ADDRESS BY THE
PEOPLES PARTY OF
INDIANA.
INDIANA POPULISTS

the democratic party the country
would be benefited. They believed
that better results would ultimately
be attained by an attitude Of antag-
onism to both it and the republican
party.
After four campaigns in this state,
with the knowledge gained by this
experience, looking backward, We see
that both "builded better than they
knew" In no other way would the
discussion Of principles and policies
the same as embodied in the Omaha
platform-have been listened to with
open minds. In no other way could
the prejudices engendered by de-
signing leadership have been so well
circumvented and so completely dis
armed. In no other way could the in
competency, the insincerity and want
Of courage of men in control Of the
democratic organization in this state
have been SO completely exposed.
These associations and discussions
were in the highest degree educa-
tional. 1t is now no longer possible
except in the minds of the stupidity
ignorant, to create prejudice against
any declaration by calling it popul-
ism.
Whatever opinions we may have
about the wisdom of past political
actions and affiliations. those who
gave support to the democratic party,
because of principles declared in its
platforms, are, by the actions Of men
IN control Of it's organization in this
state and by present political condi-
ti6ns, compelled to recognize the fu-
tility of any further efforts to assist
it. The greater part of the democratic
voters believe in every principle and
policy of the Kansas City platform,
but they have not within the party,
and there is no reasonable probability
that they ever will have, any organi-
zation that will enable them to con-
| troll its conventions Time after time
have the desires and intentions of the
voters been expressed in township
and county primaries, and as often
have they been thwarted in district
and state conventions by an insincere
and cowardly leadership. The victory

DEL MAR EDITION

AS was previously announced, the
issue next week November 19) will
be devoted principally to review of
Hon. Alexander Del Mars books on
the precious metals, monetary sys-
TENS, the science of money, ETC., a
work which has engaged his attention
since 1857 when he first formed the
design of writing a history of the
precious metals This led to his
study of money. In 1862 he published
Gold Money and Paper Money and
in 1865 Essays on the Treasury !"
For the past twenty years Mr.. Del
Mar has given practically his whole
time to original research in the great
libraries and coin collections of Eu-
rope on the subject of the history of
money and finance, and the result of
these Investigations is embodied in a
number of volumes of rare value.

From the Missouri World we learn
that at meeting of the mid-rond and
fusion populists at Galatin, October
II, all agreed to join hands in har-
mony and present solid front to
boodlers and tricKsters, bessism and
corruption, and stand true to the
Omaha platform, and bid adieu to fu-'
sion with either the democratic or re-.
publican party.
A ringing address by Hon. I. j. Tea

Iresent, and no doubt some went away
with facts about the Missouri legisla-
ture and legislation presented to them
that will cause them to think before
casting their next ballot.

vention of 1896 was a surprise to the
representatives of combined wealth
within the party. In 1900 they in
duced the convention to mislead the
people by declaring an imperialistic
effect to be paramount to pluto
cratic cause. 1t is highly improbable
they will permit the wishes OF the
honest voters to control the conven-
ton of 1904.
There is now no democratic organi-
zation in the state, except an organi-
zation of self-constituted leaders who
are servants of corporations. trusts
and national banks. This Organiza-
tion has no purpose except to advance
the pecuniary interests of the men
interested in it, and to induce the con-
yention of 1904 to repudiate the most
important declarations of the conven-
tions of 1896 and 1900.
The present situation makes it op-
perfume and important that the mem
bers Of the peoples party, united as
they are in principle, should cease
to be divided in political action. In
such event, we believe it equally OPP
perfume and appropriate that they
should be assisted and strengthened
by all those who with them, believe
the principles OF the Declaration OF
independence to be fundamental and
everlastingly true; who believe With
Lincoln that "the principles OF JEFF
ferson are the axioms of free society,"
that the rights Of men and not prop
erty rights are the prime objects OF
government who believe with jack
son that laws giving to banks special
privileges and powers are especially
wrong in principle and dangerous in
tendency; who believe that railroad,
telegraph and telephone lines, and
all other natural mOnopolies should
be owned ard operated by the govern
ment; who believe that the sovereign
prerogative of government to issue
money ought never to be subject TO
the control of private interests; that
a metallic currency ought to be BIZ
metallic, of silver and gold, coined
free, without limit and at the present
legal ratio; that all paper money
should be issued by the government
directly; that all money should be
full legal tender in payment Of all

We, therefore, advise, in harmony

LORDSHIPS TO SPARE.
Surplus of Titled Gentry Revealed by
the Most Recent Stock
Taking.

