DEMOCRATS WITH THE TRUSTS.
The Showing Made When a Vote Was
Taken in the Honae.

The Showing Made When a Vote Was
Taken in the House.
The present laws which place whole
some restrictions on the trusts were put
on the statutes by the Republican party
and not by the Democratic party. Loud
ly as the Democrats have always talked
against the trusts. and seriously as they
have from time to time awakened appre-
hension in all business circles by their
threats that they would destroy all large
corporations whether good or bad, yet
never once have the Democrats accom-
plished or even aided in the accomplish
ment of any salutary effort to control
the trusts along lines of public safety.
The rulings of the Supreme Court hav-
ing shown that as the constitution now
stands Congress can only regulate trusts
engaged in Interstate commerce. the fol
lowing amendment was introduced in
the House of Representatives and press
ed to a vote on June /, 1900:
Section 7. All powers conferred by this
article saall extend 10 the several States
the territories, the District of Columbia
and all territory under The sOeerci.ntv and
sunl"ct to the jurisdiction Of the United
section .. Congress shall have power
to define. regulate, control prohibit or dis
solve trusts mouoUoinS or combinations
whether existing in the form of comhina.
tiou or otherwise The several STATES may
continue TO exercise such power in any man
ner no; in conflict with the laws Of the
United States.
Section g. Congress shall have power to
enforce he provisions Of this article by
appropriate legislation
The clause saving all rights of States
was inserted in the hope of inducing
State-rights Democrats to support the
amendment. Nevertheless the vote stood
l4S Republicans for and 40 Democrats
against. and the measure failed Of the
necessary two-thirds majority.

The seventh plank of the platform
gives elation to the Wit of Britt. Tho
he was in Des Moines during the time
the convention was in session. he has 1t
from Des Moines newspaper that
three members of the committee on
resolutions voted against the adoption
of this plank. According to Bailey the
plank is this: I'VE are In favor OF
reciprocity with Canada in non-com-
petitive products only" If this is in
tended as joke Col. LATE Young will
not accept it as such. The danger is
that Bailey will be excluded from the
order as platform buster. The words
with Canada are interpolated. either
for mischief or under Misrepresentation
of the truth.
1t was the aim of Col. Young and his
associates to make a platform that
could not be misquoted or misunder-
stood. But here is Bailey, dealing
with the most direct plank in the whole
structure, claiming to be of the faith
full. shattering the fondest dream of the

the standpatters will be in confusion De

The immediate business of the man
of Britt is to call for Judge Kenyon, VINO
was the Tenth district member of the
committee on resolutions. The Britt
man finds from the vote of the Tenth
district man that the Tenth district Is
opposed to the seventh plank as the
Britt man understands 1t. If the Britt
man does not indorse that plank he
wants to know, with the spell of wit

probably tell him that he should in

is to do himself justice as stand

THE BLAzeD TRAIL.

The opening chapters Of Stewart Ed
ward whites splendid serial of the
lumber woods are offered Times-Re-
publican readers today, and other chap
tiers will follow daily. THE Blazed
Trafr' is a piece of high-ciass fiction
entirely worthy of its predecessors
which have appeared In the Times Re-
publican during the past year. No book
has met mere enthusiastic approval
from the critics or been better received
by the reading public. In his strong
and beautiful story of the lumber woods
Mr.. White has blazed new trail OF
fiction. The Indian, the cow country
and the cowboy, all the diversified life
OF America, have been written of and
their literary capabilities exploited. Mr..
White turned aside from the beaten
path to mark a new trail into unknown
forests and tell the story of the lumber
Jack and his employees. His story is
valuable as picture of life along the
tall woods" and the rivers of the
snowy forests of the timbered north. It
Is charmingly interesting in plot and
story. Don't fail to begin THE Blazed
Trail" 1t leads into delightful places.
The T.-R. is gratified by the APPROX

previous serials. These stories have
been clipped and pasted up in several
different localities into books consid-
cred worthy OF place in public Libraries
and reading rooms. Societies have made
up the books for their reading rooms

MacLean. My acquaintance with him
is very slight. but the manner in which
he has been tried ard convicted by
the alumni of the university Is one Of
the most un- American, one of the most
disgraceful things that has ever come
under my observation, and it intensifies
my prejudice against stand up" col
lar jury. No one knows what Prest-
dent MacLean has done, no charges
have been made and yet the alumni Of
Davenport met and passed resolutions
demanding his summary removal and
the alumni of two other cities have
followed suit. Now l do not know

themselves to be unfit to sit as jury
In this case, and my challenge would
go, not to the individual, but to the
panel 1t is fortunate indeed that
this matter must be decided by the re-
gents and not by the alumni. And yet,
whether DR.. MacLean goes or stays,
these educated assassins of character
have probably destroyed his usefulness,
and character is all the capital that
such a man has. Was 1t not sufficient
that DR.. MacLean had to run the gaunt-
let of Henry Vollmers vocabulary
of vituperation and billingsgate,
without demanding his immediate re-
moyal. without indictment and without
trial? Up to date the only serious
charge made against DR.. MacLean is
that he has six shines a week, while

Canning Fruit.

