Our Democratic exchanges,
while felicitating over the fact that
the money on hand for distribution
among the schools of the state is
something over 100000 larger
than ever before, refrain from stat
ing that the whole sum was raised
from the people by taxation. The
funds raised in interest on the certi-
ficates of Indebtedness represents
only SO much increase in the taxa
tion for school purposes, where
as, had the party in power left the
state school funds intact in govern
ment bonds the taxation would be
less. By taxing the people our
Democratic friends can make the
fund for distribution among the
schools as large as they please, but
We do not believe the people will
see any occasion for rejoicing in
the fact that their interest bearing
school funds have been used to pay
off an Indebtedness due to Demo-
cratic extravaganza and a direct
tax substituted instead to raise
money for school purposes.

A Self-Repudiating Party.

A specimen of how the Demo
cratic party is conducted is shown
by the state convention in Ohio.
The national programme of last
year is showed aside. Principles
and candidate alike are abandoned.
Last year the Ohio Democrats were
vociferous fol Bryan and the Kan
sas City platform. Now all is
changed. Something new must be
tried, for the people have emphat-
ically condemned the Democratic
creed and leader of 1896 and 1900.
There was time when the Demo
cratic party represented something
definite, but it has been drifting
about for the last seven or eight
years without rudder or compass.
1t reverses itself without the slight
est ceremony, excommunlcates
Cleveland and Bryan in turn, and
still tries to make thepeople believe
thatit represents something more
than passion for spolls. =
What is called a conservative
platform has been provided in
Ohio. In the Democratic diction-
ary conservative is another word

Diversified Farming.

Nothing offers greater advan-
tages in series of years than di-
versified farming. The diversified
farmer has the advantage of dis
tributing his labor over the whole
year and making all the time count
for something. In this way he is
in a position to make the most of
it. He can begin early and, by
studying his rotation, can keep
busy all the planting season and
when harvest comes he can also
prolong the harvest. The bulk of
the income may be in one or two
crops, but other crops will bring
in small amounts which have cost
but little work and outlay of capi-
tai. Ten or fifteen dollars received
for beans as a side crop is all right:
twenty five to forty dollars more
for flock of turkeys is another
good thing to have. A barrel OF
two of sorghum or several hundred
pounds of honey can be produced
and sold from farm where diver.
sifed farming is carried on and the
production will be something of a
rest and change, rather than actual
tiresomc labor.
A load or two of potatoes Can
always be satisfactorily marketed,
if this is not one of the principal
crops. Butter, eggs and fruits
are always staple products and not
enough Importance is attached to
them as such. The man who is
above making small sales of bis
products will soon find himself fal
above the vocation he is trying to
follow with distinction and profit
to himself. Diversified farming
broadens the intellectual powers,
for it gives the man who follows i,
many things to think about. HI
must keep up a good thinking
along the lines of the various duties
connected with this method OF
farming. There is no time fol
sluggishness. Thought we'll de
veloped will broaden the farmers
citizenship and his family will fee
the exhilarating effects of his in
dustry.-Live Stock Indicator.

John Foxton, who lives near the
Mammoth Mines, gave a bit Of infor-
nation which might be beneficial to
fruit growers. IT is this: Early in the
spring Mr.. Foxton noticed that his
plum trees were literally covered with
caterpillars which were devouring the
tender leaves on the tree and spinning
webs around the limbs of the tree un-
til it seemed to be perfect mass of
web and worms. Procuring piece Of
dynamite powder about two inches
long, he placed a fuse in the end of it
and hung it by a string to limb in
the center of the tree and applied a
Match to the fuse. He stepped off a
few feet aud, after the explosion, was
pleased to see that lie had killed every
caterpillar on the tree, besides every
other insect that was on it's branches.
The explosion did not injure the tree.

