The Republican party is making an inter
esting effort to swing clear of the operation
of its machine in constituting its next Ma
tional Convention. The attempt very much
resembles the experiment of trying TO walk
with ones legs tied. The machine is the mind
of the party. When the party has no longer
any occasion to think before it acts machine
guidance will be superfuOus. The machine
is political necessity; but the manner OF the
machine IS always alter the manner of the

The bill allowing others than publish
ers and news agents to mail periodicals
registered as second class matter at the
rate Of one cent for four ounces, was re-
ported to the House of Representatives
Monday and passed without delay. The
promptness Of the House in this case is to
be commended, and it is to be hoped the
Senate will pursue a similar course and
the President sign the bill, so that it may
become a law as early as possible. The
wisdom of the measure has been fully
discussed, and it is one that has been de-
manded for a long time.

The Italian government is about to mo
nOpolize the railroad business of the king
dom and will cause the roads to be man
aged by two great corporations. The
railroad companies will receive a per-
centage of the gross receipts while the
government and the managing corpora
lions will share the balance after paying
the operating expenses. The government
assumes no guarantees and pays no sub
sidies. This is a novel experiment, and
one that is not expected to encourage the
railroad interests of Italy. 1t looks like a
direct seizure of large part of the COM
panies' income without offering them any
corresponding advantages. 1t would not
be surprising to learn that the managing
corporations are very nearly connected
with influential government officials.

Bismarck has returned the Lasker res
oluti0n, and now it remains to be seen
what the House will do about it. He
gives as a reason for his action that the
resolution contained an opinion which
he could not recognize as correct, and
could not, therefore, permit it to be pre-
scented to the Reichstag. The opin-
ion to which Bismarck referred is
as follows: sHis loss Edward Lasker)
is not alone to be mourned by the people
of his native land, where his firm and con-
slant exposition and devotion to free and
liberal ideas have materially advanced
the social, political and economic con-
dition of those people, but by the lovers
of liberty throughout the world"
1t is hardly probable that the House
will take any action. 1t has, however,
received a lesson that it will not soon for
get. Hereafter it will take care to know
the full meaning and purport Of resolu-
tions which it adopts. The Hon. L. 7.
Ochiltree will, of course, do some tall
talking. but his talk will not amount to
much. The fate which his first attempt
at legislation met will not tend to create
the impression that he has the making of
a statesman in him.

The Coroner of Oyster Bay, L. l., de-
serves sympathy. When the Townsends
wdre assaulted, some weeks ago, he was
promptly on hand and summoned jury
TO attend the inquest. The Townsends
are not dead yet, but the dutiful and en-
terprsing Coroner calls the jury together
once "a week and adjOurns to await further
developments. When an officer shows
such a commendable disposition to per-
form am unpleasant duty it is really cruel
in the subjects TO live on and put him to

The National Democratic Committee
meets at Washington tomorrow, to APP
point the time and place Of holding the
Presidential Convention. a majority Of
the members have been in the capital for
several days. and by this time almost the
fuu number is doubtless on hand. The
last accounts indicate that only st. Louis,
Chicago and Cincinnati are real candi-
dates for the convention. All three have
strong delegations in Washington, and
they are using every available argument
in favor of their respective cities. The
probabilities are that the contest Is be-
tween Chicago and St. Louis with the
chances in favor of the latter.

Changes in Niagara's Name.

A Buffalo paper says that the name
Niagara has passed through many or
biographical changes in the last 200
years. H. l&S7 it WAS written Oniago-
ragh. In i6S6 Gov. Dongan appeared
uncertain about it, aud spelled it Ohni-
agero, Onyagara, aud Onyagro The
French in 1865 to 1909 wrote If Niaguro,
Onyagare, Onyagra, and Oneygra
Philip Livingston wrote it in 1870 to
1870 Octiagra, Jagera, and Yagerah, and
Schuyler and Livingston, Commission
ers of Indian Afairs, wrote it in 1920
Oniayerae, Ochiagara, etc. In 1921 it
was written On. agora, Oniagara, and
accidentally, probably, Niagara, as at
present. Lieut. Lindsay wrote it Nj
agara in 1851. So did Capt De Lam
cey (son of Gov. De Lancey), who was
an officer in the English army that
captured Fort niagara from the French
in 1859.

The Best Lotion Made.

On Saturday morning last, Mr.. James
Woolstenholme, of the town of Liberty
came to the city, and had with him a
gray horse that people generally be-
lieved, last fall, would die from serious
injury he had received. Several persons
looked at the horse, as the cure was
considered wonderful. The HERALD
interviewed Mr.. Woolstenholme in re-
gard to the horse and he made the fol-
lowing statement:
'1n June last my gray horse acciden-
tally came in contact with barb wire
fence and tore open his breast, making
an ugly wound about eighteen inches
long and three inches deep, exposing
the windpipe and severing one artery.
After spending considerable money for
the services of a veterinary surgeon. a
couple of months after the injury l was
induced to procure some of Baxter S
Horse Lotion" and applied it twice a
week for six weeks, which wrought a
complete cure. In October last the
same horse while jumping rail fence,
inflicted a wound in the breast again,
as bad as before. procured some
more of the lotion and applied it for
about two weeks when the wound was
healed and the horse put to work. My
neighbors thought, as did myself, that
the horse could not live either time, and
do not think it would except-fo Bax-
ter's Lotion, which heartily believe in
and do not think too much can be said
in praise of it.

The cultivation of this singular par
isitic shrub for ornamental purposes is
recommended in foreign papers, and
foung trees with Mistletoe growing on
hem are offered for sale in English
urseries. 1t is generally found on the
branches of apple trees, but is not very
.rticular in this respect, and takes its
nahitation also on different other trees.
t may be raised from seed placed in
he crevices of the bark of young,
healthy branches; or it may be prop
'gated by grating; in which case, a
Piece with portion of the bark of the
Tree from which it is taken has to be
cut with it, and firmly secured to the
new position
The European species is larger and
rather more ornamental than our native
kind, for which reason the latter might
not prove a success for exclusively or
namental purposes; but if some enter
prising florist should succeed in raising
Mistletoe in neat hanging baskets,
which might be hung ingeniously over
doors and archways under which young
people of both sexes have to pass-and
older ones, too, for that matter-there
might spring up quite demand for the
novelty" about Christmas time.
