LOYALTY TO PARTY
PRINCIPLES
Providence. April 4.-The Republicans have
completely redeemed the State, elected the entire
Republican State ticket, and secured an over
whelming majority in the Legislature. The streets
tonight were crowded with iubilant Republicans
who celebrated the victory with cannon, music and
cheering At IL p. m. returns had been received
from twenty five voting places out Of seventy
five in the State. In these the vote stood:
Taft Qep) candidate for Governor, 7,642
Davis (Dem.) candidate for Governor, 4. 6,2o1
Gould (Pro.) candidate for Governor, $40
The same precincts last year gave Davis 141
majority. Unofficial returns from Warwick, Woor-
socket, Bristol, and other large towns add $50 to
Tafts majority. 1t is safe to say that Taft has
1000 majority in the State and it may exceed this
figure. The Republican estimates of yesterday
did not exceed 1000
The Democrats and Mugwumps are beaten on
every hand Lapham, the scratched candidate
for LieutenantGovcrnor, seems to have run ahead
Of his ticket, and all others on the ticket are
are believed to have been elected by handsome
maiorities. The Democrats will have hardly more
than corporaPs guard in the next Legislature.
ALI their leaders, including Garvin. Carroll, Han
ley and Gormon are defeated. Representative
Hayes of Bristol, whom the rum interest cspe-
cially tried to knock out, received twenty-five
majority This Republican
United States Senator. This city, which Davis
carried last year by l,7OO majority, was carried
for Taft this year by 500 majority. 1t is the
first time in the history of the State
that Governor was defeated for
reelection, after serving only year. The rum
corruption fund and the $751; sent here by the
Democratic National Committee have proved Of
no avail. Rhode Islands vote may now be counted
as sure for the Republican Presidential electors.
; The friends of protection for American indus
tries and American homes have won a most de-
cided victory There Is no happier man in Rhode

The Bubble Reputation.

There's a good young man in San
Antonio. Some people may doubt
this but he is good, perhaps only be-
cause his wife keeps him under con-
troll. Yesterday morning his wife
told him that the wood dealer hadn't
left the wood ordered, there was none
in the house and that if he wanted
any food he must get wood. Sadly
the good young man arose before day
light and trudged off to Milan square.
Wood was scarce there, only four
small loads were present, and they
charged at the rate of $40 per cord.
He got the wood required, for al
though it came high he must have it;
but in so doing he sacrificed his repu-
tation as a good young man for all his
friends who saw him out so early ac-
cused him of being out all night. In
reply to this accusation he only
blushed, "set them up" and went
sadly on his way.

Posi- OF SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 20.
Editor San Antonio LIGHT;
Sir:-In your issue of the 26th in
slant, referring to the fact Of the en-
enlistment of l.. Josef in the Z. s.
army, you say that having enlisted
as private in the U. S. army, he is
bound to this life of almost slavery
for the next five years"
This statement is misleading and
erroneous in toto, as any fair-minded
person who knows Of the curriculum
of army life can tell. There is moth
ing connected with the army or life
therein, that could bring one to con-
meet it with slavery; nothing in the
routine of 9oldier's duties in the L.
S. A, that the performance of would
tend to lower ones self respect, or
lessen their standing in the cOmmu-
nifty, could that community be
brought to view US with unprecedented
eyes and unbiased minds. But when
paragraphs of the nature of the one
which has formed the basis of this
letter, appear under the guise of truth
in the daily papers, (the peoples edu-
cators) and the idea by such gains
current ground that our army is
merely system Of slavery and serf-
dom, it Is sufficient apology for me
trespasslng on your time and space to
contrOvert these miS-StatementS.
There are many in the ranks of our
army, privates, too, who would do
credit in any walk of civil life; young
men with excellent characters and
education are every day met with.
Those men serve out their five years
and re-enlist, as is attested by the fact
that over 20 per cent of the army have
over five years service.
If the army was, as you state, "slav-
ery,n would this state of things eX-
Ist?
The soldier in the United States
army is better paid, better fed and has
better accommodations than any in
the world. Should you doubt this,
come to our post any time and you
will be shown around the clearly al d
well-kept sleeping apartments, bath
rooms, libraries, amusement rooms,
etc. You can see some gentlemanly
soldiers who are satisfied with army
"slavery" and who. if interviewed,
will give you an idea of it and it's non
existence i'm the United States army.
Apologizing for trespassing on your
valuable space, lam,
Very respectfully,
F. Nj. F.,
A SOLDIER, Nor A SLAVE.

Practical Suggestions for the Farmers.

DICKINSON. OAK. Feb. %. SO.
EDITOR PREss:-lt is pleasant to see
the ground again. With the spring
like weather, l notice the Alfalfa is
starting vigorously, where the snow
has been gone for but few days. Red
clover, Alsike, English Blue Grass
and Italian Dat Grass; all seem to
have stood the winter we'll. yet it is
too early to say how we'll, as neither
starts in spring as early as Alfalfa.
1t is sad to hear of the suffering and
loss of life by freezing from Dec. Dist,
well into last month from SourhcIn
Dakota, down through kansa, into
Texas. If these Seffcrers could have
had our numerous coal banks, their
suffering would have been greatly
lessened. 1t seems that we hardly
appreciate the value of Our abundant
and convenient supply of coal. 1t is
now time for our farmers to he think
ing of the comeinS spring crops and
the kind most profitable to cultivate.
Among the most profitable for us to
raise. potatoes and corn will stand in
the first rank. yet in the former we
have but short time i'm the fall for
shipment to market and the fall mar
ket is generally low. while few farm
ers are prepared to winter the crop.
1t has been the general opinion her"
that this was no corn country. yet the
few experiments of the past four
years should dispel that delusiom.
The faith in cor culture has been so
small that the crop has generally been
planted on sod. late i'm MAY. o. rs late
us the middle of jane and has taken
its chance without cultivation and
generally very poor preparation of the
ground. and yet without that there
have been some good crops grown.
Now let o,r farmers try Il new plan.
If you plant on sod. break it rs early
as possible. not less than threeor four
inches deep and turn over IA strcisht
fiat furrow. (yon can do this if You do
not cnt it too wide,) then us 500 IL,
the ground gets warm. from the 10Th
of April to the first Of May. plant your
corn with Il hand planter between the
burrows and then work the land fine
with the harrow. First work it well
lengthwiSe and then across and if vou
want a big crop work the corr us soon
as it is up with a horse and c%ultivator
and continue to go through it once II
week for six weeks; this will make
you a big crop if you have Il good
stand. but if too thick it must he
thined while young. Your land will
be in prime order for grain next
year with OF without pl"win. and
anv of the varieties of flint corn. an
the early varieties of dent, will mature
early in August. before the cool wet
Weathe: of that month commences
