The man who heads the Democratic ticket has thrown off the mask of reserve and stands out before the people in the attitude of a petitioner, asking for votes. The sphinx has opened his mouth. Candidate Pattlson's speech at Newark Is described as the opening gun of the campaign, and It should therefore shoiv the line of talk that the Democratic orators will use to convince the electorate of Ohio that there should be a change of administration. And yet, strip Pattlson's speech of its one feature and It might as well havd been left unspoken. The fea ture was his discussion of bosses and corruption. "Turn the rascals out!" That was Mr. Pattlson's argument. Is it not familiar to you? Have we not heard that same old cry trom time immemorial? Whenever the Democracy cannot find a war Issue or a money Issue or a tariff issue that it dares tackle, it goes out before the people and claims the medal for honesty. It puts on the sheep's clothing and point3 to the other i cllow as the wolf. The ruse is not altogether senseless. It succeeded for Ilaadley and again for Campbell, but after these men had been in power for a brief period the people were glad enough to turn them out. The history of Ohio is proof of the danger arising from Democratic

rule. Republican administrations have been business-like and economical. The State has thrived under them. Its treasury has grown fat. One Democratic governor can undo the good work of several Republican governors. We wouldn't call it dishonesty, but rather Inefficiency that has marked the administration of Democratic governors. Not one in recent years Las left the treasury In as gcod condition as he found it. The finances In Ohio are to-day stronger than ever before, largely as a result of Herrick's management. Yet the people are asked to make a change to give Democracy another trial. Evidently its leaders credit the taxpayers with possessing short memories. "The stealing of the public funds Is a great crime," says Mr. Pattiscn parrot-like, as If he had made a great discovery. Since when did the people appoint Democracy to run down graft and corruption? Their orators point with pride to Folk, of Missouri, apparently unmindful of the fact tbat the Democratic leaders in that State used every Influence In their power to puil their governor off. They didn't want him to expose the rottenness and corruption that was flourishing in the Democratic stronghold. But grant them their Folk, have we not fur Deneen in Iü'nois, who is quite a. active in his way? Have we not our Weaver, who is driving the Philadelphia thieves out in the open? And finally have we not our Roosevelt, who first moved against the political thief and encouraged Folk and Dcneen and Weaver? It was a Republican President who began the crusade against public thieving a crusade that is extending to all parts of the country. The Republican party in nation and In State has always proved its capacity and willingness to turn the rascal ont, whether they were Republicans or Democrats. Mr. Pattison talked against bosslsm. but' he was careful to define it as CoxIsm. He said nothing about vMcLeanIsm or Johnsonism. Yet McLean was for years absolute dictator of Ohio Democracy, while Cox has never been able to extend his dominion beyond the borders of Hamilton County. Tom Johnson holds Cleveland as in the hollow of his hand. He has piled up a debt under which the taxpayers of the city are groaning for relief, and he has planned for a long while to succeed McLean. Then there is the bossism of Tammany, a purely spoils organization, and there Is Dunne, of Chicago, who hopes to become the boss of the Windy City through his advocacy of Immediate muncipal ownership. So it Is to be a specious campaig-i cn ths part of Pattison and his cohorts. There is to be no joining of Issues on questions t are vital to the taxpayers cf Ohio, but an attempt to stamps them by false criC3 of wolf," "rrclf." Tclcda Dlde. ZZorr to Tell tle ElCerence.

