It will be Interesting to a great many
people to know that Washington coun
ty ranchmen are now busily engaged
la harvesting Russian thistle for win
ter feed for cattle. Practical experi
xsents. the past two years, have de
monstrated that cattle will leave alfal
fa, gam mar grass or aand hill hay to
eat very particle of thistle hay. and
that the herds will thrive and go
through the winter In better condition
than where they are fed the best qual
ity cf blue stem or timotay and clover.
The tclftle mart be cut at the proper
time and care should be used in the
beginning not to feed too abundantly
if the bet results are to be otbained.

SHORT-HORN SALES.
W. D. Fittt had a recent sale of
Imported Englieh, Scotch and Cana
dian short-horns at the Chicago stock
yards, which waa in one sense phe
nominaL In this sale 44 cows and heifers
brought $35,135. an average of $798.52
each, and 15 bulls and calves sold for
$11,690, an average of $779.33, making
& total of 59 animals for $16,825, or a
general average of $7&3.64 per head.
The highest price waa paid for an Im
ported two-year-old heifer, "Mayflow
er th." calved July 10, 1898, bred by
L. de Rothschild, Aecot, England, and
sold to Col. G. M. Casey, Shawnee
j-ount. Mo., for $2,600. The highest
priced bull was imported "Orange
Chief" for $1,510. to Mr. E. W. Bowen,
Delphi, Ind. The Canadian heifer,
"Queen of the Leu a as," calved Jan
uary 3. 1853, brought $1,800, and a
Canadian cow, "Mildred 6th," sold for
$1,325. both to Mr. E. S. Kelley of
Springfield, O. The Canadian bull,
-Royal Banner," went for $1,505. to
Mr. II. F. Brown, Minneapolis, Minn.
Forty-five Imported animals brought
$36,105, or an average of $802.33 each,
and 14 Canadian-bred animals sold
for $10,720, an 'average of $765.71.
The cows and heifers were nearly all
taken east of the Mississippi, which
shows that successful sales can be
held towards the east, though of late
years Kansaa City ha3 been the great
sales point, and the September sales
there bid fair to be this year the great
est ever held in thoroughbreds.
DANGER IN PASTURING SORGHUM
Because they have seen cattle eat
young first and second growth sor
ghum and kafir corn, and in some in
stances pretty nearly subsist on them
without apparent harm, many persons
are ready to maintain that these green
growths are never dangerous. Yet un
der circumstances and for reasons
which no one is yet able to explain,
other persons In numerous Instances
find to their sorrow th.t the plants are
almost immediately fatal. This sug
gests that no one is justified in taking
any chances by permitting cattle to
have access to such greens.
Among others. Secretary Coburn
cites three examples or their fatal ef
fects occurring recently. Thomas
Feakes ot Lincoln county turned his
cows Into an unused corral where a
few scattering bunches of kafir corn
were growing. In ler-s than thirty
minutes seven of the cows that had
nipped the growing blades were dead.
Several others were made very sick,
but recovered. John Xaser of Os
bom county was driving a lot of
young cattle through a pasture where
there were stools of green kafir corn
and sorghum. Within thirty minutes
ten out of eleven heifers that had eat
en of these sprouts were dead. C. F.
Wadsworth of the same county at
about the same time lost six steers In
the same way., Losses such as these
are of annual i occurrence, and a list
of them would be very long. The fact
th?t results are not always fatal should
net furnish an excuse for taking risks
so likely to prove extremely expen
sive. Certain safety is only assured
by absolutely preventing cattle from
getting within reach, cf the growing
plants named. Orange Judd Farmer.
With all respect to the above publi
cation, we wish to suggest that the ten
thousand farmers wno have r.ot lost
cattle in an inexplicable manner and
who have pastured sorghum and kafflr
corn are entitled to as much respect
as the fifty who have lost stock. The
Nebraska station has experimented
and its results, are public. There is no
more danger from sorghum and kafflr
corn than there is from clover or hun
garian both have been known to
kill cattle in short order, but we do
not condemn them for that reason.
NOTES.
A yield of 10.000,000 barrels of ap
ples Is expected this year.
Every steamer that leaves Japan for
America carries from 200 to 700 Japan
ese Immigrants.
There is but one coffee plantation in
the Sulu islands. It covers seventy
acres and has 35.000 trees.
Cream for churning should be kept
at a low temperature, thoroughly
stirred when moreJs added, and none
should be put in for twenty-four hours
before churning. During this time the
cream should be allowed to warm up
to v0 or C5 degrees and then cooled off
to 53 or 58 three or four hours before
churning. Unsatisfactory results will
be obtained by rapidly cooling or heat
ing the cream.
The Oklahoma station this year pub
lishes an experiment to determine the
proper time for seeding wheat. The
ground waa manured In the winter of
18aS-3 end wheat sown at three dif
ferent times, namely September 15,
October 15 and November 15. The
first yielded C6.73 bushels per acre,
and the second 3I.S4 bushels and the
last 23.47 bushels per acre, testing re
spectively 59. 58 and 48 pounds per
bushel. The land wejs prepared In the
same way and sowa with the same
kind of seed in order to determine the
value of the different periods of seed
ing. The grain shipments to and from
Kansas City are the greatest ever
known there. The receipts of wheat
from Kansas alone average 500 cars

