Gus movements are in earnest. 1t was not
a rash or precipitate act. 1t was the re-
suit of matured thought, of deep convlc-
tion and earnest purpose. The notice had
been served that no further usurpation
would be tolerated-that there should be.no
further denial Of the rights of the people,
and that there was limit to the desperate
methods of the chairman. beyond which
it would be fatal for him to step. That

Malone must be eliminated from the
politics of Virginia and that the Re
publican party, organized and conducted
in the interests and by the support OF the
people. will live and grow, an integral
part of the grand old party that has done
so much for the country, in that it is
party of the people and for the people, and
not a mere machine for the use OF a
usurper and petty despot. 1t is the Re
publican party of Virginia as contradls'

seeks no higher object than to obey the
commands and record the will OF an unscru-

The Tariff Debate.

The great discussion of the tariff ques-
ton was reserved for the last days of it's
consideration. On Friday Hon. W. Nc
Kiney, of Ohio, spoke for the cause of
American labor and American industries.
His speech was the ablest of the session,
if not one OF the abest ever delivered in
Congress. He was followed by Hon. w.
G. 7. Breckinridge. of KY, for British
free trade. foreign labor and foreign indus
tiles. l. was an eloquent word painting.

icanisal. lis arguments were but a re-

AS evidence that the Ohio Republicans,
including Gov. Foraker and Senator Sher-
man begin to understand the methods
and aims of Gen. Malone. we take the
following from the Columbus, o., SUNDAY
Herald, published at the capital of the
State and rejecting public sentiment
there. Under the caption of the "Fir-
ginia Cont est. ?" the Herald says:
No one questions Gen. Malone great services
to the Republican party in Virginia in the past,
but distinguished services give no man tn
right to dominate a PARTY to the exclusion of the
expression OF the Will of the majority of the
mem hers OF the party. That General Malone
has attempted to dominate the party in his
state in the recent contests for delegates to
both the State and national conventions there
can be no question. AS result there was an
animated fight i'll the state convention wind
ing up in split and the holding of two conven-
tions in different halls. AS further result
there will be two delegations from Virginia
contestilg for seats in the national convention.
TIL at convention will be obliged to decide
whether William Malone is the Republican
party of Virginia, whether the majority of
the voters OF the party in that State shall have
the same rights in the selection of delegates
the majority OF the Republicans ofother States.
The Republican party will not flourish under
bossism and dictatorship in any State. No
question of the Presidential nomination enters
into this contest and no such question should
be allowed 10 enter into it. The party to the
dispute VINO endeayors to create sympathy for
their side IN Ohio, elsewhere by claiming
that their action is in the interest ofany candi-
date for President, thereby confesses the weak
ness O1thelr position as an abstract question
between right and wrong.

From the New York Herald.
Our American dairy interests are
startlingly enormous. They repre-
sent an investment ~ofnearly five times
as much as the entire bank capital OF
the country-that is to say, the bank
capital is q little less than $671, O00,.
600, while the dairy interests amount
to more than So, O0G, OO0, 900.
OF course our readers can not swal.
low such frightful figures in a lump,
and we will therefore arrange them in
several smalle but still heroic doses.
The number OF mich COWS is estima.
ted at 81, o00,0 900. They give each
an average OF $50 gallons
OF milk annually. This would
make an aggregate milk production
of 1850, 10000 gallons a miniature
ocean, a fair-sized Niagara. Four
thousand million gallons are used for
butter, 700, 600, 900 for cheese and
the remaining 2,48o,O00,O 900 pass
through the a~dulterating hands OF the
milkman and grocer and down the
throats of 60,000,0O0 men, women
and babies in this land OF freedom.
The quantity OF butter manufacture
ed and used is about 1,350,000, 600
pounds, and of cheese $780, 900
pounds. The value of our dairy pro
ducts for the last twelve months was
nearly $500, 600, 900. This is 90
600, 600 more tnan the value Of our
annual wheat yield, while it closely
approximates that Of our corn crop,
which is the most valuable Of our farm
products,
To support this immense dairy herd
loo, 900, 600 acres OF pasture land are
required, worth SO, 500, 600, 900. IL is
easy enough to see, therefore that the
1000, 900 farmers in this country are
an important element of our national
welfare and prosperity.

TIRED OUT.

''Just tired out the neighbor said,
Turning from the squalid bed,
Who're the weary woman lay,
Painting LIES last hours away,
Savo that sound OF sObbing breath.
All was still as coming Death;
For the frightened children covered
Where, with heavy brows that lowered
Meath the long enduring strain,
The mute husband bore his pain.
Just tired GUITAR down below
Waves were f%retting on the flow;
And the full rcCurreut roar
Echoed upward from the shore;
Fainter grew tho pulses heat
As the worn hands plucked the sheet,
And the de~ath.dnmps gathered, where
Runled all the tangled hair.
Said the watcher at her side,
"Sho is waiting for the tide"
When the waves had ebbed anew,
The tired life was over too;
Gone from want, and care and i'll,
Very peacefully and still,
After all she bore and wept,
HHrd.wOrked vile and mother slept;
Very fair she looked, and meek,
Long dark lashes swept her cheek,
Worn hanGS crossed upon her breast,
For tho weary was at Test.'

Burying potatoes Is discussed as fol-
'ows by a writer in the Country Cen
rleman:
"When cold weather approaches
they are either removed to the cellar
intended for them or buried out OF
doors in heaps or pits. When thus
buried they are to be protected from
adverse influences. Sometimes they
are covered carelessly and in a ship.
shod manner, with first a thin layer
of straw, and to compensate for this
deficiency in straw a foot of earth is
heaped upon them outside. The
moisture and foul air which slowly &C
cumuIate in winter are held by
this thick layer OF earth, and
they rise to the upper point Of
the conical heap and cause de-
cay OF the tuberS, which is mistakenly
asCr;bed to the freezing OF this APP
parently most exposed part. A much
better way is to use plenty Of straw
and less earth. A farmer who never
lost one bushel in fifty in his winter
stored potatoes out doors made it q
rule to put on the heap one foot Of
compact straw, with only three or
four inches OF evenly laid earth to
hold it in position. Ventilating holes
were made with acrowbar at the apex
and filled with w;sps of straw. He
found it safe to place as many as
seventy bushels in heaps thus treated.
The thick mass OF straw not orly
served Cor protection against frost,
but acted as an excellent absorbent
OF bad moisture"
