For the friends of economy and equal rights to divide and waste their energy would be political suicide. _ The call for a “National Conference” at Cincinnati, May 19, is not limited to farmers, but includes Independents, Uniou Labor, Federal end Confederate soldiers, Citizens’ . Alliances, Knights of Labor, Colored, * -Farmers* Alliance, etc. , | .Query : Is there in Pike coufity a man ninety-fire years old, ora wnnan who it ninety-seven ? If so, who are they?

The female farm-buying swindler Is still plying her vocation, her latest transaction .being near Dupont.—Columbus Herald. _ swindler buys a farm, pays a «mali sum down “to bind the bar* gain,” and geta good money in change as the difference between the stipu* Jated sum and a convenient counterfeit hundred dollar bill. The Republicans are very free in their criticisms of the new tax law. 'I'bey were also very free in criticising the school book and election laws of itgro years ago. The people have found by an actual trial that both of these laws are good ones. They will ~4. also find that the tax law is one of equity and right. Beware of Republican gritics. ~ __ Republicans insist that there is no deficiency in the treasury; that the ldilion dollar bugs did not expend the surplus aud more too. How then do they account for the circular of Secretary Foster asking an extension of time ou bonds Boon ' to fall due ? Premiums were paid on 4% per cents by the last administration in order to lessen the debt. Now, when part of it is due and could be had at par there |s uo money lo pay the bonds. Reciprocity and free trade are one aud the same thing. If it be an absolute necessity to the good of the country that au exclusive home market he made, why destroy it by reciprocal trade with foreign nations. Reciprocity appears to he simply jcuocking down the pins which protection sets qp. It is putting into serious operation the idea of the legislator who said he favored a certain law, hut was opposed to its enforcement.— Ex.___ yks the farmers are getting pretty well organized let the word go all along the line to reduce all crops that llo not pay to one-third or one-half what they usually plaut; indulge in uo hurtful habits; organize for and settle all differences by arbitration, and neverccusc agitation unlit all public servants are paid gujy a fair compensation. Then faxes will be reduced and people fare fetter. I think educating the masses will bring this about.”—Indiana Farmer, yfiiOEVEB wrote the following got fhe whole thing down In a nutshell: /‘If you have a nice little farm or husiliens or steady employment and are out of debt, do not fret and work yourself and wife into the grave for the sake of making money. You Jiave but oue life to live, and that is out brief at best. Take a little comfort and pleasure as you go along day jjy day gnd try to do a little good to' pthers.

Hunmkds or boys in Ibis country an growing up to b« posts to society, who would be useful and honored citizens if they wen given Mr oppor - tunities fbr learning trades. It is all very well to open our doors to foreigners, but it is not well to recruit the ranks of skilled labor largely by immigration, as is being done and will continue to be done as long as our boys an limited in their opportunities to learu trades. The evil can best be nached through schools of mechanism conducted to the end of pnparlng competent journeymen. Thu Logausport Pharot "believes that the new tax law in equalising taxation will prove as popular in the end as the new election law and the school book law. It may be a little enormous this year and noxt, but after that time the state levy can be materially reduced. Under the new appraisements some will pay more taxes than heretofore and others will pay less. Those who will be compelled to pay non will be amply able to do so. Those who have hentofon made a true return of their taxables will pay less taxes than formerly.” Mr. Fostxb was selected for Secretary of the Treasury because of bis reputation for adroitness, and he is trying to sustain that reputation by juggling the debt statement. No jugglery, however, will be adroit enough to conceal the deficit. The Kew Tax Law. Much is being said about the new tax law that is mere political buncombe. It has become the custom of politicians to regard every act of the opposite party as being against one class or another, and the new tax taw is construed as being against the fanners, wheu truth is it is a9 fair for the farmers as for any other class. A careful reading of the law shows that the only difference between it and the old law is in the wording as to the value of. property. The old law spying: "All property shall be returned to the assessor at its fair cash valne,” and the new law saving: “All property shall be assessed at its true cash value”; the only difference being “fair cash value” and “truk cash value.” It is claimed by republican politicians that the farmer cannot hide his land; hence it will be over-assessed. If the assessor does his duty no man can hide his property or give in a false list without committing peijury. All property, of whatever description, must be listed at its true cash value, in-' stead of its fair cash value, as under the old law, and if this is done taxes will not be increasdtMP per cent, as is claimed, but will rmRV be reduced. For instance: If $100,000 at a “fair cash ralue” nnder the old law should raise$25,000 of revenue; and uuder the new law the same properly, at a “true cash value,” shall be assessed at $200,000, and $25,000 is the amount of revenue to be raised, can’t you see that the per cent, oq cadi $100 valu-; ation will be reduced one-bait? A certain amount of revenue must be raised each year, and the more equal the assessments of property the more evenly will the burdens fall upon the masses. But, if the new law is unjust and discriminates against the farmers, who should be blamed? Forty-four farmers were in the Legislature and voted for the new law, believing it to be better than the old law. Politicians who write political editorials for political sake only, place a low estimate on the farmers of the last Legislature.—Oakland City Jiecord.

