nOME AND FARM TOPICS.

THE BEST TIME FOR PLOUGHING. Poultry Tarda Effect of Lima on the Soli Chicken Lic Slclt Anlmftli ValnnbU Household Receipts Hint for the Farmer. No general rule can be piven for ploughing saya the Chicago Timet that Trill bo applicable to til parts of trie country and to all kinds ol land. It is generally agreed that the proper time to break prairie sod is in the early part of summer. The roots of wild grass can be cut the easiest at that time and the sod rots more quickly than if turned in the fall or spring. Most farmers of long experience advocate fall breaking for land that "was seeded to timothy and clover and has produced a crop of hay for several years. They hold that many of the grass roots are dead and that their decay will be hastened if the sod is inverted and the green grass be mixed with them. By turning such a sod in the fall it will become warm before planting time in the spring. If the soil is largely composed of clay the alternate freezing and thawing will greatly benefit it If the land is to be planted to corn it will be necessary to pulverize the surface with a harrow, but the 6oil which is a few inches below will be in a loose condition on account of the roots and foliage of crass which it contains. If the sod is tender, however, being composed chiefly of the roots of clover and timothy, it will be best to defer plowing till a few days before planting the corn. A sod of this kind rots very rapidly and the clover and grass, which will be several inches high, will be of great value Jn producing a crop of corn. The plowing inust be so well done as to cover every etalk and leaf, and thus insure their decay. It is better to plow hillsides in the spring, as washing during the winter is prevented. In the East, where the farms are generally small, the plowing can all be done at the time that experience shows to be the best for insuring the largest crop. In the AVest, however, most farmers find that they must employ most of their timo in plowing from the close of the harvest till the season of planting, stopping only when the frost .renders work impossible. If they do but little plowing in the fail they will have but a few acres to plant and sow, as the springs are generally unfavorable for working the soil. Poultry Yards. American Poultry JonrnaL The yard of the fowl-house should be as extensive as possible. If the good of the fowls only be considered, its limits should be those of the farm, though it would even then be well to have it subdivided so that part could be plowed and sowed to grain, or Jettuce or collards, and the fowls to be kept off nntil the greens could get a proper growth. For a winter yard, however, a very moderate space is required. Tho chief requisites are dryBess and exposure to the southern sun. If there are several flocks of fowls in the same house, the yards should be separated by fences running east and west. This gives to each yard the greatest possible length offence with a southern exposure. Such a fence should be of close boards, either tongued or battened, and against at lea?t a portion of it nearest the house there should be a roof that will turn the rain completely, 60 as to have the ground always dry rneath. If this roof is three feet above the ground at the eves, and extends four feet out from the fence, the fowls will have a warm run whenever the sun shines, and a dry one in all weather, except immediately after a shifting snowstorm. At such times, if the temperature is low, the attendant should clear all the enow out from under the roof at once. Effects of Lime on the Soil. Philadelphia Record. Lime has a strong affinity for carbonic ßeid, but the carbonic acid may be displaced by a stronger acid, such as sulphuric or nitric. Jt is this change of composition (with other changes) that enable it to decompose matter in the soil, and thereby liberate potash, soda and other mineral fertilizers from their original condition cf combination, and hasten the formation of silicates that can be more easily broken from combination than before. It also causes a mechanical effect on the soil and, in connection with the frost, breaks up the lumps and clods. As a result of its action there is a formation of nitrates, sulphates, phosphates and other compounds, which, in their turn, assist in supplying the growing plant with many forms of soluble matter that otherwise could not be appropriated for use. It is due to the many changes it produces in the fertilizing material of the soil that permits it to be considered the best of all Bubstances to be used as a fertilizer if the matter of its cost be given proper consideration. Chicken Lice. A subscriber asks: "What is a good remedy for chicken lice? I keen the coops clean, vet cannot keep the lice down. Also, what should be given fowls to assist them to molt?" A thoroush saturation of every jortion of the poult ry-house with ft mixture of a quart of kerosene in four gallons of strong soapsuds once a week will drive off or kill lice. Dust the fowls with fresh insect powder and rub lard on the head, nocks and lees. For moltinjj hens give a teaspoonful of linseed-oil meal in the soft food once a day. Sick Animals. "Whenever an animal showssigns of sickness remove it from the others at once, without waiting for the disease to develop. Precaution often paves time and los?. If the sickness is not contagious no harm will be done by removing the animaL Where the disease is contagious the bodies of the animals that have died should be burned or buried deep, a3 the disease may reappear at some future time unless precautions &ra used to guard against it. The whole premises should also be thoroughly disinfected.

