A Scareless Spook.

1t is an old game OF the Republican
organs to pretend that the Democratic
party is for free trade. They think
that they can thus scare some people
into voting for candidates whom they
do not otherwise want to support.
But the Republican party discov-
cred in 1890 that the game did not
work any longer. The people elected
a Democratic House of Representa-
tives by an ant-Repubhcan majority
OF I,33s,2oa.
The Republican party, if it remains
IN power, proposes to keep up the
prices Of food, clothes and building
materials by maintaining the high pro
tective tariff. 1t also proposes to
continue to reduce revenues by keep
ing up prohibitory duties. 1t intends
to meet the deficiency for which it is
responsible by the creation of a new
national debt.
The Democratic party has quite an
other policy. 1t proposes to reduce
tariff taxes and thereby to increase
revenues for the purpose OF meeting
the enormous charges with which the
Billion Dollar Congress has burdened
the country.
This, in brief, is what Republicans
and their secret allies call free trade, u
but the people are no longer scared by
this familiar and badly battered cam
paign spook.-- World

KANSAS grew I42,ooo,ooo bushels
of corn last year, an eighth of the
entire crop of the country. The
crop this year will be a still larger
farction of the entire supply. The
report made by the Kansas Agricult
ural Board, that unless rain comes IN
two days this crop will be irretrievably
damaged, is an extremely serious
one as the Kansas Board is one of the
best in the West and not given to
reckless statement. Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska are four States
which grow one-third Of the corn
raised in this country; and if Kansas
is so badly off the adjoining States
can scarcely escape injury to this crop
perhaps the most important, all things
considered, raised in this country.

PAlGN THE HOTTEST THE COUNTRY

ST. LOUIS, Aug. S.-The Peoples
Party National Executive Committee
held 4 meeting here to-day. But
little actual business was transacted
the meeting being devoted principally
to talk over party matters general y,
and campaign funds and prospect in
particular. A resolution was passed
authorizing the Alabama State Com
mlttee to at once put full electoral
ticket in the field. The recent
Alabama election was discussed at
some length, it was agreed that the
result argued well for the Peoples
party success in that State in the
Fall.

meeting, because most of the old
Greenbackers who have been affiliat-

to support our ticket, and we want to
arrange plan OF campaign that will
assure US OF success in many parts OF
the East.
Chairman Taubeneck announce d
that his Colorado advices showed
that forty-hve papers in Colorado
had deserted the old parties and were
supporting Weaver and Field. OF
these seventeen were formerly Demo-
cratic organs; the others Republican.
The Watson investigation in
Washington was metioned as having
helped the Third party cause wonder,
fully. "The average voter" said Mr..
Rankin, "knows it is true that liquor
is sold at the restaurants in both
branches of the National Congress
and it is but reasonable to suppose
that those Congrssmen who love
liquor should indulge in it to excess
when under the present system OF
debate"
Regarding finances Treasurer
Rankin announced that the people
were responding literally to the recen,

expect TO receive about $4,000
with which we will do as much as
will either of the old parties with

General William Wells,

One of the best soldiers that Vermont
ever produced, died suddenly In New
York City, of disease of the heart, Fri
day of last week. He had been in that
city for several months on account of
the health of his wife and because of
his daughters attendance at school
there. He left his hotel apparently in
perfect health and IN a few hours his
lifeless body was taken back to his
Borrowing friends. Some more than a
year ago he was attacked with angina
pectoris, and his life was then only
saved because of the fortunate pres
ence of physician. Undoubtedly he
died of similar attack without the
necessary relief being at hand. In his
death the city of Burlington and the
state of Vermont lose most honored
citizen. Gen. Wells entered the war
as private in the cavalry regiment
and he left it as Major General, the
greatest promotion that any man re-
ceived during that conflict. He was
born in Waterbury, Vt, Dec IA, 1887,
and resided there, until the breaking
out of the war, being in business with
his father. He won his promotion in
the army by the exhibition of remark
able gallantry in action, combined with
GOODNESS and good judgment in decid-
ing upon the movements to be made.
The history of the Vermont Cavalry is
his biography for four years. After
his return from the war he went into
the wholesale drug business at Water
bury for while and then removed to
Burlington. He represented Water
bury in the Legislature in 1866 and
1867. He was Adjutant and Inspector
General from 1866 to 1872, when he
resigned to accept the appointment of
Collector of Customs at Burlington for
the state of Vermont. He held this
office until 1885. Since that time he
has been an active business man in
Burlington and has held many posi-
tions of trust. He represented Chit
tenden county in the State Senate in
1866. His whole life has been an hon
orable and active one, and he will be
greatly missed wherever he was known.
He was buried at Burlington on Tues.
day last, great crowd of friends and
citizens from all parts of the State be-
ing in attendance.

