CONGRESSIONAL
Mr.. Tillmsns Charges.

WASHINGTON. - Especially For
more than six hours the Senate had
the PHILIPPINE tariff bill under discus
zion. Mr.. Bate. Democrat, Of Tennes-
see, delivered carefully prepared
speech in opposition to the measure.
II was followed by Mr.. Spooner, Re
publican, of Wisconsin. In a brilliant
defense of the Republican attitude to-
ward the Philippine islands. He be-
came involved frequently in heated
colloquies with members OF the minor
fly. He concluded with an appeal TO
Congress to stand by the policies OF
Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Mr.. Tillman, Democrat. OF South
Carolina, began a characteristic ar
raignment Of the administration in the
Philippines, but had not concluded
when the Senate adjourned
Mr.. Spooner denounced the substi-
tute proposition made by the minority
of the Senate committee on the Phil
ippines as the "most mischievous pro-
iect that could be advised by the wit
OF man in the present state of affairs.
Mr.. Tillman declared that the ex-
preston of the motives for enactine
the bill were a subterfuge and hum
bug, and everybody knew it. He as
serted that this government in lite
treatment of the Fillpinos had re-
turned to the policy of Great Britain,
which mad been overthrow by oul
forefatkers at Yorktown. ut was" he
Caid, "a damnaDle doctrine"
He charged that the American au
thorities in the Philippines were
steering clear" of the provinces In
the islands where war was real and
pressing and were combining them
selves to those places where oppor'
tunity was affected to secure "pelf'
and to rob the people.

DUTY OF POPULIsTS.
INSIDE HISTORY OF THE CAMPAIGN
OF 1892.
Democratic National Committee Ad-
vised the Members of tho Party to
Vote for Populist ,EieCtors--Labor
Element In Politics.

Some weeks ago The Commoner pub
lished an editorial in which reference
was made to the fact that in the cam
paign of 1892 the Democratic national
. committee advised the Democrats of
Nebraska to vote for the Populist cleo
tors. My attention has been called to
the fact that the statement has been
proof demanded. For the benefit cf
those who are skeptical, the following
extract is published from letter sent
out by James E. Boyd, then governor
of the state of Nebraska, since then
one of the prominent members Of the
gold contingent of the Democratic
party:
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 17.-(Personal
and confidential. Dear Sir: l have
just returned from the east, where |
was honored by a consultation with
the national committee and leading
men Of our party with regard to the
best policy to be pursued In Nebraska
this fall in dealing with the electoral
ticket, and they agreed with me that
the wisest course would be for Demo-
Gratis to support the Weaver electors;
tn object being to take Nebraska out
of her accustomed place in the Repuj-
lican column.
Information has reached me that a
number of independents who were
formerly Republicans contemplate
voting for the Harrison electors. With
the Republican strength thus aug
mented It would be impossible for the
Democrats to carry their own electors
ticket to victory. 1t Is therefore the
part of good judgment and wise action
for Democrats to support the Weaver
electors in as large numbers as pos
sible. For Democrats to do this is no
abandonment Of principle; on the cou-
trary, it Is a definite step toward nc
tory and the ultimate triumph OF
Cleveland and Stevenson, and the
principles they represent.
1t may be added that in the spring
of 1893 the committee of United States
senator's intrusted with the Oversight.
of the senatorial contests in the vari-
GUS states approved Of the combina-
ton which resulted in the election of
Senator w. V. Allen, Nebraska Popu-
list.
1t was not until the Populists came
to the rescue of the Democratic party
in 1896 that they became so odious to
the gold Democrats, and the reason
for this antipathy is found in the fact
that the Populists supported the Demo-
cratic ticket when the gold Democrats
went over to the Republican party

Salaries OF Omcial.

Propositions to raise Washington
salaries will generally be regarded
with suspicion. The explanation that
the officials are sacrificing large private
interests to accept low salary from
the government has been stretched tc
the limit The fact Is that compare
lively few men can earn $4,000 yeaI
in the law or in any other profession
Almost any town could entertain COM
fortably convention of those earn
ing more than this amount. With a
few conspicuous exceptions the office
holders in Washington are paid liber-
ally. The country sees no occasion for
the flood of bills to increase salaries.

A Bond OF Sympathy.

? Germany and the United States are
down" with the same complaint. Both
have trust-breeding tariffs, and both
have producers who will sell dear al
home and cheap abroad. The British
consumer buys German iron or Ger.
man sugar on much better terms thar
the German consumer does. The Ger
man consumer very naturally is becom'
ing indignant. He does not see why
he should be robbed in order to benefit
either the producers at home or the
consumers of the Dingley sort. He
wants indirect robbery taxation stop
ped. This is point to which the
American people are coming.

out: Don't reduce the duties on

the perilous tariff question:" Another
set of leaders vehemently declare: I'VE

we shall run the risk Of a certain
break in the tariff wall" Both Of the
contending factions are intent upon
saving the sacred tariff, and while
they bicker time flies and nothing is
done one way or the other. In the
meantime the pledged faith of the gov
eminent stands unredeemed and its
plain duty neglected.

sent out by the press which is being
manipulated in the interests of free

Corn Smut.

ington, years ago fed forty pounds Of
corn smut to two cows without ill eff
fects, says w. A. Henry in Breeders
Gazette More recently the depart
ment Of agriculture fed corn smut to
sheifers likewise without i'll effects. At
the Michigan station Smith fed corn
smut to four cows. The maximum
daily allowance reached eleven pounds
Of smut per COW. When this allowance
was reached, one cow showed indispo-
siton for time, but soon returned to
normal health. At the Wisconsin sta.
ton the writeI fed carefully cleaned
smut to two cows When the allow
ance reached thirty-two ounces per
day, one COW refused to eat more. The
other COW continued to eat more and
more until she was consuming sixty
four ounces per day and was fattening

It is certain that under ordinary con-

quantities of smut In the stalkfelds

The cost Of growing corn, cutting Il
and putting it in the silo has been yari
ously reported at almost all figures
from 81 to S. per ton, says American
CuldvatGr. We do not doubt but thai
It has been done for the smaller sum
when the land has been made rich and
well cultivated and the most modern
improvements were at hand to do the
work. but we think a fair average
would be nearer double that with the
ordinary farmer even in a. favorable
season. But there are not many who
would like to grow roots for feeding tt
] stock at that price. Certainly we know
8of none who would grow them to sell
at that price, and few would care tG
grow them at 81 per ton if they coulG
grow other crops and find ready casE
market for them. AS regards the value
#of them, an average of the various
roots shows that the same amount OF
each fed with equal rations of hay anG
grain resulted a little in favor of the
roots, but this was more than offset By
the two facts that the roots cannot be
kept in as good condition for late
spring or summer feeding as can the
ensilage and that there is more apt tc
be crop failure from drought or othel
causes with the roots than with the
corn. The droughts Of the two pass
years have led many to believe that
