AUTUMNAL FARM TOPICS.

MATTER FOR FIELD, STOCK AND HOME Fertilisers -IIow to Car nef Seed Cor Does Small Fruit Fay'-Packlng Apple Clearing Woodlands Farm NetiHoiii Hinte. Although commercial fertilizers can be made to supply the elements that are wanting in the noil, the use of barnyard manure that has l?en thoroughly fermented and well rotted will supply all that may be required by plants ; but the point in selecting fertilizers is to procure those that assist to make the barnyard manure more complete. The farmer can Judge of the quality of his manure to a certain extent by comparing its quality with that of tho food from which it is produced. Rich food makes rich mannre.and yet if the food is rich in nitrogen and deficient in the phosphates, it is only rich so far as its use is to be applied to certain kinds of crops, as some crops prefer manure rich in nitrogen, others desire potash, while others thrive best on manure abounding in the phosphates. Bv carefully selecting the fertilizers that will "balance" the manure, the farmer will save tho expense of procuring substances of which he is not in need.

How to Cure Hung; Tleef. The Hon. Cassias M. Clay of Kentucky now as noted a farmer and stockman as ', be was a politician forty years ago thus tells whereof he knows on this subject: A good fat beefs rounds ßhould be cut into pieces parallel with the bone, weighing from four to b'ix pounds, according to the size of the hind quarter. These pieces v should be salted by a judicious expert, just os much as would' be used in cooking the same. They should then be strung with an ordinary meat needle and twine and hune; up in the smoke-house or any dry outhouse or attic These pieces,dried in cold weather, when there are no flics, are ' cut into thin slices and broiled on the cross-bars over live charcoals. Few dishes equal it. Each of the many ways of curing beet by brine and condiments is an illustrious example) of "the way not to do it." The method here set forth saves the whole flavor of the meat in the correct way. with none of the juices lost which may also be eaten raw when well dried.

