In hot weather moro than ordinary
care should be taken In making 1t easy
for the farm stock TO get water fre-
quently. This Is especially necessary for
cows giving milk. A man who has pure
running water IN his pastures Is the ex-
ccptIon generally, and the trouble OF
driving cows to water often leads TO neg
lecting them until from the want OF IL
they will run violently the moment they
are let out and heat themselves aud then
drink to excess. Mich cows In summer
should have access to water at least
three times day, no matter how much
time IL may take, and oftener than this
would be still better i believe a farmer
can neglect almost anything else better
than TO let his cows snffer for want Of

The foot Of q horse Is one OF the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces OF me-

In this are lifted as many lamine be-
longing TO the coflin-bone, while both

ter than that Is the plan OF taking the
best at home to the fair and placing 1t
on exhibition. If 1t takes premium,
there will be some satisfaction in that
II 1t does not, there will be chance to
get the opinion of others In regard to its
fanlts, and the merits Of the better kinds,
which will prove useful lesson.
Meet farmers from other neighborhoods
and exchange the news about farm crops
and the most improved methods of culti-
walton. Learn something from them and
teach them something. 1t IS generally
easy to do both II one has time enough.
Those who have breeding stock OF any
kind to exhibit should begin I'm good sea-
son to get it ready. Have 1t in good
breeding condition, which is, perhaps, a
little thinner In flesh than what is called
working condition, but not lean and not
fat. Too much fat spoils an animal as a
prolific breeder, and Injuries the consti-
tuition OF his or her progeny. This rule
is applicable to both male and female.
The managers OF fairs should look TO
this matter, and see that premiums for
breeding stock do not get awarded to
those which are too fat, but they should
be sleek, healthy and vigorous looking,
well groomed, and well cared for. They

Monstrosities are not desirable. Good

Premiums should go by the merit OF
the object upon which they are given,
and not be given for the services of the
exhibitor to the society, be they ever so
great. II one exhibitor has for several
years taken so large proportion of the
premiums as to discourage every one
else from competing. offer him an induce
ment to enter his stock "for exhibition

A society seldom loses by granting
free admission to exhibitors. Without
them there would be no show, and IL no

slim attendance OF sight-seers. 1t is
very well 10 provide a little amusement
for visitors, horse trot, few athletic
sports, or something of the sort, but do
not try to run circus. An agricultural
fair should have the agricultural features

intermission fOi playtime, but do not
make all playday. The work of study
ing up the exhibits of others Is as good
as play for the farmer, and yet it is in

CAMPBELL AND M,K1NLEY.
EFrom the pIrsburr pIspntcp. tRep. }


The interview elsewhere with Gov.
ernor Campbell, by which that states
man outlines his standing in the coming
campaign, shows he is making ready for
square fight on the regular party
lines. The Democratic leader in Ohio
does not try to ignore either the oppo-
sition to him in the Democratic ranks,
or the uncertainties introduced by the
third party movement. But he sees
that with Mckinley and himself on the
stump, "every issue save the tariff will
be forgotten in two weeks" On that
issue Governor Campbell, as the leader
of Democracy, makes ready for square
and honorable fight.
The public loves a good fighter; and
Governor CampbelPs characteristic &C
ceptance of the controlling issue would
win him popularity, If it were not that
his opponent is square and honorable
fighter also. The contest between
Campbell and Mckinley will be graf
flying one, because it will be trial of
strength between creditable represent
atives of opposing principles, and no
matter which triumphs, Ohio may be
sure of clean and honest Governor.
The Democratic leader discreetly says
nothing of Presidential issues arising
out of the Ohio campaign. Never
theless, with Mr.. Blaine in perilous
health, and the breach between the
Cleveland-Hill factions widening, the
trial of strength between Mckinley and
Campbell may prove to have within it
the making of a Presidential nom
ination,

1T HAS HIT US HARD.

1t is remembered how savagely the
| NEws-DEMoCRAT was attacked in the
campaign last year, because we told
| laboTing men the exact truth of the
effect of the Mckinley bill upon labor.
A prominent member of manufac
| turing firm of Canton proposed a boy.
| colt, as will be remembered, in public
speech in Canton, of all merchants who
raised prices on account of the increas-
ed duties,
1t will also be remembered that while
the Mckinley bill was pending, Con
gressional convention was held in Mas
sillon, and Major Mckinley was unani-
mously nominated for Congress. The
Major made a speech to that convention
(Which we will shall soon publish) in
which he predicted boom in business,
better paid labor, and a prosperity in
this country never before witnessed, in
case his bill passed Congress.
Well, the bill passed, and what Is the
result? Every laboring man, every
business man, and every real estate
owner in Canton knows the result. The
worst times for business and labor that
we have witnessed since the great
money panic of 1873.
More business failures, more stop
page of manufactures, more shut. downs
and lock. k.outs than for any like period
for quarter of century.
These are facts that every candid
man must admit.
And Canton has been hit hard.
Every business man here, every real
estate owner and every laboring man
feels and knows it.
Every sensible man also knows the
cause. Just at this there is a labor
strike in one of our prominent manu-
featuring establishments, in Canton,
and daily we are called upon to defend
the action of the strikers, and condemn
the firm for endeavoring to supplant
them with cheap labor. These same
men, many of them, were marching
under the gaudily painted banners of
Protection, last fall, shouting for the
very measure that has been their ruin.
Our advice was then unheeded, and
the editor of this paper was abused like
pick-pocket for words spoken as
true as God and Heaven, for
the rights of labor. Hundreds Of men,
good stalwart wen, were in the ranks
of the Protection professions, on the
streets of Canton last fall, shouting for
the champion of monopoly, who are
now houseless and homeless tramps.
And now what of the future? The
way to secure the future, fellow work
men, is to stand up for American man
hood and a poor mans chance. There
is only one instrument that you can
use, and that is the ballot. No newspa-
per can help you or your cause, except
to give solid advice. The remedy for
existing wrongs lies in the power to
make just laws.

