TuEspAY's election was a sad ex-
perience for Republicans in this
county and congressional district,
yet we trust that such result will
prove beneficial and cement all fac.
tions of the party into one grand ir-
resistable body as of yore. For
Congress, Jones the Democratic
nominee, is leaving his opponent in
the dim distance, SO far as heard
from up TO the hour of going to
press, and his majority promises to
be exceedingly large.
In lows county the struggle for
county offices has been great, the
Democrats being confident that with
a Prohibition ticket in the field their
chances were better than for many
a year, and they rallied forth every
man to vote that they could depend
on, and the indications are that they
have captured the persimmons.
Returns from all the towns in the
county are in, with the exception OF
Pulaski, which will only increas,
the liberal majorities already giver
the entire Democratic ticket, al
shown by the following figures:

WE told you last week that the
manufacture OF paint in this city
was being "talked up" We have
this week been given 20 understand
that before Spring paint factory
will be in operation. This is good
news, and the new enterprise will
receive every encouragement. Our
capitalists should now "cbip in" and
operate a pork packing establish
ment. To be sure, the season is too
far advanced to do anything towards
it this year; but at this time COM
pany can be formed and the build
ings and necessary apparatus built
at the opening of Spring. The cap
itai is here; water in abundance can
be easily reached; our railway and
shipping facilities are all that can be
desired; the hogs are raised here,
and labor can be had for less than
it costs in Chicago and Milwaukee.
Then all that seems necessary to
commence this enterprise is for the
capitalists to get together and organ
ize. But capital seems TO be very
modest in this community. Have
you noticed, though that the Ger
man, American and English capital
invested in the Mineral Point Z;uc
Co.'S works is doing nicely, all mix
ed together, in that company's in
vestments! Then, again, this city
has in it men who could, if so dis
posed, conduct monster pork pack
ing establishments single handed, for
they've money enough! Why should
the raw material be taken from this
city to Chicago to be manufactured!
If Ryan, of Dubuque, can buy live
pork II that city with profit, where
rent, taxes, insurance, carriage aud
lat or cost mere than they do in this
city, then such an undertaking would
certainly be profitable here; profit
able to the parties operating the
business, to our merchants and the
city in general. Gentlemen disposed
to advance their own interests, and
this city's prosperity, will receive
encouragement at the hands of the
railway company doing business here

A LIVELY runaway took place IN

Diamond Grove, which had just de
livered a load of wood at the rear
of Hendra Bros store, ran east on

The horses steered clear of every
thing until they reached Jackas

with his meat wagon, breaking the
hind axle, and crowded the mare,

SALT APPLIED TO GRAIN CROPS
The members Of the Centre! New York
Farmers Club, it would appear from
a discussion held at Que Of their meet
inss, are about equally divided in
opinion as to whether salt is valuable
or not as a manure for grain crops.
The subject Of salt on grain was in
PRODUCED at recent meeting Of the
Western New York Farmers Club by
a visitor from Syracuse, who stated
that in his vicinity there were farmers
who believed that sowing salt on grain
retarded its ripeuing, The Presiden!
Of the club said in reply that salt
made 80 little difference in the ripen-
ing OF the grain as to be OF no i'm
portence in that view. He mixed salt
with plaster and gained extra yields
Of barley from tho application. This
mixture attracts moisture and pro-
duces it's best effects in dry season.
o. C. Ross, PenGeld. claimed an in
crease Of one fourth for barley that
had been sown with salt. Farmers in
bis vicinity thought the application oil
salt to the potato crop caused the tu'
bsrs to ripen earlier, but did not max
any difference in the yield. A. NJ
Williams, Of Syracuse, said in his sec
ton salt WAS thought to retard the
ripening ofgrain, giving it a long
or season in which to grow, thereby
increasing the crop.