A CENSORED PRESS
Manila Jails are Crammed With Political
Prisoners while Military Satraps For
bid the Printing of the News.
For the column of information which
has come to us by mail from Manila
we desire to return our sincere thanks
to the Associated press. For some
months the Philippines have been as
remote as Kamchatka so far as news
was concerned. The policy of the
government has been, apparently, to
keep the American people in absolute
ignorance of everything transpiring in
our far-off colony. The gruesome list
of dead and dying cabled by General
MacArthur has been the only Informa
tion vouchsafed to the public. All
else haa been suppressed. But now
comes a letter from a presumably re
putable and accurate correspondent
which lets in a flood of light. Let us
see what it reveals.
First of all. we find that in the Phil
ippines the press censor is an estab
lished fact. Here is a new and not
altogether pleasing appendage of our
expansion policy. In the United States
proper he would not be tolerated for
a moment; in the Philippines he flour
ishes like the green bay tree. It is
curious, of course, that the flag which
represents in this country the liberty
of the press does not carry with it the
same freedom when it is raised over
the Philippines. It is strange that in
Manila some military understrapper
can exercise an authority which he
would net dare to exert in the United
States: To be sure, it is not an effec
tive censorship which he maintains,
because the sanctity of the mails is
still inviolate, and the truth which
cannot be cabled can be sent through
the slower but secret medium of the
letter post. It would appear, there
fore, that the censorship might well
be abolished. It has no place in the
American system of government. Its
very existence indicates a desire on
the part of the administration to con
ceal something from the people. We
have no sympathy with this effort at
secrecy, and we hope that the corre
spondents at Manila will not hesitate
to use the mails freely in order to let
the American people know exactly
what is transpiring in Manila.
We learn, too, from this column of
correspondence that the jails in Ma
nila are filled with "political prison
ers." Here is another phrase which
grates upon our ears. "Political pris
oners, forsooth! under what war
rant of law can we make arrests for
political offenses? Is this a sample of
"the blessings of liberty and civiliza
tion" which we have promised the
Filipinos? Is this a step toward "be
nevolent assimilation?" Troublesome
and annoying questions these may be
to the administration, but they are
questions which the American people
have a right to ask. Imprisonment
for political crimes is impossible in the
United States. What manner of gov
ernment are we establishing in the
Philippines?
Strange things seem to be happen
ing in the Philippines. When are we
to know the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth? Washing
ton Post.
Campaign Song.
Air "Tramp, tramp, the boys are

There's a movement strong and grand.
Spreading over all the land,
Bringing hope of peace and plenty to
the world.
'Tis a battle for the right
And our homes are in the fight
And the flag of silver coinage Is un

