Mr.. BRICE HEARD FROM.


The Democratic Boss Is Out of a
Job.
Mr.. German has not been heard from
since the election except to say that
such things do sometimes happen.
His friend Hill has not said as much as
that, even, but the other member OF
the trio, Brice, has found his voice.
That Observation-Disclosures wedding
breakfast gave him strength enough
to speak above a whisper. He is in
the social swim, with wealth enough
to keep him in it, Office or no Office,
and so it does not matter much to
him. with his social rather than po-
liticaI ambition, whether school is out
or not. He can afford to indulge the
easement of giving some vent to his
feelings.
Mr.. Brice finds little comfort In the
fact that he went down in a general
crash. His was not an isolated case,
by any means. Nobody has a right
to say that his being virtual nom
resident had anything to do with the
result, or that the sugar scandal "sweet-
ened" him. This was the year of uni
versal disaster for the democracy, with
out regard to individuality, locality,
or any secondary consideration what
soever. Extreme free trade or moder-
ate protection, gold or silver, did not
matter. They all went down to one
common ruin. To be democrat was
enough. There is no occasion to go
into details.
Mr.. Brice does not hesitate to say
that his party has no show for carrying
the next presidential election. He feels
about that as Cassie did about getting
back his military job after that famous
drunk. Il shall ask him for my place
again." be says, but OtheIlo will not,
as he prognosticated, stop to go into
particulars. He will tell me am a
drunkard." That will settle it. So,
as Mr.. Brice opines, to know that n
candidate for president is a democrat
will be the end of controversy. You
are a democrat" will be enough. The
candidate might have as many mouths
us Hydra; such an answer would stop
them all.
But Mr.. Brice does not think German
is necessarily done up. and he is right
about it. For. unfortunately for Hill,
the state senators elected in New York
the other day will vote on his successor,
and. still more unfortunately for Brice,
the Ohio Legislature will cast him into
outer darkness, and make short shift
of it, too; but lucky German is serving
term that will not end until March 4,
1901. Anything that lasts until the
year one may be renewed. That is a
good way of. Maryland is naturally
democratic state, and the willy German
will see to it that if he live and have his
health il must be himself or straight
outrepublican. The man who could work
his way from page to senator knows poll
tics and how to play every card. His
misfortune is, however, that of the So
in the pack he holds only bakers
dozen. and about the lowest in the deck.

rains and that his subsoiled ground
required less cultivation than ground
not SUBSIDIZED. Mr. Hilton, from whom
we have learned the facts, and who is
keeping close watch on progressive
methods in farming, has urged this
Greenwood county experimenter to
give part, at least, ofhis corn frequent
shallow cultivation up to the caring
time and report results next fall. He
is very confident that the subsoiler
has mission TO perform on soil SINH:

it will result in profit of a good

WELCOME TO HARRIS.
Enthusiastic Reception to the Next Con-
gresham.

4
gresham.
Ottawa Republican.
The reception of the news of the
nomination of Hon. j. p. Harris for
Congress, Yesterday afternoon, was a
tonic that stirred enthusiasm to the
highest pitch, and almost every citi-
zen Immediately constituted himself a
committee of one to organize an inn
promptu reception at the depot when
the popular gentleman and his friends
and active workers should return on
that the big platform at the Santa Fe
depot was insufficient to hold the hum
dreds of beaming people who gathered
and with them Prof. Egger's Owl
Club band, and "Dad" Martins Fife
and Drum corps. By general accla-
nation George Tracey was created
marshal of the occasion, and he re-
duced the enthusiastic crowd to order
and got it into rank. AS the distin-
guished party from the field of battle
filed from the cars they were met by
reception committee and escorted
through two long ranks of happy,
smiling, shouting, congratulsiing Cit
liens, who msdly shook hands with
the champion, with the worn looking
delegates, and then rapturously with
each other, while the hands lifted
patriotic strains, and strong-lunged
men, boys and ladies in the outskirts
created pandemonium with:big horns.
When the long extended ranks had
been traversed procession was start
ed for the city, with long cavalcade
of carriages following. Mr.. Harris
was escorted to the Peoples National
bank, and here a halt was made and
a universal clamor arose for a speech.
Smilingly Mr.. Harris assembled the
steps of the bank, and when the long
continued cheering ceased made abrief
address. He said to his friends and
neighbors that this was home
coming such as he had never expe-
rlenced before; in fact, he had never
come home before with a nomination
for Congress. He paid very CRATE
full compliment to the friends who had
supported his candidacy, and regret
ted that he could not find words suf-
ficient to express his thanks. Hewa
cheered uproariously.
Mr.. Harris then. introduced Col.
Carpenter, of Miami, chairman of the
late convention, who spoke in highly
complimentary terms Of the success.
full candidate. With his own delega-
ton, Mr.. Carpenter said, he had gone
to Lawrence in the interest of Mr.. Fun
ston, but they had found the Frank
lin county man a little too strong for
them; as next best choice they had
gone over to him. He should go home
we'll satisfied, knowing that we should
have Congressman who will grandly
represent us.
Col. Carter was followed by John
q. Johnson, of Anderson, Geo. L.
Anthony and H. j. Smith, all of whom
spoke in a highly complimentary
manner of the nominee and predicted
his triumphant election.
The congregated people by this
time seemed to appreciate the self
evident WEAKNESS of the party after
its hard struggle of four days, and
permitted them to go home.

sUBsOILING IN GREENWOOD COUNTY.
AS a champion of subsoiling ever
since Mr.. Hilton and other practical
students of Kansas agriculture pub
lished the first reports of their expert
ments, the Capital is glad to find a
proof of the value of this theory in a
record just received from Mr.. l..
Short of Hamilton, Greenwood county
of his own experience. Mr.. Short
purchased a Perine subsoiler May 1,
1895. and at once began using it on
ground already listed in corn he re-
ports that the middle of ridges again
split with lister, followed by SUBJ
soiler, the lister running five inches
deep and the subsoiler Is inches max
ing 20 inches in all. Corn was planted
with check-row planter about the
middle of May, cultivated twice with
disc cultivator, hOed once, and was
ripe at the same time with a neigh
boris corn on similar bottom land
planted April l.
Mr.. Shorts neighbors gathered So
bushels to the acre and Mr.. Short
gathered IS bushels per acre on the
same kind of land. This difference
was undoubtedly due to the subsoil-
ing process, a bit of work that cost
little time, and but about 8 per acre,
or at the rate of cents a bushel for
the extra 40 bushels harvested.
In addition to his bottom land, Mr..
Short listed also go acres of upland
once, followed it with the subsoiler ten
to twelve inches deep, finished plant
ing on June 4 and gathered an aver
age of 10 bushels per acre. He reports
that the subsoiler burrows were AZ
inches apart on the upland and q on
the bottom land. On good slope land
not SUBSIDIZED, planted April 10, he
gathered 80 bushels per acre, or Is
bushels less than on the upland only
half SUBSIDIZED and planted very late.
All the subsoiling was done, on 100
acres, by three horses, weighing from
1850 to ], l50 each, and the team was
in quite as good condition when the
work was finished as when it began.
MIR. Short is now subsoiling fer oats
and will run the subsoiler over all the
land this spring that was in use last
year. He reports that subsoiling has
proved a remedy for washing by heavy
