MAYOR TAGGART
Is Satisfied that Bryan VIII Curry

indianapolis. August 25.-The funniest
bugaboo in republican circles came today
when the politicians protested to believe
that the Mormons were raising a large
amount of money in Utah to be used in
defeating the re election OF Congressman
Lands In the Ninth district. because he
led the fight In the house against seating
Brigham H. Roberts the Utah congress-
man, and made the speech which merci-
lessly hayed Roberts and his Mormon FOL
IoWinR.
Mayor Taggart, the Indiana member Of
the National democratic committee, to-
day emphasized the interview recently
authorized BY Chairman Martin, OF the
State democratic central committee, CIV
ing assurances that Indiana would go
democratic, He saws:
Il have been careful In getting my
ideas Of the sentiment in Indiana, and
| have been cautious about saying what
would happen, but am now absolutely
sure, from what | now know that Indi-
ana will be safely democratic; That the
democrats will elect six. and possibly
seven. congressmen-~a gain Of three or
four. am not unwilling TO let that
stand as my prediction. The reasons
are uniform in all parts--not In selects
ed spots-and are, frst. that nine-lenths
of the gold democrats will vote the dem
ocratc ticket; second, there are thous-
ands of republicans who do not let all
that Mckinley has done be covered ny
Roosevelt's rough rider hat; and, third,
the Independent voters will all act with
us. | have no fear for Indiana"

Smooth Bromo-orass.

There is just now 80 much interest in
smooth bromo-grass that we feel justi.
fled in giving our readers the substance
of a circular recently sent out by the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Smooth bronze has been known in
Europe for over one hundred and
thirty years. The early agriculturists
did not consider it of any value because
Of its creeping rootstocks, thus re-
sembling the dreaded couch grass. In
1884, however, Stebler and Shroeter
demonstrated by experiments conduct
ed for thirty years at Magocs, Hun
gary, that it had the power to with
stand long periods Of drouth when all
other grasses succumbed.
These experiments resulted IN intro
ducing the grass into cultivation in
Hungary, where it still retains the
name of Hungarian brome-grass. Its
Introduction to the United States must
have taken place about the same time,
for we find the seed is offered for dis
tribution in Bulletin % of the Call
fornia experiment station, issued Nov
5, 1884, and the statement made that
'our experience indicates that it will dc
we'll here, either with or without irriga
tlon." Since then the experiment
stations of Colorado, Minnesota, Mani
toba, North Dakota, South Dakota and
the different grass stations of the agri
cultural department, Washington, d
c., have conducted extensive expert
ments, and all speak of it in the highes
terms.
Smooth bronze grass is native o,
Europe and Asia, ranging from France
eastward into, Siberia, growing along
roadsides, river banks, borders of field
and woods, and upon sterile hillside
and pasturss. It is Q vigorous, hsrdl
