A Comprehensive Document.


The inaugural address of President HarH-
son is one of the most comprehensive and
satisfactory of the utterances of its class. 1t
touches on most of the subjects of broad
National concern, and it touches them in a
lucid, vigorous and gratifying manner. 1t
points out the benefits which have resulted
from the diversifcation of the country's in
dustries which the tariff has made possible
favors more searching inquiry into the
character and disposition of immigrants
condemns the efforts of corporations and
combines" to violate the statutes in their
own interests, advocates reform in our
election laws, outlines the interest which
the Nation has in the preservation of the
freedom of the ballot throughout our whole
domain, suggests an extension of the Civil
Service laws, and appeals for more gener-
GUS treatment for the veterans of the Union
and their widows and orphans.
The most interesting questions dealt with
by the inaugural were the surplus prob
lem, the attitude to be preserved toward
the South, and the foreign policy to be pur-
sued The President would have the rev.
enues reduced so that there will be no sur
plus after providing for the ordinary and
extraordinary demands for expenditures
which can be foreseen, but this reduction
he would have made in such a way that no
important protected industry should be in
iured In speaking of the Southern ques-
ton he makes it plain that he is opposed to
any different treatment for one section of
the country than that which is accorded to
all other sections

FOUR NEW STATES.
How They Will Strengthen the Republican
Representation in Congress.

How They Will Strengthen the Republican
Representation in Congress.
The bill for the admission of North
and South Dakota, Washington and
Montana as States, makes their final
admission dependent on the procla-
nation of the President. President
Cleveland had the approval of the bill
providing for the admission, and Pres
ident Harrison will have the issuing
of the proclamation. No doubt it will
give him particular pleasure to pro-
claim the admission of Dakota, which
he advocated SO ably while in
the Senate and chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories. If no unexpect-
ed delay occurs in the proceedings the
Territories will all be admitted within
sixty or ninety days after President
Harrison's Inauguration, and in ample
time to enable them to be represented
in the Fifty-fr5t Congress. There will
be eight United States Senators to
elect and several members of the lower
House. At the election last fall Da-
kota, Montana and Washington all
elected Republican delegates to Con-
gress and Territorial Legislatures.
The Republican plurality in Dakota
was 27,056, in Montana 4.97S, and in
Washington 1871. North Dakota cast
1920 Republican votes, and 1891
Democratic. South Dakota cast 80. 326
Republican votes and "a, 759 Dem
ocratic. The present Territorial Legis-
lature in Dakota stands on joint ballot
81 Republicans, Democrats and
Prohibitionists. Montana cast II, $50
Democratic votes and o. Repub-
lican, and the Territorial Legislature
stands q Republicans to 9 Democrats.
Washington cast 90, 291 Republican
votes and IS, 92O Democratic, and the
Legislature stands 80 Republicans to
Democrats. These figures show de-
cided Republican majorities in all the
Territories at present, and unless a very
remarkable and unexpected change
occurs within the next few months
they will elect almost solid Repub-
lican delegations to Congress. The
recent change of front by the Dem
ocrats on the question of admitting the
Territories was made with view OF
counteracting the unpopularity of their
former course of exclusion. The
overwhelming Republican victory in
the Territories last fall warned them
that if they expected to save any thing
out of the wreck and have even
fighting chance for one or two Con-
gressmen after the Territories became
States, they must abandon their pol
icy of opposition to admission. In
finally Withdrawing their opposition
they simply yielded to the inevitable,
and it is not likely their eleventh
hour conversion will do them much
good.-Indianapolis Journal.

CORN-EARS COOKED.
A New Wrinkle Which Is Becoming Quite
Popular in the East.

A New Wrinkle Which Is Becoming Quite
Popular in the East.
1t has been my pleasure to observe
from its inception a new way of feed
ing corn to fattening cattle-new in
this locality at least. The corn is
simply boiled on the cob an hour or
less, and then fed in the ear. If boiled
too long the kernels will drop of, and
this is to be avoided. Boiling softens
both kernels and cob. and consequently
both are easily masticated, and the
animals eat it as easily as corn on the
cob when in the milky state. 1t has
been found that give the cattle all they
will eat they will neither scour nor
cloy. Not an indigested kernel is
found in their droppings, and these
smell like that of a sucking calf. When
fed dry and whole, whether on the cob
or off, considerable portion of the
grain passes away entire, and this is
usually dead loss, and it is so with
raw meal, whether clear or corn-and-
cob meal, if the animals are fed high
with it, and it is also quite liable to
scour or cloy. The saving by this pro-
cess is ten per cent. for grinding, be-
sides the trouble of going to mill, and
a very large saving in the fact that
every particle of the nutriment is ap-
propriated by the animals.
The claim of advocates of corn-and-
cob meal, that it gives desirable bulk.
whether the cob contains nutriment or
not, can here find full satisfaction, es-
pecially as it has been ascertained by
measurement that three bushels of dry
corn in the ear make four when boiled.
The feeder under consideration claims
saving of at least thirty per cent.
adding: mo more dry corn for me, if
YOU please, for any kind of stock" His
cattle do better on much less grain
than when fed dry. In the West, where
corn is low and cattle are fed out of
doors, with hogs to follow them, boil
ing the corn would be no object, but in
the East, where conditions are differ
ent, l regard it of almost vital i'm
portance. This experience is sugges-
tive that old horses and cows with
Door teeth, or no teeth at all, would
thrive upon boiled corn. for they could
crush the cob with their bare jaws,
and, once into the stomach, all would
digest. With my opportunities for
observation-the process being carried
on within fifty rods of my own door
and knowing its value as do. 1 shall
expect to see the system adopted by
many careful feeders.-Galen Wilson.

