FARMERS, ATTENTION
4 SPLENDID PAPER VERY CHEAP.
The American Farmer from Now
until End of 1892 for Is Cents.

The American Farmer is the oldest agri-
cultural paper in America, having been
published in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands of a
new management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. It now superb journal
of 30 large pages, with a handsome cover,
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
LIST and 10 h Of each month, and gives a
larger amount Of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
In the country. All the leading agricultural
writers contribute to it, and great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information on all
farming matters.
The American Farmer is thoroughly nom
partisan in politics, but is strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes into I'M urious competition with those
of foreign countries. 1t is particularly
earnest III its support Of the tariff on wool
and the development of the sheep-rasing
industry of this country until our own
farmers will supply every pound of wool
and mutton that cur people require. 1t
devotes considerable space every issue to
information in regard TO sheep-raising and
the discussion of matters of interest to flock
owners. Besides this it has departments
devoted 10 Dairying, Poultry, Bookkeeping,
Horses, Swine, Grain7growing Stock and all
branches OF farming.
One of its peculiarly valuable features is
that it publishes in every issue the latest
issued maps of the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall ali over the
country for the previous two weeks. This
information is of the utmost importance to
every farmer in judging the probable course
Of the market. 1t is precisely the informa-
lion that the grain spectators have been
securing at great expense, IN order to shape
their operations. By means Of these maps
the readers of The american Farmer are
given Just as reliable information as to the
condition of the crops everywhere as the
spectators and operators have. and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
judge the course of the market.
liz order 10 give all the farmers of the
country an opportunity 10 become thor
oughly acquainted with the many merits of
The American Farmer, the management has
decided to make the extraordinary offer to
send the journal for the remainder Of 1892
TO anyone sending them % cents. This is a
great opportunity to get vast amount Of
unusually good reading matter for an in
significant sum.

THE USE SHE MAKES OF 1T.

A Kentucky comrade sends us the follow
with considerable Indignation in regard to
it:
Woman IL intensely loyal being. and when
once espoused TO a cause nothing shake the
fidelity with which she clngs to her choice.
little incident told the other day which
strikngly illustrates this fact, well as the won
derful beauties Of the Governmental pension system.
There Is a charming widow in the city who In her
early youth married man that differed with her
in politics. and when the great cliasm yawned be-
tween the North and the South he enlisted under
the Stars and Stripes. His wife. however still re-
NAMED true the cause of her friends and neigh
bors. yet in spite Of their political differences, the
pair lived in perfect domestic happiness.
When her husband died. his widow though
woman of considerable means, filed an application
for pension. and in due course Of time her claim
was allowed. Now. regularly as the pension
arrives. she hands il over each month 10 tho Wo-
mems Confederate Monument Association. In this
way she soothcs her conscience for taking from the
Government money Of which she does not stand In
need. and also aids the cause she loves. The In
cident IL from which the enthusiastic advocates
Of wholesale pension appropriation will derive
little consolation. and 1t will, on the other hand
tunity to chew the sweet cud of revenge that must
be exceedingly pleasant.
The use this woman makes of her pension
money is, of course, decidedly wrong, but
we do not see as there is any help for it.
Any general law must be very general in its
nature, and 1t cannot provide for individual
contingencies. The woman's husband earned
the pension for his widow, and it will have
TO be given her. She was entitled to his
pension because of her being his wife, and
the use she makes of the money ia entirely
beyond the control of the United States.
Under the terms of the law it is her money,
and she can do with it as she pleases, re-
gardless Of the sentiment and feelings of the
general public.

SONS OF VETERANS AT THE NATIONAL
ENCAMPMENT.

