HOW TO PREVENT THE FORMATION" OF TUB POTATO SCAB. The "Wheat Crop of 1S0.T-Hw to IraproTe atmd Increaie Hop Crop Fattening Vonnjr Lambs Vineless Yams and Sweet Potatoes Horse !Votes All Around the Farm Hints to Housekeepers Valuable Recipes. The Jlichig-an agricultural college experiment station now Issues poster bulletins, "which are printed on cardboard and arranged to hang on the wall. They give icformation on subjeots cf practical Interest to farmers. The first bulletin gives directions !how to prevent potato 6cab. as follows: "The fact that the scab or roughness upon potatoes can be prevented has been demonstrated by actual field trials. It Is known that, while these spots may sometimes be caused by insects, they are generally of a fungous nature and although the season, soil or variety has much to do with the amount of injury, crops are eeldom grown that are entirely free from injury. In some cases the effect is so perious that the market value is reduced one-half. . "Not only is an increase in the total yield secured by this treatment, but reports have been received of gains of 100 "bushels of marketable potatoes per acre. The expense should not exceed 10 cents per acre, and In seasons when the disease Is troublesome the volume of the crop can often be doubled, as, with proper precautLms, even when scabby peed is used, potatoes will be free from scab if the directions for treatment are followed." The directions on the back of the card are as follows: "Dissolve corrosive sublimits (bl-chlor-ide of mercury) in water at the rate of one ounce to eight gallons of water (1 to 1.000), and s-ak the freed potatoes from sixty to ninety minutes. "One-half of the above strength would answer did it not grow weaker with repeated use; if much stronger the sprouting would be delayed and the yield decreased. A shorter period of Immersion will be l?s effectual, while soaking longer will injure their vitality and decrease the yield. To prepare the solution, first moisten the corrosive sublimate and then dissolve it in two quarts of boiling water, after which it fehould be diluted as above. "For soaking the seed a tub or halfbarrel could be xised. which would allow the tubers in a basket or burlap sack to be readily immersed. "While the treatment can be given after the seed is cut. It Is better to soak the whole tubers. If treated much previous to the time of planting the tubers should be dried and Ftored where they will not be infected Ly the germs of the disease. "If placed In sacks or crates that have been treated with corrosive sublimate there will be no danger. If a solution of two ounces In sixteen gallons of water is prepared it will suffice for the soaking of fifteen bushels of potatoes and. If more are to be used one-half ounce of corrosive should be added and the losa of water made gnod. This should be repeated for each fifteen bushels treated." Wheat Crop of 103. Th January report of the department of agriculture estimated the wheat crop of 1S33 at 336.000.000 bushels. The Cincinnati Price Current, one of the most reliable trade Journals published, regards 450.000,000 bushels as a moderate estimate of the crop; thi3 is 54,000,000 bushels above the government report. It characterizes the government report as the most faulty one ever offered from the government bureau. The question whether the department has underestimated the crop of 1S93, as it did in 1S31 and 1S92, is to be investigated. The senate has adopted the following resolution: "Whereas, A number of loading commercial newspapers, like Bradstreet's "Weekly, the Cincinnati Trice Current, and many others, persistently dispute the reports of the agricultural department relative to the yearly wheat crops of this country and its estimates of the amount of wheat in thi3 country at different periods, usually largely increasing the quantities beyond those published in the reports and estimates of said department; and "Whereas, Such printed statements from unauthorized sources largely control the market price of wheat, and thereby reduce its price to American wheat producers, to their great injury, if the reports and estimates of the agricultural department are correct; therefore, "Resolved. That the secretary of agriculture be and is hereby directed to send to the senate at his earliest convenience: "1. A statement of all the -wheat, including the visible and the invisible, there was in this country March 1, 1SD3. TJogether with the entire wheat ror harvested In this country during that year. "U. The amount of wheat that has been lisd for fond and seed purposes between March 1, 1SD.3, and Feb. 1, 1SJ4; the amount of wheat that will be required for like purposes in this country between Feb. 1 and July 1. together with the amount of wheat and flour as wheat that has been exported out of this country since Maroh 1, 1S93, with the surplus available for export between Feb. 1 and July 1. 