WHY THEY DID IT.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The thousands who prefer to be call
ed Republicans, and who voted against
Governor Foraker did it on account of
the Sunday law agitation hundreds
did it for personal reasons. So we record
a special combination against the Gov
ernor of those citizens styled by the
righteous who would prefer to model
the State of Ohio on ancient Connecti-
cut, "The Dutch" and also the Dudes.
The latter is new style of animal in
Ohio politics. He is largely composed
of cuffs and collars and cigarettes. -.
No, it Weso not tIio ooloonists Who won
the Democratic victory in this county,
though they will claim it furiously, and
use their power to the uttermost, but it
was the Sunday crusade, which applied
not only to the saloons, but was extend
ed to baseball, ice cream, soda water,
and seemed to be threatening the milk
wagons.

MERIT WINS.

We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, Dr.
Kings New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica
Salye and Electric Bitters, and have never
handled remedies that sell as well, or that
have given such universal satisfaction.
We do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time, and we stand ready to refund
the purchase price, if satisfactory results
do not follow their use. These remedies
have won their great popularity purely
on their merits. Patterson Il Sons.

THE result in Ohio is not an agreeble
thing for Republicans to contemplate,
yet it presents no cause for party gloom.
Governor Foraker is young man, as
elastic in politics as he is buoyant in per-
sonal spirits. There are further hOnors
and usefulness in store for him, we be-
lieve, and we are confident that the
State itself will return to its political
anchorage in safe Republican waters at
the earliest opportunity.-Neao York

Sugar Trust and the Organiza-
ton.

Western Rural: The first of Deem
Der has been set as the date when we
shall stop the use of sugar for awhile,
say sixty or ninety days. 1t is needless
to say that the trust cannot stand it sixty
days or probably thirty. We are &C
customed to think that trusts are backed
by an immense amount of capital, and
they are. But it IS not true that they are
able to stand boycott, Notwithstanding
they possess SO much capital. Trusts
are composed of individual corpora
tons, some of them strong and some of
them weak. When an industry is
trusted no new capital is put into the
business. 1t is true that the trusts
issues bonds and sells them, but that
money does not go into the several
branches of the business. 1t is pocketcd
by the managers of the trust, and prices
are put up so that they will provide
handsome dividends to the original
stockholders of the several plants that
have entered into the scheme. and also
furnish good dividends upon the stock
that the trust issues. Now if the public
refuses to buy the products of the trust
the individual corporations, in the very
large majority of instances, would be
forced to the wall, and with that result
the trust must collapse. We believe
that thirty days boycott of the sugar
trust, though one of the most powerful
in the land, would down it.
1t must be understood, however, that
it must be general boycott, and in or
der to have it general we must induce all
the newspapers who dare, or have
enough principal to come on the side of
the people to do so, and the several
farmers organizations must take i'm
mediate steps to induce their members to
cooperate. The Alliance, Grange, +.
Al. b. A, the Laborers Union and the
Patrons of Industry should move at
once in the matter Organization lis
just for such purposes. It is to enter
upon practical measures and push them
at every opportunity.

The Worlds Fair.

St. Louis is making most strenuous
and valiant effort to secure the holding
of the Worlds Fair at that city III 1872.
The authorities of the city guarantee q
fund of 5000, 900, if 1t should be To-
Gated there. When We take into con-
sideration the scope and aim OF the
Worlds Fair, the absolute necessity Tor
a central location in order to meet the
demands of all sections OF the country,
and to insure the national and financial
success of the enterprise, we are I'M

the city Of ST. Lruis. The position OF
the CITY is more central and more con

than either New York, Washington or

States of the Interior, and ii commands
the very best facilities for tranSpOrta-
ton from all points Of the Continent.
1t is a fact based upon and demonstrated
by public statistics that a larger Popu-
lation and 4 far greater mileage OF rail-
road exist within L circle Of five hun
dred miles of ST. Louis than can be
found under the same conditions IN con-

Shall We Kill Them, or Let
Them Live?

