Mr. l*r>an’u Vituperation,
_
It is a spectacle indeed to see a
imin twice honored by the norai-
nation of a great political party
dragging himself through the mm*
of aim m <3 indulging in the Jan-
guflge of a common soold. Mr. W.
J. Bryan is disgusting everybody,
lu a speech a few dnvs ago ul I)e-
indulged himself in
vituperative outburst
against Mr, Cleveland which reads
like tho vindicative threats
of a small boy who has been
t brushed by a larger one. Mr.
Bryan lias a perfect right to hate
the ax-president ImL I the question
that presents itself to the
Jill mind i what possible good
can come of repeat dly airing his
hatred?
It is fast being forced upon the
minds of every one that Mr.
nil is and has always been a pal¬
pable misfit—a so rry and unap-
preoiativo twico-camiidat 0 ol the
Democratic party—and worse yet,
wanting iu the common sense of
a gentleman His diatribes against
llms» who failed to agree with him
in the campaigns of 1890 and 15KKi
are utterly without point ami w<
are forced to tho conclusion thus
his only reason for making thesi
attacks is to be found in the fact
that he knows himself and
policies to be relegated, but rather
than see the parly gel back to the
old p-sition Iron, which it was led
to Victory, and rathei than s. «*
those whom tlm. has
return in full fellowship
Irng to lend his influence in
ting usnmler tlie Democratic for-
l!08. it cannot be that Mr. Bryan
merely wishes it known that in
docs not admire Mr. Cleveland,
for if this w ere eo he could simplv
r.ifer to the eampaign of l^ 1 -
when be cast his vote for the Pop-
iilir.l nominee rather than tho ex
president. Where is tho necessity
of this oniiiiual outpouring <>.
vituperation and invoctive.
Mr. Bryan is not a
ho is not a great man, and ho
not a lit leader of a great parly.
There are few people w ho can see
any wisdom or common sense in
Dir. Bryan’s boast that he look
a special pride i» driving Mr.
Cleveland and others from tho
Democratic party, and there is
yd a smaller number perhaps who
concede to him the right to say
that “we dn not w ant him in ot r
party." Tho main issue that “our
party’’stood for is as dead as
llectoi and the same tie
juiso took with it Mr. Bryan so
fat a« polities ia concerned, am!
hence his acrid speeches and cross
grained position.
But this is the last note wo art
now hearing. The people an
..wearied of 1,7s turmoil and strife
and when ha retires behind tli 1
Platte for the last time there will
r»e a deal of satisfaction not now
felt.

It is certainly very gratifying

it is reasonal presume that

of the state was not seriously in¬

south of Macon must have been
even less. We are informed that

Bones, were the first and earliest
f irm tn whirl’ phosphoric acid was
applied fa the sell. Bones are a com¬
bination of organic and inorganic
matter. The organic matter in a bone
COR1; !Ti«’rly of and a Autin-
ous matter th-* Jr.o ^ar.ic matter is
chiefly phosphrta of lime. This dual
composifior ot a bone can be tl* nion-
strated very graphir ,y by taking
the leg hor.e .f cr utttma.1 and soak-
fug it for quite > while in weak mu-
riatie acid. The acid will dissolve
away Hie phosphate of lime, which
gives rigidity p.nd stiffness to tie
bone, and leave behind the glutinous,
flexible animal matter of the bone,
which will still retain the shape of
tho original bone. You can now take,
this soft organic matter and tie is
into a knot, without breaking it. Th*/
soft animal matter of the bane Is rich
in nitrogen, so that a bone fertilizer
in a doubls manure, both phosphadc
and nitrogenous. Bones vary a good
deal in ct.rnpos’-tion, according to the
nature and *sv of tie animal; there
is not so much phosphate in the bones
of a young animal as those of an old
one. Even in the same animal, the
hard Thigh bones of on ox, for in¬
stance, wii; contain more phosphate
of lime then softer bones from other
parts of the animal. Bones to be of
value should ot course be ground, and
the finer the grinding tb? better. A
coarsely crus hod or ground raw bone,
which has not been treated to remove
any of its original fatty matter, will
