Cold storage, properly employed, fur.
nishes a means of conservation and
the prevention of waste that should
inure to the general benefit. In prac-
tice 1t has been made to serve as q
means of maintaining higher prices in
the season of plenty and OF intolerable
prices in the season of lesser supply.
When prices are naturally declining
they are checked, to be afterwards
punished to unnatural limits as oppor.
tunity is created by squeezing the mar
ket through a combination of cold-stor-
age Spectators.
This is perhaps the most flaglant
occasion of the instrusion of the mid.
dleman between producer and consum.
er with the object Of despoiling both.
The worst part of the matter grows
out of the difficulty encountered in de
vising any scheme Of remedy which
shall preserve the benefit of cold stor-
age while defeating It's evil workings.
The most feasible suggestion is to
regulate the time Of storage SO as to
prevent deterioration, and to enforce
due publicity in order that the pur.
chaser may know what he is getting

many different substances, and when

but the ordinary farmer can not af-

abundance Of nitrogen and add materi-

some one of the leguminous plants and
occasionally blowing under a crop.
Perhaps cowpeas are the best for this

Ducks.

Ducks are profitable as layers for
three years. and the brakes are fit to
use as breeders for eight. They fatten
readily and bring good prices. Their
feathers are quite valuable and net a
substantial revenue.
Is Yards 24x100 feet will accommodate
a pen of thirty layers, thus minimizing
space. The houses need not be costly
or especially built for warmth, but
should be dry. Eggs are usually fer
tile and can be Matched in incubators.
Being such wonderfully prolific and
persistent layers. you can contract
your output to hotels, cafes. etc, and
take advantage of the special prices
with the assurance of being able to
fill the demand and rake off some
splendid profits.

Lice and setting Hens.

When hens are set they should be
carefully busted with insect powder or
otherwise treated and placed on abso-
lutely vermin free nests, preferably in
some other house or in separate
room where other fowls cannot come
in contact with them. Placing tobacco
stems in the bottom of the nest or
with the nesting materials will help
to keep lice away. yet it is not an In
fallible remedy.
The setting hen may be busted at in
tervals through the incubation period,
yet she should never be creased or
treated with any liquid preparations
that will injure the eggs. Keeping a
box of dry dust or ashes, with which
is mixed a small proportion of pow.
dered sulphur. where the hens can
get at it daily. will very greatly aid
them in keeping clean.

A Theatrical Censor.
From the New York Sun.


An ordinance to appoint a board OF
censors to pass upon all theatrical pro-
auctions in this city does not seem ju-
dicious to persons familiar with pre-
vailing theatrical conditions. So far
as the new ordinance refers to the
cheap moving pictures, however. it's
effect may be beneficial. The evil in
fiuence Of these displays on the minds
of their youthful spectators cannot
we'll be exaggerated. Any improvement
in them by the same methods that pro-
duce the reform Of abuses in the play
houses is not expected. The scenes of
these expeditions are often small and
incOnspicuous spaces in tenement and
business buildings. Their patrona ge
comes mostly from the residents In the
immediate neighborhood, and their Of
ferings are never submitted to the
wider publicity that serves to keep the
theaters clean. They are, moreover, as
much overlooked by the eye of the po-
lice as by public regard, and the fierce
light that falls on all theaters and at
tracts prompt attention to their depar-
lures from a certain degree OF decOrum
exercises no salutary effect on these
holes which find license through their
obscurity for all kinds of demoralizing
exhibitions. The theaterS need no such
censorship The public has it's own way
Of censoring their productions. There
is not a theatrical manager who would
attempt now to bring forward at any
foremost New York theater play that
was frankly indecent.

