Hanna Is Boss.

The meeting of the Republican con-
vention in Columbus, Ohio, develops
the fact that Hanna has a tirmer grip
on the politics of the State than ever
before. All opposition to the big boss
faded away, or was brushed aside. with
ridiculous ease, and himself and
friends are able to dictate to the pcO-
pie of that State. Senator Foraker
is backed by the big machine, AID
there can be no doubt THAI the coming
election will consist merely of going
through the motions Senator FoTak-
er, who was selected as temporary
chairman of the convention, outlined
the issues of the coming struggle. 1t
is significant to note that the building
up Of a merchant marine was one of
the things witch the Senator believes
will come in the rear future. This can
mean nothing but that the shipping
subsidy bill will te pUrAcd dH":as the
coming session of Congress, in sc,,so 1
and out of season, until it is forced
through. This is one of the things
which the Ohio Republicans are Will
ing to stand for. Senator Foraker ex-
pressed his horror that the people
should think of adopting any Of the
reforms which the Democratic party
suggests. The policy of the admins
tration in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines is just and r.~It 1t is Il part of
the great Republican policy OF govern
ment, without which the Republic is
bound to collapse, i IS worthy Of no
tice that Senator Foraker said roth
ing about the sultan of Sulu and lis
government, which IS now part of the
government of the United States. He
did not attempt to explain what was
meant by criminal aggression" three
years ago. He did not attempt to har-
monte with our Porto Rican policy
the declaration Of the President as to
what constituted our plain duty" He
had nothing to say regarding the con
troll Of the trusts or the commercial
wars, in which our perniciOus protec-
ton policy has involved us in Europe
He kept away from all such dangerous
topics, and the burden of his song was
that Republicanism is the only true
god and Mark Hanna is it's prophet.
The policy outlined by the Ohio lead.
ers means Dingleyism, protection of the
trusts, defeat of reciprocity, the pass

revival Of a number of other meas

which for political reasons, had to be

gress. Well, all this is good. Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad, and for this reason it is a hope

Alfalfa for Horses.

Concerning the action of alfalfa hay
on horses, n farmer says in Breeders

l have had experience in raising horses
from birth to sale, from youth to age,
on alfalfa pasture and hay, except may
be giving them some variety in winter

in harness, and my horses are noted for
their size. strength and beauty. l sold

years old, weighing 100 and $500
pounds, that did not know the taste Of

times, exclusively on alfalfa to the per-
feet satisfaction Of the owners. have

Commission Produce Dealers.

If we were so situated that we could
not do better with perishable fruits
and vegetables than to ship them to
the city to be sold on commission, we
would try to find a dealer who had only
commission business, and who never
bought goods outright. Poor human
nature is weak, and the temptation to
sell the goNds that had been bought.
While they tere in their best condition.
and to allO consigned goods to waste
and deteriO e in value until their own
goods Wer 'ispOsed of, might prove
too strong some of them. Possibly
one who $ ed by the carload might
be used b because of the impor-
tance of his trade, but small shippers
are apt to be the sufferers. If prices
fall rapidly during the day the report
sometimes shows the consignment clos
ed out at the lowest quotations, regard
less of the time when they were sold.
Commission dealers may be as honest
as any other class of men, but as we
pray that we may not be led into temp
tatiOn, we think it is better not to
tempt others too much.-American Gull

For Destroying Grasshoppers.


BY all odds the best method for de-
strOying grasshoppers after they be-
come half grown is the use of the
hopper dozer," or kerosene pan, which
is shown herewith This is made of
stOvepipe iron by turning up The sides
and ends about four inches 50 as to
make a long, fiat pan about four inches
in depth. This is then mounted on
runners varying in height according to
requirements. On the frame back Of
the pan is stretched n piece of cloth to
prevent the insects from jumping over
the pan. When ready to begin work,
the pan is partially filled with water
and some coal oil is added. If the
ground is level. RIO crOsspieces are nee
essary, but if the pan is to be used on
slipping ground 1t should be made as in
dictated in the illustration to prevent
the oil and water from running to one
end. The height of the runners will
necessarily vary from two to eight or
ten inches, according to the crop to be
protected and the age of the insects 10

any length desired up to sixteen or

The Ohm Cannairn

All factions of the Democratic party
We're represented in the State Conven-
ton of the Ohio Democracy, which met
recently at Columbus and nominated
Col. James Kilbourne for Governor.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland,
showed that he is power in Ohio poll
tics by securing the incorporation in
the platform Of ''planks" relating to
the taxation of corporations, including
steam and electric railroads, and also
in respect to home rule in municipal
affairs. 1t has long been alleged in
Ohio that corporations in that State
escape taxation, thus increasing the
burden of owners of real estate. The
platform adopted provides that steam
and electric railroads and other cor
shall be assessed in the same proper
tion to their salable value as are farms
and city real estate" This year the
Democrats of Ohio intend to make
their fight largely on State issues. The
platform is, therefore, notable for it's
failure to reafirm the last national
platform of the party. 1t contains no
allusion to the Presidential nominee
of the National Democracy last year,
but touches upon several subjects of
national interest, including trusts and
the tariff. In 1899 the Republican can
didate for Governor was elected al
though he received about 10000 votes
less than the combined votes Of the
Democratic candidate and the Social
ist-Labor candidate - Golden Rule
Jones'" the Mayor of Toledo. In 1900
the Republicans elected their candidate
for Secretary Of State by an over
whelming majority. The Democrats
of Ohio are always ready for a fight,
