where a lake "or pond is convenient, one can put up a large stock of ice with very littte labor and expense.—J. N. Parker, in Prairie Farmer.

Teat ta Wtaterlag Bees. In the tall of ’98 I had about 85 colonies in the bee cellar in tenframe Langs troth hires. The supers were filled with chaff and leaves. They all lived through the winter, but in the spring the combs were damp and moldy and the bees were very weak and much reduced in numbers. There was no ventilation in the top of the hives, which, in my opinion, was the cause of the trouble, says the N. E. Homestead. My oellar was dug three feet in the ground, and the roof covered with boards, chaff and earth. I now have the oellar seven feet under ground, with poles laid across the top and covered with feet of earth. I like this very much better. The temperature is about 45 degrees. As an experiment I tried keeping two colonies last winter in the same way, and they came out stronger than any. All signs point to a big feed of sheet and lainbs this fall, especially in Nebraska, where many of the cattle feed* era are going over to sheep.

FACTS ABOPT TREES.

The orange tree ia eery fruitful; a •Ingle tree will produoe to,000 orange* fit for uae. A good lemon tree will pro* dvoe 8,000 lemons, The eucalyptus trees in Australia penetrate from 180 to 320 feet into the •oil with their roots, which absorb all moisture within a radius of 30 to 60 feet. At the birth of a Japanese baby a tree is planted, which must remain untouched until the marriage day of the child. When the nuptial hour arrives the tree is cut down, and a skillful cab* inet maker transforms the wood into furniture, which is considered by the young people as the most beautiful of all ornaments of the house. A Glasgow man has in his garden what he calls a “tree clock.” Fir trees are planted in such positions that one of them will shade a portion of the house at every hour of sunlight. For example, at nine o’clock in the morn* ing the ‘‘nine O’clock tree”shades the dining-room, while as the sunlight changes the “ten o’clock tree” shades the room above or adjoining it. and so on through the day. On a sunny day this “tree clock” insures a succession of shady places round the house. Two logs of African mahogany were sold by Messrs. Edward Chaloner A Co., in Liverpool, for no less than £1,536. They formed one tree, and weTe bought for the purpose of being cut into veneers for the decoration of palatial residences of some of the merchant princes of the United States. The veneers are used instead of wall papers, and, being beautifully figured, give a rich effect. The prices realized for the two logs were respectively ten shillings three pence and seven shillings three pence per superficial foot, which is a record for African mahogany log* in the rough state, as imported. FRENCHMEN AND SPORT. (From London Truth.) M. Thiers hated game shooting. Grevy shot like & Jura peasant, and before he ro^e to the presidency of the republic liked to bring back a full bag to his cook. MacMahon’s manner of shooting wa* manly and unaffected. He hated battues, which he looked upon as massacres. One just fired straight forward without taking aim, and the game fell on the ground.Carnot, a mathematician and a man of etiquette liked the battues. They left nothing to chance and little to personal skill. Given the number of birds and fowling pieces, one could always tell the amount that would figure in the tableaux. Th|* tableaux is the French word descriptive of the show of birds laid out by the gamekeepers in a clearing of the forest at the end of the day.' Sometimes it includes four-footed as well as feathered game, and is quite a picture. M. Felix Faure was a great slaughterer of game. His master of the. game preserves was Maj. Lagarenne (Angiice, Rabbitwarren—-and no misnomer). President Fau& boasted the last yeai of his life that in the shooting season that had just ended he fired 2,000 shots. The shooting in presidential reserves goes on in parallel alleys, in which game is driven by beaters. The sportsmen blaze away. Things are arranged to enable the chief gueat to kill the greatest number. When there is nc guest of mark at a presidential chasse the president does the greatest execution. The late emperor’s gun was always first in the Compiegne preserves unless when another crowned hea^ was with him. A COLUMN OF FIGURES. A ton of soot results from the burning of 100 tons of coal.