We know of no newspaper more in need of being set right In the matter of correct differentiation between the two parties than Is the St. Taul Dispatch. Perhaps we can assist that wildly wobbling Journal in ascertaining where it is at. Suppose you try reading over the Republican and Democratic platforms of 1904. In the Republican platform you will learn that protection Is "a cardinal principle." In the Democratic platform you will discover that "protection is robbery." It would seem as though this might help our wandering friend to tell the difference. American Economist Not an "Off Year." In the vernacular of the professional politician this is an "off year" because It is not a Presidential year. In truth, however, it is by no means an" "off year." In ten States cam paigns of more or less national inter est have already opened or will shortly begin. The results will be of great significance, even though they may have no direct bearing upon Federal politics. Massachusetts elects a governor and it will be interesting to see whether the Democratic victory of last year will be repeated. Governor Dougla3 thus far refuses a nomination, but there is a suspicion that his refusal is not final. If it should b so then tho probability of General Miles' nomination adds Interest to the outlook. Rhode Island always elects a governor and It will probably be news to most people that both Rhode Island and Massachusetts choose their chief executives every year, thus carrying the principle of "frequent responsibility to the people" about as far as possible. In Rhode Island, as In Massachusetts, the Democrats urofess to have hopes of victory largely based upon the personal popularity of Mr. Garvin. It may be remembered that last year the Republicans pulled through by a very slim margin, despite the prestige of President Roosevelt Kentucky elects a legislature which will choose a successor to Senator Blackburn, and Ohio chooses a full State ticket. There is small doubt as to the result in either case, nor Is there much more with respect to Vermont, where the question will probably be as to the size of the Republican majority and nothing else. Nebraska and Kansas hold general county elections, and in Pennsylvania three Supreme Court judges are to bo chosen. The judicial election, however excites small interest as compared with that manifested in tha struggle in the city of Philadelphia, where Mayor Weaver, backed by the reform element, is fighting the boodlers. Upon the result of this struggle hinges not only the political, control of Philadelphia, but the ascendency of the forces which at present dominate the State. Philadelphia will be worth watching on election day. So will New York City, where Tammany is once more lined up against a none too harmonious opposition. TIid metropolis will witness some lively campaigning when a candidate shall have been selected to oppose Mayor McClellan. Probably New York will excite more attention than any of the States, though we might mention that in addition to those already enumerated Virginia will elect a complete State ticket and Maryland will passi upon the so-called Poe amendment to the State constitution, under the terms of which the negro will practically be disfranchised. There will be plenty of Interest, at any rate, to warrant repudiation of the term which designates 1903 as an "off year." Chicago Chronicle.

THE BOOMING CANNON

RECITALS OF CAMP AND CATTLE INCIDENTS. SnrvlTon of the Ifebelllon Relat Many Atnaalns and Startling Incident of Marches, Camp Life, Forar Ins Experience and Battle Scenes, This is the narrative of Private J . He had heard a great deal said cbout escapes and attempted escapes; and as soon as he could get a chance he related this, which certainly has a smack of the real thing: All through that campaign I had acted as mall carrier for a division of the Sixth corps. Everybody in the division knew mo, and I never had any difficulty in getting all the help that I needed from time to time.. I could tell a great deal about what happened, both at the front and the rear, be tween that July and November. It was my business to get the mail for my division separated from that of the rest of the corps, when it could be done, as quickly as possible, and to make regular trips back with the outgoing mail. Many adventures happened to me in this business; none quite so stirring as that of the early morning of Oct. 19, 1SG4. For two days previous I had been at Winchester. A mall was expected, and. as usual, I was on hand to get what belonged to my division. I got it on the evening of the 18th, after dark. I knew that General Sheridan had arrived from Martinsburg that day on his woy back to his army, and that he was passing the night at Winchester. Everything was