VIEWS OF A POPULIST.
"a Butler on the Outlook in
Sunnoaed Doubtful States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Butler,
chairman of the Populist national commit
tee. arrived here this morning. There are
only four States" said he, lin which fusion
has not been arranged-Georgia, Florida,
North Carolina and Tennessee. An adjust
ment will be reached in Florida and Ten
nessee without doubt. So far as Georgia is
concerned. the State will go either for
Bryan and Watson or Bryan and Sewall.
An adjustment in North Carolina is diff
cult. because the Democrats rejected sew
eral very fair propositions which We're
made regarding the middle Western States.
Ohio can be classed as doubtful. Indiana,
with the fusion arranged, is safe for
Bryan, and Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota
and Iowa are in the balance | regard it as
safe to assume that the chances are even
in those States; that is, that two out of the
four will go for Bryan and silver. Zen
are doubtful, with the chance, L think
strongly in favor of Bryan in the former.

ton in Baltimore, | think, than in any city

not received Mr.. Watson's letter of accept
ance, which the latter is quoted as saying
he had mailed TO the senator on euneS-
day. Senator Butler and the national COM
mittee are represented by a subcommittee
now on the way to Georgia to confer with
the vice presidential candidate, and they
will be joined by other members of the gen.
eral committee in case there is any call for
their presence at the conference. The pur-
pose of the visit is understood to be to pre-
vail on Mr.. Watson to accept with good
grace the general committees address. is
sued from Chicago, as the proper policy for
the party, TO leave the details of party
management TO the committee. and to
cease his public criticisms of the commit
tees course. Senator Butler does not adj
nit there are differences between Mr.. Wat
son and the party managers, but it is no
secret that the committee has felt consid-
erably annoyed by Mr.. Watson's attack
upon its fusion policy. It is stated to be a
mistake to conclude, as appears to have
been done in certain quarters. that the Wis
iting committee will make an effort to Sc
cure Mr.. Watson's withdrawal from the
contest, or that the national committee is
DESTROYS of accomplishing this result. On
the contrary, it is their earnest desire to
keep Mr.. Watson'S name or the ticket as
being in the best interest of Mr.. Bryan and
the Populist party. Senator Butler denies
the story which originated in Chicago. that
there has been Il personal difference be-
tween himself and Vice Chairman Wash
burn. but states that. on the contrary, the
best possible feeling exists between them.

of the battle ship Indiana, has made a short
report to the Navy Department on the ex-
pertence of his ship in the heavy gale and
high seas on the cruise of the North
Atlantic squadron from Hampton Roads
to To~mpkinsville. He says that the Indiana
behaved magnifcently throughout. 1t has

the Navy Department that the squadron
has successfully weathered the worst seas
and gales that have been experienced by
an American squadron in many years. and

TO LADIES ONLY"
MIR. Bryan Trying to HoOdwink WOm-
en- rs Well as Men.

"o "s
1t was a few minutes after Z o'clck when
the Bryan train reached Lansing. After
dinner the candidate delivered three
speeches. At the usual meeting for ladies
only" he said among other things:
In the first place the value If the dollar
depends on the number of dollars. That
principle is fundamental. That principle is
simply the application of a general law to
the money question. The law of supply
and demand is the best known law of
day. We know, for instance, that If there
Is a drought and short crop of anything
that the price of that article will rise.
Why? Because the demand remains the
same and the supply is diminished. There
fore the value of it in the market must
rise. We can apply that to everything.
Now. that law which you understand in
every day operation is true of the money
question:; also that the value of the dollar
depends on the number of dollars. Then,
how can you make money dear? BY max
ing money scarce. How can you reduce the
lars. Now. / say that that is the first
principle and when you have understood
that you are prepared then to go on to
other principles: when you understand that
the value of the dollar depends on the
number of dollars. when you understand
that money can be made dear by making
some people want scarce money, because
some people profit by the dear money.
Now, it is natural for people to like those
things which are profitable to them and it
is natural that a person who. instead of
o"AliS property OWLS money or nOl0S con-
tracts payable in dollars to desire dollars
to rise.
The advocates of the gold standard add
the crime of hypocrisy to the sin of avarice.
L dc not mean that those who ignorantly
advocate the gold standard without under
standing its effects are guilty of this, but
L mean those who stand behind the gold
crusade, those who are attempting, under
the disguise of being international bimetal-
lists, to fasten the gold standard upon this
country never tell you their interest. They
try to make you think that they are phil
anthropists and are doing all that they can
do for the love of their country and for
the love of mankind without regard for any
selfish reasons"
AT a meeting in Capitol Square Mr.. Bry-
an went into an elaborate discussion of
how the bond deals are manipulated, as he
claims. In another address from the bal
cony of the Downey House he said the
silver people were willing to trust the en-
ployes of the corporations to vote as they
pleased while the great Republican leaders
are seeking to have the managers of cor
porations coerce and bulldoze their en-
ployes into voting the Republican ticket.
This proved. he claimed, that the Repub-
lcan party had a hopeless cause and had
lost faith in appealing to reason, since an
appeal to force was the last resort of
deSDeratiOn.

