DEMOCRATS WIDE AWAKE.
A Great Victory In Arkansas
AND GREAT GAINS IN VERMONT.
Many Republicans Staying at Home
This Year.

There is striking political news this
week from the North and the South
from Verm ont and Arkansas. In the
Northern commonwealth we see the
Democrats polling larger vote even
than in the Presidential year, while
the Republicanson the other hand show
an unprecedented falling off In their
attendance at the polls. The meaning
Of this cannot be misunderstood. The
Democrats are more wide-awake and
active then ever before. The Republi-
cans are displeased or apathetic in their
attitude toward the Administration
which they succeeded in placing In Of
fee two years ago. In Arkansas che
Democratic party has achieved sweep
ing victory and largely increased its
majority after spirited political cam
paign. We believe that similar results
will follow all over the country in No
vember, and that the Republican mi
norlty in the SD Congress will be about
the size of that which 1t had In the
44th.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS.
Their Campaign Opened by Genera !
Black on the Anniversary Of
Hendricks Birth.

Special Dispatch to tho Enquirer.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 6.-The
Democratic campaign had brilliant
opening tonight, the occasion marking
the birthday anniversary Of the late
Vice-President Hendricks, and the
whole being under the management of
the Hendricks Club.
The immense auditorium of the City
Hall was elaborately decorated with
flags, and bust of Hendricks near the
speakers stand was covered with floral
offerings and wreaths, while overhead
swung q gorgeously illuminated banner,
with its 400 blue, red and white lights
so placed as to form the letters giving
the full name of the club.
It was expected that Governor Camp
bell, Of Ohio, would be the chief
orator, and elaborate preparations were
made both for the reception of himself
and general Black, of Illinois, but to-
daya letter was received confirming
reports of his serious illness, by which
he was still detained In New York.
General Black arrived during the
afternoon, and tonight the Hendricks
and Gray Clubs, headed by bands, join
ed in escorting him to the hall, where
he met with welcome highly compli-
mentary to himself, as well as rebound
ing to the credit of the Indiana De-
mocracy.
Hon.. B. Mccullough, who heads
the Legislative ticket, was Chairman.
The hall was filled, many ladies occu-
pying seats upon the stage. Both Mr..
Mccullough and General Black paid
glowing tributes to the memory of the
distinguished, but the speech of
the latter was largely devot-
ed to comparison of conditions be-
tween agricultural and manufacturing
States, In which he showed that the
former were constantly growing poorer,
while the latter were adding to their
wealth.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
REMARKABLE DEMOCRATIC GAINS AND
REPUBLICAN LOSSES.

MONTPELIER, VI, Sept. 3. 1890.
Returns from about half the State of
the election yesterday show decidedly
hopeful results for the Democrats. The
Republican vote fell off more than 80
per cent. from 1888. The Democrats
gained about 5 per cent. The Demo-
Gratis have the largest representation in
legislature for 20 years. Reports are
very encouraging for the Democracy
and the Republicans are corresponding
ly depressed. The Republican minori-
ty will not be very far from 1900 for
governor, against $4,000 for Dillingham;

BURLINGTON, VT, Sept. 3-Probably

far known to have been elected. There
were only 18 Democrats in the last as
sembly. Two farmers League candi-
dates and an unexpected large number
of high license Republican assembly,
men are elected.

Results Of Experiments In the Culture
ofonions-The Erect ofTransplant-
ing-Pointers for the MarketG ar
dener.

When young, Is not common with gar
deners, but it has many advantages
which seem to have been overlooked.
Seed under forty different names, in
cluding about thirty varieties, was sown
in the green house February 25, 1890.
The seed came up promptly, and the
young plants advanced rapidly In
growth, being six to eight inches in
height by the middle of April. AS
soon as practicable two beds, or plats
Of ground, were prepared, side by side,
in one of which the young onion plants
grown in the green house were plant
ed.
In the other bed seed of the same
varieties was sown, In the ordinary
manner. In all respects, except that
of transplanting, the onions in the two
beds were treated exactly alike. The
two beds were manured and cultivated
alike, and twice during the season,
when the weather was dry, both were
irrigated. At the proper time the on
ions in the bed where the seed was
sown were thinned, so as to stand the
the same distance az those that had
been transplanted, which was three in
ches apart in the row, the rows being
one foot asunder.
The difference in the two beds was
very marked from the start. Those
that were transplauted began to grow
at once, none so far as observed. dying
in the operation. Not only were the
transplanted onions much larger at all
times during the season but had q
healthier appearance, besides being
more uniform in size. A conservative
estimate at any time during the season
would have placed the yield of the
transplanted onions at more than doub-
lie that of the other bed.
The difference In cost of cultivation
was considerable, being about to 2 in
favor of the bed of transplanted onions.
At the first wedding both beds were
weedy, but while the weeds were as
large as the onions in the bed where
the seed was sown, making wedding
difficult and slow, the task was COM
paratively easy in the other bed. At
the second wedding it was necessary to
remove many of the small onions in the
bed where the seed was sown, an oper-
alton which is equivalent to an extra
wedding. The work of wedding was
one-half on the bed of transplanted on
ions what it was on the other bed.
Counting the extra trouble of growing
in the greenhouse and transpIanting,
the work on the two beds was about
the same for the whole season; that is,
transplanting adds nothing to the cost
of growing the crop, aside from the ne
cessity of a greenhouse, hot-bed or cold
frame, in any of which the plants can
be started.
The difference IN the. time of ripen-
Ing was about one month, in favor of
the transplanted onions, making it pos
sible to use them for punching, also to
market the crop at an earlier date,
than could be done with those sown in
the open ground. The yield of the
transplanted onions was about double
that Of the others, In most cases, as the
following table of some of the leading
varieties will show:

