The old settlers picnic came of as
advertised on last Tuesday and the
crowd was one of the largest that ever
attended n gathering of the kind in the
county. the crowd numbered between
$500 and 5000 and everyone had a
e cd time. The program was well
carried cut and a number Of good
speeches were made which we would
like to comment on, but space will not
permit. The afternoon was devoted to
sports and "reminiscences Of former
days, some Of the latter of which would
make the hair of the average citizen of
today stand on end. The orders were
to bring baskets well filled, and every
one obeyed the orders, and from the
heaps of bones left as evidence, the
feathered population Of Webster county
has greatly decreased. A rain cloud
approaching brought a close to the
amusemenis and scared most of the
crowd out, and owing to that the dance
in the evening was a failure. The pic.
mic was one Of the best old settlers
picnics ever held in this county and
has given IN impetus to them that is
bound to make them a success for sew.

The Evils Of Trusts.

Finding the government a profitable
asset, private monopolists have taken
possession of it. They seek to control
caucuses, conventions and elections.
They control legislation, they own
courts, and they dictate to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
Naturally, they select men with no
convictions to do their rear stair work
and betray the public, and they have
brought to the front a race of men
who make deception their business
and duplicity their stock in trade.
These men are mere creatures They
do not rise to the dignity of politicians,
but have the impudence to sit in chairs
once occupied by statesmen.
Through this class of men the func-
lions Of government have been per-
verted, and from being the protector 1t
is being made the despoiler of the peo-
pie.
At the dictation Of the combines, the
courts, which were intended to protect
the citizen in his rights, have been used
to strike down trial by jury, that bull
wark Of liberty for which the English
speaking people have shed more blood
than for any other thing.-Hon. J. P.
Altgeld.

The Rough Rider-His Price.

While few would have denied the
truth Of Walpole's axiom that "every
man has his price," fewer would have
imagined the price which Governor
Roosevelt fixed on the sacrifice Of his
Presidential and Gubernatorial aspira-
tiens could be reached by such a petty,
temporary and meretricious honor as
civil governor of the uncivilized Fill
pinos. And yet it is stated with every
detail necessary to its acceptance that
as the result OF q personal interview
between Roosevelt and Mckinley the
former abandons the political track
and is to be appointed to the ultimate
goal of his ambition-the Governorship
of the Philippines. If this deal were
not consummated between the great
reform Governor Of New York and the
professionally pietistic President Of
the United States.sit would come under
thr statutory description of a corrupt
hal gain. wholly IN defiance Of good
government and the civil service rules.

A Single Feather.

At recent great poultry show Q
white Plymouth Rock pullet was on
exhibition, said to be the most perfect
specimen ever seen, with the exception
named below. To this the judges, Off.
cial and private, all agreed. Unfortun-
ately this pullet, somewhere among her
posterior plumage, had feather,
which feather had a small space there.
on which seemingly absorbed all the
colored rays, or. in other words, was
black, and the fool exhibitor had neg.
lected to remove it. Under the standard
this pullet was utterly disqualified and
relegated to the society Of culls. OF
course. this is utterly absurd but it is
standard" The best specimen was de.
barred and an inferior onn, of course.
won the prize. A noted poultry Judge,
when asked what he would have done
in the case, said he would have pulled
the black feather out, and for this very
sensible remark the standard poultry
cranks are roundly abusing him. 1t is
not the highest scoring bird that is the
best breeder, but rather the one that
has the best lineage. Scrubs may and
often do give single specimens that will
score high while their average progeny
would be kicked out of decent show

For a Foundered Horse.

The time to treat n founder Is at

Removing Comb Honey.

To remove comb honey from the bee
hive great care should be taken. AT
ter one has produced a case of nice
fancy grade honey it is important to
know how to take it from the hive.
and not have the bees puncture the
white cappings. This is often permit
ted and the honey is rated as second
grade. When ready to take off honey,
approach the hive with the smoker well
going, send in a few puffs of smoke at
the entrance, then raise the back end
of the super and puff in little smoke
very gently. DO not frighten the bees
by rough handling or Earring the hive
in any way, for then they will run to
the boxes of nice honey and puncture
the white cappings and fill themselves.
After raising the super about six
inches on the back end with one hand.
slip the bee escape under 1t witty the
other hand and adjust everything in its
place. The bees will all make their
exit through the escape in the board
one by one, and your super will be
ready to come off the next day. 1t is
best to put on escapes toward evening
so the bees in the super will not be too
hot Now If you have been judicious
and expeditions in all your manipula-
tons you may carry off your super of
nice comb honey the next morning
without puncture or scratch.-N. r.

We Have Reached a Crisis.

We are at crisis in the history Of
the race.
Shall the hand of toll be emanci-
pated, or shall it have new shackles
riveted on it?
Shall the American millions be free
men or serfs?
Shall government protect the weak
or be a mere convenience for the
strong?
Shall justice uphold the right or
smile on iniQuityp
Shall liberty illumine the earth or be
slain in her own temple?
For many decades this republic has
been the greatest world power on the
globe; not through her armies, or her
navies, or her wealth, but through her
moral force; through high ideals,
through the divinity of human rights.
Shall she go on in this course, lifting
the hopes of all people, and brighten
ing the skies of all nations, or shall she
abdicate her high position, get on to
the low plane of brute force, and move
along the barbaric road of tinsel. op-
preston, misery and death?
These are some Of the questions that
confront our people.
Let them but clearly understand, and
/ there will be no doubt about the issue.

not yet performed its mission.