HAVANA, Oct. .-Anothe international
incident occurred in the harbor here to-
day. The police attempted to arrest on
board the Ward line steamship Vigilancia
a passenger who was on his way from New
York to Mexico. The mans name was
Angel Fernandez. He was born in AS
turias, Spain, but claimed to be a Mexican
citizen. Captain Mcintosh, Of the Vigilan-
cia, refused to deliver the man up and
the police ordered the Vigilancia to be de-

suited with General Fitzhugh Lee, the
United States consul general, and soon aft
erwards the V~igilancia was allowed to sail,
with Fernandez on board, to Mexico.

CHICAGO Oct. ia special to the
Times Herald from Washington says: IF
Spain does not end the war in Cub within
three months the insurgents will receive
from the United States virtual recognition
of their independence. 1t can be further
stated on authority that the President does
not expect that Spain will end the war
present year, and that he Is fully con-
WINGED that the grave duty will devolve
this matter. A high official of the admin

President may be looked for by the first of
the year. Long before that time the Vene-
zuelan question will be disposed of and the
administrator will be left free to devise a
plan for restoring peace in Cuba"

wATsoN's NAME WITHDRAWN.
1t VIII Not ppe on the Electoral
Ticket in kansas.

THOMSON, Ga. Oct. 16.-Thomas E.

his name off the head of the
as nominee for Vice President from off the
Populist ticket. The necessary afidavft in
due. form, authorizing the withdrawal from
that ticket ~omDani the other papers.
This is the first step taken by Mr.. Watson
since his recent visit to Kansas to
thwart the efforts of the fusion
entered into there with the Democrats.
The withdrawal of AIR. Watson's name
will leave the fusionists in a dilemma.
They will either have to insert the name
leave the vice presidential office blank on
the Populist ticket. This will cause much
embarrassment. MIR. Watson's name viii
appear in only one of the official ballots
in Kansas. and that will be at the head of
the mIddle-of-the-road Populists.

Close Root Pruning.

The new method of close root pruning
is exactly the reverse Of the old idea Of
transplanting-namely, taking up tree
with it's roots entire. Ell. M. Stringfel-
low, near Galveston, is the pioneer in
heralding this new method, which a
number Of equally successful horticul-
turists in the south approve and prac-
tice. Briefly stated, the new method is
as follows: Hold tree, top down. and
cut back to about one inch. This cut
will face down when tree is set. Leave
only from one to three feet of top. Let
all shoots grow. When one foot in
length, rub off all that are not needed
for symmetrical top.
The Pacific Rural Press, commenting
on this new method, says: "We are
aware that the system has been follow
ed to some extent by some planters upon
the moist soil in the neighborhood of
Visalia. It is our Judgment that under
favorable conditions for roofing, such as
retention Of moisture near the surface,
the results described by Mr.. Stringfel-
low would be attainable, so far as sue
cessful striking of roots from the fresh
ly cut stubs goes. We are also quite as
sured that under the conditions sur
rounding many of our newly planted
trees in California large proportion of
them would die. Our observation is
that too much Importance has been at
tached to the retention Of fibrous roots,
but we should want to cut our roots
longer than hedges for the same reason
that in the drier parts of this state we
use longer cutting and plant seeds deep
er than is desirable in moist summer
climates -

When to Use Hen Manure.

There is little objection to putting
the hen manure directly on the garden
to be plowed or spaded under in the
spring. One advantage in keeping this
manure over winter is that when thor
oughly dried out it may be crushed Or
ground and used with muriate Of potash
and ground bone to make good ferti-
lizer. This dried manure makes an ex-
cellent Ffller" for home mixed fer
tilizer. The carbonate of lime should
not be used on fresh hen manure if you
wish to retain it's value. This form of
lime liberates the ammonia by permit
ting it to pass into volatile form.
Land plaster, or sulphate of lime, will
"sweeten" the house and preserve the
manure much better than the Cline. "

Fighting Cutworms.

In a bulletin from the New Jersey
station it is stated that clover or sod
land is most frequently infested by cut
worms, which are less frequently found
on late cultivated land. The worms are
especially abundant in crimson clover.
Among the remedies suggested clean
culture is placed first, prominently asso-
ciated with early fall blowing. Apply
ing top dressing Of kainit and nitrate
of soda in the early spring if corn is to
be planted is advised, the seeding to be
delayed until the rain has carried the
fertilizers into the soil. Distributing
clover or bran that has been moistened
with paris green about the fields is also
recommended.