Chorus
Vote, vote, vote for silver coinage!
Sixteen to one our battle-cry!
We can tend to our affairs.
Coin our money, fight our wars
Without consent of any nation 'neath
the sky.
Standing armies we don't need!
So we'll put it in our creed,
That we do not want a hundred thou
sand boys
Every year, 'mid warlike scenes,
Slaughtered in the Philippines,
So we'll keep them safe at home, our
own brave boys.
Chorus
Vote, vote, vote for peace and justice
Down with war where'er you be,
Stand up straight for human right,
Rule by truth, not force and might;
Do not go off conquering islands in the
sea.
Chorus s
Hanna and his crowd must get,
For the people are not yet
Ready to be ruled by trusts and banks
and guns
McKinley'd better pack his grip
And get ready for a trip,
For we want the house ror Bryan in
1901.
Chorus
Vote, vote, vote, the boys are march
ing!
Trusts and combinations must be told
That they cannot rule the land,
In congress nor the white house stand,
And that human rights must not be
bought and sold.

A telegram from Berlin says that
general attention has been attracted
by an interview published in the
Frankfurter Zeitung between that pa
per's correspondent at Tokio and Lieu
tenant von Krohn, who was wounded
in Admiral Seymour's expedition.
Lieutenant von Krohn says:
"At the beginning wounded boxers
were sent to tne hospitals at Tien
Tsin, but it was seen later that this
was a mistake. Hence an order was
given to kill all Chinamen able to
stand, not even to spare the wounded,
but particularly to make absolutely
no prisoners .whatever.

clipping from the St. Paul Dispatch
relative to the organization of a North
western chess association, to take in
the chess players of Minnesota, "Wis
consin, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri. A tournament is to be held
at Lake Minnetonka on September 3,
and state associations are invited to
send delegates to participate. Perma
nent organization of tne N. W. C. A,
will be effected at that time. Unfor
tunately our state meeting begins Sep
tember 4 and it is likely that the Ne
braska association will not be rep
resented. The chess editor Is In receipt of an
interesting letter from Herbert J.
Millington, 361. Park street, Lawrence,
Mass., enclosing subscription to The
Independent. An answer by mail will
go later.
An error occurred in the pieces in

KNOCKED CRAZY
Bryan's Speech and tne Anti-Tin per ialist
Convention DriTea Indiana Be
publicans Wild.
Editor Independent: The notifica
tion speech of Mr, Bryan on the 5th,
the anti-imperialist congress on,, the
the anti-Imperialist congress rent its
blazing rocket into the political hea
vens, calling on the people to rally to
the defense of the republic. Mr.
Towne's terrible arraignment of Mc
Kinley's Philippine policy was a fit
ting climax to these great events. The
incoherent editorial page of the Ind
ianapolis Journal on the day follow
ing Mr. Bryan's speech was most dis
tressing. It had scarcely regained its
equilibrium until the anti-imperialist
congress again unsettled it. One of the
editors said to me a few days ago:
"There may be a landslide for Bryan;
I don't know." Many prominent re
publican leaders have declared their
purpose not to vote for McKinley
again, among them Gen. Lew Wallace
and W. H. H. Miller, attorney general
under Harrison. Even ex-President
Harrison shows a decided inclination
"to be backward about coming for
ward." A still greater number are fol
lowing the example of Thomas B.
Reed and refuse to take the stump. The
Journal in an editorial yesterday
morning attempts to compare condi
tions at present with conditions at the
same time preceding the election in
1872 and finds consolation in the hope
that "the sober second thought will
now, as then, save the republican par
ty." The republican who is satisfied
with McKinley in this section of Ind
iana is a rara avis.
.Appreciating the demoralized con
dition of the republican party, popul
ists are correspondingly elated and
energetically at work. We have or
ganized a Bryan stalwart club in this
city within a month, whose member
ship already reaches 1,200 composed of
silver democrats, silver republicans,
