Democracy Selling Out the Farmers.

To a long line of deception and fraud in Ha pMt history the Democratic party ie now adding the tricks and impositions it is practicing upon the fanners and Griegers. No sooner was that movement started than sharp, tricky local demagogues, in accordance with a wink from prompters, behind the Democratic Mwnea, made haste to get control of the organisations. And so, from being a dead weight to all progress, thia old, rotten carcass of Democracy suddenly and mysteriously transformed itself into a party of "reform.” If it would confine its labors to reforming Itself, the world would say amen, and it would not be out of work for a good while to come. Going from its acts in piling up a large national debt and bankrupting the Treasury in a time of profound peace, when there was no interest to pay on the debt created by a Democratic rebellion, to its gigantic frauds in New York City, to say nothing of its Chicago Gages and lesser lights, all at once it has set itself up as the model party of honesty and purity, and claims the right to go into the fore-front of the farmers’ movement. It is surprising the farmers did not sec through this thin disguise of hypocrisy at a glance and promptly repudiate their proffered assistance. But generous, forgiving, open and manly themselves, they knew it was frill time for the Democracy to bring forth fruits meet for repentance, and a few of the more hopeful were received oa probation. Democratic deceit and dishonesty are dyed in the wool of that party, and it is useless to attempt to wash them out. The experience of the farmers in their new relations with them . is overwhelming testimony on the subject. In the eleation in Wisconsin last fail the farmers were sold out body and soul to the old Bourbon Democracy, as the result has shown. All appointees by the new • Governor are ingrained Democrats. The Speaker of the Assembly is an old political demagogue of like stripe, and although the farmers in that State went into the contest to secure redress of railroad grievances, it is now openly charged, and the charge has strong evidence to support it, that these Wisconsin Democrats, elected by the votes of farmers, are the pliant tools of the railways and ran the campaign last fall secretly in their interests. In lowa'and other Western States, wherever the fanners have joined hands with the Democrats, they have most generally been sold out in the some way. And in New Hampshire Where the Democrats are are working hard to secure help from the farmers, it is openly charged by a leading opposition paper which has more honesty than is generally found in Democratic was nominated for Governor by a most glaring fraud of railway combinations. If the farmers will contrast this course of the Democrats with what the Republicans are doing in their behalf, they will not have to look twice to see where their friends are found. The United States Senate Transportation Committee will throw much light upon this subject when Its report is made, and its measures and recommendations will doubtless do great good. The Republican Governor of Illinois led off in recommending and urging the adoption of satisfactory methods of relief when the movement was first started. Other Republican Governors have taken similar action. The nomination of Farmer McCutchins in New Hampshire shows that the Republicans are in full sympathy with all needed reforms of this character. It may have been a very indiscreet thing for the Democrats to show their cloven foot so soon, but we trust it will be a lesson our farmers especially will not soon forget or fail to fully improve. The extent to which they have already been sold out is only an in- — timation of what the Democrats would do were they restored to complete power in the Government, and ought to be sufficient to put farmers and all others upon their guard.— Albany Evening Journal.

The New Chief-Justice.

