CAMPAIGN OF FALSE PRETENsE

In 1896 the republicans ran a sue
cessful campaign on platform Of false
pretenses. Nearly every promise in
that platform has been basely violated,
They declared for international blmet-
alllsm, and instead Of trying to get
It, they establish the single gold stan
dard. They declared for the perma-
nency and extension Of the clvil-serv-
Ice rules, and then took 10000 offices
from the merit system and turned them
over to the spells system. They de-
clared for tariff which was to miti-
gate by reciprocity. They gave us the
tariff, good and hard, but they now
buslly engage In killing the reciproc-
ity. Under that platform reciprocity
treaties were made with certain favor
ed nations and at the request Of the
protected industries Of this country
every one Of those treaties will be re-
jected. Here is what an able writer
says about the present condition Of
those treaties;
why these manifestations OF sur
prise because republican senators
are whettlng their knives to deal a
death blow to the pending reciprocity
treaties with France, the Argentine
Republic and the British West indies?
One would suppose that the republic
cans national platform Of 1SO6,of which
one OF tho strongest features was Its
reciprocity plank, was intended to be
taken seriously. The reciprocity trea-
ties will be done to death by the same
hypocrltical senators who Insisted that
vote-getting platform must necessar-
lily denominate protection and reel
proclty as twin measures OF repub-
llcan policy, Great is humbug, and
with the tariff wall lecture the repub-
lican senators are preparing to exc
cute a war dance upon reciprocity's
grave. But can the American people
be humbugged twice in successlon"

Incubator Cellar

Herewith We illustrate an incubator
cellar described In the catalogue OF tho
Reliable Incubator Company. We
quote part Of the description;
1T costa only a small amount of
money to construct a hrst-olass in
cubator house or half cellar. such as
ls commonly used on the extensive
broller farms and duck ranches In the
eastern states, Herewith Is shown
such q cellar, a reproduction OF one
In use on w. II, Crandall & Co.'s farm,
Floresville, Texas. and a number Of
other large poultry farms, on which
Reliable lncubators are operated, Tho
exact plans for building such cellar
are at the discretion OF the person
chiefly interested, but In the way OF
general directions, we submit the fol-
lowing:
CHOOSE a well-dralned location, free
from seep water, and excavate to a
depth Of two or three feet, Two feet
Ia ample. For the walls brick or stone
can be used. II these are not available,
hardwood, or even pine plank will an
swer frst-rate, except that they will
not be as lasting, Where the ground
Is dry, plank will last several years.

Pure Breeds as Layers.--It Is no
question OF fad, but commercial fact,
that the pure breeds lay as we'll, they
fatten as well, as the mongrels, and the
contingent chances Of profit in extra
prices obtained for pure breeds gives
them the decided advantage. First
crosses with pure breeds may actually
give higher averages in egg produce
tion for the season, but one has to
set against this advantage the breeding
losses in the second. season. 1t pays
best 70 keep to purity, and breed
amongst your pure breeds for the best
layers, or table birds, whichever may
be your particular object. So many
breeders have no object. They do not
much care either way. To such, Of
course, we have nothing to say.-RurSl

In these columns we have repeatedly

ally find that the hens that do we'll on

M'KINLEY VS.. M'KINLEY.

Several years ago In a speech against
Cleveland's administration, President
Mckinley used the following Ian
guage: "You are setting up gold, the
money Of the rich, and you are de-
stroying silver, the money Of the poor,
you are destroying one of our precious
metals, one OF our own products, de-
stroylng silver and enhancing the
price of gold, You are determined to
contract the circulating medium, limit
the volume of money among the peo-
pie, make money scarce and therefore
dear" Now he advocates law max
ing gold the only standard of value,
changing silver into token money and
retiring the greenbacks which served
the country In the hour Of battle and
civil strife. In all history Is there q
single case to parallel this in abandon
ment of principles? Is not Mckinley
the most stupendous hypocrlte Of all
the ages?

