for

a stranger to our history,

listening to the-arguments from a Democratic view, would conclude that the country had always been peaceful, united and prosperous under Democratic rule

From the perilous depths of treason, imbecility, and dishonor the Republican party has, through twenty years of incessant struggle with the poisonous spirit of the Democratic party, brought the country to its present, condition.

Contrast the grandeur, greatness, and glorv of the Republic of 1880 with its im potency, shame and dishonor of 1800, and you will to fioine extent measure the claims and merits of the two parties.

The Republican party raised the dollar from 110 below par, lo Wl above par. for at one time a gold dollar was worth '040 itt greenbacks, the lawful and legal tender of the country, and to-day the 4 per cenj. bonds are worth 10ft. Therefore the verdict of the country and the flnan cinl world must 1m that the Republican party h:is advanced the nations credit more than 1H) per cent. On account of Democratic misrule the Republican party was compelled, and in order to save the life of the nation raised and expended $:,QO),000.000. The demoralization and husinAss disturbances of a great war were superadded to the crushing taxation necessary to carry it on, and yet all these have been bravely overcome. Already 'three-fifths of the war expenditures have Wen paid, the Republic redeemed from disunion, ,and placed financially and politically in the front rank of the nfltiot)^ i^Jlje car*!*- tit

law, and fail,to be legisftered. if there ever was a law that did not work an injustice on a few individuals/but w^ ttiink tlpse yboV^mild'be aosent at work or on business, would !e very few. It is probably true that there would be a few Democrate who would be ignorant of 0e law and thus neglect to register, and consequently lose Uitir votes but-wepromise that ifttie constitution of the State of Indiana. isamende# as the Republican party propose to amend it, that every Republican within the border of our State will know all aboutit,' and if a few benighted Democrats df n^i. hear of the constitutional amendment*, it will be their own faults.

We are free to confess that our Democratic brethren are. slow to learn or conceive of anything that possesses as much merit as the first proposedamendment but if we could an»end it in such a manner as to give them a chance to ring in a few good Democratic votes from Saline City, Clay county, for the weak wards*iu our city, they,,,could readily comprehen it and see that each man in their |M«ty

whs

not "ignorant of thedaw.fi And in the editoriaTcolumn'iyf tTPr*lndianapolis Sentinel we have tlie following famous argument "A man found guilty of murder,.rap% arson or highway robbery can vote, and, if amendment No. 1 should be adopted a citizen found guilty of not. registering, can't vote. If he is found guilty of not living in st certain to„\vn!?hip sixty days, the penalty is disfranchisement. If bo has not lived in his precinct thirty days lie will have to stand aside on election dayi So far as "votiiig""Ts"c6ncmii?dri»e takes his place l)csides the men found guilt)' OT the worst crimes known to the criminal code, and men of Indiana are asked to so degrade themselves next Monday."

According to the nrgunient of the Sentinel all of our foreign friends who have not resided in the United States one year, so far as voting is oonoemodr~Utke their place beside the men found guilty of the Worst crimes known to the criminal code. And on th^roe theoo' every new resident of the state or county who has wot resided within the borders of our state long enough to give them the rights of citizenship, is to be classed along with criminals.

Such argument may do for a democratic paper—and may be very plausible democratic doctrine-but we trust that it will find no lodgement Ait then muul oi any reasonable man. According to their own doctrine and their line of argument, all foreigners before they have taken out their naturalization papers, and become entitled to the rights of American citizens, all women and children, and all the colored population of the United States before the 14th amendment to the Constitution were nothing more than ft band of criminals "so far as voting is concerned."

Who will say that it is degrading to be compelled to reside In your precinct 30 days before being allowed to vote? On the contrary, who would not say that it is degrading to le a bona tide resilient of a voting precinct for yenTr, then on election day some tramp from an ttdjMnfng village and another township steps up to the polls and enjoys the same privilege you enjoy? The strong Democratic Opposition to the amendments is prima facia evidence of fraudulent intent.

VOTE FOE THE AMEWDKENTS.'f We hear some persons object to the amendments for the general reason ^mt they are opposed a ch:)^g e. They, say the phi is well jpiough4 xt$ dou't want anything new.

