Value of Corn.


Considerable difference of opin-
ion exists among farmers as to the
number of pounds of pork that can
be made from bushel Of corn.
The estimates run all tie way from
three to twelve pounds. The
amount depends upon the kind of
stock, the weather, the skill of the
feeder and other conditions.
Breeds, too, differ in this respect,
some showing somewhat greater
gains than others, but all the i'm
proved varieties respond more
readily than the scrub. 1t is i'm
possible, therefore, to lay down any
regular rule by which to find the
pork equivalent to a bushel Of corn.
We are able only to- determine the
approximate value.
In some experiments recently
made in this direction it was found
that thoroughbred pigs requi, ed
nearly one thousand pounds of
meal to carry them from 100 to 800
pounds in a growing condition and
without making them too fat.
Greater gains can be made, how
ever, with pigs under 100 pounds,
the smaller the animal the less
amount of food being required to
supp ,rt its weight while making the
gain.-New York World.

The LafayetteaG Gazette is right In
declaring that the Republican party
|of Louisiana cannot keep away from
the negro or disidentify itself with
negro questions. No matter how
lily white new Republican party
may be, its very name compels it to
take up all negro issues. Take, for
instance, the national Republicans,
or planters. When theyestarted out
no one could illuminate more saw
agely against the negroes. They
would allow no colored man to en-
ter any of the meetings; they de-
clared that they favored the elimi-
nation of the negro from our poll
tics and would support the suffrage
amendment; and we were informed
that at last a Republican party had
been organized in Louisiana that
was respectable and free from any
faint of Africanism. But, alas,
even the planters could not keep
away from this fatal issue.
AS for the Republican party
proper, it has abandoned all issue
in the present campaign but the ne
gro one. It is opposed to all the
legislation which has been passed in
the interest of protecting white SUI
premacy. 1t demands the repeal of
the anti-miscegenation law and of
the separate railroad car law, and
it protests against the suffrage
amendment. 1t would send us back
a Quarter of century to the period
of 1870, when the negroes were as
sailing our public school system and
threatening it's extinction. There is
not a prominent negro in Louisiana
who does not believe in mixed
schools, who would not educate the
white and black youth together, who
does not believe i'll what is SO close
to social equality that no one can
define the difference. All these are
the legitimate aims of the Republi-
can party, and would come with
Republican victory.
There is no getting away from it.
A party with that name drifts nat
urally to Africa. We have seen no
better evidence of it than in the 10
sition of the boiling planters No
one appreciates more than they the
evils of negro supremacy, no one is
naturally more opposed to it. 1t is
but Justice to the national Repub-
licans to say that they saw the dan
ger, the probability of their being
swamped in the African hordes, and
tried to steer clear of it, shut their
doors to the blacks, refused, save
in a few cases, to deal with them
and set up the pure, white flag Of eau
casia. If they have failed, if they
have been forced by their very name
to take up the defense of negro suf-
frage it is only proof that Republi
canism in Louisiana at least means
negro, or alliance with negroism.

The Sound Money Supplement" to
the last issue of the Railway Age con-
tains letter from President E. P.
Ripley of the Santa Fe in reference to
the campaign literature which is being
sent out to railroad employees over the
United States by that publication. The
letter was written in reply to a COM
munication from the editor of the Rail
way Age asking Mr.. Ripley to state
whether or not he had anything to do
in prompting or instigating that pa
per's campaign. President Ripley an
sWered as follows:
The first information which I had
of the work which the Railway Age is
doing was from the columns of the dali
ly press and from reports which reach
ed me from employees on my road and
from other railroad men, You did not
consult me or, believe, any officer of
this company neither did we in any
way suggest or instigate the cam
paign. Personally my sympathies are
in favor of sound money.
I cannot understand how any rail-
way man can fail to see that the free
coinage Of silver must be injurious to
his interests as a. wage Garner. There
fore 1 have been gratified to note the
good work which the Railway Age is
engaged in, which regard as a re-
markable and praisewOrthy piece of
enterprise on the part of yourself and
your associates. I may add that 1
should consider it highly improper for
myself or other officers of this COM
pany to attempt to use our official in
tiuence to cOerce our men in such
matter. 1 believe that the good sense
Of the men themselves. however, will
tell them what party to vote with in
the present campaign
While it is probably true that Mr..
Ripley had nothing to do with suggest
ing or instigating the work Of the
Railway Age, that paper has a roster
of Mr.. Ripley's employees over the en-
tire Santa Fe system and is now send
ing out gold literature to these men.
Several weeks ago a roster of ali San
ia Fe employees with their postOf1ce
addresses was compiled at the request
of Mr. Ripley, and it is only reasonable
to suppose that this roster was for the
use of the Railway Age.

SILVER GHOST STALKS.
Republican Resolutions of 1890 Re-
turn to Plague.

Chanute, Aug 24.-The free silver
Democrats, Republicans and Populists
of this place met Saturday night and
organized a Bryan Silver club, with a
membership of over 200, many of whom
have formerly been radical Republi-
cans.
Judge J. B. Beatty, a Republican
from the foundation of the party, and
for eight years a federal Office holder,
was elected president.
Judge Beatty in announcing his posi-
ton submitted the following resolution
adopted by the Republican county con-
VentiOn of this, Neosho county, in 1890
and remarked that he had not strayed,
but his party had gone off and left
him in the Democratic ranks.
The present Republican congress
has shown not only by word, but by
deed, the sincerity and earnestness of
its purpose, and we are especially graf
flied with the legislation enacted in the
interests of the increased coinage of
silver. which thereby materially adds
to the volume of circulating medium
rendered necessary by the expansion
of business interests throughout our
land, and we trust the time is not very
far remote when congress can complete
the good work so auspiciously begun
by giving US free and unlimited coinage

posTER as A SOLDIER.
Enlisted in the Union Army at the
Age of IA Years.

Judge Frank Doster has a military
record, but he doesn't parade it,
says the Kansas City Times. He
enlisted in the Eleventh Indiana cavaI-
ry at the age of 10 under Lincoln's last
three-year call. In the early summer
of 1865 his company was sent up from
the south and served along the Santa
F'e trail in Kansas until the fall of that
year.
Prior to his enlistment in the army he
served in the Indiana militia and mixed
up with Morgan of raid fame. He was
not IA years old when he first Shout
dered a gun in defense of his country.
