The ticket and platform of the
Prohibition party are before the
people, and an earnest campaign in
support of them will doubtless soon
be Begun. There is nothing to be
said against the, ticket, and not
much for it. Gen. Clinton B Fisk,

second to none in the advocacy of
the cause of temperance. He WAS
one OF the delegates to the General
Conference of the Methodist
church, which was in session in
New York during last month, and
made himself very popular with the
delegates by the satisfactory way
in which he lanked after their COM
fort He was earnestly requested
by his prohibition friends to go to
indianapolis and assist the Prohi-
bitirn convention to make a ticket
aud frame platform; but, know
ing that the chances we're that he
would be the conventions nominee
for President, he thought il would
be wise for him to remain in New
York and court the good will of the
members of the conference.
Very little appears to be known
about Mr.. John A Brooks, the
candidate for Vice President, out
side of Kansas, the state in which
he resides. 1t is said, however,
that he is man of fair ability and
has made an excellent reputation
as Prohibitionist. 1t is expected
that he will render his party
valuable assistance during the
campaign.

Farmers. Don't be at the Mercy of
Organized Power.

History teaches, and experiences
has repeatedly demonstrated, that
the class best organized axes the
greatest advancement and becomes
the victor in the contest. Shall!
the American farmers remain UNI
organized and become conquered
BY all Others? Why are they not
organized among themselves tor
mutual advantage? There is powS
er in organization, and .inasmuch
as,other classes are thoroughly orr
ganized to advance their own inter.
ests by corporation together, is
it not the height Of folly for far
mers to suppose for a moment that
they can sustain themselves single:

ton ? They are simply at the mer>

yield obedience to the dictationg
and demands of those who are or
gained, and pay the exacted triba
ute, just or unjust, as it may be
without the recourse.

Laura F Hinsdale in the last
issue of Gody's LadyNs Book. says
of Miss Winnie Davis:
Notwithstanding the many
guests who visit her lovely home;
saiss Davis finds leisure for paint
ing, music and study, and the &C.

literary sketch, as "Robert Ems

and graces. Her sympathy with
the efforts of the struggling women
was illustrated last year. An am
ateur from the northwest, who was
giving evolutionary lessons of pops
ular selections, called at Beauvoir
and sent in her advertising bill of
the ladies. The young girl wished
to read at au adjoining town four
miles distant, her object heing the
support of her aged parents.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Miss
Davis drove through the wild pine
forest by the aid of guide, who
rode in front with lantern. The
ladies remained through the long
entertainment in the dreary little
hall, secured thereby full house
for the northwestern girl, so brave
ly endeavoring to make her way,
hut who possibly did not surmise
the high order of unselfshness
manifested in her behalf by these
courteous, cultivated ladies.

METEOROLOGICAL FORECASTS
FOR JUNE.
BY PROF. 1RL R. HICKS.
Word & Works. ]

As is shown in our calendar and
forecasts tor May, june will open
with storm period we'll advanced.
1t there is regular, normal devel-
opment and progress of the period,
the storms will have reached the
Atlantic ard the Gulf of St. Lava
renee BY the first or second. Cool
ives Their viii follow Ia the track of
the storms clean across the conti~
ne"t. Our readers will please keep
In mind the fact that Venus dis.
turhance is in full force until past
the mi Idle of June. Sudden al d
violent extremes of temperature
are tn be expected. Please study
carefully the electrical and cloud
phenomena as described under the
head of Venus in our Planetary
Storm Prophet, during June
storms.
June the 9th is the center of a
regular Vulcan storm period, the
period running from about the 9th
to the 18th. Mercury passes its
equinox on the 9Th, and will bring
all its torce into this regular Vul
can period. From about the 9th
to the 18th inclusive, look for the
crisis, And remembering that
Venus is present-summer 81 Istice
is present-Jupiter is present the
equinox Of Mars from July 7th Is
present, we may, in all reason, pre-.
pare for marked disturbances.
Keep close and critical watch.
On June the DIST we have another
Vulcan center, the regular period
reaching from about the 18th to the
% b. This period will tide our
globe about over the summer SOL
stice, and the character IF the phe
nomena al that time will indicate,
to a great degree, the ch racter of
the phenomena for the remainder

ear hquake indications for all the
June periods, aui especially dur

We believe that thorough prep
arations for enormous rainfalls in
all the month will be rewarded /;
we should certainly gake whatever

cable in that direction.
During the approach of storms,
indicated by gathering clouds and
advancing thunder, every few min

Farmers Clubs.

The neighhorhoods where far
mers' clubs flourish are characters
lied by better farming, as well as a
more friendly and social spirit
among the people. No one man
does or can know everything about
farming any more than about other
things. Each member contributes
his ideas, and the stock of inf.rma..
tion about the hest farm methods
is largely increased. Even those
who hold aloOt are brought in,
however unwillingly. Keen OBJ
servers note the Improvement they
are secretly making, or if their
farming shows none Of these they
point to it as a horrible example,
and as a warning of the bad effects
of neither learning themselves, nor
imparting their information to oth>
ers. Some farmers, who have en-
joyed the benefits of the Club for
many years, av they would not
live in neighhorhood or town
where no Farmers Club exists.
The Memorial dav exercises in
