SOUND DEMOCRACY SURVIVES. Tbc Party Still Batatas the Vitality at ' Troth. Thera was little of encouragement, there was much that was disheartening, to the democratic jiarty in the j elections. Those democrats whose loy- j olty to party never Hags entered upon j preparation for the elections this fall ( In various states with old-time enthusiasm, deepened by the hope that democratic lethargy would be shaken otf | and that the party, rousing itself to j old-time vigor, would demonstrate that ; at least it would turn back the tidal wave of republicanism that over- j whelmed the country in 1804, and from i regaiued footing advance to the im- i portant work of the presidential year, j The party has recovered in some di- I rections, it has lost in others. New York, even, if republican this year, may j be made debateuble ground next year. The loss of New Jersey, of Maryland ; and of Kentucky is for the moment j more serious. If Gorman, who was false to his party in legislation of the deejiest concern, is punished in Mary- j land, no explanation is given for demo- I crutic defeat in New Jersey. Yet wo ; may feel sure that upon a full vote iu u j presidential yeai neither Maryland New Jersey nor Kentucky will desert ! democracy. The party’s defeat in New York would have' been larger, had it ; not been for its Championship of per- ; sonal liberty as violated more partieu- j larly in New York city, but even this j assertion of an old-time democratic doc- j trine brought upon the party the re- j proach, effective in rural districts, that j it was merely an ally of the liquor iu- j tcrest. The Chronicle is too ingenuous tc j deny the importance to the republican j party of its present successes at the . polls. Attracting to its ranks the hithsrlo halting and doubtful, it will up- ; proach the presidential year with re- j newed confidence. But its position of j apparent power uu^popularity is also 1 one of danger. Next December a re- j publican house will meet for a lougses- i sion. This iu itself is u great peril. Party leaders will no longer be able to j evade declaration ou the currency ques- j tion. Kepublicuu bosses, finding themselves strengthened by the result of state elections, will be less cautious in their arrogance and will insist, through combination, upon the selection of a j omiuee whose first requisite shall be his subserviency to them. Whoever they nominate and whatever their

course iu congress, the republicans will be compelled to inCfct next year a full, not a partial, vote, and the prestige which is theirs to-day may be greatly impaired or may wholly disappear before next November. Success, though much, is not everything. With unimpaired vigor the democratic party has survived repeuted defeats. It has always been strong, compact, cheerful und aggressive iu adversity. It possesses the vitality of truth,’ the eouruge of honesty, the buoyancy of hope. Taking heart of grace, it will enter the presidential year -with a vigor und determination which will ustouud tLc now jubilant enemy. It will be the same old democratic party, the chum'pion of persouul liberty and religious freedom, the foe of projection, the friend of u soiywLeurreney. Nothing in r^eeht results warrants the slightest departure from the timehonored principles of the party. Let him who will in the face of apparent disaster run after false gods. The party as a whole is loyal to the Lord God of Hosts.—Chicago Chronicle. OHIO AND NEW YORK. An Important Factor iu th« Republican Victor/. Ohio went republican by u greatly reduced majority and Campbell came .very near accomplishing the miraele %hich some of Iris most ardent admirers had credited him with iu advance. Hud he met the divided opposition which has existed iu his state for years past he would have been elected yesterday. Hut because they had seitish interests to serve which could best be advanced by united effort, all factional elements iu the republican party were united. McKinley desires a presidential nomination und could not hope for it should his state show up in the wrong column as the result of the late contest. Forak&r aims for the Uuited States senate, and Bushwell, one of his most devoted followers, was at the head of the state ticket. Because of this the party presented a solid front. In view of this and of the great inroads that Campbell made upon the enemy the republicans can claim nothing better than a disas

trous victory. The state of New York went republican and Tammany carried the city. This is the result that was foreshadowed as soon as the excise law was made the issue of the campaign. The sentiment of the rural districts was so strongly in favor of :t that no other consideration could divert their support from the republican ticket. In New York the law has been made obnoxious by its rigid enforcements* and in this fact Tammany, so recently dethroned to make way lor reform, proved invincible. In this sudden revolution there is raised the question whether it is possible to make successfully operative a law to which a majority of the community where enforcement is sought refuse their sanetion or their obedience. Certain it is that Warner Miller's plank in the platform carried the state and rehabilitated Tammany despite Strong, Parkhurst, Roosevelt, the revelations of the Lexow committee and all the other enginery of reform. It is a great object lesson in favor of local option.—Detroit Free Press. ——Sherman insists that he has been swindled out of the presidency several times, and yet he is among those trying to maintain the flctipn that he belongs to the party of eminent honesty and respectability. The two claims are jtaradoxical, senator. — Detroit Free Press. :_ -Some of the republicans are sorry that John Sherman’s memory was not demonetized in 1$73.—Atlanta Constitution.

