Democrats have done a
great deal of talking among
themselves about the Ohio
Democratic platform, but
few of them enve to oX press
opinions about it for pnbli
cation. One of th" excep
tions w Representative Bank
heart, of Ala., who said of it:
'The Ohio platrorm is all
right and should receive the
support of every Democrat
in the BucKeye state.
It conforms with the exist
ing conditions and states
the issues of the campaign
in language clear enough
for anybody to 'understand.
I suppose the republicans
thought the democrats
would reaffirm the Kansas
Citv platform and rmew nl
legiance to Mr. Bryan and
nil that sort of things But
thev werefooled. Mr. Brvun
I am satisfied, is as popular
with the democrats of Ohio,
as he was in 1896 and in
1900, but there was no need
or necessity to discuss him
in the State convention. It
would have added nothing
to have placed fiee silver in
the platform, and it might
have caused a division in the
ranks. As it is, the Ohio
democrats have agreed t6
bury the past and have form
ed n line of battle on condi
tions that have arisen since
the last campaign. I believe
as Conventions are held in
other states, the people will
witness the democratic lead
ers following in the footsteps
of the Ohio democrats. The
democrats of the South have
the greatest respect for Mr.
Bryan and he can always de
pend upon a royal welcome
when he comes among us.
it does not signify that he
has lost popularity, when

the democrats jn Convention
decline to mention in state
platforms the issues ns set
forth in the iMe National
Convention. We must meet
changed conditions and that
cannot be done ly sticking
to the !rtuerj of the past.'
As to immediate national
issues, Mr. Band head said:
"The republicans seem to be
divided on the question of
tariff revision and the adop
tion of reciprocity treaties.
I am in favor of tariff revis.
ion and it must come sooner
or later. I am opposed to
trusts and I beliexe the only
way to kill the trusts is to
pass a revenue tariff. Have
tnever savs that the tariff is
the mother ol trusts, and he
ought to be good authori
ty." "
The charges against the
Collector of Internal Revenue
at Louisville, Kv., of having
violated the Civil Service law
together with the opinion of
the Civil Service Com m mis
sion that the evidence sus
tained in the charges have
beep referred to Mr. McKin-
ley. As it is well known that
I he violations of law, ot
which there is no doubt, was
instigated by the republican
bosses in Kentucky, under
ordinary cirru instances, Mr.
McKinley would not deem it
advisable to take any action
t hut could be regarded as a
rebuke to them, but rumor
says that circumstances in
this case are not ordinary,
and theie is concealed there
in a plot, which involves the
election ol a successor to
Senatoi Deboe. According
to this rumor, Mr. McKinley
is being urged to take advan
tage of these charges 'to re
move Collector Sapp, and to
appoint, in his place J. A
Craft, a former democrat
and a part of the plot is that
Col R. W. Knott, Editor of
the Louisville Post, who pro
fespes to be a democrat, but
who supported McKinley in
1896 and 1900, nnd who is
now supporting the adminis
tration policy, is to bo sent
ro the Senate us an adminis
tration Senator by the com
bined votes of administra
tion democrats and republi
cans. As the story is told in
Washington, Col. Knott
pledges himself to get enough
of his kind of democrats
elected to the Kentucky lee
islature to make a majority
with the republicans added.
Perhaps when the story be
co es know in Kentucky,
the democratss will be able
to make it impossible for
Col. Knott to carry out bis
nart of the nlot. even if Mr.
McKinley agrees to become
a party to it.