We presume most of our readers are
familiar with the Webster -woOdchuck
story: 'Zekr had caught in Il trap a
woOdchuck that had been destroying
patch of beans. Daniel said Let the
wOOdchuck go. he does more good than
harm on the place by eating worms and
various kinds of insects" but Zeke said
"No, I'm going to kill the thief But
it was finally agreed that their father
should act as Judge and the two boys,
Dan and 'Zeke, should argue the case be-
fore hun, 'Zeke made his argument in
favor of killing the wOodchuck and
good one it was too, for Ezekiel was a
brilliant boy and bebame Il brilliant law
yer. Then Daniel, who in after years
Was.-nat1ed the 'Godlike,' made his
pea IN favor Of sparing the life OF the
woodchuck, and so powerful was the
argument, that the judge instantly rem
de1ed his decision in these words:
"Zeke, let that woodchuck GO
The above story was called to mind by
reading the following in relation to the
prairic-squirrel:
Mr.. c. P Gillette, of the Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station, aftera study Of the
food habits of the prairie-squirrel, as
shown hy examining the contents OF
their stomachs, reaches the following
conclusion: Insects, almost exclusively
injurious species-chief among which
seem to be cut-worms, web-wOrms and
shoppers-constitute large proper
ton of the food of the "stripe squirrel"
They seem to prefer insects TO grass,
clover and other green stuff.
1t seems certain that the squirrels
must be a decided benefit to lawns,
meadows and pastures. If ground con-
tanning cut-wOrms, webwOrms and Wire
worms is to be turned over to corn, the
more squirrels that can be harbored up
On it, up to planting-time, the less will
the crop be damaged by these insects.
1t is question, all things considered,
whether they really do more harm than
good. Most of the harm is strikingly
noticeable and is of short duration,
while the good is perpetual, from spring
to fall, but it is no way noticeable and
cannot be estimated.

A'N' = WV erS slopes SO gently
to the waters edge that at high tide the eme-
raid turf seems TO hang over and INTO the
salt surf All the commanding knobs ON
each side are crowned with pretty residences,
over all is the deep blue sky, and the air is just
warm enough to be deliciously balmy.
When, therefore, the easy gliding steamer
moved out at | p. III. over harOor surface
smooth and CLASSY as that OF all unruffled IN
land lake we naturally anticipated "a love or
a ride" to Charlottetown. Down the harbor
the shores on both sides gradually lowered till
they disappeared entirely and we were out
in Northumberland straits, with the bold and
rocky shores of Cape Breton far to the east
And the wind WAS evidently rising.
We had splendid party aboard. There was
a little group OF tourists from Massachusetts,
who had Just made the rounds Of Cape Bre-
ton island and were warm in their praise OF
its scenery, its sea in the middle of the land,
its curious narrow inletS. its picturesque
shoes, ull,;il. old towns AMI their interest

few Prince Edwards Islanders going home
from the Halifax midsummer carnival snli-
inr rraveiy in the manner of the proVlnclalS

There were haif a dozen Americans of the
west and south, at least one Journalist, and,
of course, two or three 'drummers."
And it was now evident that the wind was
blowing a small gale; the spray dashed over
the bow, and we formed a social party on
the after deck for jokes, laughter and poll
tics. First it was Canada VS.. the United
States, then Indiana VS.. Massachusetts,, North
VS.. South and Democrat vs.. Republican. Our
spirits swelled high-there was unbounded
hilarity-we even essayed o little melody
life on the ocean wave, sing heigho, aloft
and allow, and all that sort of thing, while
every minute the waves mounted higher.

