BYNCRoOJS INTO OHIO. INVASION OF HIANNA'S COUNTRY. Extracts from His Speeches on Im perialismi, Trusts and the Gold standard. Mr. Wm. J. Bryan spent the most of last week in Kentucky, where he made telling speeches in behalf of the Demo cracy, and then he crossed the river for a three day's tour in Ohio. The first place at which he spoke was Greenville, in Darke county, and an immense crowd was present. Mr. John R. McLean, the Democratic can didate for Governor, introduced Mr. Bryan as the unchallenged leader of the Democratic masses. Mr. Bryan to avoid the crisp morning air, put on a skull cap, which provoked good natured laughter, in response to which he said: " My hair is not as much pro tection as it used to be, and you ought not to complain if I am getting a little bald. In 1896 they said I was too young to be President. Then I had to depend upon the constitution to protect me. Now I can depend upon my bald ness. " The Chicago platform to which you gave such loyal support in 1896 is still the platform of the Democratic party and the platform of the Ohio Democrac3 again endorses that plat form. I believe the planks of that platform are stronger today than when they were written.' Mr. Bryan then entered into an elaborate defense of the income tax and predicted a popular endorsement of the proposition. He cited the efforts of the government to raise a re venue to conduct the Spanish war be cause of the decision of the supreme court against the income tax. He said the money question was still un settled and the fight would be con tinued. He treated the matter of trusts in practically the same manner as char acterized his Kentucky utterances. He claimed the Republican party said some trusts were bad and others good. " Trusts are actually so bad," said the speaker, " that a Republican con vention in this State, a convention run by Mark Hanna, denounced them. "Do you know the difference be tween a good trust and a bAd trust? A good trust gives liberally to a Re publican campaign and a bad one does not. The Republican party cannon destroy the trusts. When the attor ney general of the United States is asked to intervene there comes the Biblical injunction, 'Remember thy Creator.' The Republican party was the creator of the trusts." Mr. Bryan denounced the increase of the regular army as being called for by the President two months be fore there was any war or act of hos tility, which he construed as the basis of a republic to that of imperialism. "I dare the Republicans to defend the title by purchase of 10,000,000 men," continued Mr. Bryan. " They assert the right to be in the -Philippines by purchase and that, too, after having paid a less price for hu man beings than we pay for hogs. " Let God choose between this de finition of the declaration of indepen dence and that which says all govern ments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." 'Mr. Bryan said that when he first went to Cincinnati, in. March, 1895, to advocate the cause of free silver the first and foramost man to lend him as sistance and sympathy was John B. McLean. " Under his guidance," continued Mr. Bryan, "our party in this State polled more votes prior to 1890 than we would have done otherwise and the only reason we did not carry the State in 1896 was-that there ii ere more votes counted than we or the law machinery supposed to exist in the State." At Celina the reception was ex tremely cordial. Mr. Bryan said in part: " This is one of the States in which an important campaign is being car ried on this fall, and this election is not only 4important because you choose your State offieers this year, but be cause the verdict at the polls will be accepted as your opinion upon the is sues which are now b~efore the people. Some one has likened government to a corporation in which every citizen is a stockholder, which from time to time t-- eectsits diraet'orE.' ajgg that idea of government the stockhiders can select a ndw board of directoi's%1rn they choose, and the directors ught to protect the interests of the stock holders. " The, voter has a right to expect the officer to observe the conditions and promises of the platform. The farmer 'is careful in the selection of the hired man and ought to be in the selection of the public officers, but it is said he allows himself to go to sleep and never awakens until the affairs of the nation have run up against a stone wall. I think the time has come when no farmer can afford to be a Republi can. The farmer who supports that p arty stands in his own light, and is doing himself an injustice. I believe the members of the Republican party of an earlier date had a great re verence for Abrabam Lincoln. Great changes within the p arty have taken p lace since then. Abraham Lincoln fni 1869 wrote a letter in which he de monstrated that he believed in the man first and the dollar afterward. Since those days the party has placed the dollar first and the man afterward, and-if you Republicans who reverence the-name of Lincoln want to change conditions, bring the party back to Lincoln's standard, you must employ an artist -to draw the difference be tween Mark Hanna and Abraham Lin coln, employing the toboggan slide