THAT REPUBLICAN con.
vENTION OF MONDAY
LAST.

Verify, the mountain had labored
for awhile, and on that day brought
forth a mouse. 1t was indeed q pitt
able thing, both in numbers and in
calibre. The dccouchees were some
what numerous, ready and willing,
and it is said performed the Certan
operation without smile. The con-
test was animated and close as to
the mode Of delivery, but at last the
Cgsdrian had it-so the child, in
magnitude and shape of mouse
liveth, but the poor old mother lies
dissected and bleeding, and the fun
eral ceremonies are to take place on
or before the second Saturday in
August next, at sun down. Good
bye! Mother Radical, of Mononga-
liza county, you have been faithful
and multiplied your monstrosities,
and now a suitable epitdph should be
inscribed upon your tomb, as follows:
"Here lies poor old Mother Rad"
'sWhie she lived, she lived in clover;
When she died, she died all over
SIC transit gloria mundi. But
the operation was not only a bold
one, for it was heroic. The tricksters
who were afraid of the people, went
undeT, and those who believed them
selves shrewd enough to trick the
people, went up, and now ride the
poor little mouse with both whip and
spur.
And now those trick sters, who
were timid enough to fear the people
are known as the "sore heads" while
the Independent aspirants, who have
confidence in their owa merits, are
more than pleased, they are .iubilant.
This latter manly class have our
sympathies and best wishes. They
have followed their party for time
and to an extent that forbids their
going farther without sacrificing both
manhood and conscience-there is
hope and promise of them. But for
the other two classes, to-wit; the
"sore heads" and "mouse riders" we
have but little concern or sympathy,
and feel much like the wife on seeing
the fight between her husband and
the bear, we don't care a darn which
whips. And we say, fight away gen
tlemen, you can't live long now; and
make it hot while you do live, and so
aecustom yourself to hot climate,
and it will not go so hard with you
hereafter. But we will wager a sheep
skin that the Court House click and
its "pack" ride the buttered side of
the stick il the end, if there is any
butter on the stick at the coming
ont.

We are having Spring weather.
Mud and speden.ic colds still pre-
vail.
The protracted meeting which be-
gan here on the 18th of February
closed last Monday night. Owing
to the peculiar views of the pastor
in charge, Mr.. Cannon, who labored
hard during the meeting to convince
the members of the class that they
were as yet only in a penitential
state, and that they should come for
ward and seek for the second or high
err blessing, sanctifcation, much con-
fusion seemed to prevail among the
members, while the dead sinners look
ed on with no little degree of amuse.
ment The meeting closed as it be-
gan. AS we have no desire to play
the part of critic. we leave the sub
ject of sanctification as maintained
by Rev. Cannon and his followers, to
the Bible reader to draw his or her
own conclusions. We have fallen on
strange times
Another one of our. old citizens is
gone. James Arnett, ST., died at
his residence IN Arhettsville about
one o'clock Thursday morning, Goth

"a years. The disease was pleuro

Mr. Arnett was well and favorably
known. He was consistent mem
Der of the Arnettsville class, and of
which he was leader for many years.
He leaves numerous progeny and
large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances to mourn his departure.
His remains were inferred in the
family graveyard, near the Oak
Grove, at about ii o'clock, Friday,
the 9th inst.
Mr.. S. G. Hess purchased 81 head
of sheep of Mr.. Joseph Guseman,
near Gainesville, Preston county,
some two weeks ago. This makes
the second lot that Mr.H. has bought
of Mr.. Guseman during the winter.
Mr.. II. is one of our live sheep men.
His motto is "quick sales and short
profits" any one in quest of a good
lot of sheep will do well to give him
q call.

gone West. His destination, ! be-

Grant Is par excellent their man for
the work now in hand--so that Grant
and a strong Gore, nment means a
Grant notwithstanding more,
nothing less-it means down with
the Constitution, and the wholesome
and wise guarantees and limitations,
and up with Grant and unlimited
one man power.
Ask this miserable and wicked
pretender what he favors, and If you
get any response from the silent man,
it will be: Ulysses! Ulysses! self is
his Alpha and Omega. His entire
stock in trade--if he favors others,
they are either Of the Royal Fam
lily" or those of whom lie expects
two fold recompense.
But not only is the written law of
the Constitution to be trampled upon
by these political sharks, but the un-
written law or traditions Of our ia
Tiers, inaugurated by the immortal
Washington, and practiced from that
day to the present, is to be OVERHEAD
ed by electing an unsafe and selfish
man to the Third term for President.
Ground too dangerous for Wash
ington to tread, is to be VaUowed on
by Grant.
Sons of noble sires! will you risk
this experiment?
But we are now told by these reuo-
lutionists that the three term princi-
pie only applies to three consecutive
terms-who ever said so before? Did
Washington, Jefferson or jackson
say SO? In many cases the la,os pro-
vide certain punishment for the
first offence, and still greater one
for the second offence. Would these
Grant boomers undertake to argue?
Oh. yes; but that law only applies
to two consecutive offences, therefore
when A committed an offence, then
B committed the like offence, and
then again A committed the like of
fence the second time, that he, A i,
was not amenable to the second of
fence penalty, because BIS offence had
interviewed. O, no! too terms was
the utmost limit for one man, in a
Government like ours, surrounded by
the tests for power and patronage
and if that was so in the purer days
of Washington, with a Government
of three millions of people, and poor,
what ought it to be in our degener-
ate days, with fifty millions of peo-
pie and unlimited wealth and patron
age.
Ponder over it well and long Amer
lean freemen, before you risk your
all on such a throne
1t is always dangerous to place the
reins of ctcH Government in the
hands of a military chieftain, with
out early and close training as a CT
rilian. The military chieftain is
learned to govern by his command
and execute by his sword; while the
civilian governs by lar. In the former
all power is derived from the one
man in command; in the latter, all
power is derived from the people.
In the former the people are servants
in the latter the people are sover-
eign.

