Enterprise in Farming.

The farmer and his farm are said to
be alike; that is, the farm is what the
owner makes it, and it indicates his
characteristics. The main desire of an
enterprising farmer is TO save as much
manure as possible, and it is an old
maxim that the best way TO Judge of
the wori. of n farmer is to observe how
he manages his manure heap. as in the
manure are collected the riches of the
farm. An enterprising farmer viii also
keep his buildings in repair and make
the farm attractive in appearance, but
at all seasons of the year, whenever ar
opportunity Is offered for so doing. he
will give portion of his time TO the
manure heap.

Milking hr Machine.

Men dislike to milk cows and numer-
Gus machines have been invented to do
Ii for them, says Denver Field and
Farm. Most of these machines are fool
ish contrivances and none are real sue
cesses. They are divided into four
classes: Drainers. suckers. squeezers
and suction-squeczers. No machine yet
devised, however. has become a DEM
onstrated success. Some are better
than others. but none have proven de-
sIrable adJuncts to dairy equipment.
Men win continue TO devise. and it Is
not improbable that at some time large
herds may be MIXED by machine. This
opinion has many supporters.

Do Not Neglect the Dairy.

Denmark, one of the most successful
dairy countries in the world, can afford
to buy corn, oil meal and other feed
stuff in the United States, pay freight
on it and then feed to their cows, thus
converting the feed into butter and
place it on the English market where it
outsells our butter from l to 8 cents
pound. Secretary Of Agriculture VIII
son says the people of the United States
should not be so ignorant as to neglect
the dairy industry under such condi-
tons, but rather should improve IT and
profit therefrom.

A President Who Does Not Lead.
The people cannot follow a President
who does not lead: and they cannot
escape the impression that he is him

trade with Porto Rico: he now, In pri-
vate interviews. urges tarif1 between

question which the people arc asking,
which the Presidents best friends and
warmest supporters are asking, and to
which he ought to give an answer as
public and as authoritative as his orig
inal message.
This is not a question for compro-
mise. III ii be true that the President
has not changed his mind but only his
policy. and has reluctantly become an
advocate of Is per cent tariff in or

most serious political mistake. Cues

The National Debt.

! That the So-called new currency law
was enacted for the special purpose of
benehting the moneyed interests of the
country is shown by the rush on the
very first day that it took effect to or
ganiZe new banks under ii. The bonds
which are to be issued for the perpetu-
, alton of the national debt and the ma
tional banks are, of course going to be
taken up almost entirely by the latter,
who will have the privilege of draw
ing the interest on them while at the
same time they will have their full
face value in notes to loan out to bor-
rowers.
| The law is sure to prove good thing
fer the money-lenders simply because
it enables them to draw interest on the
same capital invested from the Govern
ment and from their customers. From
the former they will draw only per
cent, but from the latter they will be
able TO get great deal more, and their
profits in the course of year will be
the envy of even some of those who
have gone into the industrial trusts.
As first proposed. the law was to be
merely declaration that the gold dol
lar is the standard of value-which it
has practically been for years-bu this
feature has been lost sight of almost
entirely. The fact that it saddles the
country with debt amounting to
nearly a billion of dollars for the life
time of generation, so that there will
be an excuse for keeping the national
banks in existence for the same length
of time. is the one thing that is taken
note of, and that stands out conspicu-
ously.
The law is monument to Republi-
can chicanery and ingenuity, 1t pays
the debt the party owed TO the banking
trust for the support given by the lat
ter to Mckinley in 1896. and 1t post

standard bearer. These men are en-
deayoring to stink back again, and
while the Democratic party is too great
to seek revenge, still it would be
criminal blunder and an irretrieyable
error to restore them to the full priv
ileges of membership until they have
demonstrated their contrition by long
period of good works without reward.
1t is the duty of Democratic news
paper to warn the public against these
smen. and expose the fact that they are
leagued together in u conspiracy TO
throw the Demomratic party back into
the clutch of the plutecracy. That cen
spiraey is being perfected by the selfish
and constituencies politicians who dom
mated the party prior to 1896. 1t is be-
ing managed and financed with the
wealth the Whitneys the Lannon'S, the
Benedicts and the DickinSons drew
from the trusts which aim to control
the national administration for their
own mallgn purpose.
The Democratic party knows the
wishes of the people and can and will
crafty them at its national convention.

ments of these rencgades. but the peo

In making forecasts of the COM
ing election we notice that some of
our exchanges are claiming Cal
ifornia, Oregon and Washington
for Bryan. There is not the ghost
of show for Bryan to carry either
of these States. The war with
Spain and the placing of our army
in the Philippines has brought
prosperity (?) to this coast in the
way of spending millions of money
here for supplies, etc. The de-
mand for food, clothes, horses, beef
and transports to carry our soldiers
to Manila has increased immense
ly since war has been carried on
in the Islands, and prices of all
kinds of commodities have risen
correspondingly. Not one voter
in thousand in the three States
named will stop to think on cleo
ton day that if there had been no
war times would have been no
better on this coast than they were
before the last election of presi-
dent, and they were hard enough
then as everybody will remember.
This apparent prosperity in the
country is going to be the hardest
thing Bryan will have to contend
with.

THERE is hardly a doubt that
the Silver Party and the Demo
cratic Party will fuse in Virginia
City on the 9th of next month
when both conventions will be
held there, and that single ticket
will be the outcome of the meeting
of two conventions. In other
words the Democratic party will
absorb the Silver Party and the
latter will cease to exist. 1t is
also nearly certain that F.. G. New
lands will be the nominee for Con-
gress on this consolidated ticket
there will probably not be another
aspirant for the place before the
Silver Convention. Mr.. Newlands
is the logical candidate under these
circumstances. He has allied him
self with the Democratic Party
with the Bryan forces-and it is
but natural that he should have
the nomination from them. For
the past two years his record has
been in line with the policies out
lined by the silver champion, and
it is but right that he should have
the nomination he asks for.
