BRYAN ON PARTYPolrcBEs,

Mr.. VIM. J.. Bryan has given few
ideas as to how Democratic harmony
may be achieved. His speech is too
long for publication in full butthe fol-
lowing is synopsis made by the Balti-
more Sun. We Commend the senti-
ments to those who think harmony
can be evolved by Grover Cleveland:
There can always be harmony among
Democrats who believe in govern
ment OF the people. Differences of the
mind can be reconciled; differences of
purpose cannot. Between one who is
at heart an aristocrat and one who is
In reality democrat there is a great
gulf fixed.
Democratic success must be won not
by initiating the Republican party, but
by exposing 1t. To attempt to patch
up an apparent harmony between
those who are not in sympathy with
Democratic purposes is not only q
waste OF time, but would prove disas
trous.
The Democratic party must have a
controlling purpose, unchanged by VIC
tory or defeat. The people will not
trust party that is willing to write
into its platform today anything that
promises to catch few votes or strike
out OF its platform tomorrow anything
that will ALLEVIATE few votes.
The defeat of 1894 was due to the
fact that the Administration had de-
serted the people on the money ques-
ton. In 1895, in spite of the detection
OF many formerly conspicuous in its
councils, the Democratic party polled
,OO0, 600 more votes than ever before
and would have won but for the indie
fensible methods Of the Republican
party.
Trusts have fourished under tho
Republican administration, and no leg
islative attempt has been made to in
terfere with them.
The interests of the producers of
wealth on the farm, in the factory and
in the mines have been utterly ignor-
ed, and the small business man left to
such precariOus existence as the trusts
permit him to enjoy.
The Democratic party must make an
honest, straightforward appeal to the
American people upon a platform that
can be understood and with an organ.
ization that can be trusted.

which IS known as Marcus Island. The
island bears great quantities Of guano
and Captain Rosehill believing himself
to be its discoverer, determined to re-.
turn and exploit the guano, but for
some reason failed to do SO for a con.
siderable time. He has now sailed for
the island, but meantime the Japanese
government has learned Of his inten-
tiOn and has sent a war vessel to pro-
tect the rights of certain Japanese citi-
zens who set up claim to the island.
The State Department feels certain
that 1t can protect the rights of Cap
tain Rosehill if he does not resort to
violence in his efforts to assert his own
claim but if he resists the Japanese au-
thorities it is more than probable that
the affair will grow into serious COM
plications which will involve the cor
dial relations which have always ex-
listed between the United States and
that country.
1t generally believed that President
Roosevelt In planning an extensive
western trip this fall, and In request
ing his Cabinet officers to speak from
the platform in support of his admin.
istration. is following the inspiration
of President Cleveland who secured
the nomination of his party in the
face Of opposition of the democratic
leaders. 1t is believed that Mr.. Roose-
velt clearly appreciates the efforts
which are being covertly, but not less
surely made. to prevent his nomina-
ton for second term and that he
relies on his ability to capture popular
sentiment to force the republican lead
ers to nominate him in 1904. The
President has frankly avowed his de.
sired to securing the nomination to
succeed himself and careful scrutiny
Of the callers at Oyster Bay during bis
will reveal the care with
which he is laying his plans and the
effort he is making to establish himself
in an impregnabIe position.
Friends Of the President take great
pride in what they call "the list of the
viz: tho roster OF the Con-
gressmen who opposed the President g
Cuban policy, and who have failed of
for Congress or at least
of endorsement by their own party.
The list now includes three senators
and eight representatives.

TONS OF COAL.

According to the Geological Survey
during the fiscal year ended June 81
last there were produced In this coun
try 26l ,521, 433 long tons of coal, valued
at $34S. 773 ,O39. or 20, 555, 51e tons more
than during the preceding year.
The report gives the total production
for the year In the State OF West Viz
ginia as "a, 056.39S short tons, with a
spot value of $40, 1886, 1870.
1.-The production in West Virginia
shows an increase of 1. 4O9, 191 tons, or
81 per cent. in amount, and of 81, 49,
300, or Is per cent. in value. The re-
cord OF West Virginia as coal prOduc-
ing State is one without parallel in the
history OF our development. During
the last 81 years there has been only
one instance in which the production
OF West Virginia was less than that of
the preceding year. This was in 1895
and was due to two causes: One was
the general strike which prevailed in
the Pocahontas region, and which re-
suited in a decrease of 1,15O,0O tons
in the counties of Mcdowell and Mer.
Ger, and the other was the general
business depression which effected the
coal mining industry and all industries
in every State during that year. Net
Withstanding the loss Of / ,15O, 900 tons
in Mcdowell and Mercer counties, and |
the general depression, the coal produc-
ton of the State decreased in that year
only 240, 900 tons. During the p years
that the history of coal production has
been recorded the coal production of
West Virginia has increased on an
average of over 1000, 900 tons a year.
Notwithstanding its decreased produc-
ton In 1895 West Virginia in that year
exceeded the output of Ohio, which up
to that time held third place as coal
producer. Since that time West Viz
ginia has been gradually approaching
Illinois, which ranks second to Penn
sylvania, but has not fulfilled predic-
lion made some years ago that by the
beginning of the present century West
would rank next to Pennsyl-
7ania as coal-producing State" ~

Republican fights in West Virginia
continue to occur, though none are
quite 30 bad as the one In Mercer coun-
ty a short time ago when pistols were
drawn. But up about Parkersburg
things are lively and some Democrats
will likely be elected as result.

Hens on ~ SmnIl Lot.

We are often asked If 1t is possible
to keep hens successfully on small
town lot. 70 the question we would
answer: Certainly, yes; If not too
many are kept. In fact. we have of
ten wondered why so lew people in
cities and towns, who are really so
comfortably situated, do not keep 10
or Is hens.
This number can easily he provided
for in yard 90 by 40 feet, and this
much can easily he spared and still
leave plenty of room for other pur-
poses. One roll of five-foot poultry
netting will serve for fence, and ar
rangements for housing will cost but
a trile.
Two piano boxes, with backs taken
out and set against each other will
keep them comfortable. and, in the alb
sence of something better, will do sur
prislngly well. During the late fall
buy early hatched pullets or one-year-
old hens, and look carefully after
them, and they will supply the family
with eggs throughout the winter
1t will he an easy matter next spring
to raise a few broods of chicks. the
males for the table and the pullets for
the layers. You will find the cost very
little and the pleasure very much If
