THE WESTERN FARMER.

Cat tn, Trlnsmi si si1Ti Eyposi iona
b aIty t, at lies in the ever increasing r
fccton of its fitness for the conditions that
have to be met-one is really paying n
tribute to the brains, energy and character
of the western farmer. l have been on
the Hungarian plains and witnessed the
costly attempts of a progressive govern
mcnt to teach the land owners and peasants
the use OF improved farm machinery i'm
ported from America or else adapted from
American types. And l have also observed
what is confessed by the government and
| noted by all who visit those regions-the
persistent fact of scores of men, women
and children in the corn fields with old
| fashioned hoes, while long rows of white
! tunicked men. in the hay field or the ripe
| grain, are swinging s!ckles and short
| scythes. And a little later In the season 1t
| is common enough to see the oxen treading
out the grain, or to hear the thud of the
descending fail Meanwhile the new-fash-
| oned corn plows are rusting; the rejected
| moving and reaping machines rot in their
| neglected corners. and the threshing ma
| chine is viewed askance as an ill-o omened
| monstrosity.
1t is all simply difference in men. 1t is
| a great race that has peopled our prairies
and plains and that is producing corn, wheat
| and oats by the thousands of millions of
! bushels where only a few years ago there
was the ancient matted sod of the prairi2s,
| unbroken for centuries. The men who drive
the gang-plow, ride the sulky cultivator,
| manipulate the twine binder and send mil
| lions of horned cattle, hogs and sheep to the
| packing establishments OF Omaha Kansas
| City and Chicago are to be credited with a
| series of achievements worthy not merely of
respect, but even of Ell thusiasm. l cannot for
a moment doubt the ability of such men to
rear a fine and varied fabric of civllizat on
| upon SO great a. material foundation.

The action of the Connecticut demo
cratic state convention wus a distinct
victory for the sound money element Of
the party. The financial plank Of the
platform declares that "thc democracy
of Connecticut is now, as 1t has ever
been, In favor of bimetallism as enun-
ciated by Jefferson, affording, as it does,
the most stable standard of value, and
we declare ourselves unalterably OPP
posed to monometallism of any kind"
Referring to this the New York Times
observes that the free coinage of silver
as the experience of the world teaches
and everybody knows, leads promptly
to silver monometallism This the demo
Gratis of Connecticut are unalterably OPP
posed to and therefore they have no
sympathy with the free silver, 16 to l
element of the democracy. They are
somewhat astray, however, in regard
to jefferson. That great statesman was
not bimetullist according to the pres
ent-day idea. On the contrary he recog-
nized gold as the standard. 1t was
Thomas Jefferson who said that "the
proportion between the values of gold
and silver is mercantile problem alto
gether," while as to fixing a ratio he
| declared thut "just principles will lead
us to disregard the legal proportion al
| together, to inquire into the market
price of gold in the several Countries
with which we shall principally be con-
nected in commerce and ITO take an
average from them" Thus Jefferson
recognized gold as the standard of
value. Consequently it is not correct to
call him bimetallist, as that term is
now understood.
| None the less the position of the Con
nectlcut democrats is significant and i'm
portant as showing n trend in the right
direction. And they are not alone. The
democrats of Pennsylvania, Delaware
and practically New Hampshire lave
taken the same position. There is every
indication that those of New York will
follow the example. In The event Of
the Empire state, whose democratic
convention will be held th,s week, ignor-
| lllS tlt
highly probable, that fact will exert a
great influence upon the party in other
states and will count very strongly on
the side of sound money. 1t is reassur-
ing to find that in some of the sta ties
the democrats have learned something
since 1896. There is promise in it that
the party will ultimately renounce al
the fallacies and delusions of Bryan

