The Anrlo.American AIllance

Some months since an arrangement
was made for our consul, Macrum at
Pretoria, to look after the British interests
there also. Such an arrangement is
customary when two nations are at wal.
Macrum very soon found what many
other acts would tend to prove, that al
though denials have been publicly made,
and are still publicly made, there was a
secret alliance between William the of
America and Asia and her Majesty, Queen
Victoria. That secretly and 50 far as the
Anglomaniacs running this government
today dared to 90 in the face of public
sentiment they were assisting England
in this unholy war. Read the following
extracts from Macrum's letter. No self
respecting citizen could do other than he
did, come home. The son of Secretary
Hay has been sent in Macrum's place,
and the administration is attempting to
blacken the name Of Macrum:
at was over four weeks from the time
the war opened before l received a
single mail dispatch from my govern
eminent or personal letter. The mail
for the Transvaal had been stopped at
Cape Town by order of the high COM
missioner. When tins mail was. finally
forwarded to me, after Colonel Stowe,
the consul general at Cape Town had Sc
cured its release, l had the humiliation,
as the representative Of the American
government, of sitting in my office in
Pretoria and looking upon envelopes
bearing the official seal of the govern
ment opened and officially sealed with a
sticker notifying me that the contents
had been read by the censor at Durham.
l looked up the international law, but
failed to find anywhere that one mil-
tary power can use its own discretion as
to forwarding the official dispatches of q
neutral government to its representa-
tive IN DeSleged country.
"The situation in Pretoria was such
that, irst, as an official | could not re-
main there while my government at
home was apparently in the dark as 10
the exact conditions in South Africa.
Secondly, as a man and citizen Of the
| United States, I could not remain in
Pretoria, sacrificing my own self-respect
and that of the people Of Pretoria while
the government at home continued to
leave me i'll the position Of British con-
sui and not an American consul.
When I accepted my post as consul I
knew nothing Of any secret alliance be-
| tween America and Great Britain and |
had seen nothing in the regulations
which made the consul of the American
republic subject to the whims and Ca
prices of an English military censor at
Durham"

The Prospect.

Prospect is what we Kansas farmers
bank on, the fact is, sometimes in the
past, all we have realized for our labor
was magnificent prospect in the spring,
with a total failure at harvest time.
"What Shall the Harvest be-" whatever
it may be. There is no question but
W at we have the finest prospect we
h c had for many year. All the
W own anything like early enough
has made a wonderful growth and con-
trary to all former years since hard wheat
81 e~' led soft wheat we have an abund-
SO Of pasture. By the way, there is
better feed for cattle and horses, espe-
cially for COWS and young cattle. The
soil is full of moisture sufficient to keep
the wheat alive until the spring rains
come.
Fruit trees of all kinds, where healthy,
indicate a full crop unless injured by
late frost, grape vines in good shape.
Berries of all kinds seem to be all right.
Stock of all kinds are healthy and
wintering in good shape. The mild
winter has been very favorable to those
who have to buy fuel, especially those
who are least able to pay high prices for
coal.
Take the prospect of a magnifcen
crop in Sumner county also of the Beers,
licking the stufing out Of Johnny Bull
and it certainly does seem that the good
Lord is on the the side of the people,
Notwithstanding that our Legislative,
executive and Judicial authorities seem
to be standing in with the devil.

A Remedy for the Trust Evil.

President Lockwood of the Antitrust
League at the recent meeting at Chicago,
gave utterance in his speech to this sound
and logical remedy for the trust evil:
but let this trust m uopolizing pro-
cess 90 on, and mark & change; then
every little boy and ever Title girl born
into this land under the stors and stripes
except a favored few will he born into a
condition of slavery, the worst the world
has ever known.
"Now, what IS the remedy? In my
opinion one Of the most important REM
edies is the national ownership Of the
railways o. the coIltrr, highways.
For I say to YOU trat hardly a
monopoly in America today At has not
been created and l1aintai--d iy railway
determinations. Estab,is' equal rates
over the railways Of the country, such as
we would enjoy under government own
ership, so that every man can 90 to mar
ket with the products Of his handiwork,
with the products of his mill, or his mine,
or his farm, just as cheap as any other
man, and monopoly will wither away"

The constitution distinctly states that
ali customs duties shall be uniform
throughout the United States. But what
is the constitution to Emperor William I.
In their mad rush toward imperialism he
and his advisers are ignoring public
opinions precedent the constitution and
everything to compass their ends. Porto
Rico is as much part of the United
States as Alaska and vet it is proposed to
establish different set of customs duties
for Poto Rico from the rest of the coun-
try, and all because the trusts have so
ordered,

Beauty is born in the blood. Beauty
is more than skin deep. When the blood
is tainted by disease the flesh will feel it
and the skin will show it. Sallow or
muddy compilations, pimples, blotches,
and eruptions are only the surface signs
of impure blood. Face washes, lotions,
complexion powders, may palliate the
the evils but they cannot cure the dis
ease. The only cure is to cleanse the
blood of the poisonous matter which is
the cause of the outbreak in the flesh
and skin. Impure blood can be abso-
lutely purified by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Its effect on
flesh and skin is marked. Sores heal and
disappear. The skin becomes smooth.
and regains its natural color. The eyes
brighten and sparkle, the whole body is
radient with the brightness and beauty Of
health. Golden Medical Discovery
contains no alcohol, whiskey or other in
toxicants, and it absolutely free from
opium. cocaine and other narcotics.
The use use Of Dr.. Pearce's Pleasant
Pellets, assists the action of the DIS
Covery," by cleansing the system Of
clogging matter.

