sB The report of the Statlstician of the
Department of Agriculture for the current
year month has a chapter on the way in viii ch
the farmers are defrauded with Bohemian
oats. u says: ''As the name Bohemian
is becoming somewhat notorious, we begin to
hear of Russian and Australian oats. and 9th
er varieties--or the old variety and other
names-may be expected to appear. Cases
are also reported from number Of localities
in Ohio, Indiana and other states in which
'hulless barley" and pretended new varieties
of wheat, bearing such fancy names as Gold
Dust Seneca Chief Red Line ETC., are
being offered for sale at high prices-the
wheat as high as SIS per bushel-and upon
the same plan as has been followed with Bo-
hemian oats. It is not necessary to know
anything of The quality of the grain offered
on that plan to understand that these schemes
are fraudulent, because plan which pre-.
supposes that the crop can be sold year after
year at the same price as the seed, when the
latter is twenty or Thirty times the ordinar,
price of the grain, manifests palpable lacl
of common sense"

Preamble and Declarations of Prin
ciples of the Knights Of Labor
of America.

The alarming development and aggressive
ness of great capitalists and corporations,
unless checked, will inevitably lead to the
'pauperization and hopeless degradation OF
the toiling masses.
1t is imperative, if we desire to enjoy the
full blessings of life, that check be placed
upon unjust accumulation, and the power for
evil of aggregated wealth.
This much desired object can be accom-
plished only by the united efforts OF those
who obey the devine injunction, "In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
Therefore we have formed the Order of the
Knights of Labor, for the purpose of organ
izing and directing the power of the indus
trial masses, not as political party, for it is
more-in it are crystalized sentiments and
measures for the benefit of the whole people,
but it should be borne in mind, when exer-
cising the right of suffrage, that most of the
objects herein set forth can only be obtained
through legislation, and that is the duty of
all to assist in nominating and supporting
with their votes only such candidates as Will
pledge their support to these measures, re-
gardless of party. But he shall however be
compelled to vote with the majority, and call
ing upon all who believe in securing ''ths
greatest good to the greatest number" to
join and assist us, we declare to the world
that our aims are: 4
I. To make industrial and moral worth,
not wealth, the true standard of individual
and National greatness.
II. To secure to the workers the full enjoy
ment of the wealth they create, sufficient leis-
ure in which to develop their intellectual,
moral and social faulties; all of the benefits,
recreation and pleasures of associations; in
word to enable them to share in the gains
and honors of advancing civilization.
In order to secure these results, we de-
mand at the hands of the State: e
III. The establishment Of Bureaus of La
Dor Statistics, that we may arrive att correct
knowledge of the educational, moral and f.
nancial condition of the laboring masses.
~. That the public lands, the heritage Of
the people, be reserved for actual settlers;
not another acre for railroads or spectators
and that all lands now held for specula-
tive purposes be taxed to their full value.
V. The abrogation of all laws that do not
bear equally upon capital and labor, and the
removal of unjust technicalities, delays and
| determinations in the administration of JUS
tice.
vi. The adoption of measures providing
| for the health and safety of those engaged in
mining, manufacturing and building indus
tries, and for indemnifcation to those en-
gagged therein for injuries received through
lack of necessary safeguards.
VII. The recognition, by incorporation,
Of trades unions, orders and such other u.s.

Our Ticket.