The mysteries Of the peerage Of
this realm are many and deep. Muct.
light is thrown upon this fascinating
subject in the new volume of "Dod'.
Peerage" (Sampson Low, a work
which has been known in the par
lors of Mayfair for So years past,
states the London Mail of recent date.
In the first place, there are far
more titles in existence than peers to
carry them. Consequently, there are
several peers who are blessed with
a multiplicity of titles. The duke
of, Atholl has 20 t:ties, the duke of
Argyll II, the duke of Hamilton. 1G,
the marquis of Butte Is, the duke CT
Fuccleuch IS, the duke of Abercorn
IL, the marquis of Lansdowne ~.
Often the eldest son of a peer car
ries his fathers second title,thouch
only by courtesy. But even here
there is no certainty; for instance,
the heir apparent of the Lansdowne
family in alternate generations is
styled earl of Kerry, and the title
of S%helburne disappears from view.
Sometimes tie courtesy title of a

HE STOPPED THE BELL.
And Gave the showAa Chance, There

Admission.

The requests for theater favors in the
small towns are very troublesome. Every
person of local standing feels that he Las
a right to admission at least, while the trus-
tees and the constable feel that they are
entitled to private boxes. Some of the
requests are decidedly unique, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Recently a company played a small
southern city. The manager was taking
the tickets at the door of the theater, and
the natives were struggling to get in. ''Sud-
denly" he tells, ga long, thin, bushy-chin-

He tripped up several ladies while back

surdity. If a man drank and iveA,
it would be a notable proof of
strength; but to drink and live and
then race for a wife! AS to his crime,
it was only what any of them WOULD
have done if brave enough. He had
killed a man! True, but he had been
provoked. He must be punished, for
that was the law, but they did not
wish him harm.
And they all knew Ankona, the gem
tie one, the dreamerand story maker,
and though non of them revered or
feared him, they all had a tender
place for him in their hearts. If he
could race with White Egret and win
her they would be glad. But Malahar
came first, for White Egret herself
had made it so.
Malabar was the first who presented
himself for punishment. While he was
in. the closed tent the tribe stood about
silent, with eyes furtively watching
the point whence the condemned would
walk forth innocent or be brought
forth guilty.
At length the tent flap was raised
and he staggered out. For a moment
he stood there in the sunlight, his
hand to his head, swaying blindly.
Then they saw him throw his shout
ders back with a mighty~effort, as one
whose will was strong enough to cast
off the weight of all things. Slowly
he turned away from them and strobe
into the forest to be by himself. That,
too, was Malabar's way.
Not until the maidens were brought
forth did Malabar reappear.
81 will race for my squaw at once"
he called, in avoice that all could hear,
"before the White Egret grows weak
through waiting, and l shall give her
one-half the distance start because she
is a woman Ankona will also enter
the race with me, and l will give him
one-third the distance because he is
but half a man. Let them be placed"
The spectators stared and gasped.
Ankona, his rival, to enter the race and
to be given one-third the distance, and
White Egret, the ~f1eet-footed, to be
given one-half! No one could win a
race thus handicapped. And yctvas it
not Malabar?
He swept them with his glance.
81 shall win," he said, confidently,
"because l will have it So"
Ankona had been watching him with
baleful eyes. For an instant he drew
back as though to spurn the conce
sion. Then, as he saw White Egret be-
ing led forward to her place, he hurried
to his own position.
And for a brief space after the signal
was given and they were speeding on

VALUE OF SKIM. MILK.
When Used IntelIigeatIv for Feeding
Purposes High Returns Result
from Its Use.

