Not the least of the democratic things to get shaken up these days of democratic discontent is Col. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, sab ! The present congress, though democratic root and branch, has made more republican votes than any other since the war. They probably see their inability to cope with the great questions of the day and want some more republican brains and experience to help them out of the rather close box they have gotten into. There is hardly a family in Greencastle that is too poor to take the Daily Banner Times. The cost of the paper is two 5-cent cigars a week, or two loaves of bread, or two-thirds of a pound of meat, and there is no other luxury or necessity that will contribute as much enjoyment for a family or an individual as the Daily Banner Times. You cannot atford to be

without it.

Publisher and wo want to remark again that

the gentleman interviewed made the statement, .lust where the Democrat can distort an interview into an editorial opinion on that matter we are at a loss to understand. In this case the gentleman interviewed advanced the opinion, and not the interviewer, and it was clearly printed so. Perhaps the Democrat isn't advanced far enough in newspaper ideas to know one kind of statement from the other. We see no other sensible reason for its foolish remark. It has a fit, i however, whenever this paper mentions politics, and we are getting accustomed to some such a break at

every opportunity.

NEWS FROM DEPAUW.

TARIFF IS THE SEX ATE. , At this writing the Wilson tariff bill has not been placed before the senate, either as originally framed in accordance with the mandates of the president, as amended in the house sub-committee, as amended by the house ways and means majority, as amended by the house itself, as amended and re amended by the sub-commitee of the senate finance committee. After its var ied career and manifold moldings it is doubtful whether the original framer, President Cleveland, of the measure that ‘‘has been prepared on the lines suggested in his message,’' will be able to recognize his own offspring, and it may be that the infant will disclaim the parent. Almost eighteen months have elapsed since tne presidential elections of 1892. By the time the tariff monstrosity can have been discussed by the senate, be recommitted to the house and finally become law there will be less than six months intervening before the next general congressional elections. Should the tariff be efianged it will be fully three years before its free trade features can be obliterated. We believe that the best in terests of the country and of the people will be served by prohibiting the passage of any tariff Dill until after the elections in November next. Give the people a further chance to declare themselves at the polls. Every legitimate effort should be made, in the senate and elsewhere, by all friends of protection to stop the further progress of the so called Wilson bill. After the policy of prostration has been dragging itself along its destructive course for a year and more, the news of a postponement of the tariff question till after the next

There are few things for democracy this year to take the offensive side of. They are all on the defensive. In trying to get away from the political issues of the day the Democrat has worn itself out on the A. P. A., but its last statement shows it is not posted, as usual. In Marion county there are 5000 members of the order, 1500 of whom are democrats, as a gen tlcraan from this city was so reliably informed to that effect in Indianapolis last week. This makes a little mathematics necessary. If in it's one statement that “every republican io not an A. P. A., but every A. P. A. is a republican,” the Democrat has misrepresented the matter 1500 times, as shown above, how many tons of encouragement would the paper need to deliberately prevaricate in the matter?

The letting of a pauper physician contract for Greencastle and Madison townships has been continued. Now, Mr. Commissioners, why on earth don't you act like men in this matter? If you want a physician for this work hire one or quit advertising for bids. Are you afraid of losing a vote for the democratic party or have you had enough bids? It seems three bids are not enough from which to make a selection.

The Cuckoo. (After Poe.) < >uoe upon a time most dreary, Grover pondered weak and weary; Pondered o'er his "fractions" party, that more "fractious” still did irrow. And these ominous words he uttered,while he llercely frowned and muttered — In his wrath he slightly stuttered—“I'm 'the party,' I will show! To My Plans they may betake them, for. by heaven, I'll quickly make them—I'm 'the government,' also.” On his door then came a tapping, os of one Impatient rapping. Hupping that came fast and faster, 'till in terror cried the master. "There must be some great disaster,'1 must now my door undo." Unt hts soul within grew stronger, and he quaked with fear no longer. When, behold! naught tint a Cuckoo—little, fluttering, dark-hued Cuckob! Which into the chamber flew. Perching o'er the mantel dial, looking wise, there's no denial. Wise as many a Judge at trial—settled then this curious guest. Curious little dull-hued creature—as resolved to be his guest. When the master's tierce frown lightened, and his eye with courage brightened. Ashe gawd with mlon unfrlghtened-gazisl as on an omen blest— On his little Cuckoo guest. "Bird," he cried, "though homely truly, thou canst serve my purpose duly With my tools lategrown unruly—whose resistance I defy! Ue my carrier, I have spoken. Not one order shall be broken, Of this fact he this the token—to a 'kicker,'

