Atkinson Angcrcd.

Chicago Tribune: Edward Atkinson,
the antl-expansionIst, did not enjoy his
breakfast at the Palmer House prior to
his departure for Boston at the con-
clusIon Of the antl-expansion conven-
ton. Not because OF any lack in the
bill of fare, but because of an incident
at the table
Opposite Mr.. Atkinson were seated a
man and his wife, who did not know
him, nor did he know them. Mr.. AtRin
son had ordered his breakfast, when a
man approached and began talking with
the couple. He spoke in communication
OF the woman who arose in the meeting
at Central Music Hall and protested
against the dissertation Of the flag.
Mr. Atkinson believed the conVersn-
ton was Intended'as n rebuke for him.
He took issue with the man and the ar
gument became so heated that Mr.. At
kinson arose from the table In anger
All this time the trio were Ignorant Of
his Identity and wondered not a little
at his vehemence and asperity.
A few moments after the innocent
cause Of the alteration had left the
room Mr.. Atkinson returned and ex-
planned why he had spoken. He then
learned that none OF the three had
known who he was.

Independent View of NJ. Bryan's Re.
fusaI to Answer Interrogatories.
Chicago Evening Post: At Louisville
the independents who are supporting
John Young Brown for governor, sub
mItted to w. j. Bryan a neat little list
Of pertinent queries bearing on his at
titude toward the Kentucky split. They
could not be answered with platitudes,
and an honest and sincere answer
would have exposed Bryan's repudia-
ton Of all political morality in making
common cause with Goebetism. Eva
sion was the only course available, and
Bryan eagerly chose It.
He declined to give his opinion Of the
fraudulent Goebel election law. He re-
fused to say what he thought OF the
right Of a packed convention, ruled by
a despotic chairman with the aid OF
armed police, to make nominations Tor
the party whose will 1t subverted and
defied. He had not come, he declared.
to sit in judgment on any particular
convention or to analyze the details OF
any election law. He had come to ad-
yocnte Goebel's election, In other
words, notwithstanding the evidence Of
itude which thousands Of loyal party
Democrats. ardent supporters Of silver
and Organism, were ready and anxious
to present against Goebel as the sole
reason against the championship OF his
cause by their national leader.
But what excuse had Bryan to offer
for his refusal 70 consider GoebeFS
moral fitness to represent the Kentucky
Democrats? This excuse-and 1t is one
which must make fair-minded and In
telligent Democrats hang their heads in
shame: II come to say-and / say
with emphasIs-that II there was any
thing done in that convention that a
Democrat does not think ought to have
been done, ask Of that Democrat what
his remedy Is? Is 1t to elect a Republi-
can governor and Republican officials?
The man who tries to correct Demo-
cratic convention by electIng Repub-
lican governor assumes responsibility
for all that governor does after he has
been elected"
What doctrine in this day and gener-
alton! 1t Is Regularity run mad. 1t Is
doctrine Americans have repudiated
as immoral and unworthy Of their man.
hood In Pennsylvania Republicans
who cannot tolerate the continuance Of
Quay domination do not hesitate to Rd-
vocate the election Of Democratic can
dIdates. In Chicago last spring one OF
Mr. Bryan's friends and supporters was
reelected mayor by tens Of thousands
Of Republican votes. The growth Of po-
lItlcal independence, as everybody
knows, has been the most striking fea-
ture Of recent political progress. Yet
Bryan has so little respect for his own
reputation as to tell Kentucky Demo-
Gratis that they cannot bolt Goebellsm
because. forsooth, that would make
them responsible for the success Of a
Republican ticket!
Such amazing, reactIonnry, and stu
pid doctrines can only hurt those who
pretend to hold them.

