s.Little BERTHE Blynn had just finished

keeping still for few minutes after eat

good rule it is. BERTHE was sitting IN his

told us to be careful not to give our

THE "MISTAKES" OF THE PARTY.

Republican Politicians Satisfied That a
Wise Head and Firm Hand Control At
fairs.
The Republican managers expected
to have organized before now for their
campaign of 1888. They felt confident
that MIR. Cleveland would wreck the
Democratic party at once, for had not
one of Mr.. Blaine's loudest organs, the
New York Sun, pointed out how in
competent the Democratic standard
bearer was? how unit he would be to
conduct the business of the Govern
ment? The issue would be a very SIM
pie one, thought the Republicans; ''the
mistakes Of the Democracy" nothing
more, nothing less.
But as yet the Republican managers
have not launched forth. On the other
hand. they have kept remarkably quiet.
For President Cleveland is making such
an admirable Executive that even the
opposition can not find flaw that will
afford capital for campaign purposes.
True, some of the Republican papers
find fault with the Administration, but
so grOundless are their charges as to
make them absurd from the start.
President Cleveland entered upon the
work of reform the day after he was
indicted into office. He did not make
a clean sweep of the offices, but he in
stituted rigid examination, and from
day to day since the 4th of March resig-
nations have been called for, and good
men appointed in the place of incompe-
ten, partisans. And the verdict of all
intelligent and honest men is that a
wise head and firm hand guide the
affairs of the Republic.
So long as good men applaud the
Democracy and thieves complain, the
Republican party must keep in the
background.
The loss to the political thieves by the
change in the Administration is enor-
nous, and well may the Dorseys and
Bradys cry out against fate. But the
more they howl, the better satisfied will
the people be.
The outlook is indeed gloomy for

A Thriving Commune.

Every one knows something of the
prosperity of Swiss townships where so
many things are in common, but a
more remarkable instance still of a
thriving commune is given by M. de
Laveleye in the Contemporary Repiew.
1t is the township of Freudenstadt, at
the foot of Kniebis, in Baden. There
are 1,420 inhabitants, each of whom has
as much wood for building purposes
and firing as he wishes, while he can
send his cattle out to pasture on COM
mon land during the summer. Schools.
churches, thoroughfares and fountains
are all maintained by the commune.

Corn.

Corn is plant that is exceedingly
amenab.e to culture. A farmer may
very easily improve his seed corn by a
little care in selection and some in cul-
tivation. The great loss in growing
corn is in the production of barren
stalks, male plants, which yield no
fruit. The ear is the fruit and is pro-
duced only by perfect plants which are
bi-sexual or male and female both. or,
as may be more correctly said, stami-
nate and pistillate. A stalk with a
tassel only and no ear is barren and
fruitless. Such stalks by impregnat-
ing the perfect plants propagate their
own kind, and so tend to reduce the
weld of the crop. This is to be pre-
vented by growing or breeding seed
from perfect plants only and by re-
moving every stalk which has no ear
from the neighborhood of the seed
plants. By persistence in this mode of
breeding corn has been improved from
a yield of forty bushels up to eighty or
even $50 bushels per acre. A seed plot
should be cultivated on every farm for
this purpose.-N. 7 Times.

SHERMAN'S VIEWS.
John Sherman's Idea of Breaking Dew
the Ell ective Franchise.

John Sherman's Idea of Breaking Down
the Ell ective Franchise.
Hon. John Sherman has recently been
showing unusual activity in ventilating
his views. He has availed himself of
several opportunities to let the country
have the advantage of his opinion on
matters of public interest. Among
other things, he has given his opinion
of the ''crime of breaking down the
elective franchise and robbing the peo-
pie of their right to govern themselves"
Of course, Senator Sherman is repro
batting an offense which he classed
among the most heinous, as he did in
his recent Cincinnati Chamber of Com
merce speech. meant to convey the idea
that the Democrats were guilty of that
species of political iniquity.
1t is not in the least probable when he
condemned in such strong language the
crime of breaking down the elective
franchise, that he had reference to the
proceedings of Marshal Wright's depu-
ties by whose violent and unlawful in
reference the franchise of the people OF
Cincinnati was broken down and the
result of the election perverted IN the
interest of the Republican party. He
could not have had that in his mind
when his virtuous indignation was
aroused by the contemplation of polit-
zeal misdemeanors. Nor is it likely
that his condemnation of the crime of
'robbing the people of their right to
govern themselves was intended to
include the stealinglof the Presidency
from the man whom the people elected
in 1876, in which crime Senator Sher-
man was prominent participant

COSTLY INCENDIARISM.

Destructive COnfiasration Among the Best
Business Houses of Vincennes, Ind.-List
of the Principal Observation-Disclosures
Suspected.
EVANSVILLE, IND, May 5, 2:30 a. NJ
The COurieT's Vincennes 0nd } special
says: One of the best blocks in the busi-
ness quarters of Vincennes is in ashes.
The fire is thought to have originated in
a warehouse in the rear of Green's
Opera-house, and many believe it to have
been of incendiary origin. The alarm
was sounded at nine O'Clock, an hour at
which many had retired, and the streets
were comparatively deserted. The build
ings destroyed, together with losses and
insurance, so far as can be gathered at
this writing, are as follows:
Green's Opera-house, owned by Will
liam Green, valued at S25, 900, and in
sured for Sl2, 500.
Smith & Co.'s drugstore. Loss, 3d.
800; insured for 81 800.
l.. Johnson, agricultural implements
warehouse, in the rear of Green's Opera
house, containing S12,00 worth of ma
chinery belonging to Johnson, and 5000,
worth belonging to the Champion Ma
chine Company. Most of the machinery
was removed and the loss is estimated
at between 81, 900 and $4,000.
G. L. Bailey, warehouse adjoining;
loss, $4,000 to S12,00O; insured for
$4,000.
In the same block, facing on Broad
way, building belonging to Heirsto and
W. j. Wise, valued at 500; Insured for
$3.50.
williams & Wilhelm, lawyers in Opera
house block, books valued at $500.
W. c. johnson, lawyer, same block;
loss, $500.
j. W. Green, grain dealer, same block;
loss, $4,000; insurance, $500.
Garrison's poultry warehouse in the
building belonging to G. A. Weiserts;
loss, $4,000.
Ben Kuehim, grocer, Opera-house build
in-; loss, $4,000; insured for $4,000.
The Post-office, belonging to Moss &
Watson; loss, 900: fully insured.
The stamps and valuable papers were
saved.
Victor Geese, bakery and confectionery;
loss, 1900; partially insured.
Speigle, Gardner & Co., furniture deal
ers; loss $1,000; fully insured.
Three frame houses, owned by Fred
GrOeter, proprietor of the Grand Hotel;
Pat Callahan's saloon and the Odd Fell
lows Hall were damaged 81, 500, and Il
large number of other buildings were
badly scorched.
The wheat in Emison Bros Atlas Mills
was badly damaged by water. The Bal
tlmore & Ohio and Western Union main
offices were burned out; as was the Office
and wharf-boat warehouse of the Vim
cennes steamboat line. Loss on the lat
ter, $4,000: insurance, $4,000.
The foregoing represents only partial
list of the losers, but additional names
and amounts can not be ascertained. At
this hour 6 Il. M. the fire is still burn
ing, though under control, and citizens
are still greatly excited, and the whole
town is in the greatest confusion.
