It may he safely' predicted tliat the silx'er issue is going to make more trouble for the democrats than any other question in the politics of the period.

The passage of the Wilson bill is a foregone conclusion, but that will not deter the republicans from fighting it in such a way as to familiarize the country with all of its numerous wicked and destructive features. There are noeditorial utterances in the democratic journals of Greeucastle concerning Mr. Cleveland’s vetoing of the Bland silver bill; in fact, it seems these papers decline to tell their readers anything on the subject at all, either news or editorial. Gentlemen, you are neglecting your readers, and as are suit they will all have to read the views ot Mr. Cleveland’s act in the republican Banner Times. We know it is an awful big task to keep run of your party and its leaders these troublesome times, hut you should do it or give up the gun. Mr. Cleveland has vetoed the Bland bill, brother democrats. The republicans of the Fox Ridge district was called to order by G.B. Parker and J. R. McGrow was chosen chairman. The following delegates xverr chosen: Albert Albaugh, Perry Miller, Albert Browning, Nathan,Chapman, G. B. Parker; alternates, Frank Peck, W. S. Browning, John Crawley, Joe Johnson, Thos. Dayenport. Before closing Thos. Moore gave the republicans a rousing good speech. G. B. Parker, Committeeman. A Item. An interesting program was rendered at the last meeting of the Woman’s club. Papers were read on Whittier as a poet and reformer by Miss Martha J. Rid path and Mrs. Caroline S. Hammond. The poet’s interpretation of sacred story —Whittier’sEzekieland Browning’s Soul—were ably reviewed by Mrs. Mary II. Birch and Mrs. Mary Situs Allen.

Not even had a scent.

Ho never even muttered once

Till he betran to talk.

And when he left the kitchen door He took the garden walk. "He said: ’There's no one with me.

Because I am alone.

I iniirht have scintillated once— My clothes tmvr always shone. 1 got here 'fore the other ones

Because I started first

The reason l look shabbily Is ’cause I’m dressed the worst.’ "Then I asked him where he came from. This was Just before we parted. And he muttered Indistinctly: ■oh, I came from where 1 startl'd.’ " Then the weary Higgins warmed his feet and left with the remark : “Well, cully, ’f I ever meet yer on de hog I'll steer ver outer a good

lay. So ’long.”

ver Leaf backers were loud in their applause. The judges were T. C. Grooms, II. M. Smith and Henry Werneke. It was the opinion that Brazil excelled in individual work, their solo cornetist and baratone (the latter white) being very good. They played also a little more diflicult music than the home boys. Their harmony and ensemble work xvas not so gooil as the Greencastle boys, and the ages of the bands were taken into consideration, the Brazil hoys having had the advantage of several years’ more drill and experience than Greencastle. The Brazil band in its middle part, altos and tenors, is especially weakThe best of feeling prevailed, and the contest went off without any trouble, the Brazil boys were royally entertained, their expenses all paid, and the home boys came out clear on the entertainment. A trip to Brazil will probably be made in

the near future.

To the leadership of Mr. W. H. Sherwood, in a great measure, is due the success of the Silver Leaf band. He took them in hand when they were green recruits, tlicir instruments all from different quarters of the continent, and out of tune generally, By hard work he got them into shape, placed the instruments into tune, drilled the hoys dilligently, and last night there was determination on every face to do good work. The success is deserved, and the boys are encouraged to still better efforts. As an organizer Mr. Sherwood is a

great success.

The following is a full list of the Greencastle band boys xvho were in at the slaughter of their Brazil brethren last evening; Cornets, Dan Pittman, Boh Robinson, Will Herring, Sam Halbert, (has. Woods; clarionet, Win. Bridges altos, Mark McGruder, Eunice Miles, Ben Hayden, Harve Moore; tenor, Woods; slide trombones, Ed.

Items from Our Colored Erie,ids. John Hayden, the gentlemanly obfuscated porter of the “World’s Fair,” xvas in the heyday of his early youth last evening. John was strictly in the upper notch of colored society, and enjoyed the music, side issues and social events of the colored function to the fullest Though not a musician, Col. Hayden gathered luster and glory last evening by his Chesterfieldian manners and his Apollo-like carriage. There is much genuine happiness among our people today over the result of last evening’s contest. The Brazil boys say they xvill get even and will return the Greencastle boys’ hospitality in the near future. They then want to play off the rub at some city away from either band's home, Terre Haute

being suggested.

The points considered by the judges in the band contest last night were tone, execution, harmony, counterpoint, action, pitch of instruments, age of bands and grade of music performed. It has been hinted that the home boys, now being a wiuner in the band contest, should change their name to Gold Leaf, since Cleveland vetoed the Bland bill. The home boys will clear about $30 on last night’s contest.

13th are reactionary days, on and touching which look for change to warm, with many disturbances centering about those dates. Keep watch for cold wave and frost to the north as the area of warmth and storms moves east of your see

tion.

From the 17th to the 21st another series of marked disturbances will develop and cross the country from xvest to east. Storms are apt to be at their crisis, in the central regions, especially, about HHh, 20th and 21st, each day having for their center of action a section of the continent further and further toward the Atlantic. This, we must insist that the reader remember, exacts that three separate conditions exist in as many sections at the same time during a storm period. Fair weather, growing warmer, and easterly winds shifting to the south, in eastern section; the area of clouds, precipitation and storms in the middle section; and cool clearing weather, with westerly and northerly winds in the western section. The actual storm area may not cover any particular part more than a few hours or a day, and whether or not it has passed east of your region, you may readily determine by understanding the conditions that go before and that follow after the storms. Nothing helps in this all-important matter more than the intelligent use of a reliable barometer. Aboutthe 24th and 2.')th very threatening local clouds and storms will appear in many places, after which the wind currents and warmth will change to westerly and cooler. April will end in the midst of a regular storm period, the 29th being the central day. The Mercury equinox is May 3d, and will tend to carry the last April storms forward out of their normal time limits. We think the last half of April will be much more propitious for all agricultural

bine grass and brush it in. If white clover is abundant in the neighborhood, we would add a pound to the acre, and if not abundant txvo pounds, sowing it with the timothy rather than with the red and mammoth clovers. We do not know that we would add anything for Illinois, but if it were farther south we would add orchard grass at the rate of seven pounds or half a bushel to the acre, and if in the latitude of northern Wisconsin or northern Minnnesota we would add red top. If any portion of the land was wet, we would add two

pounds of alsike to the acre.

The clovers and timothy, if a good stand is secured, will give the cattle a good deal of pasture the first year, provided they ate not pastured too close. The red and white clovers will reseed the ground and in this way can be kept in the pasture for several years. By this time the blue grass and timothy will have obtained a good hold, and a first class pasture can. xvith proper care, be expected for an indefinite period of time.

Combination Hoe and Handle. A short time ago a Missouri farmer gave an illustrated description of a combination detachable hoe and handle for use in the garden, which he had found very satisfactory. Here is hia description as related in American Gardening: The handle, shown at Figs. 1 and 2, is of wood like the ordinary hoe handle, bnt the ferrule at the business end is square and of steel tempered hard with a threaded hole running through the solid end (mine was 3 inches solid) for a threaded steel screw bolt. The hoe blades have a round hole for the insertion of the screw bolt and a plate of steel with a square hole riveted firmly to the blade. The square end of the fer-
