has written us a letter in which it
is evident that he has made up his

this is what he says:

A CRY FOR QUARTER.

Mckinley's Queer Method Of Educating
the People.
Mr.. Mckinley, who has been elected
governor of Ohio because he was Il E
author of the "bravest and best tart 4
bill ever framed" according to the high
authority of the Tribune, sends cut
over the country to-day proclama-
tion which begins with this announce
ment: II am convinced tia. the judg-
ment of our citizens does not approve
the constant agitation of the tariff is
sue in the face of the fact that it can
accomplish nothing" That is nothing
more nor less than request for ST.
lence on the part of everybody, demo-
Gratis and tariff reformers in particu-
lar, concerning the merits of this same
"bravest and best tariff ever framed"
One would suppose that the more a
tariff OF that kind were dis cussed, the
clearer would its beauties shine forth.
This is the view OF the Tribune and
other republican authorities. who in
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1891-12-02

terpret McKinley's election as a s;sn
in the heavens to the party to make
the Mckinley tariff the chief issue in
the next presidential campaign OF next
year. But how can it be made the
chief issue if everybody is to keep still
about it? Mr.. Mckinley says the cleo
ton in Ohio means that the people are
against "censtans agitation OF the
subject, and yet we are constantly
told that the people OF the country
must be educated to the Mckinley
tariff before they can appreciate the
advantages of DEAFNESS and the de-
grading and demoralizing effects OF
cheapness. A campaign of education
by silence might be possible in Qua
lser community, but we feel justified in
predicting that it will be a failure if it
shall be attempted by the republican
managers in this country next year

One letter is the cordial and digni.
fed expression of courtesy of man
whom reverses cannot disturb, the
other the absurd and pctulant COM
plant of man who never stood half
a chance of winning and lost the
support of large portion of his party
by his foolish and injudicious cam
paign speeches.
The public will see at glance what
would have happened had conditions
been reversed. Had Campbell been
elected governor of Ohio the people of
that state would have had an execu-
tive whom democrats and republicans
alike could have respected as a man;
had Fassett been elected governor of
New York the people of the Empire
state would have had needless, indis-
Greet young man liable at any moment
to bring reproach upon them by some
monumental blunder or exasperating
break
All of which leads to the conclusion
that before a man aspires to govern
millions he should learn to govern him
self. --Chicago Globe.

INDICATED BY TIE ELECTIONS.
Probable Complexion Of thu Electoral
Vote Next Year.

tTODaDle SU1hP'cAiOH ~ WV
Vote Next Year.
1t could not be expected the repub-
licans would concede more than that
the result of the recent voting is indie
cisive and affords them a hopeful out
look for the presiden tial election. IT
requires activity of the imagination
and ignoring of impalatable facts for
them to extract party comfort from the
situation. Gov Russell says his cleo
ton means that Massachusetts is for
tariff reform and democratic lines, and
Gov. Boes insists that Iowa can be
held by the democrats. In both OF these
states the republicans were exhorted
to vote in view of their assignments
for 1892 Their efforts were prodigious
to leave no doubt as to the standing OF
the states in the general bout They
must be conceded to be uncertain and
to be carried only by tremendous ef-
fort. For the republicans they are in
dispensable. The democrats do not
need them to succeed.
Democrats coucede Ohio to the repub-
licans next year, although they have
been unable under the most favorable
circumstances to reach 10000 majority.
The democrats have Just swept New
York by good deal more than double
the republican majority in Ohio, 1t
would be bsurd to class the latter as
republican next year and not give New
York to the democrats. With the latter
in the democratic column, it is easy to
figure out majority OF the electoral
vote. 1t is evident from the voting
done in Maryland, Virginia, and other
southern states that they will all be
carried by the democrats next year
They have 159 electoral votes New
Jersey has just indicated that it is
more strongly democratic than ever.
Connecticut is equally safe. Indiana
gave over 20, 900 majority for the demo-
Gratis in vote of much political sig
niEcance last year. The recent vote
at Indianapolis, the home OF the presl-
dent, was more democratic than usual,
and sign of the popular drift. There
can be no rational republican hope OF
CARRYING Indiana in the national cleo
ton. Then New York, Indiana, New
Jersey and Connecticut have 81
electoral votes, which, added to the 159
from the south, give 226 out of 444, OF
three more than enough to elect. Not
one of these states can fairly be re-
garded as doubtful on the present IS
sues. Not one of them would have
been lost to the democrats had they all
voted on the Sd. If the captious par
tisan insists that Harrison will be the
candidate, and make his own state
doubtful. there arc seven votes in
Michigan certain for the democrats,
| and Montana has three and Rhode
Island four that are classed as demo
| cratic These will make 225 without
| Indiana, or two more than enough to
| elect. Wisconsin will have II votes.
1t gave the democrats some $500 last
year and certainly cannot be claimed
as sure republican state. On the
whole, the democrats have reason to
feel extremely complacent over the
political situation as indicated by the
recent voting. The straws pointing il
| their direction are OF the sturdy texture
that allow birds of promise to roost up
On them.-St. Paul Globe.

A PROFITABLE CROP.
Beans Pay Whenever and Wherever Til
Are Properly Cultivated.

Beans Pay Whenever and Wherever They
Are Properly Cultivated.
Beans require rich soil, but if the
oean fodder is carefully saved and fed
with refuse beans to sheep the crop is
not nearly SO exhaustive as many 9TH
ers. Only the grain is sold, and thirty
bushels Of beans per acre will not re-
move more plant food than can be re-
placed by two hundred weight each Of
phosphate and nitrate of soda. Years
ago, in war times, beans suddenly AL
vanced in price to 81, and even SIS per
bushel. Nothing in grain farming
compares with beans for raising money
quickly and with moderate amount Of
labor. Many farms were bought and
mainly paid for with the proceeds Of
the bean crop. Beans took their place
in the rotation Acrop yielding twenty
five to thirty bushels per acre sold
often for 500 per acre, or as much as
the original cost Of the land. BY the
time the whole farm had been ''beaned''
it was paid for. Beans were put in
with drill or with bean planters, set
ting the plants in hills with rows TAR
enough apart one way to cultivate be-
tween Most of the cultivation was
done with horse power. Now there
are embarrassing machines that
greatly lessen the backaching labor Of
bean pulling Thrashing, too, that
used to be done with the fail or by
tramping out the beans, is now accom-
plished more perfectly by bean-thrash
ers. Medina, n Y, is region where
more beans are grown than anywhere
