the most careful of feeders, the ami

an animal will eat and relish every day.
If it must be fed, give the COW only what

even this feeling was not shared by the
confessed his despair. He said party
ties are too strong to hope to organize
a silver party in the senate, and it looks
as il he has told the truth for once in
his life. There is every reason to be-

selves powerless to do further harm.
1t ought to be SO. for they have done far
too much harm already. They were d.

drain of the gold from the treasury
which preeipitated the first panic OF
1893, and for an extra Indebtedness Of
nearly $16,000,oo0 on the bond issue OF
