But for the defeat of Mr.. Blaine in
1854, this collector would have served out
his term and have been appointed for a
second term, which even at this day would
not have expired. This collector was re-
moved, however, by the Democratic adj
mlnistratiOn for his staunch Republican
ism, or, as II was termed, offensive par
tisanship."
Upon the return Of the Republicans TO
power il was widely believed that resto-

For Your Moulting Hens.

Moultlng II very exhausting process.
Eggs have not been so high for years at this
season as now; they will be still higher. Hens
rarely ever lay while moulting, then help them
TO get their new plumage quickly.
Many people get only five to six dozen eggs
In Il year from a hen and lose money when
they ought TO get three times that many and
make money rapidly. How: There are about
600 eggs In the oyaries Of hen; get all you
can OF them In two years then kill the hen.
You thus save two or three years feeding OF
the hen which Is no small Item II YOU buy all
the food. When hen is in condition" says
high poultry authority, ''she will lay plenty
of eggs" Therefore help her through the
moultfng season, that she may be in condition
TO lay during the winter. Thousands of peo-
pie have proven Sheridan's Condition ,wder
to be worth Its weight in gold when hens are
moulttng. 1t keeps them In health. helps form
the new plumage, and gets them In condition
to lay early. II you give them during the
moultng Sheridsn's Condition Powder daily
In extra doses, they will get TO laying much
sooner and lay all winter; larger, better and
more vigorous eggs for Matching than puliets.
But don't keep them a third year; get all the
eggs in two. Remember lSheriddn's Condi-
tom Potcder is not an egg food; you eda
raise or make food as chedplg as anu one.

Editorial Paragraphs.

1t should bring blush of shame to
the face Of those Democrats, who seeing
the failure OF the effort of their allies, the
New York SPECTATORS, to bring on fnan-
cial panic frustrated by the prompt actions
Of Secretary Window, now criticise that
oflcal for having gone too far in increas-
.ng the amount Of money in circulation
i; i just as well for Republicans not
to depend too much on rumors that the
Democratic Congressional campaign com
Mittee has no money and that it is doing
nothing towards capturing the next House.
There are reasons for believing that such
rumors are being actively circulated for
the express purpose Of throwing the Re-
publicans of their guard and inspiring
them with an over-confdence in the result
Of the November elections The Demo
Gratis have money in plenty, and will leave
no stone unturned 10 wrest the control of
the House from the Republicans
-Kilgore, the Texas high kicker, seems
70 have fellow feeling with the steers,
which roam the prairies of the big State.
He should in common decency go. among
ths steers to give vent 10 it.
That the Farmers Alliance Of North
Carolina, have found it necessary to take
steps looking to the establishment of a
cooperative school at Morehead City in
that state speaks volumes for the poor
condition Of their public schools. There
is not state controlled by the Republican
party, in which better educational facili-
ties are not furnished, TO all without pay
than can possibly be obtained, outside Of
the half-a-dozen expensive colleges, in the
Southern states for pay. When the south
ern voters are educated mere of them will
become Republicans.
Kicking open door has given Con-
gresham Kilgore greater reputation in
Texas than the display of the most COM
prehensive and patriotic craftsmanship
would have ever earned for him.
The man who on account Of some per-
sonal grievance or prejudice votes against
the political party which represents every
cardinal principle he believes in makes a
mistake, and one that never fails to come
home to roost at the most inconvenient
time.
Silver was worth 81 cents under the
Cleveland administration to-day it is
worth $l.l9. These are the sort of things
which have given the Republican party the
confidence of the business men of the coun-
try.
The value of the wheat, corn and oats
of the country has by enhanced prices had

Redeemed Pledges.

Congress adjourned last week. after a
session in which more work has been done
than in any previous session for MANY
years. With Democratic majority in the
House OF Representatives Congress had
become notorious as a do-nothing body.
Two years ago the people elected Repub-
llcan majority in the House. That MAORI
ty has handsomely redeemed the pledges
of its party platform in the session Just
closed, and points with pride at the record
1t has made. Among the important meas
ures passed by this Congress may be men
toned the following:
The Tariff Bill.
The Silver Bill.
The Antitrust Bill.
The Customs Administrative Bill.
The Pension Bill.
The Anti-Lottery Bill.
The W ord's Fair Bill.
The Meat Inspection Bill.
The Bill for Admission of Wyoming and
Idaho
The Naval Bill Authorizing the New Bat
tie Ships.
The "Original Package" Bill
Moreover in this list there is hardly q
measure which has not been passed in the
face of the most stubborn opposition on
the part Of the Democrats, who have tried
in every possible way to defeat legislation
Such filibustering never was known be-
fore, and it would have been impossible to
do anything against it had it not been for
the change in rules, and the adoption of
what are sometimes called Reeds rules. -
Certainly Reed deserves large share of
credit for their adoption. Had it not been
for the vigorous efforts which be has made
to have these rules adopted, the deter
