The Springfield Republican gives
an explanation of the Presidents pol
icy. 1t says:
"He has sought to break down and
divide the democratic party and win
the independents, without losing any
of the republicans" That is good
deal of an undertaking. The liberal
Southern policy takes the wind out of
the sails of the democratic party, for
Mr.. Hayes is doing in the South just
what the reasonable democrats wanted
and expected Mr.. Tilden to do. By
this and the good appointments it is
hoped that the independents are salts
fed, while it seems to be the policy to
distribute loaves and fishes enough in
the old way to prevent any effective
movement against the administration
inside the republican party. mat
may be made to work, but it will re-
quire skill and great luck. If the
President gives the politicians taste
of the spoils they will demand the old
system entire. If he placates Nor
ton and Conkling and refuses to do as
much for Blaine and Butler, they will
be all the more disgruntled. If he
weakens on civil service reform the
independents will lose confidence in
him. 1t seems to us that he has but
one course to pursue in which there is
hope, and that is to cut loose from the
politicians and appeal to the people.
If he makes his appointments on the
ground of fitness alone not only the
independents but the rank and file Of
his own party will sustain him. The
office-seekers are many, but they com
pose only small part of the body
polite. The President means we'll
but he will make great mistake ifh
tries to please everybody, especial,
by using the public patronage after h
has spoken so bravely about civil ser
vice reform. What the Springfield
Republican don't know is hardly wort
inquiring about.

A FLEMISH DEED.--As the express
train ON the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco, and Pacific railroad reached
Woodend station recently the engi-
neer saw some object on the track and
instantly applied the air-brakes, but
too late, as the engine and baggage
car left the track and plunged down
an embankment 40 feet high. Three
persons were killed. The conductor
started for another engine and on his
way heard pistol shot, and the ball
passed through his hat. Several 9TH
er shots were fred and the passengers
say they saw five men standing near,
who were revealed by the flashes from
the pistols, but no one was hit. On
examination of the track it was found
that the rails had been moved, so that
train would run down the embankment.
No doubt this was a scheme to run
the train off, and rob and plumber the
express and passengers,

Poor INNOCENT CREATURES. - The
Saloon-keepers met recently in New
York ely in secret session to form
a Saloon-keepers' Association and. Pro-
tective Union. The attendance was
large and the enthusiasm was spirited
as we'll as spirituous. The men in
this new movement are chiefly pro-
prietors of small restaurants, corner
groceries, and tipping shops. Said
one these men recently: "The reason
we have organized is that we are tired
Of carrying on our business in suspense.
We have no licenses and can't get them
unless we put up the three beds requir-
ed by law. We are willing to pay our
licenses, and are now working to get
the privilege to do SO. The city is
losing thousands Of dollars by giving
us no chance to pay for carrying on
our business"
Why will the public be so cruel as
not to let these men freely manufac
ture bruiser for the fighting ring, pros
titutes for the brothels and furnish
horribly sensational murders for tn,
papers, business for the police courts
and boarders for the states prison?

EASTERN WAR.

The result Of the Eastern war so far
as the success of the contendlng
forces is concerned, seems not very
difficult problem to solve. The sick
man is too sick to fight and too destl-
flute of friends to find support in his
need. Some, doubtless, have wonder
cstd at the slowness with which the Rus
SLAMS have proceeded, and contrasted
it with the rapid campaigns with which
Germany brought France to terms in
their last struggle. The wisdom of
both policies, however, is apparent
when we notice the difference be-
tween Turkey and France. France,
though she was at the opening of her
contest with Germany in democrat
lied condition, yet, is a nation Of
such wonderful resources and energy,
that few weeks, of delay on the part
France foe, which, even the well
planned campaign of her enemy would
have been unable to overcome. On the
other hand, it would seem, that Rus
STA need only to slowly gather her
strong arms around Turkey and the
internal weakness, disorganization and
corruption, of this long diseased nation,
will produce its own dissolution. Like
yeritable sick man in the last stages
of disease, the attempt to arouse ener-
gy, will only increase weakness and
hasten death. There is wisdom then,
30 it seems to us, for Russia to adopt
different policy from the one upon
which Germany acted in her wrestle
with France.

MURDER AT EAGLE BRIDGE, N. =.


