We have frequently exposed the hol-
lowness of the pretensions of the Ma
hone party that they are the friends of
the public schools, and we have shown
by the official reports of the Superin-
tendent Of Public instruction that the
greater the Malone majority in a county
the smaller the amount contributed to
the support Of the public schools. Talk
is cheap and costs the bleater nothing,
but 1t does not build q school-house nor
pay the salary Of teacher, and the
friends of the schools are the men who
put their hands into their pocket volun-
tarilY'and contribute money to their
support.

J. Sturgeon are on trial here for re-
ceiving money as deposits in the Hum

it to be insolvsnt. Otto Corner, one
Of the directors, occupied the stand all

that upon an investigation year before
the bank closed he found it short over

as they feel disposed. and their friend

the amount Of money they thus yolun-

We gather together below, in groups
Of two. . number Of Democratic and
Mahopeite counties, arranged together
in pairs, so as to show as nearly as pos
sible an equal amount Of receipts from
the State funds. They are taken from
the report Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
instruction Farr for the year 1891, aud
in each pair is an intensely Mahoneite
county and an intensely Democratic
county, and our readers have an oppor-
tunity to witness an unfsiling test OF
the practical friendship Of each for the
public schools. The first named in
each group of two is Mshoneite coun-
ty and the last Democratic county:

Proving Too Much.

1t is generally conceded that mathe-
mates is an exceedingly dry study.
The average student not only dislikes
mathematics, but is devoid Of tender
place in his heart for his professor OF
mathematics. In the general run OF
our colleges the mathematical class looks
like body Of youths on trial for their
lives. IL q member Of the class so
far forgets himself as to SMILE, his
mouth Involuntary takes the shape
Of a parrslielogram. or right-angled
triangle, and Immediately thereafter his
countenance assumes an expression
that suggests the problem of lights
with the lights put out. AS for the
professor, he never smiles. In addition
to the fact that be is aware that smile
would excite suspicion that he did not
know " enough mathematics to hurt, '"
he is conscious that each man in front
of him feels as if he would like to as
ssssinate him. Yet there is an
opportunity to reform all this. We
are satisfied that if our professors oil
mathematics will introduce into their
lectures the calculations that some of
the organs are making TO prove that the
negro vote in the South is suppressed,
they will not only popularize mathe-
matics, but obtain the verdict that
most "Math." professors are "jolly
good fellows" Nothing could be more
broadly humorous than to prove by a
mass of figures the opposite of
everything it is attempted to
prove-a thing the organs are
doing daily. Yesterday our esteemed
and humorous contemporary the Ma
Gonal Republican had three calcula-
tons Of the kind mentioned that are
sufficient to light into perpetual bright
ness the gloomiest mathematical class
that ever assembled. The Republican
not only proves that the negro vote in
the South could not have been sup
pressed, but it proves that the Repub-
lican party holds that the negro's right
not to vote or to vote the Democratic
ticket ought to be suppressed.

Of information, should say that the
election in Virginia last fall was, as a
rule, freely and fairly conducted; but
being neither a prophet nor the son OF
a prophet, it is impossible for me to
make prediction as TO the election to
be held in November next, even were it
proper that, from an official standpoint,
should attempt to PREJUDICE the event.

This bit Of advice, so frequently
given by the poultry papers and
agricultural press Of the country dur.
ing the last few years, is beginning to
be followed, to an increasing extent
if we may judge by numerous indca-
tons at the present time. Very
slight facts may be as conclusive as
more notable ones, if one has %acuair.
ed a habit of observation, and the
latest indication of the poultry in.
terest, which has met our view, is the
fact that farmers are selling off but
very few of their pulIets this year.
In previous years, one could find
daily opportunities during the fall,
to buy fine coops Of pallets at the
commission houses, but, this season
it is quite different. Very large
shipments have indeed been made,
and the market kept well stocked
with live fowls, but a large proper
ton Of them are old hens and young
cockerels. This is a significant
"straw." -Poultry and Farm Journal.

Young chicks are sometimes
troubled with a disease that for lack
of a better name, we cal Indigestion.
They lose their appetite, bake ur
behind" NOPE around and die. 1t is
caused by feeding sour, uncooked
food, lack of gravel and green food.
The preventives are obvious. Feed
only cooked food, provide gravel
and plenty of green food. Onion
tops or lettuce chopped and mixed
with the soft food is excellent for
young chicks and turkeys. Some
times a cure can be effected in the
early stages. of this disease by Civ.
ing a half teaspoonfnl Of croton oil
or tincture of rhubarb, and then
feeding for a few days on cooked
rice, or stale bread soaked in milk
and seasoned with pepper. a little
