On th trtfer band the Republicans are everywhere knapping and snarling at each other,. The old saying "Whom th god would destroy they first snake mad" Is peculiarly applicable to He publicans In the present exigency of their fate. PuSTed tip by success bought "with Mark Banna's boodta, tbaj bad bcom so arrogant tbat tbey conclad d tbat the long suffering American people would, bear all things, but the nayopaoncefote treaty, the Porto Ulcan tariff bill and the evident entente cor iiae existing between the admlnlstra tlon and Great Britain were the straws which broke the cameTa back. Xa-r3a aa4 tb The action of Hon. Webster Davis, who baa been touring South Africa and InresttgatUni for himself, la re signing the assistant secretaryship of latate to go to lecturing for the Boer cause wiU make Republicans have a creepy sensatioa in the region of the spinal marrow; tttr Davis is a Missouri orator of approved capacity. For more than three years last past be has been pat forward and boomed by the Repub lican press as the orator laureate of the adaninJstFattoa. That that same press will endeavor to belittie him now and discount his oratorical prowess I have no doubt, but they will learn to their sorrow that It is too late. With his emotional nature, and his tongue of fire I predict that Davis will set the country wild on the lecture platform on behalf of the Boers. Perhaps he may force the administration to show some sympathy for those brave and heroic people who against such fearful odds are fighting for their aliars and their fires, for their Lares and Penates, for their wives, their children, their home, their native land. If he does, Webster Davis will deserve well at the bands of the American people. I spoka before .the Mohawk club In Detroit and fooxtd the Democrats en tbiishtstSe to a ' degree to warm the cockles of one's heart. The general de moralization of Republicans over the Porto BScan tarlflt bin, the Hay-Paunce-fote treaty and other things, together ?rtth exposures of corruption now be ing made of local Republican matters tn MV'r", give the Michigan Demo crats hopes of carrying the state. .The city town April elections show large Democratic gains and indicate which way the cat win Jump in No . v ember. While I was lecturing before the fac ulty and students of Michigan univer sity at Ann Harbor I received a tele gram fresa Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas chairman of the Democratic srkaiai committee, urging me. really ordering me to so to Rhode Island and make some speeches, which I did. I fband the Little Rhody Democrats figntlac an ap hffl battle with astound ing forMtode and courage. They did not win. The odds were too great, bat they waged a battle which shows that they will nttlmately redeem that Ittfle midget of a state from the malign reiga of the Republican. In my jndg ment one can see Republicanism in Its worst estate in Rhode Island. They bar the : nnfalreat apportionment for lejlslatlTB purposes to be found on the American continent. It is so arranged tbat the ctty of Proridenoe. which con tains neatly naif the population qf the state, has only one state 'senator out of T2 and only. 12 members of the lower boos oat of 72. The Democrats have always a fighting chance of carrying Providence, bat not mncn of carrying the oattrtng rotten borooghs. Ex-Governor Darts told roe that tmdsr" the ouiiageooa apportionment it was so fixed tbat about 367500 people out of 400,000 elected a majority of both houses of the state legislature, so thai erer SOOuOOO of the- people of Rhode Island are macticalbr disfranchised for leMltr nnrnoM and ppnaeanentl? the election of senators of tfc Tfoltad Ctatasw lTn method of pro ednre as to tfc latter seems to bettat flea man tttmaum xaa fcrogfit Whirs enabiei nkn to buy a till &mdng the ttonscript fainerl It fashtnrton; Vet all these things are AMM to th part Which brates a great aeiTafeaBt ft pUre ballot nd a fair and Whose heart is always bleed fej (of tt wrongs of the boor negro tatta tdttta't Why don't these hypo efttei ftnd orrubtloniStS aire the poor White lain bi bhode Island a rhaucs tt h political life? QOTefnaf DaVli also toid me that about 49 ttebuUiean multimillionaires abiblately eontrol the politics of the state another evidence of the much Vaunted purity of the Republican par ty, Some day iomehowt that old anti (lusted eohatitutlon and apportionment Will be bieted . and feiefl will have thelf rlihts, t)UU mother sign of the love of lib erty possessed and exhibited by Rhode XtUttd Republican Is the fact that they sUU maintain and uphold a prop arty qualification on the right of suf frage, the only state til the Union.