ted with pretty white farm houses and inter
laced by crystal streams. The tide was at
it's highest, and the mud fats and rocky
shores were concealed: SO it seemed that the
rank grass grew and the thrifty cattle grazed
even to the waters edge. And day or two
of rambling about the island only added to
the charm Of first impressions; the contrast
between rocky Cape Bretons and pastoral
Prince Edwards as one sails by is more than
maintained by the fertile interior.
Prince Edwards Island is indeed the gem
Of the North Atlantic. The smallest of the
Canadian provinces, it is little more than
twice the size of the smallest of the United
States, Rhode Island, and it has scarcely
rood of waste land. Earth, air and water
combine to make it gem; the soil, of mixed
red sand and black loan, can be fortified to
any degree and at trifing expense by the
unused mud" of which every inlet contains
q deposit; the summer climate is delightful
and the winters are not very cold, while the
ocean on all sides abounds in fish. Drought
and destrt. tive rains are alike unknown;
in conversation with the farmers one hears
complaint only of 'cold fogs" and the sleet
of early winter. The spring is delayed by
the ice, which piles upon the northern coast
and chokes Northumberland straits till #
forms natural bridge, so there is no growth
till the season is SO far advanced that frosts
are not feared.
Walking among the farms I was often sur
prised at the rank growth of pea vines, like
q low topped jungle, and was informed that
this island claims superiority over all other
places in that line; ''and as to potatoes" said
my informant, ''lazy people can plant 'en
with a board and dig 'em with their feet and
get fair crop, the soil is SO loose" The
island also excels in live stock, and every far
mer reminds you that Prince Edwards

forget which, took the highest premium in

PARLIAMENT HOUSE, FREDERICTON, N. B.
From rural jaunt returned in time to
call on the governor. The palace" is in a
lovely grove in the suburbs of Charlotte
town, on a knoll overlooking the bay, and all
the surroundings are quite English'-a
lodge" at the front gate, with nice old
woman in charge; n heavily shaded avenue,
a broad hall with baronial appearance and a
general air of solemn repose. But Lieutenant
Governor Macdonald is Scotch, and Gaelic
at that, though native of the island, and
Premier Sullivan Is Irish-both Catholics
Listening to Governor Macdonald's pleasant
talk about the United States was good
''outside view to me. 1t was a striking
proof Of the truth that we of the United
States do not see ourselves as others, and
very intelligent people, too, see us. Those
things which we would say ought to interest
our neighbors do not interest them at all, and
the dangers they see confronting us are the
dangers we seldom think Of.
Governor Macdonald did not think it worth
while to ask me about the southern ques
ton" and the future of the negroes, or ''plu-
tocracy," and tariff and trusts-nOt at all.
But he was very sure there is too much
unbelief and divorce in the United States, too
much demagoguery and too little Bible read
ing; that the ballot is too free and that there
is altogether too little condemnation of GER
tain secret societies. And although he is
perfect gentleman he conveyed very plainly
his opinion that if we did not stop educating
the head without equal culture of the moral
nature, and condoning such things as the
Cronin murder, the United States will ere
long find themselves in bad way And this
leads me to mention as worthy or note
the large number of Irishmen who locate in
Canada and become ardent supporters of the
Dominion government, intensely loyal, one
may say; Premier Sullivan, for instance,
with whom had brief chat. And the la
mented Thomas Darcy MCGEE, who is re-
garded as martyr to Canadian nationality.
And, what is more to the purpose, the Irish
of Canada are not the anuexationists; they
are perfectly content to remain British citi-
gems, and as to holding office, they are just as
patriotic as the Irish in New York.
The population of the United States has in
creased, possibly, twenty-five fold since the

One would say there could be no variations
of climate in SO small All area but thexs are.
The floating ice of early winter takes q turn
westward from the mouth Of the st. Law.
renee and comes down heavy on the northern,
the concave, side of the island. After piling
up there 1t drifts into the straits, and they
are often so well frozen over that iceboats
cross to the mainland of New Brunswick.
Navigation, therefore, closes In December,
while the harbor of st. Johns, but a few
miles south, is open all winter, and for the
same reason the southern prong of this island
has a much milder climate than the nor
