Free Whlskey.

A Southern Republican combine to
bulldoze Congress to repeal the internal
revenue is the political sensation at
the capital. 1t is freely admitted by
the Republican leaders that the South
ern men will have the whip hand in
the next House, and that whenever
they shall choose to go on q strike the
majority party will be crippled. 1t is
believed that in order to conciliate the
Southern men and to get them to stand
in with their Northern brethren, q Sc
rious effort will be made to wipe out
the entire internal revenue laws. So
serious is the Southern movement con-
sidered by the Republican managers
that, although President Harrison was
only an our in town to-day and had to
ia Ike lunch i'm that time and only saw
one of the Cabinent officer. he awarded
10 minutes conversation to II. Clay
Evans of Tennessee. Mr.. Evans was
in high glee when he left the Presid ent,
but refused to state the substance of
their conversation.
The Southern men, however, are as
serting without reservation tonight
that the President will recommend the
entire repeal of the internal revenue
laws in his message to Congress. This
IS considered very serious move on
on the part of the Republicans. 1t
was pretty well understood right along
that an effort would be made to repeal
the tobacco tax and Pickwickian at
tempt made to do away with the tax
on fruit hrandies in order to conciliate
the Virginians; but that the party
would go the whole hog and make
both tobacco aud whiskey free was not
seriously contemplated. In Blaine's
famous interview after President Cleve-
lands message ON the tariff, while he
pleaded eloquently for free chaw of
tobacco for the poor man, he was not
willing that the tax should be taken off
whiskey, as he said that was q moral
question. That the Northern Repub-
licans or any great number of them
are anxious to take the tax oil whiskey
is not the case, hut that they are bull
dozed by the Southern combine, with
out whose aid they could not make a
quorum of the House, is equally GER
tain. The Southern men see their op-
portunity and recognize their power.
They will work both for all they are
worth. There will be some lively
times in the next Congress, and Re-
publioans will no have all the fun.

"In Restraint of Trade"

AS might have been expected the
Chicago Beef Combine is much more
presumptuous and defiant since its
triumph over the stupid and blunder-
ing movement to regulate interstate
commerce and suppress the dressed
beef trade by State laws forhidding the
sale of beet not inspected alive within
the State.
The Post Dispatch foretold the judi
ciai decisions which have crushed that
| movement and the effect thereof in
fortifying the position of the Colossus
controlling the beef trade. Now we
have the spectacle of Uuited States
Senate Committee humbly waiting on
the combine at Chicago. only to be
treated with naughty contempt by its
members. who refuse to testify before
the committee. Mr.. Armour openly
declares this committee of Unite Sta tes
Senators unworthy of the respect of
such pIutocratic concern as he repre-
sents. He considers the affairs Of this
great coIeeEn strictly private matters
into which no Senate committee has a
right to inquire. and not fearing any
coercion from the present Senate he
says in actions, if not in words, ''The
committee and the public be d-d.u
Mr.. Armour is presuning toJ far and
making mistake. He cannot thus
suppress evidence OF the methods "in
restraint OF trade" by which the men,
Ders of his combine have gotten aud
now maintain their control of the cat
tie markets and the beef trade. All
we have to do is to supply the existing
defects of the common law with statutes
making an indictable offenss OF every
bargain or agreement by which oonl-
petition is suppressed in buying or SELL
ing, and the Chicago Combines CON-
troll OF the beef market will be brought
back to fairer basis for boil. producer
and consumer. In such orders 70
agents as that one about Schwab,
Armour &saco. have furnished evidence
of the need of such legislat tton-sevf-
dence which they cannot explain away
to any legislative committee. Post-

When Benefit Of Clergy is Desired.

From the indianapolis Sentinel
Long Island City is excited over the
fact that its particularly efficient POST
master has been removed to make
place for q notorious dead beat, and
this over the protest OF q large num-
Der of prominent Republicans and
personal letters from the clergy OF the
place. It Is strange that some people
cannot learn that there Is time for
all things. Under the Republican sys-
tenn the time for clergymen is before
elections and that the time for politi-
clans after elections. The Administra-
ton OF many prayers will get around
to the clergy three years from now, and
they will be expected to indorse the
whoever he may be. but
if 1t be Deacon Harrison.
Between campaigns ministers are ex-
pected to attend to religion, not poll
tics.

More PLAIN Talk,

Tariff reform meetings are being held
in Missouri in the absence of any gen.
eral organization. Senator F. M. Cock
rell and Congr essmen Bland, Tarsney
Mansur, Dockery aud Hatch have
cheerfully attended all meetings to
which they were invited in the absence
of any assignment by the State Central
Committee. Monday Senator Cock
reli commenced filling number of
appointments in the southern part OF
the State, and the congressman named
have been quite busy the last two
weeks. All the meetings held to date
have been quite well attended. and
there is every evidence that the people
are deeply interested in a fair discus
sion of the tariff.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee has not been as active as oppor-
tunitieg would warrant. If we speak
plain on this matter, it is 1t because
we doubt the good will and sincere in
tentions of the committee, but rather
that we dislike to see a golden oppor-
tunity to make thousands of Demo-
cratic votes slip 10y unimproved. The
pu bic men who are now addressing
immense tariff reform meetings in Mis-
souri, can bear testimony to the fact
that the Democratic press alone is re-
sponsible for awakening the people to
the necessity of tariff reform.
The disadvantage OfDemcrats trying
to organize in the middle of a campaign
has been explained often enough. Such
a plan can only prove successful under
Republican management when il is de-
termined.to purchase votes outright,
something after the policy pursued in
st. Louis last November. 1t is contrary
to Democratic doctrine to purchase
votes, and consequently the party must
RELY upon honest methods.
There never was time in the his
tory of the country when the oEpor=
tuBity to canvert voters to Democratic
doctrine was SO promising. We guar
antee the assertion that there Ia not a
orator in Missouri who will
to-day engage in joint debate on the
tariff issues with any of the prominent
orators who are now talk
ing tariff reform to citizens of the State.

