DEMOCRATS WILL BOLT

Brother Casper, editor of the Butler
County Press. as everybody knows, has
been one of the democratic wheel
horses" ever since the pebbles were
deposited on the Nebraska hill tops.
Once in. a while he gives his party
some sage advice and very often val
liable information, Of which the fol-
lowing is sample:
'The Fremont Herald-Leader
says Mr.. Bryan is too good a
democrats to bolt-provided, etc.
Well we'll, that may be, but we
cannot understand where Mr..
Bryan's democracy would find any
standing room on Cleveland
platform. Why follow the Cleve-
land outfit to get republican meas
ures? If Mr.. Bryan should ever
make a speech in favor of that
trust-snpporting outfit there isn't
a yellow dog in Nebraska that
would be mean enough to bark at
him. If, with free passes and
Doodle the reorganizers capture
the next democratic convention
the people will bolt, whether Mr..
Bryan does Or not
Mr.. Casper should have added to
that the advice that Mr.. Bryan's fol-
lowers so declare everywhere now,
and without any further waiting.

The republican imperialists in the
territories here in the United States
are being forced to take the medicine
they administered to the Filipinos and
Porto Ricans. A lot of fraudulent
bonds were issued in Pima and Santa
Cruz counties, Arizona. The case was
litigated and taken up to the supreme
court of the United States where the
bonds were declared fraudulent and
void. AS the constitution, under i'm
perialism, does not apply to territor-
les and congress has authority to pass
any kind of a law concerning them or
set any kind of a government over
them. So the thieves who held the
bonds got congress to pass a law COM
polling the scattered population in
those countries to pay the bonds, not
withstanding the supreme court had
declared them fraudulent and void
Now the republicans down in those
counties don't think that Imperialism
Is such good thing as Beveridge,
Mark Hanna and the rest Of them say
it is. .sx skg,

SMALL BANKS AND BIG TRUSTS

Burns remarked that ''the best laid
schemes of mice and men gang aft
agley," and the trust magnates have
found 1t to be true. They combined
a great many industries into one and
thought that the head Offices being in
New York, the credits that they need
ed would necessarily have to be OBJ
tanned from the New York banks.
That being settled, they took stock in
those banks and were going to force
the country banks to send the money

there, heretofore loaned to the local
concerns which had been gobbled up
by the trusts. In that way they would
run the Industries and control the
c.edit of the whole country. They
considered that scheme "a sure thing"
The discussion of money and banking
brought about by the organization Of
the populist party had forced some
ideas into the heads of western and To-
cal bankers. Besides that they had
cnce trusted all their money to New
York banks AMI when they wanted it,
the New York bankers coolly refused
70 pay their checks and drafts. The
small bankers, seeing that they were
to lose their business if the trust
schemes were successful, began to in
quire what to do TO save themselves.
Sc these small bankers practically be-
Game populists although they would
scorn to acknowledge it. Their saliva
ton depended upon beating the trusts
with their big bank annexes in New
York. What did they do? They went
tC work to try to build up small
manufacturing concerns in their own
peighborhoods and loaned their mon
ey to them instead of sending it down
to New York anu getting what the
trust banks pleased to pay them.
The building up of these small con-
Germs soon made inroads on the mar
kets that the trusts thought We're all
their own. AS it is turning out, in
stead of the trusts being able to con-
troll all the industries and all the cred
its through few New York banks, the
smaller banks by offering credits to
entcrprisiHg men in their own COM
munities have started up manufactur-
ing concerns and Knocked the trusts
cut"
The result has been the very oppo-
site of what the trust managers ex-
pected and that is what the matter is
with Morgan, Schwab and good many
more of them. In one western town
the local banks, by Offering credit to
enterprising citizens started six new
concerns and these concerns were
making such ainroads on the market
of trustmade goods that the managers
of one Of the eastern trusts came to
the city and offered to borrow one
good rate of interest if the said banks
would shut off their credits to the new
local companies. But it was too late.
The local banks had become so tied
UP with these new concerns that they
could not shut off their credits even il
they had wanted to do so.
All this goes to show that COMPETE
ton will down a monopoly every time
unless the monopoly is supported by
special privileges granted by law, or
secured by some other means, like
rebates on the railroads, inside infor-
nation procured through the telegraph
companies or exemption from taxation.
All that could be stopped by little
further application of populist prin-
ciples Let the government own the
telegraphs and railroads.

