pletely under the control of extre-
mists like Bryan, Altgeld and

in name will become a Populist
party ia reality.
"Holding the views that | do, /
can see no course open to me but to
follow my convictions and go with
the organization that l believe
embodies the true Democracy.
In local matters | want to see all
Democrats, irrespective of financial,
faith, unite, but unless the attitude
of the Chicago wing of the party be-
comes more conservative and more
conciliatory | am sure that union
in national conflicts and in contests
wherein the financial declaration of
the Chicago platform is made para
mount will be impossible.
81 do not know what the commit
tee at Nashville will do, but as for
myself | am in favor of the course
which has been followed in Iowa,
Ohio and Kentucky. | believe the
most thorough and powerful organ
ization possible should be perfected
and vigorous action taken all along
the line. There were thousands up
on thousands who voted for Bryan
last fall as l did in the hope of future
correctior of what they believed to
be errors or through a 7s re to re-
main regular. There were perhaps
as many more Democrat who voted
for Mckinley outright, and more
than 1000, OOOvoted for Paine and
Buckner. All of these constitute
many more than a million and practi
cally all of them will refuse to sup
port the Chicago platforms in the flu
ture. 1t is going to be much harder
to keep these out of the Republican
party than it is to keep them from
the Chicago Democracy. To KEEP
them out of the Republican ranks
and hold them for a reunion of al
Democrats upon some common
grounds is the object of the Nation

Anxious for a Change.

Chattanooga, Sept, 7th.-Capt.
Joseph Kinds, late United States
Consul to Buenos Ayres, Argentine
Republic, has returned to his home
at Decatur, Ala. While in South
America, Capt. Kinds made an ex-
haustive study of the financial sys-
TENS of all the South American re-
publics. In an interview today he
expressed himself emphatically as
being convinced that free silver is a
failure in South America, and has
produced almost incalculable i'm
poverishment of the masses. He
says that all classes are tired of free
silver and are crying out for a
change. The common people and
laborers complain that wages have
decreased steadily, as well as the
purchasing power or silver money.
Business men say that the fiuctua-
tiOns in valuation of silver para
lyzes business and throttles enter
prise. Farmers in the great wheat
growing belt of Argentine feel the
deleterious effects of the system
worse of all.
Mr.. Kinds says further that the
people are studying the financial
question and the more information
they acquire the louder are their
protestations against free silver.
Capt. Kinds predicts that with
in a few years the Argentine Repub-
lie and Brazil will adopt the gold
standard, as the drift of sentiment
makes this course almost inevitable.
In concluding his interview, Capt.
Kinds said;
"The South American free-silyer
republics would be glad to get rid
OF their silver for almost any kind
of money. 1t has the least appreci-
able value in those countries. When
| had made arrangements to visit
home, after having been there
three years, l found upon inquiry
that $500 in gold, which l needed
to defray my expenses, would cost
me 81, $50 in silver, and that is
what l had to pay for it. l am no
financial crank, and only speak of
what | know to be facts"

Crop Report.

Maj. Ii. G. Bate, Section Direct
or, Of Nashville, makes the follow
ing report of the general condition
of crops for the week ending, Mon
day Sept. 9th:
High temperature, good per-
centage of sunshine, and insufficient
rainfall were the features of the
weather during the past week over
the greater portion of the State.
Light, local showers fell in many
counties and gave temporary relief
to suffering vegetation. In a few
counties in each of the three Sec
tions good rains fell and great
ly revived failing crops, notably
in the central valleys of the Eastern
Section, the western cour ties of the
Middle Section, and the central
portion of the Western Section.
But the consensus of opinion from
all parts of the State is that good,
general, soaking rain is much need
ed just nov to save some of the
crops that g in critical period of
development from positive failure
as we'll as to restore others not quite
so far one to somethi : like a
.Ormal condition. In some places
the injury by drouth is too fully
established in some crops to be re-
lieved by any amount of rain. For
tunately these "dry" districts are
rather the exception that the rule,
and there has been rain sufficient
in most parts to cause fair yields in
many of the maturing crops. This
is especially true of the Eastern
Section, and some portions of the
Middle Section. Early corn is ma
turing rapidly, and is generally safe,
but is shortened to some extent by
the dry weather of August. Cotton
is opening, and picking has begun;
reports of rapid shedding of forms
come from the western counties,
and the crop is considerably short
tened. Tobacco in the Upper Cum
berland counties and in the Eastern
Section is in good condition; in the
northwestern counties the crop is
damaged by dry weather. Late
corn in the dry districts has failed
greatly; saving fodder is in pro-
gress. Field peas are ripening and
being gathered. The late crop of
Irish potatoes is almost a failure in
many places; sweet potatoes are in
good condition. Much fruit has
been dried and canned during the
week. Flowing for fall seedlings
has progress slowly as rule, owing
to the condition of the soil nearly
everywhere.

False Doctrine.

Anderson, Ind, September A.
Farmer James Shuman, living near
Lapel, was in the city to-day look
ing up legal points to see if he had
grounds for action against William
Jennings Bryan. Last fall Re was a
silver man. He heard Bryan in In
dianapolis and Anderson, and es-
pecially marked the warning to far
mers that if silver went down, as he
said it would if the Republicans
were elected, wheat would also 90
down. The day after election he
thought he had struck a good thing
when gold men, the Shettercys, of
Lapel, contracted for this years
wheat crop at 58c bushel. He was
called upon to deliver 500 bushels
the day Madison County dealers
paid 81. He is loser several hun
drens dollars, and thought he could
recover off Bryan. He was greatly
disappointed when he learned he
could not.

