tax collectors are not to be elected as
heretofore, it having been widely

least to every one which they lose. No
intelligent, unbiased Democrat who
reads the newspapers carefully will
say that this is an extravagant esti-
mate. In every Northern State thou
sands OF men who have always voted
the Democratic ticket in the past are
arraying themselves under the Repub-
lican banner. This tendency is par
ticularly active in the State which the
Democracy is seeking to make the bat
tle-ground of the campaign. Journal
lists, politicians and men representing
every department OF endeavOr in New
York who were among the most earnest
and outspoken champions of Mr..
Cleveland in 1891 are coming over to
the support of Harrison this year.
This is a fact which the Democracy
can not deny. Nor can they explain
it satisfactorily on any other theory
save that of widespread and en-
phatic protest in the party against tho
vicious and un-American policy of the
Democratic leaders. The Haskin in
cident demonstrates that even among
the older and more conspicuous Demo-
Gratis the revolt against Cleveland is
widespread and important-St. Louis

Potash for Fruit Trees.

Apple trees are constantly taking up
potash from the soil and storing a large
portion of it in the wood. and it Is for
that reason that in old orchards there
is sometimes dearth in fruitage, be-
cause OF scanty supply OF this essen.
tial fertilizer available for use. Where
trees have been standing for years
drawing from the natural supply, IL
there is no application. it is not at all
surprising that there should come a time
when the available supply is exhausted;
not only the potash, but all other min
eral plant food. This is undoubtedly
one prolific cause of the failure and de-
cay of trees in old orchards. As rule
farmers arc averse to cultivating or
chards, and at the same time seem to
fail in the realization OF the fact that
during all the years that pass exhaus-
ton is constantly going on For the
supply OF necessary food to trees there
is nothing better nor more natural than
ashes, and unless supplied a cause OF
failure may reasonably be anticipated.

they will be carried to the roots Of the
trees and become at once available.

Small Bits OF Biography.

Benjamin Harrison and Grover
Cleveland are of about the same age.
Both are of honorable parentage.
Both are lawyers. Both sought homes
and business in growing cities. So
much for the likeness between them,
and there il ends.
Harrison took bride with him to
Indianapolis. Cleveland went to Buff
falo bachelor.
Harrison built a home. Cleveland
lived in his law chambers.
Harrison taught a Sunday-school
class of young lawyers. Cleveland
he travelled another direction.
Harrison was elected reporter of the
Supreme Court of Indiana, with hon
orable and most responsible duties.
Cleveland was elected sheriff of Erie
County, an Office that also had its
duties.
The war broke out. Harrison vol
unteered; Cleveland was drafted. Har-
rison recruited a regiment and went to
the front. Cleveland recruited sub
stitute and remained in Buffalo.
Harrison has been true to every
promise he has made to man or woman,
to party or the Nation. Cleveland has
been true to himself, and kept such
promises as it was for his interest not
to break.
Such are the two candidates. How
well do they represent the parties that
support them.-BOston Traceter.

has nothing to commend him but the
prestige OF luck. A creature of luck. q

years since that money power Of this

very many of the predictions then

1t Proves That the Revolt Against CIcve-
land Is of Great Importance.
The abandonment of the Demo-
cratic party by John =. Hasilin means
something more than the detection of
one man and the gain of single vote
for the Republican party. Mr.. Haskin
was the ablest and most conspicuous
Democrat in the New York delegation
in the House OF Representatives in
the two Congresses next preceding the
opening of the war. 1t was Haskin
who led the movement in the House, in
opposition TO the attempt Of the South,
to commit the Northern Democracy to
the extension OF slavery. Then, toe,
as now, he was an ardent and outspoken
opponent of free trade, although con-
tinuing his opposition within party
lines. For years past he has bsen
one of the most prominent members
of tine Tammany section of the Demo-
cratic party. the title given him by his
admiring friends and co-workers in
that society being the Tuscarora
Chief.
Tammany, as faction, has always
favored the protective policy. This
was the case during the days of the
John Kelly regime, and there has been
no change in this particular since KEEL
ly's death. The tariff question, in fact,
has been one OF the points of differences

SUPPORTING HARRISON.
Independent Papers Of New York for tn
Republican Ticket.

Independent Papers Of New York for the
Republican Ticket.
The Rochester On. W Volksbldtt, an
able German newspaper. that sup
ported Cleveland in 1884, has come
out for Harrison and protection. 1t is
disguised at Cleveland's disregard OF
his reform pledges, in securing re-
nomination, and is too American to
stand the free-trade Mills bill. On this
point it says:
The Mills bill, representing the principles
laid down by Mr.. Cleveland, in his message on
the tariff question, signifies nothing less than
the ruin Of our Industries. a revision OF Inc
tarf, giving all the advantages to tae South,
and paralyz,ng or GRIPPING the industries of
the North. We can not possibly advocate
protection for the South and free trade for
he Norih.-this is the long and the short OF
the CIeveland-Mills so-called tariff reform.
This is by no means imagination, and We nave
no des re to frghten any body, but 1t is COM
plete reality, and therefore, the irresistible
logic OF facts compels us to oppose Mr.. Cieve-
laGd to the last.
In this position the Iolssblatt,
doubtless, represents a large proper
ton OF the reading, thinking German
American population. Its desertioD
is only another evidence of the unmis-
taxable drift of things in New York.
The campaign has hardly begun, yet
enough New York Democrats to ex-
tinguish Cleveland's puny majority in
1884 several times over, have already
announced themselves for Harrison and
protection. Four OF the most influen-
tial, independent papers in the State,
outside of New York City. all OF which
supported Cleveland in 1884, are now
vigorously opposing his reelection.
They are the Buffalo News, the SYRIA
cuse Herald, the Utica Press and the
Rochester Volksblatt. The New York
Independent, an able independent re-
ligious journal that supported St
John in 1884, is now for Harrison and
Morton. Besides these, the independ-
ent Democratic Rochester Post-ETprcss
and the Democratic Albany Times are
mercilessly stabbing Cleveland in the
back, although nOminally supporting
him. The effect of such a change as

be mistaken. The influence of the
seven papers named will at q reason
able estimate mean loss Of ten thou
sand votes to the Democratic Presi-
Dental ticket. What is more serious,
the Democracy is receiving no Access
sions that can counterfeit this loss. As
yet no journal of any importance in
New York State that supported Blaine
in 1884 is out for Cleveland this year.
The change is all the other way. Not
even the most inscriptions use OF
spoils. and an unblushing application
of Doodle in the slums OF New York
City and Brooklyn can carry New
York for Cleveland. and such work as
that will make his reform record"
look even more ridiculous than it does