With Ohio, Connecticut is honored in the choice. Our own county was his birthplace, and our own city contains many whose intimacy, through ties of blooa and friendship, had taught them, long before the country began to know ana honor him, What his great qualities as alwayer, a student, and a high-toned gentlemen were. Mr. Waite was, till recently, an unknown man, at least throughout the country’. In his own State, and mqre especially in his own town, he has been regarded for some years as a lawyer of far more than average ability. Appointed by the President to assist General Gushing and William M. Evarts as counsel for our Government before the Geneva Board of Arbitration, his name was shadowed by the then greater fame of his two associaties. J'lot so when he finished his labors there, for by an argument of almost unequaled power, force and clearness, he attracted the general attention of the country, and was speedily thereafter acknowledged as one of the leading legal lights of the land. Those who had known Mr. Waite, however, previous to this were prepared'for the brilliant effort he then made. More recently, as President of the Ohio Constitutional Convention, he has still further added to his reputation. As a lawyer, Mr. Waite’s qualifications for the high position are unquestionable. Possessed of a mind keenly logical, his early training developed still more strongly its powers. His' father was eminent as a lawyer, and an honored Chief-Justice of our highest State Court. But by a life-long and intense application to the study he was by nature and training so admirably fitted for, and by an extensive practice at the Ohio Bar. he has perfected himself, so far as man can perfect himself, in the knowledge ol that limitless and grand study. Further than this his attention, either by choice or chance, has been turned especially to the interpretration of the many difficult questions of law underlying the constitution, and it was no doubt his great attainments in this branch of the science which induced his appointment as counsel at Geneva. It will be with no smattering of Coke, no scanning of Blackstone and Kent, that he wfiftake his seat. The principles of the law, and their application in the cause of justice and right, have been his study. His knowledge does not end with his'brief or plea. Preeminent, then, in this respect are his qualifications for the high position. But tb.e high character, the winning social qualifications, and the kindliness of heart, which with great learning combine to make die perfect Judge, Mr. Waite possesses in a high degree. The country has reason to thank Gen. Grant for this appointment.— Norwich (G’onn.) The President’s nomination of Hon. Morrison R. Waite for Chief Justice is not only unexceptionable in every way, but is an admirable one, and there can be no reason to doubt its prompt confirmation. The President has hit the good fortune which the old saying gives to the third effort. The selection is honorable to Gen. Grant, and befits the high character the Supreme Bench should have, and it is safe for the country. It is the more honorable to both parties because of the fact that Mr. Waite has not only not made or instigated any effort to influence the Preaident’s choice, but has advised against such efforts when offered by his friends. On his part the appointment is perfectly unsolicited, and on the part of the President it was made without any ««twwd pressure. Never has an appoint- • ’ - -• v:vr .-, . •-

ment been made to this high office in a manner that better befitted it. Mr. Waith is a lawyer of thorough training and of large practice, and has long ranked with the first lawyers of a state not lacking In high legal talent. , He has the direct and logical processes of thought, the judicial temper, and the Just mind which makes the jurist. With these high professional qualities he is distinguished for purity qf character, for a large humanity, a benevolent and generous nature, a warm heartedness, and a loyalty to friends and to convictions, which make him beloved by those who know him.— Cincinnati Oavette. ■■ ■ ,

The President and Texas.

The action of the President in the Texas difficulty has been universally satisfactory. Even the Democratic and “Liberal” journals commend it. Fortunately the facts are undisputed. The Legislature of Texas passed an election law. It was approved by Governor Davis and by all parties, and an election was held in pursuance of it, which resulted in a large Democratic majority. After the election the Supreme Court of the State declared the law to be unconstitutional, and thereupon the Governor issued a proclamation warning tlie persons elected not to assume their functions, and, supposing that they would not heed him, be called upon the President for troops. The President replied: “The call is not made in accordance with the Coqflitution of the United States and the acta of fongresa nnderit, and cannot, therefore, he granted. The act of the Legislature of Texas, providing for the recent election having received your approval, aud hoth political parties having made nominations and having conducted a political campaign tinder -its provisions, would it not be prudent as well as right to yield to the verdict of the people as expressed by their ballots! 1 ” Governor Davis and liis friendshave done what the Southern rebels did in 1860. They took part in an election, and then refused to abide by the result. The action qf the President is characteristic. He Is severely criticised for much that he does, but he has never shown a disposition to stretch or strain his constitutional prerogatives. In the Louisiana case he earnestly requested Congress to act, and acted himself only when some action was imperative. He has-been accused of acting wrongly, but it can not be truly said said that lie showed any wish to act at all, certainly none to act unconstitutionally. In the present instance his reply is full of quiet good sense, and disposes of the subject. It has been said that it is shocking to think that he might ' have interfered and have set aside the undoubted will of the people of Texas. ; But it is always possible for a State court to declare an election law unconstitutional, and for a Governor to hold with it and 7 appeal for lielp “to Washington; Iftlre i authorities there should act as requested, - the will of the people of a State might be ! set aside. But all this would be within ' the forms of the Constitution. And it is undeniable that a government may be overthrown under its own forms, as that of the old republic of Rome was, and as the rebels hoped to overthrow ours. The security against such efforts isthe virtue and loyalty of the people. The Constitu- ' tion authorizes the Government to protect a State against rebellion upon the application ofthe Legislature, or of the Governor when the Legislature can not be convened. Congress therefore must deeld'd what is rebellion, and who rebels.— Harper's Weekly.

