Heffllp Confesses bis Guilt.

Lee Hefflin, who murdered the Hines ,
family near Calverton. Fauquier county,
and who was taken to the Jail in Alexandria
for safe-keeping on last Friday, on that
day confessed his guilt. A special to the
"Dispatoh" says:
"He said he had killed Mrs. Hines with
q heavy stick in order to get some money
she had in trunk In her house, and when
the three children cried for their mother
he killed them in the same manner. AZ
ter securing the money he buried it in a
fence corner. The morning after the muir
der he went to the house again and found
the bodies in the same position he had left
them.
He then set fire to the houee and went
back to his work in the fields. He told
some colored men who were working neal
by that the house was on fire. He was ar.
rested soon afterwards. He seems perfect
ly uuconcerned and does not realize his po-
sition. This confession completely exoner

he is plainly giving no thought; why
should anybody else do so?
But it was q matter of course that
the letter should excite universal at
tention.
II was a matter of course that such
a letter should have marked effect
upon public opinion.
Perhaps the most remarkable de-
velopment of sentiment that has oc
Cured anywhere is the action of the
Legislature of Wisconsin, now strong
ly Democratic, which last week adopt
ed the following resolutions:
WHEREAS, The common experience
OF mankind has demonstrated the
absurdity of the attempt to create
wealth by legislative enactment;
and
WHEREAS, Any attempt to initiate
the currency of nation is a perilous
undertaking, one that more partiC ular-
~ affects the toiling masses of the
people, who are the last to receive an
increase of wages and the first to feel
rise in the commodities; and.
WHEREAS, The pending legisla-
ton in Congress relative to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, in the
language of an eminent statesman,
threatens the business interests OF the
country with disaster; therefore
Pcsolred, That our Senators and
Representatives in Congress be re-
quested to Use their utmost efforts to
prevent the passage Of the bill now
before Congress relating to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Resolred, That the Governor be
and he is hereby requested to forward
copy Of these resolutions to our
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress."
The Senate, which consists of 16
Democrats and IA Republicans, voted
unanimously for it, and in the assem-
bly,, which consists of &C Democrats
and 81 Republicans, only four votes
were cast against it, one by United
Labor man two by Republicans.
II will be very interesting to see
what course the Democrats and Re-
publicans, respectively, in Ohio take
next autumn in regard TO silver. We
have assurance that the Democrats
are already vastly stronger on the tariff
issue there than they were last Now
cmber, and on that issue success would
be certain in the coming State cam.
paign. 1t will be the duty of the
Democrats of Ohio to frame such a
currency plank in their platform that
all Democrats can support the ticket.
Let Democrats everywhere remem-
her that it. ia their duty pa Democrats
to hold their opinions on all such
questions as the currency subject to
the decision of the next National
Democratic Convention, and then go
in and elect the man who is nominat-
ed, whoever he may be. That is genu-
inc Democracy.

Blackburn Finds Fault With Tilden
and Cleveland.

A letter from Senator Blackburn to
Col. John c. Noble, of Paducah, KY,
under date of Washington, is made
public. The letter says:
ain the light of the publication of
Mr.. Cleveland's letter antagonizing his
party upon the silver question, do
not believe there is q Democratic men,
ber of the Senate who would favor his
nomination for the Presidency or who
believes that it would be possible to
elect him in 1892 If nominated. No
organization is effected or attempted
here hostile 20 him, but there is now
but one opinion as to his lack of avail
ability. have no personal objection
TO Mr.. Cleveland in the world, but do
not believe that any man can be elect
cd President in 1892 who is opposed to
free silver coinage. The people have
been trifled with long enough on this
subject.
"The truth is that for twenty-five
years past New York has never fur
nished Democratic leader who has
not been in thorough accord with Wall
street and at variance with the masses
of the people. This was as true of Mr..
Tilden in former years as it is to-day
true of Mr.. Cleveland. l have longed
TO see the day when the Democrats
might elect President of this country
without paying the tribute that New
York always levied. l think that
time is at hand. l hare no favorite
candidate. but only insist that he shall
be fair and honest representative Of
Democratic sentiment"

. American History.

