NEEDS SCIENTIFIC CULTURE
Thrifty Scots Say Colorado Land

John Scott and w S. Ferguson
are two Scotch farmers who ar
rived at the Oxford hot4l last night,
says the Denver News That is,
they call themselves farmers when
they are in their "aine countree," !"
because the people over there are
not apt to make any mistakes. On
this side of the water, however,
they are 'agiiculturists." Scott is
from Eastertyre and Ferguson
from Perth. The two have trav-
eled from New York around to the
west by the way of Montreal, Man
itoba and Vancouver, and now
they are on their way back, hav-
ing arrived in Denver from San
Francisco. They are making a
study of American agricultural in
terests with scientific eyes. Both
visitors are men of education.
81 am convinced of one thing"
said Mr.. Ferguson, land that is
that it would be eminently wise for
some of our farmers to emigrate to
your country. We have too many
farmers and tro little land. You
have jolly big lot of land over
here, but too few farmers. Your
land, furthermore, is poorly
groomed, and needs more scientific
culture"

A Kentuckian who is visiting the city
tells this story Of the impression made
by the boy orator in Louisville:
louisville, as you know, is n of
the greatest tanning centers in the
world" he said. The day after Will
lam Jennings Bryan was in Louisville
I was riding III a street car, when a
passenger boarded the car and sat
down next to me. He had the solid,
robust look aud dress of u cross be-
tween a German-American mQnufac-
turer and n lanyard laborcr. The smell
of the lanyard was all over aud about
him. he spied an old friend sitting
just opposite him in the car.
"'Did you hear Bryant asked the
friend.
"I did, said the tanner.
"'NNhat do you think Of hing said
the friend.
"'Vel,' said the tanner, there Is
only one trubble NIT Brine; he amt
got some sense. He's good for shust
one ting: He would make q good drum

makes five or ten towns a day-been
doing it for several years without los
ing a day, and iss always full Of Wind.

Importance of the Ohio Campaign.
Nobody doubts that Ohio will be the
scene this year Of the first great politi-
cal battle in the Presidential campaign
of 1900. 1t Is conceded that the Nc
Kinley administration will be placed
on trial here, and the result in Ohio will
be regarded as an indication Of how
the greater battle next year will go.
The friends of President Mckinley
realized this when they asked that a
firm friend and loyal supporter of the
President be chosen as the Republican
candidate for Governor, and that
thought was appermost in the minds of
the delegates at Columbus when they
made up the splendid ticket which has
been presented to the people for their
Endorsement. That is why the cam
paign in Ohio promises to be one Of the
most memorable in the history of the

knowledge that the Republican party
Of Iowa has brought to the front a
great number Of strong and capable
e She has in Congress today at
least four e who are national fig
ures. Either Hepburn or Dolliver might
have aspired to the Speakership with
Henderson. and Of 1own's eleven Re
publican Congressman not one is a stick
or a hole-fller. In Senator Allen she
has a man who come day may grace
the Presidential chair. and in Senator
Gear she has another who ranks high
in the upper house Of Congress, while
taken as a whole her delegation is one
Of the strongest that ever came from

sessed of more latent and ~undeveloped
talent than any other of the Northern
and Western States. In every State

enough aud capacity enough to become
marked figures before the nation. But
in Iowa the Republican party has been
wise enough to draw upon it's best tai
ent, to encourage the development of
craftsmanship, and to reward abaildty
wherever found. Every of the
eleven Congressman from Iowa is
serving his second, third, fourth, fifth
or eve tenth term in Congress. By
keeping its strong men to the front the
Republican, party of that State has been
able to preserve a satisfied condition
within the ranks Of the party at home,
to the end that the State is always safe
for the Republican ticket. In brtef. the
Republican party of Iowa has been
wisely managed, and in this respect it
