Duplicity VIII Not Work.

This remark made by Governor ALrGELD
TO = Sun reporter yesterday contains sound
political advice for the genuine Democracy,
no less than for the spurious and Bryan
lied Democracy:
"There should be no trimming on tho part of
Democrats. There has been too much OF that in the
past. I believe in coming straight out and stating
the position on which one proposes to stand po-
lidcaliy."
The Bryanite Democracy generally are pro.
eeeding In accordance with this advice. They
are yielding nowhere, but in all Democratic
conventions, as they occur, are boldly and
emphatically renewing their allegiance to
the Chicago platform. So far, there is no
break In that line. They secured control of
the organization of the Democratic party
at Chicago, and they are determined to hold
on to It. Instead of loosening, they are
tightening their grip.
They are making no concessions so far
~ concerns the political heresies they
adopted at Chicago. The furthest they will
go is In Offering to receive back the revolt
Ing Democrats of last year, on condition
that these now assist them to carry the cleo.

party. with reference TO the further con-
1rmation of their authority In the elections
of 1898 and 1900,
It IL true that the Tammsny Hall organi-
ration Ii making . tricky midsummer effort
to evade the necessity Of square dealing
with tho people touching Organism and
the Chicago platform, which Governor ALT
GELD points out. Some Of the leaders of that
organization imagine that they can play q
double game with reference to Organism,
by which they can retain the $4,000 OF
their Bryanite supporters Of last year and
add to the number the genuine Demo
Gratis they drove out last year by their
support Of the Chicago platform. Both
of these ends they deceive Themselves
into supposing that they can accomplish by
the simple and childish device Of saying
nothing about that platform, with the mo-
tion that their Bryanite following of last
year will remember to Tammany's credit In
1897 it's revolutionary campaign Of 1895,
and true Democrats will forget for Its I'D
vantage that long. bitter, and dangerous
assault on property and civilization.
Such q game Of duplicity. as Governor
ALTaRLD Theoretically declares. would
never work, but would tend to dissipate
the strength Of Tammany and reduce to life,
l~essness its evasive and cowardly am.
paign. Instead of looming straight out
and stating the position on which ID pro
poses to stand politically" the TammanJ
proposition is to dance on two stools.
A moro impossible scheme was mover sus>
gested by tricky politicians. It Is In def.
ance of all the lessons Of political experience,
Tammany cannot satisfy the genuine Dem
ocrats without outraging and exasperatinG
the Bryan Democrats. 1t must represent
the one or the other; It cannot represent
both. 1t must reaffirm Its Organism of last
year or reject and repudiate 1t squarely and
Enthusiastically. 1t must 80 clearly
the side on which 1t stands that all the peo
pie will know exactly where 1t Is, ant
there will be no opportunity for charg

thus forcing it into o contemplate de

such a declaration from Tammany, NOR
especially the Bryan Democratic, In whom
last year 1t stirred q genuinely fanatl
cal fire by the character Of Its campaign
1t can only save itself from destruction b.
that flaming zeal II 1t directly and fiatl,
repudiates Organism and arouses the fire o
the true Democracy. of which 1t has beel
the representative during its long career.
No, no; a game of duplicity may do Il
play with in midsummer, but it would no
work in actual practice whom 1t was relic
upon to humbug tho voters in November
Square dealing Is the first requisite G
politics. If, too, it is necessary for tn
Bryan Democrats, it Is oven moro necessar
for the Democrats of truth. They canno

Ono brother sleeps fur Roth.


DARNEII- Neb., July 1.-Physicians arc puz-
Cling over the strange illness OF Abe and Adrien
Meyer, two sons of u KeyA Paha county farmer.
1t is thought that both lads are suffering from
some form Of nervous complaint. 1t manifests
itself, however,, very differently In their respec-
two cases.
Abe is 10 years old. For four months he has
been unable TO sleep more than four hours in n
night. His health has suffered little, but he Is
very irritable, and, in the opinion Of the doctors,
he cannot long stand tho strain without losing
his mind. There was no prcmonition of HIS
dency toward insomnia.
Adrien is only IL years old. For q long time
he required moro sleep than does the average
boy OF his ago. and a few months ago he began
spending sixteen or eighteen hours out OF the
twenty four In bed. Now no remains there alto
gether. For the last three months he has not
opened his eyes more than a half-dozen times.
On these occasions he evidently only partially
awoke. spoke in n drowsy tone. and within nj
teen minutes lapsed again into unconsciousness
His food 10 forced into his mouth in a liquid
iBfy him.

