Fusion.

Tom and Bill were two old topers.
They differed in politics and had often
had their fights and discords. But at
heart they did not differ, and were al
ways ready to join their forces against
a common enemy and to help each
other in distress.
One evening Republican Tom found
Democratic Bill in the ditch so badly
paralyzed with the spirit of his
party that he was physically helpless.
He begged Tom for help. Tom STAN
mered out that he wasn't overly
stout" himself but would do what he
could. So Tom tumbled himself into
the ditch with the best grace he could.
After his maudlin efforts had failed to
recover Bill he then found that he
could not get out himself. So. to make
the best of bad situation Tom said,
well, Bill, can't get you out, but if
it will do you any good can lie down
with you" ''All ri-right" stammered
Bill 'you just make me chairman and
we'll hold fusion meetin'. ,"
agreed" said Tom. Its time all
true men jined hands to beat the
cussed Peoples party out'n it's boots "
And thus they fused till after
election. when the Growing of the AL
lance rooster awakened them to a
knowledge of their situation.

The troublesome Alliance.

The following is from an Ohio cor
respondent to the New York Press:
1.-The Farmers Alliance, which the
Democracy believed would be power
full ally in this campaign, now turns
out to be quite as dangerous an ele-
ment to them as to the Republicans.
This is due to the fact that the ALI
ance or as they call it here, 1.-The Peo-
pies party" is crowding the finance
question in season and out of season.
The half dozen women which this new
organization has travelling through
the state lecturing at farmers picnics
deal almost exclusively with free sill
yer. and do not seem to see any other
question in the fight. In fact all
their speakers, and they have a num-
Der of them canvassing the state, are
pressing the seductive cry of more
money upon every audience they adj
dress"
The Press correctly sizes up the sit
uation. Phe battle cry of the Peoples
party is more money; the politicians
of Ohio are learning that they cannot
cover up this question with tariff dust
and there is not the least doubt that
one party would be as glad as the 9TH
or to be rid of this new element in
politics. -To3ska Advocate.

Demand for Heavy Engines.

At no time in history of railroads
have the efforts to improve the work
of engines received more attention
than at the present. Mechanics are
attempting to determine the most per-
feet combinations OF speed and
strength, and at the same time econo-
mize in the use of fuel Each year
the standard of locomotives in this
country is raised higher, and the en-
gines of the present time are great
improvement on those of even ten
years ago. Some master mechanics
are of the opinion that the heaviest
locomotive now built is as heavy as it
is practicable to build one, while
others predict that still heavier pas
senger and freight engines will be
built and the roadbeds of the country
so improved as to admit of high speed
with safety, even if an engine weighs
One-third more than the ten-wheel
passenger engines now in use. What
the future of mechanism will bring
forth to increase the speed and power
of engines is a problem of interest to
others than mechanics. Indianapolis

The Same Old Trick.

As soon as the Farmers Alliance
made itself a power in the land mys-
ferrous whispers and charges concern
ing it's leaders and prominent members
began to be heard.
Generally these charges took The
shape of vague heresay' testimony,
coming from no responsible source
and too thin and indefinite to be run
down and promptly squelched..
All great reform movements have
been attacked in the same way says
an exchange. Their opponents have
always attempted to weaken the in
f1uence of the leaders by making all
sorts of charges against them. The
surest way to defeat reform Is to
make it's friends distrust each other.
1t is an old trick. and an easy one
to work more or less frequently. A
wink or a shake of the head when a
mans name is mentioned. an inquiry
about his financial condition, a ques-
ton about an alleged rumor, an init
nation that much might be revealed
If certain persons were willing to
speak-all these are familiar lodges,
and sometimes they accomplish their
object. And yet it requires very lit
tie ability, and simply lack of scruple
to work them. When everything else
fails, a pretense is made of sympathiz-
ing with the objects of the reformers,
and surprise is expressed that the
merits of some of them have not been
recognized. and the question is asked
why they have been kept in the back
ground.
The Alliance is going through all
OF these direct and indirect attacks.
and its members seem to thoroughly
understand the tactics employed against
them. The enimies of this great re.
form organization will have to revise
their plan of campaign. 1t is useless
for them to continue making charges
it they are not going to prove some
thing. The old common law maxim
that a man is presumed to be innocent
until his guilt is proved holds good In
these matters and the Alliancemen
are not such greenhorns as to pull
down every tried and trusted worker
for their cause the moment the tongues
OF idle gossips begin to wag against
them. There is secret and sci.
fish motive back of all these at
tacks, and the Alliancemen know all
about it.