never I

Will hand o’jr a piece of pie." When the bird above the dial—being shrewd there's no denial— Smiling charmed and quite enraptured by this forceful logic new. As through love by It engendered, meek obedlanee duly rendered; Took the crumbs the master tendered, calling sweetly soft, "Cuckoo," All the while with gentle wooing, for continued favor suing— Calling sweetly soft, “Cuckoo!" —Josephine Livingston,Greencastle, Ind., In Indianapolis Journal.

The News Bsily from Greencastle'* Great Center of I.earning. Frank Thomas rode to Danville today on his wheel. II. N. McClain is visiting his patents at Avon, Ind. Mr. Dimmitt led the union association meeting last night. Mrs. Woods, of Williamsport, is the guest of her daughter, Miss Alice. Many of the students celebrated St. Patrick's day by wearing the green. The students of the law school have each taken unto themselves a partner. Ed. Dunn returned this morning after a week’s visit as his home in Spencer. Earl McKee, of Bainbridge, is spending the day with Phi Gam brothers. Mrs. Howe, of Clyde, N. Y., is visiting her son Fred, of the freshman class. The Woman’s club will entertain the Century club this afternoon in ladies' hail. Dr. Duvall is out of the city today on business and his classes were dismissed. Joe Green and Herbert Church were initiated by the Masons at Morton last night. One of Prof. Smyeer's classes in English began yesterday to read their essays on Scott’s novels Hairy Ward, of ’98, has been chosen valedictorian of his class for preparatory commencement. Miss Marion Colburn will join her father and mother at Indianapolis today, to remain over Sun-

day.

Miss Margaret Smith will entertain the Thetas of the senior class at her home in Indianapolis next Monday week. Manager Pratt is getting the boys in shape for track athletics. Six or seven will enter the mile run, four or five will try the pole vault, eight or ten will place the shot and the other contests will be taken part in proportiontely. The annual Pan Hellenic banquet was held last night at the Palace cafe, with over a hundred in attendance. The toasts were good, but the eats were not up to the standard. The following were the set toasts of the evening: “The Midway at DePauw,” E. H. Iglehart;“A Damascus Blade. A. L. Gary; “Our Athletic Field,” C. A. Koyse: “Sleighing, Slaying, Slain,” Tom R. Crowder; "The Philosophy of the Fraternity,” Max Ehrman; “Our Departing Friends,” S. A. Shoemaker; “The Columbian Boulder” A. E. Dickey; “Hard Times.” John Wbitefield Bowers; “Hicks’ Predictions on the Faculty,” L. D. Mathias; “Feasible Suits and Suitable Fees, Ed. C. Hughes. After these toasts Messrs. Dimmitt, Calvert, Whitcomb, Johnson, Sears, Phillips and others were called upon and responded in short afterdinner speeches. It was about two o'clock before the meeting adjourned, when the boys went around to serenade the girls, singing songs and giving the following yell: OPan! O Hell! We yell! We roar! Pan—hell—en—ic ! Ninety-four!

The Valuable Cttisen* The citizen who is of the most value to a community, town or city is not always the man who possesses the most wealth, the highest intelligence or the most aristocratic lineage. Of course the two former will increase a man’s usefulness if he will but exert them in the proper direction. But the valuable citizen par excellence is the man who be lieves thoroughly in his town, its people and its business and profes sional men. He does not make it his business to decry the honesty of his local banker or merchant, or the ability of the resident lawyer or physician. But instead, he is an en.husiastic advocate of all things that pertain to the welfare of his own locality. He has the interest of its schools, churches, societies and people at heart, and exploits their excellence abroad. We need more of this class of citizens, and have the material iu our midst to construct them.

