matter, the upper house of the Prussian

agreement as to internationI bimetalllSIn.
During the debate. the governor of the
reichstag warmly opposed the motion and
informed the federal government that
they would thereby create disaster and
disturbances.

to adopt Herr Becker's amendment, which

Denver, May 17.-Hon. Henry Cald-
well, junior United States circuit
judge for the Eighth judicial dis
trict, first made district judge by
President Grant and promoted to the
circuit judgeship by President Harri-
son, wrote "a letter under date of St.
Louis. April so. to an old army friend
now in Denver in which, among other
subjects, he speaks freely and frankly
upon the silver question. The letter
was written without any supposition
that any part Of it would be given to
the public, but the friend to whom it
was written, who is an ardent silver
man, assumes the privilege. for the
sake of the good cause, to make pub
lie part Of what the judge writes
about silver. Judge Caldwelrs utter
ances are bold. clear and unequivocal.
The following is from the letter:
1.-THE country is about entering up
on another struggle for the protection
of the rights and the promotion Of
the interests of the laborer and pro-
Queer. which is, in my judgment, OF
even more moment than the first. I
have been surprised that the issue has
been so long delayed. The fight ought
to have been forced years ago on the
line of absolute and unqualified free
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1, without regard to the ac-
ton of England or any other foreign
power.
If we are to be subservienI to Eng
land in our financial policy, why not
in other matters? The financial poll
icy of nation determines its strength
and prosperity, and the nation which
consents that another and competing
nation may regulate its financial pol
icy viii find its producers impoverish-
ed and its industries destroyed, and
the nation itself will soon be little
more than a mere dependency of the
power to which it surrendered the
most vital function of government.
IF we are not capable and able to
establish and maintain our own finan-
cial policy, we ought to haul down
Old Glory which you fought so gal
lantly to uphold. and turn the gov
eminent over to Queen Victoria or
ask Canada to annex US.
1.-THE president has thrown down
the gauge of battle. trust the silver
men in all parties and everywhere
will take it up. am happy in the
ANYTHING or nothing on the silver
question will in future go for moth
ing with the members of all parties.
The people have been deluded and de-
ceived until their eyes are open. There
has sprung up among them that hos
tility to such platforms which the
empty and peFfdious hypocrisy of set
praises never fails in the end to in
spire.'

TOO MUCH CIVILIZATION,

Guthrie, O. T., May ia scandal
has come to light in connection with
the government school for Usage In
dams at Pawhuska. Great laxity of
discipline in the dormitories for the
boys and girls is alleged, and the In
dams are very indignant, declaring
that their children are demoralized by
the whites, no such bad morals being
known among Usage girls living in
wigwams. This week $50 of the 255
children in the school have been
taken out by their parents.

GOOD TIME AMONG TIE FARMERS
JOSHUA SPRIGGS.

You ask your cores ondents and
subscribers to look into the matter of
the selling price of improved farm
land. Well, there is a noticeable i'm
provement and the outlook for farm
ers is better than it was two years
ago all through southeastern Wiscon-
sin. Farmers who were willing TO sell
at that time would not sell now fox
the same price they were asking then.
They see plainly that their only hope
is to stick to the farm, for they are
sure of a living. Half of this talk
about hard times is all bosh. There
are always some people who are dis
satisfied. 1t is true they have suffer-
ed where the crops have failed, ana it
is true that the prices for farm pro-
ducts are low, but most of the neceS-
Saries of life we have to purchase are
very cheap. II we take a glance back
TO the early days, we viii soon see
that we are not in such a deplorable
condition after all. We have been liy-
ing too fast; that is one cause of the
hard times. We can make a living.
and with economy we can save sons
money. I know farmers who started
with nothing thirty years ago, and
who today are what the world calls
well-to-do. They have added TO their
original farms. and have money in
vested in city property. I know 9TH
ers who started at the same time, and
with the same bright prospects, who
have not succeeded. and their farms
are heavily mortgaged; they have
lived too fast.
There are no vacant farms around
here; all are rented or are being work
ed on shares. L see no suffering among
the people and have seen none in Ra-
cine county. They seem to spend jus.
as much money as they did before the
panic. Farm improvements are going
on steadily. new buildings are going
UP, land is being titled, the old rail
and board fences are fast disappearing
and are being replaced with woven
wire fences. There are many people
in the towns and cities who would like
to move into the country, but they
have not got the means, as land is too
expensive Some of these people are
going south, where land is cheap and
the climate more Salubrious. They
have no employment, and the future
looks dark for them and their child
rem. Labor-saving machinery has said
TO them, Get out, we have no further
use for you. Everything seems to be
going against the laboring class in the
overcrowded cities. There must come
change. l believe the time is no.
far distant when the surplus popula-
ton in cities will be located on small
farms in the country, where they will
be reasonably sure of living.

Has PAD THE MONEY.