Domestic Dots.

In boiling meat for soup use cold water
to extract the juices, but if the meat is
wanted for itself alone put into boiling
water.
When washing fine white fannels add
tablespoonful of pulverized borax to a
pailful of water. This will keep them soft
and white.
In washing blinds and dark paint al
ways add several teaspoonfuls Of ammonia
to the water, and when dry rub the paint
with kerosene oil.
1t is sometimes surprising to note how
early children learn to consider right and
wrong. Undue restraint and overmuch
urging never help them in this respect,
however.
The fashion of using canton flannel
cloth under the linen tablecloth is very
desirable one. 1t prevents noise when
dishes are set down; saves much wear on
fine linen cloths, making them last longer,
and gives body to an old or thin cloth.
Few mothers ever put shoes on their
babies feet until they are old enough to
walk, and it is well. No mother should do
it, as the stiffness of the shoes is apt to in
jure the free and natural development of
the muscles. The dainty crocheted bootees
are the proper thing for babies in long
clothes at least.
Most people in cleaning lamp chimneys
use bristle brush with wire handle or a
cloth wrapped over stick, both Of which
are liable to scratch the glass, making it
break more readily when expanded by
the heat. A sponge the size of the lamp
chimney tied to the end of slender pine
stick is better than either.

Irrigation for Fruits.

Irrigation for small and large fruits
generally more than pays for the cost
of the work in two years. By irriga-
ton in this sense I mean watering the
fruits according to any device, by tile,
bitches or an overhead leader. There
is scarcely fruit orchard that could
not be supplied with all the water
needed in hot weather. In billy coun-
tries the cheapest way probably is to
stream toward the orchard, or run q
tile drain from it to the plants. Sub.
irrigation is always better than sur
face, especially on clay lands which
will be apt to '.bake" in hot weather.
By means OF tile drain the orchard
can be irrigated and drained at the
same time. By leaving them open in
wet weather the water will run out
and by closing the outlets in dry sea-
sons the water will be retained. Tests
made with this system show that the
yield of small fruits is increased thir-
ty per cent. and a corresponding in
crease is made with the larger ones.
Home grounds and gardens are not
as rule sufficiently irrigated and
drained, and it is pity when it can
be done so easily. If nothing else the
water can be drawn from the pump. in
the barnyard and conducted to the
garden by tile drain. 1t always pays
to dig a small pond near the orchard
for drainage purposes. This can be
used then as a fish pond and a place
for gathering ice in the winter. Such
pond is of great value in many ways,
and it well repays the outlay for con-
struction. j. D. Morrow, in American

right in a few clear crisp, logical re-

her. 1t was intended for a whisper,
but it penetrated every nook and cor
ner of the room. 1t said: Helen,

Care OF Harness.

To oil harness take the harness to a
room where you can unbuckle it and
separate the parts completely. Wash
each part we'll in lukewarm water to
which has been added little potash.
Scrub well with brush, until all
grease and dust has been removed.
Work the pieces well under the hand
until they become supple. 1t won't do
to oil until it becomes so. Let the
parts dry in a place where they will do
so slowly. When just moist oil. For
this purpose use cod liver oil. It is
the best for the purpose. Besides if
you were to use heats foot the rats
and mice are your enemies at once,
while they will not touch harness
oiled with cod liver oil. Give good
dose of oil to all parts, then hang up
to dry. When dry rub well with 3

Farm Notes.

