JOHN L.. SULLIVAN, who strobe
the narrow world like colossus, is
no longer the greatest man on
on earth. They who say it must
feel a certain shock of regret, for
there is something ofhero worship
in every soul. That one person
should exceed all others-a billion
others--in physical prowess was a
.delusion eagerly harbored. And ii
was but a delusion after all. I'm
doubtedly there have been millions
of men whe could swell Sullivan's
ear as roundly as he could confuse
their brows, but the bubble reputa-
tion protected Sullivan.

Randall has submitted his high
tariff bill for the reduction of sur
plus taxation. The measure is
wholly bad. Tho receipts of this
government come principally from
customs and the internal tax on
liquor and tobacco. In 1887 the
ratio was PIT in customs and lis in
direct taxes. "A reduction of one
hundred millions that should treat
the necessities of life no worse
than the curses and luXuries would
take perhaps 66 from custom and
81 from excise. This would be Civ
ing to whisky the same govern
mental recognition and approba-
tion that is offered to wooden blank
cts, cottons, lumber, salt, iron and
all those articles without which
the people cannot live. But Ran
dali offers to America, as a substi-
tute for the bill of the Committee
on Ways and Means, a project
which, with only $95, 100000 of es-
timated reduction, takes 10 from
whisky and tobacco and % from
woolens, cottons and all other ne.
cessities, at the same time trying
to so place this % as to cheaper
fewest of the real needs of life.
This bill condemns Mr.. Randall
as more knave than statesman
And he is even more fool thar
knave to lay it before Congress.

An Attractive Horse.

One of the finest Stations tn at
was ever shown in Logan appeared
on our streets last Saturday. He
has only recently been brought
from Kansas by Steve Stiers of
Haydenville, whose liking for this
stallion, "Petros" was too strong to
allow of his being left behind. The
good judge of what draft stallion
should be, sees in "Petros" an ami
NAL of high individual excellence,
heavy weight with plenty of bone
and muscle to carry him through.
Symmetrical and stylish, with ac-
tion almost equal to a roadster.
These qualities, coupled with the
fact that they are not accidental,
but bred IN him from long time
of equally as good ancestry; being
descended directly from some of
the best imported stock that ever
crossed to America; will make him
very desirable horse for our farm
ers to look after. Such stations of
equal merit stand in some parts of
the West for $25, but we are inform
ed that he will be put at such a
price, that the farmer who refuses
to breed to him on account of
Price, is too short sighted to see
that the eight or ten dollars excess
paid for q colt from Petros instead
of the haphazard bred stallion is
economically spent. This excess,
let us say of rs is for the extra
quality of the horse, and means q
return in the course of about 3 yrs.
of from 500 to 800 for the SO, as
that is about the excess value of
colts from such stations as Petros,
over tho ordinary one of the
county. We are aware that some
breeders will take the cheapest
horse offered regardless of quality
or breeding. One half the horse
stock in the county might be kept
for stations and good portion of
them would be cheap enough ifput
at prices corresponding to quality
to satisfy people looking for low
price horses. We don't believe in
stations without a good pedigree,
no matter how good he is individ-
ually, for he. is only good by chance,
neither do we believe in those with
all pedigree, and no show of his
breeding; hut we want the two to
go together.As we have said in re.
gard to. "Petros." He has none b,
the best of draft blood, and he is an
honor to his breeding. Farmers
who can appreciate good stock
when they see it, and have a de-
sire to procure an Improvement in
their horse stock, had better book
their brood mares early TO Petros
as he viii be limited in number
His owner considering him too
valuable to injure by over service
while young. Petros, is four years
old, and has at least three to four
years to develope in, by which time
if not injured, he promises to be
the heaviest and best draft horse
in the county.

A Measure Of Relief.


