do Senator Thurman injustice in this

to do Senator Thurman injustice in this
matter.
The charge that Senator Thurman was
the paid agent of the Atlantic & Pacific
Railroad was eAeCtually settled by Judge
Baker, attorney for that road. He says
most emphatically that Senator Thurman
"never, in any manner had any connec-
ton with the Atlantic & Pacific road, and
was never consulted about its affairs,
that "the Atlantic & Pacific Co., never
had two bills before Congress-" that
"they did, however, favor the bill chang
ing the name of the Indian Territory
but Mr. Thurman was opposed to them,
and fought the bill from the first to the
last" Judge Baker attended to this busi-
ness himself.
Judge Thurman was selected by the
bondholders of the Atlantic q Great
Western Road for his national reputation
and for his ability and honesty. These are
the very qualities the people of this
country want in candidate for Presi-
dent.
As to the charge that Senator Thurman
favors National Banks, his record in the
United States Senate shows both by votes
and speeches that he thinks the green.
back currency the preferable. No pub
lie man. in or out of Ohio, has fairer or
more consistent record. We are no mans
man, but propose to vindicate the right,
and to defend the fair fame of honest
men andrepresentative Democrats from
SANDERS tongue.

THE Chicago Tribune has discovered
that the tariff resolutions of the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Republican State Conven-
tions are "diametrically opposite" This
is difficult to understand when it is
known that the resolution adopted at
Columbus has no specific meaning, and
may be made to cover either tariff for
revenue only, or the stiffest sort of pro-
lection, as it happens to be interpreted.
1t is a conventional straddle on that is

And, the "happy family" is not unit
on the Resumption of last winter. The
Repository believes Sherman and the Re-
sumption law infallible, while the Alll-
ance Review and Cleveland Leader think
it humbug. See an article in this paper
from the two last named journals.

ALL those who read the Congressional
proceedings have noticed that, on allfnan-
siaE questions, our Democratic Senator,
Thurman, always votes with or on the
same side as our other Ohio Sena-
tor, John Sherman. Sherman leads and
Thurman follows.-Cin. Enquirer, april 8.
The Enquirer boys ought to know that
bare-faced and willful lying does not be-
come newspaper claiming to be Demo-
cratic. Let them dare to publish Judge
Thurman's votes. Did he not vote against
the passage of the bill to pay the 500
bonds in gold? And a year ago did he
not oppose sherman's resumption act
If the Enquirer will utter untruth give it
to the radicals, but there is so much that
is true to be said ofthem, lying is wholly
unnecessary there.

THE CHARGES AGAINST SENATOR
TIL HURMAN.

Of late the radical and other journals
opposed to Senator Thurman were busy
assailing him with charges various in
character, but one by one they have COM
pletely vanished. The last one has been
settled by the card of w. P. Shattuc,
General Passenger Agent of the Atlantic
& Great Western Railway, and which we
gave in full in last weeks DEMOCRAT. Mr.
Shattuc's card is dated Cincinnati, March
90th, and in it he says he is the ''only of
ficer now on the road who was connected
with it before and at the time Mr.. Thur
man was one of its Trustees" and knows
whereof he writes; that "Mr. Thurman
was solicited to act as one of the Trustees
by the bondolders under an agreement
signed by several hundred individual
holders, and concurred in by all that
"the same agreement stipulated What cOmpen-
Sation was 10 be paid, and the amount re-
ceived by the Trustees was paid by the
bondholders individually, and not by the
company or the road, so that the books
of the company do not show, as has been
asserted, what amounts were paid to the
Trustees )" that at the time Mr.. Thurman
was appointed Trustee railway credit,
both in this country and in Europe was
greatly depressed, and it was necessary
to have at the head of the reorganization
gentlemen of established national reputa-
ton for ability and honesty, and for THIS
REASON Mr.. Thurman was sought out and
engaged. Mr.. Shattuc is Republican,
but he would not remain silent and thus
scquiesce in the effort that was making

