What Is "Personal Warfare, I!

The following, from the Philadelphia
Times, is fair specimen of the drift of So
called Independent discussion of the pend
ing campaign for state treasurer
If the Democrats shall get earnestly in line
modate him with the liveliest sort of a con-
test They have plenty OF nasty campaign lit
erature, such as was flung into the campaign
against Blaine and Cleveland; but the pub
with party scandals as in the late national
contest, and there will be little inclination to
welcome personal warfare against Quay.
We do not know that the Democrats
have or could procure, or would use any
such nasty campaign literature, against
Quay as was 6 flung into the late CAM
paign against Blaine and Cleveland )" nor
that anybody is disposed to wage s. per-
sonal warfare against Quay" His home
and private affairs are not likely to be in
vaded, nor his personal relations assailed,
whatever they may be.
But il the Times means to stigmatize as
I" personal warfare" and to announce that
p" the public mind I" will not tolerate, a
complete and searching inquiry into Mr..
Quay's relations with public affairs during
the last twenty years, We think the Times
is mistaken, that it does injustice TO the
public mind and counts too largely on the
cowardice of the Democratic press and
party.
The discussion of Mr.. Quay s part in con-
trolling state legislation, his motives in
having bills passed, his interest in having
other legislation defeated, his connection
with the riot damage bill bribery
of the legislature and with the pardon of
the convicts, his responsibility for the crea-
tion of a useless, expensive and burden
some Office in Philadelphia, designed for
his own advantage, and his alleged associa-
tion with q grave treasury scandal-all of
these are public matters, very proper sub
jects for public discussion, and directly
bearing upon his fitness for the office TO
which he has been nominated.
Does the Times mean that discussion
of these things will he construed as " per
sonal warfare" and that the public
mind y is in such condition that 1t shrinks

On the subject of dietary regulations Sir
Henry Thomson is high authority. lie has
recently written in condemnation of the
habit of drinking chocolate, thick cocoa, or
even milk along with solid food. "Most
persons might naturally be aware that the
primary object of drink il to satisfy thirst,
which means a craving for the supply OF
water Ia the tissueS-the only fluid they de-
mand and utilize when the sensation in
question is felt Water is a solvent Of solids,
and is more powerful TO this end when en-
ployed free from admixture with any other
solid material IT may be favored, as in tea
and otherwise, without impairing its solvent
power" Further than this the great Lon
don physician will not so, and he declares
that the water used in chocolate and the
like loses its capacity for dissolving and its
best quality is thus lost. The dyspeptic ma y
find some food for reflection in these sug-
gestions.

EARLY FEEDING.
No Economy In Turning Stock upon Pas

No Economy in Turning Stock upon Pas
lures Until the Grass Be Well Grown.
There is no economy in turning
stock, especially cattle and horses,
upon pasture until the grass is up so as
to afford full bite. When the blades
first spring up they induce root action
that is. the annual roots are called
INTO growth and thus furnish strong
growth in the tops. If fed close early
in the spring this root growth is
checked, and hence the burlen of
grass is lessened. the pOaching OF soil
kills or checks growth also. and this.
together with the gnawing of stock
down into the grass roots, where per-
sisted in, may lessen the crop fully
one-half For horses grass should
have made growth of not less than
Two inches, and for cattle four inches

their stock from pasture until the grass

The annual outcome, do so, neverthe-
less, at loss to their herds. Cattle,
sheep and horses are subject to bloat
from too greedy feeding, and also to
securing from a too sudden change
from dry to green food. Cattle should
be turned upon grass when it is of SUCH
height that they can comfortably fill
themselves in half q days grazing, and
the same rule will apply to sheep. OF
course, the soil being firm. sheep will
lind good picking where cattle would
starve. Horses bite much closer than
cattle and fully as closely rs sheep.
Their stomachs are small compared to
those of cattle and digestion is con-
;inuous. They may be turned on a
firm pasture, when they can satisfy
themselves by pretty industrious graz
ing during the day.
As rule, farmers are anxious to get
their stock upon grass as early in the
spring as possible, and stock are rs
eager for the grass as their masters are
anxious to iniermit the foddering.
Every person must draw the line for
himself and decide according to the
circumstances governing his particular
,ase. The practical working, however,
will be found as We have stated, unless
in exceptional cases, such as scarcity
of fodder or such an abundance OF
pasture that the stock can not consume
it as fast as it grows. The remedy
here is to increase the Chicago

had been prosperous and great. He
lifted his lead and said in a voice OF
quiet decision that left no doubt Of sin