1'acklng Applet. "Ilandle apples as you would handle eggs" is good advice. Old flour barrels unless carefully washed and dried, will impart a musty flavor to the fruit before midwinter, especially if the air in the cellar is moist. The first apples put in market barrels should bo faced. The facing consists in placing two or three layers on the lower head with stems down, that is, with stem3 pointing toward the head, Clean, bright apples of ordinary size s hould Le selected for this purpose. The Test of the apples may 1 poured into the barrel. Use a basket with a swinging handle, one that can be lowered in the barrel anl turned while there, and hold the apples back with fco hand, so that they will not pour out too rapidly. Face the upper head in the same manner as the lower one. Cover with boards and let the larrel stand open four or five days. ' Seed Corn. In the selection of peed corn, gather from the bent part of the crop and always from sinding corn. Choose from stalks that I"-ar two or more ears and take only the pmofd. ear, provided it is well filled to . !io point with regular grains. Care must : taken to reject any which-may have i '. n soaked or sprouted at the lower end i late rain. Select enough to allow ight bushels to the acre for the intended crop, makinsr due allowance for tops and butts. In a room which is perfectly dry, B?r tcli wires from side to side near the coiling. Take a ball of twino and cut in pieces two feet long, making a loop at both nds of each one. Place an ear in each loop and throw over the wire. If convenient have a stove in the room and heat occasionally if the weather is extremely damp. 5loUture in tho cob and vermin are its chief enemies, and this plan effectually prevents both. Dow to Clear Wood Land. American CuUIrstor. It is not enough to go into the woods with an ax to clear woodland as it should be. Long atro the practice of burning and logging ceased, and since then forests have only been thinned by the annual removal of wood as it was needed. The disadvantage of this was that the best was always fctken, leaving only the less valuable kinds rf t'lMilx-r. Thus the value of tho wood r t constantly decreased until in many plares it consists only of scrubby and grnarlotl trees not worth the cost of working up. The far better way is to make an entire clearing each year, and then either replant with valuable timber or use the cleared land ior e ther purposes. In this way much more valuable wood can be . grown on a smaller area than now. Doe Small Fruit Pay? Under this heading JIr. T. B. Terrr States that the venerable J. 51. Smith of Green Bay, Wis., a most thorough cultivator and horticulturist, sold 2,215.24 worth of terries from three and one-half acres of land lat year, besides taking .300 worth of plants from the same land in the spring, but this is not enough, adds Mr. T., for, after the berries were picked he plowed the patch and put in cabbage and celery ?700 more! The figures were taken right from his book, where each day's sales were put down, so there isn't a question about their exact truth. Farn Note. A slight application of sturpeon oil on the fl aaks. neck and tender parti of the body will partially prevent horses from being attacked by insects. Wood ashea are the bent remedy for pear trees that bear cracked frnit. First stir the toil aronnd the trees and scatter the ashes over the iurface. To save seed corn select the ripest, heaviest, earliest ear, and from the strongest and most prolific stalks. In this manner the corn can be - improved each year, and at very little expense and care. To produce lar?e grapes, or any other fruit, the surplus should be thinned out. In the fall use a liberal application of we'l-rotted manure an J in the spring apply a he a and superphoe- . phate. The cow that gives a yield of milk and bntter ftlove the average, for the whole period when she is in m:iü, is more Talutible than one yieldin? largely at fint and diminishing afterward. It is of no advantage for an animal to b a animal should consume as much food aj He, and always have a great appetite. A prominent bee-keeper employs 150 as posst prominent bee-keeper employs loO hands about his bee establishment, whiles firm makes 70,ou) pounds of artificial comb foundation for aale to bee-keepers. f "arenil experiments show that the evening 'rr.fTic contains more solids th.in thst drawn in mummy, due perhaps to a srreater variety it food heing allowed during the day. It is ' laiine l that on an average the food cf com 'ii'.nhi riM 'Z'A per cent, in nry loo'i f her1 otvn weight, but this depends i .iy conditions. A small cow will someit a larger quantity and produce more !.r;rer one. v weather prediction has been diseov a French scientist. He observes that UiUations of nars increase before manr indicating disturbance of the upper atvre hours before the meteorological in.U show any change. The fiercer the re more is the strength of the scintillareased. Vrow trees of different kinds together

üed one does not injure the other.

as is frequently the case when plums are crown

near peaches, thus Inducing the curculio to sometimes attack the latter. A single wild cherry tree near an apple orchard will provide a harboring rdace for caterpillars, which finally injure the apple orchard. Uien sheds at this season are preferable to stable. Ther should be drr. and no draughts of air should Äow through them. Jf yards are attached the cows can enjoy themselves in the sun during the day, if they are not allowed on the pasture. 1 he rows 6hould not be confined too closely to the svall of the stable until cold weather. Strawberry rust Is shown by ipoU on the leaves. It U not yet decided it it is a disease due to fungus. The remedy tried with the best success is to mow ths Tines and weeds as soon as tha crop is picked, and burn them. Mulch thatmiirbt he applied late this fall should be shaken up in the spring and the mulch and bed burned over. Pastures should be rrazed down, and no tall fCrass or weeds should remain. Jot only is it injurious to allow the weeds and grass to remain, but stock will be inconvenienced in wet seasons unless the frost couie early. Dry pastures should be preferred in rainy weather. Tall grass is very injurious to sheep, getting them wet and causam distemper. The Bordeaux mixture, whieh Is now re ceiving attention as one of the remedies for grape rot, is made by dissolving eight pounds of sulphate of copper in fifteen callons of water which has been raised to the boiling f'oint. In another vessel sluice ten pounds of ime with five trallons of water. When cool pour the lime water in tho copper solution. stirring the mixture briskly while so doing. The value of the food is not in the available material contained therein for the production of meat or millc only, but also in the amount and quality of the manure derived therefrom. It has been estimated that one-third of the food eaten toes into the manure. As the manure. then, is simply the food stored away for further use, it is important that in order to derive the greatest benefit from the food manure should be carefully mauazed to prevent loss. As the ioou is not exposeu 10 injury Dy air ami water the manure is equally deserving of care. The manure heap is the savings bank of the farm. The Holstein cow "Shadelaud Boon." from June 6 to July 6 (thirty-oae days) produced 125 pound and twelve ounces of unsalted butter, or over four pounds per day. It required about fourteen pounds of milk (about seven quarts) to each pound of butter. During seven days of the time he produced a fraction less than thirty-two pounds of butter, and gave pounds ot milk, r or two days she lacked only two ounces of producing five pounds of butter per day, which was 14.13 pounds of milk for each pound of butter. Household Hints.

