The Argus's Man-About-Town is satisfied
that Cleveland will be the next Presidential
nominee of the Democratic party.
There seems to be hardly doubt that Cleve
land Will be again summoned to the front as lead
er of the Democratic forces. He stands as one OF
the best representatives Of all that is fair, wise
and polite in the principles Of his party.
AS the :Argus's Man-About- Town is also
the man about the office who writes edito-
rails, 1t is fair to presume that Cleveland is
the Argus's choice. The Bangor CONNER
cial, on the other hand, is evidently much
against Cleveland; for did it not say OF
Thursday that the Democracy meant to have
free coinage Of silver and would not be
deferred from its purpose on account of the
views of any individual whose utterances on
the question are formulated with the shadow
Of Wall streets" The ANY individual" re-
ferred to is evidently the Grover Cleveland
so highly eulogized in the Argus of Saturday
morning. The Commercial alleges as the
reason for this slur at Cleveland his oppo.
sition to free coinage. The Argus says
nothing about free coinage or Cleveland's
letter opposing it. Is it not Iabout time fol
the Argus to let the public know whether il
is for or against free coinage. 1t is going
on now from day to day making arguments
in favor of free coinage while it protests
that 1t is en- the fence. and gives color to it;
protestations by giving its allegiance to
Cleveland. Does the Argus intend to de-
clare itself, or does 1t expect to assist the
rest of the Democratic party in standing a
wh0le-d0llar candidate on a clipped dollar
platform for the edifcation and SURFACES of
the American people?

The seizure of the American fishing boats
at Eastport was rather petty business, and 1t
Is altogether probable, that when the true
inwardness Of 1t is known it will be found
that 1t was suggested by personal spite on
the part Of somebody rather than by any de-
sire to protect the rights of Dominion fisher
men. AS everybody knows who is familiar
with PASSPORT and its surroundings, it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to determine where the
American waters leave off In that locality
and where British waters begin. A fisher
man Of either nationality. without the slight
est Intention of trespassing, will frequently
find himself before he knows 1t in tine waters
of the other, and If these accidental trespas-
sings are to be taken account of by the gov
eminent perpetual warfare can be kept up.
We are inclined to think when the facts of
this Eastport seizure are called to the atten-
tion Of the Dominion authorities, and 1t is
shown that the poaching was not intentional
the seized boats will be released. That GER
tainly will be the case unless the Dominion
government is willing to commit itself to the
small business of infllcting petty annoyances
on our fishermen merely for the purpose of
stirring up bad blood between the two coun-
tries.

Ticks on the Lambs.

Lambs will not thrive when they are
infested with ticks. To get rid of
these, the lambs may be dipped in a
kerosene emulsion made as follows:
Half a pound of common soap is cut up
into shavings and dissolved in one gal
lon of boiling water. Half pint Of
kerosene oil is then added and thor
oughly mixed to a creamy emulsion.
This is poured on to the lambs back
and guided and worked down through
the wool until it is saturated and every
part of the body is reached by the
liquid. If there are many lambs, a
sufficient quantity of the emulsion is
made and put in small tank, into
which the lamb is dipped and well
rubbed to distribute the liquid all owe.
it except the head. This is a cheap
and safe preparation, costing about
two cents for each lamb. For small
flock, dozen or so, it is good plan to
go over each fleece and kill eacn ticl,
and the eggs with small pair Of scis.

SELECTING SWINE.

