The Cuban Revolution.

The sensational events OF the
last few days in Cuba, particular
ly the action of President Palma
in suspending the constitutional
guarantees. and ordering the ar
rest of all liberal leaders. nave
reused the officials of the United
States army and navy depart
ments to be prepared fer any con-
tingencies that may arise.
While it is the expressed in
tention of the administration TO
avoid Intervention under the
Platt amendment unless such a
step should become absolutely
necessary the government is
making every preparation to be
ready if called upon. One step
in this direction was the hasty
ordering of the cruiser Des
Moines to Key West, where she
will be within a few hours sail.
of Havana in case of need.
That the critical situation in
Cuba is absorbing the attention
of the administration to the ex-
clusion of all other foreign topics
is indicated by the activity of the
officials in the state, navy and
war departments. The president
at Oyster Bay is keeping in close
touch with every development of
the revolutionary movement il
Cuba and is in constant commu-
by wire with the officials
at Washington, who are in re-
ceipt of detailed instructions
from him as to what they shall
do. The prime object of the adj
ministration at present is to get
at the facts, which is no easy task
in view of the mass of indefinite
that emanate from
various quarters.

Government Ownership.

The New York Times, Dem
ocratic paper, on Monday print
ed the following in an editorial
IN regard to William Jennings
Bryan and his theory of govern
ment ownership of railroads:
In country like Germany,
with $4,000 miles of railroads, or
in France, with 26,000 miles, the
fiscal problems involved in gov
eminent ownership and opera
ton are not of dominant impor-
tnce. With our 212,000 miles of
railroads it is different. The un-
dertaking is too big to be entered
upon in gayety of heart and
lightness of head. Mr.. Bryan
will find that il is too big when
he sits down to elaborate his
plan and favor the public with
details. In fact, the submission
of his theories to serious practi-
cal examination is a superhous
task. They are SO visionary and
so wild, they lie so far outside
the domain of the rational and
the attainable, and they are so
absolutely certain of overwhelm-
ing rejection by the people of the
United States, that his continued
presentation and advocacy Of
them are interesting mainly be-
cause of their effect upon his po-
litical fortunes. 1t has been the
belief of many wise observers of
American politics that the NOM
ination in 1908 of Mr.. Bryan,
with his great popularity, would
compel the Republicans to nom
mate Mr.. Roosevelt as his OPP
onent, it being supposed that un-
der the compulsion of the partys
need to put forward its strongest
man he would reconsider his ex-
pressed determination not to run
again. We are of the opinion
that Mr.. Bryan's Madison
Square Garden escapade leaves
the Republicans free to respect
Mr.. Roosevelt's wish. and to Sc
lect as their candidate some 9th
er man. 1t also forces the Dem
ocrats, if they would escape an
initiation, to. choose some other
candidate than Mr.. Bryan.

To Oppose Crumpacker.

The Gary Indianian, edited by
Republican, and which evident
ly speaks by authority, publishes
this interesting bit of apparently
well-founded political gossip.
The story that the Democrats
and labor element had combined
to defeat Congressman Crum-
packer is verified by the assertion
of President Gompers of the Fed
Grafton of Labor, who has labeled
Mr.. Crumpacker hostile to the
labor interests. Additional veri-
fication is obtained from the in
formation that the friends of
Judge Darroch have lately been
unusually active in labor circles
and have formed combinations of
great assistance to their candi-
date. No route has been over
looked that will make the path a
hard one for the present incum-
bent and all doubtful interests
are being arrayed against him.
The labor vote in the Tenth dis
trict is strong and its effccr is
appreciated on any side. Prcsi-
dent Gompers' agents are scan
ming the list, figuring on the
chances, and if the reports are
satisfactory a fierce bate can
be expected from the com.ina-
ton. What effect it will have ON
Crumpacker's chances for reel
ection is uncertain but will be
unfolded during the progress Of
the campaign.

What Bryan Says.

