trivance the air in escaping produces Q
sound similar TO the cry Of the creature

with two monkeys embracing each 9TH

ing of those animals One decorated
with bird would emit birdlike notes.
while a mountain cat ON one jar would

Wheat Fertilizers In Ohio.
The statistics collected by the town
ship assessors of Ohio indicate that tho
total expenditure by the farmers of the
state for commercial fertilizers rose
from $416, 900 in 1881 (the first year of
collection) TO 1898, 900 in 1888 and 81
297, 900 in 1891, thence falling to 81,
1913, 900 in 1894. The greater portion OF
these fertilizers has been used ON the
wheat crop, at least during the earlier
part Of this period, the ordinary practice
being to use 200 to 800 pounds per acre
Of fertilizer costing S25 to $50 per
ton. While large quantities of plain su-
perphosphates or superphosphates with
potash have been used il is reported
from the Ohio station to Rural New
Yorker that there is good reason to be-
ieve that the great bulk of the fertilizers
sold in Ohio have been mixtures Of
slaughter house tankage and acid phos-
phate, with occasional sprinklings of
muriate Of potash.

WE SPENT THE TWENTY

OK Saturday, October the slst,

dates gave the editor of this paper
a check for the sum of twenty dol,
lars, and at the same time he re
quested that We should expend the
money for him in a legitimate way
ON the day of the election. We as
sured the gentleman that we would
render a strict account for the
money thus intrusted to our care.
And We paid it out in the following
sums to the gentlemen who worked
around the polls on the Sd day of
November:

These two gentlemen worked al
day at the corner of Seventh and
South West Temple streets. on
Monday, November the I'd. Al
II o'clock, noon, we spent.one dol
lar for cigars with John Sheas, bar
tender, and on Monday night, after
we had heard the Hon. Warren
Foster, and other.speakers, expound
the Populist doctrine, we and sew
eral white gentlemen were CON-
PEELED to repair to M. E. Mulvey's
place, 2l3 South Main street, and
to partake of some of Mulvey's soda
water in order to counteract the
bad effect of Congressman Fosters
harangue. And after the bartender
had served us all with soda water
we requested him to put it on the
ice, but he would not have it that
way, and the result was that before
we could take our departure we had
to fork over one dollar for the soda
water. And on Tuesday noon we
paid ten cents for a lunch, ten cents
for street car fare and the remain
der of the twenty dollars, which
was seventy-6ve cents, we blowed
In while spludging around the town.
We hope that this simple statement
of how we spent the twenty dollars
viii be entirely satisfactory to the
Hon. John r. Simpson, the presi-
dent of the National Bank Of the
Republic, and owner of the Har-
mon block.

Wheat and Silver.

The relation between the price of
by Bryan andhis party does not appear
in the facts as to prices noted last
week in the market reports. Thirty
days ago wheat at Chicago brought So
cents, just the price of the bullion sill
Yer in Il gold backed American silver
dollar. Today wheat is selling on the
Chicago board of trade in the neigh
borhOod of 20 cents, while silver in the
meantime has fallen over per cent.
What caused this rise in wheat? Two
things-the partial failure of the Rus
sian crop, which caused shortage in
the worlds supply; and the fact that
the American crop was not large
enough to fill the gap. What caused
silver's fall? Two things-the fact that
more of it is being produced than for
merly; and secondly, the fact that less
of 1t Is wanted than formerly.
The government couldn't pass n law
that would keep the price of wheat up
to a dollar a bushel. neither could it
pass one which would keep the price
of silver up to $1.29 an ounce The best
it can do in either case is to so legis-
late with reference to the tariff that
our mills and factories and workshops
will keep the workingmen busy enough
to improve their appetites for bread
and to make possible a larger use of
properly secured silver in the payment
of wages and debts.

Steel Freight Cars,

Shippers by lake have already
learned to appreciate the structural
and economic advantages of the whale
back type of freight vessel-notably it's
cheapness, low resistance to waves
and large percentage of available ROOM
Now comes FROM st. Louis inventor
r. s. Easterbrook, an idea which may
be roughly described as the application
of the whaleback principle to land
freight haulage. His contrivance is
called q combination steel freight car,
and is built in tubular pattern, with
openings at either the top or side or
both.

lumber and bulk freight can be load ed
and unloaded from this car much more
cheaply and expeditiously than from u
box freight with only two door OPEN
ings, while after 1t is once closed,
locked and sealed, the liability of loss
by droppage or theft is practically
nothing. Then. too, such car Is said
to wear better, cost less in the long

The Situation in Nebraska.