The secret of success In canning
fruit, next to using thoroughly steril-
lied cans and fresh, sound fruit, is to
have the fruit boiling when it is put in
to the cans, and to put the covers on
as quickly as possible. For that reason
it is better not to try to remove the
froth, or air bubbles (pure air will do
no harm in the cans, and 1t will be
pure when the fruit is at boiling heat
all around it and will remain so IL the
can is we'll sealed), because while You
are trying to let the air out, the
fruit is cooling on the top and the
germs from the outside air are settling
upon it. Do not let your cans of straw
berries lie on the side until winter,
as the Strawberries are apt to eat holes
thru the top of the cans. Invert all
the fruit cans and leave them standing
that way a few hours, to be sure that
they do not leak. Keep canned fruit
in q dark place. The light will cause
it to lose it's flavor, as we'll as it's color.
The hottest climate will not affect
well canned fruit, but light will.
Some fruit, such as whortleberries
and ripe peaches. are very good canned
without sugar. They have a more nat
ural flavor and you will be surprised
to find how you will enjoy them canned
in this way. Cherries. whortleberries.
red and black currants, and all fruits
which do not crush easily. may be put
into the kettle in layers, with the sug-
ar (never more than one-half pint to
two quarts of the fresh fruit. and US
ually less) brought to the boiling point
slowly, and put into the cans with very
little trouble. Fill the cans to over.
flowing, cover quickly and seal well.
Most fruits will not require the addi-
ton of any water. as all the liquid that
is necessary is just enough to cover the
fruit. Water may be added when you
open it if you desire more juice. Black
currants are so very dry that they will
need some water. In canning goose
berries. after washing and clipping off
the stems and blows with the scissors.
use one cup of water to four quarts
of berries.
Some have an idea that tomatoes
are hard to keep. but that is a mis-
take. After being kept for two years
they may be just as nice as freshly
stewed tomatoes, and when they are
not I think it is because they are not
perfectly fresh when canned. Select
only fresh, well ripened tomatoes. ana

mer OF you do not have wire basket
with which to put them IND, peel. leave
whole or slice as you prefer. Heat to

other fruit Do not boil long. If you
do they will lose their fresh, delicate
flavor and become strong.
Try dropping one or two whole. we'll

and when you open them in the winter
you will have some fresh sliced toma-
toes. Can some the following way:
Wash and slice without peeling, heat

tomatoes are nice for soup, gravies,

| ing the operation the Old method OF ap-
plying clamps should be abandoned.
| This plan led to many cases OF tumor
and to some of rupture. The better
way is to cut through the cord high up
by means of clean emasculator or &C.
raseur. The former instrument shuts
down upon the cord and artery and
brushes them so that bleeding does not
ensue. The sharp part of the instru-
ment follows the crushing edge and
by compression, it being a link chain
which is gradually tighened upon the
cord until it is crushed into a small
space and finally cut through. For
very large. well developed animals the
ecraseur should be used; for compare
lively large animals the emasculator
will be found very handy and effective.
The latter instrument may be used in
preference to the ecvraseur in castrat-
ing old boars and rams.
After castrating a colt-and we pre-
fer to castrate at two years of age that
the gelding may have sufficient mascu-
Unity in appearance-it is important to
keep the scrotal wounds open until
creamy pus is seen to flow. For this
reason the colt should be caught once

must be given plenty Of exercise every
day after castration. The colt will
stand in corner of the field unless
made to move about so that in valuable
animals it is best to even drive them in
light cart than run chances of SWELL
ing from idleness. In opening the scro-
tum daily it is also well to first sponge
with warm antiseptic solution of coal
tar product disinfectant and even to
inject some of it into the wound after
opening. We find, however. that the
mere opening of the wound to allow of
free drainage will generally insure good
results following castration.
In this connection we desire to eau
ton ametuer castrators not to operate
upon any animal that is sick. 1t is
quite common for colts to suffer from
strangles (colt distemper) in spring and
if colt so afflicted is castrated and the
same instruments are then used upon
unaffected colts without first thorough
ly disinfecting them. blood poisoning
will be likely to result. We know OF a
young castrator who fell into this error
and had train of fatalities following
his operations. Make 1t practice to
cleanse the hands thoroughly in an an
tiseptic solution and to cleanse the in
strument perfectly in a similar solu-
ton, before and after each operation.
Mortality following castration is usual
ly to be traced to dirty hands and in
struments or placing the patients in
dirty pens or stables and not allowing
abundant exercise on clean pas
ture.