The following estimate ot the corn crop of the United States for 18S3 will appear in the Farmer Review. As the increase in the corn crop of 1SSS over that of 18-S7willbe produced almost entirely io the seven great corn states, viz.: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, we have compiled a careful estimate of the crop in those states oa the average yield per acre as reported by correspondents and the area planted a estimated in the July report of tho department of agriculture: Ohio Acren k a,97l,:ila; average yield, 41 biuhuls; total, S01,Gi,W- buidHs.

Assuming that the other states will be eqnal to that rejortd for last year by the department, viz., 07J,73tVxX bushel, we estimate the total corn crop of IK&J as 2,11 0,920, &'3 bushels. Harrison's Willy Comparison. In one of his recent speeches Ben Harrison said: If a business man finds an accumulated surplus that he docs not need in his business, that stand as a bank balauce and draws no interest, and he has obligations outstanding to mature in the future, he will make a ready choice between leaving his balauce in the buuk and using it to make up his obligations. The New York TiiM4 comments: But if the business man finds his obligations in the hands of men who charge him '.io per cent, for the privilege of "takin' them up" he will be a very stupid man, indeed, if he cannot make better use of his money. Moreover, this comparison is wholly misleading. The money of a business man belongs to himself; the money in the treasury belong to the taxpayers. It is the duty ofthe government to use it to abate taxation, it that be poibIe, aud it is possible. Any statesman wbo h;vl not the jerverPvl notion that taxation is a blessing would see this.