The votes of the Primary Election were
canyassed last Saturday, resulting in the Sc
lection of the ticket as we announced 1t last
week. The ticket is strong one, and all the
candidates were nominated by decisive ma
jorities, that of Infrmary Director only be,
ing close.
Our candidate for Sheriff, Elbert I. Barnes,
is known the county over, having been born
and raised in our midst. He is staunch
Democrat, honest and upright. His require
ments for the position are fist class, and like
his father before him, who satisfactorily
filled the Office some years ago. Mr.. Barnes
will merit the hearty commentator for the
efficiency with which he will discharge his
duties. Bis selection was made by MAORI
ty over his opponents, two well known citi-
zens of the county, which is proof sut tcient
of his unbounded popularity and efficiency
for the place.
WIN. N. Zierolf, nominee for County Com
missioner, is one of the most prominent and
successful farmers in the southern part OF
the county. He has been resident of this
county, for nearly quarter of century, and
is known as a man of good Judgment and
possessed of fair business qualifications, two
necessary requirements for the position he
seeks. He will be elected by a large major
ity.
Thos. W. Durbin had no opposition for
re-nomiation as County Recorder, which is
sufficient guarantee of his ability 70 serve in
the capacity for which he has been selected.
He has been signslly successful in filing bis
his first term, and has maze one of the best
Recorders the county has ever had. He re-
ceived an even twenty EIGHT hundred votes at
the election, which is ample proof that the
party and the people are satisfied with his
official duties. ,3@h,
The nominee for County Surveyor, Chas.
N. Schwab, is at present deputy Auditor un-
der Mr.. Evers, in which capacity he has won
the esteem of all coming in contact with him.
He is young man Of most excellent habits,
good Democrat, with qualifications ample to
make good County Surveyor. -s.ty
Peter Schall, candidate for Infrmry Di-
rector, is a son of old uncle Henry Schall, ,one
of the fathers of Democracy of Pleasant
township For the nomination he received
every vote in his precinct except one, which
clearly shows his popularity at home, and
which is recommendation enough for the
balance of the county.

NAPOLEON, April 12, 1886.

NAPOLEON, April 12, 1886.
Ed. NoRTHwEsT:-Having seen an article
in yourlast issue, signed "Bee- keeper" re-
fering to foul brood in his neighborhood,
have not the least doubt but that it was writ
ten with the best of motives. But does not
"Bee-keeper" think he pictured it in rather
strong light? While his article may prove
valuable as warning, will it not prove in
furious to those engaged in the industry who
have never had, nor have now, any indica
tions of foul brood. We are well aware of
the nature of this dreadful disease by hearing
the experience of others related. However
we would not advise people having bees to
set fire 10 their apairies, or to sit quietly
down and let it run its course. Rather let
us listen to the experience of our American
bee-keepers who have spent the better part
of their lives in agriculture. We might per-
hans start with the cause of foul brood, by
Prof. T. j. Burrill, but it would occupy too
much space, SO we will pass on to the cure
for foul brood, by G. M. Doolittle, also to
Quinby's Bee-keeping, and many others
which have not time to refer to. G. M.
OOOl1ttle says: ndu eloNoh coAon'oo 80
the spring of 1878, thoroughly inoculated
with the disease. found if the disease had
not advanced too far, the colonies would
swarm, and if such swarms were hived in
empty hives no disease would follow them,
as the honey taken with the bees would be
used up in comb-building before any larvae
can be Matched in the new combs; SO hived
all the new swarms from these colonies in
empty, clean hives, and in twenty -one days l
drove out all the old bees from the old hives
and hived them the same as the new swarms.
The honey was strained and boiled, the comb
rendered into wax and the hives burned" In
| this way he saved every colony; and he is not
the only one who has saved them in this way.

Here is another: "This time it comes in
the form of travelling montebank, claiming
the power to cure weak and diseased eyes,
ears and head. This cure is effected by a
certain kind of spectacles which, he claims,
with his own electric attachment, when
placed upon the head gently operates on the
nerves, producing cure like charm. Now
the catch penny is this. He charges $40 for
the glasses, and in order to show some de-
gree of fairness only demands $5 in cash,
the balance to be paid when cure is effect
ed. The spectacles are not worth fifty cents,
so that if he succeeds in selling a pair at
S. he is $3.50 ahead. We sound the
alarm bell and hope our country friends will
keep lookout for the spectacle swindler.'

~ On Friday last a serious riot occurred
at East st. Louis, in which six innocent per-
sons were shot tand killed, one of them being
a woman. The shooting was done by deputy
sherifrs, who were guarding the bridge and
railroad property. The Governor of Illinois,
by request of the Sheriff for help, sent
MALTA to the place of disturbance, since
which time all has become quiet and the men
in Fast st. Louis have gone to work again.
It is about time these labor troubles should
cease, by arbit. alton or otherwise fair means.

And this is not the only way in which they
may be saved, but we have not time or space
to give the others. So we will conclude by
saying to bee-keepers: While we would re-
commend caution and careful inspection of
all colonies by every person having bees, 10
detect the least taint of foul brood and
strict environment of all infected districts,
we must be careful not to destroy the apai-
culture of the country and thus bring disas-
ter to those who raise bees for pleasure and
profit. Busy BEE.