Another queer manifestation of Rhode Island politics Is that it Is openly charged and generally believed that Senator Wetmore is a citlsen of Rhode Island only for political purposes and Is really a citizen of New York, the paradise of multimillionaires. Still, by reason of his big checks for campaign purposes, be Is likely to be returned to the senate of the United States. 'But even in Rhode Island all Repub licans cannot be induced to swallow the nauseous dose now being prepared for them at Washington. Both Rhode Island senators and both Rhode Island representatives voted for the Porto Rl can tariff, but Governor Dyer of Rhode Island, the outgoing Republican, thus slaps them and the administration In the face: I belieaa it is th duty of every BepahQcna to stand op and with no uncertain sound condemn any course of pndure by congress which brings into question the honor of the American nation toward those new peoples who hare come under its protection. In the vary beginning of the war with Spain, when it was uncertain what the re sult would be so far as added territory was con cerned, tha United States went to Porto Rico; it made no excuse that tha island had been misgov erned by Spanish rule; it made no apologies; it said th island of Porto Rico is the gateway to the.- Antilles. To treat these people now as if they were aliens, as if they had no rights st all. to have gone ever and taken possession of their island, to set np our own government and then to impose dutea upon them just as we would upon the people of Haiti or Santo Domingo, is one of the most outrageous transactions that could be thought of. It is moat encouraging that so many of tha men who mold public opinion have taken the stand thej have. It is not a question of consti tutional right; it is a question of simple Justice. Nations hare mcral obligations resting upon them as well as individuals. Ood forbid that any peo ples should hare a say that they ptefeired Span ish rule and that they trusted more in Spanish honor than they did in the honor of tha United States. The Republican party has always been loyal to tha principles It has enunciated. I be lieve there is today sufficient manhood in tha party to stand up and not only protest against but to refuse support to any men or any measures not sbaolntsly committed tn the principlea of na tional Justice Sad national honor. What a spec tacit it will he to European nations that this people, ha ring been ounu,weied by ns and brought Into our Said, should be treated aa strangers and taxed without reason for bringing their protracts into our porta. - We might Just as well tag the people of Block Island for the fish and farm products they send to tha mainland aa to tax these people Of Porto Rica for what tttey brihg to us. This awesttea is oaw in which every Repub lican should ba intereatod. I believe that before tha ttma comas far the meeting of the national coirrentto la Philadelphia this question Will ba settled and settled with . justice and honor, not only to ouraelvte, but to tha people who by everr moral right should b a part of our nation. -CaMnrrtast Coaala 't Heweaatle. One thing I learned in Rhode Island gave me pleasure, and that Is that the new statehouse Is built out of Georgia marble! This la carrying coals to New castle. For ' generations federal pub lic buildings in the south sod central west have been constructed of New England marble. New England granite and New England stone, though such material was abundant In most of the states where the buildings were erect ed. But the tide has turned at last, and Rhode Island leads the way for using southern and western marble and stone. From Rhode Island I made a flying trip to Bost jrn. I visited Bunker Hill monument.' the Old South church, the old statehouse. Boston Common, War ren bridge. ' Faneutl ball and the place where the Immortal tea episode occur red. I saw the statues of Colonel pTesc?tt; 'old. Sami' Adams. Daniel Webster and other great worthies. It does a patriot , good to be amid such scenes and to think of the men who made hem famous. Close to Bunker Hill ironutnent,ln a little park In which there is a splendid monument to the Massachusetts soldiers who died lh tbe civil war. there are bronze tablets or plates bearing the names of the Ameri cans killed at Bunker Hill, and. strange to say 4 the names of the privates come first apoa that enduring scroll of fame. After tfkefr eome the names of the aOaerav beglaalsg with the- lssmortal as tfsjar 0sraS Warren, , Near the great monument itself, at thl t&Jrinjf of Whose cornerstone and at Whose dedication &aniel Webster de livered two of his most celebrated ora iiotisi li a monument to the memory of Colonel iPrescotti topped with his statue af heroic! sise-. As I approached it three little girls were playing about tfc One of them sat down on its base. Another saidi et up. Arem't you afraid of that old Iron man at the top?" 'Mo.1 replied the sitting one: "he's deadt But nevertheless the memory of what he and his brave companions did on that spot on a certain 17th of June in the long ago will never be for gotten while the earth spins around on its axis of slides down the ecliptic t picked up a iittle piece of stone at the foot' of the monument and a broken twig on the Common to take to my lit tle boyi who was born on St Jackson's day, as keepsakes to remind him how American blood once reddened those spots of earth dear to the American heart. After "doing the Hub' in a hop and skip sort of way I went down to the J Southern Union depot, ate a dish of genuine Boston baked beans and med itated upon the virtues of the sacred codfish. As t looked out upon the lean, rocky, unproductive fields of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut and upon the clean, well built, busy, pros perous, wealthy and almost innumera ble cities and towns t wondered how the early settlers ever managed to wring a subsistence out of such soil. I confess It gave me a higher opinion than I have hitherto entertained of the virtues, industry, courage and fortitude of the pilgrims and their descendants. Their present wealth and prosperity can be easily accounted for. The rest of the country has been laid under tribute for their benefit for more than a century by federal tariff legislation, but how the deuce they made shift to eke out a living,. to propagate and mul tiply and even to accumulate somewhat- of wealth by agriculture, is a mystery to one accustomed to the un speakable fertility of the Mississippi valley. I