WANT A CHANGE.
Judson Harmon's View of the PoIiti
cal Situation.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 9.-The features
OF the Jackson day banquet given by
the DOckworth club here was the adj
dress of Judson Harmon, attorney gen.
eral under the second Cleveland ad-
ministra ton.
Mr.. Harmon was given a reception in
the club rooms previous to the banquet
and was received with demonstration
throughout the evening. In his address
he said:
''Of late the Republican politicians
have set up the claim that it is their
management of public affairs which
make good times and so they must be
kept in control if good times are to
continue. This new humbug worked
nicely for a while. But a year ago, in
spite of the success of the Republic
cans in congressional election some of
the clouds and rainbows which had
been capitalized and put off on the peo-
pie began to vanish. Banks failed here
and there, fears and distrust began to
stalk abroad and not a Democrat in
power anywhere to lay it on. And so
matters have gone on ever since, until
Mr.. Hanna, the chief apostle of the
party has announced that all this is
due to natural causes.
Il believe the people are now turning
once more to the Democrats for relief
from the extravaganza, the unfairness
ent administration and the brag and
pretense still employed to mislead them
should be punctured once for all by the
plain facts. It is false that entruSting
the Democratic party with power is or
ever was a menace to the prosperity of
the country. 1t is false, too, that there
is danger of burtfu1 disturbances in the
process of reform in the tariff and other
things to which the Democratic party
is pledged.
THE time is at hand when the peo-
pie require a change of administration.
They are no longer to be prevented by
false assertions and imaginable fears
from committing it again to our party.
There are enough existing evils and
grounds of concern which are seen and
felt by all fairminded men. The ex-
penses for the current year are out
running the receipts and this is likely to
go on because the party leaders will not
change the policy they are pursuing.
mo man can tell, when he goes to
bed at night. what the government may
be up to in the morning, and from day
to day the course becomes more fragrant
of the leaders who claim to have put
their trademark on all the public virtues
and who have inhaled entirely too long
the inSidiouS vapors of a sure thing"

a KANSAS PECAN ORCHARD.
Edwin Snider's Efforts to Produce
One at Oskaloosa.

In 1891 I conceived the idea of
pecan orchard. I had already planted
large orchards of apples, pears, peach
es and cherries, but concluded would
like to try my hand at some nut-bear-
ing trees, says Edwin Snyder in a let
ter to the Mail and Breeze
Pecans are not growing spontaneous
ly in this part of the state, although
they do south Of Kansas City and in
other parts of the immediate Missouri
valley.
I sent an order to a prominent Texas
nurseryman for a half bushel of the
largest and best nuts he could pro
cure. In due time the order was filled
with the largest and finest pecans I
ever saw at the reasonable price of II
cents per pound. They were in good
condition and enclosed them in thin
sack and buried them in sand. In the
spring I found them sprouted nicely,
and I planted them on the highest land
on my farm, in rows running north and
south, 80 feet apart. and about feet
apart in the row. OF course this is very
close planting, but I counted on losing
a good many and trimming out if nee
eSSaTy.
There are many discouragements in
tree planting. The first year they made
a growth of only to 6 inches, although
I cultivated and hoed them thorough
ly. The cold weather of the following
winter had only fairly begun when.
walking over the plantation, found,
to my surprise and disgust, that the
rabbits had cut every one of them off
level with the top of the ground. OF
course, there was nothing to do but
wait for the development of the next
season. The young trees seemed in no
wise discouraged, but sprouted up and
grew as if nothing had happened, and
have never been disturbed by rabbits
since.
I planted corn between the rows and
gave the trees thorough cultivation,
hand-hoeing as often as necessary dur
ing the growing season, and kept this
up for six years. They made very slow
growth and, becoming impatient, L
planted peach trees between the rows
and have raised several fine crops
ton, but of late years with the extern
sion disk, which I find Indispensable in
orchard cultivation. In a few years
more I expect to cut the peaches out as
they begin to crowd the pecanS, which
up to this time have made slow but
apparently sturdy growth. They vary
greatly in size, being now from 8 to
20 feet high; very few, however, have
reached the latter height. They seem
to be entirely hardy, having come
through several hard winters with aD-
parently no damage at all If planted
on bottom land, they would have made
a much larger growth. They look small
for II seasons growth, but growth
seems to increase with age, and look
for a much more rapid growth from
now on.
I am frequently asked how soon they
will bear. I reply, In about 20 years
from planting"

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. "a committee OF
Kansas Seventh Day Adventfsts was here
in conference with the Ottawa Business
Mems association on the matter of OPEN
ing an Adventist sanitarium in the Santa
Fe hospital building at North Ottawa.
The hospital management decided a year
ago to close the institution as a railroad
hospital and to center the business at the
Topeka institution. Since that time, how
ever. there have been extensive improve
ments on the Emporia cutoff which have
kept a large force of men at work near
North Ottawa and necessitated the use
of the hospital Members of the Advent
list committee have made a proposition
to the Santa Fe to lease the building for
five years and to make necessary i'm
provements. The road has accepted the
proposition and the committee was here
yesterday to make final arrangements. A
decision will be announced in a few days.
The committee asks that the town fur
nish light and water for the establish
ment. The sanitarium would be under
the same management as the sanitarium
at Battle Creek, Mich. A proposition for
the manufacture of health foods was also
made to the bushes men last night by
the Adventist committee and is under
consideration here. Topeka and Wichita
have been considered by the Adventists
as locations for the Kansas sanitarium.

MUST FLAP TOGETHER.
TiIIman's Suggestion to Two Wings of
Democratic Party.

Philadelphia, Jan. s.-The principal
leaders of the two wings of the Dem
ocratic party of Philadelphia were
brought together last night by the old
celebration of Jackson day. Demo-
Gratis of prominence throughout the
state and several members of congress
were present. In a letter of regret ex-
President Cleveland wrote:
'Of course I need not tell you how
fully I am in sympathy with the OBJ
jects and purposes of the club and
how fully I believe in the cause Of the
true Democracy
David B. Hill in his letter said:
1.-The best interests of the country re-
quire a change of administration. The
people want sanity rather than hys-
terra in the management of the public
affairs; stability rather than fickleness;
honorable diplomacy rather than inter-
national intrigue; StraightforWardneS
rather than fakery; and honesty rather
than corruption. With wise counSelS,
live issues, conservative candidates and
unity of action the Democracy can
win the contest of 1904"
Senator Tillman in sending his re-
grets said:
1.-THE two wings of the party must
flap together if we are to make any
progress. We must ignore past diff
ferences on matters of policy, but no
candidate can succeed who is obnoxi-
Gus to the south and west, just as no
candidate has succeeded who was OBJ
noxious to the east. We must find a
man who can command the respect
and loyal support of all patriots, and
with such man we will win, because
the times are threatening, and all con-
sentative men without regard to party,
will support such a candidacy.
PENNSYLVANIA Democrats cannot
give us any electoral votes. Let them
not undertake to dictate a policy or
present a candidate who can only re-
vive the bitterness of the past and
make success impossible"