1S94, after deducting the above from the estimated surplus March 1, 18D3, and the entire wheat crop of that year, according to the latest information and most reliable experience found f his department." The resolution courteously assumes that the department's figures are correct, but it will lead to a searching investigation of its methods of crop reporting. If the department's estimates are correct, the price of wheat has been depressed by the statements in the trads Journals, greatly to the injury of the producers. If the Journals are right, the department is responsible for the disappointment in prices which the producers have suffered. The forthcoming report will be read with Interest. . Fattening Lambs. The Michigan experimental station reports some very Interesting experiments In fattening lambs. The animals used in the experiment were sired by a Shropshire ram on common grade Merino ewes. Such lambs are excellent feeders, and they were t urther prepared for feeding by being turned Sept 25 on a fifteen-acre fehl of rape, where they remained thirtyflvo days and gained fifteen pounds each, and were thus in excellent condition when put up Nov. 20. The feed continue! 119 days. In this time ten lots cf lambs, mostly in lots of ten, made an average gain of a trifle more than two and a half pounds per head per week. The largest galn3 were made by lambs having a ration of whole corn, one and one-half pounds with one pound of rutabagas, and what clover hay thy would eat. The next largest and most profitable gain was made from a ration of fourfifths of a pound of oats, with Beventenths of a pound of rutabagas and what clover hay they would eat. As the fattening progressed more grain was eaten and less hay. One lot was given Jell's (Men Mm Cut. A GUARANTEED CUSS. Best egg-producer on earth. Sold by all druggists.

no grain ration except bran. Its gain was less and the profit on feeding was only 21 cents per lamb, while on the corn and clover ration it was 73 cents, and with corn and oats it was 51 cents per head. One lot of five lambs was allowed to feed itself with grain and hay. It ate a large amount of grain and but little hay. This "self feed," as it is called, gave a profit of only 6 cents per lamb, and If the lambs had not been in extra good condition from their feeding on rape the result would have been a loss, and probaly the death of some of the lambs. Large Hop Crop. At a farmers' meeting at Cobleskill, N. Y.. Mr. James F. Clark, a successful hop-grower, read a paper on the subject of securing large hop crops, from which we take the following suggestions: In starting hep yards, the speaker recommended the setting out of roots early in the spring, so that they would get a good start before the hot and dry weather comes on. The ground shuld be thoroughly cultivated and marked in squares of six and a half or seven feet. The roots (from three to five In number) should be set in holes that are drilled at the intersection of the marks, deep enough and rimmed out so as to admit roots without crowding each other. The roots should be slightly covered, as they will rapidly sprout and come out of the ground. Each setting should be marked by a stick set on the north side, so that the line of settings may be readily seen and so that the root3 may not be disturbed in cultivating. Mr. Clark urged that the soil be kept mellow and free from weeds by the free use of the cultivator, which should be run three times through each row. once a week. Mr. Clark recommended the use of rotted manure upon the hills in the fall, protecting the roots from the cold better than coarse manure. A shovelful for each hill i3 sufficient: too much manure was injurious to the plant. He preferred one pol- i-2 to 32 feet) for each hill, with the free use of twine for tying, training and supporting the vines and arms, and that the proper use of twine required object lessons and experience. He favored high hilling after cultivating and grubbing, as it grave greater nourishment and moisture to the plant.. The yard should be hilled twice each season, first In June and second in July, and completed by Aug. 1. He recommended the use of bone dust and potash mixture in the hills. Mr. Clark said that unless his yards average 1.600 poundä to the acre he thought the yield was poor. Some of his yards averaged from 2.200 to 2.400 pounds to the acre, and he had produced 2,500 pounds per acre. He urged the importance of clean hops and said he had no doubt the bad picking this year had been a loss to the state of 5 cents per pound of hops grown, or $1.000.000. Mr. Clark's system of storing, mixing and baling was new and important, as it insures a uniform quality to the whole crop. Instead of placing each kiln as it comes along upon the pile until the storehouse Is full, as is usually done, and then commencing to bale at the end of the pile, he spreads the first kiln over the whole surface of the floor of the store-room, and spreads each successive kiln over the whole surface, placing the successive kilns upon each other like the leaves of a book. When he begins to bale he removes the supports from one of the layers and rakes down the ends of the layers or leaves and :by these means the successive layers completely commingle and become a homogeneous mass, and each bale becomes almost absolutely the same in quality.

