To the Editor of the indianapolis Journals
I send you herewith sample of the new
Florida productive wonderful velvet bean.
Uyp to two years ago it was grown here in
a limited way, mainly as a trellis shade,
but afterward it being discovered that it
was invaluable for all kinds of stock as a
forage, and a phenomenal fertilizer for
orange and other fruit trees and for the soil
as well, it has been grown in larger way
since that time. There is nothing yet dis
covered that is. all in all, so valuable a
crop for farmers to raise as this. 1t being
an air plant, it will do well on most any
kind of soil. In any of the States, North
or South that will grow corn. ard no fer
tiIizcr is necessary. The forage-the ver-
biage and vine-coming from this bean is
a marvel and a wonder. To plant in rows
four feet apart will produce solid mass of
vine and folia sc to the depth of from fif-
teen TO twenty inches, covering the entire
surface of the ground. Beside the vine be-
ing valuable fertilizer, forage and mulch.

Hill the vine runs out in all directions like
the watermelon, from ten TO twenty feet.
1t commences to fruit at the hill in clusters
like the raisin grape. thence along the en-
tire length of the vine at intervals of from
ten to twenty inches pods in clusters of

thirty bushels of Sheiled beans would be a
modest estimate for an acre of ground, av-

Ideas About Republican Doctrine.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The following is believed to represent the
opinion of the masses of the Republican
party and great majority of the inteli-
gent people of all parties on the leading
topics that should engage the attention of
the present Congress:
/. A speedy annexation of Hawaii with
territorial or some kindred form of govern
ment.
2. A moderate currency reform measure,
drawn on the lines indicated by Secretary
Gage and President Mckinley.
g. Some modification of the pension laws,
so as not to extend benefits to those so re-
mote from the ones who did the service.
The government is under no obligations to
a young woman or her offspring who mar
ries an old man in the decrepitude of age
because he is drawing a pension. There
are parents of from two to half dozen IONS,
one of whom was lost in the army; that
son, whether the oldest or youngest, is al
ways shown to have been the only support
of those poor and INDECENT parents. Pri-
vate and special pensions are usually Fri
Vate snaps.
T. Appropriations should always be kept
below the amount of the revenues. Tariffs
may be raised mountain high, but if appro-
priatons are higher we will still have finan-
cial disturbances. The waste in public ex-
penditures is appalling, yet congressman
ask anew the SURFACES OF the people that
they may return and renew this waste. A
good healthy appropriation for his district
seems to be a congressman main hobby.
s. Reform in the civil service Appoint
ments under the present law are all right
but time tenure of. say, from four to six
years is what is wanted New blood should
be injected into the whole body at least
every two years, somewhat. after the man
ner that it is in the United States Senate.
Life tenure is not American, nor does it
ccnduce to effective service. 1t fosters an
ofiiceholding aristocracy not in touch with
the common people.
6. Some decisive action on the Cuban cues
ton. The present policy of inaction is not
what the American people want nor what
they expected. The death of a quarter of
a million of noncombatants, through Span
ish cruelty and inhumanity, cries for ven
geance. We do not want war with Spain
nor W i'll we have any, nor do we want Gu
ba, but what we do want is that this inhu-
man war shall cease. President Cleveland
gained more glory over his stand on the
Venezuelan question than on any other one
act of his life. If President Mckinley
should send an energetic message to Con-
gress declaring this inhuman war shall
cease it would meet with such shout of
approval as has not been heard since the
days of Appamattox. }.

vincennes, Ind, Dec. %.


To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The country as well as the Republican
party, is to be congratulated on the wise
and patriotic administration given us since
President Mckinley entered upon the duties
of his Office His public utterances have all
been in line with Republican teachings and
doctrines as enunciated by Republican ma
tional platforms. In other words, he be-
lieves platform means something.
Now, what will Republican Congress do
will it follow the example of the chief ex-
ecutive or will it attempt to turn the hands
of the clock backward? Some members of
Congress are certainly not familiar with the
national Republican platforms on the subject
of civil service. Every national Republican
platform for nearly twenty years has in
dOrSed civil service: every Republican PreSi-
dent since that time has approved the meas
ure. Such distinguished Republicans as
Harrison, Mckinley Sherman, Allison and
EdmundS voted for the measure, and that
distinguished Democrat, Senator George H.
PendetOn, spoke for and voted for the
measure. The people are not demanding the
repeal of this law, and the people generally
KNOW what they want. L am party man.
and do not claim to be a refOrmer, but a
plain everyday Republican, and am anxious
to see the affairs of the country so con-
Quoted that the people will be willing to
continue the Republican party in power. The
Jaw will not be repealed. This talk is for
the salaries and some of the boys.
1 am opposed to a civil pension list, and if
civil service can't a civil pension list
would say repeal the law. We want broad
conservative statesmen, more business and
less small politics. In this day of news
papers, telegraphs and telephones the people
know what Congress is doing. and would
say to our senator's and representatives
keep your eyes on the people; you are their
servants and not their masters. Pass such
sound financial measures as will give con-
fidence to the business interests of the coun-
try; be economical in public expenditures,
and you will have served your country well.

HAVANA, via Key West. Dec. 25-As is
customary here on Christmas eve, large
crowds OF Spaniards assembled in Central
Park and inouiged in dancing, singing and
other forms OF amusement. A large num-
Der of those present becoming intoxicated,
began to make demons trations ana to shout

Union Constitutional!' Down with Au-
tonomyr' and other disturbing cries. The
ponce were summoned, and on their arrival
ordered the crowd to disperse. No attention
was paid to their orders, and the officers
beng reinforced, guards were stationed IN
all the avenues in the vicinity of the park
In the meanwhile the groups in the park
continued their shouting and demonstration
compelling the cavairy, a detachment OF
which had been summoned TO the scene, to
char0e upon them, saber in hand. and dis
perse them. Several of the police were
slightly injured by stones thrown by the
populace. Eight arrests were made, but no
ShCts were hred.