quiet at the front, according to reports that had come in that morning. The natural end ordinary thinj would have been for me to wait In peace and comfort at Winchester that night, sleeping In a good bed, eating something better than rations that night and the next morning, and then falling in with the general's eccort after breakfast, and riding up to the front with them. As it happened, I should have mada about the same progress that I did, had I adopted this course; and, with somewhat different adventures, should have got my mail up to the division about the same time. I don't know what it was moved me to make a night Journey of it, unless It was that I was not sleepy, and fe!t a great deal more like riding than sleeping. In that restless kind of condition, it occurred to me that I might Just as well get the mall up to the front at daybreak as six hours later, and I acted promptly on the idea. My horse was a poor condemned animal that the quartermaster had fum!shed me some weeks before, claiming that It was the best he could do for me. I have no doubt he lied; but time has softened his offense. If it has not entirely wiped it out in my recollection of those days. That animal was kneesprung, and could not be depended upon for more than two miles and a half per hour. I had tried my best to make an even exchange with some of the cavalry and orderlies (when they were not looking), but either they were too sharp, or 1 was too dull, and the swap was never effected. My Roslnante was well known all through the command, and I became the subject of much good-humored banter on his account. I calculated that by starting from Winchester at 10 o'clock that evening I could pass over he fifteen miles between tbat place and the camp of the army by sunrise. There was some risk of guerrillas, but I had learned something of their ways, and was not fearful of their lurking along the Valley pike that night. So I started, reckoning without my host. It seemed to me that ray poor old mount never went so slow. With difficulty I was able to get him off a walk for three minutes at a time. The night was cold and clear until about i o'clock, when a fog began to rise. I passed through Milltown, Kernstown, Newton and Middletown, all place? that the veterans of the Shenandoah campaigns will recognize by their names. Just beyond MIddletown I heard a noise of musketry away over to the left. I stopped a moment and then rode on, thinking it was only some casual picket firing. A half mile further I heard a volley from the same direction, then a faint sound cf what we used to call the "rebel yell." I was riding nearly in thn direction of the sound, and I now turned sharp off to the right. A short distance over the meadows in that direction I saw a small shed, and, obeying an impulse, I rode Into it. I merely wanted to stop and think what to do, as it was pretty plain to me that .in attack had been made by the enemy, and that a battle would follow. In the shed there was a horse, with no equipments but headstall and bridle, and fastened by the latter. It was Just light enough for me to see, and my eyes devoured that animal. It was a Virginia thoroughbred, as handsome a piece of horseflesh as I had ever seen. ' . How did he come there? You must ask some other person; I don't know. I can only suppose that, as Mosby was operating oa our rear, that morning, this animal must have been left there for a few moments by one of his men. Whoever left him, I made no scruple of appropriating him. I transferred my saddle blanket, saddle and mailrouch t3 his back, turned my Roslnante loose, mounted the thoroughbred, got a good grip of the bridle, and was out of the shed and away up the pike like a shot. I had not got half a mile further before I heard a great noise of musketry and yells, and I plainly saw dozens of men dressed in gray rashing across the pike ahead of me. - I knew that I was running right into the enemy's advance and I wheeled and rode back. I rode pretty fast, too; It seemed as if things were getting rather hot about there. As my thoroughbred went galloping down the pike at a rate that I certainly never rode before, I saw three or four coliiers by the roadside with lev c!:l riflci. and heard tha cry "Halt!" I could not have fullsd cp tid I

wished to, as certainly I did not I heard the whistling of builets about my ears os I went on, but none of them touched me or the horse, and we kept straight on to MIddletown. Just before I reached that village half a dozen horsemen struck the pike from the east, not more than five rods behind me, and gave me their most pressing attention. I heard them clah tering after mo on the havd road, their carbine balls cut the air around me,' and cries of "Ilalt! Surrender! you Yankee!" followed me.