Clinton District,

woodland, February, 2Sth, 1890
The "Clintonian" Literary Society,
of Woodland, accepted challenge
from the Smithsonian" of Smiths,
and met them at Smiths Church
about the middle of last November
in literary contest. Where we
fairly and squarely "cleaned them
out" all disinterested persons and
many of their own members acknowl-
edged this. But as they had ma
jority of the judges 1.-TWO thirds) they
succeeded in getting the decision. AL
though we felt the injustice Of the
decision, we quietly pocketed it, and
challenged them to meet us at Wood
land, which they accepted. But they
have managed to postpone the con-
test from time to time, and now they
have "gone square back on u.s." The
fact of the thing is, that they are
afraid to meet us, knowing that if
the did they would lose their "scalps."
After the ungentlemanly way in
which they have treated us, we are
forced to denounce them as towards,
and ungentlemanly tricksters. The
"Clintonians" will never "go back on
their word, in that manner. Nor are
we afraid to meet in literary combat,
any society that may see fit to chal-
lenge us.
Our old friend Constable SOL Frum,
has taken "new departure" and is
at present engaged in trapping
skunks. We we're at the Constable's
the other day when he was engaged
in skining one of the "varmints" and
we were forced to retreat to leeward,
the Constable has become so accus-
toned to the perfume that he does
not mind it, in fact he says he rather
likes it.
Your correspondent and Constable
Frum have been putting up string
of trough and ready" fence, near the
residence of the Constable, that adds
much to the looks Of the farm.
The Constable and Sheriff Hack
ney rode through this section last
Thursday; the presence of two such
stalwart looking officers is enough
to command the peace anywhere.
There was wood chopping at Mr..
Silas Powell's short time ago. There
was thirteen persons present, we pre-
pared wood enough to do him the
rest of the winter. AS Mr.. Powell is
in feeble health, and has no boys to
help him, the assistance was quite
timely. Now boys all Of you get to-
gether and get Uncle John" Austin
lot of wood, and you will discharge
your duty in that line.
The teacher at Smells { Miss Lii
lie Frum) talks of giving up her
school on account of failing health.
This is very poor season for
making maple sugar, and very few
| are engaging in the business in this
section.
The anticipated protracted meet
ing which was to be held at Goshen
did not commence The Rev. G.. F.
c. Conn failed to put in an appear
ance and the pastor was unable to
undertake it himself.
The wedding boom is rising here,
think that there will be several in
these parts soon.
Miss Matte Ryan and her mother
talk of going west next April.
We were slightly mistaken last
week, in regard to that wedding, Mr..
VIM. Loar was going after his bride
and Mr.. Jesse King and his girl
were going along to act as attend
ants.
The Sheriff was around last thurs
day summoning some of the boys be-
fore the Grand Jury; and those who
have been selling hard cider are
trembling in their boots.

The Importance of Tillase.

The following abstract of one of Prof.
Stockbridge's recent lectures ought to be
read by every farmer:
With farmers generally they talk of ma
nure and of fertilizers, but little of the cult
walton of the soil. The fertile matter of
the soil has been removed by crops faster
than nature could restore it in it's own way,
hence we must either abandon the land, let
ting it lie waste, while nature, through its
own slow process, brings back it's fertility,
or seek new lands, or else adopt system of
improvement. If we go West we do not es-
cape this malady. The same causes are
there at work to produce sterility which we
complain of in New England.
In the land there is plenty of fertilizing
matter, yet not always in condition for
plant-food, and the problem is, How may
we produce it faster than nature does? By
rendering the fertile elements so soluble
that water can take them to the roots of the
plants, which latter can only be fed through
the influence of water.
Fertilizing matter in the soil has market
value the same as it has in the manure pile
or in the commercial fertilizer, and that
farmer is fool who says his land is not
worth cultivating, loafng his time away in
the blacksmith shop or village store, who
sells his farm at low price and goes West
to seek soil that cannot be exhausted. The

TUESDAY, May 4.
The May carnival occurred last evening
with not the most brilliant success. The booths
in every way very pretty; no one booth in par
ticular could be mentioned, as every one show
was very poorly arranged and not till after a
very long wait was the prologue read, and
thus the march which showed the fine
costumes off at poor advantage for the lack
of curtains. For the same reason the statuary
was omitted. The tableaux were all very
pretty, but without the back ground and the
long pauses between each, they were not we'll
received. The entertainment is to be repeated
with change of programme and with the ad-
dition of the fan drill.
-Four persons were taken into the Orthodox
church and one into St. Paul's Sunday.