William Jennings Bryan gave
out statement at Lincoln, Ne
braska, Monday, in which he
said:
"The election in Nebraska is
not only important because of
its bearings on state matters, but
also because of its influence on
the next national campaign. The
vote this year will be taken as an
indication of the trend of public
sentiment. We are entering upon
great fight for the extermina-
ton of the trusts and the protec-
ton of the public from exploita-
ton at the hands of the railroads.
The Republican party has shown
its inability to deal effectively
with these and kindred subjects
Wherever the president has at
tempted to do anything he has
been compelled to follow the
Democratic rather than the Re-
publican platform and the Re-
publicans in congress have nor
supported him. The Republican
senate emasculated his rate bill
and a Republican congress OPP
posed his meat inspection bill.
"The best way to stand by the
president is to elect Democrats
to congress, for the Democrats
have stood by him better than
the Republicans have on the
most important questions"

The Month of August.

August of 1906, memorable
month of a memorable year, will
be printed in red letters in the
calendar of every American far
mer. 1t has surpassed all its pre-
decessors as perfecter and fin
Usher. The splendid rains with
which it was ushered in and
which covered practically our
whole agricultural area, taken in
connection with the steadily diff
fused heat, made the season ideal.
Nothing better could be asked,
nothing finer expected. A great
wheat crop had already been
garnered, an abundant supply of
fruits was in sight, the meadows
were satisfactory, the small
grains ample and to crown it all
August made sure such growth
of corn as has seldom been seen
in the matchless valley of the
Mississippi. We are to have an
other year of great abundance.
of peace and plenty, of abound
ing prosperity, of increasing farm
values and wealth beyond the
dreams of avarice. There will be
millions of smiling farm faces
there will be thousands of happy
farm homes. The foreign trade
that already astonishes the world
will grow still larger, for the
American farmer will have en-
ough and to spare.

court against Leonora and Ru-
dolph Kloepfer for $l3, 500.
The fling of this is sequel to
a case that was originally
brought in the Laporte circuit
court many years ago. One day
Miss Agnes Phillips of Michigan
City fell on a. defective sidewalk
in front of the Kloepfer building
in Michigan City and suffered
permanent injuries. She brought
suit against the city of Michigan
City for $4,000. The case was
taken to St. Joseph county on a
change OF venue and a Judgment
in tlso sum of $4,000 obtained.
An appeal to the supreme court
followed. In the higher co,rt the
Judgment of the lower court was
affirmed and later the City Of
Michigan City was forced to pay
the judgment with interest, the
whole sum being nearly s12. 900.
Altogether the case, in costs, at

TAFT ON TRUSTS.
War Secretary Outlines Policy
of the Administration.

William H. Taft, secretary of
war of the United States, We'd
nesday night delivered one of the
most powerful speeches heard in
Maine during the present cam
paign.
The secretary told how Presi-
dent Roosevelt, aided by Re-
publican congress, had effective
ly placed a curb on the illegal
operations of the so-called trusts
and said the administration
would continue action in this
line. He urged the people to re,
turn Republican house to con
gress SO that the policies of the
president may successfully be
carried out.
He gave in detail the policy of
President Roosevelt and showed
clearly how the Democratic min
ority in congress had attempted
repeatedly, though unsuccessful
ly, to obstruct the presidents
plans.
He said President Roosevelt
was the issue in this campaign.
not in what he has said but what
he has done and what the party
has upheld him in doing.
He said a change in the bust
ness conditions of the country.
in his opinion, had made it wise
and just to revise the schedules
of the existing tariff. The senti-
ment in favor of revision is
growing in the Republican party
and in the near future, he said
the members of the party will
doubtless be able to agree on a
reasonable plan.
He paid his respects to SAM
uel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor,
who organized the fight now DC
ing made on Congressman Lit
tlefield. After reviewing the pro-
visions of the injunction bill
which caused the opposition Of
labor to Mr.. LittleheId and
Speaker Cannon Mr.. Tai, said
that if the bill urged by Gompers
was to become a law it would
make privileged class of labor-
ers who break the law f.y iniuf-
ing others and would CIV. them
immunity from an effective rem
edy that lawbreakers of no other
class enjoy.
Secretary Taft in strong words
referred the evils arising from
the misuse and abuse of the
powerful instrumensalities which
the free opportunity to organize
and combine capital has placed
in the hands of the comparative
1y few.
These evils have become so
widespread, Secretary Taft said.
that the public demanded remc-
dies by legislation to restrain
them and to regulate and super
Use more carefully in future the
exercises of the mighty means
of good and evil which organ
lied capital has proved to be.
The Republican party through
President Roosevelt, said Mr..
Taft. responded to the demand
of the public and effective meas
ures have been taken, to be fol-
lowed later by similar action
which will effectively curb the
illegal operations of the so-called
trusts. 1t is President. Roose-
velt's policy. said Mr.. Taft, to Sc