4 Democratic Confession.

We have at last been given a
little information regarding the
state school ''fund" from a Demo-
cratic point of view. The Hills
boro Democrat, while it does not
deem our questions regarding the
disposition of a fund that was once
represented by United States bonds,
as deserving of any notice from
Democrats (of course noD what
ever, it, nevertheless, graciously
informs us that these funds have
been applied to the payment Of a
state debt wrongfully saddled upon
the people by the party with which
the Journal affiliates, and that the
Democrats have never denied that
the certificates of indebtedness,
which.now represent all thereis of
the state school fund, are part of
the state debt or that they would
not some time or other be paid off
effe any other of the states just OBJ

Ohio Democrats, in their state
convention last week, ignored
Bryan and the principles of Bryan
ism. Commenting on this action
the Louisville Courier-J Journal
(Dem.) says: cat last the buckeye

up on living issues. MIR. Bryan
has had both his chances and his

will not hold water. His dictation

last year is flung away. The stan
dard bearers name is excluded as a
hoodoo. Ordinarily. it is held that
anational platform remainsin force

Its tendency to commit some glar-

not by any issues that it embraces.

THE FROG Exploded.

At Albany, Mo-, one day last
week the children Of George Nc
Curdy found some dynamite, and
thinking it putty, fed it in small
wads to pet frog which was kept
in the cellar Of the McCurdy
home. The pieces of dynamite
looking like insects, the frog ate
them quite readily, until it has alb
sorbcd quite a number of them.
A large tool box became dislodged
and fell upon the frog, exploding
the dynamite which had been eat
en-. A chisel was driven into the
head of the youngest child by the
explosion, causing his death. An
other child and Mrs. McCurdy, in
the kitchen above, were seriously
hurt, and that part of the hous e
wrecked.

Under the new Democratic re-

the officials of the city, except
those connected with the police de-

in their salaries, because the party

power by its ECONOMY" reduced
the entire Indebtedness of the state
to less than two million dollars,
and would in a year or two more
wipe it out entirely. As for the
debt being of Republican creation,
the editor of the Democrat knows
better even if he does openly mis-
represent the matter. The debt
was larger when the Republicans
took the state government from the
hands Of the Democrats than it was
when the Democrats again took
control. In fact. the Republican
party, in the five years that it was
in power, reduced the states in
debtedness by several million dol
lars more than the Democrats re-
duced it in the succeeding twenty
five years. Another point: Where
did the Democrats get their auth
ority to use the school fund as the
Democrat has stated. The con-
stitution placed restrictions around
that fund which any honest party
would have held inviolate. If the
school fund was applied to the re-
demption Of state bonds, iand no
Democratic organ has had the tenn
Gritty to say that it was so applied,
then what was done with the inn
mense revenue accruing from the
state interest tax levy, which is
raised for the specific purpose of
paying the interest on the state
bonds and for a sinking fund for
their final redemption!
The Democratic party, says the
Democrat, has made the state n
creditor of the school fund, and
that the loan would be replaced
when all the other state obi legations
have been discharged. This is a
fair confession that the funds have
been taken for some purpose, but
with the intention of replacing
them. How are they going to be
replaced: By making the taxpay-
ers 20 down into their pockets and
bringing up the amount. There
is nc other way. In the meantime
the taxpayers must hand over in
terest on the certificates of indebt-
edness at the rate of FIVE and 6 per
cent, perpetually, according to the
disposition the party in power has
shown in the matter at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature.
In throwing our chunks to dis
lodge some Democratic informa-
ton on the subject of the state
school fund, we knocked down
something not looked for. 1t ap-
pears that some years ago Demo
cratic extravaganza in jefferson
County ran that county in debt
several thousand dollars. BY the
special act of Democratic Iegisla-
ture the county was permitted to
borrow enough money from the
county school fund to pay off this
debt. The case is so similar to
that of the state school fund that
there is hardly a distinction. The
only difference being that in the
case of the county the loan has
been replaced. 1t shows, however,
that in a Democratic emergency
not even the county school funds
are free from improper manipula-
ton.
Our Hillsboro contemporary
still evades our question as to what
portion of the states indebtedness
the school funds were applied-to
the redemption of state bonds or
the filling up of hole in the gen.
eral revenue, created by Demo
cratic extravaganza!

noted Missouri bandits who have
been confined in the Saltwater,
Minn., penitentiary for the past
twenty five years, were finally par
doned one day last week and are
now once more free men. Their
last crime was the raid on the

the cashier of the bank was killed,
and as a punishment they were sem
fenced to prison for life. Many
efforts have been made since their
incarceration to secure their par
don, but without success until
lately. 1t is believed that their re-
reformation is complete, and that
they have fully expiated their
crimes.