London, May le.-In compliance with
abe agreement under which the British
men of war were withdrawn from Mica
fagua, on condition that the smart
money amounting to s7550O demanded by
Great Britain for the expulsion of Con-
sui Hatch, be paid in London within If
teen days, that amount Of money was
today converted into the treasury of
Great Britain on behalf of Nicaragii bv

Nicaragua in London throughout the
episode thus closed.

RETrER PRODUCTS.

One way to secure better prices for
what you have to sell is to increase the
value. Now is the time with many farm
products to be considering this. The
cultivation of many crops is an impor-
tant factor in determining the quality,
and to secure the best results it is very
essential to cultivate early and thor
oughly With a number of crops it is
quite an item to thin out properly as
generally better corn, cane or potatoes
can be grown than as if the plants are
allowed to stand too thick. With fruits,
proper thinning in good season is an i'm
portant item in securing the best quality.
Nearly all thrifty, vigorous trees will
set more fruit than they can mature to
the best advantage, and if all is allowed
to remain there will be more or less
fruit of a POOR quality. BY thinning and
giving each specimen room to grow, not
only will a better quality of fruit be Sc
cured, but it will sell at a sufficiently
higher price to pay we'll for the trouble.
With all lines of farm production the
best not only sells the readieSt, but at
the highest price and returns the best
profit. What is true with products ap-
plies equally well with stock. Vita
some classes of stock the profits at best
are Very small, and with a poor class of
stock they are often fed and put on the
market at a positive loss if anything
like a fair price is counted for the feed
and labor. Now is a good time to con-
slider whether it is advisable to continue
breeding in the same line or make such
changes as are necessary to improve. In
many cases the use of a better sire with
a careful selection of the dams will make
a decided improvement, and this can Of
ten be done at a low cost. To d very
considerable extent the difference in the
selling price means a difference in the
profit.
Last fall sheep here were very cheap;
so cheap that having the feed and the
runs 1 bought a few. They were aver
age scrub sheep. They ran with my
grade Shropshires, had the same pastur-
age in the fall, the same feed and shell
ter during the winter. They were all
sheared this spring, the fieeces were
marketed separate, and there was an
average difference of three and Il halt
pounds of wool in the fleeces, and I got
cents per pound more for the better
wool. making II cents difference in each
fleece. There was of course a little diff
ference in the worth of the sheep. but
the difference in the interest on the cost
would not more than equal 2 cents, bu
when sheep are cheap and wool low Z
difference of u cents per head makes
ONE difference in the percent of profit
secured over the money invested. But
even at the low price of wool 1 more
than got what paid for the sheep In
wool and have still got the sheep and
the lambs to pay for the winters feed
'ng. The point is that the better sheep
grow a better quality of wool at no
greater cost for feed and care and only
or the small increased amount of capt.
Al invested give a much better profit

Amt Sis :aen Capital I WIN Be Heavily
LIN ere sted.


Minneapolis, Mimi, Ma& 16.-It is
said that President Crespo, of Tene-
zuela, has evolved a scheme for the
in which American capital is to be
heavily interested and to which is to
be entrusted the collection of taxes
and duties. Donald Grant, the Fari-
bault mine contractor. told the story
to a Journal man before his recent
departure for Caracas, unoer injunc-
ton OF secrecy, which is now removed
by hint of the matter in yesterday S
Washington dispatches. The bank is
to have a paid-up capital of 100000,
half of which is to be furnished by
the Vsnezuelans and the rest by Min
nesota men and their eastern hackers
in New York. The bank will have a
complete monopoly Of the collection
Of the taxes and duties for the entire
country. In return, it will have a
contract under which it will be i'm
possible for the government to draw
out the sums paid in duties and in
taxes except in small portions and
after notice, the effect of which will
be to keep the money IN the bank for
al least a year. 1t will have certain
rights in the matter of state money,
and other concessions will be granted.
Among these will be control of gov
eminent bond issues, something which
the English have heretofore taken
charge cf. hi
The Venezuelan congress will ad-
journ on June Is, and the charter for
the bank Will be granted before that
time 1t is expected that the bank
will be running in a very short time,
and that it will enter upon the col
lection of duties at the earliest pos
sible date. This has been made nee
essary by the action of Great Britain
in levying on the revenues of Near
aqua The officials of Venezuela de-
sire to be protected from any similar
move in so far as the bank, with an
American interest, can protect them
President Crespo and his advisers
were very anxious for Americans to
take hold of the institution, and they
wanted, above all, that the British
should have no interest in the affair.

Reasons to Believe They Have EIeen
Kidnapped.
Chicago. May 1s.-Three children
ranging in age from to y years
mysteriously disappeared in the sub
urb of Hyde Park today. It is sup
posed they were kidnapped, though
the police have no evidence that such
was the case and only inferred that it
was so from the fact that Reginald
Scott, the 6-year-old boy who was
kidnapped Wednesday night by an I'M
known man, was returned home yes
terday morning. From the description
given by him of his abductor the po-
lice think that he was a man named
Henry Manning, who was arrested for
kidnapping in South Chicago recently
and sent to the detention hospital for
Abe insane, but released.
