A Change Ia Needed.

1t is true that in the mountebank
campaign initiated by the democratic
party in it's selection of candidates and
its platform declarations the dangers
of reputation, revolution. lawlessness
and anarchy did divert the public mind
in some measure from the tariff issue
which the collapse of the Cleveland adj
ministration, the failure of a demo
cratic congress and the consequent con-
dition of the national treasury had kept
predominant up to that moment. None
the less the fact remained that Maj.
McKinley's nomination had been
brought about chiefly because of the
connection of his name with tariff
measure and the issue Of protection.
And now that the election is over and
a republican administration and con-
Eress are secured, that question is still
open. 1t must be. The treasury condi-
tions which have given so much I'M
easiness and caused such wide financial
disturbance and business distress i'm
peratively demand change in the rev.
enue laws. And that change must nee
essarily be In accordance with repub-
lican principles and ideas.-N. Y.

states north of Mason and D:xon's line
are in the group. Had the issue been
left TO the west Mckinley would have

Bryan is not credited with single cleo

DThe silver mine owners and their
representatives have been guilty of an

many years past they have been trying
to coerce the government into the free

would enrich the mine owners and i'm
poverish the people. Their plan of CO.

to embarrass, paralyze, starve and bank

DThe rule-or-ruin silver men are al

wish to make their cause even more
unpopular than 1t is now, they can do
1t very well in this way. Nor will any
sensible man support such revolution
nry programme. There is not the slight
est possibility that any free coinage law
could be passed, even under such pro-
ceeding; and the government would not
be hampercd, as the appropriations of
the last session cover the fiscal year up
TO June 30 next and President McKin-

Prairie Pimples.

Southwestern Louisiana is bordereu
along the coast with broad sandy ana
gravelly plains to which the name Oh
"pimply prairies" has been given. inns

mounds, arranged in zones and along
intersecting lines, with which large
areas of the plains are covered. Former
ly these mounds, which average 80 fee'
in diameter and attain occasionally
height of ten feet, were supposed 10
have been made by ants, with whose
nests they abound. But recently Prof.
Clendenin, of the Louisiana state un'-
ycrsity, has found reason for thinking
that the mounds were formed through
the blowing up Of mud by gas escap-
ing from vents in the ground. Inc
arrangement of the mounds in zones anu
lines is accounted for by supposing tha'
the gas vents existed along the fractures
radlating from an earthquake center

Ne Reason for the Bryanites TO CRY sse-
tionalism.
The democratic managers, who are
striving to excite sectional prejudices
and whose hope of success rests on the
measure of discomfort they are able to
foment, have claimed that in the late
election the east was matched against
the west, and that had the result been
left TO the west the section as n section
would have been overwhelmingly
against Mckinley.
The changes have been rung on this
assumption until the people of some OF
the western states have been made to
believe that they must prepare for an
other great sectional contest. They
have been told that they have been
outvoted by the east, that the east elect
ed president obnoxious to the west,
and therefore the west is justified in
expressing dissatisfaction. Like most

discomfort, this falls to the ground

Irrigation by Windmiils,

1t was found that in the Arkan-
sas valley water could be obtained by
shallow wells ranging in depth from
eight to twenty feet. This is raised
by hundreds of windmills into hun
dreds of small reservoirs constructed
at the highest point of each farm.
The uniform eastward slope of the
plains is seven feet to the mile. The
indefatigable Kansas wind keeps the
mills in active operation. and tho
reservoirs are always full OF water,
which is drawn Oft as it is required for
purposes of irrigation. These small
individual pumping plants have cer-
tain advantages over the canal systems
which prevail elsewhere. The irriga-
tor has no entangling alliances with
companies or cooperative associa-
tions, and it is able to manage the
water supply without deferring TO tho
convenience of others or yielding
obedience to rules and regulations
essential to the orderly administra-
tion of systems which supply large
numbers of consumers. The original
cost OF such plant, exclusive of the
farmers own labor in constructing his
reservoirs and bitches, is 5000, and
the plant suf1ices for ten acres. The
farmer thus pays $40 per acre for "
perpetual guaranty of sufficient
''rain" to produce bountiful crops I;
but to this cost must be added SO per
acre as the annual price of maintain
ing the system. Century.
