FARM MATTERS.
SHOULD WOOL BE MADE A SPECIALITY
Sheep Raising Pays-Something About Nut
ton-Two Important Questions Answered
-Catsups and Pickles - Grape
Jams-Farm Hints, Etc.

While it must be admitted that the wool
industry is large, yet it may be doubted if
the farmers of this country have been
really benefited by making wool a spe-
cialty. Ii the wool interests be separated,
a comparison may be made, as wool is
only a product of the sheep. The sheep
does something more than produce wool.
1t supplies our markets with mutton and
lamb, its skin is valuable, and it enriches
all soils upon which it is kept. The grow
ing OF wool as specially by flockmssters
calls for the use of the merino breed in
preference to all others. Now, the merino
has been bred for fineness OF wool
and weight of fleece Its mutton quality
has been given no consideration whatever,
as any attempt to convert it into NUT
ton-producing animal has deteriorated the
quality of its wool. Wool being the spe-
cialty, the merino is found on nearly all
farms, and it supplies our markets with
the greater share OF mutton received,
which is done at the expense of a sacrl-
flee of the mutton-producing breeds, which
are rare compared with the merino. The
result is that farmers fail to take advan-
tage of the mutton breeds, which not only
produce middle grade of wool but often
pay larger profit in lambs alone than
the merino does in mutton, lamb and
wool combined

The New York State Convention at Buffalo

Empire State All Right

BUFFALO, Sept. u. Especial. - The
democratic state convention has COM
pleted its labor, with the greatest enthusi-
asm witnessed in any state convention
during the last twenty years. The har-
mony was perfect, not only on the princi-
Piles framed into the platform, but also on
the candidates nominated on the state
ticket. The result is gratifying to the
democracy of this state as it will 60 far
toward assuring a victory for both the
national and state ticket in November.
While the democrats have great cause
for elation, the republicans, on the other
hand, are thoroughly disguised. They
have been trying to make the country be-
heve for the last two months that there
was going to be fight over the nominal
ton for governor. In this they have
simply been whistling to keep up their
courage. They had hoped to have seen

"But, mamma" she asked, "how did

Because kitty would never have left

The Tariff and workmen's wages.


Ever since President Jarrett, of the associa-
ton of Pennsylvania iron workers, confessed
that the tariff had nothing TO do with the
wages OF operatives, and that living rates were
only obtained through the influence of the
trades unions, there has been a good deal less
talk in the protectionist organs about this mat
ter. The statement, too, made in the confiden-
tial fat circular issued by James P. Foster,
of tho republican league, that the manufactur-
ers get practically the sole benefit of the tariff
laws" has exerted an equally depressing infiu-
ence. SO authoritative an answer to one of
the principal arguments OF the opponents of
revenue reform gives the republican papers
that started the campaign with vigorous de-
tense of the tariff as friend of the laboring
man good reason for restraining their ardor.

The Manufacturer Gets the Cat"
IN. Y. Times

Every one who is at all familiar with the
tariff understands that the existing rates of
duty bestow upon the unprotected manufact-
urer bounty larger than his whole payroll.
Whoever disputes this statement has pecuni-
airy interest in the maintenance of the tariff, or
is ignorant of facts that are familiar knowledge
both to those whose fortunes have been in
creased by the protective policy and those who
have studied the ecomic condition of the eOun-
try. 1t is perfectly well understood for in
stance, that the increased price of domestic
goods, due to the tariff tax, is larger than the
total amount of wages paid to the operatives
in protected manufactures. No one who
knows what he is talking about viii seriously
dispute this, unless he is pecuniarily inter
ested. a capitalist, in protected enterprise

some dissension or at least opposition
over the gubernatorial nomination.
They believe that if contest should oc-
cur, it would possibly open the way to
their success in the Empire state this fall.
This was their only hope, and tonight
when the republican managers learned of
the unanimity of the convention and the
enthusiasm displayed here to-day, they
became the most thoroughly disgruntled
politicians ever known.
There was no opposition in the slightest
degree to the nomination of David b. Hill
for governor. He was supported by every
democrat faction in this state and had the
cordial Endorsement of the administra-
ton. The only element which ever OPP
posed Hill was few capitalists whom he
had stepped on in his official
capacity as governor, in order to
advance the interests of the
general public. Some of these men be-
longed to a so-called reform club in New
York City, and they have been trying to
endeavor to make little stir during the
last ten days. They failed, however. and
did not dare to stick so much as one of
their noses into the convention.
Gov. Hill was nominated in Buff
alo's beautiful music hall
tonight at 9:30 amid a scene OF enthu-
siasm almost unparalleled in such gather
ings. 1t resembled the scenes of wild en-
thusiasm which followed the nomination
of Tilden in ST. Louis in 1876; Hancock
in Cincinnati in 1880; Cleveland in Chi
cage in 1884 and again at st. Louis this
year. The only difference was possibly
in the number of persons, but this was

are skilled in convention work.

Had Gone After Water.
Greensboro (Ga.) Sun.

A story is told on aSunday-schoolte teacher
in q certain backwoods settlement in
neighboring county which is worth pub
fishing. She had new class of young
scholars, the parents of whom had
neglected to give them any instruction in
their catechism whatever Going to the
first boy in the class she asked him who
made him. He did not know. Shetold him
God, and urged him to remember it. OF
the next boy she asked who was the oldest
man. He did not know, and the teacher
told him Methuselah. So she went on
down the class, asking each a question
and giving them the answer.
While she was thus engaged the first
boy went to the bucket after some water.
The teacher returned to the head of the
class, and not knowing that any one was
absent she asked the first boy who maze
him.
Without hesitation the boy quickly re-
piled, "Methuselah!
NO" exclaimed the teacher in aston
ishment, "God made you"
''No, he didn't" persisted the urchin,
with confidence, ''the boy God made is
gone after water" The teacher gave up
the class.

thing seemed to interfere with the imbib-
