The Democratic party has been defeated
but it need not be discouraged. If its princi
Piles were worth fighting for at all, they
should be as dear and sacred in defeat as in
thehour of victory. Ifthe Democratic party
only commended for power and place, it mat
tiers little whether they are defeated or not.
But their struggle was for principle. 1t was
for human rights and liberties, won after long
years of contest against tyranny and opprcs-
sion, and which are endangered by Republi-
can success, since that party represents, in its
aims and tt 'encies, the centralizing and
despotic principles of the "strong" govern
ments of the old world.
While the result is to be deplorcd, we ear
nestly hope Gen. Garfield will rise superior to
the dictates of his party, and be the President
of the United States and not of the Republi-
can party alone.

on one-eighth of an acre. On four square rods
of his patch he raised, according to certificate
from the judges, SOL lbs, or at the rate of 30
barrels and 40 lbs. to the acre. His mode of
cultivation was as follows: A liberal coating
of barn yard manure sprinkled with plas-
ter was first spread over the ground, about the
first of May. The ground was then plowed and
and SUBSIDIZED. The com asplantcd May 22d, the
rows being three feet apart and the corn one foot
apart in the rows. A compost of Peruvian
guano, bone and plaster, mixed, 200 lbs. in guam
tity, was applied on the Goth of August. The
corn was well worked all the time, and irrigat-
cd once week. This was done by blowing q
furrow from branch to the patch, The entire
yield was ,5331l lbs

lowing the example of Mr.. Bond, offered pre-
miums, amounting to 500, to the farmer boys

UNHAPPY IRELAND.-A crisis in the trou-
bles in ireland seems to be approaching
The greatest bitterness is felt against Mr.. Boy
colt, Lord Erne's agent, for whom the
local peasantry refuse to work. His situation
must be very unpleasant one indeed. Farm
laborers, workmen, herdsmen, stablemen, all
went long ago, leaving the corn standing, the
horses in the stable, the sheep in the field
the turnips, carrots and potatoes in the
ground. Such, it is said, has been the state
of affairs for many days, until finally Mr. Boy.
colt sought the protection ofthe government

hood of Ballinrobe, where Lord Erne's estates
are situated to protect the laborers, and it is
feared that collision may take place at any
moment, in which many lives might be lost
1t is impossible for outsiders to estimate the
depth of the feeling against landlords in Ire
land, or to trace accurately the causes that
have led to it, Under the fcudal system Of
England and other parts of Europe the lands
belonged to the nobles and were held by
tenants on condition of their performing
certain services for their feudal lords. In
Ireland, on the contrary, il is claimed by the
peasantry that the lands belonged to theil
ancestors and that the lords and chieftains
were chosen by the people. Their power
and rule were recognized and obcyed, but
the obedience given them was as frcc-wil1
offering and not as right. 1t is this feeling
which is said to actuate the Irish pcasantry
to-day. Families have lived for generations
upon the same piece of land, and when turn.
ed out, as many have been, they regard it as
II deprval of their rights.
