There is nothing dishonorablc in
being q machine politician" The
Iiaium- Dopularly attached to aAe
words comes from men who arc re-
sorting to even dishonorablc tricks to
get the ins out and themselves in.
When half million votes are to be
brought to the polls, there must, in the
nature Of things, be organization and
work. The men who take part in this
organization and work, are those stig-
matized as the machine men. And
yet they arc doing nothing in the
world but what the newspapers and
the reform orators are always and
forever calling upon the "good citi-
.zens" to do. They arc doing nothing
in the world but what those who de-
nounce them arc doing-on tho other
side. They are doing what the gem
tlemcn who held last year the Fifth
Avenue Conference undertook to do.
Thcy are doing what Mr.. Sam. Bowlcs
and the Adams men of Massachusetts,
undertook annually to do. They arc
doing what Mr.. Curtis did when he
secured last year the defeat Of Mr..
Cornell In the New York Republican
Convention. They arc doing what
the Bristow men did in the last Ma
tional Republican Convention. Do
we dispute the right Of Mr.. Bristow's
friends, of Mr.. Curtis, of Mr.. Bow,cs,
ofthe Fifth Avenue gentlemen, to
engage in organized and systematic
work? Not atall. We hold thcy did
perfectly right, that they did their
duty according to their convictions.
But all the same they were "macline
men," 1t is high time these ceased to
be words of oflcnsc.- Cincinnati

Hon. +. S. McCulloch, of Lee coun-
ty, Iowa, died at his residence near
Primrose, in that county, on the 9Th
inst, in his sixty-fifth year.
A correspondent Of the Gate City
says Of him
ellis political career was most re-
markable, but space will only be TAX
en- for the most noteworthy event.
Passing by all town and county af-
fairs, which were matters of almost
constant recurrence. his experience as
a legislator will only be briefly not
ed: Elected in 1S4l, a Representative
to the Territorial Legislature of Iowa
from Lee county, he served in that
body for three consecutive terms.
Reelected is 1912. Again reelected
in 1850 and took an active part in the
revision of the laws at that time. In
1854 he was elected to the State Sem
ate, serving four years. In 1860 we
find him again in the Legislature, and
again taking responsible position in
the general revision of laws. In 1870
again Senator and again assisting
to revise the code Of the State. It Is
sufficient evidence of the apprecia-
tion of his labors by the people that
up to the last he was considered the
strongest candidate of the times, and
for the occasion in the party Of his
political faith in the county, and this
supposition was proven correct be.

Black Polled Cattle.

Geo. Grant, the intelligent and ex.
tcnsive cattle breeder at Victoria,
Kansas, gives some interesting and
valuable information as to the size
and profits of different breeds of
cattle. He keeps several largo herds
in one of which there are six hundred
cows. He keeps four Black Polled
Angus bulls and six Short-horn bu lis.
lie finds with the rather rough treat.
mcnt ofno winter shelter except the
groves, that of the steers he has al
ready shipped to market the Polled
steers averaged about one hundred
pounds heavier than the Short-horns.
He also finds that by crossing the
Polled cattle with the native cows of
that region the calves are evidently
ninety per cent of the Polled SO pre-
potent in this case are the males over
the females, while in the Short-horns,
the scrub stock rather prcdominates.
Mr.. &, thinks the Polled cattle are
harder and thrive better on rongh
fare than any other breed.
And as regards the quality Of the
beef, Mr.. Grant informs us that the
Angus breed stands higher in Smith
field market, London, and in the lead
ing market in Scotland than the
Short-horn or any other breed Of
cattle, and that the beef sells higher.
They are equally as good mixers as
the Short-horns, and as breeding
animals arc easier fed. These are
important facts, and come from the
very best authority, as Mr.. Grant has
had experience, and investigates
clOsely.-State Reaister.

War between Russia aud TuI


War between Russia and Turkey
seems to be inevitable, and If it once
commences it will be q long bloody
semi-rcligious war between the Cross
and the Crescent, which will proba-
bly, involve Austria and ncighboring
governments, and may extend to .
general European conflict.
1t will make great demand for
our surplus military munitions, and
for pork, flour, and beef, and perhaps
other American products.
It is deplorablc to contemplate the
human suffering which must cnsue,
and at tho same time somewhat Diff
cult to comprehend the cause Of
tho difficulty, but nevertheless we
may be justified in the consoling fact
that we are isolated from their for
eign complication, and that what is
their loss will be our gain.
LATER.-Sincc this was written our
dispatches inform us that actual hos
tilitics have begun.

Smalley's letter to tho New York Tribune, Rep
CHARLESTON, s. c., April 2.-It is
impossible not to feel some sympathy
for Gov. Chamberlain. There is no
denying that for two years he kept
the wolves and vultures OF the pros-
trate State. For the men whose in
terests he had defended, and whose
property he had saved from further
spoliation, to turn upon him with
ferocious hate, as they did last fall,
was certainly cruelty unjust. Gov.
Chamberlain is the most clever and
cultivated of all tho carpet-baggers of
the South. As q lawyer, he cOmpell-
cd the respect Of the Charleston Bar.
As an orator, he has no superior here,
where oratory is cultivated as tho es-
sential accomplishment for public
life. Few men wicld q moro vigorous
pen, as the readers of tho Tribune,
who remember his dispatches and
letters to this paper during tho late
campaign, can testify. In general
culture | doubt II no has his equal in
South Carolina.
