Hog ChOlera.

Since hog cholera is prevalent in parts of Wis
eonsin and in other Western States, the Iowa
Homestead makes the following points on the
theory that an ounce OF prevention is worth a
pound of cure, and because it has no faith in So
called cholera cures, beyond usual dsinfectants:
l. A rigid quarantine should be established
against other hogs. The pigs raised OH a farm
should never 90 off of it, except to market and
no other hogs should be allowed, under pretense
of breeding, weighing, or any other, to come on
the farm,
2. A most rigid quarantine should be main
tanned against owners of infected herds or visi-
tors, employees on such promises This is a
most frequent source of contagion. A farmers
hog shows unusual symptoms. and he goes
around to see if his neighbours have the same,
and carries the infection his boots. The
dealer in dead hogs should be treated to dose
of the bulldog If he puts his nose inside tho
gate.
3 The greatest care should be used in the
matter of feed. The hog loves variety and
constant feeding on one kind of food tends to
derange digestion and invite disease. The only
wonder to us is, taking into consideration the
way hogs are fed, that onehalf of them do not
die with disease.
4, With all these precautions the disease may
strike you. II may be carried by dogs, wolves
or buzzards; by the running water or by the
casual visitor. When it does, separate the sick
from the dead, disinfect all yards and lots, and
avoids wood pastures

That there is an element Of "wld goose" in the
makeup of the American farmer none can deny.

incapable, Blaine was strong. That was in the
domain Of politics In that direction Mr..
Blaine's career has been long and laborious. He
is no novice, no untried hand, but an exper-
fenced politician of unquestioned ability and of
demonstrated powers What is also of inealcula-
BILE advantage to candidate, he is inlbued and
animated with the policy of his party and is the
avowed champion of its principles, No one need
ask whether he is protectionist or free trader.
He is for tariff that shall be protective, and
for the last month ne has been travelling through
the West giving special emphasis TO his adher-
ence to that principle.
With Nr. Cleveland the case is wholly differ
ent. He knows nothing about politics. He is
dull in intellect well coarse in nature He
has not the learning nor is he fitted by natur
to fathom the questions that dealt with by
statesmen, or to comprehend and perform the
duties of the presidency. He seeks to bolster
I'D his ignorance by the amazing plea that the
President has no duties beyond those that can
be performed by ready penman. No one knows
his sentiments on any public question, except
that he is in sympathy with Morrison and Hurd
on the tariff, and stands ready to second their
efforts toward the humiliation Of protection
In his previous life he has never risen to such
prominence that it became matter of any i'm
portance what he thought At the close of the
campaign he remains the same heavy, blank,
unattractive figure, revolving in character and
a nonentity in politics, as he was wien the CON
tesf onAuad.

ROCKVILLE, Oct. Pa joint discussion be-
tween the Hons. James T. Johnston and
John E. Lamb rival candidates for COMPRESSION
al honors, took place here Friday afternoon,
The day was extremely cold, and it was thought
best to have the speaking in the opera-house.
The doors were opened at o'clock, and in a few
minutes all available space was occupied and the
aisles density crowded, there being fully eight
hundred people in the house, while on the out
side a great crowd blocked the street up to the
entrance of the opera-house. The Democratic
and Republican chairmen held a meeting and
determined on an adjournment to grove near
town. The crowd was varouSly estimated at from
1880 to :. 900, making the largest gathering that
has been in Rockville this campaign. Notwith-
standing the chilly wind the people paid close
attention during the discussion, each speaker
being heartily cheered when good point was
made. Mr.. Johnston opened in speech of
hour, dealing out sledge-hammer arguments and
Simonpure Republicanism, which was well re
ceived. The speaker wasfrequenty interrupted
by applause. Mr.. Lamb followed in a speech of
an hour and a quarter making a very good
speech considering the few facts he had to talk
about Mr. Johnston closed the discussion in a
fifteen minute talk. in which he worsted his op-
ponent and made himself the favorite.

Indiana in Splendid shape.


Can they carry IndianaH Emphatically and
decidedly not, When the people of Indiana are
thoroughly aroused it is as safely and reliably
Republican as Ohio. In twenty-five years it has
only given it's electoral vote to the Democracy
once, and that was in 1876, when the people
were still soreheaded from the effects of the
panic and various sporadic cases of corruption
among individuals intimately and remotely con
nected with politics. The party was divided and
cranky. This year it is united on grand
national issue Indiana is moved as it was never
moved before. The State is boiling from end to
end and from Ohio to Illinois tremendous
vote will be cast The State has been closely
and Systematically polled, and the Republican
managers say it will surely go Republican The
campaign has been magnifcently managed, and
we hare little fear of the result.