THE Fifty-iirst Congress at its first
session created 1923 new offices, net, and
at its second session 1t Great ed 472 more,
above the number discontinued. SO
that in two years, after deducting all
places of employment discontinued,
that Congress added 1885 to the num-
ber of offices and places of employment
under the general government. The
actual net increase in the amount of
salaries paid annually resulting from
this increase of the pay rolls amounts
to $5,198,148. This is the annual net
increase in the governments pay roll,
affected by just one Republican Con-
gress. And every dollar paid out for
these worse than useless offices comes
from the arm of labor. These useless
officers, thus created, are made up large
ly of men who have been repudiated
by the people in elections, and they are
mostly political strikers, hangers.on for
place and pelf, and the brutal agents of
the big boodiers. AS a specimen of
the waste of tax money on these public
nuiNances, witness the creation of a
Commission to visit Europe and inves-
tigate the immigration question, at $40
per day and all expenses. This foolish
and criminal waste of money is to be
invested In ex-members of Congress
out of job, to enable them to make
the tour of Europe as Government of
ficials, upon money wrung from the
people by unnecessary and unjust tax
alton.

CONSIDERABLE feeling has been
stirred up in Massillon, because the
Order of American Mechanics refused
to participate in the exercises on Mem
orial day. The reason given for this
action was because the Rev. j. J.
Stafford of the Catholic church was the
orator of the occasion. The matter has
excited considerable comment outside
of Massillon, where the circumstances
are known. Some of the leading men,
bers of the Order of American Mechan-
les claim they did not refuse to partici-
pate because the Rev. Stafford is q
Catholic, but because of his position on
the public schools. Judging by what
we have read of the controversy, in the
Massilloniau and Massillon Indepen-
dent, the Order of American Mechanics
fail to appreciate the scope and purpose
of Memorial day. 1t was not intended
to make Memorial day, either a parti-
san or a sectarian occasion, but Patriots
day. The Grafton of the Rev. Stat
ford, on this occasion, Is one of the
very best we have read this year. No
one, to read it, would discern his po-
litical or religious creed. 1t is pitched
in a high key, and breathcs the true
spirit of the occasion. Moreover it is
an oratOTical gem of the highest order.
We will suppose a case. Suppose the
greatest cavalry general of the war,
and Ohio's most brilliant soldier, Gen
Sheridan, had been buried at Massillon
Would,the order Of American Mechanics
have refused to participate, with the
patriotic &. A. II. and Sons Of
Veterans in decorating his grave
because he was Catholic?
Suppose that General Franz Sigel, who
was born in Bavaria, and is therefore
foreign born, but who won immortal
honor as an American citizen ard sol
dier, from Wilson's Creek, under Gen
eral Lyon in 1861, to the close of the
war, should be buried in Massillon.
Would the Order of American Mechan-
les refuse to decorate his grave, not
withstanding his brilliant career as a
soldier, because he was not born in the
United States? We must not measure
men and patriotism in this narrow
measure. Patriotism is the highest
and noblest sentiment that can animate
the human heart. 1t is that deep devo-
tion to country that is so unselfsh and
generous that it is willing to
sacrifice everything, even life itself, for
the country's good. Memorial Day is
patriots day. It is day to forget
everything of narrow creeds aud clan.
ism, and remember only the reverent
duty we owe to those who died in the
war, to unity this country, and make it
all free.
Any clan, any society, any order that
fails to appreciate Memorial Day in the
spirit of its conception, is unworthy to
participate in its commemoration, and
that sect, clan, or organization has no
fitting place among our free institu-
| lions,

Especial Correspondence to Democrat

New YORK, June '6.-Some years ago a
series of articles attracted much attention
in an English review and were widely cop
led. Their subject was "the girl of the
periodu and they were remarkable for
their caustic brilliancy and for the almost
bitter condemnation heaped upon that un-
fortunate young female, who is now old
enough. IL she revived from the attack, to
be the mother of the girl of today. Prob
ably she is our girls mother, and it may
be that the singing severity of Mrs. Lyn-
toms words taught her wherein lay her
own errors of ideas, feelings and upbrinR-
ing, and how to train her daughters, so
that the essayist of this last decade of the
century may fiud cause for condemnation
rather than disapproval. However this
may be, certain il is that the maidens who
are now entering womanhood, are more
cultured in mind and more perfectly de-
veloped in body than their immediate pro.
eenitors, and that the healthy pursuits
that have resulted in a higher degree of
physical culture, have also brought
about larger mindedness and a
less inclination for frivolities.
The rage for athletic exercises
has mainly contributed to this result.
1t seems probable that a good deal of this
will be undertaken this year, for Redfern
has a number of advance orders for
mountaineering costumes, after the fash
ion of the accompanying sketch.

that he had contracted his wool at 23

been a Republican all my life and have
