Give ,be Wcst a Chance.

Although the electoral vote OF New
York may be very important and in
deed essential TO Democratic success
in 1884, it is a great mistake 10 assume
that no Democratic presidential candi-
date can carry the state unless he is
nominated from that state. Demo-
Gratis have heard that argument abJnt
often enough and theie isn't anything
in it. New York has been given the
candidate every time since 1864,
and in but one instance have the Dem
ocrats elected their President, namely
in 1876, and then he was sw'ndled ont
of his seat. We presume indeed, thai
il the "old ticket" IS TO he brought out
that these objections will not apply,
inasmuch as we believe Samuel j.
Tilden, though he were dead man al
together, could carry New York as
against any Republican. But II the
candidate is to be any other man than
Tilden, we submit that New York
should stand aside and le; the West
name the candidate. The successful
presidential candidates since 1860 have
all come from the West, if we except
the case of Mr.. Tilden, who was elect
ed but not permitted to take his seat.
Abraham Lincoln defeated McClellen,
an Eastern man, in 1864, Grant, a
Western man, defeated Seymour, an
Eastern man, in 1868, and Greedy, an
other Eastern man in 1872. Hayes a
Western man was whether by fair or
foul means successful in 1876, and
Garfield defeated Hancock, an Eastern
man in 1880 Now WHY not reverse
the arrangement? The Republican
candidate is likely to be al Eastern
man next year. More probably he
will be Arthur, or if net, some Other
man from beyond the Alleghenies
Why not then, assuming that Mr.. Til
den is out of the question, give tht
! West a chance 20 name the next Pres
ident by giving the Democratic noml
nation to that section?
There is reason in it aside from thes,
considerations. There are too man,
Democratic factions il New York Il
be healthy. If New Y ork is allowed
to name the candidate, the three o
four Halls that affllct the party ther
will get into o squatble about it, ant
it will be hard to find man who is no
mixed up in the quarrel, and who vii
not encounter the opposition OF on
HALL or the other. Why not, there
fore, take the candidate from the West
and nominate man who has not bee
identified with any Of these faction:
and one who will there fore receive tn
vote of all of .hem' II New York
so important to the Democrats, thi
certainly seems like the snrest way
carry it.-Platn Dealer

Bed Quilts.

A Georgia woman has finished a
silk quilt containing 2,4OO pieces, and
over | 900 yards Of thread.
Miss Alice Martin of Lusby, Ky,
has a Quilt containing 1858 blocks
three-quarters of an inch square.
Mrs. NJ. Baker, Of Lone Tree, Iowa
has quilt upon which she has been at
work seven years, in which is worked
the solar system. She made trip to
Chicago to view the comet and sun
spots through the telescope that she
might locate them accurately.
Miss Allie Martin, of Lesley's Mills,
made the quilt containing A. S63 pieces,
and the local editor challenged the
state to beat 1t. Miss Allie Ghoram,
of Paris came to the front with CON-
posted bed covering constructed out
of 8,04S individual bits of calico, and
she is now the champion.

Two Hundred Years Ago.

Our papers to-day have a great deal
to say of the corruption of legislatures,
state and national, and Of abuses of
those in power. Probably more or
less truth Is involved IN such state
ments. What opportunity in any land
had the rank and file of the people 200
years ago to know about what went on
in high places and governing bodies,
save by word of mouth? Print such
matter in a paper? Had there been
paper to print it and an editor daring
enough to print it, he would not have
seen twenty. four hours of liberty after
the first issue. 1t Is doubtful if ever
he would be seen afterwards.

Farm and Garden.

Observation-Disclosures may usually
be cured if taken in their earlier
stages. Give the animal rest, and II
there is active inflammation adopt
soothing measures at first. Afterward
apply b!isters. Repeat and wash OF
as soon as free exuda;ions have taken
place. This is the usual treatment for
rlngbones in borses, but it is often nee
essary to vary it somewhat to meet
the natural variations of such affec-
tions.
HoasEs' FEET.-A horses feet are
subjected to great variety of motion,
or action owing to the inequalities fthe
ground over which he roams. If he is
put IN stall having smooth floor,
the feet maintain nearly the same posi-
tion all the time, which becomes very
tiresome to the horse, and is liable to
injure him. Much of the litter that is
used In some stables is worse than
wre,ched. 1t not only does no good,
but does injury.
LuMBER-Severai kinds of hard
wood lumber are gradually coming in
to use which, few years ago, were un'
noticed. Beech is one of them. 1t is
cheap and abundant, while the more
popular ardwoods are becoming COM
paratively scarce, and consequently
high priced. Beech has fine grain, IS
quit durable, and is used in the manu-
facture of school and church furniture,
chairs, and, to a certain extent, in do
nestle furniture. The red variety has
a handsome appearance, and can be
made to initiate cherry.
The RANK OF FARMERS 1t is said
that in Japan the farmers have, since
olden times, ranked next to ;he sam
ural, or miltray class With little
more familiarity with American meth
DDS and machinery they will possibly
aspire to the first rank in the nation.
This pride of calling should extend to
the farmers of all nations. Who can
be above the independent farmer? Nc
man should be SO completely "the
arc hitect of his own destiny" Ger.
tainly not, as he who owns and cult
vates,o directs the cultivation Of from
twenty. five to one hundred or more ter
tile acres in a country like ours.
| Corn -CoBs FOR CuRcULlo.-Quite
lively, long discussion has been held in
the California press In regard to the
protection Of Plums from the Curculie
by the use of corn-cobs soaked
in sweetened water. We do moi
exactly understand whether the
cobs are laid on the ground around
the tree, or tied about the stem OF
body, nor do we learn exactly how the
protection is afforded; but it is stoutly
maintained by those who have re-
peatedly witnessed the experiment
that the sweetened cobs do portect tht
Plum crop Notwithstanding a gooe
deal of sarcasm and badgerlDg they
receive from those who disbellevt
the efficacy of the so-called protec
ton.

