The fiEh page ln last weeks Pro
gressive Farmer was SO full of good
articles that I da'e not trust myself to
judge which one was best, still think
that should you read each INT Of them
carefully you will decide with me that
they were all decidedly appropriate
and mere interesting than anything l
could have written.
Several very good subjects for dis
cussion are suggested By the various
articles. For instance, Loud Speak
ing, by the article, IAN Excellent
Thing In Woman" flirting, by that on
Filtration; {" plain speaking, by THE
Ideal Woman ;" marrying for beauty,
by Ruined" and friendship between
girls by the article with that name.
Read these articles aud let US hear
from you on the subjects suggested.
Miss Kornegay's letter, although a
business one causes US to believe that
we will reed meny interesting articles
! from her pen in this department on
other subjects. ALI women r inter

l have made a rockery in an uglycorner
in my yard and am hoping to be re

season, as I have own nasturtlum

pecially bare places, which I think adds
much to the picture, qIe effect.

have loved and lost than never to have

you believe there lives a person with

his pulse to beat faster and his eye 60
sparkle more brightly because Of the
existence of some one else7 There are
timid beings who have not the courage
to say they have loved, but how can

Peace writes a very readable letter

The subject discussed by Mrs. FIlly
aw this week is one in which all classel
are interested. In passing through {
section of city not long since, in

He seated himself at his desk and
began to write a letter; but he was IN
no frame OF mind for that. He tore eff
sheet after sheet, after he had written
atsw words upon them, and tnrew
them into the waste basket under his
desk. Finally, he laid down his pen,
and resting his elbows upon the desk.

the cracking of the Cfce door and
upon looking up, saw Ray Haz'enut
aud a stranger, a person whom he had
never seen before, standing just within
the door at the sight Of these two

instantly that there stood his sccus
ers. He regarded them inGently for o
moment and then motioned to them
to advance, which they did, and seated
thenselve in a couple Of chairs Opoo,
site his desk, without either ct ,h1m
having spoken.
Dr.. Raymond regarded them in 81
.auce for a moment, waiting for ,nen

r5gi5 silence, only glancing at eac1
other c~oBfusedly.
At last, DIR. Raymond requested
sbsir business, Ray Hazlenut looked q,
his companion, and his companion
looked at him; each changed bic posl
ton simultaneously, and each re,
mained silent. DIR. Raymond buried
his face in his hands and remained 81

BRYAN IN KENTUCKY

Is arousing the Democracy and the peo-
pie turn out en- masse, coming from near
and far, as far as 95 miles or over in We
hicles and on horseback.
Bryan's first day was Monday, start
ing from Cairo, Ill. During the day the
estimate is he told about $4,000 people In
the First, Second and Fifth congression-
al districts, to vote the whole Goebel
ticket and carry Kentucky, and so in
sure victory in the presidential contest
next year, and send Joe Blackburn back
to the Senate instead of Republican.
He made ten speeches during the day.
The people of Northern Kentucky
were delighted to. see and greet Bryan
and they made 1t manifest in various
ways. The cheers and influence helped
him to find his voice and lose his cough,
and the genial sun and the warm well
come were all inspiring At Mayfield
his crowd was considerably over 10000
men, women and children. At Louis
vile on Wednesday (today) will be a
large barbecue, when they expect to
feed 10000 people, that number of tin
cups having been purchased for the oc-
casion.

these strikes. He did not take the time
to explain that these srrikes were
against low wages or long hours Of
labor, or intolerable hardships, or at
tempts to destroy that fundamental
right of labor known as unionism.
HE did not tell them of the large
number of men who are yet looking for
work, or of the poor pay and mean
lives of millions of other workmen.
Or of the decisions detrimental to
labor that have been rendered by
federal courts in six or seven states
this year.
cor of the way he has used the, regu-
lar army in two cases to suppress strikes,
strengthen cormorant corporations and
earn shame for himself
"He did not tell what he has done to
augment the power and extend the rule
of that crooked plutocracy which is OBJ
tanning control of all the industries and
of our half wrecked republic.
Had he told of these things his speech
at Kewanee would have been worth
listening to-"

