Coy. TayIor,a Position.

IN holding the fort until all legal re-
sources are exhausted, Gov. Taylor has
the approval of every fair-minded, man
ly American. He has been criticised
for exercising constitutional duty In
case of insurrectlon, on the ground that
no instruction existed. On that point
opinions differ. The State was at the
verge of civil war and the danger still
exists. The Legislature was about to
throw all deliberation to the winds and
declare itself the creator of Governor.
Taylor either had - surrender and
vacate without knowing why, or stick
to his post until the path Of courageous
duty was made clear. 1.-The burdens
that i have had to assume" he says,
"have been most onerous and gladly
would l have escaped them If such a
thing had been possible" That this is
true is perfectly apparent. An office
beset with such cares, hardships and
dangers as that intrusted to Gov. Tay
Tor is endurable only on the ground that
honorable obligations require that 1t be
protected in behalf of the people until
its last legal safeguard is broken down.
In addition to the other burdens of
the office, Gov. Taylor has been de-
nounced by various Democrats as ac-
cessory to the murder of Goebel, and
the detailed facts of the tragedy seem
to be systematically suppressed by the
Goebelites in order to support the
charge Every day Gov. Taylor re-
eeives letters threatening him with as
sassination and at night the guards
around his quarters are fired upon. Yet
he remains where he belongs and is the
Governor of Kentucky until the con-
trary Is absolutely established. He
represents the people and the people
honor him accordingly. Should he be
thrown out, the right OF the people to
ballot goes with him, and should he be
personally injured by the partisan con-
spirators who have bounded him from
the moment, he was nominated he will
be a martyr to the ca use OF popular gov
ernment. Gov. Taylor has done the es-
sential thing, IN the spirit of true,
brave American freeman.-St. Louis

ne People Rememher the vrpst which

fesses to think that everything looks
- though this would be Bryan year."
4e'sayS that thousands Of men who did
not vote for Bryan In 1896 will vote for
himiu 1900. uEight years ago the voters
Or the country sacrificed the prosperity
which tbe1 were enjoying under the
Mckinley fari6 law and elected the
STUFFED prophet or free trade to the
Presidency. Perhaps 1t Is this fact
which leads Ex-Governor Hogg to think
that they Mu go and do likewise In
1900. There certainly Is no other sign
anywhere which would lead a man In
the possession OF his senses to think
that there was even remote POSSIBLE
lty of this being n "Bryan year." But
Governor Hogg, the fact that thspeo-
pie have done thing once is no sure
sign that they will do 1t again. In fact
it is often the surest sign that they
won't repeat,it And that is the way
1t Is In TINS case In 1892 the majority

lurgist and a writer Of promise and an
excellent musician. To bohemian tastes
he Joined marvellous business instincts
and a genius for affairs that has few
parallels. He stayed a year, gagged
the situation and went back to New
York to organize company to operate
In the Butte copper mines. In 1892 he
returned to Montana and Immediately
erected a smelter. At the same time
he secured a lease and bond on the
Glengarry, a mine that had been work
ed by several and abandoned as worth
less. But the Glengarry proved tails
man for Heinze. In thirty days he was
digging therefrom the finest ore in
Butte, and in such quantities that he
had to enlarge his smelling works. He
purchased the Rarus in 1895 for $780,
600, and as luck would have 1t, in few
years the Rarus had developed to $10,-
100000 mine. He went over into Can
ada and purchased valuable mining
property there. All his holdings have
proved rich ones and to-day he is worth
millions.

BaIinp Clover Hay.

1t is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but the experiments
made are not sufficient to show the
benefits derived compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut in
the morning, after it is free from dew
or rain, and when well wilted the hay
tedder is used, so as to give it every
chance to cure. In the afternoon the
hay is baled and hauled to the barn.
If this method is practiced care must
be exercised in having the hay proper
ly cured and in just the proper condi-
ton for baling, as baled clover is more
liable to heat than timothy, or other
kinds. U.f liistsisli " ttssfit'iiiitlb iisiIi'

Sleeping Oats for Horses.

The nutritive power of oats, Herr
Kalff, German agriculturist says,
may be considerably augmented by
sleeping the grain in water before Civ
ing it to horses. This is his plan: He
has three troughs. each of which holds
as much oats as will be required for
one days feeding. The first day the
first trough is filled with oats and water
at a temperature Of degrees G. poured
over it, and the whole mass is well
stirred. The water is left in the trough
about six hours, after which it is
strained off through hole in the bot
tom of the trough. The next day the
operation is repeated in the second
trough, and again on the following day
the third trough. The oats thus steep
ed in hot water get up fermentation,
and at the expiration of forty-eight
hours are ready to be given to the
horses. and will then, according to
Herr Kalff, produce the maximum
nutritive effect.

being nearly one-third higher than the
real one. Instead Of 10 per cent, wages
have risen % per cent. in every branch
Of iron production, including the ore.
During the period named Bessemer pig
advanced from $40 to S24.90 ton, or
nearly $50 per cent. while the price OF
wire nails advanced from 81 40 to $500,
or 12S per cent. Thus 1t Is evident that
the advance in price of wire nails is
due to the advance Of the material out
Of which they are made. A few In
quiries into the causes Of the recent adj
vance in prices of articles alleged to be
made by trusts will make Ii clear that
the rise Is due to the rise in the price
of the materials ont of which the fin

duction. but prices have advanced be-

Pruning in Winter.