Education on the Tariff Question.

Matters pertaining to Wool are IN a
bad, very bad condition in this coun-
try. There is plenty Of protection, both
its manufactured form. and yet no one
connected with wool in any shape
whatever is in that happy frame of
mind that belongs to the prosperous.
The wool raisers find the price of their
raw staple gradually declining, what
they get for it in the market being less
than the price they received before their
business was taken in hand as an in
fant industry and tariff clapped On for
its protection. AS to the wooden man
ufacturers, no class OF business people
could be more completely in the soup.
They are suspending or going under
the hammer of the sheriff in all parts
of the country. During the past month
Of August-aDd it wasn't a longer
month than Augusts usually are
more than dozen of the leading wool
en- manufacturing firms were forced
to stop business. Among them were
the Riverside and Oswego Mills; Sut-
toms wooden mill at North Andover,
Mass; Schepper Brothers worsted mill
in Philadelphia; Hutchison, Ogden &
Co., of MAnayunk; the Brunswick
Company, of Troy, \. Y; the Pioneer
Wooden Factory, ofSan Francisco; Da-
vid Crowthers & Sons woolen mill at
Germantown; Phoenix WoOlen Compa-
ny of East Greenwich r. L.; Thorndyke
Worsted Company, and Vaudermark
Brothers, WOODEN manufacturers of
Brookton, n. Y. All of these estab-
lishments were forced to stop business
because they could no longer go on
without the free raw material which
Grover Cleveland in his immortal
tariff reform message said Was abso-
lutely necessary for the success Of our
WOODEN manufacture.
Although distressing to the unfortu-
nate parties, there was ssomething laugh
able in the failure of Vandermark
Brothers at Brookton, n. Y. They
belonged to the class of business peo-
pie who last year got under the singu-
lar hallucination that ateverything would
go to the eternal hoW-wows if Harri-
son wasn't elected and the monopoly
tariff perpetuated. They worked bard
for Harrison and coerced their en-
ployes into voting the Republican tick
ct by saying that reduction of the
tariff would cause them to suspend
operations. While prominent Dem
ocratic campaign speaker was at
Rrookton last fall, to show the fallacy
of high tariff, one Of VaDdermark
Brothers called him q id liar for
preaching such an "absurd doctrine
After the meeting he made his way to
the platform and said: "Unless Har-
riscn is elected our firm cannot keep
running. = Democratic administration
will ruin u.s."
Vandermark Brothers have learned
a good deal more about the effect ofthe
tariff than they knew a year ago.
Quite a number of other people are
learning a great deal OF that subject.
In fact there never was such period
of tariff education. And Grover smiles
serenely as he thinks of the instruction
which the school that he opened In
1888 is Imparting to the people.-Bette-

Management of Incoming Cows.

The profit from a COW depends very
much upon the management for some time
previous to the calving, says the American
AgriculturiSt. The best cows are always
threatened by that usually fatal disease,
milk fever, unless care Is exercised to avoid
the danger The average COW which es-
capes this disorder needs equal care to Sc
cure the greatest product of milk for the
longest time; and in a business dairy where
the calf is to be raised, its value will depend
upon the manner in which the COW is man
aged. Docility is a considerable element in
the value of cow, and this is to be looked
to as much as large milk yield. 50 that
there are three important points to be con-
sidered-the safety of the COW which, from
her large development Of udder and her
rich milk yield, runs the most risk from the
reaction consequent upon the disturbance
of her system due to the calving; the judi
cious feeding of the COW whose system is to
be stimulated rather than depressed; and in
all cases the training of the calf for its fu-
ture usefulness. Heavy mixers should be
kept on spare diet for at least month pre-
vious to the calving. No grain should be
given. Good hay is sufficient at this sea-
son. Some COWS hold on to their milking
so persistently that it is difficult to dry
them of; but it should be done at least
three weeks before the time expires. 1t is
a great mistake to encourage the flow of
milk up to too late period, for the purpose
of boasting of the character of the cow
The frequency of milk fever with such
COWS is natures protest against this misuse
of the animal and the breach Of natural
laws. The flow of milk should be reduced
first by feeding only dry hay, and second by
partial milking only, always leaving some
milk in the udder, and gradually lessening
the quantity taken. If the COW has ever
been attacked by milk fever, occasional
doses of pound of EPSON salts will tend
to avert infammatory action which results
in this disease. To stimulate the average
COW, which is rarely in danger of this kind,
the food should be judicously regulated in
regard to her condition. If she is thin
bran mashes, or some cut roots with bran,
may be given with safety, but in no case
should corn meal, and still less cotton seed or
oil-meal, be fed. Good hay with three or
four pounds Of bran stepped in warm
water will be sufficient as a daily ration.
This fool for month previous to the calv-
ing will nourlsh the COW and very much
help the calf
