Oats.

Oats sown late in August o.

enough to afford good grazing il
six to seven weeks time, and
grazing may be continued thru.
out the winter when the land il
not too wet. Medium red clove,
also thrives throughout the over.
flowed district, and can be plant
ed in late September or early
October and will make good graz
ing and good early hay.
Most any farmer or planter
should be able to raise plenty Of
feed for his mules. horses, and
cattle that may have been saved
from the high water. by planting
q moderate amount of q few Of
these crops selected to suit his

The fell garden may be begun
almost as soon as the water re-
cedes, and by proper selection of

Crowd.
Baltimore, Nd, June 25.-
W. ]. Bryan tonight led tn
Democratic Convention into
declaration of progressivenes
unheard of in political history.
A resolution introduced by bin
which was passed by a two-thir'
majority, declared the convention
opposed to the nomination of an.
candidate for president under oh
legation to J. P. Morgan, Thomas
f. Ryan, August Belmont or an,
privilege seeking class"
The convention was thrown in
to . Juror by the proposition
which, as originally introduced
called for the withdrawal of Ry'
an Belmont, delegates from Vir.
ginia and New York respectively.
This part Of the resolution was
resented as.invading the rights
Of sovereign states. and when its
fuu import became known boos
and catcalls, jeers and Kisses
were mingled with hand clapping,
cheers and stamping of feet il
the galleries and on the floor.
Representative H. D. Flood, of
Virginia, dramatically character
ised the proposition as insolent,
and said it came from the only
man who desired to destroy the
Democratic Party"
Former Gov. McCorxie, of
West Virginia, called it foolish.
M. Bryan made the situation
even more dramatic by asking
Virginia and New York to re-
quest . modification of the reso-
tion, and when they scorned the
suggestion he took the course
himself.
At the conclusion Of the rnll]
oall On biz reeol,,''''-,
k.s-.. --4jn, Mr.. Bryan

gard thereto.
This vote eliminates all Of the
reactionaries, :and We can now
proceed to the election Of q pro-
gressive, put him on . progres.
sive platform and 80 out and win. |
There are some things which |
think it would be wise for the
candidate to do, but they need
not be announced until his nomi-
nation"
Ny. Bxyan's speech on his res
olution follows:
This is On extraordinary res
olutlon, extraordinary conditions
need extraordinary remedies.
We are now engaged in the con-
duct Of : convention that will
place before this country the
Democratic nominee. and l as.
sumo that every delegate in this

strau.. on "Par.ifaI" Monopoly.

Translated from Hamburg Newspaper.
For me there Is only one point of
direction in the 'Parsifar question, re-
spect for the will OF genius. Unhappily.
in the question of the protection of
'Parsifaf the decision does not lie with
the people who have at heart the in
crease and refinement of our culture. but
solely with jurists and politicians, whose
horizon does not eXter1 to an under
standing OF the unlignte rights of the
intellectual proprietor. I personally at
tended the eight days proceedings OF the
German Reichstag. where the representa-
tives OF the German people, with few ex-
ceptions, in enviable ignorance Of their
subject matter, debated on the author s
rights and the term Of protection.
myself heard how a Eugen Richter, with
shameless lies, trampled upon the rights
of 800 miserable German composers
Richard wagner's heirs included-in the
interests OF 10000 German publicans.
Nor will there be any change in this
respect SO long as idOtic universal suf-
fraEe exists, and so long as votes are
counted and not weighed; SO long, for
example, as the voice of a single Rich
ard Wagner does not mean 10000 and
those of, say, 1000 bootblacks but one
vote. Then. perhaps. ! should no longer
hear the phrases which are spoken now,
even IN the Goeths ooCletS' aOout INC
rights of the German nation, which is
supposed to be justified in plundering
thirty years after its death the genius
which in its life time was burned and
ridiculed, and in prostituting its work
on the smallest provincial stages.
I'VE few will protest in vain, and in
two years time the German Phillistine
will on Sunday afternoon, between his
midday meal and his evening glass OF
beer. be able to listen to 'Parsifal' for
50 pfennings instead OF always going
70 klnomategrsphs and the comic opera.
And yet we are surprised that French
men and Italians still regard us as bar
barians in all questions Of culture.

OLD LONDON ART SCHOOLS.
LeiEh's Academy, Where Thacke-

It has been my good fortune to attend
an art school immortaliZed by the pen of
Thackeray and another where Sargent
gave instructions to the students. The
former art school is said to be the old
est in London and boasts of long roll
call Of weIl-known men and women.
When Thackeray studied there it was
known as Leigh's Academy A descrip-

tradition among the students that Thack-

Dickens, showed his generosity of mind
by asking his successful rival, Buss, and
few other kindred spirits to an i'm
promptu meal Ito celebrate the momen-
tous occasion at the little inn around
the corner.
Fred Walker studied at Leigh's, tiny

he was twelve years old! Charles Keene.