Some successful fruit growers hold
that fruit trees should not be pruned
In winter. while others pay little atten-
ton to the season and ''prune when the
knife is sharp" About one point, how
ever, there can be no doubt, and this is
that it is not advisable to prune when
the wood is frozen. Other conditions
being equal, winter pruning is practic-
ed by many for the reason that more
time and care can be given to the work
in winter than is practicable in the
hurry of the spring work. Grapes can
be pruned any time during winter. If
the wood is wanted for propagation, it
should be cut just before the severe
frosts arrive.

The reports concerning sweet corn
for silage are quite conflicting, says
Hoards Dairyman. Some say that it
has tendency to make a very sour
silage, and others claim that it is as
unobjectionable In this respect as any.
If we had the sweet corn growing, we
would not hesitate to put 1t in silage,
but we would not plant it especially
for this purpose; neither would we
plant Kaffir corn for silage when the
ordinary maize grows to perfection,
Kaffir corn is especially adapted for
semi-arld climates because Of its
drought resisting capacity. We are
not aware that teosinte has ever been
tried in the silo, but alfalfa has been,
and successfully so, especially in Cali

at $1.50 in 1898 and at $4.35 in 1890,
when the advance in wages had been

OF attention, because the same state
ment is made in antitrust speeches all

Loss of Grain.

A hole in the granary, through which
the grain would be lost, would not be
allowed to exist very long after its dis
covery. A hole in the stable. through
which the cold air enters and chills the
animals, causes loss of grain just as
surely as the hole in the granary, as
more food will be required to assist the
animals in maintaining warmth. 1t is
the things that are unobserved which
sometimes cause loss. When the fow
of milk is reduced, or the animals do
not make gain proportionately to the
food allowed, there is always a cause,
and il should be sought. u.

REPUBLICANS MEET AND MAKE
40 da.i SPEECHES. o~ sa1
Gov. Pingree, Timothy L. Woodruff,
M Gov. Nash, Gov. shaw and Other
u Leaders Celebrate Gen. Washington's
! birthday Anniversary.

Detroit correspondence:
The fifteenth annual banquet Of the
Michigan Club brought a greater number
of party leaders OF the State together IN
Detroit than has been the case for years.
This was due mainly to the fact that
larger field OF candidates for State offices
is in existence than history records before
in party ranks. Over q score opened
headquarters in the various hotels and
kept dactive corps Of lieutenants busy
among the hundreds Of politicians pres
ept. Thisiwas particularly true of the SIX
candidates for nomination for Governor.
4 Several striking ovatiOns were given to
the stars who appeared at the banquet,
but the enthusiastic reception accorded to
Timothy l.. Woodruff, Lieutenant Gov
ernor of New York, fur outshone all 9TH
err features of the occasion. Introduced
as the probable candidate of the great
pivotal State Of New York for the high
office Of Vice President of the United
States. Mr.. Woodruff stood mute before
a long-continued storm of applause such
as would have easily upset the equanim-
ity OF less sturdily poised person than
the brilliant and aggressive young New
Yorker. Maj. Gen. Shafter, Cows. Nash
Of Ohio, Shaw Of Iowa and Pingree of
Michigan all received welcomes second
only to that Of Woodruff.
More than 500 Republicans sat at the
annual feast. The galleries were filed
with spectators. The big armory was
gay with patriotic decorations. Wash
ington's portrait had the most conspicu
GUS place Pictures of President Nc
Kinley, Admiral Dewey and Gems. Shat
ter and Alger were suspended from the
gallery fronts. A score of well-known
Republicans, including the speakers, pass
ed across the hall at the outset, headed
by the POSTMASTER, ex-United states
Senator John Patton, Jr., arm in arm
with Lieut. Coy. Woodruff.
The committee located the spring state
Republican convention at Detroit on May
B.. During the day Gen. Russell A. Al
ger gave reception to the Michigan
Clubs guests, which was very largely
attended and was much in the nature Of
an ovation to the general himself. The
candidacy of William III. Elliott of De-
troit for the Michigan membership of the
Republican national committee came to
the front, and during the day Lieut.. Gov.
Woodruff Of New York State, the Platt-
Roosevelt candidate for Vice-President,
held an impromptu reception at the Rus-
sell House. ~
The banquet in the evening was at
tended by at least twelve hundred politi-
clans. Senator John Patton, Jr., OF
Grand Rapids acted as postmaster. Gov.
Pngree delivered the welcoming address
as his final appearance as Governor be-
fore the club.
