The Device of the Coalitionists.

AS We have said on former occasion, it
is now the purpose of the Coalitionists to
make, if they can, the tariff question the
issue in this State, with the view of divid-
ing the white vote upon that question, as
they succeeded in doing upon the debt
question But in this, they will fail, for,
as the Lynchburg TiJyiai0e says, ''there is
no issue here and can be none, if we keep
our senses. And so, whatever NAV be our
different ideas on the abstract questions OF
free trade and protection, we know that
the former is utterly impracticable now,
and that the latter is a necessity; and for
reasons wholly foreign to the mere ques-
ton Of protection to American industry.
All of our people, except the few who
depend upon the collection of internal rev
enue for their support, want to see that
anti-American policy abolished; and the
next Congress, in all probability, will ex
tirpate it root and branch. That done, the
only resource for the support Of the gov
ernment must be tariff on foreign goods
To raise four hundred millions of dollars
annually, will necessarily require heavy
duties to be collected upon all dutiable ar
ticles, and as small free list as possible
And this will operate as protection, wheth-
er We want it or not, and whether we think
that protection, in the abstract, is right or
wrong. We have it, and must be content
to have it, for years to come And so,
there should be an end of controversy on
this subject at present. At all events, we
feel very sure that the Conservative Con
vention, that is to meet in Lynchburg in
July next, will not allow this question to
be made an entering wedge of division.
They arc not going to split on that rock,
nor be caught in the trap that the willy boss
has set for them. Not bit Of it. They
can safely, and we trust will, ignore that
question. There are other matters, of
practical Importance, to engage the atten-
ton of the Convention, and not the least
among these should be an arraignment Of
Malone for his outrages against ga free
ballot aud fair count" and his general sys-
TEN of political corruption. But neither
the debt question, nor that of protection,
will be made issues in the Convention Or
the canvass that is to succeed"

The Alexandria Gazette says that "Gen-
eral Wickham, the chief of the Republican
party in Virginia, and by far the ablest,
most reputable and most influential man in
the party, has determined to act with the
Democrats in the future. This is Indicative
of one of the few good effects of Mahoneism.
No reputable and self-respecting Virginia
Republican can continue to act with his
party as long as it remains, what it has
been for some time past, the mere instru-
ment by which General Malone advances
his own selfish interests. General Malone
is driving all the respectable white Repub-
licans over to the Democratic party, not
that they love that party or approve of all
its principles, but because they see that
under existing circumstances the safety Of
the State and the welfare of their own in
terests can be best secured by the success
of hatparty, and the consequent defeat and
humiliation of the Mahoneites. Gen. Ma
homes recent defeat shows that he will suf-
fer complete rout next fall, and the true
and conscientious Republicans in the State
will be justly entitled to a share of the
merit for that devontly desired consumma-
tion''

How TO MAKE Cows GIVE Mr1K.-A

How TO MAKE Cows GIVE MILK.-A
writer in the Southern Farmer says that his
COW gives all the milk that is wanted in a
family ofeight, and that from it, after taking
all that is required for other purposes, $50
pound of butter were made this year.
This is IN part his treatment ofthe cow: eff
you desire to get a large yield of rich milk
give your cows every day water slightly
warmed and slightly salted, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of one quart to
two gallons of water. You will find, if you
have not tried this daily practice, that your
COW will give twenty-five per cent more
milk Immediately under the effects oft, and
she will become so attached to the diet as to
refuse to drink clear water unless very
thirsty. But this mess she will drink al
most any time and ask for more. The
amount Of this drink necessary is an ordi-
nary water pail at a time, morning, noon
and night

NEWSPAPER DUNs.-Here is the way a
brother journalist puts it: We presume
that some people think that newspaper men
are persistent duns. Let farmer put him
self in similar business position and see if
he would not do. the same.
Suppose that he raises one thousand
bushels of wheat, and his neighbor should
come and buy bushel and the price was
only the small sum of two dollars, or less, and
the neighbor says, 81 will pay you the
amount in few days." AS the farmer
does not want to be small about the matter,
he says all right.
Another comes in the same way, and still
another, until the whole of the one thou
sand bushels are trusted out to one thousand
different persons, and no one of the purchas-
ers concerns himself about it, for it is a
small amount they owe the farmer, and of
course that would not help him any.
He does not realize that the farmer has
frittered away his large crop of wheat, and
its value is due in thousand little dribleGs,
and that he is seriously embarrassed in his
business because his debtors treat it as a
little matter. But if all would pay him
promptly, which they could as well do as
not, it would be very large amount to the
farmer, and enable him to carry on his bust
ness without difficulty The above compar-
ison is too true of the difficulties that the
newspaper man has to contend with.

A DISCOVERY ABOUT CoRN.-An ex-
change tells Of man who plants, two or
three weeks after the crop is planted, a new
hill of corn every fifteenth row, each way.
And this is the reason: If the weather be-
comes dry after the filling time, the silk and
tassels both become dry and dead. In this
condition if it should become seasonable,
the silk revives and renews its growth, but
the tassels do not recover. Then, for want
of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the
Office for which it was designed. The pol
len from the replanted corn is then ready to
supply silk, and the filling is completed.
He says nearly all the abortive ears, so
common in all corn crops, are caused by
the want of pollen, and he has known ears
to double in size in this filling.

INDIANAPOLIS, May %, 1885


Joseph Pulitzer, Esq:
My Dear Sir,-I earnestly desire to see
you successful in your new enterprise, and
am confident that the energy, enterprise.
and ability you have displayed in the other
fields of journalism will command success
in this larger field to which you have ex-
tended your labors.
With us this is the off year; we have no
elections of any kind this fall, and there is
absolutely no political agitation in our
State, except such as arises from being in
terested spectators of the political conflicts
IN other States. feel a strong conviction
that the political tide which set in in favor
of the Democratic party last year will con-
tinue until the party shall be triumphantly
successful at the next presidential election.
The tariff issue connected with the gen.
eral subject of revenue reform will neces-
sarily be an Important question in all fu-
ture political contests until it is settled up
on the doctrines Of the Constitution and
the principles of sound political economy.
We may be some time reaching a solu-
ton of the question, but as the public
mind comes to be enlightened it will not be
satisfied with any tariff that has not for it's
leading purpose the raising of revenue for
the Government; nor with the details of
any tariff law in which the duties laid upon
foreign merchandise shall be above the rev.
enue point.
With my best wishes for your success,
and also for the success of the cause we
both so earnestly support, | am, truly
yours, J. E. MCDONALD.

A MOTHER KILLS THREE CHILDREN
AND HERsELF.-Mrs. Martin Douglas and
her three small children were found Friday
morning in their home at Huntsville, ten
miles from Carlisle, Pa, with their Threats
cut from ear to ear. 1t is supposed that
the mother, while in fit Of insanity, mur-
dered her children and afterwards took her
own life. The coronor's jury rendered a
verdict to this effect The dead bodies of
the children were lying in bed, and that of
the mother on the floor in the same room
with bloody razor near her. Her husband
was absent from home at work at furnace
several miles distant, and was accustomed
to come home only over Sunday. Some
months ago the family physician noticed
symptoms of insaity in the woman, and
cautioned her friends, but as nothing in her
conduct appeared strange to them they paid
little heed to the doctors advice.
