There are many indications that the strenuos energy or me rresi dent is needed in Washington, While thev love to ridicule him, the Republicans are at heart very much afraid of Hon. lorn Jonnson. Secretary Hitchcock cannot un derstand why all this fuss is being made over the swindling of a few Indians. Hetty Green announced that she changes her residence frequently in order to avoid "cranks Is that an other name for landlords? George W. Beavers has been in dieted for nearly two montns has never been arrested. What influ ence is back of Beavers? A corner in lard promises tofol low the corner in cotton. This will afford Secretary Wilson an op portunity for another homily. It is nonsense to predict that Dick Croker will return to New York soon. What could Cro ker get under a Low administration? When Congrees meets and dis covers that Secretary Hitchcock has resumed the position of sole trustee for the Kiowa town-site funds there will be some lively sessions. Employes at the Government Printing Office regardthe demand that they take the oath of office as an evidence that they are about to be defeated in the Miller case. Senator Hanna is not the first poli tician for whose stomach Ohio Re publican politicians have proved too strong a diet. The doctors have ordered Mr. Hanna to keep quiet for several months. Secretary Shaw announces that he Is going to loan the banks $40, 000,000 this fall and take state, county and municipal bonds asse surity. The Secretary needs no Aldrich bill. He is a law unto him self. Evidences of the gigantic frauds being practiced on the Indians of the five civilized tribes continues to multiply. Meanwhile, Secretary Hitchock is concerning himself with who is responsible for the existence of the abuses. Many officials of the Department of Justice have been charged with betraying their trust and with con niving against the very people they are employed to protect, but the Attorney General is enjoying a long vacation and nothing is being done, The St. Louis Exposition officials have just arranged to import the largest gas engine in the world. It will be built in Belgium and will have 3,000 horse power. Too bad the exposition authorities could not have captured Senator Burton. It would have been so much cheaper- Senator Bacon, of Georgia, re cently had to stand on a station platform hungry while Booker Washington and several negro friends occupied the dining car. When asked later what he had for breakfast the Senator responed, "Bacon and red hot Bacon too." Stagnation has struck the Post office "investigation". Nearly two months have passed without any developments. One othcial has been suspended and has performed no work since the 25th of April and Rand, Payne's "confidential clerk has been absent since July 3rd, but both continue to draw their salaries. It is reported that the completion of the Brazilian coffee plantations, tnapthpr with exhaustion of the soil, is driving xne conec niuuaujf. out of Java. It is a well known ' factthat there is not a pound ot Java coffeo on the American mar ket and has not been for years. Armthpr instance of suicide by a nrivato in the German army be cause of the tyranny of a petty a petty officer riasjustcome xo ngm. The official report says, -ne com mitted suicide by the common de vice of exploding a blank cartridge in a rifle, the barrel 01 wmui was filled with water." With one or two more instances similar to that when Senator Bacon hari tn nn uithnnt his breakfast be- cause Booker Washington and other negroes were occuping the dining car, the railroads will find them selves confronted with Jim Crow dining dining car laws in the south ern states. Out of 1,000 cargoes of European food products shipped to this coun try and examined by the Depart menf ot Agriculture, no single in stance of adulteration has been dis covered, from which it is argued that the pure food laws enacted by the last Congress have proved su ficient to prevent Europeans from attempting to market aldulterated floods in this county. REPUBLICAN PARTY ON TRIAL. When Caleb Powers sought con tributions from postmasters through out the country he.delared that the Republican party in Kentucky was on trial, The evidence recently produced at the trial seems to bear out theassertion. Youtsey produces an agreement signed by Powers "waiving the truth or falsity" of an affidavit made by Youtsey for the assistance of Powers after both were con victed. In the agreement Powers promises not to make the affidavit public and return it within fifteen days. The affidavit was given at the instance of a federal official, whose name Youtsey gives a fed eral official, who was a son of a Re publican judge and who desired the affidavit to use with Republican members of the court of appeals to secure a new trial for Powers. Youtsey's testimony is strength ened by this paper and it will be difficult for anyone, after reading it, to deny that the killing of Goe bel was a political conspiracy formed among Republican officials and carried out with a shameless nessthat would disgrace an absolute monarchy. Will Durbin still refuse to give Taylor up? His rigid enforcement of the law against those who inter fete with the rights of the black man is all right, but this will not atone for his refusal to deliver up a prominent Republican who is in dicated for the assassination of a Democratic governor. It raises a new race question if a man must be black in order to re ceive consideration from a Republi can governor. NEBRASKA CONVENTION. I The Democratic state convention held at Columbus, Neb., August 25, was an enthusiastic gathering. The Kansas City platform was reaf firmed and state issues were metand dealt with in true democratic spirit. Judge John J. Sullivan, now chief justice of the Nebraska supreme court, was renominated. Judge Sullivan has made a good record and adhered to the rule which in his speech of acceptance be laid down for the guidance of all judges that the one thing above all others that should characterize the conduct of a judge is "independent absolute judicial independece." The nominees for regent of the state university, William O. Jones of Adam county and Dr. E. O. Weber of Saunders county, are good men. Professor Jones is well known as an educator, although he is not now actively engaged in educational work. He is a man of large experience and an energetic student. Dr, Weber is a young man who stands high among his neighbors; and should these gentle men be elected, it may be depend ed upon they will contribute materially tothe welfare oftNebras ka's university. Fusion between the two parties was accomplished without difficulty Indeed, the populist convention had nominated Judge Sullivan before the democratic convention at Columbia had reached that order in the proceedings, So far as the public welfare is con cerned, n