get hot together, and then add the sugar, stirring well until dissolved; cook for half an hour after it begins to boil; take out the spice bag when the flavor suits. Then put up in bowls like jam and cover with caper after it is cool. It will keep for years. The apples should be cooked the day before. To Preserve Pears and Quinces Together Tare your quinces, weigh them, and allow a pound of sugar to one of quinces. lut them to cook in just water enough to cover them. When you can run broom spliut through them take them out. Have your pears ready, allowing three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of the fruit; add the sugar to the water you boiled the quinces in; arteritis dissolved add the pears ami cook until tender; row put the quinces in with them and simmer all gently for about fifteen minutes. Seal in Mason's cans. Velvet Cake Beat the yolks of six epgs a little, add two cups of sugar and beat fifteen minnteg; add the well-beäten whites o three eggs (leaving the other three for icing), then one cup of boiling water, two and one- half cups of flour, with one tahlespoonful of baking powder, well mixed dry; flavor with a teaspoonful of lemon extract. Bake in three layers, and put this icing between them. Add to the three well-beaten whites six dessertspoonfuls of pulverized sugar to each egg; flavor with lemon. Spiced Pears and reaches To every seven pounds of fruit, allow five pounds of sugnr, three teaspoonfuls each of cÄnnamon and allspice, half a teaspoonful of eloves and one pint of good vinegar. Make a sirup of the sucar and enough water to dissolve the sugr.r nicely. Now add your fruit and cook until tender: remove from the sirup and boil the sirup until quite thick, then pour over your fruit. It will keep for years if put iu self-senling glass cans and kept in a dark, ccol, dry place. Fox-grape Jelly "put the grapes in a reserving kettle, and set it on the range where the fruit will heat gradually, but be in no danger of burning; when all the juice is extracted, pour the contents of the kettle into the jelly bag; hang it over a bowl and let the juice drop through. On nj account use pressure. It may be left over night to drip. To each pint of the clear iuice so extracted add one pound of granulated sugar. Put the sugar in the oven on fiat dishes and le't it dry and become thoroughly hot. Boil the grape juice for five minutes and then add the hot sugar. Let the sirup reach boiling poi.nt, and then remove immediately from the stove. Pour in jelly glawtes; seal tightly when perfectly cold, and keep in a cool, dry and dark place. Deviled Oysters Fifty oysters, four ounces butter, one tahlespoonful lemon juice, one tahlespoonful pepper sauce, two eggs, well whipped, one pint sifted bread-crumbs. Drain and dry the oysters, put them in a shallow pan, pour over them the butter, gently melted, with the lemon juice and pepper sance; keep the pan slightly warm and turn the oysters now and then for a few minutes. Pip the oysters one by one into the crumbs, then into the egg and the crumbs again, and let dry for half an hour. Put into the frying pan to the depth of two inches, either clarified butter, fine leaf lard, or a mixture of both, and when very hot put in the oysters set on a wire stand and cook to a golden-brown color; garnijsU with sprigs of parsley and serve hot.

Farm Not'. Mutton is In greater demand than wool, yet the supply of choice mutton is always far below the demand. The fall colt should be well cared for until six months old. by which time the pastures will be ready, and he will cost but little. According to Prof. II. C. Fernald, the borer in quince is the same as that in the apple tree, arni should be destroyed in the same manner. If it take ten tons of ?ood sweet silacre to feed a cow one yenr, s uminer and winter, it will reJiuire a settled block of it containing SUO cubic cet. If the pasture should cive out make up the deficiency wit!i feed. Milch cows and growing hogs will require a light feed of brau night and morning. Keep a full supply of fruit and vegetables for your o'vn use. It is poor economy to sell offand th'.n be obliged to purchase before the new crop comes in. The New York Timr says that the farm wife has been tha drawer of water, the hewer of wood an actual fact, very often and the servant of all, even of the hired man; to cook, men j and wash for him, to wait upon him, and to r'io nil this at times for several of them. The men who raise pri.e stock could not do so if thev turned their animals out on the fields. They win their honors by giving attention to the breeding of the stock, the quality of the food and the warmth of the quarters. It pays theui to do this. Old wells in the fields should never be boarded over, but filled up. They often cause injury to stock when hoarded, as the boards rot and unexpectedly fall in. A large number ot animals are annually lost by old weil or sinks in the fields. Milk from fresh cows is usually more or less ropy, and if mixed with the milk from the other cows it will interfere with the rising of the cream. This is a matter that deserves more consideration than it usually receives. SVcds should be thoroughly cleaned before drying and saving them. To properly remove tomato seeds place the pulp in water and allow it to remain two days. Then wash well, rinse, dry them and put them in tight viils. As no two animals are alike, it is best to consult their appetites and desires. Whatever the animal prefers as food, and thrives on, it should have. Food cannot be forced on an animal if it dislikes it. Sunflowers are used in Wyoming territory for fuel. The stalks, when dry, are as hard as maple wood and make a hot fire, and the seedhcads with the seed in are said t burn better than the best hard coal. An acre of flowers will furnish fuel for one stove for a year. As the season advances and occasional frosts occur, cows are very liable to fall oft in their milk yield, if precautions be not taken to prevent it. Not only has the grass lost much of its nutritive value, but cold storms and frosty nights reduce the general tone of the animal's system. At the annual sale and letting of Hamp-shire-Down rams, at Salisbury, Kng., on Aug. 1 1, 101 head m-ide an average of 12 Cs, 9d, or almost exactly $0 each ! One ram was rented for a year at 75 guineas $32! The ten rams letting at the highest prices averaged 27 13s. Cd., or f 136 each. If food be not given until after the usual time, the animal is apt to eat too fast; the material from the previous meal has been exhausted, and as a result vitality is lowered, leading to imperfect digestion and assimilation, while the stores of the body have been drawn on to furnish the material necessary to vital action. Any substance rich in sugar will readily fatten stock. Sweet potatoes, beets, sorghum refuse, etc, can always be used to advantage for hog. The small aud inferior sweet potatoes, cooked, will fatten a hog sooner than corn, and can be u.sed to advantage for that purpose. Of the roots carrots are best for horses. Turnips, if thickened when cooked with corn meal, make excellent food for all classes of stock. Now that the animals are becoming free of the torments of insects they will fatten readily, and will gain much faster in w eight than in winter. Feed them liberally and get them as far ahead as possible before cold weather comes on, as it can be done at less cost at this season than later on. Matured stock should be fattened and got out of the way early, ia order to make room for the growing animals. Sweet cream and sour cream when churned together will not produce good butter; yet, it is safe to say that a large majority of farmers' wives hold the cream for a week in order to collect a sufficient quantity for a churning. This matter of saving cream is what throws sa much inferior butter on the market. When churning is done it is best to have the whole of the cream of the same quality. Look to the winter shelter now. The more exposed the animal during cold weather the more food required. All the warmth of the body must come from the food, and no animal can fatten except on the food left over from that required for bodily warmth. Shelter is equivalent to food in that respect, and the more comfortable the sick the lower the cost and the greater the gain. Sh Kose to the Occasion. f Baltimore Herald. A Wichita (Kan.) woman has solved the question of free liquor, high license or prohibition with ont fell and condisru swoop. Her husband did not return home one uiht. ähe armed herself with an ax and sought the saloon where she knew he imbibed. Smashing in the front doors, she proceeded to a bacK room where her better half lay in a drunken snooze. The Amazon fell to work and chopped the bar-room appointments into kindling wood and ran tlie barkeeper out of the doors. S'ta then sapped her husband's face until he woke up, and then drained him home, where he was given a miffbty thrashing with a bagzy whip. This woman was no theorist She understood exactly how to subdue the rum power.

