FRANCO BITTERLY ARRAIGNED
BY REVOLUTIONARY LEADER

Joao ChagaS, leader of the reVolu-
fionary wing of the Portuguese radl-
Gals, recently arrested in Lisbon on
charge of conspiracy against the gov
ernment published a singing ar
raignment of Dictator Franco In the
Neue Freie Presse of Vienna. Because
Dom Carlos had the Lisbon press so
thoroughly muzzled Chagas was forced
to publish his indictment in the Aus
frian paper. In reviewing the article
the Literary Digest says:
Mr. Chagas. who writes with blood
in his eye, begins with a sketch or
FRANCOIS career as a member of the
reform party, minister of the interior
and of the treasury, until he hnally
became a reactionary, and stood forth
in defense OF the monarchy, against
democratic ideas. But he had TOO
much ambition to be contented with
the position of a mere helper He left
the Reformers, yet failed to rally
round him even traction OF ms
Corner colleagues. The name Joao
Franco reused no sympathy,
He became a party to himself ana
is at nresent, we are told, the tool OF
Dom CARLOS. He is a dictator without
friend. In this connection Mr..
Chagas declares:
1.-THE psychology of Joao Franco Is
by no means complex. lie is a sly
rogue, of headlong and masterful
nature But he is a tiger who as
sumes tn. pls vfulness of the cat. his
idiosynciasy has nothing in it that IS
in harmony either with our era or our
race. he is type essentially repro
ducing the old South American dicta-
tors WHO were half-statesman, half
hrigand, like Lopez of Paraguay. He
IS not without a certain intelligence,
and certain frankness that LENDS 10
his words the appearance OF high
sense of honor and loyalty. This quar-
;ty of specious candor has opened 10
him a path to power. ana mas ei. T.sa

may smile ana smile and be villain,
FRANCO. we are told, is monster or
discrimination and Is only working for
his OWL hand. Thus we read:
The whole of his administration is
saturated with deceit and falsehood.
Ills liberal programme lie; his admin
'!strative prog1 ana lie. He has set
yoke upon the neck of Portugal
which the country can never shake off
except by revolution. But has he in
troduced a reign of economy in con-
trast with the wastefulness of prede-
cessors? According to the calculations
of one of our foremost publicists, the
cost of his administration during the
trief period of eighteen months has
amounted to 10000 contos of refs Tor
about s90,00O,000]. This man cries out
against corruption. Portugal has
never had a minister so utterly cor
rupt. He has begun, moreover, to cor
rupt tn king, and has completely cor
rupted the upper classes, whose help
he felt he needed. For this purpose
he has raised the civil list of the king
end increased the pay of commissioned
and ncncomn.issioned officers Inc
civil service with us forms Whole
army. The support of this army was
indispensable to him. He accordingly
has reduced the dues and taxes 10
which they were subject. In word,
he has followed, point by point, the
policy of the old parties which We Re-
nubllcans have striven to supplant. he
wishes to raise up a clientele Oh
friends H. distributes peerages, state
Offices positions in the state bank ana
other well-endowed places
I'm short, we are assured, Franco is
n reckless adventurer whose sole aim
is to remain in power and exercise au.
thority, as is shown by an anecdote OF
his youth. In the words of Mr.. Chagas'
'What is the political aim of this
liberal who is a traitor to freedom,
tlis ruler who declares that he is
strong III his rectitude, but is still as
thoroughly corrupt as the others? He
has no aim. He is an adventurer VINO
seeks adventures, at any cost, tragic or
bloody or what not. A certain friend
recently told a story of his boyhood:
eff 1 should ever reach the summit OF
power in the kingdom" he is reported
as saying, II will never give up my
position until am thrown out OF the
window" Perhaps, indeed, this will
some day be his fate

Tyson Says
Six Months

The medical term for kidney trou-
ble'' is Nephritis. Medical works agree
that it is durable during the acute or
first stage and that it is incuraple IN
the second or chronic stage
When is the line crossed? One OF
the latest authorities, James Tyson, M
D., professor of medicine in the UNI
versity of Pennsylvania, says IN ms
late work, page 121, that the changes
have been observed as early as the
tenth week and are probably estab-
lished in all cases by THE SIXTH
MONTH.
The name Nephritis means infam-
nation of the kidneys and the books
having nothing for it physicians have
been helpless (the deaths have grown
to 10 daily, and Prof. Tyson plainly
says: Page 1855 as to curative measures
to restore the kidney to it's normal
condition. II BELIEVE THERE ARE
NONE"
The inevitable logic of this situation
is that as Fulton's Renal Compound is
the only thing known that reduces in
Examination of the kidneys after it has
become chronic, 1t is the only thing in
the world that people can look to for
recovery who have had kidney trouble
longer than six months.
(Note--In fact. it is the only thing
that acts directly on kidney inflamma-
ton at any stage, first or last. But it
naturally reduces it more quickly be-
fore than after It becomes chronic.)