as a background. (Applause.) " With Abraham Lincoln the man came first, with Mark Hanna nothing is genuine unless the dollar mark Is blown. in the bottle. When the Re publicsn p arty #'as organized it was with the idea that political cohvictions were stronger than party lines. The vicious dollar .mark was not a conside ration then." Mr. Bryan then discussed the In om4 tax and. the greenbacks with the accompanying right to issue money. claiming the Republican party planned to retire the greenbacks in favor of the national banks, who .had more in Iluence than the common people, re calling the factrs- 'ad vid ence of in consistency, that eth's ~?ublican.,-na tional conventia of~ *' 8 denounced Cleveland for 'ddmonetiging ditv4r. Regarding the trusts hr. BryAe fol .lowed his previous line of argument, saying that " when th~e Republicans tell you some of the trusts are bad and some good, tell them all look alike to you until the Lord sends angels to take q~ro of them, and he has not sent them'yet,~" (Laughter.) He made a passing reference to Gov. lapsevelt'u appearance in this State in su ort of a larger standing army, askecti it was for -the purpose of so olarin the blessings of assimilation, and liee4doul ilippine polioy to India, suggpsting that the President of the United State. have the title of "President of the United States and Emperor of the Philippines," Queen Victoria being recognized as the " queen of England and the empress of India." The increased empire and increased army and increased taxation is to sup- 1 port the theory of imperialism. He challenged the Republicans to defend I the policy of measuring human life by the value of acquired territory. He did not believe the American people would be willing that one human being should be sent to death in this way, and he did not believe, if every Fill pino were killed tomorrow, that you could get Americans to go there and attempt to exist under a tropical sun. He denounced the preaching that God had been the instrumentality of I our presence in the Philippines, and asked, "When God gets ready to speak to the American pee le he will find i somebody else than ac Hanna as a i mouthpiece." Mr. Bryan did not be- i lieve we could shoot or dynamite our i civilization into the Filipinos nor did he believe that in the matter of ter ritorial acquisition we should sink to the low level of European nations, affirming that we should not trade the glory of a hundred years as a republic for the doubtful glory of an empire. " I am more interested in the prin ciples for which I stand than any mere compliment you can pay me," said Mr. Bryan in conclusion. "I would rather have a big majorit for the candidatts this fall, because I want these candi dates to win, and I shall be happy if you telegraph me that McLean has a larger vote than I received in 18906." (Applause.) Mr. Bryan in his address at Van West, 0., said: "I do not feel discouraged by the defeat of 1896, for I felt when the Rq publicans went into power responsibil ity went with them. I felt, if we wer~e wrong in our position in 1896, we de served to be defeated and if we were right our position would be vindicated by experience. I believe the last three years have vindicated the position ta ken in 189G." (Applause.) " We then said the gold standard was bad and the Republicans made the special declaration that the goldI standard was ri ht, that it was the standard of civilization, and yet the first thing a Republican Presidont did was to send a commission to Europe to get rid of the gold standard. " Six months after election the Re publicans could find nothing to justify the gold standard. They rejoiced at the discovery of gold in the Klondike and why ? Because it meant more money and better times, just as we told you in 1896 and as McKinley knew In 1893. If gold from the Klondike would give us more money and better times why not open our own mints ? The experiences of the past three years on the money question puts the Republican party in the attitude of the fellow traveling In the mountains who often met himself coming back." Mr. Bryan concluded his address by denouncing trusts and the President's Philippine policy. At Defiance, 0., Mr. Bryan was in trodpced as the next President, wlih: reference to which he said : " I only have one ambition, shared by every citizen, and that is to leave this governmeot to my children better than I found it. I want you to believe me when I tell you that if the viIctory won by the Republicans in '90 inures to the good of the people, I shall re jice with every Republican. I ex pect to be here for many years. I say this for the benefit of those Republi cans who heap criticism upon me." Mr. Bryan then dIscussed silver. " The have been burying this ques tion for years," he declared, " and they are burying it again, but I don't think they 'oury it well. And why ? Because no tomb is strong enough to hold a righteous cause. (Applause.) They would rather bury the question than discuss it. I know these Repub licans. I know how careful they are of public money. I know when they ap proprIate $100000 to defray the ex penses of the monetary confe-ence in Europe to get rid of the gold stan dard, it