their duties to the letter irrespective of

W. o. Hensel, chairman of the state
Democratic committee, did not have much
to say about tilling the soil. He devoted
himself almost exclusively to comments
upon some of the clauses of the Changers
official declaration referred to by the pre-
vious speaker. Mr.. Hensel said "There
is no subject on which farmer is as sen.
sitive as that of taxation, and 80 long al
the Grange advocates equal taxation for
equal value for the farmers it lays down q
law that every one will agree is good
He opposed the idea of levying and collect.
ing equal taxes in all parts of the state.
The keystone of our prosperity is
local self government. and the first
duty of every good citizen is the
government Of the township, the
borough, the county, and 50 on up
until the state government is reached.
Farmers are always most interested in
roads and schools and they should elect
their own supervisors and directors and
hold them accountable for levying, collect
ing and disbursing the taxes. Then if the
farmers of township want five months
and bad roads, all right, and if those OF
other township want eight month school
and good roads, all right. Goods roads
and good schools are of more Importance
to farmers than the gain of a senator or
the annexation of new territory" On this
question of local self government Mr..
Hensel spoke for fifteen minutes. Then,
he said, the Changers declarations read too
much like the platform of political con-
vention, and vigorously opposed the pro-
position to teach agriculture in the public
schools. He spoke of the mismanagement
of the agricultural college, and favored
whitewashing and fencing it in as a monu
ment to "twenty years blundering."

The managers of the picnic say that about
70, 900 people visited the grove during the

energy the success of of the affair is main

After dinner there was music and speech

Ak. Mcclure spoke first. He said that
if his auditors only wanted to hear what
he knew about farming he could tell them
in about a minute and half. He epromised
to speak with perfect frankness and avoid
fulsome aattery distributed by speakers
on previous days. The speaker said that

theoretical farming and raised wheat at a
cost of ten dollars bushel. Not one
farmer in q hundred had any idea what
is the reason he had bad crops one year
and good another. Ths speaker referred
to the immense amount of money wasted
in misuse of fertilizers and said practical
farming could not be learned in colleges. As
far as the general principles of applying
fertilizers, a boy could learn it in q month:
a man can master it in less time. To be

rewards with fewer chances of detection
than that which thieving pension agents
in Washington may practice upon their
ignorant and unsuspicious soldier clients.
The applicant for pension, righteous
though his claim may be, dislikes to
announce it from the house tops, and
rather than entrust the business of its
collection to the care of local lawyer of
reputation, confides in the honesty of an
unknown pension agent,to whom he has
been introduced by specious circulars

The latest illustration of thisvariesy of

cowardly assault on General Boynton is

fee was accepted from an Illinois soldier

possible to be done for him. These are
only few isolated instances where the

PernieiOus Literature.

| Orndorf' & Addison, Of Vir-
gInIa City, have made a good
move in refusing to sell trashy
literature to boys. There are
Eastern firms now flooding the
market with a style Of illustrated
story books which glorifies crime
and makes all kinds of revolving
vice heroic. The key note of
these villianious serials is def
ance Of law. The hero is rep
resented as Il young chap who is
too smart for the police, sutwits
the detectives, and goes on year
after year, practice the pro-
fession of a burglar, foot-pad
and countefeiter and always
getting the best of the authorities.
If he happens TO be sitting in the
gallery of the theater and an
officer reaches for him, he
pitches the peeler down into the
orchestra amid a tumult of ap-
plause from the audience. All
these things give a boy false
idea of crime as a regular bust
ness. II a yOungster starts out
on the plan laid down in these
books he will get nabbed by Il
Deputy Sheriff and find himself
in the lookup inside of six
hours. 4 boy may lick a police !
man in a story, but he always |
comes cut badly left in real life. /
As the COnstock Wsdealers
have set the good example OF /
not selling these cheap and
trashy books, Jonn G.. Fox and
CagWin & NOteWare should adj
vertise to also refuse 10 act as
agents for these pernicious
periodicals.
