ages did error win more than momentary tri-
umph or truth suffer single lasting defeat Let
US have surcease. too, from this silly babblement
about New South
1t is still trueto its old convictions. Nobody
but mailman dreames of renewing the late con-
test. Nobody but q simpleton expects to see the
South stuitify itself prove recreant to its i'm
memorial traditions. Nor is it less idle to say
that this welcome to Davis and this honor to
Hill will yet more estrange the lately beligerent
sectionss We venture 20 say there is not a true
man beyond Mason and Dixon's line who does
not honor the South because 1t cherishes in its
heart of hearts the name and fame of Davis, and
because it chisels in imperishable marble the
form and features of Hill. Nor would they fail
to despise US If we were not outspoken in our
admiration for these representative men.

The Local-op,lon movement.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, May 4-The submission of prohi-
bition amendment and general local option, and
the securing Legislature, through the domi-
nant parties, that will do these two things, was
pfOrcibly, clearly and concisey presented at this
place on Saturday evening and Sunday after
noon by the Hon. E. B. Reynolds of Wayne
pounty, president of the Prohibition Amend
ment and Local Option Association of the State
Mr.. Reynolds presents his theme in such a man
ner as not to be offensive to any one, and yet to
convince the great majority who hear him, that
Ehe policy of local option is the correct policy,
and, under the circumstances, the best attain
lble. Local option strikes a responsive chord in
he hearts of the people here.

Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die. y

These men we can respect, since they have
come out of the war, and have been cured of
that deiusion that our Union is at the caprice of
any one of the States out of which tits formed
they have become among our best citizens.
They did this only then as they saw it; they are
doing 1t now in the same spirit. l would not
taunt them with the mistake they made They
have sufessd much for it already. But the
folly of dei7sing the men who led them into this
terrible blunder Ito call it by no harsher terml
is something that they cannot commit and avoid
comment upon their course. 1t is to be hoped
that these displays do not represent the deeper
Southern feeling. They are the revival of the
sentimentalism resulting from ancient comrade-
ship, it may be- rather than anything else The
South is prone to sentiment If there had been
less of sentiment and more of reason In tina sec
ton it would have been less easy prey to the
politicians who led it into rebellion. 1 have
been struck by the tendencies with which the
part Of the women in the rebellion is always re-
ferred to. Women are the least reasoning class
in community They act upon impulse and on
sentiment, and, SO acting, they in this case were
the most unreasoning and vindictive toward the
government of all the States We may get a
hint as to how woman suffrage would operate
from this lesson and learn from it how much
more effective women may be in getting ma
ton into war than in bearing part in it after
the war is entered on.

devoted with its best energy and ability to the advo
cacy of the principles of the Republican party. TIKI
JOURNAL believes there is still pressing demand for
real, honest, upright Republieansm and to answer
that, so far as it may be able. is it's
desire and purpose. THE JOURNALS columns
will be edited with earnestness and SINGER
ty. but with due and proper regard to candid
differences of opinion, and with full appreciation Of
the privileges of personal Judgment and the rights of
private character. In its political conduct The
JOURNAL win never be the organ of any nor tbs
subservent tool of any faction In local affairs it will
continue to assert independence of dctation in the
sumed name of party subordinatng at all times what
may to be temporary partisan advantages to the
good of the whole community and thereby the real,
permanent benefit of the Republican organization.
Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty
compensation, but political charlatansm will be
bulked. The JOURNAL offers its past record in sup
port of its claims for the continued confidence of the
public. In view of the pending political struggle in
the State we believe better agency for Republican
be found than to increase the circulation
of THE JOURNAL, both it's daily and weekly issues
among the people. We call the attention of political
committees in the various counties and districts to
this suggestion.

One of the Secrets.

One of the secrets of success in rear
ing chickens is dry feed. No better
system can be followed than to feed
the newly-hatched chicks for the first
few days of their existence on boiled
eggs, chopped fine, and bread crumbs.
Feed very little indeed. They will
thrive better on little than they will
on much. After the first few days
cracked corn and wheat can be given,
with an occasional meal of dry, steam
cooked oatmeal, such as is used for
family cooking. Into the cracked corn
mix once or twice week small guam
tity of ground beef scraps. Allow the
chicks to pick grass, oats, or some other
growing green food for themselves.
Give them free allowance of fine
cracked bone. Provide plenty of fresh
water for them at all times. BY follow
ing this regime whole broods are raised
without the loss of a single chick. OF
course the chicks must be kept clean,
free from vermin, and out of the wet
grass when small, whatever system of
feeding is adopted.-Home Farm.

CultivatOr Science.

This is really new species, the pc
culiar science" of our Boston con-
temporary. In recent issue, under
its regular Science " heading, it tells
us that "two comets, Fabry's and
Barnard's, are likely to be easily visi-
BILE to the naked eye about the begin
ming of May, both, too, in position
where they will be above the horizon
all night" This was actually published
May %, when simply looking at the
sky at night would have revealed the
fact that neither of these comets became
visible as predicted. In the editorial
columns of the same issue was the fol-
lowing information, which would GER
tainly be important, if true: AT this
season farmers in the north have the
advantage of longer days and more sun
shine than those farther south. Not
only this, but the sun in the course of
the day gets around on every side,
which it does not do at the equator,
WHClC Oil tuC yCdl IlC Suu Iloco ulIcClly
in the east and passes directly overhead
every day in the year." OF course
school children know that neither at
the equator, or anywhere within the
tropics, is the sun directly overhead"
except twice year. And to continue
the inaccuracies, still in the same issue,
Ben: Perley Poore tells us that "until
Daguerre made his discovery, the
wealthy had their miniatures painted
on ivory, but the cheaper portraiture
invented by Silhoutte was very COM
mon" "Invented by Silhouette" is
very good. The monochrome shadow
outline profiles calledSilhouettes became
fashionable about the middle of the last
century, and as they were very cheap,
they, in common with other slop-work
were said to be ga Ia Silhouette" in
ridicule of the cheese-paring economy
of Etienne de Silhouette, then the French
finance minister To credit Silhouette
with their invention is, therefore, rather
rough, Brother Ben.