must be a bad thing." BII, ARP ON THES MZThORS. GIN. He Has a Letter from Arkansas Describing a Phbenomena Out Thoro Last Month-Meteors Never Hurt1 Anybody. A friend living in Arkansas writes me about the recent fall of a meteor near his home, and he compliments me by asking some questions that I cannot answer. The origin of meteors and their flight and fall Is yet the un solved problem of the ages. He says that on the 26th of last month, at 8 o'clock in the morning, when there was a clear sky and not at cloud to be seen, -there was a rum bling sound of thunder so weird and un- fI natural that it was alarming. It waso like the rolling of heavy trucks over3 an uneven platform, only immensely I louder. It was heard in all the naigh boring towns, and they all telegraphed I each other to know if a mill had not blown up or a magazine explded. 0 Suddenly there was an explosion in the air and a dark cloud formed and I meteoric fragments fell at different places in this vicinity. A small piece Il that weighed one and a half pounds I fell in a fed near by and was brought I to town while it was yet hot. It was powder-blackened on the outside, butC inside was a grayish color, and Its I particles shone lIke gold dust. Under u the microscope they resembled quick- t silver. y It was a full minute from the begin- ' nin gof the rumbling thunder till the n explosion came, and the course of the a sound was from east to west. The .V event was so unexpected and so like (1 the'my thology of Jupiter Tonens throw- t. ing a bamb from Mt. Olympus that the d white people were spell bound, and the A negrcoes declared it was a warning and h went to prayer. g Philosophers and astronomers have si been studying these phenomena for si 2,500 years, and have not yet agreed n: t oen a solution. The archives of the a linese empire record the fall of six- si teen great aerolites from 800 to 600 n' easbefore Ohrist. The Greeks and li Lmans record a number, and Aristotes nI and Diogenes commented.u pon them. i So did Livy, Plutarch and Pliny. They o0 bave been Been so large that the esti. h: masted wel ghtof the fragments after the explosion was 80 000 pounds, and dl the light was so brilliant as to pale w the sun by dyand obscure the moon a~ by nght. Thre is now In the Yale bi 3olge cabinet a fragmetn that weighs m 1 636 pounds. Tei came from near Jc d e 8.&river id rkansah .Mpof Is the westerj states have fu ieed la ipecimens fr the museums of collegs w md al of te aecomposedof0 th m iron-and include copper, tin, sulphur, 3arbon and other metals known to our )wn earth. Not a single new sub tance has ever been discovered, and ror this reason the theory obtained ahat they were thrown up from our volcanoes with such force as to wander for a time in the outer atmosphere of tho earth, and to revolve with the )arth. But this theory has long since been abandoned, for they seem to have n orbit of their own from west to ast. Then came a theory that they 3ame from the moon, and were of voi 3ano origin, and were thrown out with muoh terrific force as to got beyond the moon's influence and within that of our 3arth, But this was discredited be 3ause these fragments have been fall. lig, no doubt, for thousinds of years )n the land and on the sea, and on all 3ountries, and would have by this time materially diminished the size and weight of the moon. La Place and Eumboldt favored this moon theory for i time. But our modern astronomers suoh as Professors Arago and Almsted and Bowditch declare that metoore %re simply clouds or motion of meteoric planets that have a motion and orbit Af theih own, and that orbit sometimes 3omes within range of the earth's and produces a commotion-a disturbance that causes the fall of som 3 of their 3wn nebulae. Some of the children got too far away from their mother, i reckon. Sometimes meteors are simply lumi nous and have no body to explode or strike the earth. These have periodic vibrations of thirty- four years. They come in showers as #hick as snow flakes, and fall as gently to within a few feet of the earth and are extin. guished. They fell in 1799-1833 and 1867, and each ;fall was on the 13th o1 November. But there have been minor disp ays at irregular intervals generally about the 10th of August. ] am old enough to remember well the " falling of the stars" in 1833. Mj father held me in his arms as he stood in the portico, for I was scared. Our old negro, aunt Minty, was prayiug and shouting so it scared all of us children. George .Lester lived on the opposite side of the street, andi his mother held him in her arms. Some times in these later days I would gel with my old-time friends, Dr. Jim Alexander or his brother Tom, 01 George Adair, and we could boast o: the wonderful era in which we had lived, and the advent of steamboats and railroads and cotton gins, and sewing machines, and telegraphs, anc we never neglected to say, "and we saw the stars fall in 1833." Dewey nevei saw a night like that-but I reckor the Spaniards at Manila thought they did on the 1st of May. But this is enough about the meteors At least, it is about all that I know Joe Mulhattan, or Munchausen, made up a big fake a few years ago while I was in Texas and