White Pine Progress, Sept. IL; On
last Sabbath IN the Presbyterian church
at this place we listened to a thorough
going, soul string sermon, on Sabbath
breaking and IrreVerenee for the Sanct-
uary of God, by Rev. Harvey Smith, of
Morristswn. A large audience was in
attendance, which he held spell-bound
for more than an hour. he firmly
maintained that to remain At home on
the sabbath day rather than to attend
preaching when convenient, making
pleasure visits on the Sabbath day, or
doing any kind of work on the Sabbath
that could have been done ON some
other day of the week, ministers defer
ring going to their appointments until
Sunday morning and then making long
rides on the Sabbath in order to reach
their appointments, the practice Of
postponins going for the doctor when
some one is complaining, until Sunday,
also the custom of doctors attending
such cases and the practice Of druggists
filling prescriptions of this kind are all
very grievous sins.

Treason In Ohio.
=. oOA IN aA's
Chair'm Dem. Nat. Ex. Commit,

The Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier.J ournal
says: There is q great deal of
gossip here about the Democratic
campaign in Ohio. Tho general
opinion is that the Cincinnati En-.
quirer gang will sell out to Blaine
ii they are able to do so. 1t is
known that "Gathn is hard at work
in Blaine's interests, as are all the
leading correspondents of that pa
per. The Washington correspon-
dent of the Enquirer is q red hot
Blaine man, and it is said that he
is betting that the Republicans
will carry Ohio in October. AS
this correspondent is in full fel.
lowship with his boss, Mclean, it
is thought here that the latter has
"tippedn him. In this connection
the st. Louis Republican, an old
and reliable Democratic journal,
has the following significant arti.
Gle in its issue of Sunday:
"Tho Ohio Democratic campaign
is matter for Democrats to ponder.
The State is Republican beyond all
question. There are some disturb.
ing conditions which have led
Democrats to hope for a favorable
result in October. The country
should be undeceived on this sub.
ject. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
whose editor is virtually the man.
ager of the Democratic campaign,
is making every effort to elect Mr.
Blaine. The old and tried Demo.
Gratis of Ohio are sent back to the
rear. Nothing in the nature of an
honest, faithful effort is being
made by the present leaders in
the State to carry it. 1t is virtu
ally being allowed to go by dc.
fault as far as the accredited man
ayers are concerned. 1t would be
a miracle if Ohio were not lost by
a largo majority under such cir,
cumstances, and nothing but de-
feat should be expected from
Ohio. If the Republicans should
lose Ohio under existing circum
stances there would literally be
nothing left for them TO stand up.
on. But with such Democratic
leadership as prevails in that
State. it seems utterly impossible
that the Republicans should fai
of securing large majority. Let
no Democrat be deceived about
Ohio. 1t would be against com
mon sense to expect success
where success is not desired by
the men in control of the cam
paign. The real Democratic bat
tie is to be fought in Indiana ant
in New York in November, not in
Ohio.u

Return OF Capt. Eads.

Capt. James b. Eads, the well.
known engineer, arrived in this
city yesterday on the Servia. lie
has been spending several months
in Europe and has during that
time been consulted by the pro.
moters of the Calais Dover Tun
mel. In conversation with u Tri.
bune reporter, he said:
"a tunnel under the Straits of
Dover is absolutely practicable,
in my judgment, and that was the
opinion | expressed to Sir Edward
Watkin, the manager of the Great
Eastern Railroad, who is one OF
the prominent English promoters
of the scheme. Already the
preliminary borings have been
made for a distance of mile and
a half on the English side and a
mile and three quarters OH the
French side. From the nature OF
these borings it is evident that no
serious obstacle to the construc-
ton of the tunnel may bo feared.
rs you know, however, an obsta.
Gle has arisen which even science
cannot avail against. The English
nation. speaking through Parlia-
ment, has decided that no tunnel
may be made to connect two ma.
tions. They refused the power to
proceed with the work when il
was formally applied for, and
there the matter rests. II seems
to me that the fears entertained
of the tunnel ever being used dis.
advantageously to England In case
of hostilities is unfoundod.n

must be made against them. Their
paid advocates must be met and
defeated in debate upon the plat
form and in discussion in the

all who are opposed to them must

During the days of chivalry In
Europe a French king requested
an agent to ascertain for him the
cause of the superiority of the
horses Of the Turks and Mongoli.
ans. The agent rode from Syria
along up through the extreme
parts of Eastern Europe. lie re-
ported TO his king that no could
see no reason for the superiority
of the horses there except their
mode of caring for them. They
fed nothing all day long, and dur.
ing the night gave their horses
only little barley, with the ma
tive hay or grasses in abundance
During the reign of Napoleon,
Sonnini was left in Egypt, and af
ter long investigation he declared
that the sole cause of the superb
ority of the horses of the Arabs
was their food. Barley was their
chief diet, with such straw or hay
and grass as could be procured.
He there concluded that barley
was the food for horses, with hay,
straw, etc.
George Barrow, author of "Bible
in Spain,n a most interesting writer
of travels, tells us in a book that
when he started from Andalusla,
famous for mules and horses,
with very excellent stock, for Cali.
cia, he was warned not to take fine
stock there, as, from some myste.
rious cause, good animals soon
died in that place. Time and again
was he warned. AS he entered
Galicia the landlord at the first
hotel, seeing his stock exclaimed
"Senor, why do You bring such
fine animals here? You will lose
them.n "Why ~ "Oh, there is
something in the climate fatal TO
fine stock.n "Maybe,' limited b.,
"your food is not good.n "Oh, no,
Senorl We raise nothing but the
finest Indian corn ever seen. 1t
is not the food.r In very few
days these animals came near dy-
ing. Mr. Barrow never once sus-
pected the corn. Strange blind
ness and perversity!
The truth is when men realize
that food with little phosphates,
furnishing little but fat, is utterly
unfit for growing or working ami.
mails or laying hens, and that these
creatures have been developed by
nature supplying varieties of food
adapted to them and that follow.
ing nature is the true course for
man, then we shall do away with
many evils that ailiict our stock.
Little harm could be done by any
one food if q largo variety of other
foods were given to our stock.
By our abuse of corn in making 1t
the chief diet we have made it o
curse in this respect.
The heaviest burdens our farm.
ers have to-day is from losses and
disease of animals. When, for in.
stance, mules wero worked hard
all day long and at night turned
out to forage for themselves on
thistles and woody ibres, there
was a proverb, "nobody over saw
o dead donkey" Yet, owing to
bad roads and heavy carts, q mule
had to toll twice as hard as now
when big. fat, corn.fed mules are
dropping dead just like the beer
bloated porters Of London, and
from the Same bloated fatty degen
eracy.