Good Roads. The demand for them is growing more imperative. The agitation for improved systems of road construclion and road maintenance has become so general throughout the country that it may be fairly said to have attained the dignity of a popular movement. The subject is calling forth articles by writers of authority in our leading magazines and weekly journals, in the bulletins of scientific societies and in pamphlets issued by. various associations organized for economic reform. The sentiment in favor of reform in this matter would be still more urgent if the mass of the people had any experimental knowledge of the superiority of good roads over poor ones. When farmers' cau be shown by actual practice that good roads, by enabliug them to double their loads, add to the value of everything carried away to sell, save minutes or hours every da)', which amount to days and weeks in the year, and bring them closer to markets, and amusements and schools, and churches, they will urgently demand a reform which promises to add ao much to their comfort and profit. And they will be still more eager for this improvement when they find that it costa $1 to keepiu repair a good macadam road instead of the $5 which they have been paying in taxea to maintain the same length of dirt road, upon which, even in fair condition, three horses are required to haul the load which oue can draw on property metaled eurface.—Garden and Forest. That Tab. ‘‘Every tub sits on its own bottom.'’ Do you understand? The maxim is true only when viewed in its true meaning. It is at variance with the condemnation of that first sarcastic question,“Am I my brother’s keeper ?” A tub may and will ait on its own bottom if somebody seta it that way . Suppose you place it on its side, or oven invert it—what then? In this age, and in all previous ones, as to that, eyery ipau is his brother's keeper and every tab sits as It Is set by those whom it serves. As every man is affeeted by M* surroundings, m every other man In the surroundings is mere or las* responsible for what tbsl iftati is.

A CAWHUW FACTOKT. ■MM «Mha Adraatag« 0l>r*4 It la Petersbaaf -li Af»Ml for Ami* Obb t. Taka B» tfaWark, Now that the butter and cheese faetory I* to assured acquisition to Pe- i tersburg’s indostrial pursuit lot some enterprising person or persons take op the work of securing a canning factory, and push it with the vim so commendable au undertaking deserves. .Shares of stock could and should be placed at a small amount each* so that persons of moderate means could take an absolute and active interest in the concern, thus »ot only assuring to them a good market for the fruits and vegetables of their orchards, gardens and fields that without the factory yearly go to waste or at best find a dull and almost worthless sale, but will return a handsome profit 6n the investment that furnishes the eager, active market. Tho soil and climatic conditions of this immediate section make the undertaking a feasible one,and which, with anything approaching correct business management, will insure its ultimate success. No other country can easier or more surely produce au abundance of sweet corn, tomatoes, berries and fruits of all kinds, pumpkins, squashes, etc., which can be hermetically preserved aud put upon the market at astonishing rates of profit. And no other town can offer a better site for the establishment of such a concern. Plenty of good, pure water, millions of tons of the bcst^fucl at prices almost too insignificaut to enter into the item of expense, sandy loam,well drained; plenty of workingmen, handy to great wholesale markets, and the center of a community naturally adapted to the cultivation of products necessary to keep a factory busy most of the year^an advantage rarely enjoyed by canneries in other places—a fact that alone promises a continuous golden shower to the lucky investors in the enterprise. Besides saving the fruits and vegetables that now go to waste and converting them into good coin of the realm, the factory would create a demand for the production of quantities vastly more than would or could be taken care of in any other way, and thus the demand for labor would be largely augmented both by increase of work in field and factory, and all classes enabled to reap an abundant reward for the capital and labor expended in the establishment of the enterprise. Tub Democrat hopes that some one who has the good of the town and community at heart will make an effort to secure the undertaking.