telegraphed the (all of a meteor near Brownwood that was as big as a meeting house and had buried itself thirty feet in the earth. I was at Brownwood a few days after and the postmaster was as mad as & hornet with Joe, for telegrams canre to him from all over the United States and England wanting to know about i1 and wanting to buy it at any cost. Joe had to leave thore and hide out for e month or two. The postmaster an owered a few and then swore off. There is one good thing about meteors, They never hurt anybody. The booke say it is remarkable and perhaps pro vidential thai in all the earth there is no record of one having fallen on any body or destroyed a habitation. Ter restial lightning gets us sometimes, but celestial fires are not dangerous. And now the next inquiry is from a young farmer who wants to know If It is good farming to follow grain with grain. He does not say what kind of grain, but I will tell him that fifteen years ago The Courier-Journal of Ken tucky, offered a prize of $1,000 for the best essay on practical agriculture. Over 200 were contributed and the essay that got the prize detailed the writer's planA of farming In Kentucky. It was brief, very brief. He laid off his corn rows seven feet apart, drilled his corn eighteen Inches apart, culti vated the ground thoroughly and har rowed it ; sowed wheat early and har rowed it in. When the corn was ready to gather he drove the wagon in svery sixth row and loaded from three rows each side. After the corn was ill gathered he went over the corn snicks crosswa.Ys 'with a~ heavy-r~ilor aud rolled it all down flat cui the wheat. The stocks and the blades movered it like a blanket. When the lirst good snow fell he sowed clover on ~he snow. When it raIned or thawed ~he clover seed fell into the ground and took root, and so he had corn and wheat and clover following In rotation md made a fine crop of each. But in this region our farmers have earned the value of peas as a fertilizer mnd stock food, and the harvest of bay his year will no doubt double all pre rious records. One of my friends has small farm near town and last year iarvested a fair crop of wheat from a wenty-acre field. After the wheat vas off he sowed ten acres of the tround in cow peas. Last fall he sowed t all down in wheat and this spring ou could tell just where the line of teas came to. There was no difference n the quality of the land. It was all evel and all alike and yet he harvest d this year ten bushels per acre on ne-half and eighteen on the other. ow, what caused this great dif Bronco? It was the shade of the pea 'ines, the shade that produces nitro ~en, and nitrogen is the best of all 'hant food. The denser the shade the tore nitrogen goes down Into the soil. L. canebrake, a briar patch, a clover overing, an old house in a field-re nove it and plant the ground that was nder it and see how luxuriant vegeta ion grows. Plant a grape vine near our house and the roots will all run nder the house to feed-to feed on itrogen. My wife has a wisteria vine t the end of theoveranda, and in three ears' time its roots had traveled un erneath the floor and sent up sprouts wonty feet away, and for a time we Id not know where they came from. Sgood farmer will shade everything e can. He will cover the thin and aided spots in his field with wheat ~raw. There is no virtue In wheat raw, but it makes shade, and that akes nitrogen. There is no virtue in stone or in rocks, but they make iade, and notice how plants will grow tar to rocks or a rock wall, My lon g bmented friend, Dr. Berckman, told t that " rooks were God's bleasing to me land," and he purchased ten acres very stony land for his vineyard and Is flower garden. It rejoices me to seen how our mid to Georgia farmers are looming up on heat culture. Forty bushels to the ire. Ten years ago it would have ion declared impossible. This re inds me of my old English neighbor, ihn Allan, who asserted that his them' warnever content in old Heng nd with less than sixty bqelof beat to the acre, and somneti~I~~ ade seventy. "BSow wheat in dud id ren in mortar," was his moto Good old John Allan. I shot his cow in my cornfield, for It was her third i offense, and the old man was grieved. * He never got mad, but only aid : " I I know me coow worried ye, but-but major, I wouldent have shot 7our coow. I love you too well for that.' I How true it is that "kind words take away wrath." BILL ARP. ,r- r- 4wm SEED CORN SELECTION.