A Boss Ridden Party.

Even the willing tools that make
up so large a part of the Republican
majority in congress, who for pie have so
far meekly submitted to every demand OF
the administration in its reckless and I'M
American policy, are beginning to assert
a little independence. They are hearing
from home. The infamous Hanna-Payne
subsidy bill which is a clear steal of
$I67, 900 from the people. The secret
alliance with England to help overthrow
the South African republic, Secretary
Cages deal withthe Standard Oil banks,
the turning of the control of the money
of the country over entirely to the ma
tional banks, the enormous and needless
expenditure of blood aid treasure in ex
tending the empire III the process Of
benevolent assimilation" and the con-
FINANCE Of military authority in Cuba
and Porto Rico. These and many other
acts OF the administration all showing
wanton disregard Of the wishes Of the
common people are causing Republican
congressman to pause in their mad rush
to please the administration and secure
its favor and consider whether it is not
time to call halt. William l is not now
the oracle he was a few months since.
Administration measures no longer re-
seive the unanimous and enthusiastic
support they once did. 1t is nearing
election and the question is being asked,
"can an unlimited amount of trust mon
ty offset the Just wrath and Indignation

IDEAL POULTRY FOOD.
According to One Authority, Linseed
Meal Is the Greatest Egg
Producer Known.

Mr.. F. L. Hooper, Baltimore, who
claims that linseed meal stands ahead
of all other foods, says that linseed
meal is to-day about the nearest per-
feet food for fowls that you will ever
obtain for egg production. 1t contains
the substances nearly similar to the
composition of the egg. Its nitrogen
GUS substance is large, with phosphates,
potash, lime and other mineral matter
in a large supply, and if it was not for
the nuisance of poultry feeders and
writers in advocating its use in a small
quantity to help the fowls shed their
feathers most persons would think it
only a medicine for feather pushing,
and good for no other purpose. Make
use Of liberal supply of this wonder

maker, flesh former, health promoter
and digester (better than grit, and a

many other disorders of the fowl fam
lily. Remember that linsecd meal is a
cooked food, and also the fact that you
cannot feed it separately, which is its
only drawback, because by using it sep
arately it gets clammy, or mucilagin-
Gus, and fowls fail TO relish it, but il is
an excellent feed to mix upin the drink
ing water of the fowls, say, about a gill
to the gallon of water. Three-fourths
of the production of oil cake made in
the United States is sold in Europe. Is
not this a crying shame on the total ig-
norance of the American feeders in not
knowing its great value as an article
of food for stock Of every kind? In
stead of making fowls shed their feath-
ers when fed regularly, it has an OPP
posite tendency. The feathers seem to
get a better hold, and the beauty Of
plumage the birds get from feeding it

tionable if raw oyster shell is a proper
food for lime. 1t is liable to produce a
caustic state, to some extent; it must
so act TO become soluble lime. In this
state it would cause Inflammation. Air
Stacked lime is preferable, BECAUSE it is
soluble, and the carbonate of lime
would be in the exact state for the hens
to make use of it. Old plaster would
be still better, because 1t would supply
Sulphur for Soil Rot.
Experiments in New Jersey hav.
shown the great value of sulphur, which
leads all other substances in checking
the soil rot in sweet potatoes, it having
proved most effective in destroying this
disease. Four hundred pounds of sui
phur per acre were used, and the test
carried on for five years on the same
soil, which was badly infested with the
rot. The increase from sulphur was
nearly three times that of the plats
where no sulphur was used. The in
crease Of salable sweet potatoes was $50
per cent, and the increased profit at 50
cent. per bgshel was $40 per acre.

When Horse Catch Cold.

II has been noticed that horses that
have been out on pasture for some time
viii frequently seem to take cold or
develop a case Of nasal catarrh when
taken up and kept in the stable. If the
stable is very close and warm and no
protection is given to the horse to pre-
vent him from taking cold when
brought out, be is liable to be affected
by the change during very cold weather,
Sometimes, also, the stable is too open
and he has to stand in draft when
brought in warm from work. In such
cases cold may frequently follow the
neglect. In many cases, however, the
catarrh or cold may be prevented by
seeing that the stable is free from filth
and impure air.-Farmers' Review.

POLITICAL GUMPTI0N.

From the Philadelphia Record OF yesterday.
A Chicago special dispatch to the New
York Times says that the running mate
for Mr.. Bryan has been selected, and
that it is no other person than ex-Gov-
ernor Robert L. Pdttson, of Pennsyl-
vania. Pattison was looked upon with
favor some months ago, and the advisa-
bi ity of giving him second place was
talked of even before the State Conyen-
tion was held at Harrisburg, but it did
not get into print because it was feared
that Mr.. Pattison might be looking for
the first place himself" The dispatch
does not assert that the consent of Mr..
Pattison to take second place on the
Bryan ticket has been obtained. There
is no doubt that his candidacy would
bring to Bryan additional votee; but it
wolld probably require extreme persua-
sion to induce hin. to make the plunge.
Mr. Pattison does not lack courage, but
he is credited with more than ordinary
political gumption.
