Woe to those who SWING false lanterns on the
beach till men crash into ruin. Castaways
Castaways!
By talking with sea captains have found
out also that some vessels come to this
calamity through sheer recklessness. There
are 5000, 900 men who follow the sea for a
living. 1t is a simple fact that the average
of human life on the sea is less than twelve
years. This comes from the fact that men
by familiarity with danger sometimes be-
come reckless-the captain, the helmsman
the stoker, the man on the lookout become
reckless, and in nine out of ten shipwrecks
it is found out that some one was awfully to
blame. So | have to tell you that men are
morally shipwreeked through sheer reckless
ness There IRE thousands who do not care
where they are in spiritual things. They do
not know which way they are sailing. and
the sea is black with piratical hulks that
would grapple them with hooks of steel and
blindfold them, and make them walk the
plank. - They do not know what the next
moment may bring forth. Drifting in their

burn on the sea, the charred hulk tossed up
great troubles, financial troubles. domestic
troubles, social troubles; but they never
pray for comfort. With an aggravation of
sin they pray for no pardon. They do not

ness ut. the mouth Of heavens harbor; reck-

farther from God, farther from early religious
influences, farther from happiness; and what

Of the enabling act, relative to ballots for

Il may be summed up: that the election

except that no elector can vote for more
than two candidates for delegate. Voters
should be careful to have only two names
on their ballots, as more than two written

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1889-11-09
I've years the Democratic party has

five years the Democratic party has
been playing on that single string.
and some of the party are getting
tired. All the Democratic reasoning
goes upon the basis that new ap.
portionmeht in season for the next
Presidential election is improbable.
On the contrary, the Republicans in
Congress will richly deserve defeat if
they fail to make the appointment
required by the census of 1890 before
the close of the session in the Winter
of lS90-'9l. They have the necessary
votes ia the House already, and will
have still larger majority when
seats now fraudulentiy occupied by
candidates of the shotgun are restOr-
ell to men for whom a majority of
the people voIed. 1t is conceded, of
course, that any party may throw
away its opportunities and commit
political suicide. But the Republic
can party has not been accused, even
by its worst opponents, of political
folly, and it would be the worst con-
ceiyable folly to defer superintendent,
with the certainty that new assign
ment of votes according to pOpula-
ton would give the Republicans a
considerable gain, on account of the
rapid growth of the Northwestern
States. But on the basis of the
present appOrtionment the electoral
votes in 1892 will number Ala, includ-
ing thirteen from the four new States.
OF these the former slave States have
only 1853. and the six votes of West
Virginia are admitted to be doubtful.
Besides this doubtful State, the Dem-
Ocrats require fifty-five more votes.
and cannot get them with New York,
New Jersey. Connecticut, and Mon
tana. which would give them only
tifty-four, one less than enough TO
elect. They require some other
Northern State, but with these any
other, even the smallest, would do
always surprising that they succeed
in West Virginia and every other
| Southern State. Tribune.

THE PRESIDENTIAL OUTLOOK
In the light of recent elections Dem.
ocrats have already begun to array
Gle .toraI votes of States, proving that
their party cannot win without the
vote of New York. They neglect to
mention the facts which show that
the Republicans can. 1t is Il very
old story that the Solid South has no
chance of controlling the Govern
ment except by means of the essen.

Annual Report,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The an
nual report of Secretary Rusk, of the
Department of Agriculture. and the
first issued under the newly consti-.
tuted Department., has just been
made public. The Secretary makes
the usual references to the work of
the several scientific and other divi-
sions of his Depart ment, and, IN adj
diti0n, he deals at length with GER
tain plans for the thorough reOrgani..
cation of the Department of Agricul-
ture,. and suggests several rev
features in the interest of the deyel.
opment of agriculture.
The report calls attention to the
fact that the first efforts toward a re.
organization were hampered because
of the surprising fact that the ap-
prOpriati0ns for the current fiscal
year were made entirely upon the
basis of the old organization, no ac.
count being taken of the entire
change in the status of the Depart.
ment. The Secretary insists upon the
necessity fer his relief from this EN-.
barrassment and for adequate appro.
priatiOns to enable him to meet what
he believes TO be the obligations of
the Department to the country.
The Secretary closes his report
with this earnest exhortation: "The
great nations of Europe strain every
nerve TO make Science the handmade
of War; let it be the glory of the
American people to make Science the
handmade of Agriculture"

FRUIT CULTIVATION, The Enc

FRUIT CULTIVATION The Eng
fish are almost as fond of congresses
aud conferences a5 we Americans are
of associations AMI societies and their
annual meetings. The Royal Horti-
cultural Society has just published
the report of a congress of experts on
the important subject of the culture
of apples and pears. As far back as
1858 there was an Apple Congress,
and in 1885 Pear Congress, and now,
in 1889, we have more recent results
eff English experience on both apples
and pears. Much of the discussion
turned on the purely English ques-
ton of the relations of landlord and
tenant. and the proportion which
each should bear to the first cost of
planting fruit trees. but, fortunately
in this country the farmer and fruit
grower is oftenest the owner of the
soil. However, it is interesting to
learn that sanguine fruit growers
take off fifty per cent. profit on an
Investment in apple and pear trees,
but that would turn all our farmers
into fruit growers. One expert spoke
Of "Appes for profit" another Of
Fruit Culture for Profit in the Open
Air"; third of "Dessert P"aro";
fourth on "Pruning"; a fifth on
"Canker in Fruit Trees; sixth on
its cause and Cure" seventh on
the "Enemies of the Apple and
Pear" and the poor sparrow was
praised and blamed by turns in the
paper and the discussions that fol-
lowed it and so every branch of the
subject of when, where and how to
grow apples and pears was taken up.
One very interesting feature was a
map to show the proportion which
orchards and vegetable gardens bear
to population in every county in
England. with reference to the inf1u-
ence of railroads on cultivation of
fruits and vegetables for the market.
Much of this sort of information is
to he found in the reports of our own
Federal Department of Agriculture,
and now that it's chief sits in the Cab
met of the President, we may count
on more thorough work.-PhiIooeL-
phio Ledger.

Rapid Railroad Construction.

An invention which promises to
revolutionize the present method Of
railroad construction was put 10
practical test recently by Ge0r.e
Roberts, the inventor. in the presence
of about three hundred railroad ex-
perts, The machine worked beyond
the expectations OF the inventor, the
men laying at the rate,of two and
one-halt miles of track per day. and
twelve men doing the work of sew
entv,five by the old way. 1t handled
ties and rails of the heaviest kind
used in constructing mountain roads
with the greatest ease, placing
them raDidly and accurately in posi-
tiOn. The machine is 80 constructed
that it can he used on any ordinary
fat car. All construction material is
moved on rollers from the rear to the
front, where the machine takes up
the rails and ties, laying them very
rapidly on steep and difficult grade.
Its great success has caused the
Northern Pacific to secure the refusal
of the first machine, and the inventor
is now arranging for building two
more machines To cost ST 200, and
the inventor receives a royalty of $50
per mile. --Ne,o York Telegram.

Orr. County.

The Democrats succeeded In elect.
ing four of the nine county officers,
including two of the County Com
missioners. which will give them
the control of county affairs for the
next two years. There were several
agencies which contributed to this
result, the most power al being a
corrupt use of money and an unlimi-
ted quantity of free whiskey. And
we desire to say here that we would
prefer defeat to the use of such
agencies. Another reason for our
defeat was that Republicans did not
turn out in some of the districts. Our
majority in the county for Mr.. We'll
