A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY.

Yes. elegant Free Homesteads in
the banana district of Mexico, ad-
joining improved land, can still be
had. Hundreds of acres are in pro-
duction in this district. From 10 to
25 per cent. being received from the
first years production. The market
for bananas is unlimited. You are
required to have five acres of bananas
planted within five years. People liv-
ing in the United States and Canada,
can secure this land by addressing
The Jantha Plantation Co., Block
946, Pittsburgh, Pa. They will have
the bananas planted for you, and
cared for on shares, so you need not
go to Mexico at all. Bananas bear in
from IL to 16 months and should
yield a profit Of about 5000 per acre.
Producing banana orchards are worth
about one thousand dollars per acre.
The climate is delightful and health
conditions good. Tell your friends
about this chance, it is only duty to
help one another. -

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
The Presidential Campaign.

In less than seven months from
now the two great political parties
will have selected their respective
standard bearers. An exciting pres
idential acmpaign is promised, and
as the time approaches there is nat
ural insistence on the part of bust
ness men and other thoughtful cit
liens, without regard to party, that
the platforms, both Republican and
Democratic. be free from vagaries
and radical tendencies.
The only Democrat who has oc-
cupied the White House since the
war was strong exponent of jeff
ersonian principles. And tariff
or-revenue-only' and sound money
were issues which he kept well to
the front. Mr.. Cleveland was
conservative man, and, after having
served as President from March,
1885, to March 1889, he ran again
in 1892 and swept the country. The
Democrats have since tried radical
issues, but have failed to win a sing
lie presidential election since Cleve-
lands last term. The party is more
solidly united now than a t any
time since 1892.
There has been a great deal of
progressive democracy talk during
the past IL months. but sO-called
progressivism has no appeal for
democrats who still believe in rep
resentative government. With a
sane platform including a tariff-fOr-
revenue only plank, and with con-
sentative candidate, the Democratic
party should be able to redeem it.
self by winning a splendid victory
next fall. Oscar Underwood is the
ideal man to head the Democratic
ticket. The more the country sees
of him the stronger he becomes
Every public utterance he has made,
since accepting the position as lead
er in the House Of representatives,
has commended itself heartily to pa
triotic Americans. For several
years past he has been known
among his colleagues and those who
have seen him at close range as
statesman and as a close student OF
government. But now the whole
country recognizes in him a states
man of the very first rank-coura-
geous, level headed and safe. He is
the Democratic party's logical can
didate for the presidency.
The republican party, which has
usually been readily subject to dis
cipline. and has been proverbia1 for
following it's leader, is far from har-
monious now. 1t is somewhat in the
position that the Democratic party
was in under Mr.. Bryan's leadership
full of dissessions The Demo
Gratis have been greatly cheered over
the party harmony that Mr.. Under
wood brought about last summer
during the extra session of Cong
ress, and if the national convention
acts wisely the rank and file of the
democracy will go into the next
campaign with that enthusiasm
which is born of hope. Democrats,
old and young, are eager for the
contest, and all they ask is the
right sort of platform and the right
sort of man.-Birmingham (Ala.)

of having received this note from Mr..
Fielder, and Mr.. Evans advised me to
60 to meet him., I went to the hotel
that night, but do not recall whether
Mr.. Towill went with me. Towill and
I were staying at the Columbia hotel,
and he may or may not have gone
with me, but anyway we were togeth-
er at F'elder's room at the hotel, and
I am under the impression that we
went there together. Mr.. Evans either
went with us to Mr.. Felder's room or
We met him there, 7 do not now recall
which.
After talking awhile, Mr. Fielder
asked me if I expected to run again
for the board of control, and upon my
telling him no, be asked me who was
going to run and who WoAld be elect
ed, and if I could control the person
or persons who were elected ! told
him I didn't know who all were going
to run or who would be elected, but
mentioned the names of certain par
ties who were spoken of as probable
candidates. I told him that I was on
good terms with these parties, but
that I could not control any OF them
and did not desire to do so, nor would
7 attempt to do so. He said he had
plan which he wanted to discuss
with US, and while I can not recall
the details, it was about as follows,
to wit: He said that the State dispen-
sary was now buying about two mil
lion dollars worth of goods, and he
proposed that Evans, ToWill and l
should go in with him and form a
company, and we could sell the dis
pensary the biggest part of these
goods; that he, Fielder, controlled or
could control the output of several
large distilleries, and that by forming
this company and selling the dispen-
sary we could make a pile Of money
out of it. My recollection is, he said
that one Of these dist;lleries was in
Peoria, ILL.,, and. Peoria Was about the
centre of the whiskey- business. He
went on talking, and when he got
through T told him could not go in
any such scheme, and in a short time
We left the room: have not seen Mr..
Fielder since that time, or had any
talk with him, and heard nothing more
{ Of him until I saw by the newspapers
that he had been retained to assist the
attorney general in the dispensary
matters. ....