AN INCIDENT OF M'KINLEYISM Labor Impoverished tnl Detradrd by PwXtHwKfc I'r.der the tariff protection which is said to be laid primarily for the pm }»<>se of enriching and ennobling American labor manufacturers have amassed colosaai fortunes. American labor has largely disappeared in mills and shops «1l all kinds. Us plnee has been taken by lluns, Polacks, llussians and Italians, imported free, there being no cus-tom-house tax upon labor. Pampered by republican legislation of more than a quarter of a century, laid in its excesses us a war measure and maintained l>eenuse protected industries Ind tasted blood and would not readily yield advantage, great corporations in this country have dealt by their labor unjustly, cruelly und harshly. The American luborer has gone into other fields. He has taken up lands or lie has found occujMition for himself elsewhere. The class of men t aking his place are not of the highest, though they are some of the fiercest at times. Companies, instead of enriching and ennobling these men. have used their advantages to treat them as villains und serfs. The insufficient wage they have given them at times has been taken back from them for rents and through truck stores. Stockades have beeu built about them as though they were prisoners. The law has still looked to the protection of ali citizens, even of aliens. To muke appeal to the law a nullity insolent employers of labor thut have tagged men with numbered bits of brass as if they were cattle instead of men are going so far as to compel the parents or guardians of children upon their pay rolls—children "ho ought never be there while adult labor is to be had— to sign contracts in their behalf us a condition of their employment that they shall hold the company harmless for any injury that may be sustained by them in the performance of perilous labor. . At the end of a loug litigation such a contract might be pronounced void und of no effect, but the tariff which its friends and beneficiaries say was designed to ennoble and enrich American labor does not give that American labor sufficient surplus to warrant its contesting a loug litigation. The companies have the benefit of these contracts. Such treatment of labor as the requirement us to children is monstrous. It comes from those industries that arc still clampring for more protection, still asserting falsely thut a high tarill is laid primarily in the interest of labor. 1* comes from McKinleyites. ft is the inevitable accompaniment of MeKinleyism, which impoverishes and degrades labor.—Chicago Chronicle.

AT LEAST INSTRUCTIVE. Suggestion* for Drmocniti la the Repub* lie an Victory. It might have been better; it might have been worse. * In all the big states there have been great democratic gains since last year. The party is regaining its voting strength. In Ohio Campbell has won what is equivalent to u real victory. In spite of painful perplexities the natural vigor of democracy has asserted itself in Kentucky. The cause of deepest regret is the defeat of J udge Edward Lane in the ISth Illinois district. The leaders and the press of the party made a gallant fight for Judge Lane, laying aside all differences of judgment on single questions. The la, ublie hus earnestly labored in his behuil, uud has had the cooperation of the democratic newspapers in the counties of the district. The result in Illinois is a lesson upon the necessity of full and generous consideration for all theelemeutsof opinion on disputed questions. The party must be uble to utilize all its strength. It cannot rely upon any gains whatever from the republican ranks or from those of the populists. Maryland’s turning over of things should have little significance. The democracy will not be benefited and the republicans will reap some advantage from the result. But the state will be in the right column next year. Gorman is not the democratic party of Maryland. The late election proves that the democracy is abundantly supplied with the votes to win in 18%; but that the votes must be organized, satisfied and honestly led. Now we know what is before us. We can win if we will.—St. Louis Bepublic.

PRESS OPINIONS. -There is room for the lamentable suspicion that Uncle John Sherman has 1 outlived his faculty of concealing political sores.—St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat (Hep.). -Gov. McKinley might keep off the tariff if it were not for the putridity of the legislature. Something has to be done to divert public indignation from it.—Cincinnati Enquirer. -The general result of the state and local elections shows a large falling off from the republican landslide majorities of last year, except, perhaps, in this immediate neighborhood, where the republicans appear to have pretty nearly held their own.—Chicago Chronicle. ' --John Sherman Ijas reserved his beneficial public services for the last years of his life. By telling the country how many treacherous fellows are to be found among the pillars of republicanism he is atoning for his past. Has he not something to say about his visiting statesmen colleagues of 1876?— St. Louis Republic, -Ex-Gov. Campbell accepted his defeat with the utmost good nature. “I have no reason,” he said, “to feel discouraged. On the contrary, in a measure I feel good. The vote shows the democrats in Ohio to be more harmonious than elsewhere. The fact that the vote of last year was exceeded is encouraging. It is the duty of every democrat now to pick his flint and get ready to slice off the rest of the republican plurality next year.**