Slugger SullirM sad General Lew • Wallace. Indianapolis News. John L. Sullivan, the pugilist, now an actor man, while here reoently loafed around the Bates House corridors a great deal, assuming picturesque attitudes and trying to make a hero of himself. “Sullivan came in here,” said Professor Knox, of. the Bates House bar-ber-shop, “with two companions. He paid the hill for all, amounting to 42.50, gave the barber whp shaved him 50 cents extra, paid the porter a quarter, and just threw his money around. The doors and windows were crowded with tateu and women anxious to see him, and a number of women came into the shop to gaze on the prize-fighter. lie swaggered in and out of tho place, and appeared delighted with the attention ho. attracted. While he was in here, another man came in, a quiet, unassuming and retiring gentleman. He attracted no particular attention, and modestly hid himselt belli ml a newspaper. One was a big, over-grown animal, that can hardly read or write, and is taken around the country as an attraction fo^a show. The other was a man distinguished in war, noted in the world of literature, an American of Americans, oue of the foremost authors of the age, a diplomats who has held important positions abroad for his country. It was a strange commentary on people who paid homage to John L. Sullivan and didu’t know Gen. Lew Wallace. There are some curious phases in the .composition of this Americau people.” SIX HUNDRED MEN IDLE. General Strike Among the Miners of This City. Wasblngtou-Gnaettr. For several days trouble has been brewing in the mines of. Cabel ft Co. It was caused by the discharge of Horatio Logan, a young driver, for an alleged misdemeanor. The boss driver in Maple Valley miue discharged him and the workmen of that miue were appealed to and they asked that Logan be reinstated and the boss driver discharged. The request, so far as young Logan was concerned, was complied with, but the company refused to discharge the boss driver. This fact was communicated to the other miners and a strike was declared. About six hundred men are now idle on account of the difficulty. How to Make a Good Town.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN; KDITKD »T ADDIE WORTH AM “ Wine it a Mocker.” V “Wait, abstainers; every year Vladicaica oar florious plan; Time remudi ea«-fa pioneer That dears a higher path for man." V The National Temperance Society sends out 150,000 copies of temperance papers each month. Sir Wm. Gull, F. IS. S., physician to Her Majesty, says: “I should say, from my experience, that alcohol Is the most destructive agent that we are aware of iu this country. * * * I would like to say that a very large number of people in society are dying day by day, poisoned by alcohol, but not snpposed to be poisoned by it.” $900,000,000 are .spent for strong drink each year—the direct loss. The indirect loss is, from reliable sources, estimated as follows: Lost labor of drinkers. .1 400.000 000 Lost lalmr of liquor dealers,.. .. 380,000,000 Lost later of non-drinkers in consequence. 40,000,000 Insanity and disability . 1?!000,000 Crime.,. 37,000,000 Sickness . 100.000,000 Total Indirect loss . 1002,000,000 Total direct loss ... . . 000,000,000 Grand total loss . *1,802,000,000 This appalling yearly loss, direct and indirect, robs the butcher, baker, grocer, dry goods dealer, boot and shoe maker, and every other dealer in the ne&utaries and comforts of life. It takes the clothing from the backs of millions of people, despoils the laborer, multiplies taxes, fills jails and penitentiaries, fosters crime, debauchee womanhood and childhood, and brings woe, misery, disease and death along its pathway.
