Col. WhitmOyeris short address at
the Farmers Institute is receiving H.
Illustration every day. His statement was
that while farmers could take pains to
till their land we'll and raise good crops.
there were matters Of business, outside
OF the work in their farms. that needed
their best attention. Frauds are being
committed upon farmers continually by
agents Of all kinds, strangers among
strangers, who by their glib tongues and
insinuating ways entrap the unwary. and
often cause them to lose hundreds Of
dollars. There is the man with lightning
rods to sell, and who usually plays a
sleek game to put up three times as
much rodding as was figured on and at
q price double what was talked about:
the man With a patent right for a fence
and who sells territory for a high price,
while protesting to take an order for 80
much fencing: the man With the cheap
dry-goods and the cheap groceries gets
in his work. and SO it goes. The Colo
ne's topic was timely, and his short adj
dress Was . good one. As heretofore,

that is at all familiar with the parti-

iority of the Senate will know that for six
years Democrat will be kept out of the
seat When the people are working such
revolutions as are being wrought these

take shot whenever a Republican head
shows itself, a Republican Senate is not
apt to be deferred by scruples, nor will ii

who are opposing him now are simply

comes too late to be effective.
