The middle of the road Populis,

The middle of the road Populists
have succeeded in accomplishing just
what they set out to do-produce an
almost irremediable split in the ranks
of the Populist party-by endorsing
the nomination of Bryan for President,
and nominating the redoutable Tom
Watson of Georgia for vice-president,
instead of indorslng the nomination of
Sewall, the Maine shipbuilder, who
was supposed to furnish the barrel for
the Bryan campaign. Bryan refuses
the Populist nomination on account OF
the convention not endorsing his run
ming mate, and the National Populis-
tic and Democratic ships continue
sinking deeper in the mire of political
graveyards.

The Democratic National platform
pledges the party to change in the
constitution of the Supreme Court
whereby an income tax law will be
declared unconstitutional. Instead OF
this anarchistic manner of attempting
to tear down one of the life principles
of this government would it not be
better to let the people vote on con-
stitutional amendment declaring an
income tax unconstitutional. A little
good sense and judgment is much
better than anarchy any day.

To Get Rid of Chinch Bugs.

The contagious disease of chinch
bugs which has been disseminated free
of charge by the Missouri Agricultural
College Experiment Station for tho
past four years, seems to have been
quite successful in keeping these in
sects in check. More than two thou
sand farmers have reported satisfactory
results. The disease seems to spread
rapidly, and when the weather condi-
tions are favorable it proves very fatal
to the bugs. Reports from different
sections of the state indicate that this
pest will be very injurious to all crops
this year unless checked by cool
weather, or unless concerted action in
the dissemination of this disease is
taken by the farmers
The station is now ready to begin
free distribution of the infectious ma
terial upon condition that those max
ing application for it send with their
letters as many live chinch bugs as
possible. They may be inclosed in any
strong, tight box and sent through the
mail. Facilities for distributing the
infection have been improved so that
if the farmers Will keep the station
supplied with bugs there need be no
delay in receiving the infection imme-
diately upon receipt of their request.
Applications for infection may be
made to Prof j. NJ Stedman, entomo-
logist, or to Director II. J. Waters,
Columbia, not forgetting to send live
bugs

A War Claims Riders.

Senator Harris, of Tennessee has pro-
posed an amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill providing for
the payment of all the claims adjudica-
ted by the court of claims under the
Bowman act. This is practically the
old omnibus bill reported to the House
in the former congress. During the
present administration of the House,
bills providing for the payment Of
war claims, g" so-called, are tabooed
and the Tennessee senator is evidently
trying to work them in as a rider on
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The claims embrace pretty generally
all the southern and border states.
The following items in the bill relate
to Missouri claims: E. w. Atchley,
administrator of Thomas v. Atchley of

Judge Stevens and other leading
members of the A. p. A., who have
been conspicuous in the fight against
Mckinley in the republican party, are
now preparing for war on Ex- Con
gresham r. p Bland, who has been
named as the choice of Missouri demo-
Gratis for the democratic nomination
for president.
The A. p. A. hostility is due to the
discovery of the fact that Mrs. Bland
is devout member of the Catholic
church. has raised the children in that
faith and the Oldest son, aged II, is
now attending the Catholic Christian
Brothers College.
Bland himself is not a member of
any church and is very liberal in his
religious views, but the secret order
will fight him because of the religion
of his family. Stevens has appointed
a committee to nuke thorough in
yestigation and will then use all of his
influence as, we as that of the order to
draw free silver delegates from Bland.
Asked: "Is it within the power of
your organization to prevent Bland g

it is. -
"How many of the delegates elected
to date do you control2"
"That l do not know. We do not
get daily reports from headquarters,
but we will know all about every dele.

tion before the time comes We will
have the power to prevent the nomina
tion of any candidate our order op-
poses, "
"Will you open up fight on Bland
as soon as you are convinced that your
information is correct2'
"As the matter now stands Bland
does not seem to me to be likely to be
nominatel. If the 16 to free silver
coinage men are in control in the Chi
cago convention and Bland threatens
to be the nominee then our forces will
be brought to bear to knock him out -
Suppose Bland should be nomina
ted in spite of your delegates9"
"Then the order will take care OF

Mr.. Bland, asked as to the truth
of the story, referred to the letter he
wrote last September in answer
to the question if it were true
that he was Catholic In it he said

ant, that his family were all Methodists
and that, while he was inclined to be
liberal in his views, he had always

he ever expected to be.

for the presidency evoked great en-.
thusiasm. f
Tennessee Republicans.


The platform adopted renews the
party's devotion to reciprocity, protec-
tion, sound finances, progress and
human liberty; demands readjust-
ment of the tariff, so as to afford pro-
lection reasonable and adequate; calls
for reciprocity agreements, condemns
the administration of President Cleve-
land indorses the Nicaragua Canal I;
demands the early adoption of policy
that will bring the war in Cuba to an
end, and for an appropriation by con-
gress for the Tennessee Centennial Ex-
position.
The financial plank of the platform
is as follows:
We are unalterably opposed to any
scheme that will give to this country
q deprecated and debased currency,
We favor the use of silver as currency,
but to the extent only that Its parity
with gold will be maintained, and in
consequence are opposed to free and
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver at ratio of 16 to 1: We believe
that every American dollar should be
an honest 100 cents dollar always and
everywhere.
The platform also instructs the dele
gates for Mckinley for president and
for II. G. Evans Of Tennessee for vice.

Mr.. Cannon's Map Scheme.

In the senate Mr.. Cannon of Utah
made speech in favor of his resolution
for ground map of the United States
near this city. He explained that it
would cover 625 acres and would give
an object lesson on the extent Of the
country. The Mississippi river would
be shown by an actual stream three
feet wide and 2, 600 yards long, while
Lake Michigan would have %, 900
square yards Of water. Mr.. Cannon
said he would have the map include
"Crucified Cuba" and also leave su1i-
cient space to the north to permit the
addition of other countries which
might choose to join the Union. The
bill was referred to the committee on
public buildings and grounds.
Mr.. Cannon proposes to have con-
structed in the suburbs ground map
showing every physical feature of the
country, every hill, mountain, valley
and plain, every lake, river, every
hamlet, village, town and city. and
probably every railroad. All this is to
be done in miniature but on such a
scale as will give map about two
thirds Of mile in length by one'third
of a>mile in breadth. The resolu ion
provides for the appointment of a com
mission of five persons to serve without
compensation, three to be appointed
by the president. one by the president
Of the Senate and the other by the
speaker Of the House, whose duty it
shall be to inquire into and report
upon the adyisability. practicability
and cost of establishing such map on
such scale that one foot of map sur
face will represent one square mile of
actual area In round numbers the
United States extends about $500
miles from east to west, and about half
that distance from north to south.
This would give map $500 feet long
by 1,750 wide.