CRUSHED BY SUGAR TRUSTS. A BITTER OUTCRY FROM LABOR. Seven Hundred Unfortunate Workmen Discharged, and Now Will Iii nine Dar Kepeat Ills Opinion of Trusts In Indiana? Pf. Y. nerald.J When President Cleveland delivered his message he had something to say to the American people about the danger of trusts. I think there have since been no democratic papers, whether they understood the meaning of the word or not, that have not been constantly warning the people as to the horrible danger of trusts. (.Laughter. Tribune Report of Mr. lilaine't Speech. Little did the leader of the republican party think, as be stood before his followers aud fiercely defended trusts, how soon the mask would be torn from his faco and 700 workmen turned out into the streets by the sugar trust to face a winter of starvation and misery. There stand the 700 shivering men on the sidewalks of Williamsburg, helpless ylctimsof greed and monopoly, whose hearthstones have been darkened and made desolate simply because the sugar trust has decided to lessen the supply of sugar for the Unitod States in order that the price may be kept up. The profound pathos of the situation can only be understood by those who know the awful sufferings of these men and their wives and children when the sugar trust ordered the same refineries closed last year the bitter, black misery, the months of beggary and degradation. And there is not a member of the trust who has insolence enough to ei plain how it is that this vast amount of wealth and power, which can say just how much sugar shall be manufactured in the country and just what each man, woman and child shall pay for it, has been steadily increasing the prices, at the same time ordering the refineries closed and taking the bread out of the nouths of the poor. The sugar kings will not be seen. Their guilt is too plain to be covered. Even Mr. Dlaine could not help them, for the blood of the people is stirred by tnis last merciless and despotic act that consigns hundreds of men, women and chilJren to a winter of suffering as a single item in the scientific, plan by which the trust will make the people pay whatever it decides for sugar, without any regard to the laws of supply and demand. This order of the sugar trust, which has closed De Castro & Donner's two refineries, is the most startling disclosure of the power and infamous purposes of trusts that has yet occurred in the United States. In this act the great conspiracies, which Mr. Dlaine declared were largely private aflhirs and not to be interfered with, stand naked to the eyes of the workingmeu of America. What a spectacle! Five or six enmillioned men decide that only so many pounds of sugar shall be made in the United -States this w inter. They decide that the price of each pound shall be higher than before. They also decide that so many refineries shall be dosed SO that sugar fehall not be plenty enough to be cheap. The seven hundred men in Williamsburg, with their hungry broods about their knees, think that there sloul I be laws made to protect their homes. Poor, thick skulls! Mr. lUaine, who is a scholar anda statesman, says that trusts are private ailai'rs, and great audiences have roared at the fine humor with w hich he has sneered at the simpletons who thought there was danger to the workingraan in these mighty combinations. Mr. Llaine knows ail about millionaires. He rides with them on coaching tours. They get up royal banquets in his honor. Millionaires injure workingmen? What nonsense! Trusts crush out the lives and hopes of the poor? All false! Not a word of truth in it. Trusts ore private afl'airs, and "neither President Cleveland nor auy private oitizen baa any particular right to interfere." Carlysle tells how Louis rode ont near his Ealace one day, and, seeing men carrying a cofn, asked what the dead man died of. "Starvation, sire," replied a peasant, "The king spurred his horse;" adds Carlysle. And if Mr. I'.'.aine should happen to pass the seven hundred desperate men standing idle in the cold streets of Williamsburg and ask what was the cause of their misery, and they should answer "trusts," what would Mr. Blaine do? Would ho dare to look those honest fellows in the face and say that trusts were private affairs and should not be interfered with? The JleraU reporter, who went among the discharged workingmen in Williamsburg yesterday, found bitter indignation agbinst the sugar trust. There was a rumor that the trust intended to close the Ilaveintyer refineries, too, in order to further limit the sugar supply, but this was denied. One workman, who has a sick child at home, stood at the closed gate of the S. Ninth-st., refinery and bewailed the hardship of his lot. "1 don't know how we can live through the winter." he said, as he stuck his hands in his pockets to keep them warm. "We thought thit the trust would let us work this winter, we suffered so much last year." "But the tru.xt says if has done this often before, and there is nothing new in it," suggested the reporter. "My God, sir?" said the old man, "is that any reason why these millionaires should take the bread out of our mouths, because they have trampled on us before. Ioesn't it show that it is time to make laws to prevent it from being dono apun? Tho cloning of these two refineries shuts oil' the sugar supply 3,X)0 barrels a day. 1 am paying nine cents a pound for sugar and two months airo I only paid seven. The trust has nut the price up. I can't see why they do it. If there is too much sugar being rehncd the price should be goin down instead of gointf np. If there isn't too much sugar why docs the trust clo.so the refineries? What is their explanation?" "They don't explain." "They should le made to explain. They should be controlled by law." "But doesn't Mr. Blaine say that they are private aiTairs?" "Oh.d n Mr. Blaine!" This profanity drove tho reporter away. In fact, the disrespect shown for the truths exfiounded and defended by the republican eader was shocking. There is probably no

place In the country where the correct principles of political economy as taught by this great lriend of the laborer are more misunderstood than in the wretched and darkened homes of

