BRYAN AND THE NEGROES

The desire to humiliate Roosevelt
and Taft for the position they took
when certain negro troopers shot
up the town of Brownsville moved a
number of negro leaders in the North
to send a delegation to see Bryan
and sound him as to his position on
the Brownsville incident and the
negro question in general The bait
was held out it is stated, that large
negro support could be had for the
Democratic national ticket in the
close states of the North, if satisfac-
tory assurances were given of a sym
pathetic feeling on the part of Bryan
toward the race.
The New York papers have had
long interviews with several of the
promoters of this movement. The
committee that called on Mr.. Bryan
reported to Bishop Walters, Of the
Methodist African Church. that Mr.
Bryan informed them that he consid-
cred Roosevelt's action in discharging
the negro soldiers without an indivi-
dual trial for each of them as an out
rage that deserved rebuke, and that
if he were elected president he would
see that justice was done and only the
guilty, if any, were punished. AS
to the appointment of negroes to poll
teal offices, if the report of the COM
mittee is correctly given, Mr..

Roosevelt Royalties
New York World.)

1t seems likely that while the
troops are fighting nobly at Pine
camp the real honors in strategy are
being won at Oyster Bay, whence
come reports of engirdling lines of
magazine publishers and offers of
dollar a word for Rooseyeltian ac-
counts of ig-game-hunting in Africa.
A dollar word was the price paid
for nine chapters of an unfinished
Disraeli novel twenty years after
the authors death. For so cents
word Conan Doyle resurreeted Sher-
lock Holmes. after having thrown
him over a cliff Richard Harding
Davis is said to have commanded
somewhere and somehow, 40 cents a
word, which is five cents more than
Rudyard Kiplings rate for kim.
Booth Harrington, according to au-
thor gossip, can sell a 25-cent-a-Word
story any time.
AS for the drawers of royalties on
big sellers" among popular novels
there is no use figuring on a word
basis. How these petty princes of
literature would scorn, if they knew
about them, the $3.50 received by
Charles Reade for the American use
of Put Yourself in His Place" the
$500 which went similarly to Thack
cry for Henry Esmond," and the tri-
butes of 500 for adam Bede" and
$500 for "Silas Mariner" afforded by
Yankee publishing thrift to George
Eliot!
However, apart from consideration
of what compensation other masters
Of the pen have won, the grateful fact
made plain concerning the author at
Oyster Bay is that his seven years
and more of "a perfectly corking time"
in standing the Federal Government
on its head have not taken from the
value of his labors in that field Of
letters which is his natural delight

Bryan gave assurances that they
would not be overlooked if they
gave support to the ticket and proved
themselves worthy of recognition for
their services. If elected president
and the appointment of a Justice of
the Supreme Court came into his
hands, he would not appoint a man
who felt inimical to the negroes as a
people IN his speeches and official
acts he would remember their rights
at all times and endeayor to have
them dealt by justly.
Politics is so queer a game that it
is hard to tell whether this is a cor
rect report of what occurred or not
There seems to be no doubt that a
committee of negroes called quietly
on Mr. Bryan some days ago and con
ferred with him about securing negro
support for the Democratic ticket.
Their support to any extent might
have considerable effect on the result
in Indiana and some other states
were the two parties are close togeth-
er in numerical strength, enabling
the negro voters to decide the cleo
ton. 1t was undoubtedly strong
temptation to Bryan to conciliate and
secure such support There is no
question, though, that he is treading
on very dangerous ground and that all
of his abilities as a diplomatic poll
tician will be called into play if he
handles fire of this character without
getting burned.

They are now pointing out that
John Sherman was originally a green

provided for the delegates, several
hundred feet long, with 43 expert mix

be denied this supreme pleasure of
convention days and be robbed OF

their drinkless old age.

VALUE OF ENSILAGE.
Slo Must Be Filled Carefully if Best
Results Are to Be Obtained.