Watering Cattle in Winter.

Next to -warm shelter and good feed, the proper watering of cattle should be attended to. No farm animals' will do well if only watered once a day. It is true that animals which are driven to some frozen pond and watered through holes cut in the ice will seldom in cold weather drink more than once a day, for the simplereason that they must be suffering from thirst to be induced to drink at all; but this does not, by any means, prove the economy of this system of watering, but rather the reverse. To prove it, let the stock owner himself get down and drink this thoroughly-chilled water. The evidence of danger to the system will be apparent. —” ’ - If there are but few animals to be watered, it is but little labor to do the work, since the water for a dozen or twenty cattle can be pumped in altout the time the cattle will drink it. If a large herd be kept, a simple wind-mill, pumping into an underground cistern placed upon an eminence and connecting by means of underground pipes with the trough in the _yard at a less elevation, will suffice to supply any number of cattle and other stock. The outlay, other than the-first expense, will be blit small. If this be impracticable, a tank may be built of sufficient elevation, and enclosed so that it shall be practically frost proof, when it will Work' day and night, Winter and Summer, when tlie wind blows, (and when does it not in the West?) and will repay its cost, every year, where a considerable herd is to be watered. For years, we had such a mill that furnished water from a ftftv feet well, which supplied the house, WOO to 600 swine, twelve horses and ten cows, besides furnishing water for the green-house and hot beds of over 600 sashes,“which latter alone, in the Spring, used to require the work of one man with a hose to water. We simply state this to show the amount of water a good sized mill will pump? The great advantage of this system of watering Is, that the water may be carried j in common iron gas pipes whenever you want, and the water is never thoroughly chilled, so as to distress stock in drinking. Consequently they take it just when they want it, and usually in small quantities at a time. They are thereby saved the ague chill that usually occurs’ after the periodical filling up under the system as practiced by too many of our farmers. There is no doubt that, with proper watering and warm shelter in winter, all farm animals would come out from twenty-five to fifty per cent better than they now do. We have proved this proposition to oui perfect satisfaction by experience in fattening cattle. The proposition will hold good with other stock. It will pay to give farm stock—first, warm shelter; second, plenty of good forage; and third, but not least, water to drink at will, certainly twice a day, and then never chilled to the freezing point Our correspondent, “G. W. L.,” of Delaware, lowa, sends us a valuable hint with respect to the watering of cattle in winter. He says: “Many farmers water their stock from wells, and in the winter-time they experience Considerable difficulty by the accumulat: on of ice around the trough. Many times'cattle, even though very dry will go away without drinking rather than venture on such a slippery, place to get water. I have a very simple and cheap remedy: Take an armful or two of straw, scatter it over the ice, ands,sprinkle over it some water, which soon freezes fast, ‘and the remedy is complete.”— Western Rural. —A Useful Soap.—The following is commended by those who have tried it for scrubbing’ and cleansing painted floors, washing dishes, and other household purposes: Take two pounds of white olive soap, and shave it in thin slices; add two ounces of borax and two quarts of cold water; stir all together in a stone or earthen jar, .and let |t set upon the back of the stove until the mass is dissolved. A very little heat is required, as the liquid need not simmer. When thoroughly mixed and cooled, it becomes of the consistency of a thick jelly; and a piece the size of a cubit inch will make a lather ; for a gallon of water. ..