Rrmovtne Stnlna, Spot, F. p. The following directions for removing stains, spots, etc., must bo used with exceeding caution. Chloroform, benzine, turpentiP", kerosene and gasoline are all dangerous substances unless handled with extreme care: Sponge a grease spot with four tablespoonfuls of alcohol to one of salt. Sprinkle salt over the soot on a carpet and sweep all up together. Rub finger marks from furniture with a. little sweet oil. Tut a lump of camphor in an air-tight case with silverware to keep it from discoloration. Remove paint spot from a window byrubbing a copper cent over them. Sprinkle salt over fresh claret stains. Wash ink stains In strong brine and then sponge with lemon juice. Hold a fruit-stained article over a bowl and pour boiling water through the cloth. Rub egg stains on silver with salt on a damp cloth. Use wood ashes on discolored tableware. Clean steel knives with raw potato dipped in fine brlckdust. Rub brass with hot vinegar and salt and scour with tine ashes. Clean a carpet with a broom dipped in a very weak solution of turpentine in hot water. Cleanse grained woodwork with cold tea. Scour ironware with finely-sifted coal ashes. Soak mildewed clothes in buttermilk and spread on the grass in the sun. Wash rusty gilt frames in spirits of wine. Wash oil cloth with a flannel and warm water, dry thoroughly and rub with a little skim milk. Purify jars by soaking them In strong soda water. Wash blackened ceiling3 with soda water. Rub white spots on furniture with camphor. Rub a stove zinc with kerosene. Cleanse bottles with hot water and fine coals. Remove fruit stains from the hands with weak oxalic acid. Clean jewelry with prepared chalk. Wash hairbrushes in weak ammonia water. Rub stained hands with salt and lemon juice. Remove ink from wood with muriatic acid, after rinsing with water. Wash japanned ware with a little lukewarm sud.-. Rub mirrors with spirits of wine. Apply spirits of salt to ink-stained mahogany. Use sulphuric add, wash off with suds, for medicine stains on silver. Remove oil stains from wall paper by powdered pipe clay moistened. Use gasoline for removing paint. Use Jewelers' rouge and lard for rubbing nickel plating. Wash willow ware with salt water. Clean hard finished walls with ammonia water. Rub whitewash spots with strong vinegar. Rub soft grease over tar and then wash In warm soda water. Dip a. soft cloth in vinegar and rub on smoky mica. Sponge faded plush with chloroform. Take paint out of clothing by equal parts of ammonia and turpentine. To remove machine oil from satin use benzine. Re careful about having a light in the room, as it is very explosive. Yams and Sweet Potatoes. A recent bulletin of the Texas agricultural experiment station says that the vineless bunch yams and early bunch yams are one and the same variety; that it originated in Mississippi in 1SS4, and that it is probably a siort of the old-fashioned yam. As to the value of the new variety, the following testimony is given: The vineless is beyond question a great acquisition in sweet potatoes. It has a short, stubby vine, which seldom grows over two and a half feet long. It can be planted closer in the rows, ultivated and dug easier than the running varieties. The tubers grow in a bunch near the surface. It stood the drought better here last season than the other thirty varieties (tested at the station), and ranked second in yield. The table quality ranked equal to the best when dug. It produces slips abundantly. The tubers are smooth and rather above the medium size. In regard to the value of sweet potato vines the bulletin says: "Farmers usual

ly allow the tops to decay on the ground. They make an important feed for stock, and especially for dairy cattle. This is true in particular of the tops of the vineless, which remain green during very severe droughts when grass usually is scorched and killed by a burning sun and dry winds. Since they grow in bunches, and stand up well, they can be cut with a mowing machine and put up like regular forage crops." !vl I Horse Note Early colts should be weaned early to give them a good run cn grass before cold weather. Colts that are foaled after the middle of June should not be weaned till the middle of winter, and fall colts should not be weaned until nearly spring. No one should attempt to wean a colt until It has learned to eat and drink well with its mother, then shut her up till the colt gets quiet and it seldom frets. The most reliable statistics show that there has been a very great falling off in the total number of horses fcn America during the past year, and it is claimed that, while from the time they were first Introduced in this country there had been a steady and quite rapid increase up to 1892, reaching at that time not only a greater total than ever before, but that it wa3 then greater than is likely ever to be reached again. As soon as the driver sees the disposition to run in the horse he is driving let him begin the rapid jerking, first on one