GREETED BY THOUSANDS.

AN OVATION GIVEN THE OLD ROMAN. In Spite of Mad and Rain Fifty Thousand llooaiers Turn Oat to Receive the Man of Their Choice A. Mot MnciilfW cent Gathering The Speeches. "If I ever had tho slightest doubt that Indiana would go democratic this fall that doubt would be removed by a glance at this magnificent audience," said Gov. Gray in his speech at Shelbyville, Monday afternoon. The sentiment was re-echoed by every ono in the little county-seat of Shelby county. Four years ago, on one of the most pleasant days of the fall, 40,000 people attended a barbecue at Shelbyville. Yesterday, with rain falling almost constantly after a week of rainy weather, 50,000 people turned out to do honor to the democracy and to one of its national standard-bearers who has been, according to his own testimony, a democrat since his childhood. Such a scene as that presented at Shelbyville yesterday was probably never before witnessed in America. Lowering clouds, falling rain, and a mud almost knee-leep had no terror for the enthusiastic thourtnds of democracy, and they poured into ALT,KN O. THTRMAN. and over the little city of 0,000 inhabitants as if their very lives depended on their getting within its precincts. Itain fell almost continuously from 3 o'clock in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, but there was not a murmur among the people assembled. They seemed utterly oblivious to the elements. Their ardor was not to be dampened, even by a downpour, and it is doubtful if even a Manitoba blizzard could have phased them in tho least. Daylight found hundreds and sunrno thousands gathered in the town. All through the night the streets were alive with vehicles, mostly farmers' wagons, loaded with those anxious to catch a glimpse of the "Old Koman," and at the same time to show their devotion to the cause of democracy. They mine in wagons, buggies and on horseback from points from ten to fifty miles distant. Many carried capacious lunch baskets stored with provender for a two-days' campaign. Family parties were the rule, but couples who hoped in the future to Med and establish families were numerous. The mule-cart, the more aristocratic lumberwagon, and the still "tonier" carryall were enumerated among the arrivals, but in slang parlance', "everything went." And "everything went" to .Shelbyville. AT THE FAIR GROUNDS. Thousands Tramp Through tho Mud and I'artnke of Koat Keer. Early Sunday morning the work of preparing tho banquet for the expected crowd began at the fair grounds, three-fourths of a mile east of the center of Shelbyville. Over a pit forty feet in length, a huge grid-iron composed of railroad rails, was laid. Above this a frame work Mas erected. After a nre of an earnestness of purpose, equal to that of the democrats present yesterday had been kindled in the pit, sixty beeves, one bv one, were slowly roasted on the gird-irons. Then the cutting up lM?Kan in the main hall of the exposition grounds. Country people began to pour into the fair grounds by S:'M yesterday morning. The roads were almost impassable, but wagon after wagon deposited its load of human freight on the soggy turf. Every new arrival made a break for the tables, 11,000 feet of which, covering nearly two acres, had been erected east of the main hall. I'.y 11 o'clock 15,0)0 people were on the grounds, and by 12:.T0 nothing but bones and stray bits of CO.O00 loaves of bread remained as souvenirs of the sixty departed beeves. On the grounds five speaking booths had been erected. Tho main one, from which Judge Thurman and Gov. Gray made their address-s, projected from tho center of the grand stand. The other four wer distributed about the grounds behind the stands. When the parade left the town and started for the fair grounds about onefifth of the whole crowd followed. Tho rain and the muddy roads seemed to have no deterring effect on them. Uy 2 o'clock 2-3,000 people were on the fair grounds awaiting the arrival of the speakers. THE SPEAKING. Judge Thurman Received With the Wildest Enthusiasm. About 1 o'clock Senator Thurman and party eat down to dinner in the tastefully decorated dining room of Mr. Beggs. The discussion of the menu occupied the time until 2 o'clock, and then, in his sixhorse coach, followed by Gov. Gray, Senator V'oorhces and other notables in carriages the guest of tho day was driven to the fair grounds. Along the route the streets were packed and each cheer so mingled with its successor as the procession advanced that it eonmed one prolonged about extending along the mile and over of the line of march. Arrived on the ground, one great unanimous hurrah went up from 2-3,000 throats, and all flocked toward the erand stand to get a glimpse of and catch a word Irora the grand old man. The grand stand was packed, and it was with the utmost difficulty that tho party succeeded in getting to the stand. The race-course was jammed, and a sea of upturned faces greeted Judge Glessner as he rose to introduce the speaker of tho day. A drizzling rain had set in, but tho Old Koman, as if to forever set at rest the stories of his infirmity, threw od his overcoat, put aside his tall silk hat, and stood with bared head revealed to his admirers as a hale and hearty old man. Gray to be sure, but not white-headed. Somewhat massive in body, giving the impression of great power. Eyo bright and twinkling as that of a village belle. Voice somewhat husky from a severe cold, but clear and resonant when the throat was cleared of phlegm. lie looked everv inch "the noblest Roman of them all' What a cheer went up! Tt seemed as if it might bo heard in Inuiauapolis. It wad

JmmM

