lie says we should forget our
wrongs and not throw frebrands,
say Mr.. Chairman, it is no use
to try to hide from the people that
which they have already seen, nor
try to make them forget that which
has been stamped upon their hearts
with burning insults and injuries.
Great battles have been won in de-
| Tending the encroachments of a
tyrant, and invincible conquerors
have been beaten back to aven0e
real and even fancicd wrongs, but
never have Waterloos been won or
tyrants dethrOned by smothering
the anger OF the outraged masses
and staying the avenging arm of
an injured people.
Mr.. Chairman, if we have thrown
fire. brands in these resolutions they
are burning with truth, and point
out the objects at which they are
directed. We commended the
good and condemned the bad, We
heartily indorse the action of our
national convention at St, Louis,
which itself Endorsed all that was
good in the Democratic ticket and
platform, and then rejected the
rest. 1t was, and is good only
where the Democratic masses broke
away from their crstwhiie leaders
and acted against the bitter and
furious protest of the men who
led the party away from its ancient
mooring and made it laughing
stock and the country bankrupt.
1t is these leaders we condemn, be-
cause they are yet leading in this
State and in the South, disgracing
it and us with ballot-box stufiing
and robbery
We have been fighting the Dem
ocratic party in this State, from
whence we and our people have
come, besause of alleged fraud and
corruption. We have taught our
people to hate that party, which
they and we once loved, and right
well have they learned the lesson.
VIII they not want a reason for
going back to it ! You tell them
it has reformed nationally; they
viii reply that charity begins at
home, likewise honesty.
We have charged, reiterated and
proven that the Democratic party
did, less than three months ago,
steal and rob us of our votes and
the Offices which were ours, and if
so, they are still in possession of
them and yet yol ask our people
to forget these crimes, condone
these wrongs, smother their feel
ings of righteous revenge
/ believe, Mr.. Chairman, that
my Democratic opponents will
agree with me that the rank and
file of the Peoples party are bet
ter read and better informed gene
rally than the same element in any
other party or faction, and that
they are honest and true, and yet
my friends here think we can fool
them into combination with their
worst political enemies without de-
nunciation or overthrow of cor
rupt political leaders, without any
concessions from men who have
robbed them of their all in poll

cussing the different methods of farm
ing i'm this Institute, the question is
constantly being asked, "Does it pay?'
And this is the final test to be applied
t. all methods, and so we may say in
regard to gardening, does it pay; and
we will each have to answer for our
selves. If we are like Jack, the boy we
heard about last evening, looking at the
dark side and seeing nothing but
drudgery, veXation and trouble, per-
haps it will not pay us. but if we are
like the other boy, and as every body
should be, looking at the bright side, it
will pay abundantly. DIR. John Hol-

one thousand dollars year to any
young man to be able to look at the

the beautiful and wonderful in nature.
say wonderful. We set out two
plants, side by side, give them the
same care, and they receive the same
sunshine and the same rain, grow in
the same soil, yet one produces red
berry and the other black one. Why
is this? We cannot tell. 1t pays in
watching the plants grow and develop
and bud, blossom, and bear fruit. 1t
pays in giving the children the pleas
ure of eating all the nice berries they
want. 1t pays in the help it gives the
good wife in preparing over one thous-
and meals a year for the household.
1t pays i'm the enjoyment we get out of
it. 1t pays in the opportunity it affords
us of giving our friends treat when
they come to see us; and it pays in the
increased good health and comfort it
gives the whole family.
That there are difficulties in the way
of success in the raising of large fruits
in this climate 1 do not deny, but
believe there are none but what intelli-
gent perseverance will overcome, and
we are making advancement on this
line all the time.
In putting out fruit here, the first
thsng to find out is, is it hardy, of good
quality, and a good bearer, ifit does not
fill the bill in these respects we do not
want it. There is the Duchess tree,
hardy, good bearer, and good quality.
If we have one good fall apple we may
have more. There is the McMahan
white tree, hardy, a good bearer, an
excellent apple, and keeps well into the
winter. If we have one good winter
apple we may have more. know that
we have had repeated failures on this
line, but that is no reason for giving up
i'm dispair. Let us show true grit by
meeting and overcoming these diff
culties.
I believe that the time is coming
when this country will produce all the
fruit that we can consume. and that
those that put out fruit nicely and
carefully selected, will be well paid
for it.

soldiers motto. Let it be ours.

0arret A, Hobart

The most prominent feature of the
nomination of Mr.. Garret A. Hobart for
vice president at st. Louis last evening
IS its proof Of the command which the
Mckinley delegates had over the con-
vention IN every respect except the pre-
else wording of the financial plank of
the platform. 1t was not disguised from
the time the delegates began to assem-
BILE that Mr.. Hobart was Mr. Hanna's
choice for the place. Had he not been
supported in this way his ambition
would never have been satisfied. 1t Is
not the habit of national conventions to
go for vice presidential timber to small
states whose electoral vote has been
habitually cast for the opposite party
FIe Is man of entire respectability and
good business man, yet there were
probably not dozen men in the conven-
tion, outside of the New Jersey delega-
ton, who knew anything about his
public or business career. In his own
state. the most that can be said for him
Is that as lawyer he has managed skill
fully the affairs of some embarrassed
corporations committed to his charge
and has made a fortune for himself
by his practice: that he has impressed
his party associates in the state with his
ability as campaign manager, although
under his direction Republican candi-
dates for governor have steadily been
beaten until the political situation of
affairs last year carried Mr.. Griggs into
the governors chair. When Mr.. Ho-
bart, as member of the Republican
national committee. arrived in st. Louis
last week, he joined his fortunes at once
with those of Mr.. NICK inley going even
so far as to vote in that committee to
seat some of the anti-Platt delegates
from this city. If the Platt men could
have defeated him with one of their New
Workers, they would have done so, but
they were prevented from carrying out
their plan in this regard by the position
taken by Governor Morton as to the
second place on the ticket. and by the
general disinclination of the delegates
to take any man from state like New
York, where the cliques in the party
were so bitter toward one another. The
New Jersey platform spoke out fairly
for gold, and Mr.. Hobart has not at
tempted to dodge that issue. In that
light, therefore he may be considered
as leaven to the ticket.-New York Post.
