A WARNING.
An Executive Order Against I'm.

An Executive Order Against I'm
proper Political Work.
Tn, following Executive Order has been
issued by the President:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, July IA, 1856.
To the Heads of Dep partments in the Service
of the General Government:
/ Idecm this a proper time to especially warn
all subordina,es N the several departments
and all Office holders under the General
Government against the use. OF their otti-
cial positions in attempts to control poll
tical movements in their localities. Office
holders are the agents of the people, not
their masters Not only is their time
and labor due to the Government, but they
should scrupulously avoid, in their political
action, as we'll as in the discharge of their
official duty, offending by display OF OBJ
trusive partlsanshlp thelr % neignoots onI WHO
have relations with them as public ofnclals
They should also constantly remember
that their party friends, from whom they
have received preferment, have not invested
them with the power of arbitrarily manag-
ine their political affairs. They have no
right, as Office holders, to dictate the pollti-
cal action of their party associates or to
throttle freedom of action within party
lines by methods and practices which per-
of party organization. The influence of
Federal office holders should not be felt In
the manipulation of political primary meet
ings and nominating conventions. The use
by these officials of their positions to compass
their selection as delegates to political con,
ventions is indecent and unfair, and
proper regard for the proprieties and
requirements of official place will
also prevent their assuming the active
conduct of political campaigns Indi-
vidual interest and activity in political at-
fairs are by no means condemned. Office
holders are neither disfranchised nor forbid
den the exercise of political privileges, but
their privileges are not enlarged nor
is their duty to the party increased
to pernicious activity by ofice-hold-
ING. A Just discrimination in this re-
gard between the things citizen may prop
erly do and the purposes for which public
office should not be used is easy, in the light
of a correct appreciation of the rela-
ton between the people and those
entrusted with official place, and a
consideration of the necessity under our
form of Government of political action free
from official coercion. You are requested to
communicate the substance of these views to
those for whose guidance they are intended.

For q long time we steadily refused to pub
lish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
wore manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means Of disposing Of their worth

That this view Of the case Is to certain ex-
tent true, there can be no doubt
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every Intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona fde testimonials, and determined to use
as advertisements a few of the many hun.
dreds of unsolicited certificates In our posses
sion.
In doing this, we published them as nearly a
possible in tho exact language used by our cor.
respondents, only changing the phraseology, In
some cases, SO as to compress them into
smaller space than they would otherwise

Treatment OF Young colts.

Colts should be kept growing from
early age. When weaned at five or six
months old the milk of a good Ayrshire
COW for six months longer would give
colt veTv good start. Besides this he
should have few quarts OF oats daily.

tclover, timothy or7redtop), with an oc-
cssional feed of good straw. There
should be rock salt accessible at all
times. and good running or spring wa
ter. with an occasional feed OF carrots
This treatment. with good warm quar-
ters and plenty Of room for exercise,
without being too much exposed to the
rigors of northern winter, would give
the breeder a yeaTling of which, proyid-
ing his breeding was all right. he need
not be ashamed, an animal worth
much more than the average two-year-
old, being both larger and finer. Oats
are most excellent food for colts, as
/ they give muscle, size and style. An
| occasional feed OF carrots in winter is
/ almost essential to the animals health.
/ As a substitute for carrots boiled flax
seed is excellent in lack of either, an
occasional bran mash is almost indis-
pensable, as the bowels require to be
kept gently open. When the mare IS
worked or driven while sucking the
colt, great care should be taken to pre-
vent the colt from sucking while the
mare is over warm from exertion. The
mare may be used, but should always be
allowed to cool of fully before the colt
is permitted to suck. The colt should
be handled at very early age, and
taught while quite young that man is
its master but at the same time its
friend. The young colt that is taught
70 like and not to fear its master, and Is
we'll halterbroken, is much easier han
died and cared for than one that is not.
He should be taught to stand hitched
by the halter, either III or out OF the
stable, when quite young.

Fortunes In Printers Ink.

Don't expect an advertisement to

You can't eat enough IN q week to

The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity

People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
cannot remember anything longer than
about seven days.

tisement for the experience of moss
enterprising merchants is that it pays
better to spend less in rent and more in

Enterprising people are beginning tC

the public, will surely place them or
the right side in the end.
A mans sign offers a mute invitation
to those only who pass his place of bust
ness; his circular can only reach those
to whom personal attention is given
but his announcement in a newspaper
goes into the highways and byways
finding customers and compelling then
to consider his arguments.