simply deafening. For several minutes Judge Thurman stood bowingand smiling, and when at last he could make himself heard rdove the uproar, he spoke as follows : Mr. Chairman Before I commence making the brief speech that I shall deliver to you to-day I want to make, or say, a word of explanation. 1 have been compelled to-day to decline shaking hands with my friends whom under other circumstances it would have given me great pleasure to take by the hand; bat I have been on the stump now so long and meeting such immense throng of people my arm is so sore as to make it impossible lor me to shake hands with you. It would cause me more suffering than I could bear, and much more, I am sure, than any one ot you would wish to inflict upon me. Sovr, my friends, I shall speak to you very briefly to-day because it is my habit to speak briefly. Secondly, there are so many speakers here, men of great eloquence, mon ot great ability, men whom you desire to hear, thai it would be wholly inexcusable in me to monopolize the time which fairly belongs to them. I am an anti-monopolist applausel in politics and on the stump, and, therefore, I never take the time that belongs to other men. Now, my friends, I wish to say to you in the utmost sincerity that I am a happy man to-day Applause and cheers. 1 am happy to meet with this magnificent audience ot unterrified democracy oi the noble state of Iodiana. Applause. I am happy to stand in this goodly city of Shelbyville, where our dearly beloved friend. Thomas A. Hendricks great applause, used to live. lam abappymau to see arouftt me so many of your distinguished men, and especially to" be with your noble governor, who is such an honor to the state and to the cause of democracy. Applause. And I am thrice happy to .ee all around me the sins of victory in this state. Great enthusiam and cries of "you bet." Aud victory in Indiana means the election of Cleveland to the presidency of the United Mates. Cheers. Now. my friends Here Mr. Thurman produced his bandana, which was the signal for another outburst of applause. four years ago I had the honor to speak to a number of meetings iu the state of Indiana 1 was advocating the election of G rover Cleveland to be president of the United States. Our opponents were actively engaged in the same contest, and wherever 1 went I heard their gloomy prediction of what would befall the country should Cleveland be elected president. A voice: "W'c 6till live." Everywhere they predicted ruin to the business ot the country. Everywhere they told us that the mills and factories and furnaces of the United States would be shut down because they could not live under an administration of Grover Cleveland. Everywhere they talked about the payment of the public debt, pensioning the rebel soldiers, and the Eord knows what other evils their vivid and warm imagination did not lortray to the people to prevent them from votinjr for Grover Cleveland for president of the United States, but the people did not believe their sad prediction and they elected that man to the presidency. And now he has been president tor a little over three years and a half, and what do we now hear? Why, from these very same republican orators, we hear it declared that the United States never was as prosperous as they are this day! Applause. All their prophecies of ruiu to the business of the country, all their prophecies in regard to the payment of the rebel debt; ail their predictions of jensioniug rebel soldiers, all the llaunting of the bloody siiirt has gone for nothing and is only remembered to be ridiculed. Applause. My friends, there never was a president who took his seat under more trying circumstances than Cleveland did on the 4tli ot March, l&s. Tue democratic party had been out of power for nearly a quurter of a century. Ot course there were many democrats who thought that when we got a democratic administration every democrat in the

land ousht to have a good othce. Of course, there were others who wanted noolGce, but hud their own peculiar notions as to how the government oucht to be conducted, and to meet ami satisfy the wishes of the people, those who elected him president of the United States, that man Cleveland had the hardest task that ever was encountered by a president. And how has he performed that task? Here the speaker was interrupted by a speil of coughing. You see what a bad cold I have. The people's answer to that question is fouud in the fact that afrer three and a-half years of his administration the democratic convention at St. Louis renominated him by a. unanimous vote. That nomination has been ratified by the democracy of the whole country, from Maine to Mexico, with the same accord and unanimity. Now, my friends, let me tell you thiit no second-rate man was ever renominated for the presidency of the United States by a unanimous vote; and the fact that Cleveland has so conducted himself that his ndmhiistration has been 60 cleanly, so upright, so honest, so patriotic, that tho wuole democratic party from oue end of the republic to the other, said, "Let us give him another term; he has douc well by the powers that have been conferred upon him once. Let us take hhn airain, i'or we know he will do well in another term.''" Great applause. I.et nie say once more, no dishonest man, no secondrate maa, nobody but a great man, nobody but an upright, industrious, courageous man ever yet was honored in this way, and therefore the answer to what is said against Cleveland is, "Heboid, the American people have spoken in his favor." Applause. 1 have such a cold it is almost impossible for meto spesik; my throat gets choked up; but my heart is not choked up a bit. Great applause. It beats well. It beats with the fullest degree of emotion at the kindly weloome that you have given me, and at the interest and the zeal you manifest in that caue and in favor of that party to w hich I have belonged from my boyhood up, and to which I intend to belong until 1 am laid away to my final rest. Applause. My friends, if I had time to do it, I would like to say a few w ords upou the subject that interests you so much, and which is talked of so much this year the question of the taritl". I must confine what I have to say upon that interesting subject to a very few remarks and leave it to those who are to follow me to elaborate it as much as they and you desire. What is a tariff? It is nothing in the wide world but a tax. It is a tax levied upon you people, and . hen it is levied for no other purpose thin of rirnishing the government of the country with s.iftieient meaus to carry the government on, no man of any party makes objection to it, bu when it is used, not for the purpose of raising in that way the necessary revenue for the government, but