-Many farmers owning both bottom and upland cornfields make the mistake of using the same seed on both kinds of soils. Corn which is adapted to the soil and moisture conditions of the valleys will not do so well on the upland as will some variety that has, by several years of cultivatioti and selection, become adapted to the conditions there. It is for the same reason that the large Color ado potatoes that have been grown for years under irrigation will do so poorly when used for seed in Kansas without the accustomed supply (if water. It is generally the case on the farm that the corn from all the* fields, both upland and bottom, is cribbed together. When the time for selection comes the largest ears are picked out irrespective of the kind of soil that grew them. As the bottom land produces the large ears it is more than likely that the bulk of the seed will be from the lower and moister portions of the farm. This is the proper seed for the - lowland, but it is not so well adapted to the dryer and poorer upland as is seed that has been raised there. It is advisable to select the seed either before or at husking time, when not only the quality of the ground but the character of the individual stalk and ear can be taken into consideration. As has beein suggested belore, a small box attached to the side of the wagon bed into which the desirable ears can be thrown is the most practical device that can be recommended. By a little judicious selection for a series of years a strain can be established on the up land portion of any farn' which will be well adapted to that or any other soils similar to location and composition. An eight inch ear from the upland will or dinarily prove better for planting on the upland than a twelve-inch ear from a draw in (he lower portions of the farm. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOu? Nearly every one you know or meet has some eccentricity you could point out, no doubt. They entertain certain views or have a peculiar way of doing things that the generality of mankind think nonsensical, and perhaps absurd. We often think of the remark of the old Quaker to his wife who said to her: "Everybody is a little queer, Mary, but thee and me, and sometimes I think thee a little queer also."' We See a great many people who are con sidered queer because they get into some sort of a groove in farming and nothing can induce them to try to pull out and adopt up-to-date methods. In passing around throuph the country we still see an occasional farmer who wastes his time Lryiug to save fodder by topping his corn, or in cultivating a crop still thinks it absolutely necessary that the bar plow should first be used, throwing the dirt away from the corn, and afterward cultivating up to it. Not a few do their planting and seeding "in the moon," and no amount of ar gument would ever convince them that good crops could be grown if started when the "Rafgn" wasn't right. One of your neighbors doesn't get along as well as he ought because he works without any sort ot plan or system. Another fails for the reason that he is always behind with his wvork. While others spend too much time at cross road sto:'es or dabble in politics in which there is no pay. If all the fel lows round about you have their short comings, have you ever stopped to consider that you too may be a "littte queer ?" It's a good thing to kniow just where our weak places are and then use some effort to strengthen them as we go along.-Farmners' Guide. BRMlONE CUREs DIPHIThIERIA. -- A few years ago, when diptheria was raging in England, a gentlemian accom panied the celebrated Doctor Field on his rounds to witness the so-called "wonderful cures," which he perform ed, while the patients of others were dropping on all sides. All he took with him was powder of sulphur and a quill, and with these ho cured every case without exception-that is, he p~ut a teaspoonfull into a wine-glass of water, and stirred it with his finger instead of a spoon, as sulphut does not readily amalgamate with water, and on the sulphur becoming well mixed he gave it as a gargle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger, as brim stone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the gargle, and, in extreme cases, in which he had been called jnst in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gaIgling, he blew the sul phur through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk to al low it, then the gargling. Ho never lost a patient from diphtheria. Or if the patient .cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it on a shovel and sprinkle a spoonful or two of the brimstone at a time upon it, let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over it, and the fun gus will die.--Londlon LanceC. SWEET WATERMELQN .IcCLE. Take off the green rind and cut off the pink portion from the inside of a water melon. Weigh, and to each seven pounds allow four pounds of sngar, a pint of vinegar, two teaspoonfuls of allspice, the same o.f cinnamon, half the quantity of cloves, half a teaspo'onful of ground mace an d a teaspoonful of ginger. Mix all the spices together; separate them into four parts, and tie each part in a piece of cheesecloth. Put the watermelon over the fire in cold water, bring to a boiling point and cook until it is transparent. Drain it. rut the sugar and vinegar with all the spices in a porceltin-lined kettle. When boil. Ing add the watermelon, a little at a time; cook until it is dark-not more than five or ten minutes; then put awayj in a stone jar. .Next morning drain offd all the juice, heat to a boiling point and pour it over the watermolarn rind. Do this for nine consecutive mornings, the 1 last morning heating the watermelon I rind again in the juice and boiling the de down until it will just cover the i rifHd..am' rom Joal. -There is a lemon grove of 1,000 ores in San Diego County, California, nd it is said to be the argest in the rorld.