It is violent presumption to expect
fairness from the Democratic party.
This has become more pronounced of
late years. The opposition papers in
Ohio are growing black and blue In the
face over circulars asking office holders
for contributions to campaign funds.
They do not know that anyone has con-
trlbuted. but they do know that the
postotiice department has had posted in
all postoffices notice to this effect:
IAN employees connected with this office
are hereby notified that they are under
no obligation whatever by reason OF
their being in the public service to
make contributions or subscriptions for
political OF other purposes. and that
they will not be molested or in any way
Disseminated against for failure to SO
subscribe or contribute" 1t is the
same with other features of the cam
paIgn that call for the commonest
honesty of treatment. But we don't
get 1t. We will not get it. So we are
not disappointed.

The Cavalry Horse.

The veteran cavalry horse par
takes If the hopes and fears of
battle Just the same AS his rider.
AS the column swings into line and
awaits the horse grows nervous over
the waiting. If the wait is spun
out. he will tremble and sweat and
grow apprehensive. If he has been
six months in the service, he knows
every bugle call. AS the call comes
to advance the rider can feel him
working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between his teeth, AS he
moves out he will either seek to get
on faster than he should or bolt.
He can not bolt, however. The
lines will carry him forward, and
after a minute he will grip, lay
back his ears, and one can feel his
sudden resolve TO brave the worst
and have done with it as soon a.
possible. A man seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil of battle
1t is the same with horse.-B,f-
falo Horse World.

Some of the small fruits that offer
inducements for growing them are
entirely neglected. When the mar
ket is we'll supplied with some
kinds it may be lacking in others
The currant and gooseberry are
examples. With carloads of straw
berries, black berries and raspberries
reaching the markets, currants and
gooseberries come in small lots, and
sell almost on sight. These fruits
may require little more care thar
some kinds, hut it is the labor that
gives the price, and the grower
should produce anything that pays

ton is given and the profit is large.
In this country the poultry depart
ment seems to be beyond the notice
of the farmer, the hens being, turn
ed over to the female members of
the family, but in France it is the
most important of all. Poultry as
a business demands too much labor,
especially in Winter, to expect
women to care for the fowls, and if
farmers will give more consideration
to poultry themselves they will find
larger profits in that direction than
from any other source in proportion
to capital invested.

Improving Cattle Herd.

Every farmer sometimes has a
good cow-one above the average
in his herd, and he does not fail to
notice her superiority. When such
is the case the COW should be a
standard by which to gauge all
others. The object should be to
have no COWS that do not equal the
best one. Sell off the inferior ones
as fast as calves from the superior
COW will replace them. Use pure
bred sires and do not attempt to
improve the herd by buying else
where.

The prices of all kinds of agri-
cultural implements and machinery
have advanced, which the farmers
do not appreciate, the advance be-
ing due to higher prices of iron and
steel. When it is considered that
the great demand for iron and steel
leads to the employment of larger
number of persons, and puts more
money in circulation, the farmer
also receives benefit in the higher
prices obtained for his products.
Farmers can better now afford to
pay more for implements than they
could three years ago, and 1t Is
better to have such conditions than
low prices and inability to procure
implements at all Maybel

FOR THE FARMER.


Use land plaster and kainit free
ly with the manure and there will
be less escape of ammonia from the
heap Plaster ahsorhs gases and is
of itself an excellent fertilizer. The
same may be said of kainit, which
contains both salt and potash, and,
in addition to serving as a chemi-
cal agent, it remains in the heap as
an ingredient in the plant food of
the manure. Used in the hills in
the Spring as starter for corn,
both plaster and kainit are excel
lent, but more so with manure.
Lime, when added to the manure
heap, causes the ammonia to escape
as it creates heat and hastens de-
composition, but such is not always
the case, as the coarseness of the
materials and the kind of absor-
bents used affects the loss of volatile
matter. When manure is kept
damp there will be less loss of am
monia because it is absorbed by
cold water, and some farmers use
small quantities of lime in order to
have the manure decompose sooner
than it otherwise would when the
materials are coarse. II the LIQUID
manure is added to the solids, how
ever, there will be no difficulty in
having the heap undergo decom-
position, and it is then that plaster
and kainit will prove of much bene-
fit IN avoiding loss of ammonia.
