Safe Clothing.

There is probably no cloth
ing-maker anywhere in the
world that is entitled to be
relied on so completely for
the quality of everything that
enters into clothing as Oak
Hall. 1t would be in bad
taste, at least, for US to say
this, if we hadn't a particular
ly clear demonstration of the
fact.
In the first place we make
clothing enough so that we
can afford to watch what
goes into ito know what
it is made of. Is it too much
to say that we do know?
In the second place every
thing we sell is liable to come
back to us, if found wanting
in any quality it ought to
have-worse than that it is
liable to come back if the
buyer has the least doubt
about the goodness of it.
Which is hardest to be-
lieve, that we make our cloth
ing safe, or that we take such
chances on anything but the
safest of everything?

LII OUR farmers are sure Of selling
all they can raise until there is peace
and harmony among the nations Of
Europe the prospect is an exceedingly
fair one for them for generations to
come. So long as the nations keep up
great standing armies danger of war
will be imminent, and the lack of con-
fidence between the several govern
ments is as great to-day as it was be-
fore the fall of the French Empire
and the defeat and Imprisonment. Of
the Emperor, Napoleon III. There is
no telling how soon the war cloud that
has been hanging over Europe for
twenty years may burst. The diff
cultles that arise among the people
may hasten its approach. Ireland's
troubles are disturbing England quite
as much as the war in India did and
the Nihilists give Russia moro uneasi-
ness than the war with Turkey occa-
sioned the nobility. France is incur
ring the envy and jealousy of Italy,
and Germany does not dare to diminish
her armies q single regiment SO long as
France continues to educate her people
to the use of arms.
These internal troubles may give
rise to an assumed necessity for war.
Russia oould find use for all Of her dis
satisfied subjects in war. The turbu-
lent spirits might all be curbed and
perhaps rendered useful in arms, and
the government itself become popular
after it had exhausted the means OF
the people and rendered them more
poor and dependent. The monarehs
themselves might feel more comforta-
BILE in ruling a poor and dependent
people than a people who felt them
selves independent and ready to de-
mand the right of suffrage and the
liberty to govern themselves. There
will be no actual peace in Europe un-
Til great struggle at arms has given
the nations a surfeit of war.

PATRONAGE is the essence and life
Of the Republican party. Nothing
goes to prove it more thoroughly than
the fact that the Halfbreeds at Albany,
who, two months ago, had no patron
age, and were compelled by the party

sArURDAY. NAY III. 1881.

THE BREACH WIDE AND DEEP.-I
The breach which has been made in |
the Republican party is already wide
and deep. The quarrel over the
patronage had been growing more and
more angry and violent until it was no
longer possible to conceal the animus
Of the passions, and it has burst forth
from the topmost leaders. Grants
letter to Conkiing shows how wide and
deep the breach is and how impossible
be 1t may to heal the difficulties by the
reelection of oonkling or any other
temporary compromise. The cause
OF the quarrel is the patronage, and
disr ibute It as they may, they can
not satisfy the demands of the several
hundred thousand outs and ins. There
Ii large faction in favor of the re-
election of Conkling but larger
faction, and among them the Tribune
people who declare that he is politi-
cal brigand, and to re-elect him is to
give him ''privateer's commission to
ravage and destroy at pleasure" 1t
does not withhold its want of conf
dence in his integrity nor its know
ledge of his lack of veracity. Such a
charge from such party paper,
against the most brilliant of its party
leaders is terribly damaging. We
call the attention of the Republican
press to the language of the Tribune.
1t is only short time since the Re-
publican press of Delaware took great
pains to laud and defend the yeracity
of Mr.. Conkling. As the editors did not
know the character the Senator bore
in New York, in this regard, they
might be excused for their faith in his
utterances. But what says the 1ri-
b@aee To re-elect him to the Senate
is to tissue letters of marque to this
political privateer, to make whatever
mischief he >can for the next four
years." Mark what follows: "Though
he were to make very different profess
lions, there would be no doubt as to
his intention. Unhappily his vIndic-
tive spirit is too well known in New
xork." What is allthis but declaring
that Mr.. Oonklipg's word is not TO bt
taken on any political question How
then can it be expected that he viii
be credited, if the Tribune, who
knows him ''too well, proclaims hin
unworthy Of belief, as it does in the
language we have quoted ?
This is the feeling toward Conkling,
and that which his friends bear
toward his opponents does not seem
to be any less violent. Their greal
chief has been termed ga politica
priyateer, and although their numbers
are thinned, they are rampant for re-
venge. Some of them 60 SO far nov
rs to declare he would not accept |
re-election to the Senate. They doubt

