Washington, D. G. (SpeeiaD.-While
President McKinley's letter Of ac-

far the most attention to the silver
question and the subject Of imperial
ism, several other subjects are touched
upon.
Mr.. Mckinley urges the upbuilding

the necessity of securing u share in
the carrying trade Of the world.
He declares his belief that publicity
would help to check the evils Of trusts,
and advocates uniformity Of legisla-

trade combinations.
The President favors the c0nstruc-
ton and control of the isthmian canal
by the Government.
He holds that the treatment of POr-

He defines the policy Of the Govern
ment in the Philippines, and declares
that it was impossible to adopt other
measures than those that were taken.

of power for each party has been
the rule for several successive Pre-
sidential terms, and it is the De.
mocracy's "turn" to win in 1900.
These considerations of analogy
and similitude have doubtless i'm
pressed themselves on the minds OF
the Democratic leaders. Now for
the hopes cased upon chance.
The panic OF 1887 which began
few weeks after Van Buren, entered
power, was one OF the csuses OF his
defeat in 1910. That OF 1878, in the
Republican period. helped to re-
duce the Republican majority in
the electoral college in 1876 to one.
The monetary CONFUSION OF 1898,
which started about month after
Cleveland went to the White House
a second time, helped to roll up the
majority which was cast against
his party in 1896. The Homestead
strike in the summer Of 1892, in
whibh many persons were killed and
much property destroyed, in the
last year Of Harrison's service, was
one OF the reasons for the Repub-
lican APATHY" which was noticed
in that campaign, and for the Re-
publican defeat which came at the
polls. A panic is decidedly i'm
probuble this year, but labor
troubles aud crop failures are al.
ways among the possibilities, and
any sort of calamity invariably
hits the party in power.
All of these reasons, coupled with
the conviction which is doubtless
honestly entertained that their
policy will, upon presentation,
appeal with force to the majoaity
Of the people, together with the
fact that it is the American prac-
tice for each side to make an active
fight in every election, whatever
the chances may seem to be, explain

1t is not a hard matter to keep the

cleaned daily.
Nearly all cases of chicken cholera
are caused by filth, improper food or
lack of care. 1t is disease of the
bowels.
Before the fall rains set in is a good
time for storing under shelter a good
supply of dry dust to be used under
roosts and in the dust box during the
winter.
All runs bare of grass would be all
the better for turning over once a

scatter over good sprinkling of quick
lime.

SOME CENSUS LESSONS.
full Decrease in the Number of
Farm Mortgages.

The statisticians at Washington are
busy Analysing returns of the small
army of federal census takers, and be-
fore very long the public should be
able to know definitely some of the
results. The growth in population in
some of the big cities has been al
ready announced, showing splendid
gains during the last ten years For
long time there was decided drift
of the people from country to city.
But in recent years hints have not
been wanting that this movement has
been checked. In fact, in some of the
older country districts of the middle
and eastern states decided trend
toward turning to country life may
be noted. The federal census should
clear up all these uncertainties. how
ever along with many other subjects
of dispute. One thing sure, it will
afford a good idea of the splendid
growth of the agricultural interests
of the country. We believe it will
bring to the front so positively the
bettered conditions of farmers as a
class in the way of smaller average
indebtedness and decreased number of
mortgaged farms that it will be less
difficult in the future to borrow
money for legitimate farm enter
prises. Furthermore, these facts
should impress country banks and
city capitalists with the splendid Sc
curity they have in loaning money on
farm property, this resulting in a
lower rate of interest There is
something radically wrong when
farmers are obliged to pay six to
nine per cent, while city people and
corporations can borrow money on no
better security at three and one-half
| and four per cent.-Farm and Home.

KeeninC the Chicks Warm.