Democrats and the Presidency.

|, If democratic success next month is as
general and pronounced as the leaders
or that party expect, at least five men
will figure prominently i'm presidential
speculation for the next eighteen months
John A. Dix, Woodrow Wilson, JudsOn
Harmon Thomas Marshall and William
j. Bryan. The east will present two, the
middle states two and the west one.
Mr.. Dix will need an Introduction to
the country at large, but that can be
managed. 1t will not be difficult to have
him invited here and there to meet the
people, or to have politicians from
distance visit Albany and meet him.
MIR. Wilson through his distinguished
work as an educator is better known. He
has visited all sections of the country,
though not on business connected with
politics. But since entering politics sew
eral weeks ago he has been "going some,"
and II he should prove as good a mixer
in the national field he is proving i'm
the local field his rivals will have to
take notice. In the south. where he was
born and reared, he should develop con-
siderable strength.
Gov. Harmon has been in politics for
fifteen years. introduced to the country
by Mr.. Cleveland, he got into his chiefs
snarl with Organism, and bolted the
ticket in 1896. Until quite recently this
was quoted against him whenever his
presidential aspirations were mentioned
But since Mr.. Bryan rejected the Dahl
man nomination and became a bolter i'm
small way himself, less has been heard
about the blot on the Harmon escutcheon
Mention of 1t may soon cease altogether.
Gov. Marshall is little known away from
home, but very favorably known at home.
good speaker, a courageous man, and
young, he should handle very well any
prestige that may come to him as the
result OF next months election in In
diana. He represents the best element
OF his party there, and should not find a
rival in Mr.. Kern.
As for Mr.. Bryan, while he is said to
have weakened himself In the west by his
fight against the saloon in politics,
he is undoubtedly still strong man in
those states where he early found, and
has since retained, many followers. What
he will do If faced with a democratic
landslide next month Is a problem He
has been educated on defeat; and it will
be new experience for him If the coun-
try rings with democratic shouts, and
they are interpreted to mean a turn of
the tide that will last some time. Will
he not feel a revival Of his longing for
the White House?

Mr.. Bryan's Popularity.

Politicians are not always accurate in
appraising public sentiment. For an in
stance. take the case of Mr.. Bryan and
Indiana
When the campaign opened it was sug-
gested that as Mr.. Kern was a candidate
for senator, Mr.. Bryan would be glad to
help, and should be invited
But at once the brewers and the dis
tillers objected. They feared that by his
temperance course MIR. Bryan would in
jure the democratic campaign. If he in
troduced the subject of temperance he
would offend the "wets,' while If he
ignored it the ''drys'' would accuse him
Of shuffling.
The democratic leaders were impressed,
and gave Mr.. Bryan the cold shoulder
In fact. it was announced that he would
not be invited, and that IL he came into
the state his tour would probably be a
frost Evidently at that time there was
no thought of giving hSn any sort of
committee recognition.
But the rank and file of the party over
ruled the brewers and the distillers, and
a tour for Mr.. Bryan was arranged. He
appeared In good form, and has proved
the star Of the democratic campaign. His
crowds have been the largest. The en-
thusiasm awakened by him has exceeded
that awakened by even Mr.. Kern himself
At every point the outpouring of the
people to see and hear him has been ex-
traordinary.
And the interest manifested has come
from the plain people. Ministers. and
mill hands. and all kinds OF wage-earn-
ers have made up the bulk of his audi
| ences. They have not been drummed up
by party managers working along the
| lines of campaign maneuvering
This does not mean, of course, that Mr.
| Bryan is sweeping the state into Mr..
Kern's basket. For fourteen years he
| has drawn such crowds, only to be disap-
| pointed in the result at the polls when he
| himself was candidate. Thousands who

rom the Boston Advertiser.

The law in the case, under section % Of
the census act, is sufficiently explicit to
warrant the expectation of active prose
cution and conviction in the cases OF
census fraud SO promptly and whole
somely pointed out by Director Durand.
This law in plain language prohibits false
statements. 1t appears proved that emu
merators made false statements. The ques-
ton Of motive will come out in the course
of the prosecution, which is inevitable.
Whether it was to increase boom pop
ulation or to increase individual enumera-
tors pay. the mischief is the same. Dis
covery of so much fraud casts suspicion
on every case of great increase in popu-
lation. The whole truth is demanded.