A pretty evening bat was. made out
of an old black lace saque which had
not been used for years. It was

How She Makes Herself and Home
Beautiful at Trifling Cost.

An old. light or black silk, even if
very much worn, can be made up in.
to a very pretty evening dress First
make skirt Of black or gray muslin
or crinoline, the color of the dress;
then trim the front up to the waist
with little tabs of ribbon an inch wide
If the dress is black the ribbons should
be red and black. Make the loops
four inches long ana alternate the col
ors. The effect is exceedingly pretty.
Pink and blue ribbons look well over
either black or gray, and gray and
scarlet, or gray and blue, over gray.
Make the back drapery plain or bout
tant, as the material will allow. and
put plating or two about the bot
tom. Trim the bodice with a jabot
of the ribbons about the neck, front
and sleeves, making it four inches
wide. This will make very lovely
dress and cost but little extra money.
Thirty yards of ribbon are required.
To freshen up old red artificial
roses crimp with a fluting machine und
trim the tops.
Girls who object to wearing leggings
may make warm over stockings out Of
scarlet flannel and pull over the foot
to the top Of the shoe. The comfort
to he derived from these garments is
not to be despised.
Pretty and warm bedroom slippers
may be made out of pieces of any kind
of woolen cloth, lined with cotton bat
ting, then sewed to pair Of fleece
lined cork soles.

Dainty bedroom mats are made ou
of the threads of old unravelled car
pets. The colors are sewed on
ground of cloth and cut about three
inches long. The crinkles in th'
threads make soft nap.
/ Flower-pots for the sitting room o
parlor are decorated in variety o
ways. A good way. is to cover then
with band of bright-colored plush o
ribbon and iasten with bow. Col
ored paper covers are also pretty, ane
those painted and decorated with pic
lures are also tasteful.
Pure mutton tallow is the best thin,

From The MJrning aud Day Of Reform.
In the United States there are:
Manufacturers OF isto1ieanta, 5000
Liquor dealers, including clerks, $1,000
Total 5000
Now suppose there were in the
land $4,000 Indians, scattered all
over the country, tomahawk and
scalping knife in hand, and that
they were scalping and killing ev-
erv year 100000 men, women, boys
and girls. Suppose, also, they were
debauching and demoralizing the
people, so that sons all over the land
were breaking the hearts of moth
ers, and bringing down the gray
hairs of fathers with sorrow 10 the
grave. and that husbands and faith
ers were changed from kind and
loving protectors to in1uriated and
brutal demons What lCOutd ire

old men, boys, and IcOmeR, too
would arm themselves and crush 10

the country of such an awful horde
OF murderers But these other
$4,000 men in our fair land are
doing far worse than merely killing
1000 of our population annually
They are destroying not only the
bodies, but the souls. They are
making 10000 widows and 100000
orphans, every year, and are bring,

A tremendous Waste.
BY PROF. GEO. Z. FOSTER.

From Tee Morning and Day Of Reform.
The demand for the abolition of
the LIQUOR traffic 10 based upon no
mere fancy. The most weighty
reasons stand back of it and give TO
il n force which is constantly in
creasing.
l. The waste Of food. Every year
in the three countries Of Britain,
United States and Canada, 10000
600 bushels of produce mostly
grain) are destroyed to make alco-
holic liquors. This would give to
every family in these countries two
barrels of flour per year.
,. Every year in these three
countries 81 400, 100000 pass over
the bars of the dramshops for alco-
holic LIQUORS. This would give sew
enteen dollars TO every man, woman
and child in the Anglo Saxon world.
4. Every year in these three
countries fully 100000 ivee are lost
directly or Indirectly through the
drinking of alcoholic liquors, to say
nothing of the degraded, deterior-
ated and criminaiized lives that re-
suit.
To save this immense quantity OF
food now worse than wasted and
keep it to satisfy the starved and
iIl-fed millions; to save this i'm
mcnEe money-value now worse than
iIl-spent, and invest it in capital and
accumulated property; to save this
infinitely precious and useful hui
MANTLE now every. year sacrificed
to a relentless tratfie-these are rea Il
sons so vast and irresistible that IN
proportion AS they are comprehend
ed they will go to make the demand
for the complete prohibition of the
LIQUOR traffic final and absolute.

THE GOOD TEMPLARS'
PLATFORM.

I. Total abstinence from all IN
toxicating liquors as beverage
III. No license in any form or un,
der any circumstances for the sale OF
LIQUORS TO be used rs a beverage.
III. The absolute prohibition oil
the manufacture, importation and
sale of intoxicating liquors for such
purposes-prohibition by the viii
Of the people, expressed in the form
of the law, with the penalties de
served for a crime of such enormity.
Nv. The creation Of a healthy
public opinion upon the subject by
the active dissemination of truth IN
all the modes known ID an enllght-
ened philanthropy.
V. The election of good, honest
men 10 administer the law.
VI. Persistence in efforts to save
individuals and communities from
so direful n scourge against any
forms of opposition and difficulty
until our success is complete and
universal.
