BRYAN'S FAILURE.

1t is now generally conceded that as
a lecturer VIM. j. Bryan has proved a
fiat failure. Not possibly because he
is not smart enough to prepare good
lecture, but rather because he seems
to have taken mistaken view of the
situation. In the first place he has
greatly Over-rated his worth, and
charged prices that the best lecturers
upon the platform have not felt them
selves capable of commanding. In
the second place he has not given
that preparation to his lecture that
such price demands. A lecture which
commands high price and the wide
attention of the people, is the product
of years of thought; that which Mr..
Bryan attempted to put forth was the
work only of days. He seemed to
labor under the idea that because
great crowds, largely through
curiosity, focked to see him
through the campaign. that rehash
of his political theories, stripped of
some of their partisan characteristics,
would take the people by storm. His
failure in this respect is best told in
letter in the Atlanta Journal by Mrs.
w. H. FELTON,, a brilliant and cultured
southern lady. She says: "Mr. Bryan
had brilliant reputation as cam
paign orator, but he is fiat failure as
a political lecturer. Public opinion
never RECEIVERS from such a shock as
Mr.. Bryan inflicted upon that ardent
Atlanta congregation of free silver
devotees. The poor soul doubtless
did the best he could-but the best
can only be set down, in truth, as a
sorry meal. 1t had been proclaimed
from the house tops all over the union
that the great silver leader was to call
the clans together in Atlanta and
start for the battlefields of 1900, with
banners flying and the army in
marshalled array; but the whole thing
took a twist, because the leader for
got his password, and the hosts are
now bewildered. 1t was like a great
street parade of musicians and gilded
eQuipageS 10 herald in two by four
little one act play, tnat nobody could
decide was either tragedy or comedy.
What a mistake it was! And impoS-
sible to rem Ady! DtthrOnement is
when great reputation for
oratory is pricked into collapse by the
speaker himself

board of corrections and charities,
who is recognized as an authority on
these matters all over the country,
was opposed to the adoption of the
amendment, contending that the
parole system offered the governor
all protection necessary, and the
prisoners all the privileges they could
reasonably ask. In his opinion the
new law, rendered necessary by the
amendment, should be as simple as
possible, leaving the matter chiefly to
the members Of the board, who were
men entirely competent to handle it.
Furthermore, he favors provision
that no pardons shall be granted to
prisoners eligible to parole, except
where their innocence of the crime
for which they were sent up has been
proven. The state board of correc-
tions and charities has decided upon
no recommendations with regard to
legislation. governing the pardon
board, but the governor will probably
touch upon the matter in his message
to the legislature"

S. H. HARRISON.

S. FL HARRISON, Esq, Austin MINI.
Dear Sir: In answer to yours of the
21st, would say that the Dayton system
OF producing hedge fences is, with US,
no longer an experiment.
Our company was organized in the
spring of 1895. We had at that time
the testimonial of delegation of gen.
tlemen of high character, residing in
this county, who visited the eastern
states and Canada, and made a very
thorough investigation of the Dayton
system of growing and completing
hedge fences, and also examined into
the character and the method of doing
business by the men connected with
this enterprise; all of which were salts
factory to this company. Notwith-
standing the testimonials this company
decided to put out a few hundred plants
and experiment on its own account, be-
fore launching out extensively.
AS result we have two seasons
growth of plants, receiving very little
care, which are fully five feet in height.
In fact it has in every particular exceed
ed our expectations. If the coming sea-
son will proportionate with the last two
it will in the spring of 1898 have at
tanned sufficient strength to be FLASHED
and wired. Four miles west of this
town we FLASHED and wired one hun
dred rods of honey locust fence owned
by John H. Lindmier. I will say of
Mr.. Lindmier that he is practical and
successful farmer, owning $50 acres
OF first class farming land, a German
by birth, and very cautious in all his
dealings with men, and a man who will
not lend his name to any speculative
enterprise
We have letter from Mr.. Lindmier
on the subject of his fence since it was
FLASHED, of which I herewith enclose
you copy, believing that it is entitled
to more weight on that subject than
anything could say, further than stat
ing that our company is we'll pleased
with the result of our experiment with
this fence, and have full confidence in
the enterprise, and it is our intention to
have several miles of honey locust hedge
growing in this county within the
next year.
l will be pleased at any time TO answer
further inquiries Yours truly,
M. E. JORDAN,

Upton, Iowa, Dec. "a. 1896.


