MERIT WINs.-We desire to say to
our citizens that for years we have
been selling DIR. Kings New Discovery
for consumption, DIR. Kings New Life
Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Elec-
trio Bitters, and have never handled
remedies that sell as well, or that
have given such universal satisfaction.
We do not hesitate to guarantee them
every time, and we stand ready to re-
fund the purchase price if satisfactory
results do not follow their use. These
remedies have won their great popular
ity purely on their merits. AT G.

THESE observations are not " strictly
agricultural" and the blue pencil of
our Editor-in-chief may interrupt their
transmission to the reader. But if he
lets them pass, as the vagarious dreams
of an old man, we hope our readers may
find some germs in them that will grow
up in their minds to resolute purp oses.
No nation is safe that fails to vigilantly
watch its lawmakers, and hold the IN to

AN exchange remarks that very
much of the current dairy literature is
but puffs of different methods, or ma
chimes, more or less disguised. This
is certainly true, but not neces sarily an
evil. The sArewd farmer makes allow
ances for favorable notice of certain
brands of dairy salt, butter color,
creamers, creameries, churns, butter
workers and the like, and is glad to get
the information such notices contain.
Though we recognize their origin, and
examine for ourself before making a
purchase, we are glad TO have our at
tention drawn to all these new things.
When the publisher alone writes these
notices, or allows the seller to write
them, they may mislead some careless
people into mis-spending their money;
but we do not believe that practically
instructed editors will compromise
themselves in this way. We know that
many readers have thanked us for call
ing their attention to really good things.
At the same time we urge every farmer
to be cautious, and use his own good
sense and judgment in buying even
what we may commend. An nipple.
ment, or other article, may be the very
thing that one man wants, and the very
thing another cannot use to advant age

that Mr.. Barnard is substantially right.
We find that in the extensive dairy of
our neighbor, Speaker Grout of the
Vermont house of representatives, only
a slight sprinkling of sawdust is used.
His cows are kept in swing stanchions,
and are very clean. He is thorough
farmer, and studies his business care
fully. His farm of seven hundred acres,
adjoining the village of Derby Center,
is well manage |, and his sales of butter
for 1891 will exceed ten tons. He has
been some eight years organizing his
farming business, AMI has got it into
fine shape for convenience and profit.
He would not be bad farmers candi-
date for governor-though as demo-
crat we should probably feel it our duty
to vote against him if he received re-
publican nomination. We hope to see
the time, however, when parties shall
be reorganized on modern issues when
we shall hope to vote with the majority,
for we well know that the majority of
our republican neighbors are as sound
Jeffersonians as ourself, and as hot foes
to the Quays and Dudleys as we are to
the Hills and Germans.
IT looks to US as if it were about time
for an era of honest politics, putting
aside all enmities aud sectional preiu-
dices, and going in for harmonious CO.
operation of honest men of all sections.
We have had no great hope of the late
farmers .movem emit, for il fell under
bad leadership from the first, and is now
about dead. If it had adhered to the
principles of the grange, and kept clear
of crude financial theories, it might to-
day be power for good. There surely
must be union of plain citizens against
the plundering, speculative and capt.
talistic influences, if any kind of honest
business is to thrive as it should in this
nation. Votes rule this country only
when they are intelligently thrown by
citizens who know well what they want,
and resolutely mean to have it. AS
things now are, the politicians of neither
party will give us good government, for
they are hand-in-glove with the plum
dering element which is engineering
the trusts, combines and other devices
for the corruption of our legislative
bodies in the interests of speculative
greed.
THAT plain old soldier and patriot,
the first Harrison, struck the keynote
in his last words, when he feebly said,
supposing himself to be addressing the
vice-president, wish you to under
stand the principles of this govern
ment." 1t is return to these princi-
pies that our people, without distinc-
ton, should insist upon. Things are
now administered, both in state and
nation, with little reference to them.
They were long ago briefly but clearly
and fully stated in these words: equal
Rights to all; Exclusive Privileges to
none" When we get solidly back to
that brief but comprehensive platform,
and make it our only guide, all special
legislation for the benefit of the few
will vanish from our statute books, and
American liberty return.

TR ASHEDTHE MASHER.