Keen Your Cows Clean.

Nothing looks much worse than a
cow covered with manure, a statement
that we will all agree with. For looks
sake the COW should be cleaned off.
But that is not all of it by any means.
Some of the filth is pretty apt to get
into the milk pail and if it does its
effect can never be got out. There is
in some quarters an apparent idea that
the strainer cleanses milk. 1t will hold
the foreign particles that may be in it,
but of course it can not remove the
flavor that they had impaired, and the
milk absorbs flavor the moment it
comes in contact with it, and it is
there to stay. The cow should be kept
as clean as she may be by brushing.
When the weather is warm enough she
can be more thoroughly cleaned by the
use of water. We would not advise its
use however in cold weather even in a
warm stable. There are plenty of
COWS that are so covered with filth that
the average customer would never buy
her milk if he could see the cow

Genuine Ciyil-service Reform.

An important feature in the message, and
that which is most liable to attract atten-
ton, is the reference to civil offices These
constitute stumbling block in the way of
every President and every head of depart
mint The object of the CiviI-Service law
was to remove this and improve the public
service. The law has never been honestly
enforced, and consequently the principle
has not been respected 1t will be observed
that President Harrison is firm believer in
the principle and proposes to enforce the
law, and the special paragraph in his mes
sage in that connection may be accepted as
notice accordingly to all concerned He
does not propose to eat devils broth" all
the time, if he can help it, and he will Try to
help it This is precisely what Harrison

terest and their labor as much as pos
sible and build up healthy industry
and healthy competition in every de-
partment. To do this we must con-
tinue to give reasonable protection tc
our infant or youthful industries
1t is said that New England has
made immense sums of money and
grown very rich by the benefits OF
protection in manufacturing. If New
England has made enormous sums o.
money by her manufacturing indus
tries, and the South, as will be ad
mitted, has a more genial climate,
more water-power, and more coal fol-
steam purposes, with immensely
greater natural resources than New
England. why should not the South
initiate the example of New England
and move forward energetically and
grandly on the same line until she
has accumulated much greater wealth
than New England has been able tc
amass up to this period?
New England manufacturers may
have not only grown rich, but her
manufacturing establishments in towns
and cities have also enriched her agri.
cultural population by affording 9
ready home market for their produc.
tons at the highest price, and very
greatly enhancing the value of THEN
plantations and other real estate. In.
stead of sitting down and complaining
that our neighbors are growing rich,
let us adopt the same line of policy
that has made them rich, and press
forward until we have built up our
own section in wealth and power as
one of the most favored in the United
States.
think 1 may safely say that no Sec
ton of the Union is making as rapid
strides in development and in the es.
tablishment of factories of all char
acters as the Southern States.
Without the protection afforded by
the tariff laws, this rapid develop
ment would have been impossible.
Therefore no section of the Union has
been for a number of years or is likely
to be as much benefited by protection
as the Southern section. No section
has so much dependent upon the con-
tinuation of protection for its future
prosperity and development. From a

One Law for All the Land.



Those who have expected the President to
make a special topic or treatment of the
Southern question" are fortunately disap-
pointed He makes the important declara-
ton that he has altogether rejected the
suggestion of a special executive policy for
any section of our country" He holds the
just and equal enforcement of
law to be the true policy for
all sections of the country. He does not adj
wise any new departure, and will not at
tempt any new methods, but he will
endeavor to see that the constitu-
ton and laws are enforced Here, again,
he puts very happily, in few words,
the reciprocal duty of the people
and the Government: "As a citizen may
not elect what laws he will obey, neither
may the Executive elect which he will en-
force" The President will not evade the
duty Of enforcing any law, and he urges
with unanswerable force the duty of good
citizens to obey them all The Presidents
Southern policy is the same as his Northern
policy, that of enforcing the laws. No per-
son can object to this policy except violators
of law, and they are not good constitu
tional advisers. The central idea of all that
is said relative to Southern affairs is that
the Southern people themselves are su-
premefy interested in the material develop
ment of the South, and as a means to this
end should aid in the enforcement of law.