An intelligent review of the condi-
tions which have made for Populism in
Nebraska-a state fairly typical of the
disaffccted western country in general
is made in the published correspond
ence of Walter Wellman. After show
ing how more than so per cent. of the

means of money borrowed at s per cent.
on mortgage security he explains the
hardships occasioned by three success
sive failures of the annual wheat crop,
which. added to the general fall in the
price of this staple agricultural pro-
duct by reason of worldwide overpro-
duction, left large portion of the ag-
ricultural population of Nebraska in
such financial straits as had never been
previously experienced.
Among these farmers as among peo-
pie generally there are two classes
one made up Of the frugal, thrifty and
enterprising in disposition and the
other comprising those who are care
less, improvident and inclined to lay
the blame for their own misfortunes
upon everybody and everything save
themselves. Mr.. Wellman says that
the former class, despite it's hardships
and discouragements, is In this cam
paign supporting Protection and sound
money, whereas the other class is
largely for Bryan and free silver. Those
who regard success in life as more pos
sible of attainment by individual econ
omy. prudence and activity than by act
of congress are for Mckinley; those
who want to throw the blame for their
troubles upon the government are
against him. or course, it is unfair to
say that all Nebraska supporters of
Bryan are thriftless or improvident;
but Mr.. Wellman's conclusion after q
personal canvass Of the state is that
the division between the voters on pres
idential choice in the main follows
these lines.
As to the final result in Nebraska
predictions are useless. for the simple

reason that there Is no present means
Of verifying them. In many townships
there are not 8 voters to the square
mile: both parties after an Intellectual
effort to take n poll Of the state aban-
doned the undertaking as impractic-
able. In the towns and cities the sound
money cause is steadily gaining. How
the trend is in the country districts can
only be conjectured. Mr.. Wellman
thinks Mckinley will carry the state
by a small plurality but he is not SAN
guine. Perhaps the best lesson to be
derived from his correspondence is that
there is danger of Republican overcon-
fidence and that the battle Is still close
enough to justify hard and earnest
work.

William Mckinley will not only have 4
large majority in the electoral colleges.
but will receive more ballots for president
and have IL larger majority on the pOpu-
lar vote than any man who ever ran for
the presidency.
1t Is timely to review the votes by which
the several presidents obtained the office
promising with the obvious reminder that
the popular vote has kept pace with the
growth of the country in population.
Eight presidents of the United States have
failed in securing Il majority of the suf-
frages of their fellow citizens at the polls.
These eight are Polk, Taylor. buchanan,
Lincoln in 1860, Hayes, Garfield. Cleve-
land in 1854 and Harrison. In 1874 Andrew
Jackson had a plurality of 5O,55l in Il total
vote of about $4,000, but the election was
thrown into the house of representatives,
and by that body John Quincy Adams
was elected. The following is u state
ment showing the majority or plurality
by which each of the presidents, beginning
with Jackson in ISIS. obtained the presi-
dency:
lS2S-Jackson. 1885, 134 majority.
1S52-Jackson, IA, ,3Oj majority over ALL

Polk was the first president elected
by a minority of the popular vote.
1Sis-Tayior had plurality over Cass
of l39,557. but Cass and Van Buren,
together had majority over him of
81 ,I0j.
1S52-Pierce had a majority of 5S,747 over
Scott and John l.. Hale.
lS5t-Buchanan had Il plurality of 1868
Erpmunt Iramnnt a

lS5O-Lincoln had plurality over Doug
las of 49l, 1876, but was in minority
on the popular vote to the extent of
9ii.0io
lS6i--Lincoln's majority was i07.3 .3i2.
lS6s-Grant's majority was 3Oo,i56
lS72-Grant's plurality over Greeley was
1881 and his majority over all was
lS7G-Tilden's plurality over Hayes was
2JO.s31 and his majority over all was
157,037.
1ssO-Gartirldss plurality over Hancock
was l,olS. but he was in minority of
1SS4-Cleveand had Il plurality of Go,GS3
over Blaine, but on the whole vote he
was in minority OF 23i.3l5.
1SSS-Cleveland's plurality over Harrison
was 9s,Ol7 while the total majority
over Harrison was J05.53O.
lS92-Cleveland over Harrison. $50, $40; over
Harrison and Weaver 1872.
At present Grant with the candidacy of
1872 has the plurality vote record. and
Grover Cleveland has the distinction of
having received the largest vote ever
given a presidential candidate. These
records will be broken this year. in my
opinion. for l expect Mckinley to have
100000 and more votes, and a plurality
of at least l,00o,0o0.
