sibIey's Presidential Boom.

Los ANGELES, CAL, May 16.-The San
Francisco press dispatch stating that
owing to the efforts of Gen. Warner to
boom Jos. c. Sibley for the presidency,
the visit OF the former to California has
not produced the expected results, and
that one of the effects of it had been the
fiat secession of the State silver league,
was shown to Col. Barry, secretary of
the Los Angeles League of American
Bi'metallists, who said: The fact is,
all there Is of the socalled State league
is the soschlled executive committee
and all there is of the commi. tee so far
as It's active members are concerned is
quartette OF ex-Populists who were
members of the local free silver move
ment started here last winter who re-
fused to join the Republicans associated
In that movement in denouncing the
national movement of Gen. Warner in
the executive committee. The names
of this quartette are Enoch Pepper,
Alva Udell, II. q. Savage and John
Robson. Their refusal to indorse War
ner and Sibley does not necessarily
commit the State silver league and has
no significance.

II Not, Why Not.

A physician points out that several
fallacies are common with regard to
the weight of the human body. The
man who congratulates himself on
his gain of several pounds in weight
over a given period may have no
cause for rejoicing, for he may be
under delusion. Very few persons,
says this investigator, have any cor
rect idea OF their own weight. AS .
matter OF fact the weight of the body
is continually changing, owing to in
Vulnerable influences. On a warm
day after breakfast a man will lose
third of pound per hour.
Seventy per cent of the body consists
OF water, and its weight varies con-
stantly. The inference to be drawn
from the loss or gain of a pound or
two may be mistrusted. Fluctuations
of a few onces are sign that the
body is in healthy state.

instead of agitating and organizing
Do you think they would have made
any headway by voting and fighting for
men who believed in kingship? Not
much. 1t took lots of agitation to
arouse the sluggards among them, but
it did not take a tenth as much blood
shed by British hirelings as has al
ready been shed by monopoly hirelings
in the United States of Monopoly. So
long as men will vote for parties that
protect monopolies by law, so long will
the distress and horrors now prevail

In recent report to Gov. Mckinley
declare that the average wages of these
coal miners is 27 cents a day!
Mind You, this does not come from
calamity-howling Populists, but from
representatives sent out by the cham
bers of commerce in the leading cities
of Ohio. 1t is not likely that this COM
mission has reported the condition of
the miners any worse than really ex-
lists and, therefore must conclude that
the report is true.
Think of il, Twenty-seven cents a
day! The magnificent sum of S1.62 a
week! A princely income of sS4.24 a
year. Support family on this, Think

an income of such magnitude!
Seriously, friends, what do you think
Of this? Is it not astounding to think
of such conditions being imposed upon
workingmen in free America? We
say imposed, for it is the avarice and
greed of the coal operators that force
these men to work for worse than star
vation wages.
If this was an isolated case some
excuse might be found for it, but labor
all over this country is gradually be-
ing pressed to that point The cupid
ity of the capitalistic classes on the
one hand and the stupidity of the
masses on the other are making such
conditions possible
Oh,why will not laboring men arouse
from their lethargy and shake off this
incubus OF capitalism? Why be slaves
when they can so easily be freemen?
Why do millions drink the bitter dregs
of poverty, misery, sorrow, ard woe
when they only to be men-braye.
courageous men-to throw it all off?
Such conditions are the results of
wrong voting and in no other way can
they be removed except by right vot-
ing. So long as laboring men vote for
candidates and measures suggested by
capitalists so long will labor be in the
tolls, as now.
We have been voted into these anom-
alous conditions and the ballot is the
only peaceful remedy to lead the peo-
pie out.

