THE DEMOCRAT
10 DOCTRINE.

It is not at all unlikely that large
Democratic gains will be reported
from the great Northwest this Fall
when the elections are over. Hereto
fore it has been the custom of the
Democratic party to let that section
Lake care OF itself, with the result
that it was veritable Republican
stronghold and could be safely counted
on by that party to return majority
for it's ticket ut every election. But
the landslide that occurred in that
region last Fall opened the eyes of
the Democrats to the possibilities
there, with the result that it was de-
termined to do some missionary work
in that quarter. The Mckinley bill
had proven a workable Jonah to the
Republicans there as we'll as in the
other sections Of the Union, ard the
Democratic leaders propose to take
advantage OF this state of feeling and
see what can he done towards captu'r-
ing part OF that territory from the Re-
publicans. It is generally conceded
that the passage of the present tariff
law has made the North west fighting
ground, and that the chances for
Democratic success in that quarter
are most tiatterirg. Acting on this,
a stumping tour has been organized,
which will cover the entire region.
Among the speakers are some of the
hblest orators in the Democratic
party, men of National repute, who
are thoroughly familiar with the pro-
visions Of the Ubiquitous tariff law,
and who can expose it in all it's Tea
lures. The people of these States
which they will visit have shown that
they are awakening to the fact that
the measures advocated by the Re-
publican party are for the benefit of
tao Eastern manufacturer Mt the ex-
pense OF The agriculturist of the Yves.
They are becoming FESTIVE under the
ciass legislation which has bJcome a
distinguishing feature of the Repub~
lican party for years, and show
symptoms Of n readiness to throw off
the party yoke. The seed GOWN in the
present tour will fall on ground ready
for its reception, and having once
taken root, the harvest will doubtless
be such majority for the Democratic
party as will completely paralyze the
party which is now being run solely
in the interest Of favored class

Lawn Tennis md EngIishwomen,

Lawn tennis continues to decline in
popularity among Englishwomcn.
The fact is that the game, among cx-
perts, is now played at so furious II
rate that it is more like hard work than
play. When it was introduced ut first
it was carried on in very lcisurcly
Fashion, without serious disarrangcmcnt
OF costume or ovcrhcating of the per-
son, both serious evils to the feminine
performer of the less enthusiastic
kind The game, moreover, has be-
comc SO scientific that the casual play
or has no chance of distinction, and ns
no young woman is over willing to be
seen at disadvantage, it naturally fol-
lows That the experts have tic field al
most entirely to themselves, ard that
the crop o. rising players Of the softer
SCH Is growing "hialIer every year.

An official order of the British board
of agriculture has been issued relating
to the Atlantic cattle trade, to go into
operation next January. Cattle are not
to be carried on more than three decks,
nor on any hatch above a compartment
containing other cattle nor in any posi-
ton interfering with the navigation and
ventilation of the vessel or the working
of the boats. Every part used for cattle
must be provided with substantial pens,
strong enough to resist the weight of the
cattle or the action of the weather The
pens must be weatherproof and pro-
vided with battens secured to the deck
to prevent cattle from slipping.
Not more than four large or five small
animals are to be placed in each pen.
There must be passageway of the mini
mum width of eighteen inches between
every two rows of cattle and in front of
every single row. Pens must be ade-
quately ventilated and lighted, and
sufficiently roomy for repose and feed
ing. Food and water must be protected
from the weather. There must be one
competent foreman, with one assistant,
to every twenty-five head of cattle Any
animal seriously injured must be slaugh-
tered forthwith
Any contravention of the order will
make the owner, charterer and master
of the vessel guilty of an ofense against
the contagious diseases (animals) act of

family. 1t is notable that this butter
sire resembles closely Jersey bull in
many of his points Much interest at
taches to the effort to breed butter Hol-
stems in America. If this result can be
brought about, then the Holstein- Erie

to the Jersey, on account of its superior
size and beef possibilities. 1t seems pos