Comedian Pete Baker Resents an
Insult offered Miss Walters.
Pete Baker, the we'll known Ger
man comedian, while playing at the
Park Theatre, Dayton, O., appeared
in new role at the Hotel Coopet.
The dramatis personae were the
comedian as the hero, H. Il. Jenkins,
travelling man, in the part of heavy
villain, and Miss Viva Walters, the
comedia' daughter, as the wronged
heroine, and other members of the
company to fill the background. The
scene was the reading room of the
hotel. The heavy villain had written
insulting notes to Miss Walters, and
her parent resented this by knock
ing him through a large plate glass
window and thrashing him soundly.
Tue curtain fell as II police patrol
wagon arrived and conveyed Mr.. Jen-
kins to the lookup, where the civil
authorities will deal with him, as
NJ. Baker had apparently had full
satisfaction.
Jenkins is % years of Gge, hand
some and rather gentlemanly IN bear
Ing. He IS from Henderson, n. c.
He says he made an mistake in ad-
dressing Miss Walters and apologized
to Mr. Baker, but it was not accepted
and instead ne was attacked. He
threatens to prosecute Baker but
does not say what for.
Jenkins got out of the station house
the charges brought against him by
the landlord of the hotel being with
drawn. He had Baker arrested for
as sault and battery and brought be-.
fore a justice OF this piece. Baker
was fined S35, which he promptly
paid.

A MAN WITH A BROKEN NECK

A Singular Case That Is Attracting
the Attention of the Doctors.
A remarkable case, of which only
two parallels are said to be on record
exists nBinghamton, N. Y. In Feb
ruary, two years ago, E. P. Negus
tried to back a sleigh-load of coal into
barn. The fore .runners struck the
barn door, and Negus, who was
standing up was thrown out by the
shock. He turned in the fall and
struck on his neck, his head being
twisted under his arm. A physician
was summoned, who made the start
ling discovery that Negus had dislo-
Gated the vertebra at the second joint
of the cervical region. He was para
lyzed by the shock. 1t was not be-
lieved that he could live, and the
bones were never properly adjusted.
Mr.. Negus however, lives through
suffering the most eXcruciating pains
and unable to speak. One night he
had dream from which he awoke
with a start. The shock threw the
dtslocated bones into place. He sank
into delicious sleep, during which
he experienced sensation as If float
ing in midair. His paralysis left him
and he was on the high road to recov-
cry, but while asleep a few nights
later, the bones were again disconnec-
ed, and have remained SO ever since.
He does not suffer much pain, but
the bones brushing against the sciatic |
nerves produce paralysis of the right |
side. He hopes in time 10 recover

When American inventive genius
was called upon few years ago to
furnish the country with effective
modern ordinance it proved fully
equal to the emergency, and we have
to-day, both in our army and navy,
high powered guns which surpass
the famous weapons of Armstrong
and Krupp. In the early days of
rehabilition OF the navy our designers
through lack of experience, adhered
closely to English IDEAS, but recently

constructors have built and designed

all nations had realized the necessity
for producing o smokeless powder
equal to all requirements. So jealous
was each country lest the others
would get ahead of it that the secrets
of manufacture of each kind of pow

pean experience showed that many
of the different varieties of smokeless
powder possessed great merit, but in
one or more particulars were still
imperfect. France claims to have
met all requirements In Vielle pow

QUEER METHODS.
THE BARDSLEY COMMITTEE
MAKE MORE DISCOVERIES.
REPORT OF MAYORS EXPERTS
For Years He Took a Certain
Amount From Each Mans
Collections-What Bardsley
Retained

PHILADELPHIA, Sep. 3. The Bardsley
investigating committee met last night
IN the Council Chamber and resumed
their probing iuto the affairs of the late
City Treasurer and his peculiar methods
of administering the duties Of his Office.
The committee devoted their attention
to examining the magistrates who col
lected the delinquent mercantile taxes
for 1889 and 1890.
The experts appointed by Mayor Stuart
presented a report of thS collections as
made by the magistrates for those years
and the returns made by them. They re-
ported that by Bardsley's books it ap-
peered that for each year Bardsley took
90, $50, and that in 1889 he apparently
paid 81, $40 OF this sum TO H. NJ. Griffin
Of Harrisburg. In 1890 be also paid over
81, $40 to some party uREpowp. Each
year BaTdSley had deducted $500 from
each of the magistrates which made the
total sum Of So, 15O, half Of which Bards-
ley appropriated to his own use, and the
other half was turned over to some one
else.
All the magistrates, with the exception
of two, who had collected the delinquent
taxes for 1889 and 1890 were in attend
ance at the meeting of the committee and
were placed on the stand.
Magistrate William b. Ahenrn testified
that he was appointed a collector in 1890,
TO succeed Magistrate Thompson, who
went insane. He paid the amount col
lected from his office into the city treas
ury. Some two months after he was
summoned to Bardsley's Office with the
other magistrates and received a check
for the amount due him, less $500, which
Bardsley kept, Bardsley told him that
tho total costs were Jumped and divided
into eight parts so that the constables
would all receive an equal amount foI
| their work.
! The amount deducted came out of the
= fees of the constables. The deduction
was not the result of any agreements with
J BRrdsley and he never received dollar
! of the money himself or paid dollar fol
! his appointment as delinquent collector
| Magistrates Smith, SEVERN, List,
Roney, Hackett, Pullinger and Rundell
all testified to the same facts but theil
testimony brought out nothing that was
not told before
