better crowds than any vice-presi-
dental candidate saw later in the
season. He told the farmers how
to select their seed coSn, how to
plant and cultivate it, and on
what sort of ground to plant diff
ferent sorts of corn and how to
handle it under different cordi-
tions.
Evidence in the professors fa-
vcr is overwhelming. The coun-
ties in which he made speeches
did better than the others. Those
in which he had the largest audi
ences did best of all. There are
fields worked under careful appli-
cation of his methods which have
produced more than 100 bushels
to the acre. Those with 80 BUSH
els are frequent, and 65 bushels
is a common yield.
Every farmer is reading Holden
literature this fall, selecting his
earliest and best ears of corn for
seed, testing its terminating
qualities, preparing his soil ac-
cording to Professor Holden's S
directions and getting ready to
break all records next year. 1t is
estimated that there will be 10
per cent increase in the corn
acreage next season, and the
farmers propose to make it aver
age so bushels to the acre.

portion of the New England
states, New Y ork aud New Jer-

genuine blizzard. Snow is re-
ported as being four feet deep on
the eastern portion of Long Is

storm, which is said to have been
the most severe that has visited
that locality in years.

MONTANA NOTES.

The strange malady, spotted fever,
which has been battling the skill of
physicians since its appearance sew
eral years ago, has broken out at
Victoria, the daughter of John Cleary
being in a precariOus condition from
the disease. Great apprehension ex-
lists over the fear of possible spread
of the disease.
In the track meet held at Missoula
Saturday, the boys from the Wash
ington Agricultural college won from
the Montana State university hands
down. The young men from Washing
ton proved they were tried athletes
and true sportsmen. The final score
was 81 to 20 in their favor.
John Jackson, a typhoid patient at
an Anaconda hospital, escaped from
that institution during his delirium
by jumping from a second story win
dow, yelling to the startled attendant
that he was pursued by devils. All
night long Jackson eluded the vigil
ance of guards who searched for him
and finally some time during the early
morning hours he wandered upon the
railway tracks where he was struck
by freight train and killed. Jackson's
body was frightfully mangledsand was
cut almost in twain.

Our First Daguerreotype.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that the earliest practical information
as to Daguerre's process of catching
and holding the figure of his camera
obseura came to America through Pro-
lessor S. F. B. Morse. In letter to a
friend in America, to be quoted in Alb
raham Bogardus' "The Lost Art of the
Daguerroetype" in the May Century,
Professor Morse tells of constructing
the first danguerroetype apparatus
made in the United States, from draw
ings furnished by Daguerre.
my first effort Professor Morse
writes, twas on a small plate of sill
yered copper procured at hardware
store, and, defective as the plate was,
| obtained good representation of the
Church of the Messiah, then on Broad
way, from a back window of the New
City University. This | believe to have
been the first daguerreotype made in
America"

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says:
Somewhat better retail distribution

ature, but it came too late to recover
any large part of the tardy seasons
injury to spring trade. Quiet condi-
tons are noted in practically all lines
of wearing apparel. Operations for
future requirements are carried on
with caution, and this disposition to
avoid excessive commitments will do
much to reduce the number of fail
ures. Some Improvement in collec-
tons, particularly at the south and
west, will also strengthen weak con-
Germs. The percentage of idle factor
les has increased, especially in text
lies and footwear, and a change in
style has rendered unavailable much
silk machinery. Structural work is
increasing, but dealers had accumu-
lated large supplies of building mate
rails, and prices lack seasonable firm
ness. Commodity prices declined dur
ing April. Railway earnings in April
were 5.S per cent less than last year.
After last weeks exceptionally heavy
traffic, it was natural that western
hide markets should become inactive.
Prices remain firm, however.
Commercial failures in the United
States were 206.

it makes a demand for the current at

The demand Ior press seats at the
two national conventions far exceeds
the capacity of the space set apart
for the newspapers of the country. At

290 seats in the press reservation and
already there have been received 1900
applications. The demand for seats
at the st. Louis convention also is

Not the Platform Article.