The dream Of horsemen for the
past quarter Of a century has come
true. Lou Dillon on the track at
Readyille. Mass, Aug a. trotted a
mile in just two minutes and took
from Cresceus the crown he had held
two years for his mile in 202A.
The mile was timed thus: Quar-
ter 0:90A; half, 1:0OA; three quar-
ters, 1871; mile, 300
The quarters were: First, 0.3OA;
second. 0.30iz; third, 0.3Oh; fourth,
0.29.
The sleek little mare flashed under
the wire at the finish in condition to
go another mile at a gait fast enough
10 be troublesome to many a rival OF
fair reputation.
Two runners were used to pace her,
one ahead carrying a wind shield. and
one on the side, but the wind shield,
IN the opinion Of good judges, had
no effect on the mares speed
The track (the same on which Star
Pointer paced in 1:59i4) had been
worked in the finest possible cotdi
ton

Of work the little mare did another

Brigham Young in 1890

Abeui the year 1880. Brigham
Young ana famnss settled in Port
Byron. says the Rochester Post
Cypress II was then known as
Bncksynle and boasted OF 100 inhabl-
tants. There was no canal OF rail-
road in those days. and the settlers
had 70 hew down trees Ia order TO
make clearing In which 20 build q
house. During the first few years Of
Yonngs stag he made his home with
Squire Pine. who lived ia the corner
Of Pine and South streets. The Pine
house is now about 100 years old It
is now owned and occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. James ID. Dixon.
Brigham Young was carpenter

that ho was an expert al bis trade,

these animals will hardly prove eff
fectiye The point is that while We
are making the poultry house secure
we should make it so secure that no
loss can be occasioned by these ami
mails
Incidentally we might eritieise the
practice Of many poultry owners leav-
ing the doors and windows Of their
houses open during the summer
nights, with no protection whatever.
This was the case with the man that
lost the White Leghorn cock. A door
and window made Of inch mesh wire
would have been entirely effective IN
keeping out animals, even rats. The
writer has used this wire and has
found it very strong and durable. 1t
is not expensive and there is no rea-
son why it should not be extensively
used.
Where there are young chicks. this
wire should be used to keep out rats.
Rats become very destructive Of
chicks after they once get a taste of
chicken. On the other hand rats Will
frequently live on a farm for years
and never touch a chick It is large
ly a question of forming a habit.
When rats once get the taste for
spring chicken, relentless war will
have to be waged upon them. At one
time the writer had a great deal Of
trouble in this respect. The rats got
SO they would attack a chick of almost
any size. and it was not unusual to
find in the morning a half grown
chick killed and partly eaten by the
rodents. One day the fowls we're
making a fuss and the writer hurried
to find the cause. A big rat had a
haligrown chicken by the leg and
was pulling it under a broken beard
in the floor.
In such cases it win sometimes Be
found necessary to use poison. Elec-
trio paste Of soml make has always
proven the most effective in the ex-
perience Of the writer But it is bet
ter to SO construct the poultry house
that no rats or other animals Of any
size can get in. This can be done in
various ways. Cement always makes
a good floor and prevents rats getting
in from that point Where a board
floor is to be used, it should be so far
above the ground that the rats can
find nothing 10 stand on in their at
tempts 70 gnaw q hole through the
boards. Rats never attempt to cut
their vay fnto a bi.ilafnr- fr0~, 4ha
outside, and this point may well be
left unguarded. The trouble Is that
most floors are put within few
inches OF the ground. or else cross
beams and foundation stones are SO
carelessly placed that the rodents find
an abundance Of support in their op-
erations

Predatory Animals.

Could & census be taken Of the fowls
lost by the rayages Of animals Of prey
the results would be truly astonish-
ing. In the newer settled sections Of
the country forest animals are so per
sistent In their attempts to get at the
poultry that the raising Of chickeas is
frequently discontinued One would
hardly expect to hear Of large losses
from the ravages OF coons, weasels
and minks inside of the limits Of Cook
county, Illinois, yet such losses are
frequently reported The writer knew
Of a neighbor who lost a big white
Leghon cock. The animal had en-
tered the hen house at night, selected
the largest bird obtainable and had
carried it off. climbing a post and
walking along a board fence eight
feet high. Indications pointed to a
coon SIS the mischief doer, but it was
not thought probable that coon Was
in that vicinity However, the next
day another neighbor shot a coon in
the neighborhood and the case was
proven.
Another man living in a good-sized
Chicago suburb told the writer that
some wild animal had destroyed his
whole flock. He got through the wires
one night and killed a part Of the
flock The man the next day made
everything secure, as he supposed; ;
but that night the animal dug a bur
row under the walls Of the house, got
in and killed the rest Of the flock. A
weasel was suspected. This goes to
show that little precaution against
