Democratic Distrust.

The grand rsllying of the Repub-
lican party displeases the Democrats.
But they have themselves to thank
for it. One winters trial of Democ-
racy has been enough. Those who
were most dissatisfied with the con-
duct of some Republican leaders feel
as keenly as the most thorough par>
tizans that it would BIO not only q
positive evil but decidedly dangerous
to iatrust unrestrained power to the
Democratic party. Hence it is, that
Liberals, Independents, and anti
Grant Republicans gather to the sup
port of Hayes and Wheeler quite as
earnestly as those members of the
party who claim the best record for
"regularity." The Union League
Club and the Republican Reform
Club favor the nominations with
fully as much sincerity, we venture
to say, as the most active Custom
House politician, and the same spirit
appears in the press and in local rat
ification meetings of other cities.
LII Wow VI luCs0 ADMINISTRATORS, Ln6
Democrats are somewhat disposed to
sheer at the sincerity of Reform Re-
publicans. The Democratic record
supplies the sufficient answer.
Once for all, let it be understood
that the profound distrust of the
Democratic party, which now
prompts Liberals and Independents
to embrace with pleasure the oppor-
tunity of supporting a good Republi-
can ticket, is the result of Democrat
is misconduct. Men feel that it is
not possible to trust party which,
placed on trial during the winter pre-
ceding Presidential campaign, has
behaved so badly. Its promises Of
retrenchment and reform, tested by
its acts, seem insincere. Its profess
ed readiness to let 'sbygones be by
cones" is disproved by the persistent
selection, in place of the ablast and
purest independents, of men whose
chief virtue is that they did not op
pose the rebellion. It's tendency
toward repu 1iation is such as to
alarm every man who cares for the
oublic bonor.-N. Y Tribune

The Signers of the Declaration of In
dependence.

The following facts respecting the
personality of the illustrious men
who imperiled their liberty and their
lives by attaching their signatures TO
that instrument which established
our national Independence will be
read with interest by all the lovers
of liberty:
The thirteen States then compris-
ing the American colonies were rep
resented in the assemblage that pass
ed the measure by ffty.one mem
bers. Thirty-seven enjoyed the ben
efts Of collegiate training, twenty
were lawyers, four were physicians,
five were cIergymen, three were
farmers, and tho remainder were en-
gagged in various mercantile pursuits,
except Roger Sherman, the shoe
maker, and Benjamin Franklin, who
boosted OF being printer, yet was a
statesman and a philosopher. Ben
iamin Franklin was the oldest among
the mbers, and Edward Rutledge
the youngest. Robert Morris was
the mos, opulcnt, and was the finan-
cier of the administration, negotiat
ing extensive loans for tho use of the
government upon his personal credit
He died in prison, having been incar-
cerated for debt, beautiful common
tary on those laws that made no dis
elimination between the honest but
unfortunate debtor and the convicted
felon. Daniel Adams was the most
needy, his impoverished condition
being we'll known. The manage
ment of his pecuniary affairs made ii
necessary for him to seek Il burial at
the public expense. Josiah Bartlett
was the first to vote for the measure,
and first after President Hancock to
sign tho document. Two of the
members, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson, were subsequently, Presi
dents. 1t is remarkable fact that
these two men, having been Presl-
dents, associated on the COMMITTEES
that framed the Declaration of indie
pendence, and the first recognized
leaders of two great political factions
of our country, died on the same day,
the 4th of July, 1926, the fftieth an
niversary of the day upon which they
had contributed so much to the well
fare of their eountrymen. Charles
Carroll was the only member that
added his place of residence, and the
reason of its being done in this in.
stance is somewhat peculiar. The
patriots that formed that convention
knew full we'll that by their action on
that day they hazarded thoir lives.
When Carroll was signing, some one
rem arked, che will get off, there are
so many CAROLS they will not know
which to take" "Not So" replied
be, and Immediately added .s'of Car
rol,on." He lived to see all the
memorable men with whom he acted
on that eventful day pass away, and
enjoyed the prosperity of bis country
until 1882, when he died in his ninety
fifth year

Curing Hay In the Cock.

As | have never seen a method
like mine for cutting and curing hay
mentioned in your most valuable
journal, thought | would write il
out, hoping thereby to help some be-
ginner in the business.
As it is an established and admit
ted fact that we must cut hay carly,
how shall we best preserve it, in its
purity is the question. Now, those
who are lucky enough to have the
"wherewith" TO purchase haycaps,
tedders, &c, will tell Us that single
day will cure Il quite enough to have
it keep well. But what shall others
do who do not have these helps ?
For moro than fifteen years I have
endeaVored to cut the clover as soon
as in full bloom. but more recent
ly have come to the conclusion that
If the weather promises well, it is not
best TO wait for few blossoms TO
come out Cut il when the dew is
all eff letting it lie Que night, open
it next day and improve ell the sun
shine. Now, if fairly wilted, make
the cocks larger, and let them stand
one or two days, and if they are not
dry enough so as not to sour in the
NOW, you must open out again F; but
if otherwise, let them stand, only de-
ing this-commence and cock them
over letting them cure in the cock
rather than by the sun.
Persons using this kind of feed for
their cattle, will make as much but,
ter in Decemb Der as in June, prov ided
the cows are in fresh milking condi-
ton. Clear timothy managed in this
way, is worth fifty per cent. moro
than that which has been cut and
put into the barn and allo wed to be-
come hot and burnt in tho NOW.
| have often seen hay that had an
ash-colored appearance, and very
dusty, that was not very much bet
ter than bright straw. Do not fear
q shower if the hay is well put up in
good sized heaps, even if you do not
have them capped. You can cut and
put up in the way described, and be
much better pleased with the result
than by hurrying it into the barn.
In short cut early, wilt it, dry it in
heaps rather than in the sun. |
have had, in some seasons, Wee 8
work in heaps before puttisg any in
the barn. But it must be remem ber-
ed changed them by carefully
changing the top to the bottom,

say, but when you get ton in it is
almost as good as ton of Western
