The Republicans Have Taken a Plain Course.

In all the history of the amendments, the
Republican party has pursued a plain, hon
est course. In the election of 1884 it will
have nothing to explain. Not so with the
Democratic party. A large portion of tenn

they have been deceived. The Democratic
bosses will smart for this

recall the thrill of admiration that swept over
the country when the news was published of
Barron's heroic death in defense of the treasure

tho charge was made that the wounds were self
inflicted to hide defalcatiOn. Suit brought by
the bank against Barron's estate led to an ex-

CRIMINAL RECORD.

The Catholic knights Treasurer Defaulter.
GRAFTON, W. Va, July 19.-The sensation

mer, ex-supreme treasurer of the Catholic
Knights of America Hechmer was first
elected five years ago and held the office con-
tinuously until last May, when W. ]. 0Bri-
en-, of Chattanooga, Tenn, was elected by the
National C. K. of A, at ST. Louis, as his sue
cessor. Hechmer made most determined eff
forts for reelection, but was unsuc cessful
He settled with his successor about the goth
of June last, at which time he turned over
$4,000, retaining So, 600 by the consent of
Mr.. o. Brien to pay draft supposed to be in
transitu. This draft was the means OF de-
teeting Heehmers defalcation.
The association OF which he was treasurer
is beneficiary society in the Catholic
church, and has large membership all over
the United States. Great surprise and regret
is expressed at the disclosure, and friends
say the shortage, when all accounts are adj
justed, will not exceed $4,000. 1t is not
known whether prosecution will result or
not No effort has been made to arrest him.

THE TWO sNIALLEYs.

New York Letter to st. Paul Pioneer Press.
E. v Smalley has left journalism fer mag

About once an hour he would rub his hands
through his hair and groan with the ecstacy

more like the wind collie. But they accepted

get up and brush his hair again.

The Secret of galsiag Turkeys.

Lancaster
One of or most successful breeders re-
marks upon this point: '<Sre great secret of
raising turkeys is to take care, and take care
all summer, and even then Won cannot raise
them, for sometimes they will not Law. or
they will not hatch, or soMethiug will befaIl
them. Sometimes we raise turkeys without
much care when the season is specially ia
vorable, but generally the measure of care is
the measure of success. A boy ten or twelve
years old, with a little direction from his
father, can easily take care of 200 turkeys
and he cannot earn SO much money on the
farm in any other way. 1t is an old maxim
that if a thing is worth doing ii is worth do
ing we'll. Some may think this constant care
Is too much trouble to raise turkeys, This
is free country and you may omit any part
(or the whole) of these suggestions. If you
know better course by all means pursue it,
This pains-taking has made turkey raising
about as sure as any other branch of farm
industry. have usually kept from eight
to ten turkeys for breeders, and have raised
from ninety-nine to one hundred in
summer. In 1860 1 sold my turkeys for
twenty-seven cents a pound; they amounted
to $2S0.40. In 1860 | sold for 25 to 81 cents
per pound; gross amount of sales 1886 A.
That year | kept an account of expenses
and calculated the net profit at $2l358 In

cents pound than to raise pork and sell at
10 cents pound. Perhaps in fattening pork
you can save the manure better; but the

much as guano, and are certainly worth a
cent pound"
The turkey crop is steadily increasing in
value, not more by the increased number of
farmers who make this a speciality in their
poultry-raising than by the increased at
tention and skill of those who have long
,been in the business. Care in selecting stock
for breeding brings ample rewards. The
prospect was never better than now for the
extension of the business among the farmers
who have a good range and good markets
The average size of turkeys in the districts
where the business is made a speciality IS
steadily increasing and we look for still fur
ther improvements

the man who had been feeding the tube was
out of his seat and the innocent Huntley
fired his own matter to the foreman without
submitting it to the man at the tube, who, as
he afterward learned was the city editor.
The next day he was summoned before Hor-
ace Greeley, who opened ont on him with
stream OF profanity that made Huntleys h2lr

editor was not pleased with the new mans
effort and the luckless author received a
dressing down he never forgot. At the first
break in the torrent of invectives that flowed
from the good mans lips, Huntley ventured
to ask if his report was not correct, and if
the first duty of reporter was not TO state
