There are several farmers in this
vicinity who propose to go into the
sheep raising business EXCLUSIVELY.
They say this branch of husbandry
is more remunerative than any for
certain sections of the country.
While we would not advise sheep
raising altogether by the farmers we
concur in the above opinion that in
many sections of the country the
natural conditions are more condu-
Give to it than to any other means of
utilizing the soil. We have hopes
of seeing Monongalia become great
sheep raising locality. The matter
has never been encouraged sufficient
ly, but by a few private expert
ments the plan has been demonstra.
ted to satisfy doubters of its feast
bility. The price of wool at the pres
ent, even, is not, thing to be con
sidered. The real thing to consider
is sheep raising in comparison with
ether branches of farming

In the Republican convention OF
Pennsylvania last Wednesday Mr.
Henry X. Boyer, Of Philadelphia
was nominated for treasurer. The
convention was in favor of high Ii
censc, improved roads, Endorsed Tan
ner and said protection was the cor.
ner stone of success. There's only
one of those principles we take any
stock in and that is the action in
regard to improving roads. Here is
platform of the convention
To republicans of Pennsylvania
in convention assembled, submit the
follwing platform:

republican party received the in
dorsementzof the people at the polls

them the Keystone State set apart
the seal of her approval by $4,000
majority. With renewed emphasis
we reaflirm those cardinal principles,
and again submit them to the cleo

probation.

The Farmer. surplus.

Not only from this county, but
from nearly all sections of the coun-
try the word comes that this has
been the most productive season the
farmers have ever known.
There has been no time since the
beginning of the spring season when
we have needed rain. There is no
crop yet garnered that has not been
abundant as the ground was capable
of producing. The grass crop was
simply enormous; the wheat and
oats we're equally SO; and now the
corn has only to ripen to make the
most abundant yield we have ever
known.
A Monongalia farmer remarked
the other day, that if everything is
saved that the farms produced this
year there will be more stuff than
can be used. The farmers will now
have question of surplus with
which to deal. A surplus in the
national treasury and surplus on
the farms are the unmistakable evil
dences Of very prosperous country.
We presume that our Monongalia
farmers will bring in cattle enough
to eat up the extra food on the farms
We cannot compete with the West
in raising grain and hay, and hence
the only way we can dispose profita-
bly, of surplus of these products is
to put them in the form of beef.
We congratulate our farmers on
the prosperity which has come to
them not only from the productive
season, but from the money and bust
ness which the development of our
oil territory is hrinoinU them

The nomination for governor of
Virginia on the Republican ticket is
the fullness of an empty honor, but
Malone is fighting for it in great
shape and his efforts will very likely
be successful. All that we need to
say is that Malone will never be the
governor Of Virginia, not at least
till he fIops.

Judge from Mondays vote, it has
strengthened it. The reform senti-

a matter in which all public spirited

Two MONSTER Russian guns have
been sent to Sebastopol for the pur-
pose of being placed in the new iron
clad Sinope, and although some Of the
details must be inaccurate, the official
description is too interesting to be ig'
nored. They are Pinch pieces,
weighing so tons, and throwing pro-
jectiles of nearly half ton The
powder charge is go pounds, and the
initial velocity 5000 meters, while the
distance of the lannon's ranges is said
to be 20 versts, or over ID miles. As a
consequence the fire of the guns can
only be directed by the map, the OBJ
ject fired at being out of sight. Two
men, however, suffice for each gun,
as they are worked by hydraulic ma

Tariff RefOrnner5.

Boston, MASS, March 13.-The Massa-
chusetts Tariff Reform league issued an ad-
dress of which the following are the princi-
pal points. "The defeat of the policy of
tariff reduction shows the need of further
enlightenment of the people in regard to the
real effects of the existing tariff. The
league will advocate free raw materials az
the practical objective point for future effort.
Special efforts will be made to show the
farmers he fallacies by which they have
been deceived. Competent speakers have
volunteered their services. Joint debates
will be arranged wherever possible. Our
congressman will be invited to explain why
they have sacrificed the interests of New
England to the greed of Pennsylvania.
Those of our manufacturers who petitioned
against fec raw materials will be given an
opportunity to defend their petition. The
league is non-partisao, and asks the CO.
operation of tariff reformers in both parties.
The wealthy few who imagine they have
bought the right to fatten upon the abuses
of the tariff without fear of further mole tia
ton, are reminded that the tariff question
cannot be settled at all until it is rightly
settled" The signers are Henry l.. Pierce,
william Lloyd Garrison, Josiah Quincy and
John F. Andrews.
