THE Democrats will begin fierce
assault upon the Mckinley act immedi-
ately upon the opening of the coming
session of Congress, but they should not
receive any aid from the Republicans,
no matter if some of the latter may not
think the act wholly satisfactory. Now
when the act is suffering from misrepre-
sentation and has just begun its exist
ence, is no time to condemn it, and
replace it with another. 1t must be
given fair trial. In a year or so from
now we shall know how many articles
whose prices have been recently ad-
vanced had their values affected by the
new tariff rates and what prospects there
are for decrease in prices that were
advanced by the new tariff by means
of competition between home manu-
factures fostered by the new act. When
the new act has been given fair trial
then should the Republicans consider
whether to have new one take its
place, but not till then, says the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette.

GOOD NEws.-We want every mother
to know that Group can be prevented.
True Group never appears without a
warning. The first symptom is hOarse-
ness, then the child appears to have a
cold or a cold may have accompanied the
hoarseness from the start. After that a
peculiar rough cough is developed, which
a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy would prevent the attack. Even
after the rough cough has appeared, the
disease may be prevented by using this
remedy as directed The only safe way
is to keep 50cent bottle of the Rene
dy in the house for use whenever symp-
toms of the disease appear. For sale by

CAN we raise our own wool? The
american Wool Reporter will take the
stand and testify:
The agent of large knit goods mill
in the vicinity of Troy, N. Y, went to
New York recently and took with him
two sample shirts. One was made from
Australian secured wool which cost
seventy-five cents per pound, the other
from fine Nevada secured wool. He
called on large importing house, con-
sidered good experts on knit goods. He
placed the garments before them, and
after examining the two shirts they both
pronounced that in feel and finish the
garment made from the Nevada wool
was the better and more valuable.

DEMOCRATIC storekeepers in Major
McKinley's district are now selling their
goods OF lower rates. The scare about

purpose, it will now be relegated to the
background in company with the Morey

cratic campaign material.

THE Boston Transcript which is de-
cidedly independents and not a strict high
tariff paper, calls attention to the state
ment of gentleman closely identified
with the woolen business that $5,000,-
900 in new money will be put into
new wooden manufacturing machinery,
plants, and the like, within the next few
months as result of the stimulus given
to the business by the new tariff law.
This is good news and shows that the
much maligned Mckinley law is begin
ming to prove its value, as has been
repeatedly predicted, and augurs well
for the country's prosperity under it.

FARM AND GARDEN.
RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN sCIENTIF-
CULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION
THE CABBAGE APHIS AND ITS
HISTORY-WATERING MILK
FOR CREAM RAISING.

Next to the cabbage worm the worst
insect enemy of the cabbage is the
aphis, or plant -louse, which is so often
found upon the leaves and in the heads
in great numbers. This is small, blu
ish white insect, that subsists upon the
sap of the plant, and multiplies with
great rapidity. Like most of the peeu-
liar family TO which it belongs, this in
sect has the power, not common among
insects, of bringing forth living young,
but with most of those that have been
carefully studied there is in the fall
sexual generation by which the true eggs
are laid, and in this egg state most of
them pass the winter. But although the
cabbage aphis has been known both in
Europe and America for more than a
century, the sexual generation has nev-
er heretofore been found, and eutomolo-
gists did not know where or when the
eggs were laid, or how the insect pass
ed the winter. Recent investigations,
ment Station by DR.. G. NJ. Werd, has
shown conclusively that the sexual gen.
Grafton develop late in the autumn on
the cabbage, and that the eggs are laid
on the cabbage leaves. The true male
is small winged creature, with more
slender body than the other winged
forms. The egg-laying female has no
wings, and is pale green in color.
This discovery of the fact that the in
sect passes the winter in the egg state
on the cabbage leaves has an important
economic bearing. 1t suggests as one
of the best ways of preventing the in
juries of this pest, the destruction dur
ing winter of the old cabbage leaves
with the eggs upon them, instead of
leaving them undisturbed until spring,
as is too often done.
WATERING MILK FOR CREAM RAISING.
The Cornell University Experiment
Station has made series of experiments
in setting milk for cream raising by
different methods, the result of which,
as summarized in bulletin No. 20 of
that station are as follows:
III OlCNCut VI HlClC JhO hlAAh h1o
set in the Cooley creamer with ica
water, at temperature of A degrees,
the average per cent. of fat in the skim
milk was %.
In eleven trials where milk was diluted
with an equal weight of cold water and
set in the open air, the average per cent.
in the skim milk was 1.39.
In six trials, where milk was diluted
with 20 and 50 per cent. of cold water,
the average per cent. of fat in the skim
milk was 124.
In ten trials where milk was diluted
with 10 to 100 per cent of hot water,
the average per cent. in the skim milk
was LII.
In two trials where milk was set in
deep cans without dilution, in running
water at 60 to 63 degrees, the average
per cent. in the skim milk was .S9.
In two trials where milk was set in
shallow cans, at so degrees and GA de-
grees, the average per cent. of fat in the
skim milk was .4S.
In one trial were milk was set in shall
low pans and one third of its weight of
water at 120 degrees added, the per cent.
of fat in the skim milk was rs.

WORK has been begun on the most
formidable piece of excavation on the
Nicaragua Canal. 1t is solid rock cut
about l3 miles from the Atlantic end of
the canal. A great deal of dredging has
already been done in the land from the
shore inward. The climate is agreeable,
the health of the surveying and working
parties good and the progress made thus
far equals expectations. The engineers
confidently predict that the work can be
completed in four years.