, line and then on the other, not gently. but with such force as to bring the bridle-bit from one side to the other through the horse's mouth. This new motion so confuses the animal that all other fear It taken away. From many years' driving I have never found this method to fall on the most refractory horse. Of course you should never drive any horse without the best of strong leather, that will stand any strain you need to put on it. So little care and attention has been given of late years to individual excellence in trotting and light-harness horse breeding that a considerable proportion of those bred within standard lines did not have speed enough to be valuable for track purposes, were not large enough for gentlemen's drivers, and their owners have now found to their sorrow that this class cannot be sold solely from their pedigrees looking well on paper; consequently, for more than a year, auction sales have been overrun with a class of stock that was only salable as streetcar horses, and hardly for that purpose, there being so many more than are needed in the market. The raising of draft horses has brought millions of dollars to American farmers. The grade draft horses -for several years sold for $200 to $300 and have for years made more money to the farmer than any other stock, and if he has wisely Kept his grade draft mares he is now in condition to make more money than with any other stock. True, the prices are down, but high grade draft horses still sell for double the price of small horses. The market reports quote good draft horses from $100 to $150 and light harness horses $50 to $75, yet the great majority of horses marketed are of the small, worthless kind. Just as srrub cattle fill the markets at 2 to 2H cents, while expert high grades sell rapidly for 5 cents. A car load of extra good draft horses from Ohio recently sold at Chicago for $135 a piece to eastern shippers. Many horses are bought young from the West and matured in Ohio and Pennsylvania. It pays the farmer and breeder better to mature and break the draft horses ready for market. Those colts can earn their own feed from two to five years old at farm work, and if well fattened and broke to work and heavy always sell well. Yalnable neclpes. Cream Cookies One cup sour cream, ono cup of butter, two cups of s;jgar. two eggs, one teaspoonful of soda, flour enough to roll out. Flavor to taste. Roll thin and then bake in a quick oven. Potatoes Fried Whole Take small, cold-boiled potatoes, dip them In beaten egg and roll in fine bread crumbs; repeat the operation, and fry a golden brown in boiling lard. This makes a nice dish for breakfast or luncheon. Fried Celery Cut large stalks of celery iu three pleoes. Boil till tender; then dip each piece into a batter made with two eggs and a few spoonfuls of milk. Roll them in fine bread crumbs and fry brown in butter. I,emon Vinegar To make this excellent substitute for lemon juice carefully grate the yellow rind from five lemons and squeeze the juice from three, dlsI carding the white skin, pith and seeds. Put the rind, juice and pulp in one quart of cider vinegar, in a glass fruit jar, let stand two weeks, strain and bottle. Celery Salt Celery seed which is too old to germinate, but excellent for culinary purposes, can often be purchased cheaply of seedsmen. Look over carefully, wash, dry quickly in a current of air and grind fine. Add three parts of dry salt to one of celery, sift together several times, then bottle and cork tightly. Horseradish Vinegar Add one tablcspoonful of granulated sugar and one ttaspoonful of salt to three fourths of a teacupful of grated horseradish; put the mixture in a quart glass fruit jar, fill the latter with strong cider vinegar and let stand five days, shaking several times a day. TlK"! strain the same as onion vinegar and bottle. Entire Wheat Bread with Sour Milk ana Baking Soda Two coffee cupfuls of entire wheat, one coffee cupful of white flour, one teas poor, ful of molasses, two teaspoonfuls of baking soda, one ttaspoonful "f salt, and sour milk enough to make a batter a trifle stiffer than cup cake. Bake in moderate oven one-half to three-quarters of an hour. Makes two medium-sized loaves. Savory Soup In two 'quarts of good soup stock add one god-sl.zed onion.two carrots, one large turnip, two or three stalks of celery, a few sprig3 of parsley, one leek (leaves and all), a dash of red pepper, a level teaspoonful of salt and a little white pepper, onethird of a teaspoonful of curry powder and two lumps of sugar. Cook an hour and a half, then strain and thicken very slightly. Sheep