Is true that there are many more who
will be prominent in the council Of the
party and whose advice and opinion will
be sought. but in the last analysis. if
a point were to be raised, decision upon
# would rest with more than half a
dozen men.
The Powerful Trio of 1900.
Four years ago when the Republican
national convention was held in Phila-
delphia there were three men who had
more TO do with shaping the destinies
of the party than all the others COM
bined. In some respects they were not
so conspicuous. perhaps. not so spec
tacular as others, but it was their pow
er which controlled the affairs Of the
convention. They were Senator Hanna.
the chairman Of the National Commit
tee; Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. and
Senator Plat of New York Two Of
these. Senator Hanna and Senator Quay.
have only recently died. and while
their advice and counsel will be missed
other leaders have graduated into prom
inence and. guided by experience, are
fully capable of taking their places.
The third member Of that trio which
ruled at Philadelphia will be in Chlca-
go. but he will not be an important fac
tor in shaping either the policy or the
destinies of the party. He has had his
day and a long one Il was. too. and he
was all powerful. but he IS now a relic
Of bygone greatness. II ability 70 man
age party organization may be desig-
mated as greatness. A younger man full
of energy and fired by ambition has dis
placed him in the person of Gov. Bonja-
min B. Odell. and although his influence
will be less potent next Tuesday than
Senator Platt's was in his day. he -.
nevertheless. moving toward the front.

Tor which tickets have already been re-
quested are Tammany. with 900 braves:
the Cook County Marching Club. from
Chicago. with almost as many; the
Jackson Club. from washington. and
the Erie Club. Of Buffalo. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be at least 30 900
marching politicians in St. Louis to at
tend the convention.
The greatest number OF them will
come from the nearby cities and towns,
but II is said that the number that will
come from a distance will be greater
than that which has been seen at any
previous Democratic National Conven-
ton.

The Republicans and Democrats
are organizing in the Philippines to
send delegates to the national con
ventions. They will urge the
adoption Of legislation favorable to
the islands. No provision was
made by either party for the seating
of delegates from the Philippines or
Porto Rico. In the calls issued by
Chairman Hanna and Jones these
islands weren not included among the
states and territories and are not
entitled to representation. Should
delegates present themselves to the
convention it is within the province
of the credential committee to seat
them.

After a great amount Of arguing
and an exhibition of considerable
feeling on the part Of several mem
bers of the Committee on Public
Lands in the Senate, the Committee
presented the bill repeating the ,tim-
beract and placing the disposal of all
the public lands valuable chiefly for
timber in the hands of the Secretary
of the Interior, to be disposed CT by
public auction to the highest bidder,
the moneys received from such
sales to go into the reclamation
fund.
The bill passed the Senate with
out debate. 1t is now in the hands
of the House Committee where it
is not likely to have such smooth
sledging. The House Committee
as a whole is believed to be opposed
to a measure as radical as this, and
doubts are expressed that it will
ever go before the House for a vote.

THE CAT OUT.

1t was not generally known
around town until the recent issue
of the Clown Tattler' that the
Citizens" ticket in the village
election, was backed up or support
ed by a ring" or ''clicque," but
the Tattler has let the cat out of
the bag and removed all suspicion
OF a doubt by the brazen declara-
ton that there is a ''clicque' or
ring and St. is right in line
with the CLIQUE. There is no one
IN ST. Anthony who would suspect
that such men as John McCollum,
George Swartz, Will Wager and w.
W. Youmans would be dominated
by a "clicque" or ring" and we
are not so sure of all of them being
dominated by a ring even after the
Tattler says it is so. But we can
see TO good reason why some of
our good brethren should object to
the taxpayers meeting in open con-
rention and publicly nominating a
ticket composed of composed of the
best citizens in our town. The only
argument advanced tor the return
Of the old board is, that they have
started something" and must car
~ it out on the lines set forth by
the towns legal advisor if it bank
rupts every in it. And a beau
tiful reflection is cast upon all
members of previous boards by the
statement that ''for the first time in
the history of the municipality we
have a board of trustees that have
made an effort to enforce a due OBJ
servance of the laws and ordinances
of the village" "For the first
time just think of it. Not a sa-
loon man in town has been arrested
for the violation of any village ord
nance. The Green House contin-
ues, as of old, to come up and pay
their little monthly blood money to
the city which virtually grants
them a license to do business. The
question naturally arises, do the
good people of ST. Anthony want
more of what they are having, or
will they support a ticket, evrey
member of which has signed a
pledge to eradicate the existing
evils at once.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
The suppression of vice and law

The suppression of vice and law
]essness in various forms in St. An
thony, is becoming a serious ques-
ton; one that demands the atten-
ton of all who reside in our midst.
This is the only village or town in
the county where a house of prosti-
tuition is permitted. Extirpate this
hell-hole, and there will be a reac-
ton that will resound to the moral
and future welfare of Our town. 1t
behooves us as citizens, fathers and
mothers to stand for men who
pledge themselves to eradicate this
evil, against those who license it
by accepting monthly fines.
1t had not been our intention to
take any very active part in the
village election, but when a news
paper (if you are pleased to SO call
it., comes out and makes the brazen
statement that a ;'clicque" or
ring is running the town, and
its editor has the efrontery to
boldly state that he is running the
''clicque," it is time for those who
pay taxes to step up and take a
hand in municipal affairs. The
one who boast that they are Cit,
have new paid a cent of taxes in
st. Anthony, and can put all their
earthly possessions i'll a carpet bag
and leave town in twenty minutes,
and those who own property and
pay the running expenses OF the
city, must stay and foot the city's
bills.

been in this locality but a few
weeks. The remains will be
inferred in the MILFORD Cemetery.

