FROM OTHER PENS
PRINCIPLES OF POLITICS.

1t would be very interesting IL Mr..
Bryan, who is now INDUCING in much
oratory, and referring always to prin-
ciples, would be specific and state what
those principles are; not in generalized
terms such as liberty, equality, the
popular will, etc., for there can be no
disagreement here. These points raise
no controversy. Nor should Mr.. Bryan
mix up his PRINCIPLES with his policies.
He should state the first clean and
clear. It would be in the direction of
political education. il, he would do so.
1t would be very Instructive to know
what are his principles apart from his
methods.
The expression of political creed in
technical phrase is what is wanted. and
we had hoped that Mr.. Bryan would
He understands it, and really there Is
no good reason why the information
should be withheld. 1t is nothing that
one should be ashamed of. There are
two sides to this question. We prefer
the Republican side because it offers
wider scope to the national aspiration.
Maybe 1t doesn't. There is the prob
lem involved in Democratic principle,
which Mr.. Bryan should definitely
state.-Ohio State Journal.
THE BOSS AS "a RESULT"
Mr.. Heney. of California, who has
been studying practical politics very
thoroughly in connection with the GRIM
inal laws, says: THE political boss is
an effect and not cause" The COM
munities that are afflicted by him will
do we'll to treat him as "a result" and
give some attention to the causes that
produce him.
No military tyrant, civil dictator or
political boss can enforce obedience to
himself. He is only one man and if all
the Russians would agree to disobey the
czar, and his subordinates the Russian
autocracy would fan to pieces. Napo-
leon Bonaparte was the result of the
Willingness of men to do what he told
them to. Boss Tweed and more recent
bosses in New York and in other cities
are the product of the docility of the
people, who vote as they are told to by
the bosses.
Boss government in our cities, against
which the people, have had to protect
themselves in some measure of consti-
tutional limitations on the amount of
municipal debt, would go to pieces like
a house of cards if the voters would re-
fuse to elect to municipal offices the
tools of the bosses. the men the bosses
have picked out to give them contracts
and vote appropriations to them and
order boulevards and other alleged i'm

In Behalf of the Cat

Probably no domestic animal is the
object Of such studious neglect as the
cat. Because she is indepndent, self
supporting, and undemonstrative, she
almost invariably takes back seat for
the dog, because of the latter's maudlin
Identification Of himself with his mas
ter.
We do not wish to underestimate the
fine qualities of affection, courage, and
sagacity which are the dogs, but neith-
er do we like to see the widespread
lack of appreciation for the cats many
admirable traits. Patience, endurance,
good judgment, self-control, self-reli-
ance, high spirits, and industry-many
or all of these are possessed by the av-
erage cat.
Under favorable conditions she will
also develop a strength of affection not
devoid of demonstration that is equal
to the dogs.
The most esthetic souls of all times
have cherished the cat. Boudelaire,
Won Scheffel, Poe. De Musset, Henry
Irving. and a host of other lovers of
the beautiful come to mind in this con-
nection. The silky feline, of padded

MANAGEMENT of DUCKS,

"Any calculation as to the return
to be expected by those who keep
ducks" says an experienced breeder,
depends entirely upon the possession
of a suitable locality. They are most
likely to be kept with profit when
access is allowed them to an adjoin-
ing marsh. where they are able in a
great measure to provide for tenn
selves; for il wholly dependent upon
the breeder for their living, they have
such ravenous appetites that they

Feed For Poultry.

We are inclined to place corn at

feed all corn, unless the flock has I'M

grain of any kind. would cause egg
production to cease If a short time.
Corn and plenty of green feed and a
range rich in insects, makeia first
class egg food. but where the hens
are shut up. corn should not make
more than one-third the grain feed.
The remainder should be made up of
wheat. oats and bran in about equal
proportions. and most Of the rorn
that is fed during the year should be
given during the six cold months.

the talk about overlooking hens. one
fact has beel impressed upon us, 1t
Is almost impossible to get a hen fat
while she is laying regularly. This
applies to all the non-sitting breeds
and to the American class. 1t would
probably apply TO the L%angshans also.

of non-production of eggs in any

Modern Farm Methods
AS Applied in the South.
Notes of Interest TO Planter.
Frrit Grower and Stockrnan

A capon will take new ones at any
time after being started, and all that
is necessary is to go to his coop at
night and slip the little ones under
him along with the bigger ones. A
trial of the capon is all that is nee
essary to convince.
1t is not to. be inferred from the
above that the capon is useful in
rearing chicks Matched only from an
incubator. He is especially useful
where a man has no incubator and
keeps just a few hens. In an instance
of this kind the capon will take the
chicks Matched by three hens and the
hens will more than pay for the feed
for both the capon and the little
chicks during the two months before
weaving time.-Dr. John H. McBee,
Lexington, Miss, in Southern Poultry
Journal.