Kidneys a la Tartare Take five or six kidneys, cut each one through without dividing it, take off the skins and season highly with pepper and salt. Dip each kidney into melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Pass a small skewer through the white part to keep them flat, and boil them six or eight minutes over a clear fire. Serve them with the hollow part uppermost, and fill each hollow with sauce. Spiced Vinegar Put half an ounce each of ground mustard, ginger, white pepper, mace and dried lemon peel, onefourth of an ounce each of cloves, allspice and cinnamon, half a saltspoonful of cayenne and one ounce of celery salt into a quart glass fruit Jar and fill it with scalding hot vinegar. Adjust the rubber and cover while hot, let stand three days, shaking often, then strain through cheese-cloth and bottle. To Roil Onions Whole Skin them: and boil them twenty minutes, and pour off the water entirely. Then put in equal parts of hot water and milk, or skimmed milk alone, and boil them till tender. When they are done through take them up with a skimmer, let them drain a little and lay them in a hot dish. Make a good drawn butter of milk, thickened with corn starch, add butter and salt; let it boil till sufficiently thick. Pour over the onions and serve. Meat Souffle. Make a cream sauce of one pint of milk, two generous tablespoonfuls of butter, two heaping tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, half a teaspoonful of salt and season with chopped parsley; stir one cupful of chopped meat chicken, veal, or lamb Into the sauce. While hot add the beaten yolks of two eggs; stir well and set away t cool. When cool stir In the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Cake In a buttered dish or cups 20 minutes. Onion Vinegar Pare and chop fine thiee large white onions; mix with them two tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar and one of salt; place the mixture on a plate and stand It for three hours in a slow oven or In the sun. Then put In a quart glass fruit Jar. fill the latter v.'lth strong cider vinegar, put 00. tha

rubber band, cover and let stand two week3, shaking three times each day. Strain through cheese-cloth; bottle, cork tightly and keep n a cool place. Brown Eread with Entire Wheat and Yeast Two quarts of sifted flour (entire wheat), one quart of lukewarm water, two tablespoonfuls of lard, twothirds cupful of molasses, one yeast cake, one teaspoonful of salt, one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls of soda Stir well together; let it stand over night in a moderately warm place to rise. In the morning stir well together again, as this bread is not to be kneaded; half fill pans, and rise again until pans are full. Cake in hot oven. Roast Leg of Pork Select a fine small leg of pork,-keep the skin on, and score it in regular stripes of a quarter of an inch wide, with the point of a sharp knife. Cut a flit in the knuckle, raise the skin, put under it some nice sage end onion stuffing and fasten it with a small skewer. Put it into the oven and baste frequently. Just before it is done moisten the skin all over with a little butter, dredge it with flour and let it get brown and crisp. When done put it in a hot dish, pour a little gravy made in the dripping pan around it, and serve with apple sauce. Orange Charlotte Line the sides of a border mold carefully with greased paper. Weight five eggs, take their weight in sugar, and half their weight in flour. Beat the yolks of the eggs thoroughly, add the sugar and beat again. Add the grated rind of half a Mediterranean orange, and a tablespoonful of the juice. Add the whites beaten to a stiff froth and then stir in the flour gradually and thoroughly. Pour the cake mixture into a mold and bake in a moderate oven. When cold turn out upon the dish in which it is to be served. Fill the center of the cake with whipped cream flavored with orange and a tablespoonful of maraschino, or two tablespoonsfuls of sherry- Serve with a border of whipped cream. Hominy, . Boiled and Fried. Take a pint of hominy, pour cold water over It, stir and let it settle. Then pour off the water. Do this- twice; then put iit to soak in three pints of water or milk over night. In the morning, put it over to cook in a double boiler, add a little salt, and stir often. If it becomes so thick as not to stir easilv, add more water or milk. It should be just thick enough to settle down smooth soon in a deep dish. Fine hominy will cook In two hours, the coarse requires three. It is very nice eaten with cream and sugar. To fry it for breakfast slice it about half an inch thick and lay it on a griddle greased with nice beef drippings or butter. It will take about fifteen minutes to brown both sides. Use only the fine for frying. AUBREY GETS LOUD.

