Last night Palmer and Buckner
were accorded magnificent ovation
at Madison Square garden in New
York. There will be a third state
ticket put out to back up their cleo
tOral tickets in that state, and that
ticket will poll nearly or quite as
many votes as the Bryan-Sewall COM
bination. That Mckinley will poll
about as many votes as both factions
combined is already certain.

1t is growing patent to the plainest
comprehension that the distinguish
ing feature of the Republican cam
paign, as set forth in the literature
that it puts forth in tile literature
of its presidential nominee, is it's pa
triotism, while the other in its rep
resentatives and in its platform is
loaded to the guards with prejudice
and partizanship. 1t is apparent to
every one who must win.

However men may differ about
free silver and its benefits, there is no
difference of opinion as to the bene-
fits that the free distribution Of the
productions of the San Antonio man
ufactories is giving in the way of adj
vertising those industrial concerns.
Home industry, supported by home
buyers, strengthens home production.
This home truth should be brought
home to our home people.

love of a woman and 25c. Richard
Jones and Moses Struthers, both col

began to shoot at each other. Both
revolvers were emptied.i Struthers

1t seems that the reports of the oc-
cupation of Dongola by the British
was a little premature. 1t should
not be. Great Britain should occupy
that whole region in the interests of
civilization. 1t is not occupation of
this kind that is objected to. but at
tempted occupation of territory on this
western hemisphere that is not in

tions of the United States. 1t is far

HILL HEDGES HANDSOMELY

| HILL HEDGES HANDSOMELY.
| Tammany is in a pot of trouble, or
pretends 10 be. That free silver ar
rangement mt Buffalo over which
Tammany presided, and for which
that organization stood sponsor, has
| been euchred in the state deal i'm a
way that is neither childlike nor bland
The nominee for governor on that
| platform is out for hard money and
| the executive committee that runs
| the state machine is in a state of
mind as to what to do in the premises.
| That convention is presumably for
Bryan and Sewall, bit the declaration
of Thatcher cuts off the state ticket
| from all real connection with the Chi
cago nominations and platform and
leaves that mOngrel to shift for itself.
No wonder that the Bryanites are a
little hot in the collar over the sell
out, for there is not a doubt now that
this is the work of those leaders in
the sound money ranks who do not
state organization. Whether this is
the scheme that Hill has evolved
from the depth of his astuteness or
not it is certain that is suits him to n
hair. He has not antagonized the
state convention. He is on record
at Chicago as opposed to all the va
carries of the silver wing of the ma
tional Democracy. He has held
quietly and silently afar off from all
the movements for or against the
action of the Chicago convention. He
has courteously entertained Bryan in
his own home, and as courteously
declined all invitations to be publicly
represented in any of the Bryan dem
onstrations. In all of which he has
shown himself strictly in the middle
of the road. BY no action of his can
he be arraigned in the national coun-
ellis of the party as opposing its ac-
ton at Chicago, nor can he be charg-
ed by the sound money wing of the
party with repudiating his record at
Chicago and favOring the men and
measures put forth by the national
Democratic convention originally
held. He stands to be strictly in it.
in any event, and when the fight is
over, like the old man who climbed
up in the. attic while the fight be-
tween he old woman and the bear
was in progress, he can come down
and remark: Didn't we kill that
bear?' There is neither comfort nor
cause for much complaint on the part
of the silverites against Hill. His
fOrbearTnce in not actively operating
against them, after his plain talk
against their ticket at Chicago, and
platform no less, is so much in his
favor, while in future conventions if
the sound money men lead, he will
be able to show that he was a sound
money advocate, but not to the ex-
tent of boiling a national ticket. He
has two strings to his bow, and it will
be in accordance with Hill to pull
both of them or either as occasion re-
quires.

Shredding and Feeding It-A Western
Plan Described.
Each season brings improvements to
tho corn huskers and fodder cutters
which are of especial value where the
season is short and farmers can afford
tho machinery. In some sections shred
ding has boen done with tho common
small grain thrasher. A Kansas contrib
utor to tho Ohio Farmer tells that, as u
shredder, the thrasher used with all Of
the cylinder spikes and two half rows
of concave spikes is decided success,
doing the work rapidly and well-in
fact, much moro of success than as Il
shelter and cleaner of the grain, which
usually is left somewhat broken and not
clean enough for market, though in good
condition for feeding purposes. If, how
ever, the ground has been wet and is
frozen when the thrashing is done, caus
ing tho earth to adhere to tho stalks,
considerable quantity of Jumps Of
frozen earth about the size of corn
kernels will DO found in tho grain.
If the corn is dry whom thrashed,

Chemical Study of The Potato.

L. l.. Watson, assistant chemist at
the Virginia station at Blacksburg, in
q bulletin on the Irish potato, considers
tho potato from a chemical point Of
view and compares tubcrs grown III diff
fercnt states. y brief resume Of the
most important facts are:
First. Tho ratio existing between
the specific gravity and starch is not u
fixed ono, which is clearly shown, espe-
cially i'll the comparison of tho average
OF the Connecticut grown varieties with
that of the other states. Connecticut
shows lower specific gravity and IL
higher percentage Of starch by about ,
per cent than the Virginia grown va
rieties.
Second. Tho valuo OF the potato, be-
Ing reckoned from its table use, based
upon tho amount Of starch contained, is
very nearly the samo--i. e., approxi-
maiely the same for the three districts
northern, western and southern. The
difference is slightly in favor of tho
northern grown varieties.
Third.-That the starch content va
ries for variety and locality.
Fourth. That some varieties REQUIRE
moro plant food than others, other con
ditions being the same.
