New York Times, stand Up.

Nei0 YORK. sun.
The New York Times now announces
that it would not have supported the
Republican candidate for President in
1875 had Mr.. Blaine been the nominee;
and that eight years later, in 1884, 1t
parted company with the Republican
party, with which it had been so long
and so Intimately connected" because,
in the opinioh of the proprietor, MIR.
Blaine was morally unfit TO be Presi-
dent.
There is no particular reason why the
New York Times should not take advan-
tage OF the present occasion to review
the history OF its break with the Re-
publican party, and its reputation Of
the Republican candidate. The incl
dent was OF importance, to the news
paper in question, both in the immedi-
ate and in the lasting consequences
affecting its prosperity and influence.
The Times exercised its nnquestionable
right Of free thought and free speech
when it turned Mugwump rather than
support Mr.. Blaine. Its courage was
unquestionable. Nobody could inter
fere; nobody did interfere.
But it seems 70 us that when the
Times voluntarily offers TO the public
this chapter OF Its past as an iilustra-
ton Of moral grandeur and lofty patri.
otisin, for which all honest men and all
friends Of good government should be
profoundly grateful, II becomes proper
to inquire:

sponsibility for honest government

Pennsylvania is naturally q Blaine
State to the backbone, and it is not sur.
prising that the Republican State con-
vention should take the course it did
that is, to declare the loyalty Of the Re.
publicans of Pennsylvania to the States
honored son. There were those who
would have given Mr.. Blaine more
direct endorsement for President, but
the counsel OF those who were moro
thoughtful of the delicate official and
personal relations OF the great statesman
with the President prevailed, and
the convention took the wisost action
possible under the circumstances.
There is no question that the great
bulk of the Republican party, il not Of
all the people, believe that Mr.. Blaine
is the most capable man, to lead the
party to victory next year; that he is
the most thorough representative of the
policy to which the Republican party
stands committed; but due apprecia-
ton Of his peculiar position as a mem
Dor OF President Harrison's Cabinet
should be shown by his admirers at all
times. BY adopting this course they
will exhibit a proper consideration for
President Harrison, whose administers
tion has been distinguished for Its wis
dom, its patriotism and its honesty.
The preference among the people for
Mr.. Blaine does not in any way reflect
on the present administration, OF which
he is a member. It is simply the ire
prossiblo expression Of a affection tor and I'd

The President as "a Public Speaker
President Harrison has established
for himselta reputation for being one
OF the readiest speech makers in the
country. In the campaign OF 1883 he
was called upon to speak almost daily
TO thousands Of his fellow citizens and
to meet every public question. This he
did with an unfinching courage and a
readiness which won for him the APP
plause Of the country. During the past
few days he has shown himself once
more equal to any sort of occasion.
Whatever the enemies of the present
occupant of the White House may say
of him, they cannot say that he has not
shown the ability Of statesman of the
first class and tho versatility and re-
sources of a5great public speaker.
President HARRISON has shown himself
to be ohe'of the greatest OF Americans
in these respects.

their denunciation OF the story that
New York importers are raising fund
of $4,000 to beat Mckinley in Ohio.
c. G. Shyne, of New York, who first
made the statement, has in justice to
himself given the name of his inform
ant, who is S. P. Hyman, Of the import
ing firm of S. Moss & Co., who contrib
uted largely to the fund. Mr.. Hyman
does not deny the story, and there is no

ion dollars is II very great sum, but. is
not great enough to defeat Mckinley.

Oats is unquestionably the best grain to
feed work horses during the hot weather.
Corn is Of too heating a nature.
An occasional bran mash is good thing
to bring a horse to his appetite if he has
dropped off in his feed from hard work.
A dollar or two spent in keeping the
plows we'll sharpened may save twenty
five or fifty dollars worth of horse-flesh.
Keep your horses from becoming fretful
and excited by keeping calm yourself. An
hours worry will do more harm to horse
that has to work hard than a half days
steady labor.
Don't be afraid of wearing out the curry
comb and brush these warm days when the
horses sweat freely. Good health depends
on the condition of the skin as we'll as on
the condition of the stomach.
Ask the boys opinions in regard to mat
ing up teams, breeding, etc, if you want
them to become interested in the horses.
Their judgment may be better than yours,
if you have had more experience than
they.

Household Hints.

To melt chocolate, break it in a few
pieces, then melt it in a small dish set IN
the top of the teakettle; it is not necessary
to CRATE it. Do not put a chocolate mix
ture into a tin mold, as it will become dis
colored from contact with the tin.
When you are so tired that you feel
ready to DROP sit down, comb your
hair and change your shoes. This will rest
the head and feet and give new strength
for the work which at house cleaning or
moving time refuses to be postponed.
In washing pongee do not boil or scald
the goods: it will not stand hard rubbing
if necessary. Let it get quite dry, then
press with as hot an iron as possible, when
the silk will look like new. Silk handker-
chiefs should be quite dry before ironing to
| prevent them turning yellow.
Cheese that has been cut in suitable
pieces for the table and left some time be-
comes hard and dry. Cur way of dispos-
| ing Of it in such a case is to CRATE it and
| put it in a wide -mouthed bottle that can bt
corked. 1t is then ready for use in making
patties, omelettes and other dishes.

Among the Poultry.

Feed systematically and reg ularly every
day both old and young.
Hens frequently have spurs after the
first year, but not always
At the start chickens should be placed
where they grow up and remain.
Young fowls generally have small
combs and of fresher color.
The best flesh with fowls is secured by
liberal feeding from the beginning.
Hens that are we'll fed will lay most of
their eggs in the first and second year
A stolen nest gives a full hatch because
it has all the essential conditions necessary
for incubation.
A first cross of any two breeds makes a
good fowl, but the breeding should not be
carried farther.
Poultry will soon become n nuisance If
allowed the run of the farm buildings, the
yard and the garden.
Twice week is often enough to feed
sunfiower seed. They contain too much
oil to be used regularly.