the seven hundred men cait adrift by order of the sugar trust "It makes me almost feel like an anarchist," said a workman who was discharged ou Monday. "The trust has the cheek to say that the closing of the refineries is dne simply to the law of supply and demand. Why, they have kept seveu refineries closed in the busiest part of the year. That exposes the fraud. I tell you this thing should be made criminal. A man m ho is responsible for such heartless and daring robbery has no right to be outside of prison walls. The government must protect its citizens. When the law doesn't protect me I won't obey it. This is a great conspiracy and it has us by the throats. It throws me out of work snd nt the same time tells me that I must pay more for my food." It would have made Mr. Blaine lose his patience to hear how recklessly this ignorant man talked about private affairs that no one has any right to interfere with. The sugar trust people being so few in number and so mighty in pocket have learned to keep their business afiairs to themselves. Of course, there is reason -good reason for this. For if the people could find out ihe real state of affairs to its own satisfaction the trust and its kindred monopolistic concerns would be overwhelmed by the public wrath. For instance, the seven hundred discharged men of Decasiro & Donner'a refinery might ask how it is that their sugar masters could not give them work for the winter. But, says somebody, "they could not alford to make sugar during the winter months. " They have enough stored, and with what will be made in some of the permaueut refineries they will get through the wiuter without losing much." It would be a shnmeiul thing, indeed, for the trust to lose anything! Their profit is not l.Tge. From the Xew York refineries alone It is only f 150,000 a day. And this is how it is figured: For the pnst four months the trust has been making 5,000 barrels a day. On each barrel there is a net profit at the present market of d. At that rate for a year of 3t3 davs the net profit from the New York refineries alone (with the New Orleans and Bottoa bouses to hear from) would be &4,7ÖÜ,0U.

He Defeats the Kill to Pension the Widow of Col. Scott. Washington Special to Comuie rc!:d-Gaetfe. A short time since Mr. Cheadle of Indiana, vnth the aid of Mr. Kilgoreof Texas, succeeded in defeating the bill pensioning Mrs. Sheridan. Last night he defeated the bill giving the widow of Col. Kobert N. Scott, late in charge of the war records office, $."0 pension. This bill was presented to the house by Gen. Wheeler, the distinguished Confederate cavalry commander. It had received the unanimous approval of both sides in the senate, and of both republicans and democrats in .hi house committee. The report was so strong, and the case shown by it so deserving, that even Mr. Kilgore could not object. The record show exactly what took place. Mr. Wheeler "I now ask unanimous consent to take up tho bill to increase the pension of Mrs. Elizabeth 15. .Scott." Mr. Cheadle "It will save time to announce now that I will antagonize that bill." Mr. Wheeler "Mrs. Scott is a lady" Mr. Cheadle "I wish to give notice to you and to members present iu thU home that another bill shall not pass in violation of the rulings of law if I am present, unless there be a quorum. I have stated that so many times that it does seem strange gentlemen should compel me to state it again and again, w hen I have so often set forth my rcusons for objecting." Mr. Wheeler "The gentleman objects sometimes and sometimes he does not ohjf'et." Mr. Cheadle "If I ever call up a bill that violates the rulings of tha law, I hope gentlemen will vote it down. I would rather resign my 6eut than a:.k the house to pass a bill which was iu violation of the rulings of the law." The report shows clearly by the evidence of the surgeon general's oiliee and the attending physicians that Col. iScott killed himself by close and unremitting attention to the work of compiling the war records. The calls of soldiers everywhere for Lurrying the work forward were so great that he gave himself no rest, lie worked day und night and Nundavs. lie took but one vacation in nine years. IIa completed the examination, of the immense mass of war material, and made all the selections for the volumes yet to be printed. The great work undermined bis heauh, and within a tew months of completing these selections he died. lie left a wife uud corndderahlu family, for whom he had taken no time from his unceasing work to make provision. All sides, republicans and democrats. Uniou and Confederate, alike joined in the support of the bill, because of the invaluable services which through so many j-f-ars be had rendered all the soldiers of the land. This was counted for him as additional to and quite equal to his distinguished services in the field. But Mr. Cheadle, who can be moved by no argument or sentiment from the cranky position he has taken, stood out last night against both houxes and preveuted a simple act of justice to the widow of a soldier whose claims ure wholly exceptional. Mr. Cheadle is always talking about the "violations of the rulings of law." No one knows w hat be means, and he has never been able to make the house understand what he has in his alleged mind, republicans try to excuse his eccentricities upon the ground that he is not responsible. He is much worse than of no use to the house of representatives and to his district, lie is a continuing nuisance to the first and a discredit to the second. ' How near can yon come to giuMinq Cleveland and Thurman' plurality in InJianat Arkansas Oratory. fnxtracl.l The old Ilonian is a man from away up where the creek forks the last time, lie will snap onto the canvas like a dog onto a rabbit skin, and he'll fight 'em like a wildcat in a tin oven. When Thurman gets up and cracks his heels together and goes at it red-eyed, they'll find he's a bumper from Humper junction, and that he'll sweep the country from Maine to sundown.