A hog that contains fair proportion of
fat and lean will bring the highest price in
market.
It is said that farms in Connecticut are
offered for sale at less than one-half what
the buildings cost, with no takers.
To remove rust from plows, stick their
noses deep in the soil It's good deal
like holding your nose to grindstone.
If you want fat hogs or fat cattle, feed
them fat feed; but if you like lean "crit-
ters," the poorest feed is sure every time.
The biggest yield of wheat recorded in
this country was eighty bushels to the
acre. It was raised by a farmer near Salt
Lake City some years ago.
Bear IN mind that barrel salt contains
lime. When, therefore, you use the ma
terial to salt butter you are encouraging
the production of first class article of
soap
Appearance is an important factor in
marketing eggs at this time. 1t is not
only important that they should be fresh
from streaks and dark spots.
One advantage with ducks is that they
rarely stray away from home When
night approaches ducks usually make a
start for home. But turkeys will go to
roost wherever night overtakes them
1t is standing rule among experienced
shepherds to count the flock every time it
is seen. If one is missed it is hunted up
at once. 1t may be fast in fence or in
some other trouble. and may be lost by q
very short delay.
The Victoria government gives cents
bonus for all butter bringing "a cents in
the London markets, to encourage the
dairy industry. Butter is shipped fresh in
square boxes, holding ffty-six pounds
which are made in New Zealand
There is no branch of agricultural in
dustry which occupies the attention Of
scientific men so much as the dairy And
dairymen cannot expect to excel in their
work unless they are studious of all that
is learned of their art by the work of the
scientific experimenter.
The best way for young city men and
boys to learn how to farm is to live with
good country farmers, as apprentices, q
few years, more or less. Their fathers
can then present them with snug little
places, when they become Of age, and
make them independent for HE.

A TRUST CHAMPION.
wiping Out tho F1imsy Argument Of an
Eastern journal.

Eastern journal.
The Albany, N. Y, Evening Jour
nal is making persistent though
rather belated assertionof its unshaken
loyalty to trusts by referring to the
present low price of sugar as an evil
dence that the trust is all right and
never had a MONOPOLY. 1t asserts that
the ''demagogic outcries'' have led the
people to believe s.it had monopolized
the sugar refining facilities of the land.
but that Spreckles has always COM
peted with it." To which it adds
THAT the trust was organized as a re-
action from the excessive competition
which had rendered sugar refining I'M
profitable. y
A person of very moderate intelli-
gence would find no difficulty in ask
ing how, if the trust did not suspend
competition which forms the essential
feature of a monopoly, it would do
any good as a reaction against the
alleged excessive competition. The

important from two facts which the
trust organ carefully suppresses in it's
advocacy of the sugar trust The first
is that Spreckles did not compete with
the sugar trust east of the Rocky
mountains during the period in which
its control of the market was most
absolute and extortionate. His estab-
lishment of a competing refinery in
Philadelphia was a result of the high
prices which the trust established, and
illustrates the principle which The
Champion has always maintained, that
unless the trust possesses, as the
Standard Oil company has heretofore,
some lever for choking off competition,
they will bring at once their own
remedy and their own punishment by
calling new establishments into ex-
istence.
The other fact this champion of the
trusts suppresses is no less significant.
The article is based on the statements
of New York telegram with regard
to the reduction in the wholesale
prices of refined sugar. That tele-
gram states, and that trust organ
scrupulously omits to mention, that
two years ago sugar sold at 81 cents,
while now it is a fraction below
cents. The reduction in the duty on
raw sugars used by the refneries aver
ages about cents. This leaves the
margin of "a cents as the extra price
which the trust levied on sugars while
it had a monopoly of the trade. This
represented burden on the people
while it lasted of little over $50, 900, :
900 year. With that fact before us
the threadbare claim that trusts do not
enhance prices to the consumer is
shown to be a shallow fraud.
AS to the claim that there was Eek
cessive competition in sugar refining
prior to the organization of the trust,
two facts furnish a complete reply:
First there was not as much competi-
ton as there is since it's operations
have had their full result; second, the
sugar industry prior to the trust was
we'll known to be a solvent and pros
porous interest. Its members, when
the market became overstocked and
improbable, had the same liberty as
farmers and the great mass of other
producers of suspending operations Or
seeking some less crowded field of in
dustry.