"One thing I have found
out since coming to t.hH Phil
ippines," writes a Kansas
bov, "and that is how to
citcb grasshoppers airl to
irepare them lor f'.ioi. The
Philipinos not only make
grasshopper pies and cakes
jut they pound them info
powder and steeping them
into water, drink it. There
are several methods used by
the natives for calchlhg
grasshoppers. The most ef
fective is the net. This is a
large butterrlj' net. arranged
with a netting placed over a
hoop, and. to the latter is
fixed a long handle. Thena
tivo takes this handle, and,
with the mouth of the net to
ward the grasshoppers,-he
rushes forth, bagging con
siderable numbers at a time.
Then wi ha ye the paddle me
thod, which consists in using
a long stick, to the end of
which is fixed a piece of flat
wood about 10 inches in di
ameter. If the grasshoppers
pass oyer one's own proper
ty this method is used, for
then nl! the grasshoppers
killed by swinging this in
strument through the clouds
of grasshoppers as they pase
over aie dropped to the
ground nnd cnu be picked up
at leisure. Another method
consists of exploding cart
ridges in th midst of the
swarm. Alter un eneenve
explosion the ground is cov
ered with them. But this is
very expensive and is seldom
used. Grnsshopppr catching
is a profitable basinets in the
Philippines. They sell at J
a sack. I have never seen a
native eat. a green grasshop
per, but I have seen them eat
the dried ones by the pocket
ful. The housewife in the
Philippines takes considera
ble delight in placing a nice
grasshopper pie before .voir.
Great, caie is taken in prepar
ing them, so that 'they do
nor lose any of their form."

some of the boldest, grim
mest hnttles of modern times
General 0. 0. Howard, who
a a .111
commarineu one or me wings
of Sherman's army on the
famous march to the sea,
and who bore Lee's first
shock at Gettysburg, is an
other of precisely the same
typo. No one could be sim
plier, kinder or gentler. In
fact, it seems to be a rule
with men nswith steel, that
the hardest knocks produce
the best temper. Old array
officers and old phj siciansare
apt to have a broad minded
charity and a hopeful, sunny
lore of their kind which is
rare elsewhere. They reverse
the rule of the witty French
cynic: "The more I know
about men the better I like
dogs."
The last time I interviewed
General Howard it was on
the subject of answers to
pra.ver, and I thought I had
him. In his famous fight
with Stonewall Jackson the
Union Lures were defeated,
so I inquired of General How
nrd:
"You prayed before that
battle?"
"Yep," he answered.
"And Jackson was a pray
ing man. He prayed also?"
"Yes," he assented.
"Then how was it he gain
ed the victory? Did that
mean that, the Union cause
was wrong?"
Very gently the old gener
a I replied: "Both our pray
ers were answered. ' Jackson
prayed for immediate victory
ami i for ultimate triumph
of our cause. We both got
what we prayed f r."

A Drought and Hot Weather Destroy
Ing- Crops in Kansas.
Kansas City, 12. No rain
fell to-day in any part of the
drought stricken district, in
cluding all of Kansas, wes
tern Missouri, Oklahoma
nnd Indian Territory. Over
much of this region this was
the worst day of thelonghot
spell, the ternperatuie being
more than 100' nnd no
breeze stirring.
Corn, oats, bay and pota
toes arc so badly injured
that, even with rain, the
yield will be short, and as
the weather bureau gives no
hope of relief the outlook is
discouraging. At some
places in Kansas there has
been no rainfall whatever for
nearly three months. The
present is the worst drought
pincel860. when New Eng
land sent food to the settlers
of Kansas. .
Hortever, Kansas farmers
are harvesting one of the
largest crops of wheat, if not
the largest, in the history of
the State. A great many
counties send word that,
with rain, corn will be half
a crop; without rain soon, no
yield. A few sav there i yet
hope for a fair harvest.
Hay sold this morning for
$20 a ton, 1 cent a pound,
the highest price eyer reach
ed in this market. This is al
most as much, pound for
pound, us wheat is worth.
Receipts were very small.
In numerous places there
is no pasturage and owners
of cattle are shipping to
their farms.
During the last five days
110.000 hogs have beeu re
ceived at the stockyard,
breaking all records. These
heavy shipments are due to
the scarcity of coin. In Au
drain couuty, Missouri,
joung calves, worth $5 a

Pains, aches and rhe

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

It used to be considered that only urinary