JUDGES CHARGE TO THE JURY

The following is a portion
of Judge Thomas ]. Flippin's
charge to the grand jury:
The Court called the atten-
ton ofthe grand jury to ca
ses falling under its inquis-
itorial powers, and especially
to subsection s of section
1912, of Milliken &V ertrees'
code, which reads as follows:
"Going about masked or dis
guised to the disturbance of
the public peace, or entering
upon the premises of another
in disguise, or assaulting am
other with deadly weapon in
Disguise" and in doing so
used the following language:
cit is an offence for a per-
son in disguise to go about
the county. The law rightly
assumes that whenever a per-
son conceals his identity by
Disgusting himself, his pur-
pose is to do mischief and
commit some infraction of
the law, and he is guilty of a
misdemeanor. Fin disguise
he enters upon the premises
of a citizen and commits an
assault, he is guilty of a fell
ony. The manifest purpose
of the statue was to prevent,
by severe punishment, the
commission of acts which
not only lead to a breach of
the peace, but which, if I'M
restrained, would lead to the
gravest crimes. The Court
is informed through your
county papers, as we'll as by |
the statements of some of
your leading citizens, that
recently, certain evil disposed
persons, under the pretense
of regulating the conduct of
citizens which they consider
wrong or immoral, have band
ed themselves together. and

other citizens, used threats to

Justifiable Stealing

81 heard the Judge, John r.
Grace, of the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky, set aside the verdict of a
Jury once under circumstances that
to my mind did him infinite credit, "
said Representative John S. Rhea,
of that State.
cit seems that a poor woman,
who was on the verge of starvation,
and who was the sole support of
four little children, went into a
neighbours smoke-house and pur-
Joined a piece of bacon. When the
finding of the jury was read, Judge
Grace, who at the time presided
over the Fourteenth judicial district,
rising to his feet, said in the most
emphatic tones:
'The court orders that the verdict
in this case be set aside, and | want
to declare mere that in all cases
where an unfortunate woman is on
trial for stealing food, taken to
keep h. offspring from Starvation, it
will require thirteen men to convict
her of the crime in this court. The
defendant is discharged from Gus
tody.'
"The announcement was greeted
with applause from the spectators,
and the general sentiment was that
Judge Grace had acted not only as
befitted a chivalrous man, but that
his ruling was right. Theft to keep
innocant babes from perishing of
hunger can scarcely be called a
crime. w ashington Post.

SILVER has reached its
highest point at Warrens-
burg, Mo. Upon the dome
of the courthouse i'll that
town is a statue of liberty,
whose hand holds a staff, sur
mounted until recently by a
ball OF golden color. Be-
tween two suns, this ball was
replaced last week by one of
silver plate. In making the
exchange, one of the men
engaged fell and was injur-
ed. In the fall, he lost sew
eral gold-filled teeth. When
the unfortunate man con-
suited his local dentist, his
ardor for silver was cooled.
He learned that the cost of
replacing his teeth would be
sixteen times more than the
money be had received for
his work. 1t is said that he
is now one of the strongest
sound money advocates in
Warrensburg.

Most of tho diseases that aillict

Flowers Without Fragrance

While the flowers OF California are
famous for brilliant coloring, il has
been remarked that flowers with fra.
GRANGE are remarkably rare among
them. On the other hand, it is said
that the fragrance that the flowers
should possess has been transferred TO
leaves and branches. II Is believed
that California can present q lager
list OF odor. bearing leaved plants in
proportion to the number OF species
known than any country in the world.
The peculiar odors OF stems and leaves
are credited by one OF the schools Of
modern biology with the duty OF pro.
tecting the plant from predacious
creatures. II is said that there is no
accounting for tastes, and among
such q vast variety of scented leaves
it might be that the tastes OF some
wild animals would be just suited to
some particular class, though objec-
tionable to others. But there seems

USuEALTHFUL FOOD.

Farmers do not seem to DO aware of
the double loss sustained through the
grinding of cobs by millers, says "A. p.
Steele, OF Pennsylvania. Corn il
taken TO the mill at tho ratio of seventy
pounds TO tho bushe. Fourteen
pounds are deducted for cobs and are
not paid for, but the miller grlnds
these with oat hulls, making No. 3
chop, which sells at 3l2 to $li per
ton, thus giving the miller clear
profit. This cheap chop is uuheaithful
and its sale should not be allowed. A
friend OF mine recently lost two shoats
and was unable to assign cause. He
called veterinary surgeon, who found
that death had resulted from cloggiEg
of the intestines with this cheap chop.
The man had paid 81 for half ton of
chop and had lost $50 from its use.

MIXING MASUREs WITH MUCK.

Muck, by which in this country ia
generally meant vegetable mold, is too
poor in fertility to warrant carrying
far or much handling. As for mixing
it with stable manures, we would not
advise such practice, as the manure
without the muck is none too efficient.
There is one partial exception to this
rule. When heap of manure is fer.
menting it saves the waste OF am-
monia to throw over the pie small
quantity of vegetable mould, and this
when the heap is turned must be
MIXED with the stable manure.