UXCLE SAM'S PUBLIC LAXD

MILLIONS Or ACREy ARE RESTORED. Commissioner Stncks1a?er Reports That Iurlng Clerelnnd's A dminlxt ration SO,000,000 Acres Have Ileen Recovered From the L.nnd Thieves. Washing TO, Oct, 7. S. M. Stockslager, commissioner of the general land oCice, has submitted to the secretary of the interior, his report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1SS. The figures show the amount of lands covered by new entries during the year, and the gross casJt receipts have already been made public. The report shows that during the year 8,&X,194 acres of land have been conveyed from the government either by patent, or by certification under specLic grants. A detailed tabular statement shows the number of patents of euch class issued by t fates and territories from which it appears that 47,b0 patents have been issued during the year. Dakota received the largest number 16.CS1, and Kansas next 8,74 4. This statement does uot include mineral patents, of which 1,0.11 were issued. Lands were patented or certiiied to railroad companies to the amouut of 82!,1C2 acres in the 6tates of Arkansas, Iowa, Wisconsin aud Minnesota, Lands were certiiied to the several stotc3 under the swamp grant to the amount of 9,619 acres end under school selection 0'J,2Uj acres. After showing in detail the conveynnce of title to the public lands, the commissioner calls attention to the accumulation of work in his office undisposed of. July 1 there were pending and unpatented 23S,1. final entries, and 3-"0,D."3 original entries awaiimg final proof. The number of original entries made during the yenr was 7;l,8"l, and linr.1 proof was made on 70,403. Jtailroa 1 selections aggregating 25,42?,Sod aeres, swamp selections to the amount of 7S1,S.jO, snd educational and internal improvements selections aggregating 1,0,000 acres, were aUo pending. The stateme nt of lands restored to the public domaiu during thNa lministr.ition is brought down to the close of the fiscal year, aud shows a total of 8.1,1. S,!ll) acres restored, aud .k,(iC0,2Z3 acres recommended for restoration. Surveys of 2,912,12 acres were accepted, after a careful examination in the field by the Agents of the land office. It is stated that it is Impossible to obtain bids for the survey of lands at cstablisned rates, and na increase of rates is urged. Urgent reco.nmendiitiou is also made for aa appropriation of fc.JUO.tW) to carry on the work of surveying the public domain. The commissioner discusses, at some length, the necessity for extending the public surveys. It is stated that the "surveyor-geueral" scrip has insued on claims in iouisi uia to the amount of 32,038 acres. These are claims for indemnity by reason of failure in obtaining title to the full amount of the original eranta. Au mendtiipnt of the act of 1 S-SS, which provides for the issuing of thi.s scrip, is recommended, so as to provide for the payment of $1.23 in money for each acre of the original grant, which ia lost to the grantee or his heirs or assignees, inctead of issuing certificates entitling- the claimaut to "locate" an equivalent amount of land elsewhere. That part devoted to railroads is largely taken up iu showing the condition of work of adjustment under tin act of March 3, 17. The decision of SSee'y Vilns, in the Guilford Miller case, is referred to, and it is stated that there are 2,000 similar cases pending in the land office nnd that lands in the indemnity limits of the Northern Pacific, the Atlantic & Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the California & Oregon and the Oregon it California roads, to the extent of 17.N.',0t) acres are atlected by said decision. The report says that of the g.i.-lgt.StW acres of land covered by selections pending at the close of the fiscal year, 21,6o'J,S4tJ acres were selected by railroad companies, whose roads were uot completed in the lim required by their respective grants. The forfeiture of all lands co-terminal with those parti of the respective ronds which were uncompleted rt the expiration of the time limited for their construction is recommended. The time of the agents employed to Investigate the fraudulent entries has been principally occupied in the investigation of croups or clusters of entries illegally made in the interest of single individuals or syndicated r.nd corporations who desire to obtain title to the largo bodies of land. Illustrations of this class of work in various states and territories are set forth at length, 'fliese entries are said to be most of them of several years' standing, and it is asserted that this class of fraud i has been largely checked. The timber agents hive investigated depredations on the public timber in all the states and territories in which timber is growing on the public lands. That part of the report which refers to ihe work of the speci.d agents is followed and supplemented by reports from fifty-seven of the local others in all p:irts of the West, called for by the commissioner on Jtpie (J, 1H3. Theso reports are almost unanimous in representing a decrease in attempts to' improperly acquire the public domain. Attention is called to the fact that no authority of law exists for compelling the attendance of witnesses to testify in bearings had on behalf of the government or in contest cases, in proceedings before registers anil receivers to ascertain whether enirie are legal or whether the law has been complied with. Congress is urued to supply some legislation on the subject. 1egiKlncion is recommended for the purpose of making the practice uniform as to the officers who may take final' proof in pre-emption and homestead cases. Iho pending public lands bill, coinmoiily known fts the "ilolman bill," is indorsed by the commissioner. The commissioner recommends the re-orgaui-cntion of the bureau by act of congress so as to provide for nil of the necessary divisions by law and so as to provide compensation for tho ofUeials of the bureau commensurate with tha class of services rendered.