Is 1t a Little ThInaf

says the Chicago Inter.Oceon, .
Republican paper, famous for it's rock
ribbed partisanship:
'If the tariff is such a little thing
why do Porto Rican mass meetings
denounce the customs duties and pray
for our internal revenue taxes? Why
does the San Juan News say to con-
gress: You cannot tax any crop more
than it is worth, for then no one will
produce 1t or pay any tax on it?' Why
does Governor-General Davis tele-
graph that he must have at least 500
tons of food weekly to prevent abso-
lutte starvation? Why does w. H. S.
Lothrop, United States fiscal agent in
the island, write
I tell you now that if Porto Rico
does not get relief in the way of free
exchange of products before the next
summer we Americans who go there
will take our lives in our own hands
There has been feeling of discomfort
ever since last summer and
about all that kept them (the Porto
Ricans) quiet was the assurance from
American authorities that as soon as
congress met everything would be set
right. The hesitation now
shown is making them desperate. A
starving people Is the worst in the
world
livery light taxes bid fair to turn
the loyal and long suffering Porto
Ricans into paupers, and perhaps into
rebels. About 1875 years ago certain
loyal subjects Of King George III, in
the town of Boston and elsewhere,
were made rebels in law and fact
by tax of pence a pound on their
tea. They freely admitted that it was
a very light tax. But they also said
it was an unjust tax, and they would
not pay it. They did not pay it, and
the results of their refusal are too
well known to need comment"

EOr the Show.

There is quite knack in preparing
birds for the show room and several
points must be observed if birds are
made presentable. Take the cock away
from the hens at the close of the breed
ing season and shut in a small covered
pen about four feet square. The sun
will not bleach nor burn the feathers,
and If none of his tail or body feathers
are broken, there is not much POSSIBLE
ity of him soiling or breaking his
feathers If kept cleanly in his coop.
The hens should be kept in separate
yards. All broken feathers on the feet
should be removed and if the legs arc
inclined to be scurvy little sulphur,
lard, hot water and soap will soou
show the good effect of cleanliness.
The fowls must not be washed, hut
the yards should be kept so clean that
their plumage will not become soiled.

Some Of Our Ailments.

Hon. John P. Altgeld in his speech
at Albany, N. Y, on jefferson day,
April 16, among other things told about
our ailments:
The foundations of the republic are
shaking and the affairs of liberty are
crumbling. Dirty fingers are laid on
the Goddess of Justice, and soiled
hands are pillaging the temple of hui
mainly.
The effort to secure privilege and to
maintain private monopoly in city and
in nation is not only robbing us, but
rotting us down.
In America enterprise has come to
mean exploitation, and patriotism has
become a new name for plumber. Any
contingent will do, and one hemisphere
is as good as another, so long as the
government can be used for private
enrichment.
To-day the men Of America who love
liberty and hate oppression, who love
Justice and despise hypocrisy, look to
the shrine of Thomas Jefferson for
new hope and new courage.

sofa, that Porto Rico is an integral
part of this country, and that the Con.
stitution extended itself of its own
force to the island as soon as the
treaty of cession was ratified, is only
obiter dictum, but it is significant of
the probabilities when the question
comes up for direct decision. Judge
Lochren is an accomplished jurist, and
his views are likely to turn out to be
identical with those of the Supreme
Court. In that case the Republican
party will have its hands full of en-
barrassing baggage in the shape of I'M

The Feathering Process.

The feathering of chicks depends on
several matters, but much depends on
the breed of the chick. The chicks Of
non-sitting breeds begin to shoot out
feathers from the wings before they
are two days old, which Is a drawback,
as rapid featherinS is weakening.
Brahma and Cochin chicks feather
very snowy, sometimes they appear al
most naked for weeks but they are
hardy and stand it we'll as they are not
weakened by rapid feathering. When
chickens feather slowly more of them
are raised. as they are not weakened
by growing much covering of feathers
at an age when they cannot endure the
process

Method In Il.

Mckinley, and will not money make
him again?
Porto Rico has rich pickings. The
pickings of the Philippines are still
richer. Pickings will flourish under
carpetbagism. For Porto Rico: A
governor at $4,000; an attorney-gener-
II $4,000; commissioner of the interior,
$4,000; commissioner of education,
$4,000; five members Of the executive
council, whose salaries shall be fixed
by the legislature; chief justice Of
the supreme court, $1,000; four asso-
ciate justices of the supreme court,
$4,000 each; marshal of that court,
$4,000; United States district judge,
$4,000; United States district attorney,
$4,000; United States district marshal,
$500 Then there are commissions
and clerks and such.
These be but vulgar spoils. There
are franchises and concessions. The
carpetbaggers will be under deep and
lasting debt of gratitude. Gratitude
will dispose Of franchises. Gratitude
will pass upon land titles and dispose
Of public domain. The pickings will
be rich. In some madness there is
method; in other madness there is

Salaries for Rich and Poor.

John d. Rockefeller has raised the
wages of $4,000 of his standing army
of laborers 10 per cent. Whatever Mr..
Rockefeller's motive, nobody can doubt
the justice of his action. But Mr..
Rockefeller can well afford it, as a sup
plement to his regular campaign con-
tribution. His income is at least &c.,
900 a day, a sum for which one of his
Woodworking laborers, receiving $3.50
day, would have to work 1856 years.
There is much room for further i'm
provement in the matter of wages.
Every begrimed miner who tolls in Mr..
Rockefellers Minnesota iron mines or
his Pennsylvania oil fields is still MAX
ing two dollars for Mr.. Rockefeller
where he makes one for himself. If
every trust and combination of capital
employing labor would permit wages
to rise with each recurring wave of
prosperity there would be no necessity
for strikes and discontentment
