Gault, of Joncsville, Union county called in to see us Monday, and we enjoyed a very pleasant chat with this fine old gentleman. He talked very interestingly on farming, and wo learned from him th it his family had raised all the corn, wheat and meat for family consumption on their farms for the past twenty years, and last year was the first year in the twenty that they had bought a bushel of wheat; they only bought a few bushels then. They often have a great deal to sell, and have soveral hundred bushels to sell this year. They not only know how ttfurm and live at home, but thev know how to tako care of their lands. Some of the washed gully lands were filled up ten years ago, and as fine cotton was raised on it this year as anywhore in this section. Mr. Gault aays that their land is what would be canea poor land. nut they have given it piopor attention, and have been paid well paid for their trouble. We think one of the mietakes made by our farmers i9 gl/ing too little attention to their lands. We have always held that farmers could keep their corn crib, wheat bin and meat house supplied from their own farms, and that it was suicidal to buy these things year after year from the West. Mr. (fault's experionco is a glowing illustration of the truth of our olaim; if he can do it and has done it for twenty years on his poor land. What earthly excuse can our farmers, With rich and fertile lands, have for neglecting to raise those things absolutely necessary in the home? How litany of our farmers do this? 0 HOUSE AGAIN REPUBLICAN Leaders Claim a Hajority of 51 , Over All.

"Auti-imperialism, tho attempt to Btii np jealousy against Kugland,championship of tho Boers and the pandering to tho Fonians nil availed Bryan uoth;? i_r:^ ? * iiij. ma iioiuai is even more a aeieai for Orokor and Tammany, and that if its happiest feature. It really looks or though Americans are tired of the gang of corrupt Irish-Americans who have de graded American politics so long." Tlio Star says: "Had Bryan kept to the issues ot antiimperialism, nnti-trusts and social reforms no might conceiveably have won. Sound money proved his undoing. IIo has been 'crucilied on the cross of gold,' but it has been very much of a voluntary crucifixion. The most remarkable featuro is tho defeat ol Boss Croker." Tho Times in a special edition says "McKinloy's election is no ordinary party triumph. It is a victory lor common honesty, sound sense and sober, enlightened political judgment." Alter reference to Bryau's endeavor to make imperialism tho paramount issue, Tho Times says: "Free silver and its attendant heresies are the real matter upon which tho electors have given judgment."

MR. BRYAN WILL NOT TALK. lie Will, However, Make a Statement I.utcr. Lincoi.x, Neb., Nov. 7.?Mr. Bryan said this morning that ho would not ruake any statement as to the result of tho election until later. Ho gave as his reason that ho hud received no new information today and said he desired to have as complete returns ns woro procurable before announcing any conclusions. He therefore declined to mako even a verbal statement for publication. He, however, has no doubt as to the reports of his defeat, and in privato conversation with friends admits that farther delay in the public announcement of his acceptance of the result is a mere matter of .form. Ho is not building any hopes upon the later returns and evidently in aii ways, except by word of month, concedes practically nil that tho Republicans claim. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were in a cheerful mood this morning. Referring to his plans for tho immediate future he expressed a determination to take a good rest. "I shall not even attempt to answer letters for the present," he said, "but will postpone the duty for a few days. IuiM i?<\tw?lumr1pr&nty to"do for several months and will take it easy for a time."

The woman will dio. Bryan has lost the race for the presidency, but he still holds a very warm place in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of those for whose cause ho lias battled so nobly and well.