EXPOSURES of official corruption con-
tinue at Washington. Great must be the
scandal in the eyes of other nations.
That the cause of popular government
must suffer by those corruptions, is dis
regarded by the wretches who have pro-
fitted by them. In almosHevery instance
the finger of evidence points to the
President as being an accomplice Of the
evil doers. His brother Orville has by
his own testimony been convicted of
being national parasite. Sale of post
traderships, railroad swindles, Emma
Mine jobberies, Black Friday conspi-
racies and revenue frauds bespeak a
fearful state of national corruption; but
they are as nothing compared with the
complacency, nay, approval, with which
the nation seems to regard them. Should
we not erect thieves gallery in our
Centennial Hall, and as one of our
greatest glories adorn it with the por-
traits ofsomeofour most cherished states

WHAT is "loyal7" This may become
a question, especially if our political op-
ponents shall resort to calling bad names
with view to retaining power. Ifsuch
men as Belknap, Babcock, Joyce, Mac
donald, "Boss" Shepherd, and the rest
are "loyal" and lovely, and must be held
entitled to all proper consideration, not
withstanding their delinquencies, we
ought to know it without delay.

THE Columbus correspondent of the
Enquirer, in his personal sketches of the
Ohio Senate, thus notices the Senator
from this district:
A. R. Haines, representing Carroll and
Stark, is another tiller ofthe soil. although
a large portion of his life has been spent
as a merchant. He is forty-seven years
of age, and square every time. He is
dyed in the wool as far as his Democracy
goes, and will do to bet on. He has been
a faithful guardian of the agriculturist
and has made an excellent record. He
is the author of the game bill now in the
hands of the Committee on Agriculture
in the House.

On Grants Doom" the New York Sun


thus concludes leading editorial
No former President ever ventured to
defy public opinion, violate law, trample
on propriety, and protect rascality as
Grant has done during the last seven
years, with the consent and cooperation
of the party which he has ruled with alb.
solute power. The Shepherds, Spencers,
Sawyers, Caseys, Vests, McDonalds, Kill
bourns, Joyces, Babcocks, Luckeys, and
that plundering crew of adventurers and
rogues, were and are still among his in
Innate friends most trusted confidants.
Their Counsels, heated with whisky and
jobbery, were preferred to the advice of
the best and wisest Senators and Repre-
sentatives. They have practically sha-
ped the policy of the party and inhuen-
Ced its measures in Coz gress. In few
months more Grant will be shorn of his
power, and he must then drop dishonor-
ed among the companions best suited to
his gross tastes aud low habits. There
is no future for him after he is elected
from the Presidency, but return to his
old associations in st. Louis, from which
he was extricated by the war. AS a pub
lie man his career will soon be ended
and he will 60 into exile with his laurels
as soldier irreparably tarnished, and
his character as man hopelessly degra-
ded to the level of Boss Shepherd and
his cronies.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.-The farm resi-
dence of Jacob Harman, two miles from
town, on the Harrisburg road, was bur-
glarized on Sunday night or Monday
morning. The light-handed gentry were
quiet, and did not disturb the family
much. They made but poor haul, not
tapping the proper till indeed, our friend
Harman is prudent man, and does not
keep his bank much at home. The tads
entered at the buttery window by fore
ing it up, rumaged freely and confused
things, took out Mr.. Harman's clothing
and captured wallet with $3.50 and a
silver watch worth SIS so. The spoons
that looked like silver they did not take,
breaking one to seeit it was genuine clear
through. Mrs. Harman awoke, and hear
ing a door close, called their son, think
ing ne had come down stairs this awoke
Mr.. H. who soon got up, and soon dis
covered the house had been pretty thor
oughly ransacked below. A horse collar,
left by the scamps, was afterwards found
at the fence where they entered the
yard, showing hasty leaving or forget
fulness. We warn all to be on the alert
for such marauders. We hope to hear
ofthem soon falling into the proper hands
and being treated as all such creatures
deserve.

Agricultural Reading Cheaper than Dirt.

