There is quite a probability that wool

Snpt. McKerrow of the Farmers Instl-

applications for institutes early this year
as there will be more institutes asked for

valuable hints to farmers. Among these

hopeful of favorable action in the senate

ORDINARILY, there would be a feeling
of sympathy for an official against whom
universal custom was set aside. But no
snch feeling Is aroused IN the case of
Gov. Upham. He has been governor
without executive ability, dignity or IN
tiuence. He began Ey promising every
thing to every one whom he thought could
assist him. He has been partisan IN
small things and narrow in everything.
His pledged word had no more weight
than the lightest wind which blows.
He did, what no other governor ever
thought of dong. made the Board of
Normal regents partisan body. He
has earned no distinction 10y being gov
erpor. except the unenvlable one of hav

CHAUNCEY DRPEw in an address de-
llvered at party recently given him on
the anniversary OF his birth. stated that
the period of disaster through which we
have passed Is worth its cost If 1t teaches
the absurdlties of populism. 1t has just
done the reverse, and solely because the
party of which Mr.. Depew Is prominent
member has sought to create the i'm
preston that the disasters are due to
democratic ascendancy. What Is a more
natural consequence of the prevalence of
this idea than that the people should
look To the government as the source of
all evil and all good? Populism Is the
first born OF protection and seeks to de-
throne the old man. Free coinage Is
protection working by direct methods.

FARMERS are led tosupport free coinage

vance the price of agricultural products.
They We're led to support the party which
favors protection by being made to
believe that protection would raise prices.
BY this time they should be thoroughly
satisfied of the absurdity of the idea that
they can be protected by a tariff upon
agricultural products. \ little common

HORACE RUBLEE OF The Sentinel has
been In the south for some time and
made inquiries as to the cause of the
sentiment IN favor of free silver there.
He learned it was the debtor class who
disseminated the ideas favorable to free
silver. Nhen the common people became
impregnated with the folly, the poll
ticians swung into line and thus solidi-
fed the sentiment. The silver craze,
like all movements based on selfshness,
will suhs!de with time.

POLITICAL economists have recognized
caw dividing line drawn with reference
TO the performance of certain ideas.
Mason aud Dixon's line Is now obsolete.
1t died with slavery, but its ghost was
made to stalk about To frlghten voters.
The new dividing line runs from north 10
south, 1t is the west which now hugs
an idea dearer to it than Is the integrity
OF the union.
Populism makes certain demands of
the government. II Is only what pro.
tected Industries have been asking and
receiving IN a disguised form. The
owners of silver mines are ontspoken in
their demands. They demand from the
government dollar for 30 cents worth
of their commodity. The debtors of the
west abet these demands because they
will thereby be able to pay debt of one
dollar with half dollar The west is
looking TO the government for support.

good authority that Cleveland is of the
opinion that the Chicago convention will
declare in favor of sound money and

Every true democrat hopes that Mr.
Cleveland has made proper diagnosis,
