"The Populist demand is that all money in
circulation shall be legal tender for all debts,
public and private, and shall be issued to the
public without the intervention of banks. The
only way to regulate the value of money is to
regulate its volume, I mean by that, regulate
the amount of money in existence, that is to
say, in circulation.''
"The Populist not only demands that con-

contrary is the truth -

When seen this morning in reference to the
old boat, Mr.. Walker admitted that he was
passenger on Southern train about month
ago with Mr.. Watson, and that as they were
passing the boat, Mr.. Watson s attention was
called to it, He became interested and stated
that he intended to write an article for his
magazine, suggesting at the same time that
something should be done at once to preserve
the old relic. Later, he wrote to Mr.. Walker
and asked that a souvenir postcard containing
a picture of the "Marshall'' be sent him, and
in doing this made the suggestion contained
above.
Quite number of persons interested in the
old boat have looked at it recently, and it is
generally believed that it would be impossible
to move it even in sections, because it would
fall to pieces on account Of the now rapid
decay of the timbers, especially the main
timbers, which would be necessary in an
attempt to move the boat. The suggestion Of
Mr. Watson that the boat be walled in where
it rests in an effort to preserve it seems to be
about the only means whereby it may be saved,
and such movement only needs leader to
carry it into execution.
There is not the slightest doubt about the
boat being the one which conveyed the remains
Of Stonewall Jackson to Lexington for burial
because City Sergeant S. H. Johnson was
to the captain who is now living in Buchanan
and Adolphus Humbles. the well-known colored
resident was also employed upon her

upon the elections in Indiana, New York
or other States. The Democratic party
changes it's creed every four years, but the
independence party has already changed
it's creed twice during this year When
it met in Indianapolis some months ago, it
was in favor of ship subsidy and the

to be no good reason why the Populist

Mr.. Hearst's denunciation of both the
old parties falls flat with a public which
knows he can not now be better informed
of the decadenCe and corruption of both
the parties than he was when he leagued
himself first with the one and then with
the other in New York politics.
The labor plank, in SO far as it de
mands that no in junction should be issued
until after trial upon the merits, that such
trial should be had before Jury, and that
in no case of alleged contempt should any
person be deprived of liberty without
trial by jury, is revolutionary. English
Jurisprudence has always recognized the
inherent right of a court to protect itself
and to maintain it's dignity by Furnishing
for contempt those who in its presence,
or within its jurisdiction, defy it's authori-
ty. To say that the courts should be de-
prived Of this inherent and necessary
power is preposterous.
To say that no injunction shall issue
until after trial upon the merits of the
case is too ludicrous for serious consider

that wherever a prima facie case is made

can be heard.
Labor leaders are just human like the

from doing wrong.
Mr.. Hearst denounces the blacklist.
That is all right, but he should have de-
nounced the boycott also. The one is as
bad as the other. The blacklist is the
employers boycott of the laborer. The
boycott is the laborers' blacklist of the
employers. In principle they are precise

of being taught to become something
more than mere instinct. Kittenhood
is the time when they should be trained
to cleanliness and good habits. If any
tricks are to be taught. teaching should

gently and with infinite patience; cat
will not learn anything by harsh words
and whippings. Begin with simple
things and the results will be startling.
All cat lovers will tell of instances
when cats have shown a power of rea-
soning, almost of thinking. which makes
one wonder IL the old theory that hu-
man souls who neglected to cultivate
their mental faculties on earth return
to live again here in the shape OF cats
is true.

country ever since 1895. Almost every

not at all necessary to be so sensitive.
yet cats like to be petted and loved
and spoken to. They cannot stand
frightening. scolding or whipping and
will never forgive the offender. They
are like sensitive plants and shut
themselves from human beings who
do not care for them.
They are the most misunderstood Of
all household pets. Their peculiar and
characteristic dignity and self-respect
have led some people to think that
they have no affection or intelligence.
Their nature is, to be sure, complex.
and every cat has its own peculiar in
dividuality and, being extremely ner-
vous and sensitive, it has been found
very hard to study them. yet thou
sands OF people who have studied
them will admit that cats love people
in their reserved and quiet way only
when they think their love is not
wasted.

Naturally the first question asked by
a novice would be how much money
would be required as a capital TO start
with?
Unless one has thorough previous
experience In caring for and marketing
them IL is always advisable that the
novice should begin on a small scale
Thus one would not only start with
small capital, but gain plenty OF expe-
rience and study cat nature, which is
so essential to have success with them.

body should be longer than that of the
ordinary cat in proportion to its size,
and be extremely graceful and covered
with long, silky hair. which is crinkly,
like that OF the Angora goat. This hair
should be as fine as possible and not
wooliy. The legs are of moderate
length, but look short on account of
the moderate hair on the body. Little
tufts OF hair growing between the toes
indicate high breeding. The tail should

Perhaps, owing to the cats delicate
organism, she is heir. to various kinds
of ailments and diseases. The old say
ing, There is nothing SO sick as a sick
cat" is quite true. yet the cat will sub

her alone a day or. two. With peace
and quiet, plenty of water and grass
and a warm corner to lie in the sick

her or call an experienced veterinarian.
For obvious reasons homeopathic reme-
dies are the best for cats
Breeding OF cats for colors and other
points is science by itself and should
be studied by every cater.
If one does not like cats and is not
sympathetic with them it is quite GER

success in breeding them. The writer

what to do and one must mainly rely
upon ones own personal study and
observation.
Proper housing is one of the most .
essential things to success in breeding
cats. The system of living in fats is
not conducive to cat culture, and al
though one can raise harder animals
at less cost in the country, there the
cat raiser has the disadvantage of
being far from the purchasing public,
the society people really constituting
the market Many successful catteries

cats. X is not necessary 70 provide any
special house or buildings for them, as
they can easily be accommodated IN
the house OF cellar. Should one keep
large number Of them or have regu-
lar cattery however, it is absolutely
necessary that the cats have their own
special quarters.
A good cathouse can be built about
on the same plan and principle as that
of a henhouse. although in colder eli
mates they should be more substan-
tial. If SIX or a dozen cats are TO
be kept together, a house 45x20 feet
and seven feet high with slope of
one foot, with plenty of windows to
admit sunshine, will be very comfort
able and serviceable. It must be
waterproof and windproof and well
raised from the ground to keep 1t dry.

the mother and her kittens, and the
males and females should also be sepa-