Tilt Over Charge In
Irrigation Bill.

Washington, March 29.-The
question of committee jurisdiction
resulted in a lively session today
in the House Committee on Irriga-
ton of Arid Lands. The committee
adjourned when the hour of II
O'Clock arrived, with an appeal
from the ruling of Chairman
Mondell pending.
The trouble arose over a bill
introduced by Representative
Reeder, providing for amendments
to the national irrigation act.
When the bill was taken up by
committee, Mr.. Reeder moved to
strike out the first two sections.
Subsequently this motion was made
to cover all after the enacting
clause of the bill. Mr.. Underwood
Immediately presented a substitute
which was a repeal clause for
the desert land law.
Mr.. Marshal of North Dakota
made a point of order against this
substitute, first, that it was a
matter yer which the committee
did not have jurisdiction, and
second, that it was not germane to
the pending bill. The chairman
sustained this point Of order, and
from his decision Mr.. Underwood
appealed. A meeting for further
consideration Of the matter has been
called for Thursday.
The repeal Of the desert land law,
the timber and stone acts and the

The Supreme Court Of the United
States has decided that a land claim
under the timber culture law may
be alienated before the expiration
Of the five years. The case lin
which the opinion vas rendered was
that of NJ. J. H. Adams VS.. c. ].
Church, and it originated in
Malhur county, Oregon. The
opinion was by Justice Day, who
said that the requirement to plant
trees made by the timber culture
law places the entry mar under that
law on a footing different from that
of the entryman under the home
stead law.

From Burke County.
Editors Progressive Farmer:

We have had a very dry, cold winter; in fact,
we have not had much rain since last June in
this section, and farmers have had a great deal
of good weather for farm work, being generally
IN good shape with their work. Wheat is not
making much show on the ground at this time,
but some predict we will have a good crop this
year.
In fact, old Burke is on a boom in almost everv
sense, compared with what she was some years
ago. Then she had no Institutions nor manu-
featuring enterprises. Now we have two great
institutions, the Western Insane Asylum and the
Deaf and Blind School, two cotton mills, and

many other manufacturing enterprises too num-
erous to mention. Our farms are in much bet
ter shape-better tools. better stock and better
crops, better prices for land and its products.
Labor is scarce and the farmer cannot pay the
manufacturers prices for labor, hence we must
resort to farm machinery. As to blowing land
for a corn crop, I will give my experience and
success in my next letter.

Spray your fruit trees before warm weather

Franklin Sherman for Bulletin telling all about it.
LYE FOR SPRAYING.
An exchange mentions the use of caustic soda
or the common I've we use to make soap. etc. for
the San Jose Scale with great success. Mr.. M. N.
Bordeaux,a farmer of Columbus County suggested
that we should use it on our apple trees. 1t killed
all the MOSES and everything as far as it reach
ed. The bark was as clean as it is possible to have
the trees. They were as clean as one and two
year old trees, and were not injured in the least.

Lye is dangerous to handle. Wherever it touches

Vinegar is the best antidote in case of a burn.
GROW GRAPHS AND FRUIT.
Do everything to increase the crop of fruit. The
home orchard will give US many a luxury that
will delight our palate during the year. It adds
to the health, thus still increasing its usefulness. |
Grape vines should be pruned and properly
arbored where they need it.. There is a good de- |
mand TOR scuppernoLog grapes, and if last sea-
sons prices continue, the profits will Justify extra |
pains with this grape.
INCREASING COTTON ACREAGE.
The cotton crop seems to take the attention of
farmers to the exclusion of all other crops. There
will be a slight increase in the acreage compared
with last season which will be shown by the June
agricultural report. In some few places the
acreage will be greatly increased, but the crop
Will likely show only a slight increase in yield. We
said several years ago that the limit had been
reached, and we still hold to that opinion. The
question of labor will affect it more than the price.
We will plant on a basis of ten cents for lint.
Should the price be higher we will lose nothing,
but If We should plant OH a higher basis, we might
get in trouble by digging a larger hole than we
could I'LL up. The boys wanted to know if we were
gong to increase our acreage. We told them no.
We do not want our rotation interfered with. We
told the boys the way to increase the crop was bv

without increasing the acreage. The soil will be

Editors Progressive Farmer:
1t is surely true, as stated in the last issue of
The Progressive Farmer, that having worm-free
apples is too easy and simple a matter to be
neglected. The trees should be sprayed three
times. This is the case with apples and pears, so
what we here say will apply to both.