Many of the fair sex, uj)Oii entering^ 4 car aim finding all the seats occupied, expect some gentleman to resign his seat in their favor and remain standing the remainder of th6 journey, or until some one leaves the car, and now-a-days it is considered very rude to aUo.v ,q. lady to go the whole length of the car without some one offering her a seat. Now, we seem to think dilTerently, and with all due respect to the ladies, and hoping they will not consider us ungullant or aa mortals not possessing sunic ient arnativeness to aumire, as we undoubtedly do, the sex they adorn, \vc will present our views on the subject.

We are of tlie opinion that, generally speaking, a young lady is as able to undergo the standing'as-a gentleman, and many of them more so, in a physical sense. It is often the case that when a man returning from his office or shop after the tiresome duties of the day, takes a car to obtain a little rest, the car gradually becomes full, and before it na8iravetea many squares, a twiio of society, or some other female enters custom makes it his duty to rise and stand. We think this unjust it may be that this man has been up since six o'clock in the morning and been toiling hard the entire day, while on the other hand, the female to whom he gives his seat has slept in bed unlil nine or ten in the morping, and eyen after she arises .1 t.-'i .^1.^1 a,., 4 It tIt r\ll MS

The corn crib stands some rods from the barn or hogpen, where the grain is fed out. The sheep barn ia-not n»r Uio cattlo barn the pig-pen is off by itself, and the chick-Vn-coop is set in another place. The corn-stalks are loaded and stacked where they must again be loaded before feeding. Ihe corn isljti-ri|l by hand, a bushel at MlimetU a baskif-1

fsai end tlines a day for months of each year. The corn is shelled, if shelled at nil, by a hand sheller. In some cases the straw and sUdksiWo cut by maehiuory ill adapted fot tlie work. The arrangement requires too much hard lal)or. Roots are dug, drawn and burmod in the field again drawn to tho "•barn, handled, cut, handled again to mix ^'ith atraw, and then carried by hand to f6ed to auiwiftls, some of which are six or ten rods distant. Into several isolated atables the basket is lifted, over a sill two feet high, and then carried past animals to each stall. Manure is thrown out daily through numerous small openings, high up back of each stall, or it is loaded on wheelbarrows, or shoveled or thrown for some distaace out tho main door. From the time of culling to feeding, more thought should bo given to tho saving of labor. Moro study should bodovoted to arranging everything for convenience. Hay, straw and cram lttovo easily wheu moved but

Is there not some Way to save handling, once or twice out of six or eight times, all the hay and graiti and coarse fodder of the farm, and yet not neglect the health and comfort of the animals?

Some farmers we know, with two men, take better care of a certain number of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, than others who employ four or six men for the same number of animals. Each set of men is equally faithful. In one case, things are handy in tho other they Aio

tJomc have tried and lilio tho

plan of hauling manure, as it accumulates, directly from the stalls to the field. Some others are equally neat and successful with cow-stables from which tho manure is removed but once in a year, those who have tried it, say the cows keep cleaner, with less bedding, than when the bedding is daily removed. There is much less offensive smell about the premises. The mangers are made to lilt up as the litter accumulates, Probably most readers will condemn this plan without trying it. but the fact remains that some who have tried it will never return to the old wayof removing tlie"manure every day.

Iiow many gates or doors are out of order or inconveniently arranged? I low many steps are, several times a day. wasted for want of proper thought and management? Instead ofmakingeverything according to some plan, a little at a time is adde.d. A shed is placed here, another there, an addition in hitched on in a place not snited for it, etc.

Marianne, the engineer's lovely daughter, wits carried with the debris, and ascended with frightful velocity in the direction of the clouds.

As she

Seizing a flying machine, uiion which he bad just obUuned a patent that morning, he strapped it to his broad, manly back, and, spreading the wings of the machine, vowed he would rescue he girl of his hefcrt or die. On he flew in the direction hie loved one had taken. He reached her just as her red head had plunged through acloud. It was but the work of a moment to clasp her to his toftom.