Points to BE Considered by Farm ers Liy-
ing in a Cold Climate.
There is no better time to cast about
for such pigs as experience tells us are
required for winter weather in a cold
climate. In other lines of business
men are on the alert to discover what
things in use have faults, and require
to be eliminated from ones business.
The question of fitness stands first.
Tradition cuts nc figure, and simply
that thing has acquired foothold
upon the premises has no weight with
any sensible man, provided the article
is not the best thing in use for the pur-
pose for which it is kept A pig with
out any hair will go through winter
may do so with some protection and
good feeding without manifest suffer-
ing. But this does not prove that a
good coat of hair is not required; that
the beast may not need extra rations
and warm shelter during severe
weather. The swine owner knows
under single blanket, he draws a
second one over him. A like rule
for securing comfort would in
duce the pig to draw a second blSnlSet
over him, if he could do this and had
the blanket within reach. But in this
direction he is utterly helpless. The
only dependence the pig has for COM
fort, whose destiny is to go through the
next winter, supposing that he is to
trough it, is, first, upon whether fig
uratively, he has two blankets or only
one over him; and second, as to wheth-
err his rations will be suitable and
abundant for such exposure. Certain
pigs of the spring litter already show
how well or how lily they are adapted
to meet cold weather without showing
great discomfort. Very few essentials
cover all the points Large vital or
gans, namely, lungs and digestive or
gans, with the liberal outer coating re-
ferred to, are essentials.-Prairie Farm

Next Year 1t Will BE Buried Too Deep
for Resurrection.
Gen. Russell A. Alger has long been
possessed of the desire to occupy the
white house. He has encouraged the
desire The public has not nor will it.
1t is difficult for even the most acute
observer to understand why the ex-
governor of Michigan persists in fos-
tering his presidential boomlet. He is
utterly void of the qualities of a states
man and possesses not the first requis-
tie which one looks for in the first man
of this nation. He can rest his claim
for the support of the people on one
foot alone, and that is, he was in the
late war. He has received moderate
share of applause at G. A, R. reunions
and encampments and this has given
rise in his mind to the belief that the
people of this country will not be salts
fed until he wears the mantle of Wash
ington. Never was there greater mis-.
understanding OF popular sentiments.
Gen. Alger was mediocre governor
who could not succeed himself. Re-
publican congresses made him a
wealthy man, and on this wealth he
depends for support at national con-
ventions. His presidential boomlet in
1888 was a poor, sickly thing, and was
kept alive on liberal doses of money.
The Michigan delegation, while os-
tensibly aiding it, wore large-sized
sleeves so as not to cramp their laugh.
ter.
Gen. Russell Alger in 1883 had one
thing to commend him-his frankness.
Early in the season he declared him
self candidate and commenced to lay
his wires accordingly. -Four years
later we find him again yearning to
become the choice of his party. BY
his side stands his barrel ready to be
tapped and the contents drawn off.
After the convention he will repair to
the presidential boomlet graveyard
and another stone will mark the spot
where Michigan's ex-governor's lofty
am bition rests in peace. And the worlf
will cry amen.-Chicago Globe.

less and Honest Candidates.
McKinleyism finds no favor at the
hands of the Iowa democracy. Hard
listed farmers have seen the folly of
taxing their industry for the benefit OF
sugar producers. They have justified
the prediction of the Louisiana planter
who warned his friends in the repub-
lican party that the establishment OF
the principle of bounties as the alter
native OF tariff taxes would be the
death knel1 of the protective system.
With reason these democrats of Iowa
have denounced that form OF paternal-
ism which has substituted a direct for
an indirect bounty. They have learned
what is the tendency of customs taxes
that interfere with the freedom OF ex-
change on which depends the pros
perty of the producer. No longer Will
the farmers of Iowa give assent to the
proposition that laws must be made for
the enrichment of class. They have
entered upon a campaign which will be
fought to the end without compromise
with paternalism. They appreciate the
impossibility of giving to the raisers OF
corn and wheat the same advantage al
lowed to other classes, and stand on
true democratic doctrine when they
assert that what may not be done for
all shall not be done for any.
On such platform they have wisely
placed candidate who proved his
fearlessness when he challenged the
intrenched republicans of his state on a
platform opposed to the theory of pro-
lection. Gov. Boies has gained strength
by his exemplifcation of the difference
between honest government for the
people and an unbridled patronage Of
the monopolists. He has shown the
people of his state that under demo.
cratic administration it has been posi-
BILE to undo many of the wrongs estab-
lished by continuous republican rule.
In the contest thus commenced the
democrats of Iowa will have the SYM
pathy of citizens of the whole country
and such support as may be needed tc
drive to the wall the proponents OF
higher taxes and extended tribute. To
them the Times gives loyal greeting.
In their triumph the welfare of the

for dismay be shown the hosts who
