FRIDAY, AUGUST 4,1898.

THE "Immortal J. N." has written over his own signature a denial ot bis recent alleged death

Golnrabus, Ohicv

nod says the reporter who wrote his obituary is entitled to an increase of salary.

LAST fall many a farmer voted for Cleveland in order that he might,according to promise, get $1.25 a bushel for his wheat Demooratio demagogues may fool the farmers apart of the time, but thev can't tool them all the time.

THK Charleston Xewi and Courier is a Democratic paper and yet it advocates good Republican doctrine. McKinley himself could not do better than this: "Every mill and laotory that w# build and operate successfully Is a big helper In the cause of our independence. Bvery shoo that (rives employment to one or more efficient workmen Is a smaller but important help. very wheel that turns, in town or country, does its part of the rTeat work. What we need more than ail else, as a people, is to make what we need, instead of depending on the other people to make It (w us."

Ykrv Republican:—Mary H. Krout, I of the Chicago Inter Ocean, is one of I the former Indiantans who does not go back on her native State. Most of the I Chicago ridicule of the Hoosier State I comes from youths from Tail Holt and Weed Patch Hill who have taken service on Chicago journals and are fond of perpetrating their circumscribed view of

Indiana from a wayback standpoint in order to demonstrate their own metro-1 politan contempt of things rural.

THE Congress which is about to assemble will be larger in point of numbers than any ot its predecessors. Tie Fifty-second Congress had 420 members, while the Fifty-third will have 444. This increase of twenty-four members is made altogether in the Honse. In the Senate the members will number eighty-eight, as in the last Congress, but the Honse which had 332 members in the Congress which expired last March, will have 356 in the one which meets next week.

WITH wheat protected

20 cents a bushel by

the McKinley bill, and selling at SO^ceuta, the most obtuse Republican farmer can't see any beauties in protection.—Frankfort Crescent.

But hold. Did not the Chicago plat form denounce the tariff as "a robber? of the great majority of the American people tor the benefit of the few And did

President Cleveland sav in hif

fbtnon=

free trade message that "the

price of an article is increased by pre cisely the amount of the tariff?'" According to Democratia logic had no' wheat been protected by a 20 oent tariff the price now instead of being 50 cents a bushel would have been 30 cents.

I. THE Republican position on tariff questions is conoisely and clearly set forth by the New York Sun, a staunch Administration organ, as follows

Tariff duties, say the Republicans, Bhould not be levied for the mere purpose of revenue, hut largely with a view of promoting and protecting American manufactures and labor, and relieving farjaers and mecbaaics from unfavorable forelga competition. The Republicans say that it Is one of tho powers and duties of a Government to protcct the people who maintain it from unfair foreign competition as well as from hostile foreign invasion. The people, Hi rough Uielr representatives, impose the tixes on goods entering into American porte I rum other countries, and they Save the right land it Is natural that they should exercise It) so to impose these duties that the Interests of A mericanH will be favored and the Interests of foreign rivals in the same industries or pursuits discriminated against. That Is the Republican doctrine.

The threat made in. the Chicago platform to smash and rip up the Republiin tariff policy is what is playing havoc with the banks, factories and commercial houseB. If the mere threat will cduse such a panic as we are now pose ing through, what will the reality be?

To the Editor Journal: WHAT IS a "bull," and a "bear." a "corner." a "put uml tall," "short" and Nongl'" What dues all this lingo mean as we see it In oonneC Hon with the Chicago lioard ot Trade reports?

IHQUIUEB.

A "bull" is one who operates to raise the value of stock, that he may buy for rise. A "bear" Is one who sells stocks for future delivery, which he does not own at time of sale. A "corner" is when the bears cannot buy or borrow the stock to deliver in fulfillment' of their contracts. A "put and call" is when a person gives so mnob per oent. for the option of buying or selling so much stock on a certain fixed day, at a price fixed the daj the option is given. "Short" is when a person sells stocks when they

Morning.

In this newtt ,mls found the last night's sun That told of bt&rry glory just begun Not lost, but hidden in God's michtyimnd, As hides some thought we cannot understand. Ashides some Joy In sorrow's deepest stress To blossom as the rose In wilderness! The lily's heart ofgold, itaiporfume shed, Ues brown and ser», afcii yet it is not dead lis life Is set in roots as firm and fine As faith o'er death blooms with a bloom dlvlnel Last night its lidded eye was dark'and dim This morn the radiance of the sun shines In! —S. L. Thompson.

Sometimes.

Sometimes we feel that thoughts are not worth thinking ^Sometimes that laurtls are not worth the wreathing Sometimes it seems that wine Is not worth drinking

Sometimes that air Is scarcely worth the breathing Sometimes no friend seems worthy to be trusted

Sometimes on pessimism deep we Ijorden Sometimes with life we're very much disgusted Sometimes our liver's badly out of order. —Kansas City Journal.

Good Klgbt.

"Good night!'1—the little lips touch ours. The little arms infold us. And, oh, that thus through coming years

They might forever hold us.

"Good night'" we'answer back and smile And kiss the diwping eyes. But in our trcmbltng hearts tho while

The wistful queries rise.

Who, In the weary years to come. When we »re hid from sight. Will clasp these little bands and kiss

These little lips "Good night?"

TO MAKE HENS LAY.

A Few Simple Rules for Getting and Keeping Errs. It is one thinff to keep eg-ps, but it is much harder to get them.

At least so it used to seem to me till 1 learned the secret. It is easy enough to make hens lay, once you know how. Here is the rule. A little soft food, hot for breakfast, as early as you can gut about it, for hens are early risers and want their breakfast the first thing.

For dinner, wheat, barley, oats or buckwheat. Scatter where they may scramble for it, and if th?y have to scratch half the afternoon to make sure that they have not overlooked a angle kernel, so much the better. And a dash of corn, hot in cold weather, to go to roost on. They should not be overfed and must have clean water always near.

If they can run at large in the summer, they will eat grass and get exer esse while scratching for worms.

In winter, chop them all the cabbage and onion refuse, apple cores and even bits of potatoes. In fact, any green thing and a dash of cayenne pepper in the morning feed will stimulate laying.

Plenty of dust for baths, pounded bones for shell making and a dust of sulphur in the nests will make the hens comfortable and Insure eggs.

Now, having them, they are not hard to preserve. Bring them in fresh, set In salt, small end down, fill the box, fasten the cover tight and turn the box over, once in a week or so.

Keep the boxes in a cool dry place. The secret of this is, that an egg will keep if the temperature is cool, and the continual turning keeps the yolk where it ought to be.—Home.

It has again become our sad duty to chronicle another sad event. The participants of the two fights whioh recently took place now prowl for gore and the lingering rays of the setting sun lights up the blood specked horizon and tells us that consternation and pandemonium reigned in the camp of the combatants. As a result one has taken to drink and the other has been living on grass hoppers and wild oats. It is too bad to have such events to happen in our quiet town and we hope we will never have to call the public to grieve over such a thing again.

A WILD HOG.

Allen Wheeler is the owner of a wild bog. From his pighood he wandered far from the other swine and spends much ot his time in neighboring corn fields. He is vicious and could not be caught, even being hunted with pitchforks. It is thought that it was bitten by a dog and no doubt it was. It has all the symptoms of a mad animal suffering from hydrophobia. The animal should be hunted up and killed
