Pike County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 5, Petersburg, Pike County, 20 June 1874 — Page 2

THE DEMOCRAT W. P. KNIGHT, L. J. CAMPBELL, } Editors. Saturday, June 20,1874,, The Democrat will be furnishcd to Campaign subscribers from this time until the week alter the election lor 56 cents In advance.. No name entered on onr books without the Cash. Mistake. The types made us state last week that the Democratic State Convention had been \ postponed—it should have read -‘The Ohio Democratic State Convention has been postponed until the 26th of August," but some how the compositor left the word Ohio out, which made the mistake. Ours will-take place on the 15th of July. The entire Democratic State ticket of Oregon is elected. The Senate stands; 11 Republicans, 9 Democrats, and 2 Independents. The House stands: 16 Republicans, 22 Democrats,, 11 Independents. It is said that Indinapolis was never so crowded with broken down and played out politicians, as on the day of the Farmers’ Convention. Having given up all hope of ever reaching office in the old parties, they were there to accept crumbs from the new organization; but they were disappointed.

The Indianapolis JoioiwUs down on its knees, begging not to be forgotten by the Grangers. It claims that it has been the persistent friend of the organisation from its very inception, and especially approved its purpose “to purify polities and put good men in office.” But from its tone we conclude that it has been nnable to make the farmers “see it in that light.” A TEHRIBI.E tornado passed over the village of Tampico, Whiteside county, 111., the 6th inst.. destroying twenty-one dwellings and damaging every house in townSeveral persons were seriously wounded. Op Sunday afternoons heavy storm visited Troy, N. Y.vand blew down an iron bridge across the Hudson which falling into the river sunk four canal boats that were lying under it. x a ^ _ Some startling rumors come from the White House. President Grsjnt, it is asserted, will veto the Civil Rights bill, advocate specie resumption at a very early day, and separate himself from the Re- ' publican party. But where will he go%— It may be that he will spend a few days ~~^bigJdissouri farm where hayseed fills the air and attempt to impose himself on the Grangers. - * « «•»-■» ». Ose hundred and twenty thousand dollars for furniture for Mr. Fish’s department don't look much like economy. It is only a few years since the same building was furnished sumptuously for Mr. Seward. How it comes to need refurnishing now, passes comprehension, and how it comes to need such costly furnishing, is than can be guessed. It is the time *f »oonomy, you know, and the great party is cutting things down, observe. The July number of Demorest’s Monthly Magazine has an unusual array of attractive novelties in literature 'as well as a gfand display of the Summer Fashions.— JSi magazine that comes to our table pre- .. bents such a rare combination of attrae tions as Demorest’s Monthly. We see by the announcement in its prospectus foe 1875, that a choice of the two valuable, largo-and popular Chromos, “The Captive Guild” and “The Old Oaken Bucket,” by Jerome Thompson, are now offered to all $3 yearly subscribers, to commence with the July number, 1874. Address W. J. Demobest, 17 East 14th Street, New Ybrk. Last year we opened our eyes and mouths to marvel over the immensity of the California wheat crop, and this year we are still further astounded by the information that the crop of 1873 will be more than doubled. The area under cultivation is upwards of 2,000,000 acres, 30f|,000 acres more than last year, and the yield i/i extraordinarily fine. The total crop is estimated at a minimum figure of 35,090,OW bushels, leaving 25,000,000 bushels for export—nearly twice the greatest amount that California has ever furnished for exportation, more than all the rest of the United States exported last year, and twiee .as much as Russia exported from her great grain districts on the 'Danube. California’s gold yield is a mere trifle compared with this golden shower of grain. . \ 1 '

The Farmers and the Tariff. »■ Z The t ost e'gular, and to us the most un)vci*««lthl,i f»«t connected with the latie Farmer’s Convention at Indinapolis.isth&t the committee on resolutions totally ignor- . ed the subject of the tariff laws. We cannot help believing that this was an oversight on their part. Yet it is in keeping with the bungling t solutions which were adopted as a platfora. It is unreasonable to- suppose that it was intentional, for there is no class of people in the entire country, which is so terribly taxed by our tariff system as the tanners, while thoy derive ns benefit from the tax. In Illinois, the farmers appear to more fully understand that they are taxed to maintain other classes, and that this tax is a direct drain upon their resource*. Hence they demand that a custom shall bo levied with a view to revenue, and not with the intention of prohibiting the introduction of foreign goods, while the protected classes are pocketing immense profits, utterly ignoring the <juesti a of revenue, and making a necessity for a resort to internal taxes, wich immensely increases the coot of government and reinforces the central power with on army of time-serving holders. They farmers may be willing to give even protection to American industries, although against their individual interests, but they would have it for protection, and not to increase the profits of tha ; monopolists. The understand that every ^,«ent of tax above mere protection against foreign importations that may be levied is ed profits to the manufacturer, and aye unalterably opposed to any that increases the price of the article to the consumer