On Monday morning, Of last week,
LAFAYETTE Witherel, Of Eagle Bridge,
visited a neighbours farm for the pur-
pose Of purchasing a calf. The neigh
Dor demanded seven dollars for the
animal. which Witherell deemed exor-
bitant. and leaving the farmer at the
barn went 10 the house to treat with
the farmers wife. To her he repre-
scented that the farmer had promised
him the calf for 81 so, for which price
she allowed him TO take the animal.
After concluding this bargain, With
erell proceeded TO the village, where
he disposed of his purchase very adj
yantageously to himself, and with the
proceeds of the sale became intoXica-
ted. While in this condition he was
visited at his house by the neighboT
from whom the calf was purchased,
upbraided by him for the deception
practieed on his wife, and threatened
arrest for false pretenses. This arous-
ed all the latent fury which had been
instilled into him by the whiskey, and
Selling a knife, Witherel endeavored
to assault the farmer; but owing to
the interference of Mrs. Witherell, he
was prevented, and the neighbor re-
tired.
Witherell still continued violent
however. and after a while his wife
found it necessary TO call to her assist
ance I. 4. Holton, and by their united
efforts they succeeded in throwing
Witherell on bed and tying him will
ropes. Soon the drunken mans raw
ings ceased, and he begged piteously
TO be released from his uncomfortable
position. His pleadings so touched
the heart of his wife that she at once
compiled with the request. No soon
err was he unbound, however, than his
subdued manner entirely left him, anC
he once more assumed a threatening
attitude. Selling large carving
knife from the table he made furious
onslaught on the occupants Of thu
room, all Of whom escaped unhurt eX
cent Mr.. Holton, who was obliged t
undergo a severe struggle before h
could make his way out Of the house
Thus Witherell was left alone in hi
apartment, and fearing that in hi
wild state he would do himself an in
Jury. Mrs. Witherell asked Henri,
Eddie to enter the room, and, posi-
Bile, secure her husband without harm
ing him.
To this Mr.. Eddie consented, ant
at once proceeded to execute his mis-
sion. Witherell anticipated the desig
on his liberty and stationed himsel
behind the door, with the knife in hi
hand. As Eddie entered he sprang up

Thoroughbred VS.. Com
mon Sheep.

A farmer in this county, who
is supposed to own as good
common sheep as anybody in
this locality, sheared his flock
on the Esd, and after weighing
the fleeces, found that each
sheep averaged two and a half
pounds. Take the whole num-
Der OF sheep in this State, and
they probably will not average
more than the above. Say that
wool is worth twenty cents per
pound, the profits from each
sheep will be fifty cents. Take
now an estimate of fieeces of
thoroughbred Merino and Cots
void, whioh will not average
less than eight pounds per head
the net profits on each sheep,
SLIGO, or $1.10 in favor of the
thoroughbred over the common
stock. 1t is not, however, al
together fair TO estimate the
feeces of the two breeds at the
same price, as it is well known
fact that the wool Of the thor
oughbred will command a high
er marketable value. Now it
costs. the same to raise the thor
oughbred as the common Sheep
the mutton Of one is as good
as the other; the profits Of the
thoroughbred is three times
greater than from the common.
Every farmer owning a flock
of sheep should make it con-
venient to purchase a thorough
bred ram to improve the quality
and yield of his wool; such an
investment will pays. LaUe

A Few Items for Mothers
to read.

Good brandy is cure for sum-
mer complaint; in bad cases a tea
spoonful in milk three or four
times a day.
A flannel cloth wet in hot bran
dy, or better, camphor and bran.
dy mixed and heated, will relieve
pain of the bowels, if frequently
laid over the stomach and bowels.
Bits of acraped ice are better on
the tongue than drinks Of cold wa.
ter.
For stings and poisons, a strong
solution of saleratus and water i'm
mediately and then frequently
applied gives relief and sure cure.
For burns, an Immediate ap.
plication of flour, covering the
burns and wrapped so as to ex-
clude the air. then burn lard till
it is quite brown and apply, and
relief and cure will soon come.
Do not wash off the flour if it
clings, hut put the lard over it.
At night, in extreme warm
weather, lemon squeezed in tep-
id water, to sponge off the tired.out
body, will give rest to both the
mother and child. Saleratus is
good, but the lemon is best. Ev-
en- washing off the little feet, neck
and palms of the hands in tepid,
never very cold, water will produce
a healthful sleep.

killing weeds.

Nature has certain laws; they
are immutable In regard to per.
ennial plants, or plants with per.
ennial roots, the law is, that be-
ginning with the spring growth
the plants duties are to perfect
the previous summer and iall.
This may be said to be the end of
that plants life, and if it was only
an annual it would be SO. But a
perennial has, after arriving at a
certain age and condition, to make
preparation for, a continued life
next year Fl is is done ~ form
ing eyes or buds upon its roots,
or around the collar Of the stem,
which shall, although perfect, re-
MAIN dormant till next spring.
There is a certain lapse of time
between tie maturity of the old
plant and the perfection OF these
eyes or buds.
This time is Of quite short du-
ration, not more than one or two
weeks, and is the critical time in
that plants life. Any attack up
on the Vitality of the part above
ground is sure to kill that below,
and of course the whole plant.
This gives us a clue to weed
killing; attacking a plant in its
most vigorous season is but Of
temporary advantage, but if We
take it at its weakest moment it
succumbs readily.
This critical time does not
come to all varieties of plants at
the same time of the year, but
may range from the middle of
July to the first OF September, as
the particular kind natures early
or late. Learn by observation
when each kind of plant arrives
at its moment of weakness, and
cut it down to the ground; the loss
of foliage above totally prevents
it from forming buds below ground.
Il is a very simple matter when
once understood.-S. Rufus Ma
