NHw HAvRN, Oct. 9 The Republicans
OF Connecticut are very jubilant over the
result Of the Monday town electlous.
Rainy weather prevented tie POLLING of a
full vote Despite It, however, tie Re.
publicans made handsome gains almost
everywhere. Where they did not redeem
to = n from the Democrats they materi-
ally reduced the Democratic strength.
This was esq ecially true OF New Haven
county, where the Democrats are strong.
The Democrats carried Meriden by only
IS majority against majority of $50 q
year ago. The result was due to an i'm.
portant change of the votes of Iii;h-
Americans on account Of the tariff issue
AT Walllngford the Democratic majority
was pulled down from rs to so The Re,
publlcsns prevailed at Hsmpden despite
the split ticket in the field, and wrested
one Of the town offices at Milford from
their opponents. Norwich was redeemed,
the dc eat of the Republican candida e
fer clerk being the only bad break New
London Republicans elected their mayor
and the most OF their ticket South Nor
walk elected Republican mayor and six
counoilmen In place Of Democratic
mayor and five Democratic councilmen.
There were decided gains in Waterbury,
and In Litchheld County marked weak
enlng Of the Democrats
This is true also in Hartford, Middle
sex and other countlGs Purely local is-
sues usually account for many changes,
go that the general importance Of the
town elections is not regarded as great.
The canvass this year, however, was ain.
gulaily free from such ques ions and the
change is due TO the quest ons involved in
the national campaign Thus these 0c-
tober results are held as poin ers for No
vember. Protection for American in :
dustrIes was the Republican campaign
cry IN these local elections and the voters
have responded to it in fashion that is
an unmistakable rebuke to Cleveland and
the Democratic Free traders, and that
promises a Harrison majority of at least
5000 In the state next month,

The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1888-11-10

an men vice. lays 1t on the marble
with his "tlp,~ then ''cottoE3" 1t on.
after which he rubs it down with fine
hair brush in order to- smooth the laps
and form an even and continuous sur
face. He then cleans off the edges
with cuttle-fish. Great dextcrity is &C.
quired by gilders, and they seem to
handle with the greatest ease the deli
cate gold leaf which the slightest
breath of air is sufficient to carry off,
and which in inexperienced hands is
utterly unmanagcable.
The varicgatcd, dark-colorcd marbles
are most expensive, but they are also
generally harder and more durable, q
well rs more beautiful, than those thN
are white or light-colored. The corr
mon white marble, which is not Is
valuable from an ornamental point of
view, has n separate value rs being the
best basis for the production of car
boic acid gas for the manufacture of
soda" water and all other carbonate
beverages, and q large trade is done in
it for this purpose. 1t has succeeded
whiting and bicarbonatc of soda in
this respect on account of its cheap
ness. 4 barrel of good marble dust,
weighing about four hundred pounds,
costs about $l.25. An equal quantity
of whiting costs about 81. 80, and pro-
duces no more gas. A like weight of
bicarbonate of soda produces double
amount of gas, but costs about 81.
AS far rs chemical composition Is
concerned, marble and whiting are
analogous both are carbonates of
lime, and when equally pure both con-
tain the same amount of carbonic acid.
Whiting, however, is rarely, if ever, us
pure as marble. 1t consists chiefly of
the remains Of extremely small ami
malcules.
The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1888-11-10

deeply in search OF food for the stems,
and leaves. which, If plowed into the
land, will undergo decomposition and
from the subsoil. Its leaves take car
bonic acid largely from the atmosphere,
and the blowing in of this crop aug
ments the carbon of the soil very
materially, which changes its color
and gives it geater capacity to absorb
solar heat, and to retain manures and
ammonia, whether resulting from their
decomposition or absorbed from the at
mosphere.
A discriminating writer pertinently
says that well-eqnippcd farmers who
have lands adapted to potato-growing
will grow them by the hundred acres,
and with profit, even though prices
should be low, while those who can not
afford to own an outfit of machinery
will quit raising for market. The man
who plants and harvcsts by hand labor
can not compete in raising for market
with the one who plants and harvests
with machines, any more than the
whcat-grower who sows by hand and
harvcsts with the cradle can compete
with the grower who runs n secder and
a self-binder.
Mr.. II Ross. in the Farm journal,
states that in September, 1886, he pur-
chased nineteen ewes and mated them
with southdown ram. They pro-
duced twenty-sevcn lambs. Two of
them died, and he sold the twenty-five
remaining for S4.75 each, or total of
S1lS.75. The average clip ofwool was
five pounds, sold ut % cents, making n
total of $40. 80 from the flock for wool.
1t will be noticed that the flock pro-
duced nearly six times as muchin lamb
rs it did in wool, and shows that sheep
can be made to pay independently of
wool, rs the manure is not estimated.
The total receipts from nineteen living
ewes were Sl3g. 65.
The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1888-11-10

1t is o peculiar faculty of human
memory 10 msquote proverbs and
poetry, and almost invariably to place
the credit where it does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that "The
Lord tempers the wind TO the shorn
lamb" is from the Bible. whereas Law
renee Sterne is the author. Pouring
oil upon troubled waters is also as
cribed to the sacred volume. whereas
IL 10 not there; in fact, no one knows
its origin.
Again. we hear the people say 1.-The
proof of the pudding is in chewing the
string Thisis is arrant nonsense, and
the proverb SAYS:
the proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof and not in chewing the
string
Nothing is more common than to
hear:
"a man convinc d against his will
Is of the same opinion stu
This is an impossible condition of
the mind. for no one can DC convinced
of an opinion and at the same time
hold an opposite one. What Butler
wrote was emincntly sensible:
ale that complies arainst his will
| Is OF The same opinion still.'
A famous passage of Scripture is Of
ten quoted thus: He that is without
! sin among you, let him east the first
stone" 1t should be LET him first
cast stone"
Sometimes we are told: "Behold
how great matter little fire kind
leth." which is quite different thing.
| We also hear that ~ miss is rs good
as II mile,n which is not as sensible or
forcible as the true provcrb; "a miss
of an inch is rs good rs a mile"
.'Look before you leap" should be
"And look before you ere you leap"
Pope is generally credited with hav
ing written:
