From the above tables it will be
seen that New York is necessary to
the success of either party, and few
democrats have any hope left for that
state. Indiana and California will in
probability fall into the democratic
column, but it is equally probable,
if not certain, that New York will go
to the republicans in the final count.
Some democrats may be able to find
hope in the following dirpatches, but
we are free to admit that we do not.

The Man of Many Passes.

Life with the general passenger
agent of a railroad is one continued
round of pleasure. He is about the
only official connected with the man
agement of railroad who can travel
around the country without price.
His fat pocket-book contains the
magical open sesame to all lines of
road in the country, and he also pos
sesses the potent pasteboard which
gives to him the privileges of the
sleeping cars and dining ears. When
the general freight agent travels, he
has his annual. railroad passes, but he
is obliged to produce to the represen-
tatives of the sleeping car compan-
ions, and pay the usual tariff for his
meals in the dining cars. A general
passenger agent can start for New
York with only his collection of an
nuals and the price of two cocktails,
and return home with the entire out.
fit, as some one will surely turn up
to purchase his cocktails for him. tt
paraphrase the old-time chestnut, the
general passenger agent could &C
around the world with a paper collar
and a 81 bill, and change only the col
lar.

The Cause Still Lives.

Nashville American.
Let no one fancy that if Grover
Cleveland is in reality defeated, the
cause which he represents will lose
any of its strength. The cause is the
cause of the masses against the
classes it is the cause of right, truth
and justice, andit is undying.
Because Republican money has
been able to buy the vote of one State,
because the voters of New York have
not chosen wisely, makes no argu-
ment against the righteousness of the
tariff reform movement. AS well
say that locks and bars are worthless
because burglar happens to break
through them once in a while.
No! The principle that Grover
Cleveland stood for is more promi-
nent today than it was last December
when he reused the nation with the
| CluIlOu WOIuS- ...
unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation ~
That principle stands for the wei.
fare of 100000 as against the bur.
dens laid upon them for the benefit Of
-, 100000. 1t stands for yooT welfare
readers, whether you be man Or wo
man, black or white. The Democracy
has nailed the flag of tariff reform to
its masthead, and though that grand
army may have received a tempo
rary check, the principle is as enduring
as the everlasting hills, and it vii
triumph as surely as the day follows
the night.

A Baby with Two Heads.

4 French couple 10y the name Of Reoul-
beault, living in Manchester, y. H., fora
year past, are said to be the parents Of a
genuine freak Of nature. Mr.. and Mrs.
Reoulbeault left town on the Montreal
express for Canada last night, having with
them two children, one a bright little
fellow three or four years old, and the
other an infant in arms. The former
seemed perfectly well formed, and was
apparently as active and healthy AZ any
child in Manchester. The infant, how
ever, is reported by several persons who
saw it at the passenger station last even
ing to be a genuine m~onstrosity. The lit
tie one, now four weeks old, is asserted
to haye two perfectly formed heads, join
ed at the body by short, bus well-formed
necks.
The lower portion Of the body and
limbs are said 10 be regular and well pre-
portioned and that the child's lungs were
all right was evinced 10y its frequent cries
and screams. II is said that it cries al
ternately with one mouth and then with
the other, and that It can close one pair
ofeyes while the others are open. The
parents are abnormally sensitive in re-
gard to their strange offspring and, as far
as possible, have kept its birth a secret
This -sensiiiveness Is said to be the caHse
for the departure Of the family for Cana
da. The child seemed perfectly strong
and healthy, and partook OF nourishment
with an ayidity and appetite which spoke
well for its future growth Chicago Her

Working Small Fruits in the
Fall.


In many sections it is not until Spring
arrives that the work Of cleaning the
fields begins, and then hurry ensues.
While the decayed weeds ami grass COW
ering the roots of the plants may serve as
a mulch, and partially protect agoinst
the severity Of the winter, the question
comes I'D as a matter Of cost. Apparently
it is cheaper to allow the weeds TO grow
and remain, if they are valued az mulch
ing material. as no labor is required in
their use. but weeds are very expensive,
and are really costly, II The matter be
viewed from an economical standpoint
The storing Of the material for the pro-
duction Of next years crop of fruit goes
On 10 the vines now, and the greater por
ton ofthe effort Of reproduction is when
the conditions Of heat and moisture are
most favorable. Some plants bear fruit
before the summer comes on, but It Is
during the summer that the growth of
new canes and vines Is greatest. All the
elements Of growth come from the soil,
and as no plant will thrive as well under
competition as without it, it is plain that
the weeds simply rob the not only Of
n~ourishment, but also Of moisture. When
they die in the fall they do not return to
the soil that which is derived from it, as
during the process Of decomposition
much Of the %nitrogenous matter IS dissi-
pated in the atmosphere. Instead of as
sisting to protect the fruit plants in the
winter, il Is more frequently the reverse,
for the strong, vigorous weeds retard he
fruit plants and cause them 10 be weak
and sickly, thereby subjecting them 70
the chances Of more easily ~succumhing
TO the cold. At this season the first duty
should be to cultivate between the rows
Of strawberries, rtspberries an blackber-
ries, thinning ont the surplus plants and
either hoeing or manipulating the weeds.
Ifsome kind Of winter covering be need
ed il is more economical to use salt hay
or some cheap material that can be east
IL applied. II is also best to cut back
the tops Of tall canes. Ifgrowth is to be
made let it be made of l~aterals. It il
much better TO cut back early than TO
wait until the plant has wasted energy
in producing vine that must be removed
in the spring. An the energy saved now
will be brought into use next spring in
the effort TO produce fruit. which will be
Of better quality.-Tho Elrmers Magazine.
