ADMISSION TO WEST ponT.
superintendent ReeonnsenAs That
Standard Of Edseatis.al ns-
@airelnents Ne naisea.

Col. A. Il. Mills, superintendent OF
the military academy at West Point,
has made his annual report to the ad-
jutant general.
He devotes the greater part ut his
report to an earnest plea for the ele-
vation of the standard of admission
to West Point, to which end he sug-
gests that the secretary of war be
empowered to prescribe these require
ments. He lays particular stress upon
the fact that the entrance examina-
tions at present correspond closely to
the educational qualifications of pupils
of the public schools just emerging
from the primary grades. According
to the commissioner of education,
pupils of an average age of 14La years
in the public schools have these quail
fications. Yet the average age of the
applicant to West Point is above. and
boys at that time of life should be
equipped with high school education,
including subjects which are not now
a part of the entrance examination at
West Point but which should be in
the future. The superintendent says
it would be in every way advanta-
geous to have the relations between
arithmetic and algebra and geometry
made the same as now. exists in the
public schools. There is no desire
that the entrance examinations should
be made more difficult. but only that
it should require what the public
schools of the country supply.

A Militant Parson.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 4,-Rev.
Smith, pastor of one of the most
fashionable churches here, said this
morning in his sermon:
"To listen to a few magnates and
burden our Puerto Rico with a
tariff is a criminal course. Some of
our politicians are smarting under
the lash of public censure and are
studying the art of being two-faced
and two-voiced to extricate them.
selves from an awkward dilemma,
IF the islands are equal to our
average State on the score of in
telligence, then we violate our law
in laying a tax without their
consent. Our national enthuiasm
for expansion or imperialism
may carry out people so far
as to override all common sense
and common honor. Let us
keep hands off those far.shing isles
if we cannot nurse them into
strength of brain aud life, because
we guarded them in their day Of
stress"

Again tn. Golden Opportunity.

Cronje's capture is McKinley's

To appeal for peace is right in
international law, right in morals,
right in diplomacy. The republics
wish it, the people of the civilized
world wish it. Who knows but that
if Mr.. Mckinley we're to appeal
publicly sentiment might compel
the British Government to listen2
If England could appealto US in
behalf of peace and peaceful settle
ment in 1898, why cannot we appeal
to England for peace and peaceful
settlement in 1902
Mr.. Mckinley is very fond Of
talking about what he has done
to make us world power
and a world influence. Now let
him show that we do not
stand merely for force, merely for
commerce, but that.we still stand
as heretofore for humanity, peace,
reason, civilization. New York

HANDLING CLOVER HAY.
II Il One Of the Arts of Fnrmins and
One That Is Understood by Eut
Very Few.

The curing Of clover hay is one of the
arts of farming. and the reason so
many farmers depreciate it's value IS
because they have never realized the
good results to be obtained from feed
ing well-cured clover hay. 1mme-
diately after clover IS moved down it
will begin to wilt and then dry
ns it is termed. The process of cur
ing clover requires more time than
some farmers can conveniently give
it. If it is moved down in the morn
ing it will be thoroughly cured so it
can be taken in the same day, and if It
is cut later in the day it must re-
main out over night and absorb the
dew. This is where the mistake is
made. Clover after II IS cut should
never be allowed to lie spread over
the ground in falling dcws or rain.
now clover hay in the morning as
soon as the dew is gone and let it cure
until toward evening, then rake il up
and make it into doodles. In the
morning spread the hay loosely over
the ground again, and in an hour it
is perfectly cured, then it is hauled
into the barn. Glover hay should not
be stacked, as it will not keep in wet
weather, even dampness will spoil il.

To Keep Grass Land Fertile,

Grass lands are supposed to recup-
crate, and heavy sod is desirable, but
when such lands are grazed or moved
there is loss OF plant food, and the
soil will become poorer unless ma
nure or fertilizer is applied. When
grass appears to die out it is IN in.
dication that the plant food is be.
coming exhausted. The best plan TO
pursue is to keep stock off the field and
apply fertilizer, following with q
heavy application Of manure in the
fall. If the grass does not show sat
isfactory effects from such treatment
plow the field and plant to corn the
following spring.