I Just laid forward on the saddle shouted to my horse, put on the spur, loosed the bridle and he did the rest., . It was not a race; It was a clea i' runaway. They had nothing to match that horse. I outran, distanced them easily, and reached Winchester before any of the stragglers. I rejoined the division with the mail after dark of that night, when the battle was all over, and we were victorious. Somebody will inquire, of course, what became of that horso. It makes my heart sick to think that I had to lose him. I was merely a private Infantry soldier on detached service. Any horse that I rode was supposed ta belong to the government. There were a good many hungry eyes in our division fastened on this one after the 19th. I was called upon to account for Mm, and did so with a strong plea for my individual property In him. It was of no use. I had to turn him in to the quartermaster, and don't know what became of him; but whoever rode him after that rode one of the best horses in Virginia. J. F. F., in American Tribune. The Rich Tide at Gettysburg. A cloud possessed the hjllow field. The gathering battle's smoky shield; Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed. And through the cloud some horsemen dashed, And from the hights the thunder pealed. Then at the brief command of Lee Moved ont the matchless infantry, With Pickett leading grandly down To rush against the roaring crown Of those dread hights of destiny. Far-heard above the angry guns A cry across the tumult runs The voice that rang through Shiloh's woods And Chickamanga's solitudes, The fierce South cheering on her sons! Ah, how the withering tempest blew Against the front of Pettigrew! A kamsin wind that scorched and singed Like that infernal flame that fringed The British squares at Waterloo! A thousand fell where Kemper led; A thousand died where Garnett bled; In blinding flame and strangling smoke The remnant through the batteries broke And crossed the works with Armistead. "Once more in Glory's van with me!" Virginia cried to Tennessee, "We two together, eome what may. Shall stand upon these works to-day The reddest day in history!" Brave Tennessee! In reckless way, Virginia heard her comrade say, "Close round this rent and riddled rag!" What time she set her battle-flag Amid the guns of Doubleday. But who shall break the guards that wait Before the awful face of Fate? The tattered standards of the South Were shriveled at the cannon's mouth, And all her hopes were desolate. In vain the Tennesseean sit His bravest 'gainst the bayonet! In vain Virginia charged and raged, A tigress in her wrath uncaged; And all the hill was red and wet! Above the bayonets mixed and crossed. Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost Receding' through the battle-cloud. And heard across the tempest loud The death cry of a nation lost! The brave went down! Without disgrace They leaped to Ruin's red embrace. They only heard Fame's thunders wake, And saw the dazzling sunburst break In smiles on Glory's bloody face! They fell, who lifted up a hand And bade th sun in heaven to stand? They, smote and fell, who set the bars Against the progress of the stars, and stayed the march of Motherland! They stood, who saw tbe future come On through the fight a delirium! They smote and stood, who held the hope Of nations on that slippery slope, Amid the cheers of Christendom! God lives! He forged the iron will That clutched and held that trembling hill God lives and reigns! lie built and lent Th hights for-Freedom's battlement. Where floats her flag in triumph still! Foil np the banners! Smelt the guns! Love rules; her gentle purpose runs. The mighty Mother turn in tears, The pages .of her battle years, Lamenting all her fallen sons! Will II. Thompson. After Forty-Two Years. At the New Philadelphia reunion John Smith told of an adventure at Lookout Mountain. Tte skirmishers were being shelled by the enemy's artillery and whenever they were warned by their lookout posted in advance would Jump behind trees or into holes which they had dug in the ground. Just as the signal was given to taka shelter, Smith made a dash for his tree, but another man Jumped in ahead of him. Grumblins and swearing Smith Jumped Into a hole J ast in time to escape the broadside or not and shell. A heavy cannon ball struck Smith's tree near the roots and crushed it over oil the man who had taken shelter behind it. Then Smith felt glad that the other man had insisted on taking his place behind the tree. As the regiment was ordered forward at once he did not know what became of the man who stole his tree. Thereupon Martin Prettyman of Company represent at the reunion, said he was the man who stole the tree and was crushed under it. He escaped with a few' bruises and lived to meet Smith forty-two years later at a regimental reunion. Chicago Inter Ocean. A cliht debt produces abetter; a I hzzYj c-3 ca enemy. Public Cjri

