Brave Words Indeed.

on the question OF the suffrage, II
for no other reason, the Maryland
Democrats deserve to be defeated this
year, as they were year ago. Their
position is wholly mischievous and to-
tally indefcnsible. This is what they
solemnly declare:
1.-THE Democratic party represents
more than 10000 majority OF the white
people of Maryland. They, in common
with their brethren of other states, in
have been injected into the body po-
litic, recognize that peace, good order,
personal safety and proper develop.

upon the control of the commonwealth
by its intelligent white residents
Without the aid of the GO,OOO colored
voters, the Republican party in Mary
land would be a hopeless minority.

proclaim that the success OF the Demo.
cratic party will mean that, while we
shall deal with perfect fairness in Sc.
curing all the benefits of good govern
ment and full and free opportunities
for education to all classes, such ac.
ton must be taken as to prevent the
control of the state government from
passing into the hands of those who

BAR ASSOCIATION
CLOSES ITS SESSION

Denver. Aug. 24.-The final session
OF the American Bar Association Mt
the Tabor was well attended ycster-
day morning and the business brought
before the meeting was quickly dis
patched. An adjournment was taken
ut 12 o'clock.
Secretary Hinkley announced Mt thc
opening of the session that the ut
tendance this year was far greater
than in any previous year. being 81
members in attendance. He said that
the next largest attendance was in
1S0G, when the meeting was held mt
Saratoga, when Lord Russell was the
guest of the association. He reported
further that the membership was
swelling gradually and predicted n
most prosperous future.
A resolution was adopted thanking
the Colorado and Denver Bar Associa-
tions, the various clubs of the city, the
ladies', the state and city officials, the
railroad officials, the press, and all
who extended courtesies to the dele
gates during the meeting. The reso-
luton also recited the fact that the
Denver meeting will always be con-
sidered. one of the most enjoyable In
the history of the association.
The association then proceeded to the
election of officers. U. NJ. Rose of Lit
tie Rock. Arkansas, was elected presi-
dent. There were some requests made
for an election by ballot, but the meet
Ing was not standing much on cere-
mony. A motion was finally made to
empower the secretary to cast one bal
lot for the election Of president. The
other officers named by the nominating

Death Rate In Colorado.

Washington, Aug. 23.--Accordlng to
n bulletin issued by the census office,
the death rate of Denver has decreased
from twenty-three per cent. in 1880 to
1876 per cent. in 1900. The number of
deaths reported in the latter year was
24Si. The death rate of Leadville is
shown to be 2S.2 per cent. and that of
Pueblo % per cent. The total number
OF deaths in Colorado for 1900 was T.
42S, in Wyoming TG7, and In New Mex
leo 2,674. Mortality statistics during
the census year in the states and ter
rhories and the principal registration
cities show that the total number Of
deaths reported for the year was 1,O3O,-

An Iowa Republican convention Is
Interesting to the brethren In other
states. because the party has II way of
backing up Its nominations nj the polls

incumbent. Governor Shaw. had $1,000
votes to sparc In 1888. and Mckinley
led Bryan In the state by 5000 In
1896 and $500 In 1860.
Perhaps the Republicans OF Iowa
somewhat oycrdo the matter In the
size or their maJoriiies. As Senator
Thurston OF Nebraska said yesterday.
"It Is the three great and sometimes
doubtful states OF Indiana. Ohio and
New York that are likely TO exert the

doubtful about Iowa: but the prom!-

A Commoncr Party

There will be n great gathering up of
the political odds and ends which have
been bestirring themselves in one state
or another when the convention that is
to form "Commoner" or columbian"
party meets at Kansas City in Sep
tember. If number of organizations
and variety of creeds which are to Co
alesce in n single national party and n
single declaration of faith count for
anything it will be quite n showing
The two brands of Populists, the Pub

cordial American reception. The
steamship on which he was n passcn-

the old boat during the trials on the
other side was certainly five to ten
minutes faster than when she raced
In America in 1899. At any rate we
expect to make n good race against the
American cup defender, whether she
be the Constitution or the Columbia.

FEED1xG THE CORN FODDER. "A

?
The question of paramount INTEREST,"
10 hundreds of men all through the
country just now is how to most eco-
nomically and profitably feed the large
amount of corn fodder which has BEEN
secured. The best way to use corn
fodder Is in the silo, but that method
will not fit this case. The next best
method, having in mind the economy
of handling, is to haul the fodder and
scatter on a clean blue grass pasture,
letting the fatting steers have the first
feed from it and then let the stock
cattle and horses finish it up. The
next way is to haul from the field and
stack in narrow stack, shredding later
on when the weather is cold and dry.
While it is true that most of the ears
can be removed by hand from the
bundle without untying or breaking 1t,
this is an awfully tedious job where
one has forty or fifty acres of corn.
AS we note it, there is no method out.
side of the sllo to avoid a waste of
from 25 to 80 per cent in feeding corn
fodder of the average field corn sort.
This waste is present where the fodder
is shredded just the same as where 1T
is not, though in perhaps lesser de-
gree. Where corn is planted thickly,
especially for fodder, it is best fed
right from the bundle.