THE FARMING WORLD. COLD STORAGE ROOM. * Excellent Plan Described by the Editor ot the Country Gentleman. Can you give me plan for Icehouse with cold storage room, either underneath Ice or at end, aa thought beet—Ice to he used from Icehouse as needed, and at same time keep the storage-room cold* Can this be done, or will ice melt so rapidly that 1 should be without It? YV’ould it be better to build cold room separate and till with Ice as needed? Ice can cool adjacent objects only by absorbing their heat, and consequently melting faster than would be the case If surrounded by nonconducting substances which are not disturbed or renewed after once giving up to the ice whatever heat they will readily yield. Assuredly, therefore, an icehouse will lie depleted fuster if its contents are called upon to absorb continually the heat from an apartment of some size, opened from time to time, and per hups refilled in w hole or in part w ith material comparatively warm. Care must consequently be taken not to expect too much cooling from a limited quantity of ice; but if a reasonable proportion be observed between the size of the ice mass and that of the connected refrigerator, our correspondent’s idea is perfectly feasible. As to a detailed plan for carrying it out, we can onlyin view of the meager information furnished us as to the dimensions desired, the temperature intended to be preserved in the cold-storage room nud the kind of goods to be kept there—suggest that a design somew hat like the following might probably be found useful. The ice docs not rest directly on the joists; but there is a bed of oak lath, about 1>/j, by 3 inches, laid across the joists, about 4 or 5 iuchjjs apart, on which the ice is laid. The drainage is carried ori by A series of V-shaped fin cr iron troughs, which run between the joists, all which carry the water to one point, w here it is conveyed outside by a t.ap pipe. These troughs reach over to the center of the top of the joists, and are soldered together, so that no water will drip on the door below. It will be seen that ’ i this plan there is no sawdust or other preservative in contact with the ice, and the air of the room circulates around and o\e,r the ice. As long as the temperature of the goods stored is above the temjjerature of the room, there will be f

COIJ) STORAGE ROOM. gentle draft around the mass of ice, and of course all the moisture in the air, vapors and odors from the goods, will condense on the ice and pass off, so that you ean keep milk, cream, butter, fruit and meats all in the same chamber without danger of injuring the flavor of any of them. At the entrance to the storeroom there must be a vestibule, either inside or outside, as space or circumstances may direct. If outside, the walls should be thick and the door very heavy. The doors, both inside and outside, should be fitted with rubber, so as to close perfectly tight, and both doors must never be opened at the same time. This vestibule should be large enough to contain a fair wagonload of goods, sc that if ypu are receiving a load of stuff, you are not required to stop until all is in the Vestibule and ready to store. The opening for putting in the ice, shown just under the pulley in the cut, has two doors, with a space between— each door a foot thick. The window in the oohl-room has three sets of sash, well packed or cemented. The walls are 13 inches thick, lined with 3i inches of sawdust. Thirty-six inches of sawdust are put on the floor over the ice. The building shown is 25 feet square, inside measure, and 22 feet from floor ot cold-room to ceiling over the ice. The iceroom is 12 feet high, and the coldrcoin nine feet. Pillars are required under the center of the ice.—Rural New Yorker.

The Beet Leaf Miner. :- l)r. J. A. Lintner, of New York state, as reported in Insect Life, lias found the larvae of several species of flies mining the leaves of beets in some vegetable gardens of the state. -This insect lias also been found to be doing considerable damage to some sugar beet plantations in California. It seems that there is little that can be done in the way of direct remedies for this insect, without sacrificing the foliage, although the foliage is not important to the beet crop after a oertain time. Insect Life recommends the cutting and destruction of the beet tops after the roots become well grown. If this plan be adopted, and the fields be plowed and harrowed after the roots are dug, the probabilities are that no serious damage will follow next season. Step In the fUght Direction. It is interesting to learn that the Lawrence scientific school of Harvard university considers road-making of so much importance that it has engaged an instructor for teaching exclusively the art of road-construction. Good results should follow from similar attention t-o the subject in the leading engineering schools of the country.—N. Y. Sun.

^Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE

—A hunter riding through the woods near Gray’s river. Wash., recently, came to a big fallen tree in his path. The ground seemed clear on the other side, and he leaped l^'s horse over the trunk. The horse landed squarely on the back of a bear, which evidently had been asleep there. The bear was as much startled as the horse and quickly tradeoff, while the hunter was thrown to the ground, the horse pitching him out of the saddle sideways in its frightened leapaway from the bear. —An old wooden-wheel llartholomew clock, of the kind in common use at the beginning of the century, was brought to a jeweler in Hazel Green. Ky., one day recently, to be repaired. The old lady who brought it said it had been in her family since 1834, and had kept tolerably good time, llut one of the wheels had become worn out. The jeweler sawed out a new wheel with a jig saw, and fixed up tlie old clock so that it ticked out the time as accurately as ever.
