the fred daisy and say it is worse
weed than the white daisy. 1t is bit
ter; nothing will eat it. Cattle and
sheep will not touch it and it runs out
the grass. Cutting it with the scythe
or moving machine will not kill it.
1t is perennial, and very trouble
some weed; and only the most thor
ough cultivation will kill it. A field
ploughed in the spring was red with
its blossoms by the middle of June.
1t is supposed that in some places it
was introduced as Towering plant,
and escaped from the garden to the
fields. Farmers should make war
upon it on its first arrival.

Among the many magazines that come
regularly to orr table we think there is
not one which more completely carries
out the publishers idea than the s'Cottage
Hearth" From the beautiful illustration
of the old time fireplace on its front cover
through all its well printed pages runs
the one idea of making home duties and
trials lighter and life in general more
pleasant and hopeful by the reading of
pure, pleasing, eleyating, and beautifully
illustrated stories and poems by our best
American writer's. In the March ISSUE
just received we notice bright, sparkling,
semi-humorous story by B. P. Shillaber

true way of giving help to needy friends,
and many other useful and pleasing arti-
cles. We cordially recommend this mag

The Danyille Riot.

The ma Ority report of the United
States Sen ,te Election Committee on
the Danville rot declares tina: it VS.,
preme.litated and pr%econcerted for the
purpose of raising the a c issue and III
timidating the negroes. The Demo.
Gratis p~rearranged the rot and indorseu
t after it had occurred.
Mr.. Lapham. who prepared the re.
port. introduced somer kilograms which.
ne claimed. sustain the conclusion that
the riot was the deliberate work of the
Democratic party.
The Committee finds no evidence that
the negroes iired I shot until after the
whites fired Il general volley. and that
very few had weapons of any kind The
negroes were of all ages and both sexes.
and had gathered I'm i~uestionably from
curiosity. The whites, on the contrary.
were generally armed. The iire-beiI
was rung. but not 'or a fire. On the
contrary. it was 4 secret sigma! for the
white military company. The whites
came rapidly from all directions. and
arms were distributed to those who had
none from the shops and stores. The
.eport concludes:
1.-The object of the Democrats in these
efforts to raise q race issue to alarm the
blacks and excite the whites was two
fold: First, to intimidate the colored
voters in localities where they were as
strong as in Danrille; second. hut chief
", to produce such n frenzy of feeling
n the State as would induce the white
electors 10 join with their own race an
.scape the contumely and reproich to
which they would otherwise be sub
ected for fratern;zing politically with
.'niggers." 1t was made to appear that
the bla ks were the offenders. when in
truth the white Democrats were a mob
in possession of the town, and no negro
Jared make his appearance on the
streets. The occurrence WAS one which
caused re oicing instead of regret to

POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

THE New Haven journal and Courier has
taken time to cool of, and now hoists the Repub
lican ticket at the head of its columns.
COLONEL R. q. TNGERsoLL, when asked if he
thought Butler had any show, replied that the
"General had a very good show, but he would
not dispose Of many tickets this year"
THE Democratic member Of the State Legis-
Iature from Lexington, KY, declares that his
party has done nothing to advance the prosperity
Of his State and that it is time for Kentucky to
cut loose from the free-trade Democracy and
favor protective tariff.
AN independent State ticket has appeared in
the field in Alabama, but nobody seems to know
how it came there. It is made up of Democrats
and the movement is supposed to be engineered
by those who are dissatisfied with the -renomina-
ton Of Governor ONeil.
CHAIRMAN MORRISON Is quoted as saying,
since the Peoria convention: Il take very little
interest in the nominee, but do wapt good
tariff plank. A tariff for revenue, leaving of
the only would do very well as far as the
words GO but the people are not going to be de-
ceived Now, if Randall and should get to-
gether and make plank to suit as both, It

Clarke says his opinion has not changed, that
he still regards Mr.. Blaine as man whose
private character is honorable and ainniable
and that bis reason for not supporting him is
that he represents a bad side Of politics. It

lieves the Democratic party to represent the
good side, even with the angel Gabriel as a

respect for his Judgment of men viii now cast

CNoINNATI Sun Ind: Nearly month has
passed since Blaine was nominated The ex-
pected revolt has taken place. Who does not
know that Blaine is stronger to-day than even
his friends thought he would be, and that he Is
growing stronger with every day9
THE reappointment Of Governor Murray has
caused great rejoicing among the 'sgentilesD of
Utah. and the Salt Lake Tribune, their ablest
newspaper organ, expresses itself with great en-
thusiasm. One of Governor Murray's strongest
credentials is the cordial hatred of him which Is
manifested by the Mormon olgarchy
THE people of this country are amiable and
forgiving, but they are not yet in mood to in
dulge the party which sought to destroy the
Union in the pastime of carrying out Senator
elect Blackburns threat: "We do not intend to
stop until we have stricken the last vestige OF
your war measures from the statute book
IF the Illinois Democrats think they have
fixed Carter Harrison for the campaign they are
mistaken. Carter still believes that it is noble
to die for ones country, if need be- as Vice
pres president or senator at Washington. AS for
that picayune nomination for the governorship,
Dick Oglesby will surely make it look sick.
TIE revolters, every one of whom is doubtless
fresh in his reading of the English classics
will be able to console themselves during the
next few months by borrowing from Mr.. Web
ster the reflection that sit is not the first time in
the history of human affairs that the vigor and
success of the war have not quite come up to
the lofty and sounding phrase of the manifesto"
LET me say to you, said Governor Robinson,
OF Massachusetts, to the Amherst graduates last
week, that there is good deal more honor and
highmindedness in public life than people give
credit for. Criticism is right; but because
man is put under examination it is no reason
why he should be condemned We want college
men In politics If you think politics should be
better, go in and make them better.a
The campaign badge approved by the Repub
lican State committee of Maine is a neat and
suggestive one. and is likely to prove popular all
over the country. It is blue ribbon with a
pine cone for the pin, which holds also small red
and white ribbons, the white one bearing the
names Blaine and Logan" On the blue ribbon
are the inscriptions: .'The woods are full of
them, and 1--WE mean victory for the Man from
Maine and the Black Eagle from Illinois"

The day is past when Democratic bummers
can abuse Irishmen who dare vote as they
please. The long expected break has begun,
and little more slander heaped on Rhody
shiel will sink the Democratic party into a
hopeless minority in Indiana. The Irish are
slow to resent injustice, but, once aroused,
do not soon forget the wrongs put on them.
The Democratic party will yet discover that
its mortgage on that people has never been
signed.

notoriously without principle. Fortunately
for the good Of this republic,
the number of these independent
Republicans is few; the people are largely in

work to its completion. The masses have

Politicians must follow, or get left in the race.
The Republicans of this Nation are to-day as

t1F the tariff does not mark the dividing

difference between them and the contest be-
comes a mere scramble for place, with the

The Courier-Journal is right. If the Dem
ocratic party cannot meet this great issue
fairly, and in such manner as to admit of
no question as to its intention, then is the
public warranted in refusing to place conf
dence in it. The platform is but a mask be-
hind which it hopes to steal a march for the
Offices. On this very point the Democratic
party has juggled for eight years never
committing itself or allowing its pur-
poses to become known. And when
the issue came up in Congress,
only few weeks ago, a Democratic bill,
drawn to ffreform" the revenue, was defeated
by Democratic votes The committee on res
olutions Of the national Democratic conven-
ton now assembled is equally divided on this
question. One-half is as widely separated

holding its own and winning as many as may
be deluded by its juggle Of words. The

trickery, is enough to forfeit to that party the

will again be the case. The American public