without adding to the revenue of the government, and which places to the credit of these .manafactc rers immense prefits. The farmers of the eountry ore more interested than an;r other body ofthi people in bringing this kind of class legislation to an end, and henoe we were surprised beyond measure at the notable absence of any allusions to it in the platform of the Indiana fanners. Equal laws for all classes is what the farmem demand, with exclusive privileges to none, and the Democratic party has ever labored to sconro this result, and hence the interest of the agriculturists is best promoted by giving it their support.—£N. A. Ledger Standard. ' Grape Grower's Maxims. BV A. S. FULLER. 1. Prepare the 'round in the fall, plant in the spring. 2. Give the vino plenty of manure, old and well decomposed; for fresh manure excites growth, but it does not manure it ”5. Luxuriant growth-does not always insure fruit. 4. Dig deep, but plant shallow. 5. Young vines produce beautiful fruit, but old vines produce the richest. 6. Prune in autum to insure growth, but prune in spring tc promote fruitfulness. 7. Plant vounr vines before you put up trellises. 8. Vines, like soldiers, should have good arms. 3 * 9. Prune spur:, to one. welll-developed bud, for the nearer the old wood the higher flavored the fruit. 10. Those who prune long must soon climb. 11. Vine leave:) love the sun, the fruit the shade. 12. Every leaf has a bud, at its base, and either a bunch of fruit or a tendril opposite to it. 13. A tendril is an abortive fruit bunch —ra bunch of fruit, a productive tendril. - 14. A bunch of grapes without a healthy leaf opposite, is like a ship at sea without a rudder—it can’f come to port. 15. Laterals are like politicians; if pot checked they are the worst thieves. 16.

FA IR SEX. Three newspapers in Iowa are edited by ladies, and art as full of puffs as their dinner dresses. , There ought to be much women’s rights business in England, for there are 3,453, 381 unmarried, women there. A precept of the Hindoo law says: ■Strike not, even with a blossom, a wife though she be guilty of a hundred faults. The most beautiful of all the women who attended the last turf meeting in the Bois de Boulogne was the wile of General Sickles. i , Women are fas t becoming familiar with politics. We ha re heard of a woman who beleives so thoroughly in inflation that she blows up her husband three times a: day. “Talk about the severs mental labor of men,” says Bert! a, “It takes more hard study to discover the front of a new spring bat than would vrin a case in the Supreme Court against a railroad.” A San Franciscan came home from business, and finding his wife house cleaning added to her labors by cutting his throat mi the clean kitchen floor. Some men bave no feeling lor their wives. Impertinent dandy (a stranger),—“May I have the honor to accompany you, miss,” Cruel young lady.—“Certainly, but keep behind in your proper place. 1 dischargsd my last footman for impertinence.” , It is thoughjt that the ex-Empress Eugenie will gladly emerge from her self imposed retreat it Chiselhurst, where" as yet she seldom stirs out, except to cross the common to the chapel that- holds her husband's remains. jAJBetroit mother does her moral sualion with a club She recently interviewid a rum-seller who had led her boy from I the paths of temperance, and when he ittempted to pus her out of doors, she! beat him with hir club and spoiled every leeanter in the house, i

Patrons of Hastoandrjr. Neosho county, Kansas, Grangers plead their own cases tn the courts. Kansas Grangers are beginning to protest against horse racing at county fairs. The Kansas Farmer says: “Children ratty be admitted to the Grange if they are not too big or sharp.” The Grangers' Warehouse Company, of Lake City, Minn., with a capital of $50,« 000 was organized recently. ° A Grange colony will be established at Faribault, Minn., which is to pay special attention to timber culture. A plowing bee at the farm of a lady Granger near Yuby City, Cal., brought out seventeen gong-plows, and sixty acres of land were turned over. The Master ol' the State Grange of Michigan has decided that “A man following another pursu; t, though he may own a farm tilled by members of his family, is not eligible to membership in the Grange.” The Wisconsin State Grange is about to issue the manual in German. This has kept a great mi my non-English speaking Germans out ol the Order heretofore, and the result will be a large accession from the Germans *■ The Patrons of Indiana hare determined to assist the Stats Agricultural Society in getting np their Fair, aad consequently next fall’s sihibitioa promises to be the most brilliant and succestful ever held in the State. The Grangers of Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and Barry Coo a ties, Michigan, hare organised an association called {he Battle Creak Union Council for the purchasing of thuir commodities. A similar association has headquarters :|t Marshall.