The customO of appointing day in each
year as Arbor Dayis growing in popular
favor. The benefits resulting from the plant
ing of shade trees and ornamental shrubs
are SO manifest that there is little doubt that
the day will soon be as generally observed
as our time-honored Thanksgiving.
The picturesque beauty of Vermont S
scenery is everywhere recognized, and that
beauty constitutes no considerable portion
of our material wealth; and were we infiu-
enced by no other than selfish motives a
day in spring-time devoted to lending ma
ture helping hand in the work of keeping
our hlllsides and valleys green and of beau
tifying our State, would be most prOfitably
spent But ahigher, purer sentiment, a pat
riotic desire to transmit to our Children i'm
proved by our efforts and occupancy, the
rich heritage which we enjoy, should
| therefore designate Friday, May 18th,
mend that the day be devoted to the plant-
ing of trees and shrubs in the public parks
along our roadwayS, and around our homes.
/ especially urge that the day be observed
by the schools throughout the State as a
holiday and that the teachers organize their
schools into bands of workers, that the best
results may be thereby secured!

SANTA Rosa, Cal, April 16.-Fol
nearly two years the people in the
neighborhood of Closes Springs, sum.
mer resort ten miles northeast of here,
have been excited over a wildcat that
has 'roamed the hills in the daytime and
stolen things at night 1t was a formi-
dable creature, and spread terror over
the whole neighborhOod.
The wildcat made its first appearance
a year ago last summer. Then it was
frequently seen in the daytime or early
evening, skulking about in the hills, but
afterward a sight of it was very rare.
To have seen the wildcat came to be the
most interesting and exciting. event that
could happen in months visit to the
Springs, and sure passport to distinc-
ton among the boarders.
But the animal made frequent visits
in the nighttime to the hotel and the
neighboring farmhouses. 1t caught
and carried off chickens and young tur-
keys, it stole provisions that were left
hanging up IN back porches and out
houses, it sometimes even ate its prey
on the spot and left feathers and tracks
to tell the tale. The ferocious creature.
it was generally believed, had even had
a fight with a sow over a young pig it
had tried to carry away. A big yellow
cat which belonged to the hotel disap-
peared, and everybody decided that poor
old Tom had had fight with the saw
age thing, had been killed and his body
dragged away.
The proprietor of the hotel had to p,
up iron bars across the windows on til .
ground floor, because the visitors we've
afraid to sleep with the windows open.
The fierce cry of the wild creature
could be heard sometimes late in the
evening from the brush on the hills
The summer visitors organized hunting
parties and tried to shoot the thing.
But when they went out thus equipped
they never could get even glimpse of
it. The farmer boys set out traps and
tried to catch it, but without success.
The few people who saw it last fall re-
ported that it had grown tremendously
and looked quite a monster.
But when the summer boarders from
the city begin to gather at the Springs
this year they will find that their terri
flying wildcat has become as gentle as a
sucking dove.
Some boys, sons of Mr.. Close, who
were out shooting last week, saw the
creature and shot it in the leg so that it
could not run away. When they ex-
amined it they found that it was old
Tom, the hotel cat.
At first he was wild and showed fight,
but after a time he seemed to enjoy
being stroked and petted as much as he
did before he made his escape from
His leg was bound up, and
he took possession of his box beside the
kitchen stove as calmly as if he had just
from nights rowing. His
temper is quicker and more vicious than
it used to be- but his freak of returning
to nature seems to have had no other eff
feet upon him. f. f. K.