tice For the Orchard.
BY II. A. GOsSARD Ohio experiment
station.
The following programme for prac-
tice in entomology is designed to sug-
gest to the orchardist what enemies are
most apt to cause him trouble and what
to do in April and May to forestall
them:
For the Apple.
If bud worms or case borers are
present In large numbers, spray with
arsenicals just before leaf buds burst.
Omit unless these insects are present.
For the two insects mentioned in
preceding paragraph make second
spraying about week later than the
first, or just when the leaf buds begin
to show green at the tips.
Just before the blossoms open spray
with bordeaux, combined with an ar
semitic, for cankerworEls, tent cater
pillars, plum curculio, scab, leaf spot,
etc. A very important application.
Just after the blossoms fall or while
they are falling repeat the foregoing
for codling moth, cankerworms, curcu-
Ito, tent caterpillars and fungous dis
eases. Very important against cooling
moth
About seven or ten days after the
last spraying directed in preceding
paragraph repeat for the same troubles
Examine trunks and large limbs for
borers and destroy all found, with
knife, probe or carbon bisulphide.
For the Peach.
If San Jose scale is present spray
with Iime-sulphur wash. This viii also
prevent leaf curl.
Two or three sprayings with arsenate
of lead may be given to prevent curcu-
lilo, or Earring may be commenced as
soon as the trees are in blossom and
should continue for six or eight weeks.
Spraying should be made with arsenate
of lead only and in combination with
weak bordeaux or in water alone.
First spraying as soon as leaves begin
to appear and the others at intervals
of ten days or two weeks.
Examine the base of trunks beneath
the surface of the ground and all gum
my places for larvae of peach borer.
Destroy borers with knife or boiling
water.
For the Plum.
Curculio is the principal offender at
this time and may be treated as given
fer the peach.
If plant lice become abundant spray
with whale oil soap-one pound in seven
or eight gallons of water.

GARDEN KEYBOARD
Systematic records Of the days work

Systematic records of the days work
are important in gardening and save
much trouble and guesswork. The
professional gardener nearly always
has such a record, but the amateur
usually does not keep any memoranda
Of his work. This is unfortunate in
deed, for in reality the amateur needs
these reminders more than the pro-
fessional man.
Very frequently at the end Of the
season the gardener finds his spinach
crop to have been the most profitable
one of the year, says one of the craft.
Sow in drills one foot apart, using seed
freely
The most serious difficulty we have
in radish culture is the little white
worm that attacks the growing roofs.
The only remedy seems to be to eln-
ploy new and different soil every year,
making it very rich so as to secure a
rapid growth.
A successful Missouri grower be-
lieves in thorough cultivation of straw
berries after each rain. When runners
begin to start freely cultivate only one
way. Continue this work until frost.
As warm weather approaches plant
lice often attack the caulifiower. Fine
tobacco dust sprinkied over the plant
will keep these down. Tobacco stems
from a factory laid along the rows
early in spring viii usually prevent
their appearance
Sow radishes as early as the ground
can be worked and every two weeks
throughout the season for succession.
Tie Scarlet Globe varieties are the
best and attractive either for home
supply or market.

AFernery.

Is there a corner of the yard cut off
from the sunshine by a high fence or a
tree or a building? That is the ideal
spot for a fernery. You can get hand
some native hardy ferns in any quanti-
ty from the nearby woods. Plant them
Ia your shaded corner, and there they
will live year after year, or, instead Of
planting the ferns in the level ground,
gather pile of stones and build a
rough rockery with them, the rougher
the better. Leave plenty of creyices
among the stones and fill these with
rich earth. then plant your ferns in the
crevices.
