WAR BETWEEN STATES.

"The war between the States

who would fight to the death for

MAJOR BURoHETT's ADDRESS.
Comma 'der, Comrades, Ladies
ndSsentlemen :-r want to thank
you for the splendid pleasure which
you have afforded me of being
present today and witnessing this
beautiful ceremony of decorating
the graves of our distinguished
dead in this delightful spot.
Lexington has enjoyed the dis
tinction for nearly one hundred
years Of producing our most dis
tinguished fellow Kentuckians. In
peace or 10 war their great ability
and distinguished services were the
ae!l!sh. Of the heart of the people
of Lexington. With your splendid
system of education, your univer-
sity, colleges, male and female and
ether institutions of learning, from
which comes out each year young
men and women equipped for all of
the avenues of life and other glori-
Sous records in history have evinced
the truth of their qualifications
and it has resulted in the universal
admiration of all Kentuckians.
"We meet today after forty years
for the purpose of paying tribute
to our distinguished dead and to
lay upon their resting places the
choicest flowers of spring time, in
dicating our faithful love and fidel-
ity TO them for their patriotism and
loyalty to the flag of their country
and the perpetuation of the very
principle for which they fought.
| believe we would be derelict in
the performances of all of our du-
ties if we were to fail to be adyo-
Gates of just distribution of all
the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties under the laws of the country
in which we live. The rich and
the poor alike under the Constitu
tion and the Declaration of Inde-
e&hdence itself are justly entitled
to the equal protection of the law
and the just distribution of all the
benefits under onr Republican form
of government and as long as the
eternal law of love and gratitude
lasts, it is our bounded duty to see
that each and every one is the just
recipient of this protection.

The frequenr assemblies and the
constant reunions of different bodies.
associations and societies, which are
nothing but protests against the pre-
sent feudal system, ought to convince
the ctjonaries, and especially our
sociologic treasurer, that the people
are unable to support those so called
new methods, which are beyond ques'
tion mogrebino.
The meeting which was held last
evening was solem manifestation OF
protest against the destruction decreed
by the treasury.
There were things said at that NEE
ting which ought to be of inestimable
service to the treasurer in compiling
his future luminous works on soc1olo-
gy, that is if he wishes to save his ma
me as sociogist from the fate which
has fallen upon it as a fnancier.
The poor Mr.. Willoughby perhaps
does not know, and never will know,
that tie most scientific and legal sys-
tenn of contribution is that based upon
income; neither does he know, that
notwithstanding the native Incidence,
whose discovery is not due to Mr..
Post, that here every one has taken into
account, that he. like all the members
of the redemptionist congregation, is
nothing more than hazy and amb-
ulent propagator of what he judges
to be systems doctrines and methods
of universal and infallible efficacy, but
which have been damaged in the trans.
planting, to Judge by the disturbing
effects which have been produced be-
re, if it be true that in the mother coun-
try they have given snch excellent
results.
Last nights assembly was a mani
festation of protest. Protest against
the conduct Of the treasurer who per-
sists in maintaining appraisements
whose falsity is obviously apparent;
protest against the system which perm
its those outrages and leaves citizens
at the mercy of abulico functionaries,
given to all kinds of violences and on
occasions to the most repugnant vices;
it was protest against contumacy
without extenuatlon and without pre-
cedent. a protest against the acceptan-
ce of the recent appraisement of pro-
perty in San Juan, as if it were in
fallible, irreproachable and exact; as
if it had been made in accordance
with law.
The pretension thss the value of
properties has incresed in San Juan,
is ridiculous and absurd, a fact we'll
known by those who make the claim;
a contention which accentuates the
crisis in the country and time passes
without there being any cessation of
the mortal sceneI of ruin which have
enveloped the portorican life in all its
manifestations.
The attempt to throw upon three
native professionals the consequences
of all the acts committed by the re-
demptionist trust for the liquidation
of other peoples is perfdious act of
dissimulation.
1t certainly is anything but COM
forting spectacle, that which is pre-

in the vaults Of the treasury, but IN

former economic exercises, which II
the government required in moment
perhaps, could not be furnished
with the promptness which the exlg-
encies of the case demanded.
How justsfy that mortal blockade,
that incessant persecution of the tax
payers, if it is demonstrated by that
which our tutors call IAN overplrs",
collected in former oriental and fa-
ntastic budget, is unused by the go
vernment, but intead serves to promo-
testhe business and the surplus of a
foreign bank?
1t is absolutelyInecessary that there
reign a serene spirit in the tempest
nous regions in which the occupants
of power hatch their truculent mis-
deeds, and if it is true that Mr.. Wi
lloughby is an excellent student of
sociological problems, he should ex-
plain to his colleagues and inform
his acolytes that along the road Of
ruin people are brought to desperation;
that the abuses of power, the dem
ands Of the insular treasury; the per-
secutions of badly named 6nancierS
have been the essential cause of that,
which at times, has been manifested
in the distrust and suspicious of the
community; that unrest which on occas-
ions has taken hostile attitude, when
the instinct of self preservation has
been aroused.
1t is very singular, that having a
surplus of money the seeds of alarm
should be sown among the proprle-
tors, theatening them so seriously
that they saw no other means of re-
lief and salvatio than in banding to-
gether for defense against the assaults
of the insular treasury.
If the assembly of proprietors sue

nancier that he ough to make his de-
mands conform to the actual conditions
of the country, without attempting to
spend cent more than is absolutely
necessary to meet the exigencies of
the budget, and if they can convey to
the mind of Mr.. Willoughby, that
thougha sociologist, he is not of the
best, that Mr.. Hollander is the author
of the principal trick of expansionism,
they will have rendered an incalculab-
le service to our Treasurer in giving
him an elemental lesson in the princi-
plies of economy.
And it might also be wise Ethat the
lesson be transmitted to Washington,
where they are ignorant of the fact
that this island, whose civilization
antedates and is superior to that of the
mother country, demands for its use
and government, methods and procee-
dings proper and suitable for the latin
race. and not the exotic systems which
the offer, and which by comparison,
present painful and brutal contrast.

