American history has evidently made
no impression upon William J. Bryan
and those associated with him, if he
had any associates, in framing the
Democratic national platform. For
every line and phrase Of it is instinct
with a profound distrust of the capac-
ity Of the American people for self-gov-
ernment. 1t is pervaded with a
strange and gloomy lack of faith in
their love Of liberty, in their attach
iment to free institutions and the prin.
.ciples Of free government and in their
competency to maintain them. .-Pionee1

ONE of the indications of the popu-

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Secretary Root who is deeply inter-
ested in the future of Cuba, said on
the subject: my own experience in
Cuba leads me to believe that the de-
sire for independence is both strong
and general among the people. I do
not think they want annexation, even
supposing that we want them. Under
the congressional declaration, we are
in honor bound to give them indepen-
dence first. If, subsequently,, they
wish annexation, that is a matter for
them to determine. But it should be
determined when they are in posi-
tion absolutely independent of US.
Even then it is case where it takes
two to make 3 bargain" Gen. Wood
is now on his way to Washington to
consult with Secretary Root about the
preliminaries for the Cuban Constitu-
tional Convention, soon to be held

DEMOCRATIC BLUFFERS,

p There was buffer once who told
all winter how much hay he could cut
and then in the summer he ROM

the Democratic party is strong on how
we'll it could govern the Philippines.
It always makes failure of running
the United States, but it wants to be
placed in power in order to give the
Filipinos better administration than
the Republicans will. Democratic con-
troll in the South shows that that party
knows just how to effectually govern"
the colored man, and it is doubtless on
that record they wish authority over
the little brown people in the Philip
pines.-Liule Falls Transcript.

A Democrat explains that the main
objection to Mr.. Towne as candidate
for the vice presidency was the fact
that he had never taken out his Sec

has not been sufficiently explicit. He

THE IMPERIALISTIC PILL.


It is very hard to convince our Ger
man voters that the maintenance of an
army, even OF 100000 men, recruited
wholly by voluntary enlistments and
used only for the. establishment of
liberty and order, is militarism such
as that which they left Germany to
escape, with it's conscription and forced
long term of service. And it is equally
hard to make a sound-money German
swallow a free-silver pill coated with
anti-imperialistic glucose by way of
sugar. He likes the coating as little
as he likes the pill. At least that is
the testimony of newspaper interviews
with Germans all over the country

by their agents chosen by them at

their president every four years and
their congress every two. And they

The latest authentic snake story is
from North Glenwood Farm, near
Easton, one of the country places in
Talbot county, Nd. The other day a
big black snake was seen emerging
from an ice pond. 1t was killed. A
protuberance was noticed about the
middle. The snake was chopped in
two, and a porcelain turkey nest egg
rolled out. Captain Noble Robinson
was tenant on the farm last year. Mrs,
Robinson raised turkeys, using china
eggs in their nests. She says that IA
months ago she missed the pest egg
from q nest near the ice pond. She
supposed a boy who had the range Of
the meadow had taken 1t. When the
egg from the snake was shown to Mrs.
Robinson, she identified ii as one she
had lost by q certain incised mark
upon 1t. The snake had carried the
china egg II months in his vermiform
appendix, apparently without appendi-
citis. But he must have thought very
hard of it and that it was very singular
that it could not be dlgested.

mouth and throat from dust, just as
you want a swallow or two from the
spring between meals. Then there Is
the excellent practice, not so common
as 1t should be, of using n sponge and
water freely, especially on the parts Of
the horse covered by the harness, at
the close of the days work. One can
scarcely imagine the comfort the
cleansing of these parts gives to the
horse, as well as the washing out OF
mouth and nostrils and the sponging
of his neck and head.
The chief discomforts of the horse,
however, are found in the dark and
poorly ventilated stables and especially
on hot summer nights. The illustra-
tion shows how stables with door and
windows can be arranged to provide
good light and ventilation without ad-
mitting flies or mosquitoes and all at
small expense. AS a rule stables are
too dark.
The illustration of the barn door, Fig.
!, shows that the door Is made In two
parts, plan of construction quite pop
ular in some sections. The screen
frame is made of inch stuff and Is
about three inches wide, braced at the
corners. Upright pieces of the same
material are screwed on as shown in
the illustration. The distance apart
these upright pieces should be placed
depends upon circumstances whether
there is danger from thieves or If the
horse should get loose in the stable,
breaking the netting with its head. In
such cases the upright strips should be
placed closer together, otherwise four
over the space will be ample. The
wire cloth or netting is used, which can
be bought at hardware stores at 2
cents square foot, and varies In
width from IS inches up. The screen
Is made to swing inside and is bolted
when closed. The upper half of the
door proper swings out In most cases
and can be fastened to the side of the
barn with hook and staple. In the
event of a strong wind or rain storm
this door can be closed and bolted from
the inside without removing the
screen.
Fig. 2 shows how the same plan Of
screening the windows may be carried
out. Most barn windows are made to
slide, so that in this case the screen is
also made to slide, but In the opposite

ANGORA GOATS.
Grcut brush Exterminators and 'atN
Cash Profit.

AS there is at present quite a boom
in Angora goat farming all over the
United States, which will no doubt
very much increase the hitherto only
limited interest in this kind OF 1--we
stock, the following from n writer IN
Country Gentleman is Of interest: For
brushy pasture land, If at an elevation
of from 400 to 800 feet above the sea
in the northern part of the Union e
minimum of 1000 feet In the southern
states, one can find no better paying
live stock than a good class Of Angoras.
Their meat is, If properly fattened. as
far above that of the ordinary goat as
that of the Shorthorn steer is above
the old Texas longhorn. 1t is superior
to mutton, because, while being fully
as juicy as Southdown meat, 1t has not
that excess of grease so much COM
planned of with all kinds OF mutton.
AS brush exterminators they haven't
their equal, and as bushes and trees
draw more from the lower parts Of the
soil than grasses and weeds goats will
improve brushy land much quicker
than sheep Though sheep eat brush,
they eat it only in small quantities and