for raising millions and tens of millions, nay hundreds ot millions of dollars or more of revenue for which the government has no legitimate use, then my friends, the government puts its hands into your pockets and robs you of your daily earnings. Applause. I say it is a tax and it is a tax paid in the most unequal degree by the foor man of the land. How is this tax paid? oes the gatherer of the United States come around and demand it of you on your farm and in your workshop? No, that is not the way. It is this way: Upon every article of foreign manufacture that is brought into your country for sale this tax is levied. It is collected in the custom-houses of the United States. It is first paid by the man who brings the goods here the importer and then, of course, he puts that tax upon the price which he paid for the goods and sells it for that increased price when he disposes of it to the merchant. Then when the merchant sells it to you here in this goodly city of Shelbyville, lie keeps on that tax in the price that he charges you for it, otherwise he could not carry ou his business twenty-four hours; he would necessarily break up in less than twenty-four hours if he did not keep on that tax which he had pa:d in the prie he gave f jf the goods when he sells the goods to you. Ko that it is true, literally true, with some very few exceptions that are too trifling to need observation, that upon all that you wear, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, the burden of this tax is laid upon you in the price you pay for the goods. And there is thia other thing about this tariff, that not only is the price raised upon all the goods that are brought from abroad, but it is raised on all the goods manufactured in this country that come in competition with those goods that arc imported, anil so it is that about four or five times as much as the money that is collected from the people in these prices psid for goods goes to a privileged class in the United States, and don't go into the treasury nt all. Well, now, my friends, the effect of this has been to create a great surplus in the treasury of the United States, on the 31st day of Augu.-t List, of about $lW,000,0s. Owing to payments made from the treasury since then it has been omewhat reduced, but then it was that immenne amount, and 1 suppose the amount now is nearly $100,000,000 your money taken out of your pockets, and now laying idle in the vaults of the treasury of the United States, for which the government has no use whatever. That is just so much monev taken out of the circulation of the country. That is just so much money which the people might use in their business transactions, and in supplying their daily wants, and would so use it were it not locked up idle in the vaults of the treasury. Now. oy frieuda. we democrats Bay that is

not right. Democrats saythat it is right enough to pay taxes to the government to the amount that the government needs to carry ou the aflairs of government, but it is monstrous to tax the people to the amouut of $100,000,000 or more, in order that that money may be withdrawn from circulation, withdrawn from business, and locked up iu the vaults of the treasury. Here Mr. Thunnan was interrupted byanother lit of coughinz. A voice: "Save yourself; we will vote for you, anvwoy." You are a democrat. Applause. l$ut it is time for me to stop. My friends, our opponents say that this tariff is for the benefit of laboring men; as if it could possibly be for the benefit of a laboring man to tax him on all he wears, on all his wife and children wear, on all of the tools and implements of his trade, and when he dies, carry him in a taxed conin to his grate. No, that is simply an absurdity; nothing more, nothing less than absurdity. The idea that a nation can be made rich by heavily taxing its people far beyond what the necessities of the government require the idea that a man can be bettered by taxing him on all the necessaries of life is nothing short of an absurdity. Applause. But, republicans state that democrats propose to break down all the manufacturers in the country. My friends, they will do no such thing. They mean to give the manufacturer a fuir chance for an honest living, and when they do that they do all that an honest man can ask. That is all. They talk about our oppressing or being enemies of the laboring man. Why, in the name of all that is true, ot what manner of men is the democratic party composed? I hove belonged to it since 1 was knee high to a duck, as we boys used to say. Applause and laughter. I have watched it, been of it, worked with it, and seen it under many and many on administration aad always I have 6fen that niuety-nine one-hundredths of the men w ho belonged to the democratic party are laboring men! Applause. Cries of "That's r;ght." A voice: "Not for a dollar a day, either." Not if they can get more. Applause. Well, now, my friends, I believe that, considering the ineleiuency of the weather, and considering how many there are to come after me, I will, after thanking you kindly for the patience with which you have listened to my broken efforts, ask you to allow me to retire and bid you good-by with this admonition, that upon your state may depend whether we shall continue to have honest, good, democratic government in the United States, or whether we shall le oppressed by a course and policy that treads the people under foot and benefits nobody but monopolists and extortioners. My friends, I thank you for your attention and I now bid you good-bye. Great applause.l Two or three times during his speech Judge Thurman pulled from his pocket his famous bandana, and its appearance was each time the signal for an outburst of applause. "When he concluded, he made a pleasant reference to Gov. Gray, and the applause which followed made it impossible for the gorernor to be heard for some moments. Then Mr. Thurman took his seat and listened attentively. Gov. Gray followed Judge Thurman and held the crowd for three-quarters of an hour longer, after which the party were driven to the depot and, after some little delay, went on to Indianapolis, where the judge will remain over night. GOV. CRAY SCORCHES BLAINE.

