SHERMAN AND BLAINE

In Politics It's Six OF One and Half D
Dozen OF t'Other.
Mr.. Sherman may flatter himself
that he mas an equal chance with
Blaine for the Chicago nomination,
but his speech in favor of a perpetual
high tariff and unlimited expenditures
will not contribute TO that result II
the Republican convention means tG
speak aggrcssively and uncompromis-
ingly for high tariff it will fittingly
choose the reader and the more au-
daciots champion of that system of
| spollation. If Il proposes to palter on
| this subject it will take neither candi-
date, but search out new man. II
the nominee is rot Blaine it will hardly
be Sherman, fer Sherman has followed
the Blaine lines closely and has no per-
sonal merit or political strength which
is not possessed in greater degree by
Blaine. Sherman madc his strongest
push for the Presidential nomination
when he was Secretary of the Treas
ury, He then enjoyed not only the
backing Of the Administration,
whose hcir-apparcnt he was, with
all the prestige and the power OF
oilicialism acting through such a de-
partment as the Treasury, but, being
of frugal and not too scrupulUus
turn of mind, he was enabled To make
campaign costing him little, fol-
the clerks in charge of his literary bu-
rcau were on the treasury payroll and
the stationery was supplied at thepub-
lie cost,
Sherman has been contrasted with
Blaine on moral grounds to the al.
vantage of the former Though less
reckless and therefore less open to
assault, Sherman has not permitted
official opportunities to slip away from
him. On II third less pay than was
received by his br, tier. the General,
he has managed to pile up a comforta-
BILE fortune, while the General has lit
tie else than ordinary provision. But
the man who assisted to steal the
electoral vote of Louisiana for Hayes,
who gave him the treasury portfolio,
is not in position to comment too
savagel " upon the haste with which a
certain Speaker of the House placed
himself upon the ground floor of vari.
Gus little enterprises.

The Debate on the Tariff.

Mr.. Sherman seems TO he dcmoral-
lied by the eNigencics of his candidacy.
His speech on the message was Il mere
rchash of Mr.. Blaine'S cable. and dis
plays poor Mr.. Sherman in the UNI
pleasant attitude of one of Mr. Blaine's
most abject followers and imitators.
So closely did he copy his master that
he even suggested a distribution of the
surplus, piece of idiocy on which it
was generally supposed Mr.. Blaine
held n patent, with the disposition 90
prosecute all who dare infringe It. Mr..
Sherman speech must have disap-
pointed his friends in the Senate, and
will disappoint Western Republicans,
who see that to oppose all reform
of tariff is fatal to them, because it is
to be false to the pledges of their party
and is opposed to their own Just de-
mands. Mr.. Voorhees, made very
forcible defense of the message which
Mr.. Sherman bad attacked, exposing
the wrongs and mischiefs of the sur
plus taxation and the war tariff. and
urging free raw material for the bcne-
fit of American manufacturers. He
declared rightly that the Democratic
party, in seeking to effect wise and
conservative reform of the tariff laws,
IS the truest friend of the home manu-.
facturerS and OF their work people.

When calf coughs and discharges
trothy substance from the mouth and

diarrhea, it is suffering from parasitic
worms-snall thread worms III the

a great deal of trouble to all young
animals. from chickens up to calves.

too small let them get Il larger num-
Der or buy elsew here. If eggs are sold
by weight many will be broken in
handling. 1t is a striking fact noticed
in selling eggs, that when they are
scarce and dear no fault is ever found
with fair-sizad egg; but when prices
Are low more fault is found with the
size; because the price is low people
want them foe almost nothing. If eggs
were sold by weight poultrymen would
improve the size of them by breeding
from the largest eggs. Eggs from any
breed of fowls can be increased in size
by that method. S. Cooper, in Rural

No doubt many of our readers
have wondered by what process fruits
are preserved for show purposes so as
to retain their beautiful appearance

show: Prepare II saturated solution
of rock salt in water, add to it little
borax and alum, and when these shall
have been dissolved strain the brine
through fine cloth. Place the fruit
in jars or bottles, pour on the brine
and cork closely.

Mr.. Frank &. Wheaton, of New York,
telling of how the raccoons catch oysters
at Cat Island, near New Orleans, says that
one night he saw an old coon crawl up to
a big oyster that had his she'll open and
stick his paw in to scoop out the meat.
With snap the she'll came together, and
the coon was caught. He squaled and
tugged to get the oyster out of the mud or
his paw from the oysters clutch, but to
no u"pos". Then the tide began to rise,
aud pretty soon the water was running
about the coon'S feet. He saw what was
coming, and, after vain effort to get
away, deliberately gnawcd his own paw
off and hobhled off ON three legs.

Method of Snake Catching.

The best method have found for captur-

When you see one that you want, endeavor, by all possible means, to cover him with your net Then grasp his neck between the thumb and forefnger of your gloved hand and put him into one of the tin cans On returning home saturate a small sponge with chloroform, which thrust into the can with your snake. You can do this in a small room to prevent the snakes escape. In the course of @ quarter of an hour the snake may be taken from the can and arranged in bottle, which is then to be filled with alcohol and tightly corked, and your specimen is ready for the museum
