Ringing Truths.

Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, is
rapidly coming to the front as a noble
worker for the country's good. In a
three hours speech in the house, 10th,
he scored the Mckinley policy of the
republican party in language plain and
to the point. On the free wool billhe
said:
There had been time in the history
of Nebraska when it's people had one
sheep per capita, the mutton age, so to
speak. But, alas, that day has passed.
Now if every Mary in the state wanted
poor lamb she would have to 20 out
of the state to get enough lambs to go
round. After reviewing the binding
twIne and cotton ties bill Mr.. Bryan
said, in conclusions:
The country has nothing to fear
from the democracy upon the tariff
question. 1t means more equal dis
tribution of the great advantages of
this country. It means that the men
who produce the wealth shall retain
a larger share of it. It means that en-
terprise shall be employed in natural
and profitable industries, not in un-
natural and unstaple industries. 1t
means more constant employment for
labor and better pay; it means the
maximum of product from the min
imum of toll. 1t means commerce with
other countries. It means prosperity
everywhere and not by piecmeal. 1t
is for this reason that the young men
of the country are coming to the DEM
ocratic party. as Mr.. Clarkson, that
high republican authority, declared.
It is because we are right and right
| will triumph. The day will come and
that soon, l trust, when wiser economic
policies will prevail than those to which
the republican party is welded, when
the laws of this country will be made
for all and not for few: when those
who congregate annually about this
capitol, seeking to use the taxing power
for purposes of private greed will have
lost their occupations; when the burdens
of government will be equally distrib-
uted and its blessings likewise. Hail
the day! When it comes, to use the
language of another, Democracy will
be king. Long live the king!' Loud
applause.]
1.-The advocates of the Mckinley bill
had thought that the people were bound
| hand and foot. Where were the con-
spirators today? Where were the men
who were largely instrumental in fixing
that iniquitous legislation on the
people?"
A voice: "Who is governor of Ohio?''
Mr.. Bryan: 81 believe that one did
succeed in being elected governor in a
republican state by a minority vote.
I[Laughter.l To such extremes has this
great Cesar come that it now welcomes
the holding of a republican state more
than before it greeted the conquest OF
an empire" CApplause ond laugh ter!

Startling Facts Regarding European Ar-
mies-ETsces of Rigid Discipline.
!. Dr. Longer. who was appointed at the
late international medical convention
OF London to report about the number
OF suicides among soldiers of various
natioualities, published the results of
his Investigations From the doctors
report. based upon the military statis-'
ties from 1878 to 1887, it appears that the
largest number of suicides occurred in
the Austrian army. averaging every
year 100 to every 10000 soldiers This
does not include forty cases of foiled at
tempts at suicide, and it>represents 20
per cent of the general mortality
among the Austrian soldiers.
Next to Austria is Germany, which
from 1878 to 1855 averaged sixty-three
to every 10000 soldiers, not counting
ten cases of unsuccessful attempts al
'seH-destruction-s In the Italian army
from 1874 to 1889, on the average, forty
soldiers in every 10000 committed sui
eide every year. The French army
from 1S72 to 1889 lost in Europe tive 1ty-i
nine soldiers to every 10000 anur: ily,
and in Algeria it lost just twice as reny
by suicide. In Belgium there occurred
twenty-four, in England twenty-tlsee,
in Russia twenty, and in Spain four.
teen.soldiers to every 10000 committed
suicide
In previous years in England the
greatest number Of suicides occurred
among old soldiers, but since the condi-
tions of the. service were changed the
nunber of young suicides increased in
the army In France, Italy, Germany
and Austria most of the suicides are
young soldiers: in Austria especially
mostly recruits commit suicide in the
in the first few months of their joining
the army.
Soldiers serving term OF .i,nprison-
ment seldom. commit self-destruction,
but they commit it mostly when other
disciplinary measures are applied to
them.
The perferred means of suicide is,
among the foot soldiers. the use of fire.
arms, while cavalrymen in most cases
use the moose or cut their throats. The
suicides using firearms for their pur-
pose generally shoot themselves in the
head. The native Algerians form an
exception to this rule. because disiigur-
| ing the head is considered a great sin
among the Arabs. They direct the ball
to the heart. In the summer season
suicide by drowning occurs very often
among the soldiers.
The cause of suicide in the army is,
in most cases, fear of punishment, but
in the Austrian and Russian armies
aversion to the military service or rSl6e
treatment provokes many soldiers to
Self-deStruction.

Potatoes-How to Insure a Crop.

[The following was handed us by A.
who sells him seed potatoes every
spring. 1t may be Of interest to our
farmers.-ED.1
Select FIRST new grcdnd if convenient,
if not then stubbie, which should be as
free from weed seed as possible. Plow
early and thoroughly, then harrow till
perfectly level and fine, if necessary
three or four times. Cut the seed a
few days before planting; care should
be taken that the cut seed does not
heat. 1t is best to put the seed in a
warm place for few days, spread out
so as not to heat. This gives the buds
a chance to start and dries tup the cut
side so that it is not so liable to rot if
the ground is wet. 1t is very neces-
sary to insure a good crop that the
plowing be done when the ground is
not too wet. After the ground and
seed is all prepared, mark with small
plow, if soil is moist enough, about
four inches deep, if dry deeper; cover
with a cultlvator, so as to leave the
field as level as you can. Examine the
seed and when sprouted so that they
will show in a day or two, take slant
tooth harrow and go over the field
thoroughly; this kills all the young
weeds, and if crust has formed allows
the plants to come up early. AS soon
as the rows can be seen cultivate deeply
with an ordinary corn cultivator and
regularly every week till they are about
ready to set, when the ground should
never be disturbed.
After the first cultivation, care should
be taken not to stir the ground except
at the surface, as deep cultivation dis
turbs the roots and retards the growth.
l cut the seed to one or two eyes and
plant in drills thirteen inches apart
one piece in place. The rows are
best three feet ter inches to four feet
apart. The main reason so many men
fail to raise potatoes is because they
plant the seed in some patch that moth
ing else will grow on, look at the place
once or twice season and in the fall
say ''they cannot raise potatoes il
Kansas
If the 'sEarly Summer are planted
as soon as the ground is in condition in
the spring and these directions are
followed carefully, there is no reason
why everyone who plants should not
dig coed crop. I have raised them
large enough to use by June Sth. They
grow larger, root deeper, are more pro-
liEc, freer from dark spots and do not
scab as badly as the "Ohios."
First year I raised 80 bHshels from
one barrel of seed. Second year from
seven acres sold 500 worth and saved
enough seed to plant nine acres last
year. / never failed to make good
crop. Think my method the only
proper one in this state and can insure
the man that tries it good crop.

vote the resubmission fusion ticket
voted the alliance ticket. Then too.
we would ask: How many of the re-

many sides of the fusion question to