A Telllnjr Speech Which Was I'.nthuslasticnlly Received. Gov. Gray held the crowd to a man. He began by sayii.g: "If I ever entertained a doubt that tho democrats would carrv this state, that doubt was dispelled when I saw this great and earnest crowd here to-day. Such enthusiasm as has been manifested here can mean nothing short of an overwhelming victory." Then the governor took a tilt at Blaine, saying: James G. Blaine, in his first speech after his arrival home from Europe, where his plume had waved in the halls of Cluny castle, and in the breeze as he rode on the top of Carnegie's tally-ho coach over the hills of Scotland, declares that trusts are private affairs with which neither the president nor congress had anything to do. Mr. lllaine, finding that his defense of trusts was unpopular with the people, and that the country was with Cleveland on that question, has become very much out of humor with the president. I&st week this "uncrowned king of the republican party," in stumping Indiana for Harrison, spoke at Goshen, and in his anxiety to try and make the political record of other statesmen appear as bail as his own, in his speech referred to the refusal of the U. S. senate to go into an investigation of the election of Senator Payne of Ohio to a sent in that body. Hesaid: "Nor was rumor quiet as to the interposition of the national administration to suppress an investigation. If President Cleveland had been as eager to examine into a great trust as he was to denounce them all ia his message, his opportunity was there. Hut unless all rumors be at fault the social blandishments of the administration were lavished on republican senators to secure enough of them to join the democrats to take ofl" the curse of unanimous democratic resistance to an investigation of a trust." Thus Mr. blaine attacks the official integrity and party fealty of every republican U. S. senator who voted not to go into that investigation. Who were the republican senators that voted with the democrats iu that ease? They were Senators Ingalls, Miller, Plumb, Sewell, Jtiddleberger, Sawyer, Stanford, Teller, Van Wyck, Chace, Jones, Cuilom, I.' . .. . 1 llwi lwk.n!i Isilm 1 T f" Tl the most conspicuous volunteer held ollicer of the war and the candidate of the republican party for vice-president in liSSl. I desire to call the attention of my republican friends to this attack by lilaine upon the official aud political integrity of republican U. S. senators. If Mr. Blaine's statement is true, it is a sad commentary on the republican party. The living senators, however, are abundantly able to defend themselves if they choose to do so. but what will the soldiers of Indiana and Illinois say as to this attack by James G. lilaine on the official character and political integrity of the intrepid Logan, than whom a more gallant officer never 6trode a horse in the hour ot battle. JIis plume, like that of Marshal Murat of Xapoleou's old guard, was always seen waving in the lore front rank of battle. No man ever before dared to cast suspicion on the integrity of John A. Logan, and Mr. lilttine would not have dared to thus a-sperse the official reputation of the great soldier were he living, lint Jxgan is dead. The eagle eye that never quailed with fear is now sightless. The voice that rang out along the line of battle is hushed forever, lie tills a soldier's grave, but is not forgotten. His memory lives vividly in the heart of every man who admires true courage and devotion to country. It was left for lilaine, while speaking for Harrison in Indiana, to try to tarnish and cast susfdcion on Logan's oliicial aud political record y charging that Logan was swerved from his sworn duty as a senator by the blandishments of the administration. It would have been bad enough for lilaine to have charged that republican senators had been swerved from their sworn duty by the blandishments of an administration of their own party, had there been one at the time; but to charge that such a man as John A. Logan could be swerved from the obligations of his official oath by the blandishments of an administration of an opposite party, is to belittle him in the estimation of all true men. When lilaine used the words "social blandishments," he evidently desired his audience to understand that that was a mild way of putting it. This charge of Blaine's as to republican senators having been influenced by the social blandishments of the administration to east their votes against the Payne investigation, has been conjured up solely in the mind of Elaine by his anxiety to make a po'nt against the president, and in his attempt to do so his statements simply aspersed the oQicial reputation of fourteen republican U. s. senators. I think the people will await with some anxiety to see w hether Harrison or his managers will in any manner disapprove of this attack by Blaine upon the name and fame of Logan. For it w ill rot be forgotten that Blaine was speaking for Harrison when he engaged in his work of aspersion. He spared neither the living nor the dead, but with ghoulish hands tore open the grave of Logan and virtually said to his hearers while he held up to view the battle-scaixd remains of the illustrous dead: This wa? a man who in life was a U. S. senator, and j rctended to be an honest man and a republican. But when put to the test proved recreant to J party and to his sworn duty as a senator, a. . to be nothing more than & truckling sycophant fondling at the feet of the administration in power. In conclusion, the governor briefly but tersely discussed tho tariff question. When Gov. Gray had finished, Judge Thurman and party were driven back to

the station, amid a continual outburst of cheering, and immediately boarding their car started for Indianapolis. JAMES G. BLAINE, The "Greatest IjiiK Statesman," Photographed Jij a Stalwart. The Hon. Geo. C. Gorham, tho ex-secretary of the U. S. senate and an intimate personal friend of the late Itoscoe Conklini', writes of Mr. LMaine in lUljvnVt Magazine for October: His leadership during the administration of Garfield is history. He was false to coun'ry, to party and to the president. He härtere I with southern democratic senators for their votes in the senate to secure the political destruction of P.oscoe Conkling, and delivered republican Virginia b'ack to the democracy as the coii-dd-eration, thus making the South aaiu solid. He bred the disturbances which unsettled the weak head of the half-breed Gniteau, who assassinated th president after praising him in writing for his treatment of Conkling. Alter he was dismissed from oloce by President Arthur he became the pet of a large element among the southern democrats, and during tho summer of ISSl! the word w:is pased among them that he would do for them. None knew better than they; and "Jem Blaine is good enough for me" was a familiar form of greeting among them. Iu 182 he and his crew in New York broke down the republican party and gave tlie state to Cleveland. The party never rallied lrotn thiä, and never will under the lead of th"o who then struck it down. The democratic party had then no further use for Mr. Blaiue's services, for