Form the Ohio Statesman.
Agricultural Politics.

The Rural New Yorker. an agricultu
raj journal OF large circulation, dOesn'
dabble in politics, but has, nevertheless
recently offered the farmers some SOUND
political advice. Itthinlss that natiOna
reform party could safely adopt any one
Of the following tickets in the next Pres
idential race:
! Horace Greeley (R.), OF New York
the empire State OF the North: Joshua
Hill, tD.l, OF Georgia, the empire State
Of the South.
Charles Francis Adams. d. ], of Mas.
sachuselts Gratz Brown r., of Miss0ri
Lyman Trumbull RI, OF Illinois
Joel Parker, 2 lD.l: Of New Jersey;
W. S. Groesbeck 10: ]. of Ohio Marsh
al T. Wilder lR.], Of Massachusetts.
Jacob d. Cox fR.], Of Ohio; James L.
Orr ID. j of Sonth Carolina.
S. j. Tilden ID. J. Of New York; Aus
tin Blair fR.], OF Michigan.
A ticket might chosen from among
these that it would he safe to risk, but it
would not bc difficult 10 select another
that would carry more weight with il
before the people. A ticket, for instance,
suggests the Louisville Couricr-J ournal,
made up Of Judge David Davis, OF Illi-
nois, and Samuel j. 1'illeil, of New York
would be quite as good as the best Of
them. The New Yorker suggests the
following platform:
/. Only one Presidential terIntof six
or eight years. z. Such reform in the
civil service as would prevent tho abuse
of the appointing power and its pros,i-
tuition for partisan ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 3.
No more grants of public lands 10 rail.
ways or other corporations. 4. An In
dian policy which would recognize the
Indians as citizens and treat them as
such. 8. Abolition of the income tax.
6. Reduction Of .taxation to the lowest
point possible and meet the just demands
and obligations of the Government. Z.
An economical administration OF affairs.
3. No reputation of the national debt.
>. Reduction of rates of dostage to the
lowest possible point and the abolition
of the traMking privilege. 10. A liberal
regard for and support of all scientific
Investigations that tend to aid in the
Of our resources and to
promote the general prosperity and APP
prcciatc the standard of general intelli-
gcncc. II. y firm and dignified posi-
tion relative TO other nations, and swift
and effective defense Of our flag and Of
American citizenship in all parts Of the
world. II. Last. but not least, universal
TO all who uphold the Union.
Very good indeed for an agricultural
platform. We doubt if the great farmcrI
Jf Chappaqma himself could. upon the
,pnr OF tho moment, suggest micl,

4 Funny Sci,Os,l Incident.

The teacher Of one OF our primary
schools Mr.. Buhmler is ambitious to tcah
her little folks 10 compose, ,and not only 10
compose hut write. spell, punct,atc and
capitalize, all in the same lesson. Thus
she has habit Of writing word OIL the
blackboard, wlici, she requests the
children TO use as the subject Of sem
tcncc. On yesterday she wrote the word
chimney. and set all the youngsters at
work cudgcling their brains for a sem
tenre in which that word should have a
leading part. Finally the states were
brought to her TO read the various sem
,cnccs that had been made. Among the
rest she came 10 this one, which, much
TO the qualification Of a certain little boy
who had by this time discovered his
error, sho omitted 10 read:
Il do not wear shilnlncy. for | am
no. a girl. for i' was a girl ] would
have 10 wear shimn,ey.'

Of lcsscning il. In any community the
hard drinkers arc always the most sensi.

only hard drinkers in the company. Oi

verely frost-bittcn also drank largely,
while those who suffered least declined
to drink at all, though urged to do SO