There Is no boy that has lived on
a farm where dairylng Is done but
has trouble feeding the calves their
milk. This have found out by expe-
rlence, writes contributor to Dakota
Farmer. To remedy the trouble |
made some small stanchlons. Six
Inch boards are strong enough UP and
down, with 2x4 and 1x4 at the top
and bottom. The width OF the stan
chlons should be four Inches for very
young calves and Ave inches will hold
calves as large as they are usually fed
milk. Allowing twenty-five inches for
each calf, will give room so that the
one next to the one that Is drinking
can not reach the pail and tip 1t over.
A boy can feed dozen calves this way
without getting mad. 1t Is a good
plan to have manager and feed some
oats as soon as the calves are through
drinking, and when they are turned
loose they will not suck each other.
Hay can be fed after the oats and the
stanchions will serve as a feed rack.
When calves are fed In this way there
Is never any trouble about breaking
the heifers to the stanchions when
they become cows.

WAR Is COSTLY.

The war is now costing England
&2,000,O00 week. The original war
estimates made by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach are utterly inadequate to meet
such expenditure, and the cabinet will
propose as means Of meeting II an
increase of the income tax from 8 to 10
pence on pound. The measure, after
having been in effect FIVE weeks, should
pay the running war expense. In ad-
dition 1t will be proposed to Increase
the duties on beer and tobacco and a
mild tariff will probably be inaugural
ed.-News Item.
War costs money-greed is an ex-
pensive vice-benevolent assimilation
comes high. England Is spending lots
Of money-so is America. But Eng
land gets that money from rich men
while we get 1t from poor England
taxes incomes while we tax food,
clothing and other necessaries. In
england the cost of the war will be
mostly paid by the classes, In this
country 1t will be paid by the masses.
The first families of England send
their sons to the war and the battle
fields of South Africa are crimsoned
with aristocratic blood Our so-called
aristocrats stay in their banks, their
offices and their factories and pile up
more millions by virtue of the war,
and our fighting men are taken from
the pillow, the anvil and the loom. In
England the rich pay the cost of the
war and help In the battles, while the
American aristocracy neither pay nor
fight Like buzzards, they fatten on
the dead bodies of the slain.

The good brood mare is worth more

The legislature, some years ago, very
properly enacted a law regulating the
conduct of primary elections. The
principal object of the law was to pre-
vent fraud. So far as it goes, the law
is all right; but it does not go far
enough. A system Of suffrage that
makes enrolment on club rolls the only
requisite to voting is all wrong. 1t
makes easy the control of elections by
floaters or by colonization. Some day
the system is going to give trouble.
Proper safeguards should be provided
at once, and it would be good idea for
the legislature to provide them. The
present primary election law should be
so amended as to provide that the ex-
hibition of a registration certificate
shall be a prerequisite to voting in a
primary election. The constitution and
laws Of this state contemplate the con-
troll of the government only by quail
fed voters-citizens Of the state. The
dangerous gaps that are now down
should be put up without more delay.

THE FIRST MONDAY.

The first Monday in December is al
ways a lively day in Yorkville, and last
Monday was no exception, unless the
exception lay in the fact that the crowd
of visitors was larger than has been
known on a similar occasion for years.
AS usual, few of the van leaders ar
rived on Sunday afternoon; but the
main body did not begin to put in it's
appearance until about o'clock Mon
day morning. From then on until
about II all the roads that centre at the
court house poured in continuous
stream of humanity. The people came
literally in cavalcades, buggies and
horses entering the different hitching
lots, full dozen at time.
There were not great many ladies'
not nearly so many as on salesday for
November. 1t was probably because Of
the threatening weather, and as 1t af-
terward turned out it was well they did
not come. The rain would have made
it very disagreeable. Otherwise they
would have found nothing to mar their
pleasure. There was no disorder or
rowdyism. The crowd was Of the kind
that has now become characteristic
wellbehaved and respectable.
Of course many people came to at
tend the auction sales; but not all OF
them. At one time. for perhaps half an
hour, the court house was pretty we'll
filled. The whole building-up-stairs
and down-would have hardly furnish
ed standing room for half the visitors
had they tried to get into it. Treasurer
Neely assisted by Auditor Boyce, was
busy all day, the stores were pretty
we'll crowded, the supervisors Of regis
tration were kept close at their books.
and the horse and mule dealers had
their hands full.
There was some whisky in evidence,
more than on the previous salesday;
but it was not demonstrative. The po-
lice had little to do but watch. They
made no arrests.

have amounted to 255 tons, and possi-

could not be procured; but from such
information as is obtainable, dealers
all about have made unusually large
sales. q.