E1M THE DUAL PURPOSE COW. -Many, farmers believe in the "dual purpose cow an animal that will produce both beef and milk profitably. We will' not at present discuss the advantages or disadvantages of keeping such an animal; suScient to say that such a cow Is desirable in the judgement of some cattle-keepers, and that the authorities who conducted the dairy tost at the St. Louis Exposition provided a class for the entry of such cattle Class "C." There were thirty-five cows entered in this test twenty-five Shorthorn, five Hol steins and five Brown Swiss. The fat in the milk produced was valued at thirty cents per pound, solids nor. fat at three cents per pound, and gain in live weight at four cents per pound. The test showed a net profit, after deducting cost of feed, of $4181 per cow for the Holsteins, $41.93 for the Brown Swiss, and $29.22 for the Short horns. Xo Jerseys were entered in this test, but by applying the rules to the wcTk of the Jersey herd of twentyfive cows entered in Classes "A" and "B," a fair comparison may be made. The milk of the Jersey herd contained 5.S1069 lbs. fat, which, at SOcts per pound, would be valued at $1,743.20; and 1.1032.8G lbs. solids, at three cents per pound, $330.98. Their gain in live weight was 1,757 lbs., which, at four cents per pound, would.be valued at $71.83. The total credit to the herd would then be $2,140.07. Deducting the cost of the feed, $722.40, we have $1.423.C7 net profit, or $5C94 net profit per cow. Comparing this with the net profit In the cases cf the three hrds taking part in the test, we find that the Jersey prove the best "dual" purpose tow, sifrpas-sing the Holsteins in net profit by $12.13 per cow, the Brown Swiss by $15.01 per cow, and the Shorthorns by $27.72 per cow. The Jersey is not a beef breed, but if a man must have a breed of cattle profitable for butter, for milk,1 and for beef, what s the matter witn the Jersey? It. M. Row, in Farmers Home Journal. THE BREED AND THE FAILURE In- gong into the breeding of hogs for pork-enakins the breed i3 not so important as that the breeder gets the kind that suits his prejudices best, says New York Farmer. This is because he is more likely to take care of a breed he likes than of one he does not fancy. This accounts largely for one man making a success of one breed ana a failure of another. One swine-raiser says that the better the breed of hogs, the better care will have to be given them, and that is correct. The old razor-back of our ancestors needed little or no care. He could take care of himself, when the snow did not cover the ground or the frost render it too hard to be plowed up by his persistent snout. With the great improvement In breeds we have animals that make more delicious, more edible pork, while the care they need is Increased in proportion. The man who feas been brought up on a farm where the old scrub variety of hog has been ra!sed is more than likely to try to give the improved breed .scrub care. If the highly-developed PolandChina is left to rustle for his. food in the rootfield or hunt acorns In the woods, he will give very poor return's indeed, even if he does not conclude to He down and die of chagrin. He hasn't the activity necessary to enable him to make a comfortable living if left alone with nature. He 13 the survival of the fittest only when he has man to pamper him. There are a zood many hired men brought up on farms where the hogs were of the long-limbed, hardy type, and they have It firmly fixed in their minds that the hog has no need of the excessive care the improved hog receives. This will account for a good many of the failures hired men make as carers of swine. The raising and feeding cf improved -swine Is a trade that has to be learned, and the earlier the boy commences the better for him and for the swine that are to come under his care. LEARNED IN THE DAIRY BUSI- . NESS. I have learne'J that a caTf given alfalfa hay as soon as it will eat it, will make a better calf than on any other rcusfaness I ever fed. I have raised as good calves on separated skim .milk, oil cako and alfalfa hay, as can h 2 raised running with the cow. Oil cake and alfalfa hay are cheaper than butter fat. I have learned that it- will take years to build up a very good dairy herd, and that we must be very careful in breeding and purchasing our herd. My plan is starting out would be to purchase good heifers, just a.little before they come fresh. By careful selection and care, one can build. jp a good herd in a few years, past year, no doubt have learned only what others in the dairy business have learned years ago, and I expect to learn. a great deal more it I stay in the busiucss.

