Fair Play for nTr. Harrison,

The Republican party outside of Indiana
Is already beginning to tickle its fancy with
the idea that the election Of Mr. Harrison
next fall would be equivalent to placing Mr..
Blaine in the coveted seat OF power. The
busy Cabinct-nalScrs are at work, and they
invariably bestow on him the Office Of Sec
rotary Of State Mr.. AHllil1cn. Of Maine,
who represents Mr. Blaine's old district in
Congress, assures the waiting Nation that
Mr.. Blaine win canvass New York for the
Republican nominees, and that in the event
Of their election nc win take the highest
position IN Mr. Harrison's Cabinet
The record nude by Mr.. Blaine when See
rotary OF State under Garfield leaves little
room rdoubt that he would 90 into Mr..
Harrison's Cabinet, il at all, with the inten-
ton Of ruling 10 and the President. More
over, that Is exactly what very many Re-
publicans would expect and desire him to
do They would look to him for rewards,
and would do his bidding in all things rath-
er than that of his Official superior.
NO man can adord- says The Chicago Nclrs,

self, unless nc knows that the servant is de-
voted 90 his interests and stands ready 10
follow out his instructions faithfully and
loyalty Tho Republican party can not afford

agent employed for the sole purpose Of
bringing Mr. Blaine back TO power: This
shameless talk by Republicans OF max
ing Mr.. Blaine the ruling spirit Of the
Harrison Administration II there should

get it fixed In their minds that Mr. Harrison.

only man or straw, VINO really stands for
Mr. Blaine they will have no hesitation in
heading on the Republican procession before
Il gets within hailiug distance Of the White
House.
II an open Blaine Administration is not

EVERY farmer who has fifty acres needs
n man TO help on the farm, while farmers
with more acres need more than one man.
tiscd for sale is because Of tho scarcity Of
help, and this is growing worse year by
year, while the cities arc overcrowdcd with
men looking for employment al any wages.
By rough. wicked hired men many a
farmers 10y has been taught 20 use tobac-
co, 20 swear and drink. and started on the
downward road to destruction. IN all right
minded farmers would make morality a
requisite in hired men-as leading railroad
companies insist on sobriety IN their en-
ployes-mauy agricultural helpers to whom
The above objections apply would mend their
ways, as a matter Of policy.
THERE are IA America over 100000
farms, large and small Tley cover nearly
20,oOo,000 acres Of improved land, aEd their
total value Is something like $l0,0O0, o0oo oC
These hguros are not, of course. very COM
prehcusive. They simply convey the idea
Of vastness OF area and equal yastness Of
importance. The estimated value Of the
yearly products OF these farms Is between
500, 100000 and S9,OOo,0oo,00o.
