no Fears and that I'm the wOolgrowing dis
tricts at least, they mean sufficient prOtec-
ton 10 satisfy the wool-grOwer.
Thus we find the opinions OF leading states
men of each political school, the expressed
and interpreted principles Of both platforms,
the doctrines of all sound public politics, and
the actual results proven by authentic stalls
tics all point to the fact that we are deserv-
Ing Just, and, will add, an increased pro-
tective duty on foreign wool, and will also
predict that by judlcious management and
united action we will yet secure It..
do not think you will consider me vain
when point to the fact that In quantity and
quality of wool produced Ohio has In the
past held front rank. And at the present
time, mainly through the efforts Of Hon. w.
N. Cowden and his associates, the exhibit of
Ohio woods at the worlds industrial and cot
ton centennial exposition at New Orleans Is
all that even an Ohio man might desire.
With true pride for the future of our great
State, let U.S. by ali fair means, unite our ef-
forts In a continuance of its present prom
inent position as a woolgrowing State.
There Is strength in honorable organizn-
tion, and, as In time of storm at sea, the

AN ELASTIC PHRASE.
Tho Significant Sentence In Cleveland
Late CIvil-SeryIce Letter.

The Significant Sentence In Cleveland's
Late CIvil-scrylce Letter.
A gentleman who was describing his
own arrest upon a certain occasion said
that the Sheriff's warrant to which he
listened seemed to be very pleasant
reading till it got down to where it said
stake the body" but that he did not
enjoy that particular portion of the doc
ument quite so well Mr.. Cleyeland's s
letter TO the mugwumps runs along
gilbly enough in commendation Of the
reformed civil service, and seems like a
refreshing political document, until one
reads some of the concluding remarks
which give the real gist and meaning of
the whole instrument. The following
is the most significant sentence in the
entire composition:
''Many now holding positions have
forfeited all Just claim TO retention, be-
cause they have used their places for
party purposes in disregard Of their
duty TO the people, and because, instead
of being decent public servants, they
have proved themselves offensive par
tisdns and INSCRIPTIONS manipulators
OF local party management"
This opens the door for a regular
Jacksonian raid on the office holders.
One needs only TO be an offensive par
tisan" in order TO be excluded from tho
benefit of all that has gone before in
the Governors letter. The phrase is
very elastic. Governor Cleveland him
self when he went over 10 Jersey dur
ing the campaign, made speech urg-
ing all good and intelligent citizens 10
take an active interest in the politics
Of the days, but just this kind Of in
terest will no doubt be interpreted in
the Cleveland code as ''oIfensive par
tisanship,h since ii is hardly possible
for one to become very earnest in
political matters without giving active
support to some party.
The simple fact is that this notion of
removing men for offensive partisan
ship lets down the bars for the inaug-
uration OF an old. fashioned Democratic
Administration on the plan Of turn
ing everybody else out Of Office. A man
who regularly votes the ticket OF either
party may be called partisan by Gov
ernor Cleveland, and one persistently in
the habit OF voting the Republican
ticket would probable be an offensive"
partisan, for nothing is more offensive
to o. real Democrat such as Governor
Cleveland processes to be, than real
Republican who sticks to his own or
ganization.
Fine words Mr.. Curtis and his
friends receive in abundance, but the
buttcred parsnips are all in the con-
cluding sentences intended especially
for the consumption Of the Democrats.
The mugwumps get what the Celestials
call talkee-talkee;" the Democrats
will get the Offices. 1t is no wonder
that Mr.. Thomas A. Hendricks Is salts
fed with the letter. It lays down a
platform, 10 ,start with such ~ we arc
told might be expected from Cleveland; I;
II ends up with 4 platform such as
everybody knew might be expected
from Hendricks. .-DetroSt Post

They Struck Wood.

Various attempts have been made
from time to time to obtain supplies OF
pure water by means of artesian wells on
the arid plains of the West. In some
cases success has followed the experi-
ments, while in others no water fit for
use has been found. Such well Is now
under the drill at White Plains, New,
on what is called the forty-mile desert,
in the neighborhood of the sink of the
Humboldt. The only supply Of water
obtainable is from the Truckee River,
thirty-fve miles distant, whence il Is
hauled in tank cars for engine and
household purposes. The well now
drilling has reached a depth of 2,l00
feet, and no water has been found other
than a stream of salt water at the depth
of thirty-eight feet, and hot water at
the depth Of 6Sj feet.
A strange find was that Of a stratum
Of wood at the depth 1918 feet, which
was nine feet in thickness. II is doubt.
full II such a quantity Of wood has ever
before been found at such depth. How
it came there, under great masses oI
various kinds OF stone, sand and gravel,
may be explained by geologists. As
some parts Of the superintendent mass
showed indisputable evidences of vol.
canic action, the presence Of the wood
may be accounted for as the result OF
some great convulsion Of nature. =

A Warm Wave.


"Well, I'll be shot II this isn't a
snifterr' he said, as he entered a street
car which was occupied solely by two
women.
Haven't seen II as cold for twenty
five years." he continued as he stamped
up and down the aisle and rubbed his
ears.
The women paid him no attention,
and suddenly he paused and blurted
out:
"How on earth some folkses' ears and
feet can stand this weather, exposed as
they are, is more'n can see. should
think a day like this would carry of
half the female sex" "
No reply was made. but one Of the
ladies arose and opened the rear door
of the car and the two took seats close
to II and began to fan themselves with
newspapers. The old fellow watched
them for about minute and then bolted
through the front door and dropped TO
the ground and called to the driver:
keep my old five cents and be
hanged to you, but | won't ride in a
car with no sich cranks II / lose my
whole twenty-four toes!"-Dctroit Free

FERTILIZERS.
Something About the Various Kinds and
Their Relative Value.

Something About the Various Kinds and
Their Relative Value.
Land destitute of vegetable matter
will neither absorb nor retain moisture.
There is always poor growth without
sufficient dampness, and this is an i'm
portant reason why commercial fertiliz-
ers work better, as their advocates
admit, "when used with barnyard
manure" ! have been called old fogy-
ish for insisting that farmers should not
put much faith in the so-called phos-
pilates. 1t seems to me foolish TO follow
any system so expensive and risky, and
which tends to make increased dryness
in the soil, when experience teaches
that moisture is so essential, | am sat
isiied that much drainage is an evil, and
coupled with this comes the phosphate
craze. 1t should be the aim Of farmers
TO increase the vegetable matter in the
soil. Thousands of acres of land in the
older States have been made unproduc-
tive, if not barren, by the exhaustion OF
vegetable matter.
Commercial fertilizers will never re-
store these lands nor keep up the fer
tility of the larger portion Of the areas
now under cultivation. They should be
used only as aids in promoting the
growth Of plants. In some soils, where
there is a supply of organic matter,
superphosphates undoubtedly increase
crops. Farmers, however, do not dis
criminate, but with deal of guesswork
and lavish outlay they overlook nature S
laws for replenishing the soil. II is one
of the standard arguments Of fertilizer
agents that it is good economy to sell
straw and other fodder and buy from
them the weighty compounds with the
small per cent. of ammonia, phosphoriC
acid, potash and nitrogen. My system
is to purchase these substances in the
form of fodder, and keep more animals
and make them my commercial agents
and chemists. ID. Curtis, in N. y