Mr. S. HI. Harrison, Austin, MINI.
Dear Sir: Your favor of 21st inst,
received and contents noted asking me
what l know and have seen with refer
ence to the hedge and wire fence. Dur
ing the winter of '95, company of
eight or ten other gentlemen, took a
trip East with view of investigating
the fence stopping at Stratford, Canada,
we found some excellent fences, the
plant used was the honey locust, they
were very hardy, and stand the climate
very well. We next stopped at Niagara
Falls. there we were shown the honey
locust and the common Usage, in both
cases they were excellent fences, and
the farmers were we'll pleased with
them. At Day ton, Ohio, around the
cemetery, they have perfect fence
We have a number of mi&es planted
in our own county, planted in the spring
of '95, that season was extremely dry,
the plants stood the drought very well;
this season they made growth of
about three feet; we planted nothing
but honey locust, I consider it far bet
ter and more hardy than the Usage, for
the northern climate In short believe
there can be no better fence I saw one
fence that had been planted fourteen
years and no signs of sprouting from
the roots. Yours truly,
J. II. COULT.

SENATOR c. K. DAVIS, of this state,
in speaking of hard times, says the
people nowadays do not know any
thing about them, and refers to the
situation in 1851. OF it he says:
"Money was not only scarce then, but
there was no money in circulation
none to be had anywhere. Along the
Chippewa, Black, Mississippi and
other rivers sawlogs were legal tender.
In fact, everything that possessed any
sort of value passed as token money.
Up in northern Wisconsin copper was
mined, and copper cents were minted
and issued by private individuals.
The general storekeepers issued their
own script. and it passed for money. l
have seen Decent postage stamp, in
cased in mica, passing for money many
time We had every kind of token
money except wampum. We didn't
get quite that far back to the print
tive method and medium Of ex-
change"

more put on the appearance of hedge
fence since which time no one could
have believed that such a transforms
ton could have taken place.
The Dayton system of producing hedge
fences has completely disposed of the
objections so commonly raised against
the hedge fence, such as sapping the
ground for one or two rods on each side,
preventing blowing or growing crops
within five or ten feet of the fence, and
lastly, everlasting job of trimming the
hedge.
can pillow and raise crops of any kind
as close to my hedge as ever could to a
board fence, and as for the labor of
trimming since my fence was FLASHED,
the boys call it taking rest, if relieved
from other work on the farm.
The cost of keeping one mile of hedge
fence under the Dayton system is hardly
worthy of mention.
AS to winter killing in this climate,
my fence is complete answer to that
question. put out one hundred rods
of the plants myself twenty years ago;
not more than one dozen dead trunks
can be found in the one hundred rods,
and as they are distributed in the entire
length and no detriment to the fence,
as the live ones grow out, they COM
pletely cover up the space occupied by
the dead stock,
The first cost to farmer, of a hedge
grown by this plan, which l consider,
practically speaking, is the only cost,
ought not to be taken into considera-
ton as | believe, with reasonable care
it will last for generations to come.
1t is certainly ornamental and gives
the farm a cheerful and homelike ap-
pearance.
am so well pleased with my fence
since it was FLASHED ] have decided tc
plant one hundred rods more next
spring. 1 cheerfully recommend the
Dayton plan of growing and producing
hedge fences. but would advise the
honey locust plant, as l believe it bet
ter adapted to this climate than the
Usage.
My fence is honey locust and has
stood the test for twenty years without
any sign of decay.
Yours truly,
j. III. LINDMIER.

IF half that the Popocrats say about
Hark Hanna is true, he must be a
very busy man. They credit him as
interesting himself with nearly every
senatorial election in the country, and
at the same time claims that he is en-
gagged in shaping the policy of the
Mckinley administration while the
major looks on. Mr.. Hanna would
doubtless be surprised to know that
he is such generally engaged man as
his opponents credit him with being. :,
