The Clara G.. Macksy prize contest at
the opera house last evening was q credit
to both the contestants and the school
they represented. We question whether
the school has ever presented as mature
and able q body OF contestants as were
on the stage last digit. Their produc-
tions were thoughtful and we'll CON-
posed, and delivered with an ease and
vigor that was refreshing throughout.
There was not much to draw between
the merits Of the several speakers, and
the victories won were w~ell-earned.

Mr.. Hoy has shown sterling qualities as

poslts amounting to $21,000,00O. In the
dark days of the Cleveland failure and
the Bryan scare, the Nebraska bank
deposits amounted to only $1,000, 900.
They have doubled under a Republic
can administration. Bryan, if renom-
mated, will be pushed hard in Ne
braska. Though State pride is enlist
ed in behalf of second trial, the Re-
publican vote has grown since 1896.
The fusion plurality last year was only
2,7S1 for Governor, the Republicans
carrying the Legislature and gaining
Senator. Bryan has no certainty In
Nebraska in 1900 In fact, the chances
are the other way. Some of the West
ern States in his list before are sure to
go against him next year. One of these
is Washington. Bryan's anti-expan-
sion views alone settle that Washing
ton is for commercial development on
the Pacific. It's Republican plurality
last year was 8,023, quite change
from Bryan's 12.493 in 1896.
Kansas has parted company with the
silver party. It's Republican plurality
last year was 1880. Kansas and
Washington combined take fourteen
electoral votes from the Bryan column.
A change Of 1000 votes last fall would
have given Nebraska and South Da-
kota to the Republicans. The gains of
Republican Congressman in the trans
Mississippi States last November were
remarkable, and had the high distinc-
ton of saving the House. All of Ne
braka's neighboring States are AS pros
porous as itself, and can match its in
crease in deposits. Speaking in the
light of mathematical facts, Bryan's
prospects in the States west Of the
Mississippi have generally faded. Fig
ures of all kinds prove it. Nor can he
count on gains east of the Mississippi,
unless in Kentucky, in which the Dem
ocratic party at present is more seri-
ously divided than in 1896 The facts
in the case suggest a change in the
Democratic candidate. but even that
might cost more votes than it would

After beans have blossomed it is not
best to work among them, especially if
the weather and soil be wet and there
should be no cultivation while the
leaves are wet with rains or dew
Hence the early cultivation of beans
should be thorough, so as to allow
them to ripen before the weeds smother
them. 1t is not best to plant beans on
land that is very rich in heterogeneous
plant food, because such land is al
ways very weedy. Soil of moderate
fertility with a dressing of phosphate
and potash will make a good grain
crop, while on the richer land without
the mineral fertilizer, there will be only
a large growth of haulm and leaves.

Skau GulIs.

The natives of Foula, one Of the Shet-
land Islands, make a business of rear
ing skau gulls in order to rid the island
of the eagles that commit so many
depredations. The magnificent red
sandstone cliffs that skirt the north
western coast became favorite haunt
of the eagles, and in this inaccessible
spot they increased so rapidly that
they became a terror to the farmers
and fishermen who dwell on this iso-
lated spot. The skau gulls are also
strong and fierce, and the inveterate
foe Of the eagle. In battle the gulls
are nearly always victorious, and so
the inhabitants of Foula hit upon the
novel plan Of feeding and caring for
skau gulls, which, though formidable
to their feathered enemies, are very
peaceable and docile when brought in
contact with man.

every volunteer regiment have the
right to muster out, but the regulars
enlisted under the law calling out the
volunteers had the right also to be
mustered out. This meant that on
March II the only disciplined soldiers
of whom the President could avail him.
self was the regular army Of $4,000
men in service when the war began.
Nearly month passed after the attack
of Aguinaldo before the Senate permit
ted the bill increasing the army to be-
come a law. The bill was fought by
Democrats under the lead Of German
on the ground that the army was large
enough. Finally, after wasting more
than a month, during which period it
was doubtful if the hostile Senate
would give the President man whom
he could send to Manila, that body,
March 2, passed the compromise army
bill which authorized the President to
increase the regular army to $4,000
men for two years and to enlist $4,000
volunteers for like period. Until the
passage of this bill, nearly month
after Aguinaldo began the war, the
President did not have soldier he
could send to Manila-not one. After
the adjournment of Congress orders
were issued and recruiting for the reg
ular army began. If the $4,000 OR so
of regulars had been recruited in a
week and hastenedt to Manila they could
not have reached that point before the
middle Of May But the $1,000 or any
considerable portion of the number
could not be recruited in a week, and
they could not have been shipped to
Manila in such numbers because it
would have been impossible to obtain
ships to carry them. II these green
troops had arrived at Manila the mid
die of May or June and had been put
into the field unacclimated, half of
them would have died of disease incl
dent to exposure in the beginning of
the rainy season.
Therefore, if Gen. Otis had called for
10000 more men when Aguinaldo be-
gan war, they could not have been sup
piled until Congress had authorized the
President to recruit them. When Con
gress did finally give the President the
authority it was too late to put that
number of seasoned and disciplined
men in Manila. The later responsible
ity about calling for more men mag
rest with Gen. Otis as a matter OF
judgment, but the fact that the Prea
dent had no men to send is due largely
to the Germans and the Vests and
those who prevented the passage OF
the bill authorizing the increase Of the
army-Indfanapolis Journal.

lessons the yield of the vine. Yet 1t is
not to be wondered at, for the perfec-
ton of seed in almost all plants ex-
hausts their vitality very rapidly. The
cucumber vines should be handled
carefully so as not to loosen the roots
which some Of them send into the soil
from the joints. These are great helps
to the vine. If the vine is turned up
to see what is under it some Of these
side rootlets will be destroyed.