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

To Keep Gum Arabic.—Dissolve it in as little cold fain water as possible, then add alcohol. This preserves it. Hickory Nut Cake.—One poiind of flour, one pouna of sugar, three-quarters pound of butter, six eggs, two teaspoons of cream-tartar, one teaspoon of soda, onehalf cup of sweet milk and half a pint of hickory nuts chopped fine. The Philadelphia Medical Times calls tlie attention of its readers to the fact that glycerine may be used as a means of dis” guising medicines, such as castor-oil,-turpentine, cod-liver oil, etc., more especially when one or two drops of oil of cinnamon or some other volatile oil has been added. Corn meal, heated and placed inffiags, is recommended as a substitute for hot water bottles and such like applinncesfor restoring warmth to the sick. It is said to weigh less, retain its heat longer, and does not chill when cold. Horseradish tn Pickle.—Horseradish grated and mixed with pickle will prevent mold forming on the top of jars.' Leaves of horseradish laid over the top will answer the same purpose. It is said that this pungent root.if grated and mixed with cider, and eaten with tlie food, will both prevent and cure paralysis. Washing Rag Carpets,—A rag carpet should not be washed as long as it can be avoided. It soilsjnuch easier after being once washed, besides fading. If there are grease spots, a little hard soap rubbed on, then washed off with hot water and well rinsed, is a good way to remove them; or some aqua ammoniajs equally as good. Cocoanut Cake.—Two eggs; beat the whole to a stiff froth; one aud a half cups of sugar; half a cup of butter; half a cup of sweet milk; one teaspoonful of cream tartar; one teaspoonful of soda; two and a quarter cups of flour; half a cup of cocoanut; flavor of lemon. Cutlets of Veal.—When the piece of veal is chosen, divide each bone separate ly; break an egg and wet the pieces with it, then roll in bread crumbs, afterwards frying them in lard. Slake a gravy with butter, pepper and salt, mixed with the bread crumbs. Any part of the veal, almost, cut in small pieces, may be dressed in the same way. This dish must be thoroughly done to be good. Valueof Bi.ack Tea— Tea is not only to be considered as a stimulant,. but also as nourishment. That people who use tea are able to live longer and do more work on an insufficient amount of food, than those who abstain from the beverage, is attributed to its power of preventing the waste of the body, and in the animal economy may be compared to the financial- proposition that a “penny’ saved is twice earned.” From the large amount of nitrogen it contains, it may also be considered, to a certain extent, a direct means of nourishment. A Vogel has thought it worth his while to determine how much of this nitrogen is employed in the infusion. The tea examined gave 6 6 per cent, ash, and 35.5 of extract, which was found to contain 2.8 per cent, nitrogen, while the partially exhausted leaves contain 3:58 per cent. From this it would seem that, unless we contrive to devote the whole leaf, we lose the larger portion of the nitrogen. —Exchange. - -

Raising a Crop of Carrots.

Every person who cultivates only a few acres of ground should raise a few hundred bushels of carrots. Such roots are excellent for stock of all kinds. A few quarts fed-daily, in connection with grain ot cut food feed, will promote the health of a horse far better than oats alone. Carrots contain an acid called pectine, the gelatinizing principle of certain vegetables, which, acting upon the contents of the animal’s stomach, greatly assists the process of digestiom—Tlenee earrots are valued very highly as food for horses on the city stage and railroad lines, and the healthy appearance and sleek coats of their horses are due to the use of this vegetable as much as to the efficient grooming which they daily receive. When fed on grain and hay alone hordes do not generally digest their food well, much of it being voided in a whole state. By tlie use of carrots this difficulty is entirely obviated. From 600 to 800 bushels of carrots can be easily raised on an acre, and we have known 1,000 bushels to be produced on a good soil by manuring liberally with super-phosph'ate liWwell rotted barnyard manure, and cultivating the crop continuously, so as to keep the ground free from weeds. One good mode of cultivation is to throw the land into ridges two feet apart with a double mould board plow, and to rake off the top of these ridges with an iron tooth rake. All lumps, stones, roots and grass will thus be raked into the sorrows, and a mellow seed bed left for the easy passage of the seed drill. If 300 pounds of super-pbos-phate are scattered along the ridges before sowing the seed, it will be worked into the soil by the seed drill, anti materially stimulate the early growth and hasten the maturity of the plant. It will be labor lost to attempt to raise a crop of carrots where the ground is not in an excellent state of fertillity. Mellow ground’is'desirable; but the soil must be rich as well as mellow, or a paying crop cannot be produced.— N. I'. Herald.

Telegraphy.