A Measure Of Relief.
The Tariff bill prepared by the
Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee will grow in
public favor, day by day, as it shall
be more fully discussed and better
understood. The roar and racket OF
the protectionist press will deceive
nobody who shall desire to make
up an accurate Judgment from a
study of the facts bearing upon the
situation.
1t must be borne in mind that the
object of the bill is to afford the
largest measure of relief to the
people, not only by reducing the
amount of money poured daily into
the Federal Treasury in excess of
necessities of the Government, but
by cheapening the cost living at the
expense of the monopolies, trusts
and combinations which are at pre-
sent sucking the marrow of the
consumer.
The bill proposes to revive the
dropping manufacturing interests
of the country by discarding the
rule, unscientific and unnecessary
device of taxing of both the crude
material and the finished product,
thus putting our industries and our
labor at a disadvantage as compar-
ed with competing industries and
labor in all other parts of the world.
No argument can break down the
fact that manufacturer could make
cheaper goods and pay better wages
if they could buy
Cheaper wool,
Cheaper dye-stuffs,
Cheaper lumber,
Cheaper jute, hemp and flax,
Cheaper chemicals and other
u uuc IllulClitlos
And no argument will avail to
convince the laboring man that he
will be injured by
Cheaper food,
Cheaper clothiug,
Cheaper shelter,
Cheaper earthenware,
Cheaper glass, and
Cheaper utensils.
If taxes can be reduced $100,000,-
900 by comforting these general adj
vantages upon the industry of the
country, and the same stroke
gathering into the pockets of con-
sumers another $1O0,OO0,O0O of un-
earned money from the inordinate
prices of materials which are heces-
saries of life, is it not worth while ?
This it the aim of the new Tariff
bill. This it will accomplish if it
shall become a law. For every dol
lar of tax it may intercept on its
way to the Treasury it will save the
people two other dollars on the way
to the nav of Monopoly. OF course
the lobby will howl, and the sub
sidized press will rage and the "pro-
tected interests, will protest.; but
Tax Reduction and Tariff Reform
are Near at hand.

-------------------
into one of the most potential
sources of wealth.
SO far as the record of the March
session discloses the raising of this
clall of CANNES is totally neglected
except in the precinct of Gore, and
the Townships of Goodhope, Green,
Laure and Marion, while these the
business seems to be but in it's in
fancy. 1t is time that the industry
is pushed to the front and this class
of dogs be universally grown
among our farmers, while the
State Legislature place tariff on
the business of killing sheep suf-
ffciently high to protect our dogs
from the pauper labor of the dogs
of other States, Canada and Europe.
AS an example of what may be
done in the way of increasing our
wealth in this direction we submit
Il few facts and figures. The sworn
value of the whole number of kill
ed and injured sheep as returned to
the assessors with the wool on was
S1.s9 per head, or total of $143.12
while the value as allowed by the
commissioners on testimony at the
date of killing with the wool off
was little in excess of $2.61h or
an aggregate of $l9s.s6 a gain of a
little more than 3996.
Now considering that the owners
realize crop of wool in the mean
time it is easy to see the enormous
profit there is in raising of dogs
possessed of the proper appetite
and reasonable industry. We no.
tice too that this business like all
others is improved in it's profits as
it is enlarged and judiciously man.
aged, for instance in Goodhope Tp.,
where dog, very evidently mex
perienced killed six and injured
four, the owners of the sheep realiz-
net profit of only $1.2O on an in
vestment OF $16.30, or only about
6@6 while in Gore precinct, which
was worked by dogs of more judg-
ment and experience, five were
killed and twenty-three injured
upon which profit of $33.G5 was
realized on an invested capital of
$55,35 all amount equal to q little
more than 6095. This shows how
much depends on having dops we'll
up in the business not only because
of the greater immediate profits
but because a sheep judiciously in
jured will keep over and may be
killed or injured the next season
with as much profit as a sound
sheep.
TO see at glance the stupendous
possibilities of this much neglected
and unprotected industry, let us
considerthe foregoing II fair aver
age of the profits of the business.
We presume dog Of experience
and industry can without undue
eNertion, kill 4 and injure II sheep,
every alternate night Of the year,
and that each township can main
tain 90 of such dogs, making 220 in
the county. This number of dogs
would during the year kill and in
jure $40, 120 sheep which at a pro-
fit of seventy-two cents each would
yield to the owners the snug sum
of 1896, 5,356.40 which in ten years
would amount to $3,953,66 and not
many decades would pass away till
we would own the State. Let us
seize the opportunity and grow
rich.

A very amusing incident occurred yes
terday at a well-known and popular
Main-street restaurant, which is worthy
of'being put in print.
Il seems that the proprietor of the es-
adjustment had purchased a box of Ger
man hand-kasse "-Anglice hand
cheese and had left the box on the side
walk While there, a cOuntrvman came
along with basket of dressed chickens
for sale, and he placed the basket ON top
of the box Of cheese.
la a short time the proprietor came
out, and looking at the chickens re-
marked that they were spoiled, as they
omitted the unmistakable Odor of decav
The countryman swOre they were fresh
the moment before, and could not under
stand the sudden turn they had taken
towards decomposition.
Several bystanders joined in the con-
versation about this time and all were
ready TO assert that the fowls were unfit
for use, and that no chicken that smelt
so badly could possibly be used for hu-
man food
IN give you half-price for the lot for
cats meat" says the proprietor
The countrymsn was about to accept
the offer, but thought he would give his
goods one more test Taking chicken
from the basket he found it perfectly
fresh, and going back TO the basket on
the box of cheese, at once discovered the
source of the trouble.

early in the morning to get ahead of a