Volunteers returning from the Phil
ippines, being the last of the state regi-
ments, appear to hold much the same
views as those who arrived at San
Francisco six weeks ago. Continued
service has not modified their senti-
ments. Major Wessenburger, of the
First Washington volunteers, who ar
rived at San Francisco on Monday of
last week, after 10 months of hard cam
paigning, summarizes the Philippine
situation in these words:
The insurgent forces are better armed,
better provisioned and entrenched
today than when the rebellion broke out.
am sorry to have to admit it, but our
commanders have been outgeneraled by
the Filipino leaders The sort Of cam
paign which is being carried on in the
islands will never end the war
After detailing numerous evidences of
General Otiss incapacity for the work
before him, the major continues
The American people do not realize
the gravity of the Philippine situation.
The entire Thirteenth regiment of regu-
lar infantry dropped their arms, their
haversacks and their baggage and fled
like sheep before a midnight insurgent
attack. 1t was not the fault of the men,
When they have had training they will
be the equal of any men in the islands.
They were bundled aboard their trans
ports before they knew how to load their
guns. When the ship reached Manila
they disembarked at once, and without
any drilling were marched to the firing
line and ordered to make camp within
sight Of the enemy's lines. Their colonel
protested, explaining that his men were
but an undisciplined band, but the or
ders were not countermanded.
We have accomplished nothing after
years fighting in the Philippines.
The insurgents, led by Aguinaldo, a nat
ural fighter, have more than held their
own.

According to the "Financier" the
money stringency in New York con-
tinues. The decrease in deposits last
week was over six millions, caused by
demands of the interior banks. 1t
seems the arbitrary course of the New
York banks has led to this. This money
fabric is a very delicate and slippery
affair. The government may come to
the rescue, as it has before, by paying
interest and bonds in advance. The
government and the banks all over the
country have millions and millions in
their vaults, thus not helping business,
not doing any good. There may be no
demand, or the banks may decline the
risk

Candidate Jones, of Toledo, gives out
his platform as being the golden rule.
Mr.. Jones for years has been a Re-

ticket on the ballot will be Samuel M.
Jones-and nothing else. Suppose
Jones should be elected, what would he
do with the golden rule? How enforce
it? We have had such humbugs be-
fore, but they soon run their course and
left nothing behind.
The fact is there are but two sides
to a question or measure of public
policy. One must eit'-"r 'avor or op-

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator George
F. Hoar, president Of the Unitarian
Council in session here, today delivered
a remarkable opening, address. He
concluded as follows:
IT have no faith in fatalisn, in des-
tiny, in blind force, L belive in God,
the living God. believe in the Amer
lean people, a free and brave people,
who do not bow the neck or bend the
knee to any other, and who desire no
other to bow the neck or bend the kpea
to them.
II believe that the God who createdt
this world has ordained that His chill.
dren may work out their own salvation.
and that His nations may work out
their own salvation by obedience to-
His laws, without any dictation or CO..
ercion from any other. 1 believe that
liberty, good government free institu-
tions, cannot be given by any one peo-
pie to any other. but must be wrought
out for each by itself, slowly. painfully.
in the process of years or centuries, as
the oak adds ring to ring. believe
that a republic is greater than an en-
pire. 1 believe that the moral law and
the golden rule are for nations as we'll
as for individuals. / believe In George
Washington, not in Napoleon Bone
parte; in the Wings of the Revolution
ary day, not in the Tories; In Chatham,
Burke and Sam Adams, not in DR.. John
son or Lord North. I believe that the
North star. abiding in it's place, is a
greater influence in the universe than
any comet or meteor believe that the
United States, when William Mckinley
was inaugurated, was greater world
power than Rome In the height Of her
glory, or even England. with her. 4OO,-
100000 vassals believe whatever
clouds may darken the horizon, that the
world is growing better, that today is
better than yesterday, and tomorrow
VIII be better than today"

views on expansion brought forth tu-
lmultuous and prolonged applause.

Postmaster General Smith, heretofore
a Philadelphia editor, is one of the
cabinet orators with the president in
his stumping tour. He has been sure
to wave the flag when speaking for the
administration and lauding his master,
"the same flag it has always been"
Mr.. Smith has not yet told us, how
ever, when before the flag was carried
in war Of foreign conquest; or, when
before American troops were rallied to
shoot freedom into the people. These
gentlemen have discovered that they
cannot make the American people
acknowledge Sampson as the hero of
the naval victory at Santiago, that be-
longs to the gallant and generous Schley.
and Secretary of the Navy Long and the
cavalcade cannot change it. Don't for
get 1t. Another thing they should not
forget; Americans rather admire a
people who stand for liberty and inde-
pendence. The old national song had
it:
LET independence be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost"