He Boast What the Army Will Do and Sergt. Lnpnrte Clones His Mouth. Sunday afternoon, while "Gen." Frye was telling the audience at Tomlinson hall what Christ would do were he to pay an unexpected visit to Indianapolis, the lesser light, "Col." Aubrey, availed himself of the opportunity to speak to about five hundred curious people who gathered in front of the barracks on Blake-st. The "colonel" was very rank in his remarks and made a speech which was sufficient to cause his arrest. After telling the people what a curse to the country the monopolist was. he explained what the army would do when it marched Into Washington. He said at the present time there were about fifteen thousand pilgrims bound for the nation's capital and a.3 the cause was growing rapidly, he believed that inside of two weeks nearly a million laboring men would be on the same errand. "When we arrive there," said he, "we will say to congress, here we are. now what are you going to do with us? They will give us something, you can bet nrj that, and it will be best for them to do so. A million starving men are likely to cause troubl and if they absolutely refuse to do anything for us we will take possession of the capitol." Sergt. Laporte was an uninterested listener to Aubrey's wild talk and when this point was reached he could restrain himself no longrr. He called "Col." Salisbury down fmm the platform and told him to inform Aubiey that he would have to stop or he would arrest him. Salisbury carried out his instructions and Aubrey's speech was cut short. Laporte then dispersed the crowd and allowed no further speech-making. Aubrey afterward tried to explain the matter, but Laporte understood him and refused to listen. AGAINST BRECKINRIDGE. Judge Bradley Overrules the Motion fov a New Trial. WASHINGTON. April 2S. Judge Bradley today overruled the motion of counsel for Representative W. C P. Breckinridge for a new trial of the celebrated Breckln-ridge-Follard breach of promise suit. Bond was fixed at $100 for an appeal which Breckinridge's counsel gave notice would be taken to the court of appeals of the D'strtct pi Columbia. LOUISVILLE, April 2?. A special to the Courier-Journal from Lexington, Ky., says: The antl-Brecklnridge people in the Seventh congressional district have issued a pamphlet written by Prof. J. Ii. Jones of Hamilton female college here. The book is entitled "An appeal to the people of Ashland district for purity in the house and morality in public life, and a protest against the re-election of Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge." The Question of Obscenity. WASHINGTON. April 28. Whether the stories of the Breckinridge-Pollard trial as published by a Chicago firm is to be al-low-ed to pass through the mails or not will depend upon the action of the postmaster at Chicago, where the books are mailed. As is customary in such cases the department will ignore the request for an official opinion as to whether sending them through the mails will constitute violation of the postal laws and no action will be taken unless Postmaster Hesing makes complaint of obscenity. AN INCENDARY'S WORK. Flames Sweep a. Ijre Section of Tahleqnah. TAHLEQUAII, I. T., April 27.-By a fire which started this morning and which is believed to have been the work of an Incendiary, the Capital city was threatened with total destruction. The fire originated In the immense livery stable of John W. Wilson, in the heart of the city. The building was quickly consumed, together with thirty valuable horses. A brisk wind carried the flames across Main-st. and the spread waa rapid. The fire department being equipped none too well, hail an uneven fight, and for a time the whole city seemed doomed. In two hours, however, the wind died out. Soon thereafter the fire was put under control, but not until fourteen business houses and one dwelling were burned to the ground, caus'ng a loss of JSO.OOO.