PROSPERITY continues to haunt the
farmer despite the fact that he refused
last year to vote for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver. Brsdstreet's
Review, an extremely conservative
aud reliable financial journal, in its last
issue shows that there was an advance
in prices of corn, oats, rye, hay, pota-
toes, wheat, beans, cotton-seed oil,
hemp, beeves, bacon, lard, rice, eggs,
mutton, cotton, tobacco, wool, and
other articles OF farm production dur
ing the month of July. Commenting
upon this fact, it says: ''This is evil
dence oil. a healthful ground swell of
demand for the staple products, and
emphasizes the radical improvement in
the situation of the American agricul-
turist, who has had no such Opportuni-
ty to reap a large share of the rewards
of labor for years as is DOW promised
him. The farmer was first to feel the
upward tendsncy."

About Cattle Feeding.

1t is getting common, now that the
cattle bushes is flOurishing, to hear
and read arguments and advice to the
effect that our stockmen should not
only raise, but also fatten and prepare
for market their own steers, instead of
letting the Kansas or Montana man per-
form the latter part and reap some of
the profits. Like most everything else
there are two sides to this question,
and while the Journal has repeatedly
advocated and expects to do so again
home feeding to certain extent, it
does not go to the length of those who
seem to be satisfied with nothing less
than total subversion of present con-
ditions. The argument used in the
sections where corn is not raised, milo
maize and kaffir corr can be substitute
ed, ground, and fed with sorghum and
other rOughness. The Journal wants
to see stockfarmers especially try this
plan; they have the teams and fields
aud can with a little bunch of cattle
easily feed one or more carloads, espec-
tally where cotton seed meal is
obtainable. But on the large
ranches from whence is obtained the
biggest portion of Texas steers, and
which are located outside of the agri-
cultural belt, grain fattening for mar
ket is not practicable without total
subversion of all existing conditions,
and even then it is questionable if,
with them, it would be profitable. The
large ranch owners have ample means

NOTWITHSTANDING the oft repeated
illusions to Topolobampo on the Gulf
of California as an eligible or desirable
terminus for railroad from this side
of the Sierra Madre, it is not likely
that any railway from Ell Paso or Chi
huahua to the Pacific will ever reach
that place, except by branch or spur.
Topolobsmpo is not seaport proper,
but gulf port, and is not in line for
direct trade with the orient, as vessels
from China and japan .to that place
would have to round Cape San Lucas
and steam some distance up the gulf
to reach the unsafe roadstead of Topo-
lobampo. A few more applications of
coal to her furnaces would send the
same vessel up to sGuaymss, which is
already connected by rail with the
whole standard guage railroad system
OF the United States. AS the Mexican
government has already arranged to
expend from SlS 200, COO to $4,000, 600
on the improvement of the harbor of
Mazatlan, directly on the Pacific, and
to make q safe harbor there, that
place will naturally become the great
center for such oriental trade and trav-
ell as may strike south Of San Francis
CO, and any railway going from this
side of the mother range will be COM
PEELED to tap Mazatlan in order to
avail itself of the benefit of the enor-
nous quantity of through traffic likely
to pass that way. Besides, south of the
Fuerte river the local traffic of rail-
road would be much more than twice
that to be had by following down that
stream TO Topolobampo.

and facilities for trial, and doubtless
would have experimental long ago If
they thought it worth while. Another
point the total home-feed advocates
seem to have overlooked is that cattle
feeders sometimes lose heavily, and
many contend that year in and year
out the average cattle feeder loses
money. The arguments for home feed
ing seem predicated on the theory
that it is an invariably winning game
which is not the case. Fattening cattle
on cotton seed meal and hulls with
corn and sorghum mixed in will be
practlced more and more every year
in Texas, as will also feeding on milo
maize and kindred grain. We hope
and look for advancement among our
people in this direction, but never ex-
pect to see the total subversion of con-
ditions that seem to be expected by
some.-Stock Journal.