JIow near can yon cotue to gtietrhig Cleveland and I'hnrman't plurality in IiiJiannf Information Wanted. S. Y. Sun. The Indianapolis papers tell us many remarkable things about Brevet-Gen. Harrison. For example,we are informed that ho is not a wine drinker, except on rare occasions, very rare, indeed. F.vcn when he entertains a party, not a wine bottle is to be seen on Iiis table, not a white wine bottle, nor a red wine bottle, nor a bottle of champagne, European or American. Lven when ha enjoyed the honor of entertain ing James G. lliuine. at dinner in Ins hous. not a iiie bottle was visible among the viands or on the sideboard. The distinguished guest and his distinguished host waded through the various courses, from the soup tureen to the pudding dish, in a resolute fpirit, without oeing uisiracicu even oy nie ni;'iucsi vinous fume from iinv bottle, corked or uncorked This is a rather dry btory, and Illaine could probat. ly tell it better than Harrison. e should have thought that out of admiration for his grandfather, Harrison would have given lilaine a brimming beaker of hard cHer. lint. alas. Brother Ilarri-on's Indianapolis admirers are forced to admit that he has a habit that is objectionable to many people he smokes. This is rougii. Hut we need details. Docs he favor the pipe or the cigar? If the Idpc, does he affect a cob or a clay or a porecatti or a genuine Turkish? If he nnokes a cob it will help him with the old-fashioned Hoofders. If a China bowl, it will strengthen him in the Union league club. If his weastness takes the tdiapc of a Jlavan ior a domestic cigar he has no advautage in this respect over his democratic competitor. We want to know all about Gen. Harrison's habits. Ioes he follow the $un' advice by wearing a woolen ehirl iu hot weather?

