Treatment of IN lnmanasrabfC Horse

tiscr says:
A beautiful and high spirited horse
woui mover allow shoe to be put OH
his feet, or any person to handle his
feet. In m attempt to shoe such
horse rc'ontly he resisted all efforts,
kicked aside everything but an anvil,
and came near killing himself against
that, and finally was brought back to
his stable unshJd. This defect was
just on tho cvo Of on,iGning him 70
tho plough, where he might work
barefoot, when an officer in our ser.
vice, lately returned from Mexico,
took cord about the size Of com.
won BEDFORD, put it in tho mounth
of the horse like Bit, and
tied it tightly on the animals
head, passing his left ear under tho
string, not painful tight enough to
keep the car down and tho cord in
its place. This done, no pattod the
horse gently Oh the side of the hoad,
and commanded him to follow; and
Instantly tho horse obeyed, perfectly
subdued, and as sgenllo and oicdient

feet to be lifted with impunity, acting

Bethel Church, where one of our

How Confisoation may DO Avoided.

How Confisoation may DO Avoided.
Tho taxes are cnorwous. Year by
year they have been increasing, and
no one can prophosy where the cx-
trcmo limit will be fixed. Land
holders nre becoming ruincd. At
every salo for delinquent taxes, own
crs SEQ thoir land escaping from their
hands without any compensation
Congressman Raincy declared thatthe
object Of tho party was to cohti.catc
land by high taxation. This object
will ero long bo attained. The land.
holder cannot hope to rctaiu all the
broad acres that have come into his
possession by descent or purchasc.---.
They will slip from his grasp. lf,
then, ho is compelled to part with
them, shall he have no voice in Sc.
lecting their future owner? AS
matters now are, he must stand Quietly
by, and sec them going to the highest
bidder, perhaps an enemy, for a song.
If the present regime remains in pow,
er, there is no alternative. The only
hope Of dcliverancc lies in bringing
about a change. Good, honest hard
working citizens must be brought
here, to utilize The dead capital ly-
ing under thcro feet. Every large
plantation must be cut up into
small farms, and tcnantcl by
Intelligent laborcrs, each of whom
will assist in bearing the burden Of
taxation. In this way, the land will
be saved from spcculating capitalists
who prey upon the miSfortuncs Of
other men.
Aud in settling lands With immi"
grants. tho lands will not bc lost. -
They will bring no Income for several
years, but after that, rich reward
will follow. Two methods are pro-
posed as inducements to immigration.
The first is to give the immigrant
land, rent free, for several years, the
landlord still retaining the title in
himself. Another, is to divide Il
tract into sections, and to girc u,cuy
each alternate tcctiUn. The remain.
ing sections will appreciate in value
after lapse Of time sufficiently TO
pny for the land thus given away
Wo do not propose to discuas these
plans in this aticlo. Our ol ct as
yet is merely to awaken our rcoric
TO the necessity for immigration, and
to the golden opportunity now offered
for supplying this necessity. After
which, we will discuss the most feast
bio method Of carrying i'tmigration
into effect.
immigration is question Of i'm
portancc TO every man, woman and
chi Id in Fairfield. Other classes
must aid the lLndholdcrs. Each class
can contribute its quota in increasing
our population. After we have had
our say with tho farmers, wo will
talk to these other classes about their
duty in this matter Of such grave i'm
port. Jlot cvcry one as he meets his
ncighbor, discuss this question Sc
ridusly. DO not dismiss tho matter
from your minds aa soon as you lay
aside your paper. If the people of
of Fairfield don't move in this mat.
tor, thoy will deserve every kind OF
injustice and oppression tho ring can
place upon them.

Immigration No. 2,

The tax returns show, that in this

vast amount only S9,2lS acres, about
one fifth aie included in the arabic
or plow lands, 1894 acres in mea
dows and pastures. The remaining
2Sl,744 acres are in forests, repre-
senting dead capital. Tho whole
amount Of real estate is much de-
prceiatcl in value. Why is this So,
Not SO much from any real dcteriora-
tion in the quality of the land itself,
as from the want Of means to utilize
It's wealth growing qualities. 1t is a

SENATOR THURMAN, in a late speech

claims to merit the Republican party
NAV have had in the past, Its rules
have ceased to govern wisely and we'll
The people no longer have confidence
in them, and the time is not lar distant,
think, when this want OF confidence
will bear its proper fruit. But let no
one suppose that victory over mlsrnls
will be gained without mighty strus-
Gle. One hundred thousand office"
holders and employees, a vast multitude
OF government contractors and parasites,
special privileges and monopoly IN ai-
most every conceivable form, will not
let 20 their hold on power and plumber
without gigantic efforts to retain 1t. But
mighty as their forces, the people II
true to themselves, are yet more
mighty" That is a true presentation
of the task before the Democratic party
and they must prepare for the contest
in the most thorough manner.

We cannot think that the Baltimore

tarily and designedly Withholding the
psymen. of its employees, as seems to be
assumed by correspondent ,his morn
ing. The delay in payment, however,
is iDflic,ing great deal OF inconVenl-
.uce upon large number OF people. AT
several points in this State the tuucs
received from the railroad company cons
s,i,u,c nearly the whole revenue. The
operatives in the employ OF tive COM
pany have to await the arrival o the
pay,car before settling With the store
keeper for groceries and oth'r goods
aod. IN his turn, the storekeeper must
iefer settlement with the wholesale deal
er until the hands on toe road are
usid. A delay On The part 0; the com
usuy thus cau-es widespread incon-
,enience and sometimes in!icts serious
embarrassment upon parties who have
no connection whatever with the road.
The money panic has doubtless had
some effect upon both travel and freight,
and while It is true that all local pas
sengers and shippers are required to
pay cash on demand. it should not be
forgotten that there may be difficulty
in obtaining from ether roads the ennis
due for through business, and it may be
owing, in part at least 10
this fact that the Baltimore
and Ohio company now owes lis
employees in ;his region nearly two
months wages, But whsteves the
cause may be it is to be hoped that
the trouble will soon cease. Payment
vas made at Cumberland last week,
aud, we believe, 3! Msrtiusburg also,
ADD we believe that employees IN this
county will be paid at an early dsr.