comparison is to be made , between the ticket chosen atGrand : Island and at Columbus and the1 ticket chosen by the .republican party. Several weeks before the republican convention nominated Mr. Barnes, tor judge of the su-, preme court.it was generaliy under stood that Mr. Barnes was thejehoice of tne railroad lobby. Judge Sulli van did not ask, indeed, did not desire a renomination but he could not avoid the honor and it came to him because the democrats and populists of Nebraska' recognize that it is important to the people of this state that Judg Sullivan be re elected, He owes his renomination to the good record he has made during six years of faithful services on the supreme bench of the state, and if the people of Nebraska fail to indorse that record at the polls, the people will in the end be the losers. PLAYING FOR TRUST SUPPORT. Every Republican who imagines that Mr. Rooseveli is really de. termined to "shackle cunning as in the past we have shackled force," and that he is willing to stand for the people's interests against the schemes of the financiers and the trusts magnates should read the interesting dispatch printed in the Chicago Record-Herald of Monday August 24, from Walter Wellman, its Washington correspondent. Mr, Wellman says: 'i The" im portant point and the new point is that President Roosevelt is behind this currency reform scheme push ing as only he knows how to push. He organized and promoted the effort." And then Mr. Wellman asked. "Why is President Roose velt so much interested in currency reform." Mr. Wellman 's reply to his own question is so interesting that it deserves the widest possible publi cation. He says: "Mr. Roosevelt's masterly skill as a politician has been employed so successfully that no one suspects he is a politii lan the best test in the world. Having become the most popular man in the United States and having won the enthusi astic approval of the masses by his fight upon the trusts and the corpora tions, Mr. Roosevelt not long ago began to cast about for methods by which he might even up. He had the people with him, buUhe trusts, the corporations, the financial lead ers, the bankers were hostile. This hostility was centered in New York. It chanced that in New York and among these very people there was a general ahd earnest desire for a reformation of our currency system. The president has gone in for that reformation with his accustomed ardor and energy, and it will tiot be his fault if the financial people of New York do not soon look on him with more favor." It is generally understood that Mr. Wellman is nearerto the Roose velt administration than any other newspaper correspondent. Certain ly no correspondentis more friendly to that administration than is Mr. Wellman; and it is interesting to be told by this administration cor respondent that"feelingthathe has the trusts and the corporation's." Mr. Roosevelt proceeds to display his "masterly skill as a politician by seeking to win over to him the representatives of the trusts and the corporations, According to this administration correspondent, Mr. Roosevelt dis covered "that in New York and among these very people, the trusts and corporations, there was a gener al and earnest desire for a reforma tion of our currency system," and also that "the president has gone in for that reformation with his accustomed ardor and energy and it wjll not be his fault if the financial people of New York bo not soon look upon him with more favor " A very frank and candid confes sion, indeed, and perfectly in line with the idea which Democrats generally have entertained of Mr. Roosevelt's disposition to "shackle cunning as in the past we have shackled force."

DARROW, Prat Comtpondmt New. York Stntt Oninge PROFESSOR T. C. ATKESON. Mauler of the Went Virginia State Grange. Thomas Clark Atkeson, master of tin: West Virginia state grange, grow up tn the farm. His work for the grang? In that state has been most valuable, and he has been nonored with Severn! important offices In- his state grange. He was elected assistant steward of the state grange in 1882, secretary in 1883, lecturer In 1884, overseer In 1888, which office he held continuously until PBOFBSSOR T. 0. ATKESON. elected master of the state grange in January, 1897; re-elected in February, 1899, and January, 1901.

In June, 1896, lie was unani mously elected president of P.arbours ville college, which he resigned in June, 1897, to accept hi present position. Governor Atkinson appointed him a member of the board of regents of West Virginia university in May, 1897, for a term of six years, and In June fol lowing he was elected dean of the col lege and professor of agriculture, which position he now holds. A SUGGESTIVE PLAN. To Promote Interest In Grange Work and Increaae Membership. Sometimes it seems to be necessary to Introduce new methods for awak ening a flagging interest in grange at tendance and grange work. While con tests between members or committees may not always be commendable, yet so good an authority on grange work as Mrs. Sarah G. Balrd, master of Min nesota state grange, has recommend ed the following, which was tried with good results in a Minnesota grange: ' Two ladies chose sides as in a spell ing match. The contest lasted three months, with two meetings each month. The side beaten furnished a good supper. The secretary acted as umpire and remarked that care must be taken not to do anything which would cause the members to get too much credit or be offended. The sides alternated in furnishing a programme, each having a chance to score a maxi mum of 160 points at one meeting. In addition to this, the attendance of each persou at a meeting counted 10. The Bide which had the most at roll call got 80. The roll was called at 8:30 p. m. An application counted '00. An essay counted 25; a crop report by farmer counted 30. He could secure four men to speak on it with a credit of 5 points each. In a similar manner a lady could write an essay and se cure four ladies to discuss It Select reading counted 10, a recitation 15, a dialogue 20, a wedding 100. This con test brought sixty-five applications for membership. The plan can be varied to suit conditions. Grang-e Fire Insurance In Connecti cut. The last annual report of the Pa trons' Mutual Fire Insurance company of Connecticut shows a most gratifying condition of business, says Secretary Bacon in the New- England Home stead. Last year 128 new policies were written covering $257,000 Insurance. The premiums on these were $1,765. Expiring insurance renewed during the year amounted to $424,704, the premi ums upon which were $3,770. The to tal insurance written was $782,382, on which the premiums were $5,535. The total outstanding risks Dec. 31, 1902, were $2,014,410. the premiums on the ........ 1.. .'... ClOC'.r Tc.,,nn.,A In h!
