KENTUCKY LEADS THE WAY.

no further than that.
When 1t came TO the adoption Of plat

1t was adopted unanimously and with great
enthusiasm. Further than this, the CON

perfect unanimity, Endorsed Mr.. Bryan

FIGHT THE BOIL wEEvIL.


Prof. Fred w. Mally. state entomologlst.
IS giving the State admirable service in
his fight against the cotton boil weeyil.
His letter, as published in yesterdays
Post, shows that his advice has been fol-
lowed by many farmers and that substan-
tial progress has been made toward the
determination Of the pest
Every wecvll infected county is expert
menting with the method OF picking up
aud burning the fallen squares. and Prof.
Mally stated that the effectiveness OF this
simple plan Is becoming more apparent
each day. He shows further that the
amount of labor thus involved Is not nearly
as great as many people imagine. while
the cost Is much less than the spraying
method, which 1T best does not exter-
inmate the weeyll. but merely holds them
in check temporarily.
Prof. Mally makes another good point
when he states that tho sooner the work
is done the easier it will be to prevent
the propagation of the weevll The posi-
bilities in this line, should the work be
neglected, is thus shown In his letter:
Suppose that on June there are two lozer
woeyils per acre In the cotton field Granting
that half OF these are males, lenyes us az
even dozen females for egg-laylng. Accord
ing to the estimates OF the government ex'
pert each of these females will average eighty
eggs. Hence Mt the end OF their egg-layinl
period by about July l. we will have $50 egg

True Communism.

To the Editor of The Post,
Alief, Texas, June 25.-In your Issue
OF the Semi Weekly Post of 10Th instant
notice an article entitled Socialism and
the Trusts" over the signature of one G.
G. Cummings of Fort Worth, in which ar
ticle said writer seems to confound COM
munism with agrarianism. Also l find
that Sam Jones and many other reputedly
intelligent writer's and journalists are
guilty Of the same stupid blunder either
through Ignorance or wilful perversity.
True communism does not divide profits
or anything else, but is unselfishness and
combines only. There is no more re-
semblance between communism and agrar-
ianlsm than the color of the blacklist
negro and white man.
When the ancient chosen people went off
into idolatry God made them to know
the service of the nations round about"
The natural effect of private property and
competition is to reduce everything to
slavery.
| l do not think that socialism as defined
| by Mr.. Cummings would do any good. 1t
would only result in centralized despot-
ism like We already have. and more So
The tariff remedy has been tried and
proved only a good thing for the rich.
Free silver would work much the same
way. 1t would be good for spectators,
particularly for cornerers of bins of silver
bullion. If it was one dollars advantage
to the poor man, II would be ten dollars
advantage TO the rich. Cropping off the
more odlous branches of Imperialism,
trusts, ETC., would amount to little.

ember 8. Inclusive.
San Antonio. Texas. June 27,--As Is gem
orally known, a fair is 20 be held in the
city of San Antonio this fall, the dates
having already been fixed for October %
to November s, inclusive. These dates do
not conflict with those of the Texas STATE
Fair TO be held at Dallas, that fair closing
on October %.
The management OF the San Antonio In
ternational Fair association has been very
liberal in the matter Of premiums. their
premium list footing up nearly Sld.o0u IN
cash The main idea the board OF direc-
tors and management Of the San Antonio
International Fair association have con-
stantly kept in view is that this is TO be,
as far as possible a live stock and agric'il-
tura fair, and out OF the Sl3,0 600 set aside
for premiums, $1,000 OF fhat amount Will
go to exhibitors OF live stock and farm
products, this amount being nearly one
half greater than has ever been given by
any other fair association In the State Tor
premiums in the line above mentioned
The association has already received the
catalogue and premium list from the hands
of the printer and will be glad 70 place a
copy of same in the hands of every stock
raiser and farmer in the Stale who might
be sufficiently interested to make an ex-
hibit at this. fair.
The association offers something like
$15, 900 in purses for runners and harness
horses The other attractions which the
management of the fair hope 10 secure
will be given to the press Tor publication
from time to time.

In another paragraph the platform con-

put forth splendid platform Of principles
one that VIII appeal to democrats the
whole country over as well as to those o
their own State. They talk like men, these
Kentucky democrats, and what .thep say
Is along the line of government by man
hood as against government by money. the
distinction which is fast settling down be-
tween the two great political parties. All
Tendencies OF the republican party are iu
the direction of class legislation, favorlt'
ism In the administration OF the laws
and the control OF both the National aud
State policies by concentrated wealth
Every tendency of the democratic party
today Is in opposition to these ends, and
the people will experience little difficulty
in understanding so broad an Issue.