TRAGEDY MAKES PROFOUND
SENSATION IN RUSSIA

Ey AsSOClHt' n EASSS
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3.-The
agic occurrences at Lisbon have
created deep impression on all Sec
lions of society here, and the news
papers that appeared today comment
freely on the events that occurred.
The Russ in a daring style draws
thinly yelled parallel on conditions III
Portugal and Russia and warns the
government in almost so many words
that there is danger of-a similar event
here.
The lamentable and awful tragedy in
Portugal, the paper says, was due to
the fact that the king did not under
stand his people and was attempting
to stem by dictatorial methods or re-
preston the irresistible striving of the
masses to take part in the government
The tragedy happened at the very mo-
ment when Premier Franco seemingly
had succeeded in restoring order by
series of unprecedented repressive
measures. The Novoe Vremya, although
attributing the plot to anarchy, to
which all government is obnoxious, also
connects the crime with the Dictator
ship of Franco, which met with both
open and secret resistance from all
political parties.
The paper SAYS that Franco proved
himself q child in the face of danger,
which evidently was known to large
number of the people. Much of the
plans of the Russian. terrorists' assass-
nation of Alexander II were matter
of almost common knowledge in st.
Petersburg.
Other newspapers express horror at
the ASA sinations and voice their SYM
pathy for the Portuguese nation and
the bereaved queen.
Grand Duke Ni~holas called at the
Portuguese legation here today and
expressed the condolences of the i'm
perial family
Foreign Minister Iswolsky, foreign
ministers and ambassadors and many
high Russian functionaries also left
cards at the legation.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. S.-William
Jennings Bryan was entertained at
luncheon at the Racquet club here to-
day as the guest of ROLAND S. Nor
riss, president of the Pennsylvania
Democratic club. Twenty persons were
present.
Before going to the club Mr.. Bryan
was asked by reporter whether he
was a candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination. Mr.. Bryan
dictated the following reply:
IF the voters of the Democratic
party want another than myself NOM
mated at Denver they ought to instruct
their delegates to that effect If they
want me they ought to instruct their
delegates for me. 1t is not matter
to be decided by me or by any small
faction of the Democratic voters.
1T Is for the majority of the Demo-
cratic voters to determine. In Novem-
Der last to stop the misrepresentation
which were going about as to what |
might or might not do and to the
conditions under which I might or
might not be candidate, | stated that
/ would not ask for nomination, but
that / would be q candidate If 1t was
the decree of the Democratic party
that / should be.
Believing that in parties as in pop
ular government authority comes up
to the official from the people, believe
that voters when they gather in their
communities should express themselves
on party principles and candidates and
then select delegates in harmony with
their ideas.
instructions are Democratic because
the delegate has no authority except
as he receives instructions from the
voter, and the delegate ought to say
that which the voters want said

ABUNDANCE OF PLANT FOOD.
Farmer Should Get 1t Into the Soil as
a Fertilizer.

Plant food is one of the most profit
able things that the farmer a put
into his soil. If fertilizer of any
kind put into the soil will bring back
its cost in increased crop, then the APP
~plication has been q success But the
chances Of additional returns are so
great that it should be the aim Of
every farmer to continually feed his
land. Farm manur is good, but farm
manure is not all that should be addde
to land, for the reason that farm ma
nure does not exist in enough abun-
We know of a farmer that c%ultivates
a large farm we'll and gets fair re-
turns from it. But he makes it a rule
to apply to his land only the manure
made on the farm. AS he keeps only
enough cattle for his own use and
only enough horses to do the work of
the farm, the supply of manure is
comparatively short. Yet he enforces
his rule Of not buying fertilizer from
off the farm. He has been a great
cultivator and has tried to make Gull
tivation take the place Of both cul-
tivation and the supplying Of an
abundance of plant food. 1t is true
that cultivation helps increase the
plant food in the soil, but to some ex-
tent it also hastens the burning up of
plant food in the soil by exposing the
turned up soil to the conditions found
in the dust mulch.

HANDLING or eRAlN.
Hints by q Farmer Who Thinks Hs
Can Improve on Present Methods.

Compared with former years, thresh.
ing is an easy matter. The wind.
stacker and the %self-feeder have great
ly reduced the size of the average
threshing gang. The weigher and
sacker are each doing noble work. Yet,
not more than half of us farmers
make such S of them that our grain
is handled in the most economical
manner possible, declares a farmer in
Home and Farm.
T~hreshing directly from the field is
often a great time-saver, as it saves
the time used in moving away the
sheaves. But it Is in caring for the
grain as it comes from the thresher
where most Of us lose time. Ordi-
narily it is sacked and carried to the
granary, requiring five or six men. By
using an elevator on the separator,
and two tight wagon boxes, one man
a easily care for the same amount
of grain. If no elevator is at hand,
1t takes but two men. Drive the
wagon alongside the machine and lift
the grain into the box. One man can
do this while the second unloads.
In hauling to market a large box
holding 60 or 70 bushels is especially
valuable. More grain a be hauled
and easier, without the expense or
bother Of sacks, which are mighty un-
handy. A box with f1aring sides, hold
ing 100 bushels of oats, was made for
US at a cost of SIG.

tween the points, as there are eight
