RURAL BREVITIES.

SPECULATION is as dangerous to the
farmer as it is to the city man. Get
ting into debt to buy more land or
more implements is generally specula-
ton.
THE horse that is given rest regu-
larly on Sunday will soon learn to
know when his holiday arrives. and
will appreciate it. Habit is matter
of education. Animals learn the exact
time for receiving meals and will APP
pear at regular hours if they have been
fed regularly.
The damage done by moles may be
great, but the damage done by the in
sects destroyed by moles may be
greater. No creature should be con-
demned as injurious until it is known
as a fact that it does not confer CORE
spondingly as great benefit as the sup
posed injury inflicted.
The Florida Dispatch says: Every
farmer who is troubled by moles ought
to try a few castor bean plants. We
knew an old gardener who was noted
for raising vegetable who always had
a few dozen of these plants scattered
about his garden for the purpose OF
keeping away moles
AFTER the Towering season most OF
the dubious plants are anything but at
tractive. These may be lifted as soon
as leaves begin to wither, laying them
in clumps in shady place, with some
soil over their lower parts, to insure
ripening. Store in dry place until
another planting season.
Corn water will absorb, according to
the American Dispensatory, about thir-
ty-six per cent. of it's own weight IN
salt, and boiling about forty per cent.
This makes what is known as satu-
rated brine, which always means all
the salt that the water will dissolve.
In sailing butter the brine seldom Is
made stronger than thirty to thirty four
per cent. of salt.

Future Pros& srity Mortgaged by Repub-
Acan Legislation.
We should all be sincerely gratified
that the republicans have kept one of
the campaign pledges which they were.
so ready to make. They promised to
reduce the surplus. They have done
more than this by extinguishing it and
leaving a balance on the wrong side of
the books. The democratic administra-
ton left a surplus in the treasury
of 500, 900, 600. The first republic
an congress in succession has reversed
this and left the country to deal with a
deficit of $50. 900, 900. The republicans
have left their democratic successors
with one of the best.possible chances to
teach an object lesson in economy.
This task will not be an easy one, es-
pecially as the retiring congress has
mortgaged the income of the future,
but it will be met, as every duty of the
party has been met, and If the time
comes when the party of the people Is
called upon to pass over to others the
responsibilities of Office it is safe to as
sumo that it will be able to show
solvent treasury and sound credit.
When the history of the congress
that has now gone out of existence is
considered, one cannot help wondering
that the party which held its majority
did not do more serious and lasting
harm during all the years during which
they held the undisputed control OF
both branches of congress and were,
as well, represented in the white
house. 1t is an interesting political
study. There was enough for the
democrats to do, in the way of reform,
| when Mr. Cleveland was elected, es-
pecially as the senate was hostile.
What could be done was done and
many things that proved impossible
were attempted by the way of declar-
| ing a principle. Mr.. Cleveland failed
| of reelection because he was too
honest to resort to subterfuge.
Then the republicans came into pow
err One would have imagined that
there would have been lesson for
| them in the defeat of Blaine, but, no,
| there has never been such financial
profiigacy; never such political usurpa,
| ton, and never such individual corrup
| ton as since their reinstatement. The
party deserves the fate it met at the
| polls last November, which will be
| emphasized at the polls in the fall OF

.NO.ANA.s POSITION.
Going Down in the Scale of Doubtf
States.


States.
If Indiana is necessary to the suocass
of the republicans next year it is a lit
tie surprising that no Indiana repub-
lican who has any prospect of carving
the state has as yet put himself in the
hands of his friends or been mentioned
in connection with the nomination.
There is not, it is true, much presiden-
t1al timber in the republican party of
Indiana at present. In fact, there
never was. Oliver p. Morton was the
incarnation of Indiana republicanism
in his day. When he died he left no
successor, and none has since arisen.
The state has developed Dudleys and
Illusions by the score, but these men
are the Warwicks who make kings-in
republican party politics They are not
IN the line of succession to the throne
The republican party managers are
at sea In regard to Indiana The impos-
sibility of finding an Indianian in their
party who could possibly carry the
state has driven them into the Blaine
camp. They are there now. If there
was leader among the Indiana repub-
licans who could command the conf
dence and support of the party in his
state he could carry an unbroken dele
CATION into the republican convention.
There is great deal of state pride
among the Hoosiers. They have, in
past years. voted as a unit in republic
an national conventions for citizens of
their state who were known to be
lacking in all the qualities of real
greatness. This year, however, there
is not Hoosier in sight upon whom
they could be united with suffi .ient
degree of cordially and enthusiasm to
influence results
Indiana has fallen to second place in
the list of doubtful states In the four
presidential contests from 1876 to 1888
inclusive, that state occupied the COM
manding position of being the only one
in the west that was at all debatable.
Less in population and in commercial
strength in the electoral college than
either Illinois or Wisconsin, she over
Swallowed both of those states in polit-
zeal Importance. In the next campaign
her position will be less preeminent,
but it would still entitle her to recog-
milton at republican hands if she could
offer a candidate for president whose
name, record and popularity would at
ford at least prospect of carrying the
state. That she has not done SO is an
evidence of despair. If, under such
conditions. the nomination of one Oh
her own unworthy sons should be
forced upon her, the state could be con.
fdently relied upon to repudiate it.

is ambitious to save the state, and who

ONLY ONE ISSUE.
The Reformation of Unjust Tax Laws the
Object of the Democrats.


Object of the Democrats.
Mr. Mills has done the country
service in his clear-cut showing of the
reasons why the question of silver coin
age is not and at present cannot be
party issue.
Neither party favors free coinage, and
neither opposes it, On that question
opinion is divided in both parties.
For good or i'll, as Mr.. Mills shows,
we already have free coinage in effect
to the extent of fifty-four million dol
lars a year. and no new law on the
subject could add more than ten mil
lion dollars or twelve million dollars
wear to that. The difference is too
small to be regarded as a factor of i'm
portance in the distress which has
overtaken Il large part of the popula-
ton.
That distress is due to quite another
cause. and. whatever one may think
with respect to silver coinage, the pres
ent duty, the one thing of overwhelm'
ing concern is to remove the cause OF
increasing poverty for the farmer. re-
duced wages for the workman and the
rapid absorption of the country's wealth
into the hands of a favored class by the
| operations of unjust tax laws which in
| crease the cost OF everything the poor
man buys and lower the price of every
thing he sells.
| That is the one party issue. The bat
tie of the people against monopoly
| must be fought out to the finish be-
| fore party lines can be adjusted to any
question of less Importance. The
reformation of unjust tax laws is the
one great concern, and for that demo-
| Gratis who. like MIR. Mills, believe in
free silver and democrats who oppose
it, will work together till the iniquity
is swept into the limbo where the
other kind of slavery lies buried.--N.
