FARMERS’ CONGRESS.
THE INTERESTING ASSEMBLY PRE
SIDED OVER BY "FARMER" HOARD.
I! ! ■ ■ ■ .1 l. •
Me la an Ex-Governor of Wtecoasln and
la Called the Farmer*’ Friend—How
the Conrreea Started and What It la
For.
Ex-Governor W. D. Hoard of Wis
consin, who was recently elected presi
dent of the Farmers’ National Congress,
is known in liis own state and some
what widely throughout the west as
“Farmer”' Hoard. Probably' Uo one
man lias done more to develop the dairy
industry in Wisconsin and neighboring
states than he, and for mote than 30
yegrs he has taken a fatherly interest in
the personal welfare of hundreds of
farmers. For many years he has pub
lished Hoard’s Dainyman, which has
been regarded as an authority on all
matters pertaining to butter and cheese
making and has been read religiously
by thousands of dairymen. He has alsc
, edited a local paper called The Jefferson
County Union.
The organization which has chosen
Mr. Hoard as its chief executive officei
represents the result of years of com
bined effort on the part of tho western
farmers to form a coherent and repre
sentative body. The congress is the out
growth of the Grange movement, which
a few years ago promised to knit the
agricultural strength of the whole
country into a powerful political body,
strong enough to dictate to legislatures
and railroads.
But the Grange proved too unwieldy,
and it went to pieces almost because of
its own weight. Next came the Farm
ers’ Alliance, with its spice of political
aggressiveness, and this proved even
more popular as a form of organization
than the Grange had been. It was soon
seen, however, that little could be done
by local alliances, so state alliances
were formed, with the object of demand
ing definite reforms.
In order to still further extend the
work the organization was broadened
f ' ’
PRESIDENT HOARD.
and the Farmers’ National Congress was
evolved. The farmers had some diffi
culty in deciding just how many dele
gates should compose their working
body. They did not want the number to
be so large that the congress would be
unwieldy nor so small that it would not
be fairly representative. It was finally
determined to have one delegate from
each congressional district and two dele
gates at large from each state. This ar
rangement has worked very well, and
the sessions have been of much benefit.
There were a number of other candi
dates for the presidency at the recent
convention in St. Paul, but ex-Governor
Hoard proved to be the most popular.
He is a plain, unpretentious man of 60,
who thoroughly understands agriculture
in all its branches and knows, too, how
to win the confidence of an audience.
President Hoard is a native of New
York state, but he removed to Wiscon
sin at the age of 21 and has lived there
ever sinJe. He served during the war as
a private in the Union army and alleges
that’he ‘‘has never done anything star
tling or heroic in his whole life. ”
He managed, however, to become well
and favorably known to a great many
people in Wisconsin. Some of them
were fanners who had read his news
paper, and many were those who had
heard him talk at farmers’ institutes
and similar gatherings. For years he
has been in demand as a speaker, for
he could always lie depended upon to
say something that smacked of sound
common sense as well as to enliven the
session by telling one or two good stories.
In this way he gained a wide reputation

Tutt’s Liver Pills
as a humorist, and his audiences came
to expect at least one funny yarn or
witfily told rmecdote from him when
ever he appeared in public. He tells his
stories with a serious look which adds
not a little to their face value, men ae
is a master of several kinds of dialect,
and his Irish stories are especially well
appreciated.
Perhaps his best story is one which
he told during his gubernatorial can
- vass. It concerned Mike and Pat. Mike
had bet Pat a dollar that he could carry
the latter to the top of a four story
building in his hod.
‘‘Oi’ll take thot bet,” said Pat.
So Pat climbed into the hod, Mike
shouldered it and the .dangerous climb
was begun. At the third story Mike was
nearly exhausted and the hod wabbled
about on his shoulder, but he recovered
his wind and made the top safely.
“Share,” said Mike, as he put the
hod down on the roof, “ye didn’t think
Oi’d lose me bet, did ye?”
“Oi had hopes at the third sthory, ”
said Pat.
Ex-Governor Heard always seems to
have one of these anecdotes on tap to fit
any subject or apply to any situation,
and they are all the better appreciated
for the fact that his applications are
usually extremely pat. Often he tells a
funny story just to put a farmers’ gath
ering in good humor or to break up a
debate in which heated arguments and
personalities have been indulged in.

TEL® ROME TRIBUNE*. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. 1897.
NOT A PKKMANKN V FORT
Troop. Now st <iblck.ini.uKa There Only
1 • nip >rarily. More Aro < omtug.
The United States troops now located
at the Chickameuga Chattanooga Na
tional Military Park are only stationed
there temporarily, according to the
views of Gen. H. V. Boynton, president
of the National Park commission.
There are now over 100 soldiers en
camped at Chickamauga, while this
number will be increased, it is said
within a few days. Men from Barrancas,
Fla., are to be transferred to the Chicka
mauga camp.
The people of Chattanooga says The
Times since the Park was established,
have been anxious to see a genuine mili
tary camp or fort located at Chicka
mauga. It was thought that the moving
of the troops to the scene from the Jack
sqn barracks was the initial step towards
the establishing of a permanent fort
there,
Gen. Boynton, when seen yesterday
afternoon, said:
“It is my opinion the government
will not establish a permanent foitat
the Park until it shall have been thor
oughly established, and ont of the hands
of the commission. This step may be
taken as a method of taking care of the
Pa’k.
“There is nothing going on at present
looking to the locating ot a camp at the
Park, as far as I am aware. The troops
are only stationed there temporarily,
and it will take congressional legislation
to locate any troops permanently at the
Park. Yes, it takvs action of congress.
The question bas not been up before the
commission as yet. ’ ’
It is very evident from the tone of
Gen. Boynton’s conversation that he
will favor the location of a fort at the
Park, but not until it is in a more com
plete state.

A UNITARIAN CONFERENCE.
‘•Old Theology and the Naw** I’iicuMad at
MarMtu|>—-Papera Head.
Saratoga, Sept. 22.—“01d Theology
and the New” was the topic taken up
at the morning session of theUuitariau
conference. Papers were read: "In Re
lation to History and Philosophy” by
the Rev. John W. Chadwick of Brook
lyn and “In Relation to Bible Criti
cism” by the Rev. W. S. Crowe, D. D.
The Rev. Charles S. Dole of Jamaica
Plain, Boston, discussed .“the points of
contact and difference between Uuita
rianism and the new orthodoxy.” He
defined the new orthodoxy as substan
tially the same svsteui of re igious phi
losophy as Unitar.ans held, with the
same idea of the universe. It has, he
said, gotten rid of the devil, the fall of
man nun like errors of the medaeval
SCneme
The Unitarians were pursuing tie
same ideal email for human society mm
the individual. The difference between
the new orthodoxy and mod-rn Uintr.-
riau thought, Mr. Doie iidueu, are not
very important. It is highly important:,
however, that the minds ot reiigiors
leaders and teachers .-should be perfectly
free ami unlettered.
Certainly you don’t want to suffer
with dyspepsia, constipation, sick head
, ache, sallow skin and loss of appetite.