Tells what He Thinks the United
States Will DO In the Future.
Truth


was reading an article the other day
commenting on our future relations with
the United States. The writer opined that
the two countries are destined hencefor-
ward to act together because experience
has shown that common interests furnish
the strongest bonds between nations" They
do; but it does not follow that we and the
United States have identical interests. We
are free traders, the Americans are pro-
tectionists; the United States is terri
torially compact; our empire sprawls over
the entire globe. We rule over millions
on millions of subjects to whom we do
not grant rights of self-government The
United States has up to now escheWed
this mode Of ruling and whether 1t will
change it's policy in this matter is doubt
full In respect to China, the United States
is hardly likely to seek to secure sphere
of influence there. Her aim will be to
trade with the Chinese by way Of the Pa
cific. She will, therefore, be in favor OF
the open door. But as regards China
proper, have never yet seen any sign that
any nation has an intention to close
1t to others and, provided that the COM
mercial door remains open, the United States
cannot care one brass farthing whether we,
Russia, France or Germany enjoy the great
est political influence at PelSin. 1t is doubt
full whether railroads in China will pay. Far
therefore, from joining in the quarrel abou.
who is to build them there, she will leave
others to do this. and then use them.
No man is stronger advocate of our keep
ing on the best terms with the United States
than I am. But this union Of hearts which
has been advocated by our newspapers is
| mere sentimental trash, entirely outside the
area of practical politics. To what does 1t
amount? We find ourselves old-shoulderad
by the great continental powers of Europe
and we are terribly affrighted lest our com
| mercal supremacy in the far east should
suffer, for they are all competing with us
there, and Russia has secured to herself
land route to China. We, therefore, have
been for the last two or three months sug
gesting to the Americans that, as they are
our kith and kin, they ought to join with us
in some sort of alliance. A country is ac-
tuated by it's own interests alone and a more
thoroughly practical nation than the Amer
leans does not exist on the globe. Even sup
posing that they were to retain the Philip
pines, they would do their best to remain
friends with all other nations, and the par
ticular ally of none, for the plain and simple
reason that this is to their interest
The advantage of prophecy in regard to
| future events is that the prophecy is forgot

l therefore hazard this prophecy: The
United States will, now that it has cleared

very long fall back on the idea that the
| whole of the North American continent and
| all the West Indian islands should be inde-
| pendent OF all connection with Europe.

Missouri mt the Exposition.

Missouri ought to have day at the Omaha
show, and 1t ought to give the exposition
a rousing boom. AS the queen of the trans
mississippi states, it owes it to itself to
manifest a substantial and hearty interest
in an undertaking which has resulted in
such an admirable display of the resources
of this section. If Missouri had such a
state building at Omaha as 1t had at the
Worlds fair its people would be justified
in staying away, but 1t has not been hu-
inflated this time by any architectural
caricature, and it will not see anything but

United States every man charged with
crime is entitled to trial by a jury OF
his peers. In the Broatch- Moores case
the verdict was rendered by one man,
and that man consorting during the en-
tire progress of his inquisition with the
personal and political enemies of
Moores. Had jury trial been ordered
the prosecution would have been
dropped at once. 1t would have been
dropped also had the referee been n man

proachable to outside influences, like

The Herdman gang is jublant over
the decision of the supreme court by
which William j. Broatch has been de-

made more votes for the popocrats than
free silver and the howl over alleged

The action OF the Connecticut democratic

Judge Sullivan was vaccinated with
home rule principles in the cradle and
believes in home rule as religiously as
he does in the bible. But when the
issue of home rule was presented in the
supreme court from the republican side
he abjured his lifelong convictions and
ruled in opposition to the principle OF
home rule in order to sustain a popo-
cratic police commission. In the attack
on the republican mayor of Omaha it
was natural for Judge Sullivan to side
with Broatch, but why he should be
joined by Judge Harrison is neXplicable
in view of the notorious fact that from
start to finish the attack on Mayor
Moores was engineered from popocrat tic
headquarters, supported by the popo-
cratic organ and the faction of the re.
publican party that has been identified
with the Herdman gang of political
hold-ups. Imagine the conditions re,
versed, would Sullivan or any Other
popocratic judge join the republicans in
making capital against the popocra tic
party, especially in the midst of a mo
mentous campaign?

MILITARY OR CIVIL AUTHORITY


The paramount question confronting
the French people is whether military
or civil authority shall prevail and it is
a question that must be speedily deter
mined. The course pursued by General
Zurlinden, military governor of Paris
in the case of Colonel Picquart, was in
utter disregard if not defiance of the
civil authority and if his action, re-
garded by some as distinctly t'pasOn-
able, is allowed to stand, the next step
on the part of the military power may
be to place the nation under dictator
ship controlled by the army, thus bring
ing to II close the tnird republic and
inviting revolution.
1t is announced that the cabinet will
decide today on the proposed revision
of the Dreyfus case, but 1t is highly
probable that some excuse will be found

be absent and thus furnish a plausible
reason for postponins action. But this
sort of thing cannot be long continued.
| The strain has become 50 great that the
ministry will be compelled to soon act
| or relinqush power. The premier, Nj.
| Brisson, has already incurred general
| displeasure and lie cannot much longer
withstand the demand for decisive ac
| tion. 1t would be most unfortunate
thing for France if the civil authority
| should surrender to the military.

If years give wisdom for he is 81 past.

claims is a relative, came to change his
name from Tuhey to Dewey the old man
said: "All my children call themselves
Dewey and spell their name in the same
way as the admiral does. / suppose they
want TO make their names sound more
American. But the commodore never went
back on anything Irish but the spelling Of