The Hon. John Jay delivered a
most suggestive address before the
American Historical Society in Wash
ington City short time ago, in which
he emphasized the necessity for a
more systematic and thorough course
of instruction in our public schools
upon American history. There can
be no better foundation of American
citizenship than knowledge OF the
struggle of our revolutionary fathers,
who pledged their honor and risked
their lives and fortunes in defense of
their personal, political and civil
rights.
AS our population increases in
numbers, spreading as it now does
from the eastern to the western sea, and
our system OF government becomes
more strained in its application to a
wider and an ever-increasing popula-
ton, it becomes more than ever i'm
portant that we should hold fast to
the broad principles of a government
laid down by its founders, not for a
privileged class, but for the whole peo-
pie OF a great and free republic. And
how can those principles be as success
fully and Interestingly taught, as in
the study of our own history? WASH
ington was an ardent advocate of
American education, and objected to
sending abroad American youths to
be educated, because, he said, it not
only encouraged habits of dissipation
and extravaganza, but that it also fos
tered principles unfriendly to Repub-
lican government and the true and
generous liberation of mankind.
Thomas Jefferson, in 1885, said, i'm.
prove the law for educating the people
and that the tax paid for that pur-
pose will not be more than the thous-
andth part Of what will be paid to
kings, priests and mobiles who will rise
up among us if this be not done.
The eminent teacher, DR.. Woodrow
Wilson, in speaking of the convictions
of our great statesmen from Washing
ington to our day, said no free govern
ment can last in health if it lose hold
of its traditions in history; and in the
public schools these may be and
should be sednlously presented and
carefully replanted in the thought and
conciousness of each succeeding gener-
alton.
The study OF all history is profita-
BILE and instructive. That of our own
country is especially so, and a thorough
acquaintance with it fits man for the
responsibilities and duties which be-
long to all American citizen.

Don't LIKE JUDGE SACHs.-Judge
Sachs, of Port Townsend, has brought
disgrace to the Judiciary of this State.
lie is Q member of the grandest profess
sion extant, and his constituents
honored him by placing him in high
position in that profession. Forgetful
of his obligations to the people. of his
position in society, and even of COM
mon decency, he descended from the
bench and mingled with the lowest
grades of society. Nightly he could be
found gambling with Chinese, ST.
washes, negroes and debased whites.
From these dens he remOunted the
bench and tried cases where he and
his relatives were personally interested.
And yet the legislature spends a great
deal of valuable time in investigating
and contemplating as to whether or
not they will suspend this man. For
the sake OF the honor OF this young
State, and the party and profession
which he disgraces, let him drop into
well-earned doblivion.-Snohomish Sun.

Or ali pension advocates Gen. Rus

the Office of commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of tho Republic, is the
most ultra, though it is we'll known
that his radical speeches on the sub

ing towards the Presidential chair.
At the reunion in Boston, in his an

his service or not, or whether he have

~ all re ASK" General Alger Is .
millionaire. If by any chance he
should become physically disabled he
could draw pension from the govern
ment, notwithstanding his wealth.
What more than this can be asked
1t is utterly absurd. The entire theory
OF our pension laws is wrong. Disabled
soldiers who are unable to support
themselves should be supported by the
government, and no others. General
Alger's radical position on the pension
question may avail to secure him the
Republican nomination, though that
is a matter Of great doubt; but he
should remember that the voters OF
the nation are as thirty to one to the
members Of the Grand Army, and they
have become sick, tired and disguised
with this demagogic, conscienceless and
unpatriotic outcry by pension agitators.

Naxims for Mixers.

Be gentle with your cows. Re.
member you are man and they are
brutes; be thou not a brute.
Give your COW name and call her
by her name; she will learn to know
it sooner than you think.
Never feed your COW while milking;
one thing at time. Make her pay
attention to you and not to her feed.
If you have more than one COW
always milk them in the same order +;
q boss cow does not like to be sighted.
Clean your stable before you milk.
l know OF no substance that will take
up bad Odors sooner than milk.
Clean your cow with brush or cloth
before you milk; perfect cleanliness is
most essential to perfect dairying.
In cold weather wash your hands in
warm water before you milk; n cows
teats are very sensitive.
Have no conversation while milk
ing, nor stop at what did you say?
from your fellow mixer.
Milk as rapidly as you can and as
clean as you can; if you do not your
cow will dry up.
Strain your milk from strainer
pail into an independent strainer, and
in this have besides strainer cloth.
A good strong mixer ought to milk
ten cows in an hour, but he has not
time to carry the milk to the dairy.
Have all your milking apparatus
scrupulously clean; milk being a fatty
substance you may need pure soap in
the cleaning; use scalding hot water
afterwards.
Be sure and keep your fnger-nails
short, always.
Give your cows a tablespoonful of
salt once day in their mess mill
feed. 1t will keep them in good health.
A cattle chain or strap with q
snap is better tie than the old
fashioned stanchion.
A warm and comfortable stable will
save feed, and straw or dry leaves are
softer than oak plank.
If you want the best results from
your COWS feed them all they can as
simulate and digest, but remember it
takes watching to reach that point.
Handle your heifers every day and
make them gentle; it will save much
trouble when they become fresh.

Never drive COW nor a fattening
steer faster than a slow walk.
You have no use for dog on dairy
farm, except it be well-trained collie.
Sell your kicking COW to the butch
er; she has no value in the dairy.
Never wet your fingers while milk
ing, especially with milk.
A mixer who can use only one
hand at time, or who will milk with
thumb and finger, never should he
entrusted with COW either in a large
dairy or in a private stable.-St. Louis
