Why Eli Perkins Goes for Hancock.

why iii Ci MID UOtS 1luECoChs
am for the noble Hancock because
he issdown on the Southern Unionist,
because he believes in DISTINGUISHING
the freedmen of the South who fought
against the grand old confederate stars
and bars of their native States, and in
favor of our miserable Union flag.
am for Hancock because the noble
Beauregard is for him; because that
self-sacriflcing patriot Jefferson Davis
is for him; because that noble philan-
thropist, Governor Blackburn, who
poisoned miserable Yankee women
and children with yellow fever cloth
ing, is for him; because the heroic
commanders of Andersonville and
Libby prisons are for him, and be-
cause all those grand old patriots like,
Robert Tombs, the noble Hamburg
Butler and the brave men who muir
dered that contemplate Union lover,
Judge Chisholm in Mississippi are for
him. L am for Hancock because
those noble Southerners who shot
down seventy discharged black sol
diers and the six base Northern plan
ters at Coushatta are for him. l am
for Hancock because every noble old
slave master is for him, and because
every low negro soldier and every
mean white Democrat in the South
and North who fought for the cursed
flag is for Garfield.

The Meaning of 1t.

The meaning of it is the voters of
Vermont and of every State, have
oeen aroused to the fact that the old
spirit OF slavery still rules the South
Ihey see that the white men of that
section are as firm in their determine
ton to deprive the negro of all polit-
lcal power as they once were in their
determination to hold his body as
thelr property. They saw no crime
IN owning him, in selling him, in
trampiing on all his natural affections;
see none now in dcpriving him of his
vote by threats, by starvation, by
violence or by fraud and they do not
stop at the shedding of blood to ac-
complish their purposes. The voters
or the North have learned this not
alone from the Republican news
papers and thirteen volumes of Con-
gressional reports, but from the very
lips OF the Democratic leaders. We
give the voters of Vermont credit for
Knowing that the future of American
liberty would not be secure if these
men,who are hostile to free speech and
free ballot, should gain absolute con-
troll of the Government. If this Re
public is TO endure, it must be ruled
by civilization and not by barbarism,
Ii will live if there is universal intel
igenee and toleration, but it will not
live if hundreds of thousands of its
citizens are ground down into political
deaf-mutes, and kept in ignorance by
a brutal aristocracy.
The meaning of it is that the Dem
ocratic party, so long as it is domin-
ated by the South, and the South is
ruled by the spirit of to-day, will
never elect a President of the United
States-not if it fights through a hun
dred campaigns. There is the hand
writing on the wall. Let them read
it.-NeW York Tribune.

Some time ago the California cor
respondent of the New York Herald
telegraphed that paper that the Re-
publican managers in San Francisco
gave up the state to Hancock, and
are bending their energies to save the
Senatorship from the wreck" The
San Francisco Chronicle says this is
undisguised Misrepresentation, and
adds: 1.-THE Senatorship is already
safe for the Republicans and the pre-
sent prospect is that Garfield will
beat Hancock by a much larger plu-
rality than Hayes had majority over
Tilden in 1876. The party is better
organized than it was four years ago,
and far more united. The Indepep-
dents, who then were sharp thorn in
the Republicans side, have disap.
peared from every county, and will
nowhere he seen or heard of in this
aghti

THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED steel PLOW


our present styles.
A first-class Steel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rugged, retails for twenty-five
dollars Inferior Steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price OF our new Plow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and 1t will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
It's mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds Of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
1t will scour in soils where all steel plows
and all other plows have hitherto proved q
failure.
With this Plow will be introduced a CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained Patent, and which is
also great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and it can always be kept on line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or one
side Of 1t as desired, and always kept in line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Flowing, and also for two or three horses
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Plow.
1t Is perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out Of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity of the day. 1t
isthree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When zoe say Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know it is so.
We do not palm off on them composition
Of various metals and call it chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow in every
town In this State.
We can give but very small discount 20
them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow In the hands
OF Farmers as near the cost Of manufacture
as possible.
1t will be the best. Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
1t shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than slow shilling" need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sales absolute.
gB- This is the only Steel Chilled PloW In
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Plow, full rugged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow
ever made.
1t Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at five dollars and half.
Where there are no agents we viii, on re-
celptof Seventeen Dollars send q Plow to any
Railroad station in the State and pay the
freight Address.

DEATH OF REV. DR.. BUSEY.-Rev. DIR. Ezra
F. Busey. well known in this city, and a prom
inent minister of the M. E. Church South, died
at the residence of Rev. s. K. Cox, in Balti-
more, last Thursday night. of complication
of diseases. Rev. DIR. Busey was born in Berke-
ley county, Va, (now W. Va.) October 9th, 1877.
He entered the Baltimore Conference OF the NJ
E. Church in 1912, and was in the active timer
ancy of that Church and of the M. E. Church
South for thirty-six years. In the Alexandria
Conference of 1866 he entered the M. E. Church
South, and served as presiding elder ofRoanoke
and Rockingham districts until 1871, when he
was appointed to take charge of the M E.
Church South in Alexandria, to succeed Rev.
DIR. R. R. S. Hough, where he remained for two
years, at the expiration of which time he left
Alexandria for Baltimore. DIR. Busey was also
assistant pastor of the M. E. Church of Alex
andria at the time that church divided on the
slavery question, in about 1874, but he. like
many others, did not enter the ministry of the
Southern branch, formed by Bishop Andrews,
for many years after the beginning of the
troubles among the members of the old church
in the General Conference of 1912, as stated
above. Dr.. Busey was an able and eloquent
minister, and was universally esteemed for the
integrity and purity of his character. Although
not of very advanced age his term of service
was unusually long, there being only three
members of the Baltimore Conference of the
M. E. Church South-Revs. James II. March, j.
Hoffman Waugh, and Elias Welty-still sur
viving who entered into conference relations
at the same time with him.
DR.. Busey, who was at the time of his death
a widower, his wife, Miss Conger, of Balti-
more, having died many years previous, leavea
one son surviving.

THE SEASON OF ICE. WATER.-Now Is the sea-
son Of ice water and we copy the following so
that the ice-dealers will get mad at us: There
is no more doubt that drinking ice water ar
rests digestion than there is that refrigerator
would arrest perspiration. 1t drives from the
stomach its neutral heat, suspends the flow OF
grstric juice and shocks apd Weakens the deli
cate organs with which it comes in contact.
An able writer on human diseases says; Ha-
bitual ice water drinkers are usually very
flabby about the region of the stomach.
They complain that their food. lies hea-
Wy on that patient organ. They taste their
dinner for hours after it is bolted. They culti-
vate the use ofstimulants to aid digestion. If
they are intelligent they reod upon food and
what the psychologist has to say about it-how
long it. takes cabbage and pork and beef and
potatoes and other meats and esculents to go
through the process of assimilation. They roar
at new dread, hot cakes and fried meat, mag
lining those. to have hesp the cause of their
maladies. But the ice water goes dow all the
same, and finally friends are called in to take a
farewell look at one whom mysterious Proyi-
dence has called to a cline where, as far as is
known, ice water is not used The number OF
immortal beings who go hence, to return no
more, on accout of an injudicious use of ice wa
ter can hardly be estimated
