MANY farmers who keep native stock
and a few thoroughbreds, have the
habit of giving their best feed to the
latter, allowing their ''scrubs'' to put
up with any kind Of food and accom-
modation-shifting for themselves, as
the saying is. Barring the fact that 1t
Is Improbable to feed any animals
scrubs" or pure breds, which do not
come up to a certain standard of pro-
duction, 1t should be remembered that
II these conditions were reversed for a
few generations, the natives would
vastly surpass most Of the existing
thoroughbreds for the dairy, while the
latter would degenerate to be worse
than the Scrubs" The shortest and
cheapest way to attain the best results
Is to improve the natives. They have
the right foundation for our climate
and condition.

An Organ in Distress.

Readers of our neighbor, the Post, must
have been little startled yesterday morn
ing when they observed the editorial headed
Conformation for the IuuOccnt.n In this
there was an air of candor that bctokencd
much more than candor, and that would do
violence to any impression that the Post is
being consumed with admiration for Mr.
Cleveland. 1t begins by saying that "Mr.
Cleveland Is candidate for the renomina.
tion-Ou earnest, eager, anxious candidate,
AIMED and equipped at all points, and
possessed Of all the advantages Of great
number Of friends andapowcrful machluc.'
We are not surprised to hear that Mr.
Cleveland is candidate for denomination
hut We are really shocked to hear from 50
dutiful u Journal a. the Post has hereto
fore been toward the President that he Is
an earnest, eager, anxious candidate" and
that lie Is being worked up by "a powerful
machine We are told further on that this
powerful machine is working II,
smoothly and effectively us Corliss en-.
ginc," and that delegates are pouring out
Of the hopper at all hours Of the day and
night"
The Post is the first Democratic paper that
has acknowledged for long time that there
Is such a thing as "machne' in the Dem.
Ocrntic party, and il is really uukind of 1t
now, since il has actually found one, to say
that it is being operated IN behalf of the
champion Of civil service and tariff 'rc-
FORM The sole reason assigned for this
sudden and unexpected outbreak is that it
being the truth, why not proclaim itE''
But why is the Post SO ready to tell "thc
truth about itY What has happened?
This dropping back toward the rear, as it
were, just at the moment when Mr., Clevo
land is about to receive his second nomina-
tiun indicates some distress Of mind that cX,
cites our profound compassion. We shall
now expect to see the Post congratulate the

Public Printer Benedict testified before
the investigation committee that his perfect
system Of keeping the accounts of his Office
would enable him to close up every ac-
count, pay off every claim and employe,
and turn into the treasury the mcNpendcd

giant Boosting knew its true value.
As as evidence Of the utter incompctcncy
and incapaclty of this public officer it is only
necessary to cite the fact that the law max
ing the appropriation for the payment to
the discharged employees the amount due for
leaves of absence was signed Ivy the Prcsi-
dent over six weeks ago and yet but very
small number have received the amounts
due them. The decision of the comptroller
allowing these accounts was rendered nearly
or quite year ago, and the public printer
has had months in which to prepare the
vouchers. 1t was confidently expected that
the so loudly proclaimed business methods
inaugurated by Mr.. Benedict would en-.
able every beneficiary under the bill
10 receive lHc amount uuc MN
promptly and without any llnncccs-
sary delay. But such has not been the
result 4 comparatively few have received
their checks, while many who signed and
returned theirvouchers to the printing office
two weeks ago are still waiting FOR their
money. When the fact is borne in mind
that many Of these eY-empIOyes are aud
have been for many months out Of work,
the hardships cntailed by Mr. Benedict
dereliction in this matter can be the better
appreciated.

rior character which hc ON all occasions and
to all comers so ostcntatiOusly bOasts--if, in
fact, lie was anything but an incompetent
public olllcer-thesc accounts would have

on it will appear that he did not estimate
for sufficient funds 10 pay these claims by
$1,000 or $4,000, and through this gross
piece Of neglect, or worse, hundreds of
worthy men will be compelled TO wait for
several months longer before they can re.
