LIKE NAN, LIKE DOG.

TTT '|t h.A
1t has come to such a pass that
a republican oficiab cannot show
evidence Of common honesty and
pIobity without being accused
from the ranks of his own party,
Of going . to those sad dogs
the democrats. This is an awful
state of affairs and whether its
moral is that a republican official
should studiously retain from such
acts as would make him CON
spicuous and q target for these ac'
cusations and denuneiations, or
whether it asserts the that a
conscientious man should not he a
republican official, we will not ven
ture to say. We leave all this to
therdispassionate, unbiased judg-
ment of the intelligent, non-office-
holding reader If he has sense
enough to cast an enthusiastic
vote we give him credit for enough
patriotism and honest discretion to
make a wise choice. Upon the
people do all the results OF bad,
dishonest government fall and for
our part, being ofthe suffering class
we will not deny them the common
quality of shrewdness in business
, affairs. as much involved in this as
in anything.
Some time ago we noted the
fact that Gov. CHAMBERLAIN, OF
! South Carolina, had refused to
| commission Moss and WHIPPER,
two notorious scnundrels, who, in
the absence of the Governor, the
| legislature had elected TO the
iudgeships Of two of the most i'm.
portant judicial circuits. of. the
state. For so doing CHAMBERLAIN
was most bitterly denounced by
his party as a recreant to his par
tisan fidelity. This, too, when
the infamous character of these
men was as widely notorious as
their names. BUTT matterea not
Character passes for nothing with
the dominant party in thatuDhap,
ny state, and the storm of indig
nation was 80 violent that
CHAM LA Kquailed before 1t, and
has written a letter in which he
afirms his faithfulness to his party
and dpscpnds to the folly OF ex.
planning to fools and knaves the
reason for his refusal to commits
sion MosEs and WHIPPER. That
refusal indicated honesty but his
declaration of fealty to a party
whose utter corruption was so un-
deniably manifested by the oc.
casion for such declaration shows.
simply, that CAAMBEREAIS did not
have an accurate estimate Of the
disgusting immortality Of his party.
He thought, perhaps. the people h"
served were honest, but he has
realized that they are as bad as
the men they select to represent
them.

sPIRACY.
CoNsTANIINOPLE, Dec. 2O.-Although the Govern
ment is carefully intoxicating belief in the pcrma-
ucnce of the present lul in politics, il is straning
every nerve to put heavy force into the field at
once. The points Of rendezvous for troops are, in
Asiatic Turkey, Kars and Bayazid, with Erzroom
for headquarters of the department and in Euro
pcan Turkey, the line Of the Danube from Rustchuk
to WIddin. with headquarters al Shoomla; and the
Servian frontier, from Noyi Pazar TO Swornik,
with headquarters at Nlsch. Some troops are
still sent into Herzegovina, where the fighting is to
last all Winter. The Turks here are greatly iTi-
tated because they feel that the troops in IIerzc-
govina suffering far severely than the ncces-
stiles of the occasion demand. This is most prob
ably true 1t would be quite out Of character for
the Commissariat or Quartcrmaster's Department 10

will fight well if they have good officers. They
come in from the interior of Asia Minor dressed in
cotton trousers and striped hOmespun jackets with
rawhide sandals hut in a surprisingly short time
they acquire a military bearing and look well in
their new uniforms.
The people Of the city little more inclined
TO secrecy in their expressions Of political
opinion than ! have known them before
This shows certain atmospheric change
Of opinion from security to a sense of i'm
pending trouble. The Moslems are becoming
sccretive. MOhammedan friends avoid my eye
when meet them, and the rumOrs usual AT critical
times Of probable massacres, give the reason for
this. Last week a number of the Ulema Learned

and imprisoned by martial law. These Ulema are
great obstacles to freedom Of action by the Govern
ment; but, although they are narrow enough

moved from his house by the police. At the same
time tho police have searched the crypts Of the

urally. but no newspaper dare mention them.

Alfalfa.

Having had considerable experience
with lucerine or alfalfa, in the river
Plata region of South America, and also
here, I write to say that I think it the
most valuable grass sown. It will yield
four crops year here, and all stock are
fond of it, and it does not salivate like
clover. 1t should be sown on rich land,
we'll prepared, twenty ponds ofseed per
acre broadcast. 1t is time, labor and
money thrown away to drill it or to work
it. The first crop may have weeds and
the second few, but the third will be
clear lucerine; this used to be my expe-
riencc in South America, where weeds
grew faster than in any other place ]
ever knew. l think spring the best time
to SOW, but it will do in the fall. ]
sowed some the 9Th of last October, and
in a weeks time will begin cutting the
fourth crop. 1t should not be grazed,
and when cut it should be cut of even
with the ground, so that no stubble will
form. 1t makes excellent hay when
properly cured.-Cor. NJ y Tribune.

A Good Wash for RO0StS.

A good wash for roosts, to he applied
once or twice a week during the warm
season, will be found in kerosene, or
crude petroleum. This should be ap-
piled with a coarse sponge or common
paint brush, in the early day time, so
that it will soak into the perches, or dry
of comparatively. before the fowls 60 to
roost. This effectually destroys the lice
upon the perches, and the strong fumes
that remain after application for time,
aid in driving vermin from the bodies Of
the fowls during the night. Care should
be taken in not using this powerful agent
too generously. But if judiciously ap
piled to the roosts and to insides and bot
toms of laying boxes. its advantage will
quickly be realized by those who have
never tried this experiment to rid their
fowls of the annoyance of this hen house
pest, which so rapidly generates in the
interior of poultry buildings, especially
in our warmer months.-Poultry World
