Fading Prejudice,

When Mr.. Bryan secured the nomi-
nation Of his party four years ago, the
ultra conservative press looked upon
his candidacy as grave danger Of the
republic. Ii he had been Alaric or
Ivan the Terrible, he could not have
loccasioned greater tremors in the old
maidenly souls of the conservative edi-
tors If he should be elected, they
were convinced that the supreme court
would be upset, that our financial sys-
tenn would be ruined, that civil service
reform would be bloted out, that every
public Office would be filed by a crank,
that Mary Ellen Lease would be secre-.
tary of the treasury, and that anarchy
would be turned loose and Altgeld
made Lord Of Misrule They could
not be convinced that as au American
citizen Mr., Bryan loved the institu-
tions, and that the welfare of the union
would be The primary object of his
solicitude. His motives were impugn-
ed and his character assailed.
But four years have brought about a
change. Even those who do not espec-
tally admire the democratic standard
bearer, know that he is a sincere and
honest man, and that he would cut off
his right arm before he would knowing
ly work any harm against the republic.

way ieopardize American institutions.
Those who see in the retention of the
islands long step towards imperial
ism find in Mr.. Bryan much safer
man than Mr., Mckinley
Some persons have tried to create
the impression that Mr.. Bryan has
taken up imperialism in order to drop
free silver; but simply because he re-
CARDS imperialism the paramount issue
does not Justify any one in supposing
that he will drop any of the other is
sues embodied in the Kansas City plat
form, That document pronounces un-
equiyocally for free silver. Mr.. BRYAN
declared that he would not accept the
nomination unless such a declaration
was made; and he hos no more idea of
dropping free silver than he has Of
dropping the plank about the trusts or
the plank favoring the Nicaragua canal
Mr.. Bryan is Il man of the people as
Abraham Lincoln was a man Of the
people. Lincoln was at first regarded
with great distrust by the conservatives
of the north, just as Bryan has been so
regarded by the same class; but there
is unmistakable evidence that as the
distrust wore itself out in Lincolns
case, so it has done in Bryan's case.

Summer Tillage of Fruits.

This is the time of year when the
trees and plants ore making their fruit
buds for next seasons crop, and the
erswer can aid them very much by
keeping the orchard and small fruit
plantations we'll cultivated Trees
make the most new wood in spring and
early summer, and the shoots will
lengthen 80 little from now on that one
might think they had entirely stopped
growing; but now the more important
work of periecting the new wood and
making fruit buds is going on, This
wrok requires just as much food as the
earlier growth, and as drouths are apt
to come after midsummer, the trees are
apt to suffer unless their owner gives
them high cultivation. Since the air is
dryer than the soil, moisture is con
stantly passing from soil to air Any
thing that will serve as n check to this
loss Of soil moisture is a good thing for
fruitiLg plants. Mulch is good, but it
is impractical to mulch whole orchard
or large strawberry farm. Dust has
been proven a good mulch, and one can
make the soil dust fine by the frequent
use of cultivators. If the orchard is
not planted to other crops spike
toothed harrow is the best cultiyator
cultivator that can be used in it, and,
generally speaking, the smaller the
cultivator teeth the better For fine
tools must be used more frequently
than coarse tools, and frequent tillage
will save the moisture
Weeds and grasses are not of them
selves harmful to cultivated plants, ex-
cept in so far as they use soil moisture
that should be saved to the crops, and
unless the surface of the soil is protec-
ted by dust cover, its moisture is be-
ing as surely lost as though the land
were foul with weeds. AT no season Of
the year is thorough tillage SO import
ant to orchard and frIiting plants as
during the drouth months of August
and September. c. A. KEEPER,
Horticulturist.

an as the New York Evening Post can
find little but praise for his recent
speech at indianapolis, He is the same
Bryan today that he was four years

lucid in his statements, and statesman
like in the array Of his argument. His
friends and followers see no change in

Mr.. Bryan stands today opposed to
perialism, the gold standard and the
trusts. The duty of solving the trust
problem will not deyolve on him, but on
congress. His election will mean sim

LETTER FROM WELLINGTON
Reiterates His Views to a West Virginia
Republican.

$1,000
A Shepherdstown, w. Va, special to
the Baltimore Sun says;
A few days ago Col. Towner Schley,
a we'll known republican of this vicinity
wrote letter to Senator Wellington, of
Maryland, commencing him for his at
titude in regard to the expansion policy
OF President Mckinley and expressing
his intention of also opposing the ad-
mlnistration. Mr. Schley has received
reply from Senator Wellington, in
which he says;
| have fixed conviction that the
policy lately adopted by President Nc
Kinley and his followers is un-Amcri-
can and if followed out will end dis
astrously to the republic. have some
veneration for the constitution and for
the principles upon which the republi-
can party was founded, and for that
reason have declared my opposition to
the reelection of President Mckinley,
who seems willing to cast aside all the
traditions Of the past and have our peo-
pie become people who are seeking
conquest in all the ends of the earth.
While this may be pleasing to some
persons, believe the vast majority of
our citizens are bitterly opposed to
such n policy and will register their op-
position in no uncertain terms at the
coming presidential election. Among
these people there are none who are
more strongly opposed to Mckinley s
course than the Germans. Their vote
will have much to do with the result in
November. In addition to Mckinley S
policy of Imperialism, against which
there is so much feeling, there is also a
recollection among our people of the
treatm' accorded the gallant Schley,
who brought about that magnificent
naval victory for the Americans at San
tiago. Notwithstanding he won this
battle for our forces, the administration
tried in every conceivable way to give
the glory to another and to humiliate
Admiral Schley at every opportunity,
This alone will cost Mckinley many
votes, not only in Maryland, but
throughout the country. The treat
ment Of Admiral Schley is one of the
darkest blets on the record Of the pres
ent administration, and it will have ,o
answer to the people for its action in
attempting to rob him of laurels which
were SO Justly one. Taking it all in al
the Mckinley administration has mu, |
to answer for, and my firm belief is
that defeat viii come TO the republictr