Mr.. Eugene n. Foss of Boston criti-
cises Secretary Shaw for his views on
Canadian reciprocity and cites the fact
that Republican platforms have repeat
eddy declared for reciprocity and that
prominent Republicans have habitual-
ly urged it.
Mr.. Foss is correct. Republican lead
ers and Republican platforms are pro-
nounced for reciprocity The present
tariff has a section providing for reci-
procity. But most of the conversation
that has been made within the last
few months touching reciprocity with
Canada appears to be waste of force.
The Canadians are not ready for reel
procity. Canadian manufacturers an
tagonize all the propositions that have
been made, except that they are will
ing to take much and give little. We
have a joint commission to consider
Canadian reciprocity. The American
members are ready for the discussion
and awaiting the pleasure of the Ca.
nadians. Those who regard as reci-
procity a system under which we lose
a great deal and gain little or nothing
are not speaking of the kind of reel
procity for which the Republican plat
form and Republican leaders stand.
We have sufficiently tried the allega-
ton. What we must have next is the
real thing-Boston Journal.

Making Headway.

The one thing plainly evident Is that
Mr.. Chamberlain's tariff scheme has
made unmistakable Roadway. 1t does
not appear that he has gained many
supporters in the house of commons
among the members returned in recent
byelections, but it is undeniable that
he has made many converts among the
ministerialists who were elected in 1900.
The Irish party, too, is apparently
ready to make terms with Mr.. Bal
four's supporters in return for the es-
adjustment of a Catholic university
at Dublin and the amendment of the
Irish land purchase act.
To what extent Mr. Balfour is pre-
pared to follow Mr.. Chamberlain in the
tariff matter. however. is still I'M
known. At present he seems disposed
to stop with simply tariff for retalia-
ton.
What the issue of this peculiar mud
die may be it is impossible to say.
but the indications are that the day
is not far off when appeal must be
made to the entire British electorate on
the tariff question. This would prob
ably result in wholesale realignment
of British voters. possibly under new
party names The outcome of the mat
ter will be watched with deep interest
on this side of the Atlantic. = New

APARTY OF DISASTER
BUSINESS DEPRESSION NECESSARY
TO DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

Bourbon Leaders Assert That the
BnbbIe Of Prosperity Has Collapsed
and That the Time Has Arrived For
q Change In Our Economic system.
The Democratic party seems to be
united upon one thought in connection
with making an issue for the coming
campaign. The leaders in congress, as
well as the Democratic and free trade
press throughout the country, seem to
think it necessary to show in some
way that prosperity is on the wane. 1t
is, in fact, made very clear that Demo-
cratic success depends in a large meas
ure upon adversely. 1t is certainly
very curious condition of affairs that
only through commercial disaster can
the Democratic party hope to be sue
cessful in the coming or any subse-
quent campaign.
1t will be remembered that the two
successes of this party in presiden-
tial election since the civil war were
during periods of great prosperity, al
though the Democratic managers sue
ceeded in making the masses believe
that they were not well off or could be
much better off under a Democratic
administration. This was tried very
successfully in 1892, and it is evident
that the Democratic managers are in
tending to play the game over again
during the coming campaign. 1t will
hardly be so successful this year as it
was twelve years ago, The high
price, contention will not avail this
time, when the workingman. in addi-
ton to the splendid living which he is
getting, can pull out his bank book
and show what he is able to save be-
cause his full employment and good
wages enable him to have surplus
after he has paid for all the neeessa-
ries and Injuries which he desires.
The very desperation of Democratic
leaders will lead to campaign based
upon deception. They know that it
will be impossible to win in any other
way, no matter who their candidate
may be, should they succeed in agree
Ing upon one. 1t is therefore the duty
of Republicans from now until the
close of the campaign to simply tell the
truth, carrying out the advice of the
lamented Senator Hanna to "stand
pat' and let well enough alone.
