DANGER AHEAD.

Before our next issue, the contest he
tween the leading parties, State and
National, will have been decided and
the results generally known. Doubt
less never before in the history of
American politics has there been SO
much money used and unfair means re-
sorted to by political parties than dur
ing the present canvass. Parties and
party leaders are becoming so corrupt
and unfair in conducting political cam
paigns that it is becoming alarming
and dangerous to American Institutions
and American liberties. Unless there
is some legislation to prevent the use of
money and other dishonest means in
the purchase OF votes, the will of the
people can not be expressed at the bal>
lot box. National elections, as now
conducted, are a farce-a disgrace to
an intelligent and civilized people.
There is danger ahead. The condition
of things is alarming. Money is power,
and when used for dishonest and un.
lawful purposes it is very dangerous.
When the time GENES, and it seems
near, that the Presidency of these
United States can be purchased with
money, and this great government con-
trolled and manipulated in the interest
of few corrupt individuals, then will
our boosted freedom, purchased by
Washington and his followers but little
more than century ago, be no more.
In a few years more such men as Jay
Gould, Vanderbilt and their associates,
will be able not only to own and con-
troll the great systems Of railroads,
steamship and telegraph lines of the
country, but absolutely buy and control
the government departments. At the
present rate of increase of wealth and
corruption of monopolies and combina-
tions, it will be but a few years until
the unsuspccting masses of the people
will become subjects of oppression
worse than king. There is danger
ahead. Stringent laws, State and Ma
tional, with heavy penalties, must be
enacted ia prevent the use of money in
elections. The public good and the
safety of our liberties demand that
something be done and done quickly to
avert the danger ahead.

New Tanning Process.

The Drugman.
One John Shaw, of Hindmarsh, near
Adelaide, South Australia, has inven-
ted a new method for tanning with
soap and oil, together with carbolic
acid. The skins, which have been
lined in the ordinary manner, also hair
ed and prepared, if for the production
Of sole leather, are placed into a tan
bath consisting of mixture of AZ liters
water in which Sc ky. soap we're dis
solved, and containing two liters car
bolic acid, in which the skins are left
until they have become converted into
leather. This process can be matters
ally accelerated by adding one.half
liter fresh carbolic acid to the tanning
fluid from time to time. For the pur-
pose of producing another softer leather
the raw lined and haired skins are for
one or two days placed into a mixture
of four parts carbon disulphide and one
part carbolic acid, after which they are
washed.

The Southern Lumberman.

Every man engaged in the saw mill
or lumber business in Tennessee should
have Southern Lumberman, published
at Nashville, semi.monthly, at $500
per annum. The Nashville American
of Oct. 9th, has this to say about it !:
at is devoted to the saw mill and
lumber interests of the country, more
especially to the Southern States. 1t
occupies broad field, and represents
an immence interest, for the lumber
business of the South is next in i'm
portance to the cotton and the cereal
crops. 1t is a handsomely printed
journal of 40 pages, substantially put
together, and cut so as to be easily
preserved for future reference, and the
issues for one year make volume of
$50 pages of valuable information for
saw mill men, wood workers, lumber
dealers, owners of timbered lands,
manufacturers of woodworking ma
chinery, and, in fact, to everyone who
is in any way interested in timber Or
lumber, from the planting of tree to
final sale of the finished article"

IRISH POTATOES.

The following article, which we clip
from the New England Farmer, and
others we have seen, indicate that the
potato crop will be short in the North,
and prices high, the coming season.
We do not know to what extent it will
affect the Southern markets, but it
might be well for all our farmers who
have a surplus to take care Of them, as
there is likely to be demand for them
at fair prices in the Spring. Our po-
tatoes are very fine, and doubtless the
South will want them for seed. We
should take care of them and not al
low them to freeze or go to waste,
"All through the Eastern States the
merchants and farmers are complains
ing Of a small crop of potatoes. Ow-
ing to the fact that they were very
cheap last season, the farmers planted
less than before, the decrease in the
acreage being about fifteen per cent.
Early in the season the crop looked
well, and large yield was predicted,
until the drouth of June and July came
on. This stopped the growth of the
tops, and caused many fields to rlpen
prematurely. When the rains at last
came on, those that survived the drouth
grew so rapidly that they became
course and watery, and fell an easy
prey to the rust and rot. In some
places whole fields turned brown IN a
single day. The rot has been so bad
that the yield Of sound tubers has fall
en- off onethird from last year, making
1t much below the average. Even
those that are harvested are not in
good condition, and many will spoil
before marketing.
Under those circumstances the trade
is very unsettled. Prices now range
from twenty-five cents to one dollar
per bushel, the former being in Cen
trail New York, the great potato-pro,
ducing lands of this country, and the
latter is what they bring in the seaport
towns of Massachusetts,.
In Novia Scotia and Quebec the
crop is almost an entire failure, and
our merchants can no longer rely on
those sources for supplies, as has been
their custom hitherto. The rot is work
ing badly in the great shipping section
of Northern Maine, and many potatoes
will have to be converted into starch.
Vermont has small crop Of good
quality, rot being reported less FREE
quently than elsewhere. New York's
acreage and yield are below the figures
for 1883, and there is general dispo-
sition to hold. The Eastern crop is
below the average, and the Southern
demand promises to be larger than
usual.
With these facts in view, the mer>
chants are inclined to buy, and the
farmers disinclined to sell. When
there is change in prices, as there
must be before long, the probabilities
are that they will be much higher"

white and black, big, little, old and

are more likely to be convinced Of
their error by kind words than by vitu-
peration. In plain words, the paper

This remedy is known far and wide as the
most successful ever discovered in cases of

it is a well-knOwn fact that a chronic case
of spawn is virtually incurable but even
such case can be greatly ameliorated by
using KendalPs remedy, while in cases of
growing SPAWN they can be Immediately
removed by few applications. 1t is also

Mr.. and Mrs. Nj. b. Curtis were seated,
jumped the track, breaking the front

courag eously keeping her seat until the
signal to jump was given, which was
done after the breaks were set. Mr..
Curtis then escorted her to the door and
