A Good Platform for the Farmers.
fcnrOlina Suarfanl

If the farmers will stand fat-footed on
the following platform for the next ninety
DAYS they will not be ashamed of IT.:
/. Six full days work every week.
2 Never wait for work 10 push you.
3. Kill the May crop OF grass and weeds
dead before they have time TO claim the
field by peaceable possession.
4. Look carefully after the feed, health.
and comfort of your work animals. Re,
member that sore shoulders and skinned
backs of horses and mules indicate care
less and cruel masters.
8. Keep tools in good order and have dri-
plcates of such as are liable TO break or
wear out.
6. Never get in an awful hurry and push
and rush and cayort around. Such men
generally break down before the,Iniddle of
the week.
7. Law all your plans several DAYS ahead
and always have job ready for wet
spell. Never let your hands know that Won
are wanting in plans and decision. Tim.
will make them Indifferent. and perhaps
lazy.
5. A well-cultivated crop is OF much
more importance to you than political
meetings. wire-pulling caucuses. and Till
man-Sheil conventions.
o. Work for the biggest yield TO the acre
Won have ever made.
10. Make your own supplies on tho farm
as far as you possibly can.

HONEST GovERNOR IRVINE.
How He Helped Pay the Public Debt
Arixona's New Magistrate.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct s.-The appointment
Of John y. Irvine, Of Keokuk. Ia. - governor
Of Arizona few days ago. recalls an incident In
his experience - governor of Idaho under Pres
tdent Arthur. He was called home by death
In his family. and remained in Keokuk several
months settling mp the estate. The treasuU Of
the United 6tates sent him his salary regularly,
but the governor declined to accept Il, saying
he had not earned any money from the govern
B1e1t while at homo about private Affairs, and
he sent the checks back 70 Washington CITY.
This presented Q new question for the treasury
officials. No one had ever made such Z COM
plaint before, and they did not know what to do
with the money. It was finally placed to the
credit Of the conscience fund This made the
honest old governor indignant, and he forthwith
forwarded to the department an emphatic pro-
test He was unwilling that any money which
he had sent TO WashinRton City should be
placed in the same fund with that surrendered
by repentent thieves. Then the amount was
placed to the credit of the public debt of the
United States. This il the only case Of the kind
on record.