SUBSTANTIAL pEMocRArrc GAINS.

Arkansas had an election for State
officers September l. The Democrats
were opposed by combination of the
Republican and Union Labor parties.
Returns from two-thirds of the coun-
ties received Tuesday night by the Lit
tie Rock Gazette maintain the large in
crease in the Democratic majorities ov-
er last year indicated Monday night.
The increase is specially large in the
white counties, while opposition ma
jorfties In the negro counties, except
Jefferson show decrease. The major
ity for Governor Eagle and the Demo-
cratic State ticket will not fall below
10000, and still larger figure is claim
ed, owing to the almost uniform heavy
gains. The Legislature will be over
whelmingly Democratic, thus insuring
the reelection of James X. Jones, as
United States Senator, he having no
Democratic opposition. No reports of
disturbance at polls from anywhere in
the State.

SENATOR CALVIN S, RRICEIS VEAL Tn,


Senator Calvin S. Brice is es.
timated to be worth over &c.
100000. Ten years ago as a
railroad lawyer at Lima, Ohio,
all he had was his home and
that incumbered. All of this
immense fortune has been &C.
cumulated in this short period
in successful railroad DEALS
His success has been phenomi-
nal and while it shows the pos
sibilitles of this country never
theless it is largely but the Ca
price of fortune. 1t is the
grand prize in the lottery Of
chance which every now and
then one man of a million
draws. For the other 999,999
common sense teaches us it is
foley to hope for such luck.
The chances are all against us.
There is a certain way for every
man, woman or child to accum-
ulate a competence. 1t is the
rule that we see followed by
those all around us, who are
steadily getting ahead fnan-
cially. The certain rule OF
wealth is very simple, it is to
save.
It is not how much or how
little we earn that makes any
one rich, it is what is put by.
Every one has this chance. The
boy or girl who forms habits of
industry and learns to save is
sure to succeed. The man or
woman who determines to put
by a part of their earnings and
who does it, is certain to be-
come independent. The great
trouble is we say. next week I
will begin; next month | will
have some surplus; next year I
will have better pay and can
put by something Of conse-
quence. Next week and next
month and next year always
bring needs as pressing as those
Of to-day. The sure rule is,
begin now, Put by a part Of
your earnings and whether the
start is in dimes or dollars, nev-
ertheless make a start. You
can put it by by putting it
%here it will bring you in some
thing, or invest it in necessar-
les where and when they are
sold cheap. Thousands and mil
lions of dollars are saved every
year by persons taking advant-
age of buying where they can
get good necessaries of life
cheap. We know of no better
place where this can be done
than at the Drug. Book and
Wall Paper House of Saur &
Balsley. Just at this season
this house is offering some pay
ing and special bargains in wall

In the above table the yield per acre
Is estimated from small plats, and the
actual yield of an acre might fall below
those given, and yet 1t is believed that
even better results could be obtained by
attending carefully to all details in
management. 1t will be seen that the
best results and greatest difference in
yield were obtained with the foreign
varieties. There was a gain with both
Yellow Danvers and Red Wethersfield,
but less marked than with the other
varieties. The greater size and uni
formity of the transplanted onions
made the product more marketable in
all cases. The. advantages of trans
planting onions may be enumerated as
follows:
First-The greater probability of Sc
curing good stand Of plants.
Second-The saving of labor at the
most critical period.
Third-Advance In time Of maturity.
Fourth-Increase of the crop.
Fifth-Improvement In appearance
of crop, enhance the market value.
Sixth ground is occupied for q
shorter period. making it possible to
use the land for some other crop, the
same season.
This plan may not be feasible for
those who grow onions on large scale,
but 1t can be followed to advantage by
gardeners who do general market
garden business, and who have the
necessary hot-beds or green houses. 1t
should be remembered that the foreign
varieties with which the above results
were obtained are not 80 good-keepers
as the varieties commonly grown.