A Very Wise Omission.
IChicago journal. !


There was nowhere a hint of the single
term principle in President Harrison's in
augural address, and the omission, to speak
after the Milesiaa manner, was its best feat
ure. 1t will be time enough to approach
the second-term question three years from
now, when the Republican party shall begin
to discuss the matter of its candidates for
1S92, and when President Harrison shall
have been long enough in Office to know
whether he wants another term or not.
Cleveland's one-term pledge, the violation
of which he never defended nor even eX-
planned, had a tendency 10 bring all such
immature and insincere and inconsiderate
pledges into discredit As he who comes
out of the battle with credit may boast of
what he has done, while it is unOecoming in
one entering a battle TO boast of what he
will do. so pledge hy n Presidential candi-
date or by President Just sworn into office.
as to what he will do or will not do three
years afterward, is idle; and recent history
has not had tendency to give such pledges
solemnity or to make them the subject of
public credulity.
The country expects from President Har-
rison a moderate, vet vigorous-a con-
sentative, vet progressive and patriotic
administration. If he shall fulfill the homes
now conferred in him, the country will de
mand his reelection, and no candidate can
stand in his way for the Republican nomi-
nation nor before the people at the ballot
box If he shall create feeling of friend
ship and reciprocal confidence among the
people OF all classes at the South-if he
shall promote a solution of the race prob
lem, and shall convince the whites of the
South that all their interests their political
condition and their social structure are as
secure under Republican as under Demo
cratic rule, the South will demand as
earnestly as the North that he shall be a
candidate for second term
1t is doubtless ahso true that if he shall
consciously satisfy the popular demands in
the main as TO administrative measures-if
he shall see the fruits of his labor growing
and upening under his hand-if he shall
md that his measures promote the public
good and meet with popular approval-if
his policy for the next three years shall
prove to be partially successful and shall
give promise of complete success he will
naturally desire to serve another term in

been called but which viii be still incom-
plete, to confirm and establish the results

The corn plant is gross feeder.
and the land can not be made too rich.
-Cranberries, like apples, should be
used plentifully in the family. They
are not very costly, the supply in this
country is so great.
Cut out the canes from raspberries
literally and cut them low down. Too
many canes in hill will not produce
as well as a few strong and stocky
ones.
Only sharp scissors should be used
In trimming lamp-wicks if an even,
clear flame is wanted. The wick
should not be cut below the charred
portion, but just at the point of change.
What is wanted to make farming
successful is men who have ambition
to make their calling honorable. To
do that. a man must know all that can
be known about his business and be
able to do it.
Because they increase rapidly and
can, with good management, be made
to mature in short time, good hogs
will help out farmer who has got be-
hind financially better than any other
class of live stock.-Swineherd.

The apple crop is the one that
needs most care in handling to make
it profitable. This is contrary to Gus
tom, but is correct. Apples should be
handled like eggs and carefully sorted
into their grades; the first for market,
the second for sale as second grade or

for preserving shingles, and for all
farm purposes.

not have them swell the great army of

must see to it that they acquire habits
of self-help and self-dependence while

A Good Word for the Cabinet.
[Chicago Tribune.1

The Cabinet as whole is intended for ad-
ministrative rather than political functions
The President manifestly had high sense
of his obligations to the country and his
duty to the public service. There is no
member of the Cabinet concerning whose
ability, or integrity, or cheerful desire to do
his whole duty by the President and the
people We need have the least concern.
While it may be said that half of the Cabi-
net is untried in public life, the selection of
the other half is full of promise and suffi-
GENTLY indicates that the President will not
be without safe and experienced counsel

The Work of a Patriot.
IChicago Tribune.1

lCnicago TrlDune.l
The inaugural address of President Harr-
son is a modest, thoughtful, well written
and dignified document, and, as might have
been expected, is characterized by the
patriotic sentiment of National Unionism
AS compared with the inaugural message of
his predecessor there viii be found less of
the writer's personality-less ego-and less
disposition to impart ethical instruction to
the people. 1t is of moderate length, and
yet affords ample opportunity to touch upon
the questions which are of conspicuous Ma
tionalimportance, and to make several sug-
gestions which are in consonance with the
principles of the Republican party, and
which, if needed, will make for the adj
vantage of the whole country.
1t Is well written, thoughtful in its
character and dignitied in its tone. 1t is in
refreshing contrast with Mr.. Clevelands
inaugural, in that it does not abound in
promises destined to be unfulflled In a
certain sense 1t is non-committal as to de-
tail but its general tone is unmistakable.
There is much it does not say, but what it
does say is clear and direct and no one can
mistake its meaning. Its patriotism and
Unionism are manifest at every point Its
Americanism is unquestioned The whole
people can read it without any feeling that
they are being lectured Republicans can
read it without the surprise of finding that
the President is bigger than his party
Politicians of all sorts can read it with no
illumination on their part as to his personal
views of the dangers of a second term.