AS TO THIS MAN OWEN,

1VIIO WAS FORMERLY HARRISON'S IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER. tVnll Holding- That Position He Gave a, St. Lonli Man Permission to Import Welchmen Inder Contract to "Foster McKinley Tariff Industries" Assistant Secretary Xettleton Tried Hard to Have Ovren Removed, Hut the Exigencies" of the Case Demanded Iii Retention Ensley's Case. The adoption by the republicans of Indiana in their recent state convention of a. platform declaring In favor of a strict enforcement of the immigration laws is creating a large amount of amused criticism in view of the fact that they. In the same convention, placed at the head of their ticket as their candidate for secretary of state a man who was notorious in his violation of the national laws regarding the Importation of foreign labor when he held the position of commissioner of immigration under President Harrison, who sat in the convention and never winked an eye when the plank was passed. The Rev. W. D. Owen created for himself a national reputation that no one ever, tried to take away from him when, as commissioner of immigration, he granted permission to Nidrlnghaus, the St. Louis manufacturer, to import Welchmen. Into this country in direct violation of the contract labor law. This permission was given to Nidringhaus in writing, and the open violation of the law was Justly condemned by the entire country at the time, as well as by other officers of the tame administration. Mr. Owen received a very severe letter from Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Xettleton, and the long and bitter controversy between the men threatened for a time to disrupt the Harrison administration. The controversy was carried on for many months, Mr. Xettleton very justly Insisting upon the removal from office of a man who had so little regard for the law, and whose action cast a stain upon the entire administration. But the national republican convention was to be held In a short time and Benjamin Harrison was too shrewd a politician, If not too conscientious a moralist, to add to the strength of the antiHarrison faction in this state by the removal of Owen at that time, and he was allowed to remain in office. The order was issued to Nidringhaus by Owen without the permission of the secretary of the treasury, but with the full approval and cognizance of President Harr&on, as was acknowledged at the time. Owen acknowledged that he had issued the order to Nidrlnghaus, but while the long controversy was being carried on between himself and Nettleton he attempted to justify his action in a letter to the latter by claiming that he allowed the Welchmen to be imported under contract because they were to work on new industries fostered by the McKinley tariff. But as the law did not make any exception of tin-plate campaign factories the excuse met with little favor and the violation of the law stood out as prominently as ever. These facts stand out in bold contrast to the action of the Harrison convention this week when this same man Owen was placed at the head of the ticket. Both the ex-president and the candidate for secretary of state were clearly guilty of violating the immigration laws when they were in power, and the only valid reason that can be assigned for the adaption of the immigration plank in the rlatform by the convention Is that it was in the nature of a gentle reminder by the delegates to their ex-president and candidate that if it should so chance that they are returned to power they should pay some attention to the laws of the country in general and the law against the importation of foreign labor under contract in particular. Politics sometimes produces sonis very amusing situations. A "Mistake" Alleged. It now develops that a mistake on the part of the secretaries of the republican convention had more than it ought to have had to do with the nomination of Alexander Hess for reporter of the supreme court. On the first ballot it was announced that Hess had received the highest number of votes, 73; that Oliver P. Ensley had received the next highest number, 61, and that the total number of votes cast was 1,711. The entire vote as announced was as follows: Brown 11 McClelland 132 Tichenor 239 Tuthill 239 Ensley 61 Hess 273 Black 213 Harvey .1 7 That would make a total of only 1611 and the friend3 of Mr. Ensley, who claim to have seen the original tallysheet, claim, that this 100 votes which were "shy" should have been credited to Ensley. The fact that there were a half dozen secretaries and that they all made the same "mistake" looks suspicious to the same friends, but they are not saying any more than that it is their belief that this had considerable to do with Ensley's defeat. Hess, showing the most strength on the first ballot, caught a large element which Is always anxious to support the strongest man in order to get the matter over with as soon as possible. The claim is made that had the result of the ballot been correctly announced Ensley would have received this support and the nomination would have fallen to him. The further claim is made that the "mistake" began in the call of Adams and Allen counties, which gave Ensley 45 votes that were put down In Hess's column. ' i.lLi. The Late Nominations. The nominee of the republican party for Judge for the first district was J. II. Jordan of Martinsville. He was opposed by only one candidate, Silas D.

