A Few Timely Pointers.

The up-to-date farmer has learned the
wisdom of doing his own thinking, and
in selecting a binder or mower to weigh
carefully the actual points of superiority
and to avoid mere talking or selling"
points. The life of machine depends
largely on its main frame, which should
be solid enough to outwear the working
parts and yet not heavy enough to tear
itself TO pieces through its own inertia.
The Deering Ideal Binder has a high
carbon steel frame, hotriveted at the
joints. This machine has stood the most
severe tests ever put on binder. 1t has
a cutting apparatus that will cut any crop
that grows: elevators that will elevate
anything it cuts; simple reel with great
er range of adjustment than any other,
operated with single lever; the famous
Deering Knotter and Binder which never
misses; the only bundle carrier worthy of
the name; and finally Deering Roller and
Ball Bearings, making it the lightest
draft binder that ever cut a swath.

M'KlNLEYS BuUNDER.

AS a politician President Mckinley
has always been ready to shift his po-
stion whenever such a change prom
ised the slightest advantage. This
characteristic has served the President
fairly well in his selfseeking career,
but has cost him the title of statesman
and won for him the place of politician.
But McKinley's latest political move
his attack on civil service-has certain
ly proved Il blunder, and Republican
editors have not been slow to point out
this fact. There is not Republican
newspaper of national Importance that
has heartily approved McKinley's act,
and many of them have roundly con
demned it.
In this connection it is significant
that the Chicago Tribune sees in Nc
Kinley's action profound political
blunder. Among other things, the
Tribune editorially says:
1t is a mistake to believe that the giving
of 10000 offices into the hands of the
bosses will help to strengthen the Repub-
ican party. The people are growing TO
care less and less about the political creeds
of the men they place in subordinate and
merely administrative offices. The time
for spoils politics in national affairs is for
ever past No such move has strengthened
the party that committed it since as far
back as 1872. The exemption order will
strengthen the politicians, but it will not
strengthen the party.
Why give this vicious and vitiating
power into the hands of political bosses
when there is no need of it? How can
the friends of the administration justify,
defend or apologize for this intolcrable or
der? The President has undone the good
work of years and has put a blanket mort
gage upon his political future and that of
his party. His action is grievous dis
appointment to the friends of good govern
ment.
Under the circumstances it is not
necessary for Democratic newspapers
TO worry much over the situation. The
attack on civil service is blunder of
monumental proportions. 1t opens the
way for assaults on Imperialism, as ii
shows the hand of the administration
and its intention to send carpet bag
gers to rob the people of the acquired
possessions. Imperialism, which might
not have been an issue had Mckinley
kept his platform pledges. promises to
loom up tremendously, and shrewd Re
publican politicians are trembling over
the prospect.

The Birycle I'm War

For several years our regular army
has experimental with the bicycle, and
the results have been satisfactory.
Mounted soldiers have eluded Observa-

within can bring about rain and hail,
wind, or thunderstorm at will; and
the illusion is so complete as to some
times make nervous members Of the
audience insensibly shudder.
Hail and rain are represented by
closed wooden cylinder about six feet
long, which is obstructed inside by va
rious cross pieces, quart Of peas com
pleting the arrangement. BY turning
this cylinder first one way up and then
the other the peas rattle through it
with close imitation to the sound Of
heavy rain on roof.
The wind arrangement consists of n
wheel about two feet in diameter, set
in frame like that of grindstOne.
This wheel is furnished with ribs on its
periphery somewhat like the floats of
a waterwheel, and drawn tightly over
the ribs is piece of thick silk. When
the wheel Is turned the ribs rub
against the silk. and by turning the
handle first quickly and then slowly,
a very good imitation of the soughing
of the wind is produced.
Lightning may easily be initiated by
using chemical or electrical means, and
the usual mode of producing thunder
Is by shaking a large sheet Of flexible
iron plate Some theaters have, how
ever, far more elaborate and effective
thunder arrangement, which is used as
an auxiliary to the sheet of iron when
Il storm is supposed to reach its height.
This consists of number of cannon
balls held in a trough and allowed to
fall at the right moment, and to run
over floor above the ceiling of the

the full value of their bond deposit and

Wildcat currency secured by the of
flee furniture of banks is not regarded
with favor by the committee, probably
because the people oppose it. 1t is ad-
mitted that there is a scarcity of small
bills, and that efforts to remedy this
matter are handicapped by the banks
for the purpose of forcing the wild

formers" 1t may be concluded, how
ever, that the Senate committee will go
just as far as it dare toward the estab-
fishing of the single gold standard and
the granting of special favOrs to the

Chonte's Uuwise Comparisou.

Ambassador Choate acted very un-
wisely in comparing Admiral Sampson
to Nelson. and our British brethren
have reason to feel resentful. Nelson
was a fighter who hunted up his man
and had it out with him at close quar-
ters. Sampson may have the fighting
mettle in him. but so far he has had no
opportunity to show it. Being an Amer
lean sailor. we of course believe that
he would give a good account of him
self if given chance. but we have no
right To assume that he is Nelson 5
equal until he has won his spurs.-

is best eNemplilied by making another