honestly believe that one county in my district produces year by year more food for man And beast than the entire state of Rhode Island could be made to produce by any sort of farming and any quantity or quality of fertilizer. It contains an area little larger than the average county west of the Mississippi and that small area "mostly water," as one humorously Inclined Rhode Island er told me. They manufacture every thing in New England, but even for that business they are inconveniently located, being compelled to bring In nearly all their raw materials. Includ ing fuel, from the south or west. Why don't the southerners and westerners do their own manufacturing? I could not help trying to Imagine what a pop ulous and wealthy region the Missis sippi valley will be when to the won drous richness of the soil is added the incalculable wealth which manufactur ing Institutions will bring. On the whole, after a hasty personal ocular in spection, my solemn conviction Is that the present New England is the most amazing monument ever erected to hu man energy, intelligence industry and ambition. First and last, I have now been in 2(5 states of the Union, in two territories and the District of Columbia. The more I see of our country the more 1 thank and praise Almighty Ood for giving us such a home, and the more heartily I sing. My country, 'tis of thee, 8weet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. The strangest and most pleasant bit of political information I picked up on this trip is the fact that the Rhode Is land Democrats are as fond of William J. Bryan as we are out west. Oatras Is Idaho. The investigation which the military affairs committee of the house is mak ing Into the outrages committed under martial law in Idaho is bound to help the Democrats a great deal in the lmj pending election. Great credit Is due to the Democrats on that committee for holding on with bulldog tenacity until they get at the truth. John J. Lents of Ohio and William Sulzer of New York are taking the leading part in prodding the Republicans. Both are good lawyers, and they can't be bull dosed, browbeaten, terrorized or chok ed off till they ascertain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth out of the outrageous, un-American and brutal capers cut out there by cer tain persons dressed in a little brief authority. When fully told, the tale of the Idaho "bull pen" will rival in ghastly horrors the story of the black hole of Calcutta, which Macaulay has made immortal. Things were done In Idaho under Republican misrule in the closing days of the nineteenth century which rival in damnableness any of the acts per formed In the dark ages. Little by lit tle. Inch by Inch, the Democrats of the committee on military affairs are drag ging the truth to the light of day. When it is published. It will make the American people from ocean to ocean gasp in astonishment and fill them with honest Indignation and wrath against the men who have either caus ed or connived at such atrocities. The popular account against the Republic an party is already a long one. but it grows day by day., and there will be an accurate and stern settlement of it on the first Tueeday after the first Mdn-, at all. By so doing you will be able to lend her any assist in next November. Perhaps t i T j . day In next November. . Perhaps will be a final settlement with the Re publican party, for, having abandoned every principle for which It originally stood. It has no ralson d'etre no res son for being. UNFAIR TREATMENT.

GAGE EXPLAINS Secretary Gage Recently Issued a State meat Which Gives His View of the Currency Act as Follow! t Gold Is now the United States stand ard of value. A redemption fund of $150,000,000 in gold is established. The Secretary of the Treasury is em powered to issue and sell bonds for this purpose. All treasury notes issued for silver bullion under the Sherman law are to be retired and replaced by silver certifi cates. The Secretary of the Treasury has power to suspend the issue of gold cer tificates. The Secretary of the Treasury has power to coin any of the 1890 bullion in to subsidiary silver coins up to $100,000, 000. The Secretary of the Treasury has power to refund $839,000,000 of outstand ing bonds by exchanging for them 2 per cent bonds, and pay the - difference in value in cash. Rates at which old bonds will be ex changed for new two per : cents are 105. 6851 for the three per cents, 111.67S5 for for the 4 per cents, and 110.0751 for the 5 per cents. Banks are permitted to issue circula tion up to the par value of the bonds de posited. GRABBING THE BOODLE To secure' additional ' currency banks are required to make application, and some banks, anticipating the passage of the bill, began as early as February 21 last to order this additional circulation.

Your attention a moment longer on the brood sow: The brood sow should from now on receive the uttermost at tention. She should receive a liberal dose twice a week of bone-making material, such as Ungles1 Hogette is. The rem edy not only makes the necessary bone, but is a preventive and conditioner, putting the sow in a perfectly healthy condi tion, helping her at farrowing time makes her milk pure and free from fever, and thereby doing away with the great loss in suckling pigs that we sometimes have. You should also give her the run of the yard, if possible, where she will gather up lots of valuable feed. Her sleeping quarters should be warm and dry, changed at least twice a week. You should make a practice of petting her, and if you devote a few minutea to this every day, when farrowing time comes you can get right into the pen beside her and not molest her ftucc sue may uccu jil iuui wiiuuui causiug uer auy un easiness.

Under the new law national banks are permitted to withdraw from deposit with the treasury department bonds to secure circulation to the extent of not to exceed $3,000,000 in any one month by depositing with the comptroller lawful money to take its place. The high mar ket price of the old bonds has induced many banks to withdraw a part of their deposit for the purpose of disposing of them for the high premiums now offered and this demand has already reached the limit permitted by law. Bonds to the par value of $3,000,000 will be with drawn, and the comptroller already has on file applications to be . considered to the amount of $800,000. Observe the date at which your sub scription expired and send in a remit tance. It is the right thing to do. GOOD PLACE TO SHUN.
