NO BACK DOWN Breach Between the Machine Republicans and Insurgents I# < * GETS WIDER THAN EVER IV ? I; TI?o Insurgents Are PHhuit, and It Is Bolioved That tlio First Con* test Will Goiiio With tho Soloc Won of Committee to I'robo llallingcr-IMnchot Embroglio. A Washington dispatch says tho already broad breach between the "organization" of the house of rep resontatives and the Republican insurgents was widened perceptibly Monday. Monday night there was every evidence that mutually hostile | acts of the past few days would continue with increasing bitterness. All day the insurgents caucussed in little groups of twos, threes and fours 011 the houso iioor, in the Cloak rooms and the members lobby, discussing the situation and debating the desirability of an early meeting to form a battle front to meet the onslaughts that are reported to be coming from the organization. Much secrecy was observed among them. No one would say I When a formal meeting will be held. It. became known Monday that the party caucus will be invoked against the insurgents, and on every occasion when there are difference? between the Republican members that insurgents will be made to fol low tne program or do lorceu oioside the pale of the party. The announcement did not dis concert the recalcitrant Representatives. They were freo in their expressed opinions that no compulsory measures would avail anything to the organization. If the test of regularity lies in following the "machine" as several denominated it, they said they preferred to be irregular. . The first battle will occur, it is believed, over the selection of the committee by the house to investigate the Rallinger-Pinchot oinbroglio, which is several days in the future. The house Republicans doubtless will hold a caucus to name a committee and map out a program, and here the insurgents, It is predicted, "fish or cut bait." A dozen Insurgents said privately that they would not attend any caucus where they knew there was a pre-arranged plan to discredit them. Representative Underwood, speaking for the Democrats of the house, said the minority would probably hold a caucus also 011 the RallingerPinchot inquisition. There is a prospect of a joint Democratic-Republican insurgent committee being named to oppose the committee being named to oppose the committee of the regular Republicans, which would bring a test battle 011 the floor. "We are like the outside nine.' said Mr. Underwood, "waiting tc jee which way the hall is going to he batted. We can't play until they bit something in our direction.' ' The letter issued by the Republican congressional committee, which had the effect of throwing a few bricks into the insurgent camp, came from the "literary bureav," maintained by that organization. It was stated that the congressional committee did not exist as a body at this time and therefore was not responsible. Representative McKinley, of Illinois, chairman of the committee, admitted there was virtually no committee in existance now, but he himself assumed responsibility for the letter. It was sent out, he said, under his guidance from the Republican headquarters in Washington, as part of the regular "weekly news letter." How to Attract the Buyer. An advertising expert tells this story: One Saturday aftersoon tw< bootblacks were trying to draw trade Their stands were similar in appear ance, the boys looked alike, and thoi locations were of equal value. On called out "shine, shine, get a shin here," briskly enough. The othe called out, "Get your Sunday shim get your Sunday shine." The so' ond boy did a rushing business, whil the first was idle. Quito a lesson tiioro for the ac vortiflor. The second boy won 01 l>ecauso l?e called the attention ( people to a need they had alread felt and recognized. He knew th: a lot of them would need a shir the next day, and he simply calh their attestlon to a want they lis already felt.

HAS BEEN WHIPPED OUT IHvi.sion iu IIIn l'arty'h Itankn uud the Ordeal to Which He is Daily Subjected Arc Alleged to lluvo t-aiiNcd Him to Prepare to Step Down and Out. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says it is reported that Speaker Cannon, no longer abie to stand the division in his own ranks, and the terrible ordeal that he is duily forced to meet, has resigned as speaker of th? national house of representatives, tint this he is denying to those who make inquiry. it would surprise no one were he to take such action at any moment. The situation in the house, and as a matter of fact, with Republicans throughout the entire country, is grave. They may be able to pull themselves together, and. do business, but they will have to do it i quickly. Every day of wrangling adds to their diillcultles, and to the hope of the Democrats. A family row, of the biggest dimensions, and < of all possible varioifs, is on among the Republicans in congress, both < house and senate. I The situation as it stands now in I the house is summed up by a Wash- < ington paper as follows: "As mat i ter stands today, can it he said that I the Republicans are in control of I the house? It is not within the ] power of tho Insurgents to defeat the majority of their party at will ,pro- I viding only there is capital in their i particular attitude for tho Dome- i crat.

