ing Called for Yesterday in Topeka.
The Ion-partisan free silver organiza-
ton which was started in Topeka two
years ago, is dead
There Is not enough. life left in it to
hold an executive committee meeting, as
was evinced yesterday afternoon when
but four members of the committee came
10 Topeka in response to widely ad-

evening conference.
Col. w. P Tomlinson wanted the
meeting to appoint committee TO con-
fer with the Populist state central com
mittee today about the nomination of
candidate for chief Justice against Judge
David Martin. When he became con
WINGED that the conference committee
would not be appointed Col. Tomllnson
said: Judge David seems to have
things his own way. the corporations
are all for him. The corporation law
yers are for him. The Republican
txers are for him. The sDemocratic fix
ers are for him, and l have come
to the conclusion that the Populist
fxers are also for him" It dawned on
the colonel that every body was for him;
Piutocrats, anarchists, rebs and all the
rest.
A. c. Shinn of Ottawa, who was pres
ent, said: "rhis silver organization has
had a hard row to hoe all summer. AS
soon as we organized this silver league
they commenced organizing silver clubs
within the republican party, and they
have been pulling from Us in every di-
rection. really have a feeling OF DIS
i gust"
R. A. Sankey of Wichita, said 81 am a
| Populist, but joined this silver orgAu.-
cation that l might fight the battle for
silver as an American citizen outside Of
! party lines"
! John w. Breidenthal. who was present
! at the evening meeting, said: ''We Pep
/ ulists belong TO the only political party
which recognizes silver. We are stand

platform, and AS Populists we are will
ing and anxious 10 encourage any organ

while still fresh. This makes a great
difference. Sweet corn, allowed to

depreciates, and people are not salts.
fed with these tough, tasteless kerr
nels. An acre Of sweet corn, selling at
ten to twelve cents per dozen ears,
should give receipts Of seventy-ave to
one hundred dollars, and large quan.
tity Of stalks besides. The stalks are
big item Of themselves. For horses,
cattle and sheep they are as good as an
equal weight Of timothy hay, il some
care is used to cure them quickly and
store after the manner followed with
the hay crop.
The squashes bring good price,
especially II facilities exist SO they may
be kept until well into the winter or
until early spring. We have found
good, snug cellar, where there IS fur

KEEPING ACCOUNTS.
Good System Of Recording Farm Sales
and Expenditures

ooo" rybtem OF hecOruing tSt" '~sW
and Expenditures
A Country Gentleman correspondent
writes: The system that ] have
adopted for the purpose Of keeping On
account Of the sales and expenditures
OF the farm Is not only simple and
easily kept, but the different accounts
may be readily balanced up at the
close Of each month, or US often as de-
sired. / use an ordinary daybook, and
divide 1t in the six following accounts
Sales, general expenses, live stock,
feed, labor and mechanics. In the
sales account is entered the produce
sold-fruit, potatoes, grain, hay and
rye straw, always stating the quantity
and the price per barrel, bushel or ton,
as the case may be. In general ex-
penses come all family and private ex-
penses-taxes, money expended in the
repairing Of buildings, for new machin-
cry, wagons, horses, in fact any
thing in the way Of equipping the
place. The groceries Of course
come in this list, but as the sugar
and oil are bought by the bar
rel, tea BY the chest, soap by the box,
and everything, as far as Is convenient,
in large quantities, the open account
with the grocer Is avoided, and the en-
tries in this direction are also con-
densed very much in number. In the
livestock account are entered what
ever cattle, sheep, hogs or poultry are
bought Or sold. Everything in the
way Of feed bought is charged to this
account. In the labor account is en-
tered, at the expiration of the laborers'
term, the time employed and the
wages received. Their time and the
cash that they draw are kept in
memorandum book for that purpose.
In the mechanics account are kept the
horseshoeing, blacksmithing and har-
ness repairing expenses.
At the end Of the year you have sim
ply to foot up your accounts and make
out your trial balance, and you have
pretty correct showing Of your princi.
pal sources of income and expense.

greater than this, notably in the city
Of Washington, whore the loss Is ex'
pected to reach rs per cent.
Comparatively little was expected on
state, county and municipal bonds, but
the total loss. 1t Is thought, will fall
short Of sl5,0o0,0OO or $50, 900, 900 for the
first year and this loss Is expected to
Increase rather than diminish In sue
ceeding years, should the law remain
unrepealed. The loss Of this revenue,
however, is not the only cause Of regret
among the officials The fact that
the court was evenly divided on the
main constitutional question, 1t Is ex-
pected, will result In almost endless
litigation, thus very materially adding
to the expense Of collecting the tax.
Persons who have already made their
returns and paid the tax will be I'D
vised Of the change In the regulations,
and as soon as possible the proportion
ate amounts Of tax paid by each on
rents and bonds will be refunded to
them.
Attorney-General 0lney was much
surprised at that part of the decision
which exempts rents under the income
tax. As TO the section Of the act re-
lating to bonds, the Encouragement
rather expected an adverse decision,
but he regards the action OF the court
on the rent proposition as having been
taken on tcchnicalltes, which he be-
lieves will not stand the test Of time,
and cannot remain the permanent law
81 the land, On all other points the
government, he believes has no Sc
rious cause for complaint.

TWO PENSION DECISIONS.


WASHINGTON, April 0-Assistant Sec
rotary Reynolds Of the interior de-
partment has recently rendered several
pension decisions Of more or less in
terest In sustaining the decisions Of
the commissioner Of pensions In the
ease Of Hannah Chapman, widow
of Samuel Chapman, who claimed
enlistment in the sixtleth Indiana
volunteers, lie holds that the question
whether a man is enlisted rests with
the war department, and where the
war department shows that soldier
was not enlisted it Is final; also that
IN offer of enlistment by soldier
must be completed by its acceptance
by the government
In the case Of Susan LandraT' widow
Of John landrafl, Of Illinois, the sec
rotary aiilrms the decision Of the COM
missioner rejecting her claim for u
pension under the act Of 1890, on the
ground that she had an income con-
siderably in excess OF the pensions

Fall pasturinr Winter Grain,

Some Of our western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect Of fall
pasturlng winter wheat, says the Amer
lean Cultivator We have seen wheat
that made too heavy Il growth In the
fall which was materially benefited
by pasturing with sheep while the
ground was dry and before the frost
had injured the feed. Sheep are better
for this than any other stock. They
are light in proportion to the size Of
their feed, and their tramping over
light, porous soil makes 1t compact,
Then, what they eat off in fall Is only
what would be constant drain on tho
root whenever the weather Is mild.
The wheat grower wants a largo
growth in the fall mainly to get q
vigorous root. II the top growth Is
cut or eaten off the root Is none the
worse for the fact.
