TucKer was addressing the mouse Blaine
had the temerity to rise and question him
concerning the accuracy OF his statements.
Tucker in reply intimated his lack Of conf
dence in Blaine's ability to pass correct
Judgment on legal subjects, as he was not
a lawyer. Blaine's memory, always re
markable, stood him well on this occasion,
for it enabled him to cite something which
every one present, save Tucker and him
self, had forgotten; SC was the details of an
egregious blunder committed by Tucker
while attorney general of Virginia, and
Blaine concluded by saying that If the
commission of such a mistake was the re-
suit of being a lawyer, he, for one, con-
graduated himself on not being member
of the legal fraternity. Tucker thereupon
said his honorable friend from Maine re-
minded him of the Pharisee in the parable,
apparently thanking Dsity for having him
created uniike-"You!' broke in Mr..
Blaine, who had seated himself in the semi
circle Immediately in front of Mr.. fuckers
desk. This happy interruption was greeted
with roars OF laughter, which completely
drowned further remarks from Tucker,
who was famous both as lawyer and wit.
A high tribute TO Mr.. Blaine's ability
and popularity was paid in his election rs
When it became necessary for him TO re-
tire, the Democrats having taken posses
sion of the house in the elections, Mr..
Blaine made neat valedictory in ad journ-
ing the session and dropped the gavel. A
scene of tumultuous enthusiasm followed.
The immense assemblage, floor and gal
leries, rose and greeted him with repeated
salvos of applause, run ming in waves from
side to side. with almost delirious cheer
ing, clapping of hands and waving OF
handkerchiefs and newspapers. For many
minutes he was detained. bowling and &C
knowledging with emotion this tribute TO
his popularity, and for half an hour after
ward there poured toward him a stream of
members and citizens anxious to press his
hand and express in words the admiration
already shown in signs. Mr.. Blaine has in
later years, after many greater triumphs,
often spoken of this incident as the one of
his whole career which he remembered
most fondly.
1t was, in fact, the beginning of that re-
markable personal popularity for which be
has since been noted-a popularity which
has caused his name to ring and echo in
every dell and valley, on every prairie and
in every city, town and village in the coun-
try; popularity which attracted to him
host of loyal admirers, who refused TO be
driven away by evil report or to be discour-
aged by disappointment. Blaines career
has been full of the drama of achievement
and of failure, of quarrel and humiliation,
OF the triumphs Of leadership, the victories

Farm, give thought to the anxious
hours devoted to the preparation OF
the animal for the struggle? The
trainer has for weeks and months been
up early in the morning and watched
over his charge all day and during the
night, and he has asked himself a
thousand times, what the result will be.
Will victory come to him or will de-
feat bend him to the dustP The spec
tator is only alive to the rush and dash
of the moment. He knows but little
of the long and weary days of prepare
ton and he dismisses the flight of
speed as something which filed up
merely a brief pause in his life,
which gratifed a passing fancy. If
the spectator could be induced to
think Of all the hours of toll and ankle

fuller of charity for the beaten. The

THE TWO POINTS.
Production and Distribution Must Both
Re ConSiderod.

Production and Distribution Must Both
Be Considered.
Production and distribution are the
factors of enjoyment. Labor is the
only source OF production, enjoyment
is plethoric or parsimonous In the exact
ratio that justice and equity or greed
control distribution There is nothing
the matter with production, 1T is ever
on the alert and ready and willing to
produce that for which there is a hui
man want, and yet we find that those
enjoying the least, stinted to the bare
necessaries of human existence, are
those who produce most if not all
wealth. The bare statement of this
fact, shows conclusively that something
is radically wrong in the adjustment of
human condition, and at once begets
the inquiry, where and what is there
wrong. It will not be found in pro-
duction, it must then be sought for in
distribution. Labor alone produces
wealth, it's distribution is controlled by
transportation and money. Trans
portation hauls the various prod
ucts of labor from the point
of production to where they are
to be exchanged. and money
i~completes the exchange. On investi-
cation it will be found that these two.
prime factors of distribution, money
and transportation, are almost abso-
lutely controlled by a very small per
cent of the people, and that they do
not contribute one particle to the store
Of wealth, with a double action scoop
shovel manufactured by Monopoly,
Greed & Co., and that justice nor
equity are not stockholders in the
Doodle concern, and that their voice
has no power with the company. The
excess which goes to the enrichment
| Of rJhe manufacturer is but pfttance
of the exsction of the money and
transportation lords. The manufac-
turea is engaged in wealth producing,
whilst money and transportation only
business is robbing, both the producer
of the raw material and manufactured
product hence the lords contribute
largely to the tariff racket in order to
keep up the unnatural warfare between
the two classes of wealth producers,
that they may skin them in detail
It's their plan Of hattle, only this and

Cleanliness Necessary.

Cleanliness is the first law in the
dairy, beginning with the cow in the
stable and pasture, and continuing the
process radically through to the deliv-
cry of the butter in the package to the
buyer. All dairy utensils must be
kept scrupulously clean, by scalding
with water, then washing with dis
solved sal soda and securing with salt
Clean, sweet dairy-rooms should only
be used, and they should be remote
from all sinks, drains or cesspools,
and where odors from the stables and
pig-sties cannot reach them. Abstract

Schools.
