"A CALL TO ARMS. "
Col. Bryan Appeals to Demo-
Gratis Through His Paper.

Lincoln. Neb. Feb. 13.-Under a head
ing which extends across the front page
of The Commoner-"A Call to Arms
William j. Bryan says. Democrats who
are Democrats from principle should as
sert themselves Not only is it their
duty to do so, but they need to do so
if they would save the party from disas
ter and Generalization. Reports from
every section Of the country make it
certain that those who left the party in
1896 under the pretense of opposition to
bimetallism are making a systematic eff
fort to regain control of the party with
q view to placing it in the position it
occupied under Grover CleVeland'S ad-
ministration In this they are being
aided bs the less extreme representa-
tives of the corporal ton element that Vo-
ted the ticket for regularity's sake
without ndOrsing the platform These
clements do not work openly and hon
cstly but coVertly ard through agents
who beg for harmony
lit is time that loyal Democrats were
aroused to the danger confronting their
party and its principles It is time they
were organizing to combat the insidiOus
influences q work within the party to
Republicanize it and make it acceptable
to the corporation interests for a Dem
ocratic party that espouses principles
acceptable to the trusts and the money
power In Democratic in name only. Only
through 9rganza ton viii it be effective
against these undemOcratic Influences.
This work of organization should be-
gin now and be prosecuted with vigor.
The best way TO go about this work is
the organization of clubs within the
party in every voting precinct in the
country These clubs can arouse en-
thu=iasm. perfect organization and see
to St that delegates elected to nominal
ms conventions are men whose opinions
are known and who may be relied upon
to carry out the wishes of the major
ity. and they should be instructed by
the people at the primaries.
These clubs viii enable Kansas City
platform Democrats to know each other
and to acJ together. They will also fur
nish means of supporting Democratic
principles BY circulating Democratic
literature and debating public questions
they may bring pending propositions
and existing policies before the people

far for the bear hunter to go than any
of the most isolated regions Of the
AdirOndacks.
The Catskill mountains and the kim
dred elevations of Sullivan county
which a. New Yorker can reach between
his breakfast and his luncheon, are still
better than the Lake George and Lake
Champlain hills. But Essex county IS
the greatest county in the state for
bears.
Why it is so the wOOdsmen do not
undertake to explain. An Essex county
bearskin commands a better price in the
market than one from a bear bagged in

The amount of evidence that was pro-

BIG BUYER OF KEROSENE
Purchases by the Government Affect
the Price of Oil.

It is perhaps not generally known that
the amount Of kerosene oil used by en-
tomologists in the determination of plant
killing insects and mosquitoes has in
creased to so much within the past three
or four years that it is actually affecting
the price of Standard Oil. It has been
discovered that the application of the oil
to pear. apple and other fruit bearing
trees Is the most powerful remedy for tbs
scale disease. immense QUANTITIES being
bought by fruit growers for this purpose
Since it has been unquestionably demon
strated that kerosene Is the best and
easiest CT wholesale remedies against mos
quitoes. the government purchases many
thousand barrels yearly. AS one ounce Of
kerosene is needed for every fifteen square
feet Of water surface. to efrectually de-
stroy the larvae in pools. it can be easily
calculated how much of the article Is
needed. Housshclders also are beginning
to appreciate the value Of kerosene as an
insecticide in drainage pits and other va
ter recepta cles. Between this and the
usage of oil for fuel during the coal fam