The Grangers of the First Congressional District, Kentucky, will meet at Paducah on the fourth Thursday in July next All farmers, whether they are Grangers or not, will be invited to attend. A barbecue and pic-nic will he held at the Fair Grounds. The State Grange of Nebraska inputting in machinery at Plattsmouth for the manufacture of plows, cultivators, headers, harvesters, and Other agricultural implements. The building is a two-story brick, 40x140 feet Thirty heads of families are employed to commence with. Steam and blast power of the neoessary quantity will be furnished. The Patrons throughout Bawls County, Mo., brve resolved to enoourage home mechanics and home industry, and in consequence the blaeksmiths, wagon makers, etc., are as busy as bees preparing the necessary farming implements for the spring trade. Jf other counties would emulatethe example of Rawls, the mechanics would have but little cause for complaint about the organisation. The Terre Haute Gazette says that articles of incorporation of the Industrial Publishing Company, of Terre Haute, are being prepared, and in few days will be i filed. The capital stock will bo $10,000, in 200shares of $50 each. The object of the company is the publishing of a weekly newspaper to be called the Council and Grange. The new jjtpor is expected to appear in a few days. On the 9th of April, 1873, there were but thirty-five Grange organisations in Ohio. Now there are nine hundred and fifty. Since the 1st of,January the applications have averaged one hundred and twenty five per month; now the average is ninety. 1 No Grange has gone out of existence since the organization of the State Grange." This arises from the judicious jurisdiction law which keeps the Order healthy. The 'financial affa'rs of the State Grange are very prosperous. An Alabama Patron says the Grange to which he belongs has adopted a resolution to plant but one-third of the land devoted Jo eorn and cotton,. in cotton and plenty of sugar-cane, potatoes, oats, vegetable of" all kinds; and this fall sow 'Meat. lLast year at this rime the members of this Grange, 30 in number, owed at least $2,000. Now only four members are in debt, and $60 or 70 will discharge them. No commercial fertilizers have been bought this year, but bome-inado manure is being substituted at less cost. Less land is to be planted and better cared for.

HEWS AND GOSSIP. Gen. Sherman'* family will pas* the summer at St. Albans, Yt. The Prussian railroads hare been authorized to raise their charges twenty per cent. Twenty thousand tons of peat are annually abstracted from the marshdN near Montreal for use as fuel Senator Ferry, of Connecticut, is reported to have lately said that “women had no more right to vote than a horse." When a Cincinnati woman shoots at her drunken husband and misses him the newspapers say: “Another bullet wasted.” Scott county, Minn,, contains an extensive Limburger cheese factory. The cheese as declared to be ripe when a peioe the size of a bean will drive a dog out of a tan-yard. Nearly a thousand bills recorded on the books of both houses of Congress have been introduced too late to even secure the action of a committee. Rhode Island is said -to be the only state in*th% union in which the custom is preserved of having the high sheriff to cry the election of the governor from the balcony of the state house on inauguration day. For marrying Miss Rogers, who is 13 years old, Thomas Reedy, of Browley, Mass., has bern sent to the state prison for four years. Technically, it was a case of abduction, and Reedy had already three wives living. The Senate claims committee have agreed to report the House bill with amendments appropriating $7,000,000 to pay the- awards, of the southern claims commissioners in favor of about one million unionists throughout the South. There will be work for county map-mak ers when the Mississippi flood subsides.— The old Father of Waters has been remodeling the country down there without regard to title deeds or country records. Pennsylvania is at last going to have a new and thorough geological survey. For this purpose Governor Hartranft has appointed a commission which in turn is to select the geologists. The name of Prof. Joseph P. Leslie has been spoken of as chief geologist E. E. Woods, of Passumpsic, Yt, has written on a postal eard the Declaration of Independence, the ten commandments, the Lord'd prayer, the 22d psalm, the second epistle of John, the 67th psalm and the 5rst verse of '‘Coronation,” besides the iuperscription to the Boston Journal, the whole work including 2,272 words.

Governor Dis has signed the New York *nd Brooklyn bridge bill. It provides that the necessary amount to be raised for completing the bridge shall be appropriated by the oities of New York and Brooklyn, in sums of $500,000 and $1,000,000 respectively, as the board of constructors shall need it It remains with the common council of the two cities to say whethes the money shall ha raised, and the sense of the community, it is supposed, will be expressed by the action of the municipal authorises in the matter. If one may Judge from a curiohs Massachussetts will dated 1824; the young people of that time and that commonwealth were not renowned for the tender care they took of their venerable fathers and mothers. The old gentleman in making the will in the ancient town of Lexington, bequeathed to his wife, not only the sum of fifteen dollars a year, and enough wood to keep one firo burning, but also three rooms in their farmhouse, “with liberty to pass and repass up the front stairs and out at the front door to either of the wells, and a right to two seals in pew No. 53 in Lexington meeting-house, so long as she shall lire.
