SILVER REPUBLICANS
HAVE OUTLINED A NATIONAL
PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR.
They Propose to Bolt Unless They Get a
Silver Candidate for President-POli-
tiCians Are Frightened,

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Western silver
republicans have outlined an interesting
program to be pursued in the next ma
tional republican convention. To day
Western republican Of national promi-
nence who arrived in Washington two
days ego disclosed Che progrsm Of the
silver men In all it's details, and it 10 so
audauious as to stsrtle the political
managers here. The plan, he says, was
agreed upon ct q conference OF western
senator's held last month. The senators
and other Western republican leaders,
who participated in the compact, repre-
sent ten Western silver states and pro-
Feas to be able to control the delegations
to the next national republican oonVen-
tlon from those states.
These states are Montana, Idaho, Wy.
oming, Washington, Oregon, Colorado,
Nevada, Utah, CalifcrniA and South DR-
kota. These ten states are claimed
solidlY for the agreement, and the states
of North Dakota and Nebraska may yet
Join in the movement. It is the purpose
Of the Western silver republicans to
meet and choose delegates to the ma
tlonal republican convention in the reg
ular form, and when the convention
meets, to present the name Of Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, for president.
II Cameron is not acceptable to the
republicans, the convention will bt

sentative free silver republican. II II

delegates from these ten Western states
say they will march out Of the conven.

Cotton sim King.

The chief value Of corn is a. an ami
NAL food crop. and not as a crop. The
farmers money in corn is export in
putting the product into fat hogs and
big mules. Il is possible to make
every bushel bring double the market
price Of corn by utilizing IL otherwise
than az a primary money crop. Par
ticularly IL this true in the south,
where We need the bacon, and At the
same time have an export crop in cot
ton. It will be a great overnight on
the part Of the Texas farmer this year
il he does pot raise his own hogs and
mules. The huge corn crop furnishes
a cheap and ready basis
But in the meantime cotton is still
king in the south II is worth $3.50,
600, 900 TO the section, as against a
possible 800, O00,OOO from the corn
crop. Other sections may crown a
new agricultural monarch, but the old
dynasty will continue to reign in the
south. If the great staple is in super
abundance the very volume brings i'm
mense returns; if the crop is short the
increased price secures similar re-
suits. Corn is a good thing to have
and it is gratifying TO see the south
ern farmer increasing its acreage. Il
he will continue TO add to his owl
food crops as a possible and pleasant
diyersifcation, his cotton will be Sc
much clear money and make him ricl

A Trip to the Moon.

A voyage 10 the moon is the latest
project which is seriously put forward
as the browning point Of the Paris ex-
hibition Of 1900. NJ. Mantois, ITS au-
thor, docs not propose to carry pas
sengers to the lunar regions In an
mrial car, but he expects to bring
down the moon TO the reach Of the
people whose vision extends, say, six
miles from the earth. The plan Is to
construct telescope nearly 200 feet
in length. The objective glass will
have diameter Of something over
four feet three inches, the largest in
the world. The colossal tube will be
placed horizontally, and the image OF
the moon will be reflected by what ID
termed a mirror plane, ak feet in
diameter and fifteen inches thick.

He Was Absent-Minded.

An absent-minded young preacher
in New England, wishing to address
the young ladies of his congregation
after the morning services, remarked
from the pulpit that he would be very
glad if the female brethren of the con-
gregation would remain after they had
gone home. He was almost as badly
mixed, the narrator of this says, as
another preacher, who, after describ-
ing q pathetic scene he had witnessed,
added, huskily:

TIE USE OF MINERAL on.

Tins in the kitchen feel the magic
of mineral oil, and where long scour-
ing was necessary to keep them bright
and shining in the past, to-day the
up-to-date cook dips her flannel cloth
In kerosene, then into powdered lime,
or common whiting, and with these
scours her tins into a likeness OF the
kerosene cleaned mirrors, and all with
Aonly half the labor. OF course, they
want thorough rinsing in hot suds
afterward to free them of all odor, but
the real toll of securing is what she
breads and not the quick and easy
rinsing.
II she has an oil-cloth on her floor,
she adds q gill of kerosene to her

pail, passes it quickly over the painted
surface, dries it with a flannel cloth,
Nand with this slight effort leaves 1t
bright and polished almost as new,
and an oil-cloth treated in this man
ner will outlast one scrubbed up in
the old way twice over. Many a
housekeeper's heart has gone nigh to
breaking in despair over painted floors
and balconies which showed every
footmark, and were only made dingy
and dismal by all efforts to wash them
out. A flannel cloth wrung cut in
cold water and we'll sprinkled with
kerosene makes painted floor almost
as easy to keep as one of the costly
hardwoods, and the odor of the
cleansing will pass completely away in
half an hour. On balconies, indeed,
or where the windows of the room are
left open during the process, the smell
evaporates SO quickly as not to be
noticed at all. Baltimore American.

is being taken out where it formerly

force about ten days or two weeks to