The Petrided Forest.

Arson h. Smith, editor of the Mo-
have County Miner. has recently been
on trip to the great Petrlhed Forest,
and has the following to say about the
great natural wonder:
Last Sunday the editor ial force of the
Miner visited, for the first time, the
petr flied forest of Arizona. TIE jour-
ton on the Santa Fe Pacific road, in
Apache county, from which point
conveyance carried the party to the
''fOrest,'' six miles south. The for
nation Of the country, seemingly, Is
sedimentary, and at one time covered
by an inland sea. Erosion has uncOv-
cred a vast forest OF trees that had
been covered deep in sediment. The
trees in every case are completely
silcified. An erosion took place and the
broken trunks of the trees were depO-
sited on the low lands, a bewildering
tangle of brilliant rainbow cOlors in
stone. In one place an immense tree
lies across canyon, each end embed
ded in a sedimentary formation, form
ing a natural bridge. What caused
this great phenomenon will be specul-
ated upon for years to come by the
wise men of science, and when it has
been exploited it will still remain q
marvel to the geologist. In every
case the natural wood OF the trees
seem to have been preserved in stone.
The cedars and pines can easily be dis
tinguished by the coorings. Pine trees
in which decomposition had taken
place prior to petrefaction are OF
notably white color and much softer in
texture. The class of petrefaction
would make excellent homes for cutter
and barber's use. To one who has
never seen anything of the kind visit
to the forest will amply repay for all
trouble and expense. 1t only costs
two dollars and fifty cents to go from
the railroad station to the forest and
return. Good accommodations can be
had at the ranch of Adam Hanna, who
with his good wife make trip to the
forest one of unalloyed plessure.-St.

A Sausage Factory Suppressed.

The old joke about making sausage
out of dogs is not viewed in the lighter
vein in these parts-especially in
Guaymas.
The other day some one reported to
the chief of police that some ''pelones'
were living in a cave near Batuecas,
about mile from town. The official
went over to see what they were doing.
On arriving near the mouth of the cave
he saw the ground strewd with the
dogs heads, tails etc. Rushing up to
the cave he found four fellows hard at
WORK cutting up and preparing dog
meat for sausage, and near by large
basket full of the product ready for
sale around the town. He immediatelv
took them in and they are now in
''durancevile. For sometime peopl o
had been complaining of the sausages
being awfully tough, and lot of dog
were missing. The police counted
forty heads at the cave. Some have
ventured the opinion that the tough
ness'' was caused by sundry and
various old tom cats interpolated to
give it the proper staying qualities.
Sausage in this town is "taboOed'
and any legitimate sausage maker can
close his establishment until further
orders.-Oasis.

Future battle-ground of theNatiOns.

Considering the American states as
members of the European family, as
they are by traditions, institutions,
and languages, it is in the Pacific,
where the westward course of empire
again meets the east, that their rela-
tion to the future of the world become
most apparent. The Atlantic, border
ed on either shore by the European
family in the strongest and most ad-
vanced type of its political develop
ment, no longer sewers, but binds to-
gether, by all the facilities and album
dance of water communications, the
once divided children of the same
mother: the inheritors of Greece and
Rome, and of the Teutonic conquerOrs
of the latter, A limited express or a
hying'freight may carry few passen-
gers or small bulk overland from the
Atlantic to the Pacific more rapidly
than the modern steamers can cross the
former ocean, but for the vast amounts
in numbers or in quantity which are
required for the full fruition of COM
munication, it is the land that divides
and not the sea. On the Pacific coast,
severed from their brethren by desert
and mountain range, are found the
outposts, the exposed pioneers of Euro
pean civilization, whom it is one of the
first duties of the European family to
bind more closely to the main body,
aud to protect by due foresight over
the approaches to them on either side.