The annual report of the Western I nion Telegraph Company for the year ending June 30th, 1873, which was published during the early part of the late panic, attracted less attention than it would have otherwise received, less than its importance demanded. Although this company is a private corporation, managed and controlled by a few large stockholders solely as a money-making affair, yet there are few matters entrusted to the General Government of greater general interest. There is necessarily entrusted to it the most important correspondence, both mercantile and financial. A large banking business is transacted by’ its bureau for the transfer of money. Prices in all the principal marts of the country for all articlesjof merchandise are regulated by the daily reports from its commercial bureau. with the Associated Press, it collects, collates, tfhd furnishes to the daily papers all over the country their telegraphic, dispatches, the most important news they publish, the first and often the only part of the paper read. It has become the educator of the people, and its influences is.daily extending, until it has become essential to the success of many departments of business. It has over 150,000 miles of wire stretchjng along every railway and reaching every important place. Its’annual receipts are nearly $10,000,000, a larger amount than the Postoffice Department received ten years ago. A corporation wielding such immense power is not a private company; but one in which every citizen has a direct and personal interest. The average rate of messages has been reduced in six years frdin sl.lO to 61 cents and the business has been doubled. This great reduction-4n rates has been followed by a slight increase in the net income of the company, -k. The average rate is still much higher than in any other country, and so high as to prevent, .the, use of the telegraph by any’ except the rich and those compelled to use it. The report says that heretofore the competition from rival lines has been the most potent cause in operation for compelling the company to reduce its rates; but that it is now relieved from all fear * ' ~ Y T. ~ ""'. ■ —— ■

from this service, as it has recently purchased nearlv all the opposition lines, and at the present’rates “ it is impossible for any competing company to realize profits, and all are believed to be operating at a loss, and the time is not, therefore, when the company will be without a substantial competitor.” From this .frank and public-statement it appears that a change will now be made in its policy, and tb it the public cannot expect further reduction in rates. Abroad the telegraph is connected with the postoffice, and the people use it freely as they do the mails. We do not believe, however, that our Government should interfere in private matters, nor that the power of the Executive should lie enlarged; but the duty of transmitting correspondence was devolved upon Congress by the founders of our Republic, and, as it has wisely undertaken this business, and performed it to the satisfaction of the people, there is every reason why it should now adopt this, the latest, improvement for its rapid transmission. It ie o f ten said that corporations can perform any business cheaper than the Government,; Admitting the general truth of this proposition, it yet does not apply to the telegraph, for the agencies now 'employed by the Post-offlee Department for receiving and delivering letters would be used for the telegraphic letter. The present clerks could perform all the office business, thus greatly reducing the expenses, if the Postmaster-Gen-eral was authorized to contract for the transmission of .telegrams, as lie now contracts tor+iretransmission of the mails, at rates fixed by Congress. A bill lor the purpose of connectingthe telegraph with the Post-office Department authorizing the Postmaster-General to contract for the transmission of telegrams, vvas -reported by committees of the Senate and House of Representatives at the last Congress, This proposition, we presume, will come up for action the ensuing winter and we trust will become a law. Tlie rates fixed by the bill are nearly 50 per cent, below present charges, while the length of the telegram is 80 per cent, greater. Night telegrams -will be transmitted at a still greater reduction. The charge of a telegraphic letter of 25 words sent by night 1,500 miles or less will be only 25 cents. Such .low rates will make the telegraph a public bleskihg’Tirihg ffwltliin the reach of all, and enable the press to establish new and independent news associations. We shall refer again to this subject.— The Independent. Don’t Tamper with a Cold.—Perhaps in -thtmvhofe 'Category of diseases to -which humanity is susceptible, the cough is most neglected in its early stage. A simple cough is generally regarded as a temporary alfiiction— ' unpleasant and nothing more; but to those who have paid dearly for experience, it is the signal for attack for the most fearful of all diseases—Consumption. A cough will lead to consumption—if not checked —so sure as the rivulet leads to the river, yet it is an easy enemy to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Mmy times Women call upon their family physicians, one witlr dyspepsia, another with palpitation, another with trouble of the breast, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent doctors, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all symptoms caused by some uterine’disorder; and while they are thus only able perhaps to palliate for a time., they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage their practice until large bills are made, when the suffering patients are no better in the end, but probably worse for the delay,—treatment, and other complications made, and which a proper medicine directed to the cause would have entirely removed, thereby instituting health and comfort instead of prolonged misery. From Miss Lorinda E. St, Clair, Shade, Athens Co., O , Oct. 14th, 1872: “Dr. 11. V. Pierec, Buffalo, N.