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

Now In the Field Pulltnc For ClevelanJ The Two Tickets All KlgM. New Yohk, Oct. (L Special. The en thusiastic and unanimous rcnominatfon of Mayor Hewitt by the county democracy this afternoon, following tho equally enthusiastic nomination of Sheriff Grant by Tammany yesterday, places the local democratic forces squarely iu the field for the great struggle for municipal control. Both of tho democratic nominees for mayor are enthusiastic supporters of the democratic national policy, and the general sentiment now is that Cleveland will receive at lead as many vote, proba bly several thousand more, than if there were onlv one democratic ritv andeountv ticket before the people. tirant and Jus lanunany associates wnl hold in the democratic votes of thoxe who were disid'-ctel in 1SSI and who would probably have been again t-edueed by republican cries of that they had no democratic local choice but Hewitt. On tho other hand, Hewitt's candidacy will bring to tho polls many hesitating independents and anti-machine republicans who, when they come to cast their ballot.-., will vote f.fr Cleveland, its they did in 1SS4. The (!erman element will also largely sustain Hewitt, and this current will 'draw many German rcpublicana to the democratic ranks. There is no important dissent to-nigM from the force ot thepo couiderations. The republicans have ceased to pretend to be wronged by the local fit nation and have etopped their b'utr-iranie of big bets. The members of the national and state committees who took part in the lo-:d conferences limited their participation and advice to the ellort to prevent any arrangements likely to imperil the vote for presidential electors. Thy abstained from recommending individual candidates or particular lines of action by any organization, but bought and found a'np'o guarantees that tlie national democratic cause should not sullcr. Uoth committees are satisfied with the outlook and that Cleveland's plurality in this city will bo very much larger than it was in 1SS4. A REPUBLICAN SCHEME DISCOVERED. Chicago Negroes Ar Keine Sent Into tlie State to Vote for IlurrUou and Morton CniCAGO, Oct. 2. To-dry' Iferall says two hundred Chicago negroes left the Polk-st depot Friday evening and three hundred Saturday. They went over the "Wabash and Atlantic roads and were bound for various points in northern Indiana, some going as far south as Indianapolis. The idea is to colonize them throughout the state so they can vote for Harrison at the coming election. The reason they are scut into thostutc this early is so they can be registered. How many more illegal votes have been smuggled into Indiana by Illinois republicans is as yet unknown, but the obove figures are reliable. The 6ehcme leaked out through Timothy Ilickey, member of the state board of equalization from the Second district, going into a barber shop at the corner of State find Polk-sts. to get shaved. The shop is run by a man named Van Stock, and he and Mr. Ilickey pot to talking polities. Van Slack said gomething about the republicans importing negroes into Indiana from Chicago, and Ilickey asked him what he meant. "Why, there is a boy working for me whom they wanted to go over there," answered the barber, and tha boy was immediately called on to explain. His story was a brief one, told concisely. lie is a stalwart negro, a good deal of a ' hustler" in ward politics, and the proposition made lo him was that he should go to Hammond, Ind., register, said return on election day to vote. A promise of ample reward for bis trouble was made him. Further investigation not only proved the truth of his story, but revealed the figures already given. As nearly as can be determined now, the somewhat celebrated Ike Hirers is in charge of the plan to help the republicans of Indiana out. Hirers is a negro who made much personal history for himself in Cincinnati four years ago. He was then a carrier iu Postmaster Palmer's oflice here but delivered precious few letters. He earned his salary mainly by political work. He led a crowd ot negroes to Cincinnati at the time of the October election, they being conveyed there in mad ears at government ev pente, and took tin active part in jhe rather exciting times of that election. Kivers was sueh an enthusiastic republican that he got iuto an argument of a houiewhut personal nature with some equally enthusiastic democrat, and the result was that he was a badly disfigured darkey when he returned home. Still when be was able to appear i:i trie streets he went around bragging how "we carried Ohio." When Palmer was obliged tole ivc the postotnec, liivers was necessarily out of a job, and his aversion to rcjr.dir work has made him all the more anxious to do what ho can for the party which promises, if once more put in power, to give him another sinecure. Hence his rltncs; for the work of colonizing Indiana with (..'hienco r.egro-s who will vote, shout, and, if nted be, tiht for the republican party next November. lieside this il:in of colonization, nnotber one has been in practice lately. Lvery delegation that has gone to Indianapolis lately ha. carried a number of negroes along, either as members of the party or servants. I '.very delegation has brought back fewer than it took away, and those left behind stayed to vote the republican ticket. Colored Imports Sjotted, PLAINTIELD, Oct. 4. Special. There are a number of recent colored arrivals in this township, and if they are here for any other business than for illegal voting it cannot bo ascertained. They may be a Chicago installment. All the same they are being spotted tnd will bo promptly challenged. Let every democrat keep his eyes opened until the 7th day of November. Talsy" I'nirelilld's Scurrility. Tijilon Tiii.rs.'