] have long been believer in thu
value OF the giIo, and have two on my
place. / think there is no safer invest
ment than a good lot Of green corn stored
/ in silo. 1t is not likely to burn. as j.

deteriorating; in TACT, the older it be
comes the better it IL for feeding pur.
poses, for it undergoes ripening process
| aying \ writer in the Country Gentle.
man The time for filing the silo i.
here, and I wish to give few words OF
caution One is. not to FIJI the silo with
corn that is too green. There is some
times a great temptation to do this as
the work on the farm may run in such
q way that it would make filling more
convenient at one time than another
Sometimes the farmer feels that he can
t2ke advantage of changes in the wealth
er to do work that would naturally be
done at another time. But by all means
wait till the corn is at its best for cut-
ting for ensilage.
The best time il when the corn ker-
nels are out of the milk stage and are
glazed and quite hard. This is my prac-
tice. though | find that some farmers
put their corn in when the kernels are
just u little out OF the milk / like the
corn at chat stage Of npeness at which
lit will keep out the air. That is the
difficult thing about it when it is a
little too ripe at cutting time. It does
not pack close and the air gets in and
that produces mold The corn should be
cut when the lower leaves are still green,
but are beginning to show the effects of
the summers heat
If have corn that Is a little too ripe,
and some that is not SO much so, I put
in the ripest first, SO that it will come
at the bottom Of the silo The result
it that the enormous pressure above it
keeps it packed tight and keeps out the
air, while if it were on top much air
would work into it for some feet in
the middle and for a long distance down
the sides In the filing of the silo
man can easily lose quite lot of money.
Tie must plan his work so that the men
that are running the ensilage cutter
will not be standing idle, but win be
able to keep things moving This will
have to be regulated according to the
distance the corn field is from the silo.
for there will be more lost time if the
determine to 60 through hard course of
if it is close by Ii the hauling is a
slow job, then it is better to put the
binder in early and let the hauling get

it's proper season. IL Is better to pick
apples a little underripe tnan to leave
them upon the trees TO be blown off or
TO be frozen upon the trees.
Handle apples carefully. In the orch
ards Of Oregon each apple is regarded
as an individual and Is handled as care
fully as we might our egg product. Az
soon as the fruit Is taken from the
tree, put ii Immediately IN some shell
tered place, remove from tine hot sun
of the day and the frost Of the nights.
Tho subject OF marketing should be of
great Importance TO the farmer fruit
grower. Personally, / believe that there
should be revolution in the methods
Of marketing all lines OF crop produc.
tions in New England, and perhaps
specially the apple.
While the farmer fruit grower who
has been making q speciality Of the ap.
pie in all its phases may succeed in
marketing his crops with good results,
the average apple producer is at the
mercy Of Che dealer, many times
most unprincipled fellow. A farmer
fruit grower who takes no care in pro.
ducing his fruit had better sell at the
earliest opportunity which he may nave
and take the price that may be offered.
Those who are taking more pains with
their product may proceed in a more
leisurely manner. believe the best re-
suits for any apple, producing section
may be attained by cooperative sys-
tenn Of marketing. This is a phase
that cannot be outlined in detail by
any one off.hand, but the general out
line would be for a section TO unite
on a man TO handle their product, TO
act as a go-between between them and
the dealers. This agent should be a
man thoroughly familiar with the pro-
ducing end, likewise in close touch with
the market condition as IL may pertain
to varieties, proper methods of grading
and packing the fruit. He must under
stand not only the home markets, but
likewise the foreign markets. He
should have the charge Of selling the
product of section, and reaching all
individuals as one individual, making
prices for the different lots of fruit, &C.
cording 10 the varieties and grades, in
structing and inspecting the packing Of
the fruit and stencling each lot with
owners name or numbers. This is
the method when perfected in all its de-
tails, that has brought wealth and pros
perity to the fruit growers of some of
our great western ststes-the applica
ton Of sensible, scientific cooperative
ideas and methods to the great apple
industry.
