GEN. FAIRCHILD FOR PRESIDENT

The talk of proposing the name Of Gen.
Lucius Fairchild, of Wisconsin, to the
next Republican convention as candi-
date for president is not as idle as it may
seem at first blush. There are many
others whose chances for the nomination
are seriously discussed by the newspapers
and politicians who possess fewer ele-
ments of popularity and are far less avail
able than Gen. Fairchild. His claims to
the place were very fully set forth in the
interview with Congressman Guenther
in Mondays Globe, and need not be re-
capitulated, but there are other reasons
that make his name formidable one.
In the first place, the Northwestern has
never been favored by either party with
place ON the national ticket. This has
not been for lack OF the requisitive mater
ial for the statesmen of this section Will
compare favoribly with those of any other
section of the country. The people of
the Northwest are beginning to feel
themselves sighted. especially as they
contribute large share of the electoral
votes of the country. Wisconsin, too,
has become to be doubtful State, and
its loss to the Republican party would
cause the loss of the election Gen.
FairchiId has always been popular in
that State, having been chosen governor
three times against the strongest men the
Democrats coIlu name, and in the face
OF the most violent personal vilifcation.
No official ever served the people more
faithfully or honestly than he and as far
rs his public career is concerned it IL
without spot or bIemish. The fact that
Gen. Fairchild is free from all entany-
ling alliances in his own party is a strong
point in his favor. He was living abroad
during the fierce sectional warfare that
has rent the party aSunder, and cannot
be opposed by either stalwarts or half
breeds on account of connection with
the rival cabaI. In point of ability he is
equal to the average of our presidents;
his social habits admirably fit him for an
entertainer; his knowledge of foreign
diplomatic customs and persons will in
sure the good will of the diplomatic corps;
his war record, an exceptionally good
one, will make him popular with the
soldier element, while his general suavity
of manner, lack of arrogance and through
gentlcmanly bearing will make him a
prime favorite with all classes if he should
ever be so fortunate as to become the &C
cupant of the White House.-St. Paul

"There is a conspiracy of fellows" it
SAYS, trying to get into office under the
false pretense that they are the Demo
cratic party, and their only credential is
the allegation that they knew Thomas

JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRACY.

As long as the record of the modern
Democratic is so bad that it cannot be
appealed to with any degree of pride, ii
is no wonder that its orators are found
apprapriating the fame of some of the IL
lustrious men who have shed credit on
tbs American name But what business
have they to claim Thomas Jefferson as
the founder of the Democratic partyH
What essential political principle did
Jefferson enunciate that now adorns the
Democratic creed? He did not organize
the Democratic party. He never be.
longed to it. He was never called a
Democrat. He never attended Demo
crat causus, and never made Democratic
speech He never stuffed ballot-box,
nor declared that ito the victors belong
the spoils." He was a Union man, al.
though an effort has been made to trace
the authorship of the celebrated Ken
lucky State right resolution of 1898 to
Jefferson's pen, which the South adopted
as all excuse for notification III 1880,
and secession in 1861.
Jefferson had been succeeded in the
Presidential chair by Madison, Monroe
and John Quincy Adams, and period
of twenty years had elapsed before the
Democratic party was org lnized by Jack
son and Van Buren,, and "Old Hickory
deserves the credit of founding it, if such
a work can be creditable to any man.
Even Andrew Jackson was never nomi-
mated by Democratic National Conven-
ton of delegates from all the States. 1t
was Martin Won Buren,, the sly little
fox of Undertook, who was first nomi-
mated as candidates for the Presidency
are now brought forward. Before his
day Presidential election was free-for
all race, and hence the records of the
Electoral College show that there were
usually number Of candidates, repre-
senting different sections and different
parties.-ChicGgo Journal.

JAMES LYNCH, a well-known member
of the New York wool trade, says of the
stagnation in that trade: 1--WE have
been expecting dull season, but it has
come much sooner than we anticipated.
There are various causes. The manu-
facturers have been disappointed in get
ting lid of their products. The people
in the west as we'll as in the east, have
held their products in anticipation Of
better prices, and in doing so have not
made purchases of WOODEN goods. An
other cause for the stagnation of thi;
trade is the passage of the new wool tar
IF by the last Congress.

Compare hat and the present low rates

change of plan from that Of previous
years, in eliminating the excursion feat
ure and making arrangements for week
of quiet enjoyment All the steam yachts
upon the lake will be chartered, and sail
boats, ETC., have been placed at the dis
posal of the party. Fishing and picn;ck-

ton of the week. Arrangements will be
made for attending the theatres in Chica-
90 and returning the same evening. One
evening will be consumed by the annual
ball, whichswill take place at the pGinci-
pal hotel in the pla e. A feature of the
editorial holiday will be the publication,
by the lady members Of the association,
of an evening paper, in which personals
concerning re male members of the par
ty will be the predominating feature.
The opposite sex will retort in morning
paper to be issued during the week.

The Way to Do II.

In 1871 farmer bought 400 acres IT
repoted poor land in Glynn. county,
"a, and poor land there Is o land
tndeed,. such as California farmers
know but little, if anything, about.
Upon this land he put 100 sheen. In
1888, by natural increase. he had az
ewes. and had sent to market * wethers
sheep nightly, and every two nights
Iley anurc two and a half acres well.
IN the first eight years he had 100 acres
OF land highly MANFRED and in a state of
s~ultlvatlon, which, when he purchased
IL, was almost worthless. This man has
always Kept q book account Of every
dlme and dollar spent upon his sheep.
ana by casting up a balance sheet after
several years found that his sheen cost
him exactly IS cents per annum per
head. They average him about three
and q half pounds of wool each. Last
spring he clipped in May and again in
September, and the clip amounted to
five and a half pounds per head. Last
year he sold 500 pounds of wool, maxi
ing an absolute net profit of $1,664.
Last year he sold 80 wethers as mutton
TOR S342, making a total Of S2,2S9: be-
sides this, from 81 acres of the fortified
poor land-41 acres in corn, averaging
81 bushels 10 in sugar.cane, that made
90 barrels of strip; Is in oats, that aver
aged ~ bushels to the acre; besides
growing other truck. Now il q man
9 take q poor piece of land and with
good management bring it into a high
state OF productiveness at no expense,
but on the contrary, make money ali
the time he is doing it, cannot q person
take good land and keep it up to its
present standard? OF course it can be
done, with far less trouble than
the poor land can be brought up:
but the trouble is that when the ordi-
nary, tiller of the soil starts on good rich
virgin soil he is prone to believe that
with ordinary cultivation it will always
remain so, and he puts forth no efforts
to keep up the fertility of the soil, and
as his land yields q little, less
year by year, he attributes the cause to
the season or the seed, and never for
a moment thinks that it is on account
II the constant and gradual decline in
the fertility of the soil. The proper way
20 farm is to keep your land in at least
its original condition of fertility, and
this a be done with anything like
good management. Then it should be
the object and effort of every landowner
to so manage as to keep up the fertil-
ity. A bushel of wheat more to the
acre on all the land in wheat last year
IN the United States would have made q
difference in the aggregate crop of
about 100000 bushels, and this sold
at 1925 per bushel would have given to
the producers $100, 000, 600 more than
received. A general increase is desir-
able and can be obtained.-Sam Franz
