"Colonel William l.. Royal

When we look to the legislation that

TAKE CARE OF THE CHICKS.

On the fourth page Of this paper
we publish a splendid article from
the Poultry Monthly" entitled
&" Hints on Chicken Raising" Bear
ing in IAind that poultry is becom-
ing a more and more profitable
production each year such articles
as the one referred to should be
read and carefully preserved. We
are aware that our chicken raiserS
cannot always provide everything
mentioned there, but there is a
large margin to selectifrom. If only
a few of the hints" are followed,
chicken raising will be more Ell
couraging. There will be less dis
ease of all kinds, and twenty to
thirty cents may be more generally
relied on as tn c value of each little
chick a few months after its hatch
ing. OF course it must be under
stood that elaborate treatment is
intended more for the instruction
of specialists in the poultry bust
ness. They must necessarily be
more careful than the farmer or
the mere housed holder. These
latter can profit much by using
Just such things mentioned as they
have at hand. One "hint' we
would add Of our own: DO not
give little chicks corn meal. Crack
cd wheat, screenings, tho milk and
green food suggested with careful
use Of pepper and salt, aud plenty
of sand to rustic in will make many
a farm and house yard pay. And
this, too, can be done without dis
turbing neighbors if only good
neighborly precautions are taken.

1t is doubtful whether all that
the Republican party has done to
make the criminal outrages Of the
Ku-klux Democrats Of tue South
odious in the eyes oftheir perpetra.
tors has cIualled in effect this one
act Of President Cleveland in dis
crcditing the leaders Of the Copiah
County aSSassius. Whatever Re
publicans have said has been re-
ceiycd and treated as if it were tie
prompting Of party hostility, rath-
er than Of higher motive. But
when a Democratic President de-
clarcs that Democrats guilty Of such
crimes are unfit 20 hold Office, and
publicly assigns participation in
political assassination as the rea-
son why the appointment of a lead
ing Mississippi Democrat is can.
celed, it Is such reputation as
may be expected to strike with
dismay the whole league of politi-
cal murderers from Virginia to
Texas, and astOnish them with a
vision of the hldeOusness OF their
Oilenses against the common in
stincts OF unbrutalized mankind.
The Presidents refusal to give a
pOstmaster's commission to J. l..
Meade, Of Hazlehurst, Miss, be.
cause Of his participation in the as.
sassinatiOn Of Il citizen Of that place
for political reasons, may not APP
pear TO Northern men an act of
conspicuous virtue, but it will be
like the explosion of a bOmbshell
in some Southern Democratic
camps. Those Southern Demo
Gratis who have resorted to murder
as legitimate political weapon, who
have on this account suffered no
loss Of standing at home, but seem
rather to have thereby especially
commended themselves to favor,
probably have not dreamed that
any Democrat anywhere would re-
gard the assassination Of Repubi- |
cans as n serious disqualification
for preferment under a Democratic
administration. The Northern Dem
ocratic press, by its too ready con.
dOnement Of Ku.klux crimes, has !
encouraged this opinion, just as its |
submission to the demands Of the |
slave power and its craven excus-
ing of Southern threats of disuniOn |
encouraged the SeccsslonistS to /

Therefore, such acts rs the re-

that the supply OF labor for farm

The oft.quoted advice, therefore, Of

absurd. Men lOave the country

is still an excess of labor there.
