THE audacity Of the Republican leaders
in Congress, not only in their actions, but
also in their expressions, is one oftheir most
striking characteristics. II is reported that
| Mr.. Jones. Of Nevada, who is quite rarely
heard from now, asserted in his speech on
the Tarifl in the Senate, on Wednesday, that
the Democratic free traders, in which term
he included the membership Of the entire
| Democratic party, were only to be compared
with the robbers and pirates Of the middle
ages" in the rapacious nature OF their
doctrines, and the evil results that
| would follow these doctrines if once
| put into operation as the policy
of the administration Of National al
| fairs. Mr.. Jones has no doubt been smart
Ing under the denunciation Of himself and
his party associates, by the Democrats, as
"the robber barons of protection" and has,
in his inability 20 refute the justice OF that
charge, no other resource but to eXclaim in
retaliation. ''yOu are another" which is the
usual resource of men who are conscious of
their failure in argument.
TuE different conventions, Democratic
| and Republican, which have met in the last
| few days in the Western states have only
accentuated more strongly the points of
sues between the Democrats and Republi
cans, which we're SO clearly defined in the
debates in Congress, have now been en-
dorsed by the representative assemblies Of
the two political organizations in every part
of the Union, 1t only remains for the peo-
pie to express directly their sentiments at
the polls. With them the final decision
must rest, and they will have an opportu-
nifty Of disclosing this decision in the Con-
grcssional elections to take place this fall.
For four hundred years the impression
has prevailed that America was discovered
by one Christopher Columbus, "A navigator
who enjoyed the patronage of Spain. Re
ce.t investigations, however, in the archives
Of the Chinese Empire, 10y an American OF
inquiring mind, would seem to show that
America was really discovered by Chinese
navigator in the year 2l7 i. G. The name
of this discoyerer is said 10 be Hee Ii, Il
name that would not be inappropriate for
the imaginative American investigator
who alleges that he has unearthed this fact.
The Republican Convention which a.
sembled in Indianapolis on Wednesday
failed 10 give as strong an endorsement of
Harrison as was expected. The influence
Of Judge Gresham, who has reason 10 dis |
like the President, was obvious at every !
turn in the proceedings. Thomas b. Reed |
just now is more distinguished Republi- |,
can in the opinion of his party associates in
Indiana than Benjamin Harrison. Such is
the conclusion 10 be drawn from the resolu
tions that were adopted by the convention,

RURAL RRENITIES.

SYSTEMATIC selling is as necessary as
good production.
TRY to keep your farm productions
above the average in quality. There is
money in it.
ENGLISH shepherds find cut cabbage
preferable to beets or turnips for sheep.
Lambs in early winter are especially
fond of it.
The money value of draught horse
that has been trained to walk four miles
an hour is full one-half more than one
that will not go more than two and a
half or three.
A NOTED Western cattle breeder says
that breeders have passed the time
when they aim to grow steers first and
then fatten them" They feed to grow
and fatten all along the line.
UNRULY cattle on farm are very
troublesome, but the cause is not hard
to find. 1t is, almost invariably, poor
pasture and semi-starvation. Why
shouldn't hungry animal jump fences
Or push them down?
IN building wire fence set your posts
and turn furrow against them on each
side. This lessons the space between
the bottom wiro and the ground and in
aicates to animals the presence of an
obstruction.

was grown on the plantation of F. B.
Cullins, who died about three weeks
ago, and it is said by folks who visited
Mr.. Cullins during his last illness that
the radish is a perfect likeness of one

WILLIAM MARTIN has a curiosity in
the shape of a gosling at his homo in
Eoton township, near Tunkhannock,
Pa. This little farm Bird" about
month old, has two feet, but ono OF
them is perfect chickens foot; the
other is natural "web" foot, and when
placed in the water it goes around much
like top. This freak of nature is a
new one, and we doubt if there is
another like it in existence.
