How NichoI Beat Cary

The election is over but the people
still need education on the financial
question. Sam Carey was in Grant
County. Many persons heard him,
and many believed in the great hum
bug. Some also heard that little ugly
Kansas man, and were by him unde-
ceived. These two had joint discus
sion at Eau Claire last week. The
Eau Claire Free Press gives a lively
report of the meeting. 1t says, Per-
haps no man in any day or age re-
ceived more complete and thorough
drubbing, rout SO enormous IN its
proportions as that of Sam Cary in
his Joint discussion with Thomas M.
Nichol." As the report supplies one
or two important facts which ought to
be we'll known, and is spicy reading,
we give it place. 1t viii be seen that
the great bag-of- wind Cary collapsed
badly when our little Nichol-the
Kansas grasshopper pounced upon
him
Half an hour before the time APP
pointed for the joint discussion, Music
Hail was crowded to its utmost capa
city with a crowd composed Of all
parties, anxious to hear the financial
issues discussed.
a few minutes before two, the hour
appointed for the discussion to COM
mence, Mr.. Cary entered tho hall or
ganized the meeting, and, after stat
ing that Mr.. Nichol was probably on
the belated train (Which statement he
knew to be false, as he had met Mr.
Nichol at The Free Press office only
short time before), began to speak,
thus, in the very beginning, showing
an intention TO take any unfair advan-
tage that presented itself.
He had just tried his voice on the

Ruled by tho South

The Times and every other Re-
publican journal, and every Repub-
lican campaign speaker, who pre-
sumed to point out the danger OF
committing Congress and the eoun-
try to Democratic control, as it
would insure 'ssolid south" and
legislation for the especial ben
fit of the solid South, were derided
by northern democratic papers as
alarmists, optimists, and bloody
shirt fanatics. We were told that
the Democratic party entertained no
such purpose; that it was not a
sectional party, but was broad
enough and patriotic enough to
know no North, no South, no East,
no West, but the whole country.
We'll, let US see !: Speaker Randall
has Just announced his House COM
mittees. Eighteen chairmanships
are assigned to the South; fourteen
only for the entire Western and
Middle States, and not one in all the
New England States. The South
contains less than one-third of the
Union, yet it is given nine-sixteenths
of the House chairmanships, while
the other two-tbirds Of the Union is
gwen but eeveu-sixteenths. When
we reflect that the craftsmanship is
equivalent to bali of committee in
its influence upon legislation, it
would appear sure enough that the
Democratic party, speaking through
the highest officer it has in the land,
knew no North, no East, no Wes',
no nothing indeed but the South.
A wag 10 court, when interpreting
the legal status of the married WON
an, said "The husband and wife
are one, and that one is the man. !"
So Randall and his party think !:
the North and the South are ore and
that one is the South. Thus we are
furnished the proof that the "Solid
South is both a Democratic princi.
pie and fact. Tha. party is pursue
ing the identical course IL did before
the war creeping on It's belly to
the Southern lords, only asking the
blessed boon of serving men to them.
For years this slavish servitude was
endured by Northern democrats, but
there came time when the more
self respecting Democrats threw of
the degrading yoke, asserted their
political manhood, politically unsec-
tionized themselves and became
Americans in the broadcast and best
sense OF the name. Aud 1t will be
SO again fer human nature Is the
same now as then. Dubuque Times.

WASHING SUGGESTIONS.

For blankets. shawls or clouds, or
any white fannels. nothing should be
used in washing them but plenty of
soap and cold water. They then re-
tain their color, and like new for
years.
Another: The fret water should
be very strong with borax, about two
ounces to o tub of warm water; use
soap sparingly on the soiled pIacas
only. The second water should be
weak suds; rub in no soap and use
less borax; rinse well in clear warm
water; wiring very dry; shake well;
hang where they will dry quickly.
The blankets will be as soft a. new.
Another way is this: Make q suds
of cold water and hard soap; add q
little borax; let tho fannos soak in
it over night, squeeze out the dirt
next morning, rinse in clean cold wa
ter, wiring them, aud hang them up
to dry. They will be equal to new
flannel, and if not touched with q
hot iron will never shrink. II is
heat tina. shrinks and yellows flannel.
The way to wash navy-bluo stock
ings is this: SGT the color before
" soaring, By soaking them ten min
utes in pale of cold water containing
one teaspoonfal Of sugar Of lead; then
wash il water made SOFTLY borax
use no soap for the fret washing, and
very little at any tims: il hartena

Agricultural Bureau Report.

The condition of wheat, when har-
vested, which is reported in Septem-
Der, makes a better showing than be-
fore the commencement of thrashing.
The real value of the harvest is better
understood than in the early part of
August. The general average of the
country was then 90. Since then the
spring wheat has been harvested,
while the work OF garnering the win
ter wheat has nearly closed, and the
result is 100. higher figures than in
any year since the crop of 1869, the
condition of which was reported at
10o. So conservative were the views
of local statisticians, that we well re-
member the incredibly with which a
crop of 60,O0O,0 900 bushels was est.
mated from the Department data in
1859, that of the previous census be-
ing only 173, 100000 bushels, and a
yield of 1875 bushels per acre, which
was LIS bushels over an average crop.
But year or two later the crop was
reported by the census even higher,
by 100000, than this careful esti-
mate. At a yield of Is bushels for
the whole field the present crop would
not be less than 350,000,00O bushels.
The returns directly comparing the
aggregate product in each county with
that of last year will be made in Oct.
ober, and will be the final record Of
wheat for the season, except that of
yield per acre in December. We may
not have quite so large an average
yield as in 1869, but, with about 40
per cent. increase in area, we may
have even larger product than is in
dicated above.
The states failing to reach the
standard of unimpalred condition, are
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Alabama,
Louisiana, Tennessee, Illinois, (99)
Missouri, Kansas and California. Our
average for California is 58; but it
may not be the true average, as many
of the wheat growing counties failed
to report. San Joaquin gives 25 for
a portion of the great dry central val
ley; Santa Clara gives so and Contra
Costo 95, both representing more ia
yored portions of the wheat area of
the Pacific coast. We hope to obtain
complete October returns of quantity
produced,
