Cleveland Leader.

No agricultural Improvement has had a more
rapid development than tile drainage. In the
main the results have been most gratifying, but
it is not surprising that many mistakes have
been made, as much of the work has been done
by men with little experience.
Probably the most common error has been the
use of tile too small for the main drains. Even
when the tile used were large enough to carry
all the water at first, it has very often happened
that the good effects of the drains have been so
apparent that much more tile has been put in

ny River it causing great mortality
among fish. For distance of twenty
five miles the river is filled with dead
fish, floating with the sluggish tide or
drifting shoreward, where in the heavy
grass and shrubbery they lie decom-
posing, limiting the atmosphere with
foul odors. 1t is estimated that in the
past twenty fonrs FIVE tons of dead fish
have gone down the river. The stream
was stocked by the Government few
years ago and has been popular with
fishermen

MR. EDTToR.-I would announce the
name of W. G. Pomeroy, of Port Royal, for
State Senator. In doing so express the
wishes of large number of Republicans in
this county and IN this Senatorial district.
Mr.. Pemeroy, as a member of the Legisla-
ture, was popular representative He was
faithful in the discharge OF lis official du-
ties. He voted against the continuance of
the extra session. He. voted for an ad =
Journment on every occasion, when he
found no agreement could be had between
the Senate and the House. His course in
the House of Representatives was such as
to deserve commendation. Knowing the
wants of his constituents so well, and with
his legislative experience, his nomination
would be merited one, and be to the best
interests of the Republican party.

''Dr \. b. Richardson, of London.
the noted physician. says he was re-
Gently able TO convey considerable
amount of conviction to an intelli-
gent scholar by simple experiment.
The scholar was singing the praises
of the ,,rudd humber bumpes, and
saying he could not get through the
day without it, when Dr. Richardson
said to him:
"Will you be good enough to feel
my pulse as l stand here ?"
He did so. L said, Count it care
fully; what does it say?'
Your pulse says seventy-four"
l then sat down in a chair and
asked him to count it again. He did
so, and said, Your pulse has gone
down seventy"
then lay down on the loungeand,
said:
"Will you take it again ?"
He replied, why, it is only sixty
four; what an extraordinary thing :!
then said, ''when you lie down
at night, that is the way nature gives
your heart rest. You know nothing
about it, but that beating organ is
resting to that extent and if you
reckon it up it is a great deal ofrest,
because in lying down the heart is
doing ten strokes less a minute Mul
tiply that by 60, and it is 500; multi
ply it by s hours. and within a frac-
ton it is 5000 strokes different; and
as the heart is throwing 6 ounces of
blood at every stroke, it makes a diff
ference of 10000 ounces of lifting
during the night.
when lie down at night without
any alcohol, that is the rest my heart
gets. But when you take your wine
or grog you do not allow that rest,
for the influence of Alcohol is to in
crease the number of strokes, and in
stead of getting this rest you put on
something like $4,000 extra strokes,
and the result is you rise up very see
dy and unfit for the next day's work
till you have taken a little more of
the 'ruddy bumper, which you say is
the soul OF man below"

Mr.. A. H. JONES, in the following
terse manner sums up the tariff ques
ton, as it affects the wages of the
working-mau The cost of produc-
ton involves many items, such as
cost of raw materials, interests, tax
es, cost to build, equip and repair
factories, cost of machinery, rate of
wages, etc. You may have free raw
materials and cheap capital; you
may be able to make as good articles
and you may not fear competition
all things being evual; but, unless
you have some special advantage, you
must have as low wages as your COM
petitors, or you will have to give it
up. Competitions must be met.
Current prices must be accepted.
No business if you are above the
market. Congressional oratory is
very fne-sometimes. Politicians
may ventilate their knowledge of wa
ges and raw materials, and cheap cap
ital and the rights of labor, and the
barbarity of employers and the down
trodden farmers, and all this sort of
stuff, and they may make abominable
triff bills and do heap of mischief
but when they adjourn, and the men
who have millions of dollars of capt.
al invested in manufacturing, and
who give employment to thousands
of workmen, get down to their work,
then must come the practical part of
the business. A cold, deliberate cal
culation of cost is then in order. The
laws of trade must and will be oh
served in spite of all the free traders
who ever lived, and, with tariff for
revenue only-which means, in fact.
free trade-will come low wages
wages at about the European stand
ard or the mills and factories and
foundries will shut down, and there
will be no work at all

