The Cleveland Discussion.

One of tine most significant develop
mcnts in connection with the discussion
of the name Of Grover Cleveland with the
democratic nomination for the presidency
is that he has taken pains TO deny the
report that Mrs Cleveland had expressed
the hope that lie would not be nominated.
This does not necessarily mean that he
is trying TO get where the presidential
lightning will strike him. but it is evil
dent that there is no iusuperahlc OBJ
stacle TO his nomination in the direction
indicated. In the meantime the suggcs-
ton that Cleveland be nominated as the
democratic standard bearer is eliciting
hearty commentator as we'll as bitter
opposition in the ranks Of that party in
about equal proportions.
In this connection Senator Proctor
vo.cng republican sentiments. says: Il
oarnot believe that Mr. Cleveland is
trying to secure the nomination for him
self. He seems to be doing all he can to
bring ABOUT harmony in a badly divided
party. He is acting with dignity, and
will no doubt he power in his party be-
fore the next nominee of the democrats

Of any particular man on the west side.
In that event it is proposed to bring the

shall we continue to- break it by keeping
the eovcrnorship on this side Of the State,
or shall we allow the prize to alternate

As a matter Of fact VIC arc not wpiig
out the mountain limo by insisting that
the nomination shall be on the west side
in 1901. we are emphasizing the fact that
the mountain line exists by saying in
advance that the nomination shall not go
TO the cast side. Moreover in tho event
Of the disresarding of the mountain line
in 1901. the question viii be whether to
continue breaking the old rule or to break
the now mountain rule in 1906 for obviously
We must break one or the other?
If allowing the east side Of the State to

what shall we cali tho talk about confn-

Bryan and Cleveland

The suggestion Of the name Of Grover
Cleveland I'm connection with the nomina-
ton of his party for the presidency Of
the United States has had the effect it
would naturally be expected to hive uron
William Jennings Bryan. His Commoner
las attacked the cX-Prcsdont in a broad
side article, in which the lattcr's course
is condemned in the most scathiuG terms
The Commoner asserts in brief that
Cleveland represents the plutoorats thor
oughly; that Cleveland's administrations
were controlled by the money element as
completely as though he had been an Of
fec hoy in Wall street; that the money
clement drew him into the vortex of sprcu-
lation and made money for him, thus gam
ing strong hold upon him; that thoge
same interests guard his investments, and
furnish stimulus for him both in politics
and finance.
The Commoner holds, and not without
some show OF reason, that the party can
not serve both Wall street and the misses
Mt one and the same time, and the organ
ization must, therefore, choose between
the people and the representatives of or
ganized greed, ms exemplified in Wall
street. Mr., Bryan insists that Cleveland
can not become the leader Of the Demo
cratic party until his views are entirely
changed, and by inference one is lei to
understand that in the event OF Cleve-
lands nomination Bryan will adopt the
same course as was pursued by Cleve-
land in 1896 and again in 1900.
The Brooklyn Eagle has made the in
teresting discovery in this connection that
the Shepard democrats of New York are
abandoning the cause OF Bryan and TAX
ing up their old allegiance to Grover
Cleveland. In support Of its assertion il
tells an interesting story to the effect that
Bryan was informally asked to speak at
the academy and that he informally eN-
pressed his willingness to do 50; but while
he WAS waiting for a formal invitation,
the Shepard democrats refused to sign
the invitation, and even Mr., Shepard him