Those Hitts, Those Bids. The Banner Times news man stumbled into a small 8x10 room in the court house this morning in which was closeted Joe Mulholland, F. I). Ader and Commissioners Hart and Farmer. They were literally snowed under by the bids of gravel road work which these democratic times have brought about their devoted heads. There were cords and yards of bids and in reply to the question when the Banner Times could get at the fig ures the reply was “Probably by noon.” In ordinary times these bids are easily settled, but the ordinary combination is a lost art this year. It was “buste'V’ long time ago.

PURE CIDER VINEGAR. Way a of Converting Apple Cider Into Flrat ClanH Vinegar. By pure cider vinegar is meant just what the words imply, cider converted Into vinegar without the addition of water. New York state requires that vinegar shall test jier cent of acetic acid, the acid which gives it its sharpness. Other vinegars, such as what are known as corn vinegar, distiller}' vinegar, white wine vinegar, pickling vinegar, etc., may iiave the requisite amount of acetic acid to satisfy the law, but pure i cider vinegar contains also malic acid, the natural acid of the apple, which gives it a quality possessed by no other vine-

g»r.

To make a good quality of ^inegar the first requisite is a first class quality of cider. One good method suggested by The Rural New Yorker is as follows: To begin with, the casks should be thor- I oughly cleaned and scalded. Afterward boiling vinegar is poured into them, and

they are rolled around occasionally for a ifathrrmam few days to give the vinegar an oppor- J' «' “.A I MtKM AIN, tunity to strike into the wood. Then lHIoIOIAW . ArHJ ■ ourlliijUW,

the barrels or casks are filled about onethird full of strong, pure cider vinegar.

To this a couple of gallons of cider are added, and this is rejamted at intervals of, say, a week or 10 days unfil the cask is two-thirds full, when the whole is left for a couple of weeks, at which time the contents should bo good vinegar. Onehalf of it is drawn off and the process repeated with the remainder. In the summer it is better kept in the sun, but the casks should have the bung holes, which are not stopped, kept covered with cloth to keep out insects. In winter the cider should bo kept at a temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit to be converted into vinegar. Another method of making vinegar is to have a series of casks so arranged that the cider will trickle slowly from one to the other, thus exposing it to the air. The addition of a little winegar as a starter would hasten the process. The important points are a sufficient degree of heat and exposure to the air. It is not necessary to filter the cider, but it should be well racked off or strained, so as to free it from all j>omace and sediment. A Good Wagon Jack. A correspondent of The New England Homestead describes his wagon jack for the benefit of others. It is made of inch lumber or strips. Fig. 1 shows the bed piece, about 2) feet long.

A Cattle Feed Rotation. Wo rotate with rye for spring feeding and corn for fall feeding. We usually begin to use the corn in August, and as soon as we clear a strip we sow rye directly on the stubble and harrow It in with a single Planet cultivator, following with a heavy but well spread coat of coarse horse manure, and so continue till the whole plot is cleaned and seeded. In the spring when the rye is fed off (usually by the 1st of June), we manure, plow and thoroughly cultivate the ground and drill the corn with a grain drill 32 inches apart, but pretty thick in the rows. This never fails to make a heavy growth, and ttiough thick makes quite good sized nubbins, often 6 or 8 inches long. Rye seems to do best on surface cultivated soil. The heaviest crop we evei raised (85 bushels per acre on five acres), was on a pretty rougli hillside of corn stubble, cultivated two ways with a two horse, spring tooth, wheel harrow and drilled in with commercial fertilizers. In the spring the ground was rolled smooth and gave us no trouble at cutting.—W. T. 8., Pa., in Rural New

Yorker.

Roots For Fowls. The poultry man who has secured a supply of small potatoes and other roots, usually obtainable at a small cost in the orchards, is a wise provider. The Rocky Mountain Husbandman says: If poultry breeders and fanciers would believe how valuable and succulent a provision for chicken stock rutabagas, beets, potato** and carrots are when cooked, either boiled or steamed, and mixed with the rye and cornmeal given the birds, this excellent style of root feeding would be
