Of the local clubs.

Under Article 9th, that the sys-
tenn of primary elections by ballet
be adopted as the mode of nominal
ting can didatcs for county officers
and mombcrs of tho Gen eral Assem-
bly,. While the principle of primary
elections should be ut onco an
nounced, it is the decided Judgment
of the State Executive Committee
that tho nominations by primary
elections should not take place
until n later period in the campaign,
and in regard to which further re-
commendations will be made here
after as to the details for conduct
ing the said elections.
When the county conventions
have elected officers, tho new county
c!a rman will at once report to the
secretary Of the State Executive
Committee, giving tile numes and
post Office address Of the officers
chosen, together with the names
and post offices Of the presidents of
the local clubs, and the number and
membership of the several clubs.
The suggestions and recommen-
dations Of the Executive Committee
are founded upon the experience Of
it's members in the last campaign,
and while not conflicting with the
constitution prepared by the August
convention, will assist to work out
the plan of organization more per-
fcctly and harmoniously. The main
purpose of the constitution WAS to
secure uniformity throughout the
State, and the nearer each county
adheres to the plan and rccommen-
dations under it, the more certainly
will harmony and concord prevail in
the organization.

child, escaping from her mother, ran
directly in front Of the rushing
horses The Empress screamed
and everybody expected to witness
the instant death Of the child. when
a trooper in tho front rank bent for
ward from his saddle, seized the
child, without slnckcning speed, and
placed her at his saddle bow. The
crowd cheered the gallant deed lus-
tily, and the Emperor, taking from
his neck the Gross Of tho Order Of

THE BOND COMMISSION have pre-
sented voluminous report. They
find that only about 100000 worth
of detached and fraudulent coupons
were consolidated. Tho consolida-
ton Of the rest was according to
law but the commission claim that
n large amount Of tho original bonds
were tainted with fraud, although
regularly issued. These bonds
ought to be repudiated, but it is
hardly probably that they be, on
account of the terms of the consoli-
dation act which mado them con-
tract If this be true tho Legisla-
tTe should accept the situation Mt
once, as the whole consolidation
scheme is nasty business, and the
seouer it is buried away the better.
p. x. 2. B. WRITES u worry earnest
appeal in behalf Of Judge N1ackcy.
He soems to misconceive our posi-
ton. We are not actuatod by any
hostility to Judge Mackey on tho
contrary, for on unexpired term we
would back tho judge against all
comeIs, and our advocacy Of the
Viva voce mode Of voting was strenu'
ously made with tho full knowledge
that it would retain Judge NIackey
in his scat. But for q now term
Judge Macley's friends must ad~
vance his individual merits as claim,
and not his political services.
That Judge Nlacl1ey possesses
ability of high ordor none can deny,
and tho Legislature can elect him on
the score Of fitness if it SO, s proper.
But granting judgeship on the
ground of political services is q
crime. We will not now discuss
Judge Mackcys past record, judicial
or political, and will grant that, in
future, he will comport himself wcll
as judge. Let his friends then
advocate him on high grounds.
As to whether wo have gauged
public opinion, that is M open
question. It matters not, however,
to us, in expressing our conviction,
whether we do or not reflect popn"
lar sentiment, though wo are always
gratified to gain tho appreciation of
our readers. Our modest belief is
that we don't miss as often as others
may suppose.
In conclusion, it is needless to re-
mark that we are not responsible for
the opinions Of correspondents. The
vast difference in tenor between the
communication of "Vox" and "P. X.
+. B." will naturally suggest this.

Such young men should be ashamed o.
their ignorance and folly, but never Of

Another cause of the emigration of ouI
boys from the farm, is the inexcusablt
neglect of fathers to make farm life attrac
tive to their children. The boys of oul
day are restless, if not aspiring; and con
slant work, without reward or hope OF i'm
mediate gain, is discouraging. There IL
not sufficient novelty or excitement in the
ordinary routine of farm labor to satisfy
them. They crave the change which city

For the Freeman.
A Chat with Farmers.
BY AGRICOLA.

propose in this paper to speak about
farmers sons. hear it said that agricul-
ture is sustaining constant loss of ability
by the emigration of farmers sons to the
cities. These emigrants do not include
those young men who leave the farm tenn
porarily, to acquire an education, or per-
manently to fit themselves for professional
life. These, if their tastes and peculiari-
ties adapt them to this sphere of action.
should be encouraged in their course. But
many who are born farmers, and who
should devote themselves to agricultural
pursuits. also leave the farm and seek en-
ployment in the crowded city. This fact
is to be amented, not only on account of
loss to the farm, but on account of the
danger to which young men expose them
selves. The corruptions of city life are
fearful and perilous in the extreme to the
artless and inexperienced who have been
reared in the homes of our rural districts.
But here we meet a practical question
Why do so mauy farmers sons leave the
farmp Many reasons might be given.
Among these will mention, the false i'm.
preston which these young men cherish,
that manual labor is dishonorable. They
dream that there is more respectable
and easier way Of living. They do not
seek to elevate themselves by intellectual

From now till the COWS get good bite
of grass they should have the best of care
and feed. We have not believed they
should be kept in yard and stable till they
can get Il good living in the pasture. They
are uneasy, want to get out on the ground,
and we think it well to let them; and
then, by a good feed of hay with meal
night and morning, they are kept in good
condition, and make the change from dry
feed to green more gradually than wher
kept in the stable till the pasture is in flusf
feed.
One of our prominent sheep raisers has
said that sheep should be let out as soor
as there is n bare spot for them to stanC
on, but he would not leave off feeding
them from the barn at that time, we think

Coop Tools" Good tools are half the
battle in farming" some one has said, and
| am inclinad to think there is more truth
than poetry in it; know it is great deal
easier to work with good tools than with
poor ones. have tried both and am de-
cidedlv in favor of the former. Good tools
are far cheaper in the end than poor ones.
1t is true poor ones usually cost less to be-
Gin with, but the purchaser cannot do so
much work with them us with good ones,
and then again, there are many more re-
pairs to be made on them, so in the end
they are the most expensive. For instance,
Il farmer wants n wagon; his nelghbor mas
two which he must sell, therefore he offers
them cheap. One is nearly as good as new,
while the other has been run many years
and is weak in many parts. He doesn't
know which to buy, but finally concludes
TO take the old one, us it is a few dollars
cheaper and he thinks it will do for his
business as well as the other. So he takes
it home and goes to work. 1t does very
well for few days, but finally he gets on
too heavy load, drives over little stone,
and whoa! his wagon has broken down
Now he is in sad fix; his team must lie
still day or two, his work must be neg,
lected (perhaps it is planting time, or he
has u lot of hay ouD and he must go of
right in the rush of work and get his wag'
on repaired, costing him more than
to have got the best one which his neigh
Dor offered him. Now, wouldn't he have
been better off if he had got good Wagon
in the first place? So it is in regard tt
plows, moving machines, horse-rakes, anc
indeed all other tools which farmer uses
1t is my opinion, and that of many Other
farmers that 1.-THE best is the cheapest.
Therefore, when you want any tools, frs
find where you can get the best ant
then buy them.-F. II. d., IN Rural Neu