they could win w ithout his assistance. In after he had destroyed the party and made the election of auy candidate impossible, he sought and obtained the privilege of going down with a captain's uniform on his back on the quarter-deck of the ship he had seuttied. He then gave a hoarse howl at Auguptn, against the So 'lth whose instrument he had so often been, and subsided. Tiiinful and laborious effor s were ma le during the last year by all who wanted him in otliee lor their own purposes, to make hhn appear a popular candidate. Hat, ÜKe Alfred Jinzle's "Brummagem buttons," they were ''no go." He wanted a nomination, yet feared it. He declined it in advance, and then intrigued for it. Timid, weak and vacillating, his ambition unslaked, but the road to its gratification, beset with horrid Gorgons his record had evoked, he has drifted in and out of the political current as caprice and the condition of his health and spirits have dictated. The real Ulaine shouters, having held him up at Chicago and had him slaughtered, now, with equal want of sense, haul him about the country as a rare show, reminding one of nothing so much as the crier outside the door of the show iu the play of "Belphegor, the Mountebank," who monotonously shouts into the ears of passers-by, with a deafening hass-drum accompaniment by himself: "Coma and see i.Jthazznr Ihlpherjor, the greatest necromancer alive ! ali ve ! 1 all ve ! ! !" The idea of advertising Lira all summer as the guest and chum of Mr. Carnegie, the head of the offensive iron and steel trust, riding through Scotland on his tally-ho, and being entertained by him at Cluny castle, and then attempting to make him the trust defending hero of a campaign in w hich Carnegie's workingmen are asked to vote for Blaine for secretary of state and high wages for themselves, just after they have been locked out by their greedy employers iu an effort to make them submit to a reduction of 10 per rent, on their miserable starvation wages is it not the eesta-y of lolly? That the manufactured hut sadly limping enthusiasm for Mr. Blaine should deceive a good many is not strange. That it wearies the great body of sensible people is most certain. That, in the face of the whole absurd performance, the republican presidential nominee should remain silent while Mr. Blaine's leaders publicly boast that he is to be mude secretary of state and again turned loose in the republican china shop in the event of republican success, is beyond belief. A plumed knight who kneels and begs, a great commander who never w on a victory, a great statesman who never framed a measure, a great statesman whom the people have, in four presidential campaigns, steadily refused to follow -what hope of victory cau the republican

arty entertain, if nobody will give bonus that ie hall be sent to the rear? NOT THE MILLS BILL'S WORK. A Vtrar.M 3Iine Shuts Down, tilving False Kensons Therefor. Saturday notice was posted at one of the Brazil coal mines to the effect that the tariff agitation brought about by the Mills bill was having such a demoralizing eflect on the business of the country that the demand for coal had greatly fallen off and the mine would be closed until after election, the shut-down beginning Saturday nicht. However, the notice 6tated, there would be work for part of the force, who could secure work by applying to the bosses. It is a highly significant fact that every one of these bosses is a republican. Whatever may be the real cause of the lockout, and whether it is or is not an attempt to coerce the miners into voting the republican tieket, it is certain that the Mills bill can in no wise be held responsible. The cause of the light demand for coal at present, of which the company complains, was explained last ni-ht by Mr. Crawford Fairbanks of Terre Ilnute, owner of a one-fifih interest in the Clay City minen, who said: "It has. of course, been known for some time that the Standard Oil company has been constructing an oil pipe line Irom Lima, O., to Chicago. About three months ago the work was completed. It is estimated that fully 10,UO barreli of oil are being pumped into Chicago daily. The company is now constructing pumping stations along the route. One fcf these is in northern Indiana. It will be but a short time until, by the aid of these stations, the Standard company will be forcing about two hundred and fifty thousand barrels of oil per diem into Chicago. Ail the manufacturers of that city are contemplating using the oil for fuel. Its superiority as a fuel over coal is at once apparent. "It is only necessary to state the facts I hava just mentioned to reveal the course of the closing of the Brazil mines. Chicago was their principal market. About three months ago. I was told by the officials of the Kastern Illinois that their road carried fifty earloads of block coal daily from Brazil to Chicago. Since the introduction of oil into the Lake City the amount transported has gradually decreased. "Another thing I might mention : Mr. Porter, who has the controlling interest in the steel rail mill of Chicago, owns the largest portion of the Brazil mines and yet his mills have adopted the oil as fuel. "the introduction of natural gas into Indianapolis has cut ofl" many orders for Brazil block coal. Nearly all the manufacturers here, I understand, are using the natural fuel. "The operators of the Brazil mines are trying to make political capital out of their shutdown by saying that it due to prospective legislation on the tarilF as proposed in the Mills bill, because the iron industries have been injured thereby and ceased their demand for coal. Mr. Porter, I understand, has issued a circular to that effect to the minen. To prove the absurdity and the falsity of this declaration it is only necessary to point to the immense amount of business the steel rail mill in Chicago and the iron mills nil over the country are doing. These are the facts." The lion. John E. Lamb of Terre Haute corroborated the above iu every particular. The Bondholders Game. X. Y. Msr. Why should the debt be anticipated? This generation has already paid a gr at deal more of the debt than can in reason be asked of it. That is everywhere conceded. Why pay more then, and especially why pay it at the enormous loss to the government in premiums which tho bondholders exact? It is an iiustatesmanlike subterfuge to avoid a plain duty. That duty Is to relieve the people of unnecessary taxes. Let there be put squarely against tili policy of Gen. Harrison the aphorism of Picsident Cleveland, "unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation." The two men as candidates are well measured by this sententious appeal of Cleveland to relieve the people of unjust burdens, while Harrison makes a labored argument to prove that they should continue to be oppressed by theui even if the nation has to pay bondholders a large advance on the face of their debt. The president is statesmanlike and in sympathy with the people; his opponent aids'thc capitalist alike by continuing in their interest taxes that are unnecessary and by buying bonds of them at exorbitant rates with tho money thus taken from tlie people.