defeated Judge Coffey, that element being unfriendly to him on account of his participation in the decision against them in the Stehlin liquor case. It is also believed that the county officers' organization contributed largely to hi3 defeat on account of the fee and salary law decision. The vote was close and was the occasion of much wrangling the charge being made that the vote was not correctly counted. It was as follows: Jordan , 8532 Coffey S552 It took two ballots to choose a candidate for Judge of the supreme court for the Fourth district, the candidates for the nomination being K. M. Forkner of New Castle, D. W. Comstock of Richmond and J. L. Monks of Winchester. The latter was nominated by the following vote: Monks n: Forkner 34 Comstock 422 The first ballot for this nomination gave Monks 7S3 1-3 votes; Forkner. 437 1-3; Comstock. 472 1-3. The convention was in session seventeen and one-half hours without recess.

EICHRED 0T OF IT. Hovr Lovett of Anderson Was Treated nt the Republican Convention. ANDERSON. April 27. Is much dissatisfaction over the result of the vention at Indianapolis It now develops that this city was deprived Special. There In this county republican conWednesday. Mr. Lovett of of many votes on the first and second ballots which were evidently credited to Mr. Loveland of Peru. This was done either through confusion of names or willfully, and it is difficult to determine which. There is a similarity between the names of Loveland and Lovett, and in the din and confusion incident to the call of counties it appears that Madison county's thirty-six votes were credited to Loveland instead of Lovett. On the first ballot this gave Loveland 374 and Lovett 33G, when it should have been Loveland 33S and Lovett 372. This would have placed Lovett second in the race on the first ballot instead of fourth, and how many other mistakes there were of a similar character on the first call is not known. It is believed by Lovett's friends that there were others. Had he been given proper credit on the first ballot Lovett would have appeared as the most formidable candidate in the race. With the prestige of being the second in the race, there is no telling what would have been the result of the second ballot. Lovett had made a splendid canvass. He was personally known to a large number of delegates and every one conceded his ability as a lawyer and a campaigner. It is now firmly believed that had he been given a fair deal, or had the votes cast for him by the various counties been properly credited, he would have been the nominee for attorney-general on the second ballot. Lovett is not saying anything about this matter himself, but bis friends are feeling muh chagrined. Madison county stayed with Mr. Lovett to the last. TILL THEN WAIT. When We Know the Traitors Then We Will Get Genuine TarifT Reform. To the Editor Sir: I wish to say a few words In commendation of the course The Sentinel has taken on the tariff question. Regarding the action of the United States senate, or rather the inaction of that body. The Sentinel has taken a noble stand on this subject, which I heartily indorse. We do not as faithful democrats take the outspoken interest in this matter that we should. Every time a democrat cries out "Let us have every pledge of the Chicago platform fulfilled and redeemed" say we want the Wilson bill, pure wifhout a blemish. It is not what wo expected, but it would satisfy if we could get It just as It came from the house, but not in its present butchered up and mangled form. If every democrat in Indiana would write his own views to our senators I am sure the above would represent nlnety-nine-one-hundredths of them. This reform must come, if not now. when we come to know the traitors in our ranks; then we shall know who to return to the senate; then we shall have tariff reform as advocated by father drover Cleveland. To rule or ruin Is as bad In its effects as rum. Romanism and rebellion. Hoping for the welfare and progress of The Sentinel and the ultimate victory of the democratic party and principles; hoping those few lines, but badly written, but in faith, will appear in the columns of the good old Sentinel so the people will know how I stand as une faithful democrat, and you will find mv name on The Sentinel record. I am yours truly. JAMES JAR ROE. Lilly, Terry county, Indiana, April 16. MYSTERIOUS MURDER. Well Known Lawyer of Rnffalo Found Dying; on the Street. BUFFALO, N. Y., April 2S.