A PLOW ATTACHMENT.
II Cost hut Little TO Make II. and All
Who HIVE Tried II Are More
Than Satisfied.

A year ago last spring, while we
were plowing piece of sod for corn, we
had difficulty in getting the plow to
run right. We were plowing with
three horses. and if we set il to take
land enough, the jointer would cut
too much into the land. We
thought some of buying a three-horse
clevis like some of our neighbors
had, but did not like to pay the price
dealers asked for them. So we began
to think of some other plan.

neighbor put one on his plow. We all

The commission appointed to con-
slider the reforms In the French naval

effect that the programme OF competi-

be SO arranged as to permit the candi-
dates to present themselves without
previous special preparation. the pro-
gramme OF the class In elementary
mathematics to be the basis OF the
competitions. The Journal de la
Marine points out that this resolution
lodges, not decides the question. by
forcing the candidates to turn toward
mathematics instead OF letting them
pursue at will the normal course OF
their classical studies. II specializa-
ton no longer exists. 1t asks. why are
30 points accorded those who are pro-
vided with a classical or modern bac-
calaureate? This commission was ap-
pointed as result OF the bad condition
of the naval school as shown by the
poor recruiting for 1t. Among the
causes to which Is attributed the de-
terioration of the school two are con-
spicuous One is the obligation on
lads destined for the school to abandon
their general studies and from the age
Of 13 or IA years to make special prep
aration. The other is the attachment
of these lads to the service at an age
when it is practically impossible to
know whether they have any natural
aptitude or the character necessary to
make good sailors These two points
do not appear to have been treated
definitely, and conditions. 1t is pre-
dicted, will remain as before.

His election was not open to question.
The scheme could be carried through
only by extraordinary measures, but
1t was determined on by Mr.. Goebel

There II now a contest before the

now. as l did 1t In the campaign.
(Great and continued applause.) am
afraid that you have applauded too
soon. When Il was persuading citi-
zen how to vote. took my position
and did what conceived to be my
duty. You are now engaged in a con-
test that is to decide not what ought
to have been done, but what was done.
Your legislature Is the court. That
legislature must decide upon the law
and upon the evidence: and every
member OF that court will be better
informed upon the law and the evil
dence than am. and 1t is al much my
duty now not to interfere as 1t was
in the campaign to interfere. and
shall do my duty as soc 1t now. as
did then.
Brynn to Goebrlites-
II neither advised contest, nor ad-
vised against 1t. took no position
on this subject would be ashamed
II I were presumptious enough to at-
tempt to interfere with the consci-
entious performance OF duty that de-
wolves only upon the members of the
legislature. l want to say this. how
ever, that when men say you cannot
expect Just decision from the legis-
lature because 1t is Democratic,
want to say that every contest in re-
gard to human government must be
settled by human tribunals, and that
whether contest is presented to
court or to legislature it must be
decided by men. and that those men
must have political opinions. and II
this was a Republican Legislature 1t
would have the same power to decide
that Democratic legislature has.
II am glad 1t is Democratic legis-
lature. When questions have to go
before court. am always glad when
1t Is a Democratic court that they go
before. and II the Republicans OF this
state feel that they are unfortunate
In having to submit their questions to
Democratic court, they can come out
to Nebraska and console with us
Democrats, who for years have had to
submit our differences to Repubii-
can court" (Applause)
what Bryan Stands For.
This closes the story. Mr.. Bryan
has not appeared in Kentucky since
January. He will no doubt be
brought here again before the cam
paign closes, but when the significance
Of these three invasions is borne In
on the minds Of thoughtful men moth
ing Mr.. Bryan could say about duty,
morality, loyalty to popular institu-
tions and obedience to the will OF the
people can have the least considera-
tion. Here in Kentucky Mr.. Bryan
stands for Crokerism. for Goebelism.
for Haldemanism.