Mr.. 7. B. Miner sends to the editor Of the
FARMER a circular letter offering to send
printed slips of a column a week Of original
matter evidently printed from the type of
some paper in which they have already ap-
pcared) under the head of "Rural Topics :"
which is to be sent also to largo number of
other papers and are expected to be printed
as original communications to the FARMER.
Mr.. Miner modestly claims "without egtoism
to be the best HUing lOriter on rural sub
jcctS in the United States" All this for the
Insignificant sum of % cents each Further
more this "best living writer" states that he
shall consider all as subscribers and shall
forward copy regularly unless ordered imme-
diately to send no more.
The gentleman is informed that the FARM
Err is not in the habit of printing as original
communications articles which have pre-.
viously appeared in other papers, aud is not
conducted on the New York or "Patent
outside" plan. Will this man of intellect
please send his bill for sample and consider

Cows In Spring.

The FARMER has recently mentioned the
subject Of the care Of cows and heilers prior
to calving. At this season of the year,
when cows do mostly contribute to the IN
crease Of the Bovine race, precautionary
measures may save garget, milk fever and
other losses. 1t is better for the COW 10
take the calf away the moment it is born,
without her seeing it if possible. Then she
does not worry, hold up her milk and refuse
her food on account of the calf. If the
udder is iuAamed the very best thing to do
with it is to keep it relieved from the pres
sure of milk. 1t may be advisable in some
cases to draw the milk frequently for a few
days, bathing the udder with warm water
and rubbing it thoroughly. The teats are
very apt to become sore in spring from the ef-
fects of cold winds and other causes. A dress.
ing of glycerine after milking, first washing
the teats, and wiping partly dry, il season.
ably applied, will save much suffering to
the COW, annoyance to the mixer, and loss
Of milk from the COW holding it up or plac,
ing her foot in the pail.
Too much pains cannot be taken to avoid
a chill or taking cold Take the chill of
the water for drink avoid drafts, standing
or lying in water and excitement, for a
couple of weeks. Then come on to the
usual temperature of water by degrees
These httlo things are much easier than
curing garget or milk fever The latter Is
often fatal, no treatment being Of any avail
unless speedily given. Bran mashes, root:
and relaxing food are favorable to safety
but they should not be carried to the extent
of producing securing. The COW needs nour
ishing food at this time as much as ever in
her life but it should not be heat and fever
makers, like corn meal.
The usefulness of the COW through tn,
season depends on sustaining the flow o
mix until she gets good pasture feed
Bright early cut hay, reasonable allowance
of grain, roots, regular watering, dry, warm
comfortable quarters, kind treatment an,
good mixers are necessary.

Shearing Twice a Year in California.

A Sacramento correspondent of Coleman's
Rural World says, the California shepherds
shear twice year as means Of preserving the
health Of the sheep. Only four or FIVE
months intervene between the spring and
fall shearing and the growth is very short,
only quarter Of an Inch to an inch, yet, il
allowed to remain, it will cause itching, from
the dirt and sand that collects in the fleece
during the dry summer The rain sOitens
this dirt into pulp, and it combines with
the wool into a crust, like felt, so that when
the warm weather of February comes, it
produces an irritation aud fever that loosens
the wool and distresses the sheep, and there
is a loss Of fleece aud condition, too. If any
scab exists, these circumstances combine to
aggravato the disease to fatal results. BY
this fall clipping, the sheep is relieved Of this
accumulation OF dirt, and the rains cleanse
tho skin. II, as is usual here in the valley,
dipping for scab is given twice year, the
sheep are kept in very healthy condition.
The scab there is much more aggravated and
difficult to eradicate than with US. The frost
aud irsezings do not destroy it from the
ranges At the time Of dipping they fnd
the skin thekened like loitsse shell aud II
is necessary to take the hand aud break it
up, so the dip can reach the disease 10 eiIoct
a cure. 1t will crack open on the back aud
neck producing fearful distress aud death
This is the only disease Of sheep here, aud il
has to bo watched aud treated. They ar,
fixed to dip them by the wholesale, by driy
ing them through trough Of warm sou
ton Of tobacco aud sulphur Ten thousand
have been dipped in Que day with ease, =,
well aud perfect arc their arrangements io