The editor of a western poultry jour
nal says: Warmth is necessary to the
health and life of the chicks That
is all right as far as it goes, but that
one lone sentence does not go far
enouFh. Warmth is essential, but the
best kind is not the applied sort. 1t is
better to help a chick to keep itself
warm than to keep it warm. Some ar
tificial heat is necessary for brooder
chicks, but too much is worse than
none. A good many chicks are muir
dered each year by keeping them too
warm and coddling them. A healthy,
well-bred, properly-fed chick ought to
supply a good deal of It's own warmth
from within. Keep the chick comfort
able and well fed. Supply sufficient
heat to help them to warm up when
they want to, and provide way to get
away from it when they want to. Keep
your eyes on the chicks and not on the
thermometer.

many instances paralleled by rail-
roads which often have barely room
for a coal train. The aspect of the
landscape is depressing in the ex-
IRENE. All the timber except laurel,
has been cut for mine props. Sulphur
GUS smoke and washings from the
culm piles have destroyed vegetation.
The dreary fall days settling down
over this terrible region, where ma
lures works have been so distorted
as to give an aspect of horror to the
land which was once widely beautiful,
add to the melancholy of the strikers,
who, although winter is rapidly APP
preaching, attempt, by the only
means of which they are cognizant,
to eXtorf living wages from their en-
ployers. The villages all present the
same general appearance. A descrip-
ton of one answers for its neighbor
The main distinguishing feature is the
width of the valleys in which they
are built. Where these are narrow,
one long street struggles up the hill
side. When there is more room, two
4 or three of these streets often run
nearly parallel. Houses seem piled on
top of houses, varied by an occasional
coal breaker, which rises among them
Frequently, in winter, storms of sleet
and snow, bringing the mercury down
80 degrees in an hour, sweep over the
poor cabins, the poverty and squalor
of which cannot be conceived unless
one has witnessed them. But the view
of the exterior of the miserable how
els is hardly preparation for the
sight of the unkempt wretchedness
of their inhabitants.
Dirty, ragged, uncombed men and
women throng these villages. The
worse the quarter the greater, appar-
emily, the number of children swarm
ing its streets, piled with reeking
waste and garbage of every descrip-
ton. Sanitary regulations are I'M
known. The patch is the worst of
the two sections into which each of
these villages is divided. It's substi-
tutes for houses are said to be unlike
almost anything else evolved by man
in his desire for home and a habita-
ton. The occupants usually build
these sheds themselves, paying ground
rent. This portion of the town lies
outside, beyond the breakers, and is
the abiding place of Polacks, Italians
and Sicilians, representing the lowest

of the houses pay $40 or $12 per
month rent, and if building is large
probably a number of boarders are
kept. In the cellar is the coal bin,
filled monthly by the company at a
fixed rate on their books. The rough
est chairs and table and fewest pos.
sible number of cooking utensils are
found in the kitchen. The sleeping
rooms contain the crudest beds and
bedding, or, per5aps, heap of straw
on the floor. Sixteen to twenty men
often sleep in one room, with n hot
fire burning all night. Hundreds of
them lie down in their clothing. only
removing their boots and coats. Those
men who wash and change their cloth
ing on returning home, keeping as
clean as they may, meet with but poor
success, for as there are no sewers
there are no bathrooms, and a degree
of cleanliness which might be enjoyed
in the worst city districts is unattain-
able there. In an occasional house
sickly plants or vines may be seen at
a window.
But the better class of the popu-
lation is being crowded out. A man
now considers himself very fortunate
If he has steady work at two dollars
per day, who formerly earned 500 or
1925 per month. The cheap importa-
tions from southern Europe have dis
placed him. August was the rush
month of the year and wages were
comparatively good, but $50 working
days is said to be the yearly average
for man. The laws of Pennsylvania
are supposed to make company stores
an impossibility, but still they exist
and flourish. 1t is not matter of
surprise that but a small balance is
due man at the months end, when
rents, provisions, tobacco, powder or
perhaps medical services have been
furnished by the company at high
rates. The miner is compelled to
purchase his powder for blasting from
the company, at price 100 per
cent. higher than that of the open
market. His miners lamp is filled
with oil bought from the same source
at an eXorbitant price. If bits of
slate are found in the coal he sends
to the surface its value per ton is
reduced by the ''docker," from whose
judgment there is no appeal.
The condition of the women in the
patch is deplorable. They have a