Very important duties are to be assigned
to the Sons of Veterans at the GAR Ma
tional Encampment, and it is hoped and
expected that they win be present in large
force, uniformed, armed and equipped. The
Sons of Veterans have been put under the
charge of the Committee on Reunions, Of
which John McElroy, Of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE, is Chairman. Maj. E. X. Camp
bell, leader among the Sons of Veterans Of
the District of Columbia, and commander
OF a battalion in the District of Columbia
National Guard, has been put in charge Of
the Sons OF Veterans Tents will be erected
for the Commander-in-Ch Chief and such other
high officers of the Order as may be present,
on beautiful sward on the south front of
the magnificent building of the State, War
and Navy Department, and adjoining the
White House grounds.
The greater part of the interest of the
National Encampment viii center in the
Reunions held on the White Lot, and there
will be gathered On those grounds almost
constantly fully 100000 veterans and their
families.
The management of this immense throng
will be great work, and it is expected that
the Sons of Veterans will do large part of
it. They will act as guards, escorts and
Orderlies. Distinguished officers will have
TO be escorted to the grounds in military
style, guard lines established at times to
separate the crowds for Reunion purposes,
and Orderlies on duty at the various head
quarters to give information, and conduct
veterans whittier they may be sent. All
this viii be very appropriate duty for the
Sons of Veterans, and one which they will
be glad to perform, as it will be strictly
military in its character, and will keep them
in the very center of the activity at the Ma
tional Encampment, when they will see
everybody present and be present in all the
| proceedings of interest At least 900 uni
formed Sons of Veterans are needed for
special orderly duty at the various corps
| headquarters to assist in conducting the
| veterans to their brigade and other head
quarters, and in performing other duties
appropriate to Headquarter Orderlies. All
these should be in full Sons of Veterans
uniform. Brethren who desire assignment
to this or other duty under the Reunion
Committee, should report at once by lette,

never makes bit of trouble.
Dick Slightly sarcastic)-Ob, the little angel
didn't do a thing except to pull enough hair
out Of my head and the cat to stuff circus
tent, smash my watch, yell for 10 minutes
without taking breath, hang himself through
the rungs Of the rocker, stab few dozen holes
in the sofa and the window with poker, swal-
low my seal ring, stuff the sofa cushion into
the coal bod on top of the cat, stamp the whole
business down with the poker and set fire to it,
knock down the clock, throw the eat through
the window, rip up half breadth of carpet,
and spill the contents of his bottle into the

THE ASSAULT on MIR. FR1cK.


Despite the outrages committed by the
workingmen during the strike at Homestead,
the murderous attack1on Chairman Frick
cannot be laid at their door. 1t was the
work of a sensation-loving scoundrel Of the
Guiteau type-an indolent, vicious, worth
less creature-consumed with vanity and an
inordinate idea of his own importance, and
willing, even, to eifhe could thereby attract
general attention TO his insignificant person
atty. Such men are much more abundant
in Europe than in this country, because the
freer, healthier, sounder public spirit here
is decidedly unfavorable to their develop
ment. In Europe, where the people suffer
grievously from the inequalities of social
conditions and the injustices of privileged
classes, such men find an opportunity to pose
as in some sense avengers of public wrongs
and martyrs in the cause of the people.
This is impossible in country like ours,
where justice is the general rule, and
vicious loafer who turns murderer can have
no public sentiment to glorify his villainy.
Bergman is a rascal of unmitigated char
acter and the type of class like Guiteau,
which should be destroyed like poisonous
snakes or vicious dogs the moment their
depraved, dangerous character becomes evil
dent We say SHOULD be (" advisedly, know
ing full well that mawkish public sentiment
prohibits such summary disposition of these
pests to society. All the same, we reiterate
they should be. Every day of their evil lives
is an injury to someone. Before their capi-
tai crimes bring them prominently before
the public they have had long career of
petty swindling, of defrauding those who
trust them, of thieving, of maltreating I'M
fortunate women-their sisters mothers,
wives, and mistresses- other offenses.
OF course Mr.. Tricks life is of no more
value than that of any other man who has
been shot during the troubles at Homestead.
The nature of the assault upon him calls
for this extended comment. He was shot
simply because recent events directed public
attention to the fact that he was a very rich
man and large employer of labor, and he
was shot by a scoundrel who had no other
motive than to gain notoriety by an attack
on a man in Mr.. Tricks position.

LEARNS NOTHING BY DEFEAT.

Mr.. Cleveland is one whom defeat and re-
buke can teach nothing He continues to
talk as wildly and demagogically about the
tariff as ever. That portion of his remarks
upon accepting the Presidential nomination
touching upon the tariff was as VIGOROUSLY
false and misleading as the utterances made
while in the Presidential chair, which caused
so much anguish to the wiser portion of his
adherents. For example:
Scenes are enacted In the very abiding place Of
high protection (Homestead) that mock the hopes
of toll and demonstrate the fasity that protection
Is boon to toiers.

posed to have go into effect July was as