MIR. Tilden and the Star-R0ute
Frauds,

MIR. Tthden and the btar.BOute
Frauds,
Special despatch to the World.
WASHINGTON, May ia report
was put out here by the Star-Route
Ring early in the investigation charg-
ing responsibility for the exposures
upon Mr.. Tilden. 1t occasioned only
amusement at the time. Tonight in
formation comes from authority un-
questionably high that, although not
responsible for the present investiga-
tion, Mr.. Tilden is in possession of
more evidence against the Star-Route
Ring than the Post. Office Department
has or seems able to obtain. The
authority for this statement says that
ii was collected by Mr.. Tilden in 1876,
and that he had intended, had he been
inaugurated instead of Mr.. Hayes, to
signalize the beginning of his Admin
istration by an investigation similar to
| the one now in progress, meaning to
win by it on a national scale the repu-
tation he made for himself as re-
former in connection with the exposure
of the New York Canal Rings. He
| added TO this evidence during Mr..
Hayes term, keeping it to himself
until year ago last winter, when he
put out part of it through a we'll
known agent. The purpose Of this
was to arouse the country to the possi-
bilities of a vigorous investigation,
and he depended upon his friends to
convince the party leaders at Cincin-
natl that in case of his nomination he
was prepared GO make such further
disclosures as would insure Democratic
victory. 1t is said that he would then
have used all his evidence during the
campaign and have met the Republic
cans with facts and figures that woulC
have been simply irresistible. 1t il
due to Mr.. Tilden that the ofticiali
who have the investigation in charg'
should call on him to place all h,
knows, if he knows anything, at thei
disposal. Some of them believe h'
could supply the links which the!
want to complete the chain of crimi.
mating evidence against the ring.

Throughout the siege of Standerton
we had given girls name for the coun-
tersign. The men liked it. Every
night some of them felt that the garri-
son was watched over by her he loved
best, and it came to be the evenings
topic with them who she was to be when
the orders were read out. It put us
about little to find Dames, but we did
it, only standing out against Jemima.
and published fresh name every night.
The first name we hit on was Alice.
Many Of us had an Alice we loved at
home, so we put her in the front rank.
Later on, when the fort was clean
enough, we christened it after her, and
Fort Alice is now the official title of the
fort which held Standerton. Many
were the discussions the men had over
these names. Violet was one, and I
remember herring an obstinate fellow
silenced, on Directing that il was a
flower, not "gal," by comrade, who
explained that " Violet is the flower, we
all know that, but girls called Vio-
lette with "he." Another time when
the password was Mag, the following
conversation took place outside the fort
between sentry and late-comer-
Friend. Sentry-Stand, friend! Ad-
vance one, and give the countersign.
Late comer-I don't know it. Sentry
why it's Mag! Late-comer-Oh,

Do not allow hens to be confined in
yards with ducks, for in that case they
will interfere with each other. If a
good game cock is in the yard he will
knock duck down whenever it gets
within striking distance, while ducks
will teach the art of feather pulling to
perfection. Ducks will pluck the feath-
ers from fowls, when confined, until
they are completely naked. Besides, in
the matter Of feeding some difficulty
will be experienced. The duck has a
broad bill, and when bulky, soft food is
thrown in the yard they manage to get
tho greater part of it at two or three
swallows, while on the other hand, if
small grain, such as wheat, is thrown to
them, the hens manage to more than
hold their own, aud the ducks 20. hum
CRY. The two will not thrive in the
same yard, if confined, and if they are
kept in confinement, which is not a
difficult matter, let them be in sepa-
rate yard. Puddle ducks are not worth
the room they occupy, but yard of
Rouens, Pekins or Aylesburys is worth
having, and will not only give pleasure
in their management, but be source Of
profit also. The feathers from them are
equal to those of geese if carefully
pluckcd and saved. FARMERS Mogo-