Many farmers seem to be slow to
realize the value of skim-milk for the
feeding of pigs and other animals. 1t is
perhaps partly due to a lack of judg-
ment in regard to proper methods Of
feeding it, and to not feeding it in
the right condition and quantity.
Hoard's Dairyman has been conduct
ing an Investigation among the
creamery patrons in New York, and
in this Investigation they found
many farmers who estimated the
value of the skim-milk at only ten
cents a hundred pounds. Possibly
in the way that some are for the
milk, this valuation would be high
enough; but there is no excuse what
ever for milk being handled in this
way. When it is well handled any
man with average intelligence should
be able to get a very much higher
return for it's use. It brings the
greatest returns when used in con-
junction with grain foods where an
imals are old enough to eat the
grain.
II. B. Gurler, the noted Illinois
dairyman, made extended experi-
ments to learn the value of cream
cry skim-milk, and he found that il
fed to shoats weighing 100 pounds, it
was worth rs cents a hundred, when
pork is worth $3.50 per hundred live
weight.
A Wisconsin dairyman obtained the
following returns for his skim-milk
fed to Guernsey grade heifer calves:
AT ten months old the calves were
thrifty, but not fat, and were sold
for $40 each. He fed them 1000
pounds of skim-milk eachs and to
each a dollars worth of oats and
a dollars worth of flax seed meal.
He counted the calves worth two dol
lars when a week old, for that was
what the calf buyers would pay him.
Taking $500 out of the $40 to pay
for the infant calf, the oats and flax
seed meal, he had SIG left to credit
of the skim-milk.
The labor of feeding and care
would be about the same whether he
had fed it to calves or pigs. This
calculation would make the skim
milk worth 40 cents a hundred. The
oats and fax seed meal were charged
to the calf at just what they were
worth in the market. All this was
done with ordinary creamery skim
milk, but there was good calf sense
shown in feeding it. Thus we have
another proof of the money value of
intelligence.
The man who persists %inssending his
milk to the creamery in a filthy and
half-sour condition, and when it re-
turns feeds it to his calves in a soured
and partly decayed condition, need not
expect any such returns.

NEW DAIRY INDUSTRY.
A Wesleyan Professor Experiments
ing to Discover Methods of Soft
Cheese Manufacture.

Few people in this country have any
idea of the great variety of products
covered by the name cheese. Most
American cheeses are what are called
hard cheeses; Europeanmarkets, how
ever, IDEAL in many kinds unfamiliar
to us, including a large class known
as soft cheeses, which keep only a
comparatively short time and usual
ly possess extremely high favors.
Everyone knows the Limburger a
riety, the peculiar odor of which has
given rise to to many newspaper jokes
These soft cheeses form a series of
most delicious products, and the
cheaper kinds supply a most accept
able relish to the coarse foodsof Euro
pean peasants. Limburgercheese.has
a considerable sale in this country,
and, of late years, there has been&an.
increasing demand for the species
known as Roquefort and Camembert,,
two Of the, mostadelicate and Iieh-
priced of European brands. Camam-
bert, Brie and Neufchtel cheeses are
pow manufactured to a limited extent
in the United States; butthe processes
by which they are made here are large
ly trade secrets and hence cannot be
employed by ordinary cheese makers.
The United States department of
agriculture has learned that it re-
quires only proper care and attention
to produce in this country other kinds
of cheeses of as high a grade as those
made in Europe. The Storrs' expert.
ment station of Connecticut is at work
upon the problem of discovering and
making public practicable methods Of:
manufacture; and the department. Of.
agriculture proposes to cooperate
with the experiment station in this
work.
The secret of soft cheese making is
probably a psychological one, and
the work is underline direction Of Prof.
H. w. Conn, of Wesleyan university,
Middletown, Conn.,, who for years has
been studying the bacteriology Of milk
products. The scientific part Of the
Investigation is to be carried on in the
laboratory Of Wesleyan university.
Possibly the next few years will see
appearing in our markets varieties Of
cheese quite new to the American pub
lie; and, side by side with the produc-
ton OF these new cheeses. will go the
education of u taste in the enioy-
ment of these new products ofsAmeri.

Decrease in Milk Yield.

Dairymen are often puzzled in try
ing to locate the vause of sudden
falling off in milk yield of their
herdssfrom one day to another. Ere.
iquently the yield will drop five or
more pounds per COW. An Indian.
apolis milkman is reported as hav-
ing experienced a sudden shortage
of 40 gallons on one day, which came
about under peculiar circumstances.
He was delivering 90 gallons, and
one morning met a man in the road
who requested a sample of his milk:
the next morning he had business at
the city hall; and the day following
he delivered only 62 gallons of milk.
Dairy authorities have ascribed the
falling off in milk yield to various
causes, but we think none of them
have yer accused a milk Inspector of
drying up the cows.-Jersey Bulletin.