SCIENTIFIC FARMING IN CANADA

From the first Professor Robertson

the same is true in rearing pigs and
poultry for the market, and here he is

be saved by wise economy may he far

prices in producing the first qualities.
The best brands of bacon, the best chick

second best that to aim at anything else
is to waste time In plainly worded and

strains of pigs, sorts of feed pens and
treatment The result Is most crafty

A kentucky democrat, who Ia some
thing of statistician, and who for
years has been close friend of Col
Henry Watterson of the Louisville Cour-
ior-Journal is quoted as saying that
whether Cleveland is nominated or not,
Bryan Is no longer power in the Dem
ocratic party He expresses the belief
that, If the convention were TO be held
tomorrow, the reorganizers, or those
democrats who are opposed to Bry M,
would control the delegation from at least
Twenty-Five States Those States might
not favor Cleveland. but in his estimation
they would take the position that Bryan
has been thrown over as leader.
On the other hand former Senator Lind
say of Kentucky who is known In this
State. thinks no ono can now estimate
how far Bryan and his followers will be
able to control the next democratic ma
tional convention, lie holds that the
demonstration in st. Louis was simply n
personal tribute to Cleveland, and that
talk about his nomination is taken far
r1ore seriously in the East than in the
West
Ex-senator Lindsay undoubtedly hits
the nail on the head completely when he

the Democratic party will be no more

An Effective Law.

II is not many months since some of the
newspapers were proclaimnG from the
house tops that the anti olcomarEarine
law which Vermont's national legislators
had so much to do in helping to pass
Congress at the first session Of the Fifty
seventh Congress, was not accomplishing
what was expected of it. Figures recent
ly issued by the treasury department,
however, show that Vermont farmers
as we'll as others have every reason to be
satisfied with the results OF the struggle
made under the leadership of Senator
Proctor.
In nine months time there was n de-
cline of at,J9, 1871 pounds in the production
OF oleomargarine and a failing off Of ST.
5j4, $50 in the revenue derived from taxes
on that article. The tax on oleomarGarine
was formerly two cents a pound but by
the present law a tax of ten cents per
pound Is imposed on this product when
II Is colored so as to initiate butter Only
one-quarter of a cent a pound is oXacted
as tax when oleomargarine is not colorod
In imitation OF butter.
The marked decline in the quantity Of
olcomargarine made in imitation of but
ter s proof that the large sale of that
product heretofore WAS the result OF its
fraudulent use as butter. For n time a
small capsule OF coloring matter was sold
10 boarding housekeepers and others with
packages OF uncoored olcomargarinc, in
order that there might be a saving with
out conflicting with the law; but this
scheme was too trivial to be effective and
the consequent large decline in the guam
tity ot spurious butter consumed by the
public is the result.

NEW ENGLAND FARMING
NIrom the Boston GlobcD

We have long heard that New Eng
land farming is doomed. Though the
Grass has never yet grown well in New
England streets we have been constant
~ reminded that New England farming
has gone west. never to return.
But the tide has turned. If We may
believe writer in the Independent. lie
finds that il 20 essentially farming towns
in Connecticut the population diminished
from IN ,l24 in 1880 to 1lj,0,A in 1890 or
about j per cent, but in 1900 more than
half of thai loss WAS recovered hy tAc
increase OF the population to ll7,7f4. III
the three recognized farming counties OF
western Massachusetts, excluding large
towns and cities, the population fell from
$500 in 1850 to $3.50 in 1sa'. or about 4
per cent. but in 1900 it partly made 1t up
rising to S6,23a.
Tut this writer finds that there is ono
sad draw ack to this showing, and that
is that with it the native Yankee Gle
ment is declining. Swcdes, Italians
Germans. Irislmen. and latterly large
assortment of ScandnaVians ard lie
brews are beginning TO reclaim the old
farms, and they are doing well on them
by enduring the same sort of dcpriVa-
tiors and practicing the same economies
which were incidents of the Yankee farm
inF of the old days. but an overplus OF
Yankees is no longer found.
I;ut the Yankee is not lost. He has
to n large extent peopled the great west
orn States and the new territories. DE
spite the race suicide scare we and
for Instance, that in the great territory
of Oklahoma there is hardly a single
| foreigner to be found among its great
swarm of farmers.
Iiut changes in the composition OF The
population are inevitable in a section like
New England. What matters it? 1t suf
| ices to know that even our farms axe
being repoopled by thrifty races and thai
evidences of prosperity abound every
where. Those who come to us in the old
| time season may see for themselves.
