HOW 1T WAS DONE.

A Lewiston (Mr) gentlemen who was
in Virginia soon alter the election tell"
us OF one trick which was resOrted to
there to d minish the coloreo vote. In
the town where he was ther" was a
heavy majority of colored voters, who
were specially awakened on the subject
of voting
when cleo i'm day came, Tuesday.
N ". 6. every cole red man in town va
eager to vote. The polling place was
t. he at the church where the meetings
had been held. They gathered there IN
the early morn ng; campei there at
noon were there when night came.
Nobody came neat them. although the
Mt iyh6orhood of the church was black
with colored vCt-rs. That night they
decided II a obably they had made n
mistake in the day, and that the vote
was to be taken on the next day. The
next day passel and there was no vot',
and, at night, man who CA led there
told them to go home. Election, he
said, had been held the day before, three
miles up the river. They had simply
changed the polling place, and the
voters were not there te'au'e they
didn't know anything about the change. >

Of Praise and Thanksgiving to Almighty God for

The Democratic vote in the town of
An1Over. has increased one hundred per
cent. At The State election in Septpm-
Der there was hut one Democratic vote
cast in that town. At the election in
November there were two cast, 1t is

the Republicans of Vermont to be vigil

THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.

This was accomplished in 1915 for the
purpose of extending the are of sla, cry,
thus maintaining the balance of power
between the South and the North which
the greater growth of the North seemed
likely to break up. This. though appar-
emily successful, led to the Mexican war
which in IT'D results added more free
territory to the Union than it had gained
slave territory by the acquisition OF
Texas. Tkis WAS the first boomerang.

The next move of the Democracy,
chamI med by Stephen A. Douglass,
was the repeal of the Missouri compro-
mise act. THIS was passed in 1920 and
provided that slavery should not be ex-
tended North of la i'ude $500 This re-
peal left to the people of this vast area,
North and South of $500, at liberty to
admit or reject slavery as majority of
the settlers should determine. Put to
this test the North won, and the Democ-
rncy WAS thoroughly beaten.

called SUCCESS for Democracy, hut for
the purpose for which it was waged,
namely, the extension of slavery, it was
an abortion.

And when in spite of all opposition
the war was brought to a successful
issue, we find the Democratic party hos
tile TO all feasible terms of readjustment
of the seeded States. President John
son ''swung round the circle, b" prating
of the constitution and raising all posi-

very near being deposed from bis high

In connection with other measures to
strengthen the slave power, the DemOc
racy procured the passage Of an act by
which ,l,v,s escaping to free States
could be reclaimed ans delivered up to
their claimanrs. And all persons were
forbidden, under severe penalties, to
feed or shelter a Runaway slave, but were
epjoined to Assist in their capture ard

provisions of this law def ated it pm

toes. which cannot be utilized until
all danger from frost is passed. We
have purposely suggested the division
of the ground into two pieces, in order
that comparison might be drawn be-
tween the results Of hand labor and OF
horse-hoeing Also that closer atten-
tion might be secured for these earli-
est crops than they would probably
receive if planted in the larger rows
and cultivated with the rapidity incl
dent to horse-culture and to larger
areas. Also for economy of space,
which is more tn b. considered IN
growing the earliest vegetables than
elsewhere. If the ground is fine and
moist as it should be when the seeds
are put in, the mere act OF covering
will be sufficient to bed them properly /;
but should the surface be at all dry or
lumpy it will be best to run a light
hand-roller along the rows. This, by
compacting the earth firmly about the
seed where it lays, will assist IN It's
speedy and regular termination.

GOLDEN WYANDOTTE FOWLS.

One of the most attractive novelties
in recent exhibitions Of poultry were
the Golden Wyandottes. In all
points except color they are similar to
the older and well-known varieties of
Wyandottes, but are heavier, more
hardy, and mature earlier. The color
Of the male, on breast and wings, is a
deep rich golden-bay, laced with
black, and the hen is deep gold col
or, laced with black. There is little
penciling in the center Of the feath-
ers, and clear. bright hackles. Their
general appearance is striking and
and beautiful. The variety origina-
ted a few years ago, and rapidly found
favor among fanciers. Last autum a
"Golden Wyandotte Club" was formed,
with view Of promoting the pure
and uniform breeding of this new
variety. At the recent meeting OF

President Cleveland has accepted an
an invitation to review the g. A. r.
parade at Brooklyn, on Decoration
Day. Now let "Little Breeches'
howl.-Portsmouth Times.
It is not at all necessary for Little
Breeches" to howl. Members Of the
e.. A. R. in Brooklyn notified the Cop
perhead Committee several days ago,
that if the Wheeling methods were
to be attempted in Brooklyn, the boys
would simply fall out Of ranks before
reaching the stand containing the
"big 'un." That copperhead gag of
attempting to capture the g. A. R.
and humiliate the boys by compelling
them to go ON record as cheering
Cleveland, is played out, completely.
There will doubtless be fun, if it is
tried again.

A large number of citizens Of Chi
cago are moving in the matter of clos
ing the saloons on Sunday. And they
are moving in way that shows they
are in earnest. The idea of respecting
the Sabbath seems to be gaining rap
idly in the cities, and most of the
great centers will doubtless soon be
freed from the heathenish disregard
of the holy day. We trust the same
thought will prevail largely in the
smaller cities. Any Sunday in Jack
son may be seen from eight to ten
places of business open and running,
as though there was no such thing as
Sunday known. Let this idea be
wiped out, at once and forever. Sure
Iy people can afford to rest one day in