HIS FORMAL ACCEPTANCE

BRIEF BUT STRAIGHT TO THE POINTi A Simple, Direct and Forcible L.ett( Given Oat by Judi; Thurman C1t land's Administration Marked by Integrity and Patriotism. Coi.uMnrf,0.,0ct.l4. JudgoThnrman'i letter of acceptance was given to the pre6 this evening. Tho first draft of the lettef was in the judge's handwriting, and thi typewriter copies showed only a few changes in punctuation from the original, The letter is as follows : CoLi Mßi s, O., Oct. 12, 1SS3. The linn. Ta'rick A. CelUm ami Others, Committed Gentlemen In obedience to custom, I sendl you thi.- formal acceptance of my nomination for the xiüce of vice-president of the United tatfc, made by the national convention of th democratic party at St. Louis. When you did me tlie honor to call upon ruf at Columbus and officially notify me of my nomination, I expressed to you my sense of obligation to the convention aud stated that, althouuh I had not sou cht the nomination, I did not feel at liberty, under the circumstances, to decline iL, I tiiouuht then, as I still think, that w hatever 1 could properly do to promote the re-election oi President Cleveland I ought to do. His admini.-ira'.iou has been marked by such integrity, good sensef manly courage and exalted patriotism, that a just appreciation or these high qualities seems to call for his reelection. I am also strongly impressed with the belief that his re-election would powerfully tend to strengthen that feeling of fraternity among the American people that is so essential to their welfare, pence and happiness, and to the per petuity of the Union and of our free iustito tions. 1 approve the platform of the SL Louis convention and I eanuot too strongly express my dissent from the heretical teachings of tha monopolists that the welfare of a people can be promoted by a system of exorbitant taxation far in excess ol the wants of the government. The idea that a people can be enriched by heavy and unnecessary taxation, that a man condition can be improved by taxing him oa all he wears, on all his wife and children wear, oa all his tools and implements of industry, is an obvious absurdity. To fill the vaults ot th treasury with an idle surplus for w hich th government has no legitimate nse, and to thereby deprive the people of enrreucy needed for their business and daily wants, and to create s powerful and dangerous stimulus to extravagance and corruption in the expenditures of the government, seems to me to be a policy al variauee with every sound principle of govern nient aud of political economy. The necessity of reducing taxation to pre vent 6uch an accumulation of surplus revenue and the consequent depletion of the circulatix g medium, is so apparent that no party dares to deny it; but when we come to consider tha modes by which the reduction may be mada, we find a wide antagonism between our part and the monopolistic leaders of oar political opponents. We seek to reduce taxes upon the necessariet of life; our opponents seek to increase them. We say, give to the masses of the people cheap and good cloihinir, cheap blankets, cheap toon? and cheap lumber. The republicans, by their platf jrm, and their leaders in the senate by their proposed bill, say increase the taxes oa clothing and blankets and thereby increas their cost, maintain a high duty on the tools of the farmer and mechanic and upon the lumbep which they need for tlie construction of theiy modest dwellings, shops and bams, b.i 1 thereby prevent their obtaining these necessaries a reasonable prices. Can any sensible man doubt as to where I; should siand on this controversy? Can any well-informed man be deceived by the falsa pretenses that a system so unreasonable and unjust is for the benefit of the Inboringnianf Much is said about thecompetition of American laborers with the pauper labor of Europe but does uot every r.iau who looks around him see and know that an immense majority of tha Jaborers in America are not engaged in what are called the protected industries;' and as to thosa who are employed in such industries, is it not undeniable that the duties proposed by tha democratic measure, called the Mil'" hi'l t exceed the difference between American auol Kuropean wages, and tint, therefore, if it were admitted that every workiugman can be protected by tarifls against cheaper labor, they would be fully protected, and more than protected, by that bill? I"es not every well-informed man know that the increase la price of home manufacturers, produced by a high tariff does not go into tlie pockets of laboring men, but only tends to swell the profits of others? It seems to me that if the policy of the democratic, party is plainly presented, all must understand that we seek to make the cost of liv ingless, and at the same time increase tha share of the laboring man in the benefits of tha national prosperity and growth. I am very respectfully, your obedient servant. Alles G. TirrKMAJf. Solid For Cleveland. To TTTE Editor Sir: I see by the In dianapolis ToMrnoi that Col.
