How TO Reform.

The remedy for canal frauds, and for
all the jobbery and knavery with which
our politics are infested, is the resumption
by the people Of the control of their own
affairs. The emily way for them to secure
that control is to take possession of it at
the source. Let not the most insignificant
fraction of delegated power be intrusted
to man whose character and purposes
are doubtful We know that the complete
performance of such duty as the selec-
ton of the fttest men for all places OF
trust is impossible. Yet it is always
practicable to do something. There Is
always better and worse course to be
taken. Bad men are very seldom the
majority i'll any community, and even
most bad men-in fact, all but the very
worst-prefer good government to organ
lied robbery. But good men are often
lazy and averse to putting themselves to
trouble. Politics, they say, is too dirty
a business for them to mix themselves
in. Now, this way of looking at
things must be abandoned, if govern
ment is to be anything better than Il
curse. In their own defense, honest and
well.meaning men are called upon to use
the power which our Institutions give
them to govern themselves. They must
show that politically they are capable OF
something better than playing the part
of mere voting machines, without any
reel voice as to who shall govern, or.
rather, plumber them. Government Is
now polluted stream, and the pollution
is introduced at the springs and rlIls
which are its sources. If the people
would take care to send the right
men to the petty conventions
and caucuses, they would not have to la
ment the gigantic corruption which rules
at Albany and Washington. Mere de-
clamatiUn over the degencracy Of the
times and denunciatiOn Of pubic men
will not do any good. The evil VIII
on take another shape, and tn" disease
will rage the more dcstructivcly
for being temporarily driven
beneath the surface. To
suppress the canal ring, it Is necessary to
deprive its members of the control which
they exert by their money and patronage
over the caucuscs and conventions. This
involves radical reform and publication
of the politics of the State. That Is no
holiday work, but the time and the cir
cumstances are favorable, and we hope
and trust that the opportunity will not
be suffered to pass unheeded.-ffa"h

Grating Wax.

In making preparation of beeswaX,
resin and tallow. to apply TO newly set
cions, we have repeatedly given tnil di-
rections. Ours is to Use warm, in liquid
state, applied with II small, thin, wooden
paddle, which can be done rapidly and
perfectly. We have ourselves, unassist-
ed, set seventy pear gratis in two hours,
using the wax rs we recommended in Il
liquid state, and every one of which grew
and became a part of the tree.
The proportions we use are-tour parts
of resin, one part Of beeswaX and one
part of beefor mutton tallow. Melt them
together in skillet (which is the best
or lineup, and melt well. 1t should
remain in the vessel and use as needed.
Twenty or thirty cions can be waXed
with one heating up. When much graft
ing is to be done, little fire for heating
the wax should be made on the spot, be-
tween two bricks or stones Germ0H-
torn Teiegrdph.

4 Square iscue,

The New York .Stm looks upon the
testimony in the Beecher trial as the
most astounding ever known i'll court
of law. and says that Mr.. Beccher has
,quarely made the issue on the perjury
OF Tilton, Moulton and Mrs. Moulton,
but thinks it wise to wait before arriving
at any definite conclusion as to the verI-
~ or faisehood of either party. Says
the editor: "There is long and bitter
fight vet ahead in Brooklyn, and no wise
man will venture to prophesy whose
funeral or how many funerals it will re-
suit in. A square issue has been joined
with Tilton, Moulton, and Mrs. Moulton
ON the one side, and Mr. Bcecher on the
other, and the party found guilty Of per
Jury should receive every punishment
that the law and public opinion can IN
liCt.

Relative Cost of Butter and Beef

Did it ever occur to any of your readers
that it takes more feed to make pound
of beef than II pound of butter? y good
COW ia milk, well cared for, will make
200 pounds of butter in season, worth
from $50 to SO; but dry COW, with the
same feed will not gain as much in weight
in the same time, nor will she be worth
N, much rs the butter from the dairy COW,
and the mich COW is left. An acquain-
lance of NINE is fattening an OK, and IN
sixty days he had fed him 800 pounds OF
meal, at cost of fifteen dollars, with
only 100 pounds net gain in weight

STEPS are being taken by several OF the
States and Kingdoms of Europe to effect
nm extensive substitution of gold for sill
Yer in current use As circulating mcdi-
um. There has been recently issued in
Germany l,ll4OO0OOO marks in gold
coin, and Il still greater amour It's to be
put in circulation. Amark is equivalent
to about twenty-four cents. Belgium
is putting out gold coin Mt the rate
of j0,0O0O0O francs annually. In Hol-
land, $l90,e00,OO0 gold coin is
needed, and France imported las. year
43l. O640OO francs worth of gold more
than she exported. Ofcourse such move
ments will materially affect the relative
market value ofgold and silverin the mar
kcts of the world.

The Sedgwick County Republican
Ticket.

The gratifying news reaches us from
nearly every township in Sedgwick
county that the Republicans, in the
main, most heartily endorse the action
of their delegates in the nomination
of the ticket found at the head of this
paper. There is here aud there Re-
publican who thinks that in some par
ticular Instances mistake was made
by the convention, or that the ticket
might have been strengthened by some
name not found there, but upon the
whole the ticket is meeting with a
hearty endorsement.
Our friends, the Democrats, are OF
course crying Justify that the ticket is
weak one, and that several men upon
will be defeated. Such a declaration
is 10 be expected. Ii mainly tickles a
few soreheads and their friends who
were defeated in the convention, and
such weakened Republicans as let
their personal prejudices get away
with their party loyalty, but does not
in the least, affect the great body of
Republicans in the county who are de-
sirous of the triumph OF Republican
doctrines, and so let our democratic
brethren keep up their cry.
