Jehersonyille Gazette.
The present depression in business, and the
hard times, in the face of the fact that there is
every prospect Of an UNUSUAL and abundant crop,
and la large share of it already successfully
garnered is awakening many to the fact that
there must be some good substantial cause for
it. Working men who are out of work farmers
vino are getting low price for their wheat, the
business man who can not sell his goods, and
the manufacturer who finds it necessary to cut
wages or employ less men, are all deeply inter
ested in this singular staguation, at this partic-
ular time Before the result of the elections
1.-TWO years ago) had been fairly announced, an
assault was made upon the tariff, under the
lead of the free-trade element of the Democratic
party. The business life of the n alton
was attacked. The manufacturer, not
knowing how far this move might reach, for self
protection, commenced to diminished his prod
ucts. The man with means to invest dare not
do so, for fear of ultimate loss The working
man and mechanic first felt the pressure, and
was obliged to cut down his expenses, and IN
turn, deprived the business man OF his usual
amount Of trade, until all were compelled to
play at economy and retrenchment. Nor will
there be any radical change until the people at
the polls, next November set their seal of CON
domination upon that party and restore the con-
fdence Of the people in the stability and contin-
ued practice of the principle of protection to
home industry, principle which has brought

Mr.. Hendricks, in his indianapolis speech, said
it would be absolutely necessary for the Presi-
dent to change $4,000 of the present federal
Office holders. This is the bid that Cleveland,
through his associate on the ticket offers for his
election to the presidency Fifty thousand
Offices to be distributed among the hungry Dem

offered fifty millions Of dollars it would have
been regarded as a dishonorable attempt to bride
the people, and he would have been denounced
as a corrupt politician; but his offer of $4,000
offices is of more value in money point Of view
and only results in Mr. Hendricks being demon

Deserves TO Be Spit Upon.

Cambridge CITY Tr1bune.
The friendly alliance that has SO suddenly
awakened between Luther Benson, NJ E. Shiel,
of the Monitor journal, and others, on the part
of the temperance people and the managers of
the Democratic party is the cause of much com
ment by large majority of the temperance
workers in this State. The motive of such
movement can be easily understood when it is
known that hypocritical temperance frauds of
the type of Luther Benson are its chief advo-
Gates. This alone should be evidence sufficient to
brand ittas a bargain and foul mess deserving
to be spit upon and unhesitatingIy denounced by
all true and wellwishing temperance people of
the State.

The Railroads Not Likely To Be OverOrowded
with Business.

A veteran freight man yesterday remarked
that it would not be wise for railroad men to
build castles in the air regarding the future of
business there would be no boom nor would any
line for great length of time have any more
business than they can comfortably handle.
Wheat crop estimates range at present from
46S, 900, 900 to 554,O0O,OOO bushels. The FIRST
with our present population and railroad system,
would be bare average crop and offer very lit
tie hope for the future. The other would mean
a boom There is, unfortunately, far more rea-
son to expect the lesser thanthe larger estimate;
but there is still fair chance that the yield may
touch 475. 00O, 000 possibly 100000, 900 bushels
These figures with large corn crop, would
bring fair prosperity. The crop is now far
enough along to make it reasonably probable
that no disaster will befall it; at the same time,
as the Railroad Gazette points out, there is no
present likelihood Of a crop large enough to
overcrowd our present railroad facilities.

Paris green has no effect on squash

as the squash bugs, ice, etc have a
beak or proboscis with which they
puncture the epidermis of the leaf and
sip the juices from its interior. In this
way they avoid the poison by sticking
their beaks through it. A good way to
capture squash bugs is to lay pieces of
board under the vines, and the bugs,
crawling under ITEM at night, can be
captured in the morning. The bugs are
usually found with their|fect against the
boards, pressing their backs to the earth

q.!n way and at her own
.e. No good farmer fails to recog-
nize the i'm .ortance of being always
ready for the changes and requirements
of the seasons He knows that there is
a time for fertilizing, time for plant
ing, time for cultiyating, time for
harvesting, and time for selling. He
knows that June is not the time to break
up the ground for corn, Lor December
the time for harvesting the crop; that
each grain and vegetable must be placed
in The soil when the season and the ele-
ments are ready for it; that the mature
product, to be perfe t. must be given
sufficient time to lipen, and yet not be
allowed to deteriorate in quality by per-
mitting it to remain uncared for until
the per cd of maturity has bfen reached.
1t is the work of long Years to practi-
ically and thoroughly learn tn Sc things,
yet he is not master of his business if
he fails to famiiiarize himself with them.
There is great deal, and much more
than many people imagine, in being
prom 9tly ready for the changes of the
seasons on the farm. That it is infinite
ly better to push ones work than to
be pushed by it is the experience of
everyone who has given both kinds of
management. fair trail. 1t is, of
course, impossible to do the same kinds
of work at precisely the same date
each successive year. So great are the
variations of season and temperature
that there will necessarily be differ
ence of fortnight or month in plant
ing for a certain crop this year and
next. A late spring or an early one
may necessitate quite change in pro-
gramme in matter of time. But this
need not and should not interfere with
the farmers beng prepared for either
event. There is no good reason why
one should not be always ready to take
advantage of an unusual propitiousness
of season. If time can be gained by an
unexpected favorable opening of spring
or early arrival of summer he should be
| in position to rea ize the most poss-
BILE from the advantageous circumstan-
ces. If the season be late there is nc
loss in being ready for it early. Indeed
there is even then a gain in being always
on tine. There is such a thing, of
course, as being IN too great hurry
in rushing the work of the farm. Plow.
ing, planting and harvesting may alike
be so unseasonably early as to be profit
less. There is no great proneness.
however, in this direction. We take it
that delay is chargeable with agricul-
| tural failure to much greater extent
than is undue haste The most sue
cessful farmer is the one who avoids
both these extremes. Always ready and
always in good time he never rEshes
inconsiderately ahead of nature, and is
only placed at fault in his calculations
by some very unusual development of
season or some circumstance teyond
his control. The country wants more
clear-headed, thoughtful, well posted,
ever ready men in its agricultural in
terests, in order to make the chief oc-
cupat.on Of our people in the highest
