Good Calves.

The present low price of butter
ought to enforce the lesson that it is
not safe to put the eggs all in one
basket. Corn is to be plenty again, as
it formerly has been for nearly all of
the years since the state was settled.
So while butter is being made at the
creamery, it is important to raise good
calves, which can be profitably and sue
cessfully done, without decreasing the
amount of butter. This plan Will save
the business from ever becoming a
failure. There is, and always will be,
profit derived from early and quickly
matured beeves. Unlike butter, with
steers you can always abide your time,
and go into the market when the price
is right. Fer this purpose the COW for
the dairy or creamery must be good

BY ALL MEANS LET IT BE ST. JOHN

The Rev. W. ii. Boole, whose prom
inence is not the brightest of his char
acteristics, publishes 4 communication
in the Weekly Witness of the 10Th
inst, endorsing 81. John for president.
He says the Piitsburg convention
should look at the true worth of this
mighty champion of the temperance
cause, by whose energy the state Of
Kansas was carried for constitutional
prohibition, and closes by saying that
it is not among the impossibilities that
ST. John might carry the state of
Kansas. Far more wonderful things
have !.appened in politics the i'm
mensc majority for Cleveland in New
York created greater establishment,
generally, than would be aroused ia
Kansas by the announcement the day
after The election that the state had
been carried for the prohibition can

Why, certainly, Mr.. Boole, ''far
more wonderful things have happened
in politics." Take for instance ST.
Johns race two years ego. hen out
Of possible sixty thousand Republi-
can majority, he succeeded in electlng
Democrat by five thousand Votes.
By ali manner of means let il be
st. John, and now that he has de-
clared that his conscience will not al
low him to support the Republican
presidential nominees, because the
platform does not conform to his own
broad ideas, he might be able, with
his deluded followers in this state, 10
poll such vote, that two more years
of Democratic rule would be our lot

CLEvElAND'S DESTINY,

Candidates are sometimes nominal
ed who are destined to be beaten In
1872 DIR. Horace Greeley was such a
candidate. Yet in the hope of gain
ing the liberal Republican vote the
| Democratic convention took him and
made him its standard bearer. The
result was soon seen in the dc>pon-
dency and disorganization of the
Democratic party. In the election
DIR. Greeley was frightfully defeated ;
yet the Democracy, never having been
identified with him, was not greatly
injured, and soon recovered its equi-
| librium.
In 1884 it is again proposed to nom
mate n candidate for the purpose of
securing what is now called the indie
pendent Republican vote, and Grover
Cleveland, man not qualified to be
president, and himself an extreme in
dependent, though Democrat in
name, has been picked out for this
purpose.
If Mr.. Cleveland should finally come
forth as the candidate of the Chicago
convention, he will appear upon the
stage bearing the mark of destiny,
and that destiny will be defeat. At
the same time the disaster will be
most pernicious in its effects upon the
Democracy. The folly of repeating
such foolish experiment, with a man
independent of party obligations, will
be signally punished, and TIE disor-
ganization it produces will be of II
sort that will take years to recover
from.
If the Democracy must be beaten in
1884, there are plenty of honored and
distinguished statesmen who might be
selected TO lead the doomed army
without invoking. in addition IL The
calamity of overthrow, the dangers Of
disorganization and dissolution.
If the Democracy is now to be beat
en-and beaten when the chances for
victory are better than they have been
for IT, cnty years-in heavens name
let the tragic experience be conducted
under some leader with whom the ca
lamity will be free from disgrace and
not entirely fatal.-New York Sun.

BLAINE AND TINE MAINE Law.
An Attempt to MisIead German veters.'
The Facts plalaly SstFerth.
[Chicago Tribune


There is deliberate conspiracy to
persuade the Germans who have been
in the habit of voting the Republican
ticket that Blaine is responsible for the
prohibition law of Maine = that
through his efforts it was enacted.
Democratic agents are already at work
| i'm the western cities and towns cndea-
vOring TO create this impression, and
the Chicago Staats-Zeitung is seeking
in hypOcritical and sneaking fashion
| TO give the lie the celOr Of truth. The
facts are these
The Maine law was passed in 1851
and Blaine did not take up his resi-
dence in that state till 1853. When
Blaine went to Main to live he was a
| young man about twenty-three years
old, perfect stranger in the state and
it was not till ten years later that he
began TO make an impression on pub
lie affairs. BY the time Blaine had ac-
quired position and influence the
Maine liquor system was as firmly
fixed as the laws of the Modes and
Pensions in their day. This is simply
matter of history which anybody
can verify for himself, and It is suffi-
cient to relieve Blaine of all RESPONSE
bility for the enactment of the Maine
! liquor law.
! But there are other circumstances
which emphasize the malignity of this
effort TO create prejudice against
Blaine among the German voters.
Not only was the Maine liquor law
passed third of a century ago, when
Blaine was boy struggling to obtain
footheld as school master, in Ken
lucky. but it was passed by Demo-
cratic legislature and signed by a
Democratic Governor, in obedience
to the general sentiment ola Demo-
cratic constituency. The Republican
party had not been thought of or or
ganized at that date. Ii is simply alb
surd to hold Blaine, as Republican
leader, accountable for any thing
which was done before the Republican
party came into existence, and in a
state where he did not reside at the
time. But it may also he stated that
the Democrats of Maine have never
made an issue on the prohibition law.
They carried Maine in 1879 and con-