Tho in surgents are so many mill hoys delivering grist to the firm of ClarK & Co. They aro the later 'Mill Hoys of tho Slashes," slashing their party at every turn." If Mr. Cannon has not, in reality, already placed his resignation In the hands of tho proper parties to P? accepted unless conditions materially change at once for the better, It is almost certain, according to what is being said in Washington, that such action will he taken before the present dissension on the Repub'lcan side of the house and in tho senate has gone much further. The end of Cannonism appears to bo in sight, unless tho Republicans get together. MOUNTA*mT %,ov ON VILLAGE. Terror Exists Among Uesiuents of Swiss Hamlet. The Volrons Mountain, 4,875 foet high, in tho Savoy Alps, situated near tho Lake of Geneva, is threatening the village of Machilly with destruction.

ONE GREAT NEED Makes Strong Plea for the Establishment Over the States of | SCHOOLS FOR FARMERS Dr. Kuapp, of tlio United States Department of Agriculture, Point.s Out tlio Great Value to the Whole Couiitry by tho K.stablisbment of Such Institutions. In an address at Greenville on Wednesday Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of tho department of agriculture made a strong plea for the establishment of farm-training schools to supplement the Stato agricultural colleges. Tho resultant benefit to the community and tho country at largo would be immense, Dr. Knapp pointed out, because of tho Increased production of food supplies and the bettor condition of those who produced tho nation's food. "At the last census," said Dr. Knapp, "there were 2,000,000 rent ed farms and 10,.">00,000 laborers on all the farms of the United States What per cent of the rented farms were well farmed and what per cent af the 10,.r>00,000 farmers wero really good farmers? Possibly 1 per cent and 5 per emit wore fairly good; ?4 per cent get from one-half to one-fourth of what they should obtain from the soil. This loss* must not bo regarded as ndividual; It is a loss to the State, to tho community. What does this Stato pro poso to do about it? Tho speaker declared the masses must bo divided into two classes ? those who could afford to attend s school of some kind and those who could not leave homo to obtain an education and who, therefore, must get their education In or near their homes. For such as were ahlo to devoto some time to study, Dr. Knapp advocated their attendance on a farm training school, such as he outlin ed. "The farm training school must be both effective and 'economical,' he said. "The training must tit men to do the work on the farm necessary for them to do and, inasmuch as their funds aro limited, it must be economical, and even if their funds wero not limited the farmer must learn economy." Such a school, in Dr. Knapp's opin ion, should bo equipped with simple apparauts; it should make a feature of manual labor and it should strive to teach by practical methods rather than through the agency of books. "Now, after some of these funda mental things are acquired," continued Dr. Knapp, "which of course must bo acquired along with the other studies, what actual knowledge must bo obtained? And among the actual knowledge that ho needs to acquire for the farm?and I am now discussing the man who proposes to live on the farm?are the following: "How to malte a crop successfully, which will include the preparation of seed bed, the seed and cultivation; how to do his work the most economically?which would include the kind of teams, the feeding of teams, the uso of the best farm tools, etc.; tho feeding of animals and the value of the meadow and tho pasture; the use of green crops and the economic ration." Tho improvement of tho farm would follow immediately on tho adoption of modern methods and the application of the above knowledge to its administration, said Dr. Knapp. He d col on t-r* rl nlun Umt J.? . n.nw, unit iiiu impruvu ments on farms at the present time were nearly all of a temporary nature and, therefore, costly In the , long run. "The cost of repairs too great," he said, "and the life of the improvement Is too short." Dr. Knapp concluded his address with a glowing tribute to the farmer's wife, lie dwelt upon her prac 1 tlcabllity and her love for her home, I Taking one such woman, whosf name he did not mention, he said: I "Sho believed in housekeeping a< I a fine art and an art worthy of an] I woman. Such a woman is a treasure I in any housohold and worthy of al I honor by the best man that eve lived." 1 Dr. Knapp is delivering a serie 1 of these addresses under the auspice I of the Southern railway. 1 A largo crowd of farmers from th Piedmont section of South Carolin heard Dr. Knapp. Tho demonstri tlon agents of the State also held mooting j ltig Oottou Fire.
