WHERE is THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

WHERE Is THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?
If the opinions Of the press, Republi-
can as well as Democratic, is to be consid-
cred good evidence, the free-Soil party so
called, has been going to pieces ever since
the excited canvass OF 1896, and may be
now considered as dissolved Western
Chronicle.
We suppose this learned and candid ed
tor finds the evidence of the above in the
fact, that the Governor of every northern
State but two is Republican; nearly ev-
cry Legislature is Republican and that
party was never on hrmer foundation, or
gaining strength faster, than at the present
time. What will candid men think of cd
itors who are driven to such shallow devil

with his antagonist ON him; and every

his face, the pummeled cries, will you

Whereas, In consequence Of the uneX-

expenses Of carrying on the State Govern
ment for the past three years, over the three
preceding years, Notwithstanding the pro-
portioaate increase Of tdrcS levied during
said time
Mr.. Chase has read his party papers and
perhaps believes his assumption. If so,
we refer him to Il single fact During his
" three preceding years. they raised an
average annual tax of $4,000 on an aver
age valuation of SOC, $4,000; while for
the three years Of Republican power, but
S63, 800 average per annum was raised on
yaluasion of SI3I, $4,000 Their tax
was ffty-fve hundredths on mill on the
dollar, for the three years, while for our
three years, it was but forty eight hun
dreths of a mill.
So much for Mr. Chase's proportion

average tax was one and half mills-and

al action to separate ii from the fiber. This
it does, 10 be sure. and this would be
sufficient reason for washing the sheep, If
the water did nohing else. But this is real
ly the smallest part of what good sheep
washing does. You have perhaps noticed,
on the finer wooled sleep especially, exu-
dation near tie skin. You will see il nearly
all over good sheep, but most on the breast
AM shoulders. Now this is a secretion
from the glands Of the skin, and serves, it
is supposed IAN important purpose in refn-
ing the fiber, and in proleciingthe animal.
But the fact about it which has most to do
with the sheep-washing. is the following
This yellow gum, called Yolk, from i.s re
semblaace to the yolk of an egg, is largely
composed of potash and oil. 1t is, in short.
a sort of natural formed soap, which when
the sheep is plunged into tie water. is dis
solved, and acts as a powerful cleanser Of
the whole fleece. 1t is as If fine soap had
been intimately mixed with il down TO the
skin, just before washing the sheep. The
cwner of sheep who keeps this fact in mind.
will see the Importance OF several things,
which we will mention.
/. lie viii do well 10 wet the sheep, let
them stand little while before washing
them thoroughly. This will allow the ai
of the yolk TO act freely. 2. lfhe can
wash his sheep in clear soft water, this
will be better than hard water 3. lie Will
find il good for this, as well as for other
reasons, TO wait I'LL the weather and water
is mild, for the soap acts belt thal The
water is very cold. 4. He will see the i'm
portance Of shelteriny the flock from long
and continued rain. These dissolve The
yolk, and lower the quality of the wool. be-
sides chilling and weakening themselves