TIE Congregationalist of July II,
saws: The ticket, Cleveland and Hen
bricks, is an odd assortment, with
the tail end first-a shaping of things
which Mr Hendricks himself was
not alone in being vexed at. A mum
ber of fine things can be said in praise
of Governor Grover Cleveland. but
his biography furnishes somewhat
scanty material for even his warmest
eulogist. A good Sheriff of Buffalo /:
for a year a faithful Mayor of that
city; for one term a fair Governor of
his State: heavy in flesh, weighing
nearly $50 pounds: not easily push
ed off his hinges; by no means fine
in the fibre of his mind; rather slug
gish in intellect: wholly without ex-
perience in national affairs, and
whose convictions as to the mighty
questions of the time have not made
known generally. To choose such a
man above all others for the Chief
Magistracy of our Republic, the
worlds greatest nation, strikes many
as having in it an element of unwis-
dom. Such a nomination was not
suggested by and sense of the trans
cendent civil responsibilities to be
assumed. But it is, after all the win
ming party rather than the winning
candidate that rules. The choice is
in part, between Mr. Blaine and Mr..
Cleveland; it is, vastly more, a choice
between the two lines of policy of
the two national and historic organi-
zations

If there were any prospect of Sc
curing common fairness at the hands
of the Democrats during a Presiden-
tial campaign when the Republican
party is under discussion, it might
be worth while to remind those who
are continually asserting that Indi-
ana was carried by corrupt means in
1880 that no less a man than ex-Sen-
ator Mcdonald contradicts them.
Mr. Mcdonald is a thorough partisan
who would not hesitate to make use
of any legitimate means to advance
Democratic interests, but he is also
an honest man, and Re will not reit-
crate what he knows to be untrue.
He says that Republican success in
Indiana in 1880 was due to the in
roads made by the Greenback can
didates upon the Democratic ranks.
Mr.. Mcdonald is entitled to more
credit for his honesty and candor
than his political associates are like
ly to give him, but we are afraid it
would be quite useless to suggest to
them the propriety of following his
example.-North American

STATE SENATOR.

Without the urgent solicitation of nu-
merous friends but solely of my own voli-
tion, offer myself as a candidate for 5 tate
Senator, subject to Republican usages.-
That possess the ability to discharge the
duties of the office, viii hardly be denied I;
that have been a soldier, and in every po-
sition in which was placed faithfully per-
formed my duty, the records will show; and
that | have done my full share in making
the Republican party successful in Juniata
during the last few years, is well known to
every Republican in the county. If they
recognize the truth of the adage that the
laborer Is worthy of his hire, then / shall
expect them not to forget my claims at the
primary election, as | purpose making no
personal canvass, having neither the time
nor the means to spare. Respectfully,

You can't trust crazy people as is abund-
artly stated by a despatch from Baltimore
last Friday, of how a crazySOn OF Valentine
Fritz, went into a room on the previous
Tuesday, where his father had laid down TO
take a few minutes rest at noon, with ham
mer drove nail into his fathers head. The
father gave a sharp loud cry, other mem-
bers of the family ran into the room, Mr..
Valentine was unconscious and the crazy
boy was standing by his side with a hammer
in his hand but he was not thought of as
having had TO do with the unconscious state
into wh-ch the father had so sudde My fall
len. On Friday while Mrs. Frits was bath
ing the head Of her husband she found the
head of the nail prOtruding above the scull.
A doctor was called and he drew a finch
nail from the head of Valentine. The cause
of his suffering was not known till the nail
was found in his head. The father cannot
recover from the effect of the wound
