How few farmers are acquainted
with the true facts about the so
called disease termed hollow
horn" A well-infOrmed writer in
the Philadelphia Press, of whom
We know something about, gives
an amusing sketch from his per
sonal experience in this line. He
says "When dehOrned my dairy
about a year ago my neighUors
were shocked to learn that every
one of my we'll conditioned COWS
had the hOllOw-horn.' He goes on
to say not long ago a bob-tailed
old veteran that was dehOrned
with the rest had a hit of lndiges-
ton. A knowing COW doctor de-
cided that she must have The hOl-

is that IN nearly every instance

ALGER'S AMBITION.

While the election of Gen. ALGER to
the command of the Grand Army of the
Republic cannot be objected to ON per-
sonal grounds, still it will Impress most
people that the Grand Army organiza-
ton has drifted away from the safe
moorings where it anchored two years
ago when Judge REA was elected grand
commander. The election of Judge REA
was accepted by the public as an evil
deuce that the Grand Army organiza-
ton wished to acquit itself of the charge
of being political machine that was
used by the politicians for personal
ends. Now the election of Gen. ALGER
will revive the charge. The fact that
Gen. ALGER was an active candidate for
the Republican presidential nomination
last year, and that he was accused by so
eminent person as Senator SHERMAN
of going into the Chicago convention
and openly buying up the colored dele
gates, ought to have been sufficient rea-
son for squelching his ambition to be at
the head of the Grand Army organiza-
ton. There is a widespread impress
sion that Gen. ALGER's object now is
to use the Grand Army organization to
further his political schemes. Whether
that impression is just or unjust the or
ganization itself will be the sufferer.

MAHONE's TACTICs.

1t is not believed that MALONE will
be able to carry Virginia. but there are
elements of danger. He is conceded to
be a great organizer and as most of his
vote is colored, there is an opportunity
for his intimidating tactics. His great
effort will be to throw the negro vote as
unit. He will play upon the fears of
the ignorant colored men, and by pat
ronage and corrupt agencies endeavOr
to secure white votes enough for ma
jOrity. The vote OF the state is esti-
mated at 126.34L colored votes to 1854
whites. II he has the full colore
strength he will need but about $4,000
whites for majority. A sort Of mill :
tary organization is formed among the
negroes, divided into squads, COM
panles, and regiments. The officers
parade with gaudy sashes and trap
pings. and race pride is excited. Those
who do not join are watched, and any
disposed to vote the Democratic ticket
are put in terror, and, perhaps, made
victims of fanatical attacks. AS ther e
was but 1.539 majority for the Demo
Gratis last year, the contest will be
close enough to be interesting.

M'KINLEY AS A FRONTIER.
He Advises the President Not to
Call An Extra Session.

DEER PARK. Md, Aug. 2O.-Hon.
VIM. Nc Kinley, Jr., of Ohio, was much
of the day with the president and with
him discussed Ohio politics and the adj
visibility of converting congress in ex-
ira session. The major thinks that an
extra session inadvisable and that con-
gress could not be well assembled. after
hearing from the four new states, be-
fore November LIST and then there
would be but four working weeks,
and that if by the death of Repub-
licans or the election of new members
the majority be with the Democrats. the
session, assume the responsibility for
their actions. while this would not be
the case in regular session. Mr.. Nc
Kinley returned home this evening.
Ex-senator Henry NJ. Davis, who was
to-day appointed delegate to the con-
gresS of American nations. was seen by
an associated press reporter. He
thinks it would be bad taste in him,
when not yet officially informed of his
appointment, to say whether he will
serve or not. Mr.. Davis has always, as
shown by his vote in the senate, be-
lieved that the United States could
well afford to be quite liberal in any
movement which would give the
United States more of the South Ameri-
can trade. Now the balance OF trade is
hOpeleSSly against us IN ratio of about
four to one. He thinks that rough cot
ton goods, provisions, manufactured
stuffs, agricultural implements and high
class mechanical devices used in the
arts. South America should get from US,
and other commodities, instead of going
to England to be reshipped to our sister
continent, should go direct. The $685.
600 appropriation of Cos. -eSS will be
spent in showing the visiting delegates
our resources, and this. the ex-senator
believes, will be conducive to good re-
suits. He intends making a thor
Ough study of all matters per-
tanning to the interests in this
vention, hence it would seem likely that
he will accept. The appointment of
Mr.. Davis is partly due to the presi-
dents knowledge of his positive views
as to the proper course the United
States should pursue. Charles r. Flint,
alto appointed delegate, is. like ex-
Senator Davis, Democrat. Besides
being a prominent merchant he is tho
roughly cOnversant with the Spanish
language. His knowledge of Spanish
will be useful in the coming convention,
and this was one of the reasons for his
appointment. As it now stands the
United States will be represented by
four Democrats and six Republicans.
Mr.. ClarksOn was at the Spencer cot
tage again to-day.

MINNEAPOLIS.
RETURNED TO LIFE.

The grain and warehouse commission
met Wednesday, and as result George
w. Marchant finds himself again In tho
employ OF the state. George was let
out from the Office of cheif weighmaster
at Minneapolis few months ago be-
cause he was too much tied up with the
McGill crowd. Neither preface nor
apology were used, and it looked
as though Marehant's time as
an otficenolder had come. But
the commission met in more mercifuI
state OF mind. 1t had read the accounts
OF the great wheat crop coming and
concluded the grangers could stand a
little more tribute in the way of salaries,
so it appointed Marchant assistant reg
istrar of wheat at Minneapolis, and s.
Bookwalter chief clerk in the registrars
Office. The important labor laid upon
the registrars office is to certify to wheat
in ftore. A single clerk has heretofore
done the work, but on account of the
bOunteful crops with which the Harrf
son administration has blessed the
country the duties or the registrars
office demanded the services of a man
who knows something about wheat and
a good deal about politics. If the
crops pan out much heavier a chief
registrar will have to be appointed
whose salary will be paid Indirectly by
the grangerS