A BLACKMAILING SCHEME.
what Great Democratic Paper Say
of the Bond SvjndIe

What Great Democratic Paper Say
of the Bond swindIe.
We presume that the cuckoos who
against their own convictions, may feel
themselves compelled to defend Mr.
Cleveland's gold bond scheme. will
claim that if the scheme had been in
dorsed by congress, it would have re-
suited in a saving to the people OF
$l6.OOO,OOO during the next thirty years
The answer to this is that the whole
scheme. in its intention and concep-
tion, was in the nature of a blackmail-
ing operation in the interest of the ele-
ment that is growing rich out of the
increased purchasing power that the
single gold standard is comforting on
the money they are boarding. The
representatives of the people refused to
permit their constituents to be black
mailed, and that is the end of the mat
ter so far as this congress is concerned.
The alternative proposed to congress
by Mr.. Cleveland may be very simply
stated. In effect he said: You gentle
men seem to be opposed to the single
gold standard. Very well. If you don't
accept it for at least thirty years, |
propose to levy an additional tax of
$16,000,000 on the people that they
would not have to pay if you would ac-
cept gold monometallism for thirty
years."
That was the ultimatum, and IL con-
gress had accepted it, that body would
have gone down to history as the most
Infamous assembly of representatives
that ever pretended to represent the
people
To save SIG, ,0O0, 900 in the course of
thirty years. the peoples representa-
tives were asked to indorse a scheme
that would have tied the country to
gold monometallism. The country has
already lost untold billions by the op-
erations Of this system, and while $16,-
100000 might have been saved by ac-
cepting the blackmailing conditions
proposed to congress, the people would
have lost billions In the further shrink
age of values and prices and in the
general depression of business occa-
stoned by making gold the only unit Of
account and measure OF value.
The Constitution regrets that there
was even one Georgia congressman
ready to indorse this scandalous propo-
sition, and. at the same time, thanks
heaven that there was only one. With
the sole exception Of Mr.. Turner the
representatives Of the people of Georgia
in congress. stood by the interests of
their constituents and by the prin-
ciples of their party. This fact shows
that all tie efforts that have been made
to induce GeOrgias representatives to
indorse the financial views of John
Sherman and the republicans. have
been futile.-Atlants Constitution.

The moons light has been fouLd to

STORAGE OF SOIL MOISTURE

| STORAGE OF SOIL MOISTURE
Prof. Ii. r. Hilton, of Topeka, re-
Gently delivered an address before
the Franklin County Farmers Insti-
tute upon the Storage of Soil Mois-
ture" in which he made the following
suggestions;
First-Undjsturbed soil in its nat
ural state cracks and assures as it
dries out, admitting warm air from
the surface, and this increases evapor-
alton.
Second-Soil stirred by implements
is more receptive and retentive of
moisture than soil in its natural con-
dition. Tho temperature is also
lower.
Third--Heavy rains cause soil grains
to settle more closely together and in
crease the capillarity. Ifthe surface
is left undistributed evaporation is
very rapid IN hot days.
Fourth-Cultivation after showers
admits the air freely and dries out
the soil to the depth stirred, thus de-
stroying surface tension, which pre-
vents moisture from reaching the sur.
face, saving a larger proportion for
the use of the roots.
Ffth-Deep plowlng means deep
storage Of rainfall, deeper roofing OF
plants and less risk Of waste by sur
face evaporation.
Sixth-A dry soil mulch two or
three inches thick means more evap.
Grafton through the growing plant
and less from the ground surface.
Seventh-A soil SUBSIDIZED Is a soil
drained; not only is the water stored
deeper, but the surface soil can be
worked eafller and waste stopped
sooner after rains
Eighth-Commence this year SOW
log moisture for the next years crop
stop all leaks promptly.
Ninth-As far as possible do all thu
subsoiling or deep plowing for any
J crop the season before and cultivate
before planting and while growing.
Tenth-Don't plant any more corr
) than you have teams to handl
promptly aitSF every good shove
that compacts the sarfsOs, and if !
don't rain keep the plows going Jus
= the same.
. Eleventh-Don't lay the corn b,
/; till the crop is made. Corn uses hal
4 the moisture it needs after tasselin
r if it can get it.
/. Twelfth Pillow deep to make