'üindeTed In his business without water, not having the camel-capacity To supply them with the little watei they require in a dry season, is not difficult, and is a humane as well a3 a paying proposition. I remember years ago, noticing how they hovered to drink at the most unlikely places, and were not particular as to purity. Whereupon I took care to supply them. Another thing I treated them to in the spring time, was pea flour for their beebread. It amused me to seo them carry It off, their little thighs packed high with the golden commodity. A farmer friend of mine in the Wil lamette Valley, tells me that se makes quite $100 a year by his honey, besides supplying his family of children, who say, Irish .fashion, "We love It!" He has sixteen colonies, and says he never spends more than three days time, (all gathered up,) on his knees during the year. Bee-keeping Is one of the useful as well as interesting fringes to rann life, that may be well indulged in, for honey finds a constant market, at from twelve to fourteen cents a pound L. A. N., Indiana Farmer. BARLEY AND PEAS. Barley and psas is another forage crop valuable for fall feeding. It has advantages for late forage not possessed by oats and peas. While oats are damaged by heavy frosts, barley will remain vigorous and continue to grow until early November. This make3 the barley and peas valuable for late soiling purposes or for pasturing. The barley and peas should be sown at the rate of V2 bushels of each per acre, and the crop may be sown as late as the first week in August. We have used this crop for soiling purposes as late as the middle of November. Some farmers nave ?iad poor success in growing the peas when sown in the summer. Where this is the cast-, the oats or the barley may bo grown alone, and will produce good crops when seeded at the rate of 2J2 or three bushels per acre. C. S. Phelps, in Massachusetts Ploughman. Flowers From Girl's Hat. Thirty years ago "Samuel Sommerfield of Frankfort, Ind., was a resident of Aurora. A hat was sold by him for a little girl, and after she had worn it a while she grew tired of it and tore it up. The hat was trimmed with what was supposed to be artificial flowers. She pulled the buds to pieces and from one of them dropped some tiny seeds. The child's mother planted them. In a short time the seeds sprouted and within a few years the bush began to bear, and the flowers, not unlike a pansy, were very beautiful. The family lost trace of Mr Sommerfield, but learning that he resided in Frankfort, recently sent him a box of the flowers and a letter telling him of the hat and how the flowers came to be grown. The explanation of It all Is said to lie in the fact that thirty jears ago all of the artificial flowers came from France, and inasmuch as they were very expensive, the flowermakers of that country hit upon the plan of preserving native flowers, making use of their knowledge in preserving the flowers rather than to produce them by artificial means. Force of Habit. "They're certainly jumpin on John D. It ain't fair, is it, sir?" Silence. "Razor hurt you, sir" Silence. Say, do you believe all that there talk about Witte kissin' the engineer?"

Then the barber, who had been shaving and shampooing a French poodle, untied the animal 'and handed It to the groom in waiting outside. Force of habit had kept his tongue awag. . Merits of the Thistle. Lord Brownlow's recommendation of bracken and the nettle as valuable and even delicious foods suggests a still further addition to our dietary. Let no man hee-haw at the mention of the thistle. Culpeper praises it, and informs us that it is "effectual for agues and to prevent and cure the infection of the plague, as also . . . against the jaundice. ... It cleanses the blood exceedingly; and In spring, If you please to boil the tender plant (but cut off. the prickles unless you have a mind to choke yourself) it will change your blood as the season changes, and that is the way to be safe." Moreover, "the decoct?on of the thistle being drunk expels superfious melancholy out of the body, and makes, a man as merry as a cricket, and my opinion Is that It is the best remedy against all melancholy diseases that grows." And this gives us the answer to the question, "Did you ever see a dead donkey?" He is not such an ass as to die. He has discovered the cccret cf longevity.

The Main Point. It so happened that a man from New Orleans recently found himself in a far northern city where the alleged coffee closely resembled warm spring water. 'How much I should enjoy," he remarked to his vis-a-vis after the dessert at dinner, 'a good cup of cafe noir!" The attentive waiter, letting slip no opportunity to uphold the honor of Iiis city, remarked: "'Nolr means black, doesn't it, sir? Well, we can give it to you black if you wish it." "Ah, but my friend," replied th traveler from New Orleans, 'you forget that cafe means coffee!" New Orleans Times-Democrat.