THE term blue-stocking," was origi-
nally used in Venice about the year 400,
to designate literary classes by colors.
In Mills "History of Chivalry," we are
told that members of the various acad-
emies were distinguished by the color of
their stockings, blue being the prevail
ing color. The application of the term
to women originated with Miss Hannah
MOre's admirable description of "Blue
Stocking Club" in her "Bas Bleu."

THERE will be deficiency of fifty
millions this year for pensions, and yet
the clamor for reduction in revenues
grows louder and louder. Reduced rev.
enues and the present liberal pension
policy sre inconsistent. Either the rev.
enuss must be kept up or else the
pension policy must suffer very con-
shrinkage.

WILL those who are shouting them
selves hoarse over the so called defeat
of Mckinley please bear in mind that
that gallant Majors "defeat" was in fact
a victory? A gain of two thousand
votes in campaign of three weeks
indicates alike personal popularity and
a just cause. The Democrats made
every effort to defeat Mckinley, and
they stopped at no misrepresentation,
no method to deceive voters and no
species of fraud to carry their ends, and
as result the Republicans succeeded
in winning two thousand Democratic
votes. Surely this was not defeat.

A POLITICAL DIALOGUE.
From Texas Stats zeitung, Nov. sth.

From Texas Stats Zeitung, Nov. sth.l
Lehmann:-Tell me Knopps.I can't I'M
derstand why our Germans can get along
so well with the MeXlcans, when they are
always at outs among themselves, and
when German runs for an office most
Germans vote against him, but when an
American or Mexican runs they nearly
always unanimously vote for him.
knoppS.-The reason for this, friend
Lehman, is that the Americans andMeX-
leans know what they want, while the
Germans always want to go with the big
gest crowd and consequently run about
like lost dogs looking for a master.
Lehmann.-Well it appears to me that
they have found that master.
Knopps-Whom do you mean, Leh-
mann?
does with them as he pleaseS, and II one
of them dares to rebel, Callaghan has only
to tell him that he can't participate in
the future, and he will Immediately wag
his tail.
Knopps-Now, Lehman, | don't be-
lieve that, for the Germans will convince
Cailaghan at the next city election that
he is not their master.
Lehmann-Well it is to be hoped
KnoppS, for at any rate 1t would be bet
ter. If he wants to treat the people like
dogs that they give him dig in the ribs
whenever they meet him instead of wag-
ing their tails.
Lehmann-Knopps, you are an awful big
fool about politics cant you see? In the
first place, the bonds are still in the hand 5
of the mayor, and if pawnbroker will
not advance 100 cents on the dollar he
will probably give % cents, and If neces-
Sity requires it, probably less may be
taken before the valuable voters would
be allowed to depart.
Knopps. Say, Lehman, is the city ad-
ministration going to keep the MeXicans
here for the next city election?
Lehman. God only knows. l hear
that our mayor is somewhat in the dark
with our city bonds and he has only re-
ceived small amount on tick.
Knopps. Well if he receives no money
how can he expect to keep the Mexicans
here? They will say mo money no
goods"
KnoppS. Yes, but what will the citizens
say if their bonds are sacrificed only TO
pay Mexicans in order TO get them to cast
their votes for the administration at the
next city election?
Lehmann--Oh Lord, how green you
are friend Knopps, what have the citizens
to say about 1t any how? They have
nothing to say, they ought to be satisfied
that the administration will permit them
to vote.
Knopps-Alas-- .las-yes, that's the
way it appears to me also.

Mysteriously Stabbed.

Sunday afternoon number of brick
maSons, slightly under the influence of
liquor, met at Monroe Pratt's saloon, OPP
posite the courthouse, on Soledad street,
where they soon broke out in q quarrel.
After being separated, one of the men,
named AL. Hubbard, returned to the sa-
loon, and the trouble began anew, be-
tween himself and Joe Carroll. Some words
passed and blow after blow was struck,
until finally they clinched, with Hubbard,
who is large, strong fellow, on top.
During this struggle several attempts
were made to part the men. Meanwhile
q message was sent to the police station
and Officers Beck and Schumacher
put out for the scene and
arrested both men, when it was found
that Hibbard had received an ugly cut
with dagger, in the hollow of the back
No knife was found about the place of
struggle, no knife was found on the two
men and no one had seen knife. The
manner in which the wound was inflicted
is mystery. However, it is thought
that during the struggle and while at
tempts were being made to part the men
some one slipped up and slashed Hib-
bards, who assaulted an old man before
this trouble. The injured man was too
drunk to tell who stabbed him OF. submit
to having his wound dressed. The case
of the two men will be tried by the re-
corder in the morning.

F,ayors Reciprocity.

NEW YORK, Nov 10.-President
Evan Thomas, of the Produce Ex-
change, has sent an official letter to
Secretary Blaine favoring reciprocity
with Newfoundland. Mr.. Thomas
says: Large quantities of goods
come forward to this port for tran
shipment to Europe, Brazil, West In
dies, Central America and other
points, and if by the removal of duties
upon importations from Newfound-
land of the products of its fisheries
and manufactured minerals, the bur-
den necessarily incident to our bond
ing laws could also be removed, SO
that this through freight could be
handled with greater facility, the
port of New York would become the
great distributing center for the pro-
ducts of the island of Newfoundland.
Newfoundland offers great advan-
tages for reciprocity. She would be-
come a great market for our bread
stuffs and would supply us products
not obtainable elsewhere"