Lige Howard and Ben Williams. the two negroes charged with stealing brass, were bound over to the criminal court yesterday by Judge Feagin of the police court. Their bond was fixed at $200 each.
 Because of old age the charge of being drunk was mol pressed on promise that he would swear off for twelve months. He agreed to do this.
 The unexpected happened in the trial of the three negroes arrested for creating disturbance at the circus grounds Mon- day afternoon. During the taking of the testimony in the case of Robert Smith, and Dan and Robert Whitlaw, charged with assault with the intent to murder, witness implicated another negro. Dill Finley, who was said to have been mixed up in the brawl. He was arrested immed- lately afterward by Policeman Thomson and charged with assault with intent to murder. The case wasg postponed un- til November B.

 Fifty acres make a good farm, and with much less land than ths a very sue cessful business may he carried on If one adapts his crops and methods to the nuRber of acres that he has and even If 1t Is rough and broken If may be made to produce good deal towards a comfort able living if judiciously managed.
 l have seen the poorest and toughest kind of land turned to good account by making a hog pasture of 1t. Poultry too may be kept on the same kind of land while plums or some other fruit could at the same time be grown thereon. Bees. too. can be kept almost anywhere, pro- ducing honey to add to the years income. Indeed, there are a great many persons in different parts of the country who make money from bees alone. The possi- bilities of the soil are wonderful if the cutivator will but do his part well. save all fertilizing matter and apply it to the soil.
 I am sure that if many of the young men who go to the city would remain in the country and go to work on this line something as I have suggested. putting their whole energy into it. they would be far better off and happier too. The places are very plenty where desirable farm homes can be built up. and many of these places can be purchased cheap.

HANDLING coRNsTALks.

From The homestead.
 There has always been a difference of opinion among farmers as to the best way to handle cornstalks and we presume that this difference will continue to exist, on account of the fact that there Is such a variety of conditions in the corn belt. Some soils do not need the addition of vegetable matter. and when this is true the practice of burning the stalks may not be wasteful. On the other hand, where soils have been cropped for number years in succession the vegetable matter supplied by dead cornstalks may be of considerable value.
 It is safe to say that the number who burn their stalks are in the minority, so that the question of greatest importance is how to handle them so they will do the least harm and do the most good. In many cases where corn is made to follow corn the blows are put into the fields and the stalks turned under without any previous preparation. Then, again, there are those who use the stalk cutter so that the old cornstalks are cut to pieces and, in turn. are much more com pletedly buried by the blows. This is an important step in advance over the origi- nal method of turning them under whole. The objection to blowing the stalks under without first breaking them is due to the fact that planting and cultivation are afterward interfered with to consid- erable extent.
 To go one step further, we find those who adopt the practice of disking their corn land before blowing it. This method, we believe. is entitled to first place among those mentioned Tl.is not only cuts the stalks into comparatively small lengths but in addition it produces mulch on the surface so that the furrow slice when inverted brings about immediate capi- lary connection. Past experience demon strates that this practice, during dry years especially. often results in making

TYLER'S BOND WAS
 REDUCED TO $500
DID NOT WANT TO BE TRIED ON FRIDAY, so THE CASE WAS SET FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AT 2 O'CLOCK.

Choosing jail rather than going to trial on Friday. Johnson Ray Tyler the alleged pickpocket, was remanded to prison yes- terday to remain there until Monday af- ternoon when his preliminary hearing will be before Justice Benners. His bond was reduced to $500, or half the amount fixed by Judge Feagin of the police court. Ty- Ter said 1t did not make any difference at what amount the bail was fixed, as he could not make it.
 This statement was made while B. M Allen, his attorney, was making a plea for a reduction.
 When the case was called yesterday afternoon before Justice Benners, Tyler and the woman arrested with him, Edith Johnson. alias Lily Ray. were brought from the county jail. The woman had already been bound over to the criminal court under 5000 bond and accompanied the man she claims as her husband merely to see how he came out. Attorney Allen asking for change of jurisdiction when Judge Feagin said he would convict Ty- Ter on the same evidence produced at the woman's hearing.
 Solicitor J. B. Aird asked for a con-
 
 tinuance on the ground that one of the prosecution's principal witnesses, J. B. Fowler, was unable to be present because of wounds sustained in fight on street car several nights ago. Then arose the argument about the amount of bond, dur ing which Tyler jumped up and said; There is no use wrangling over my bond. couldn't make it. no matter how low 1t Is fxed.'
 The time for hearing the case came up and Friday seemed to be the only day when all persons interested could be pres ent Attorney Allen was not sure about the luck of Friday and turned appealing ly to his client. Fix it on another day" said Tyler with smile. The woman at his side also laughed and Monday at 7 o'clock was the time finally arranged. 1t was then that Justice Benners announced a reduction of the bond to $500.
