A MODEL DAIRY FARM.

The readers of the Waterman no
doubt would be interested in descrip-
ton Of one of the most complete dairy
barns we have ever seen. While 1t IS
built to shelter and feed 40 COWS, yet
on q smaller scale could be used with
equal advantage. The barn has just
been built by @. M Peterson, Presl-
dent Of our County Alliance, on his
home ranch near Ferndale. The hay
barn is 81 feet in length, "a in width
and "a high on the sides with center
hip elevation 10 feet high and wide
for working a derrick hay fork. The
hip elevation is supported by posts
from the sills and from their top the
track for the hay fork is hung on level
bearings. The ventilators in the top
can be open or shut by ropes reaching
to the floor. BeWeen this and the cat
tie barn on each side of IA foot drive
way are storage rooms for roots. To
their rear are stalls 10x14, on one side
for the male, the other for sick COWS.
The cow barn is 70 feet long by 42
wide. It has a driveway through ziB
length IA feet wide and passes between
the storage rooms and across the hay
barn, giving straight driveway of 104
feet through the barn. This driveway
on the north from the hay barn opens
into field; on the south, from the cat

ANARCHISTS.

There are three classes of anarchists.
The first and best understood of these
consists of those who would do away
with human law through Tevolu-
ton and violence. The second and
more logical are those who believe that
men can be elevated to that point
where there is no necessity for human
government or man made laws. The
third are those who worship, as greater
than divine, established human insti-
tutions and customs, and use them to
override the natural or divine law Of
equal rights Protectionists belong to
this class, and we Unhesitatingly pro
nounce them the most dangerous class
of anarchists !; for as divine or natural
law is above and before human law,
and as upon this law all human rights
are based, to oppose it is nanitestly
more wrong than 20 oppose human
law which may or may not be IN con-
formity with justice. BetWten the
second class and socialists there is but
one essential difference, and that IS as
to expediency or method. the phlIo-
sonlaic anarchist believes that as human
law is now used to subvert human
rights that individuals may enjoy
speciaI privileges, the better way is to
reneal all law and start over, while the
socialist believes that through nation
alization of common property and COM
mon agencies, and their use by the
people at labor cost purely economic
government can be established under
which the equal rights Of all individuals
will be subserved, and natural law be-
come supreme. - Omaha Iocsla.

A CHANGE DEMANDED.
Agriculture About Ruined.
Remedies Suggested.
TARBORo, N. @.

TARBoRo, N. @.
Mr.. EDITOR Recent advices from
London indicate that the English agri-
culturists are determined to secure a
change in England's financial policy.
From the reports it is quite apparent
that the farmers "across the pond !"
are in a similar condition to the Amer
lean farmers. The maintenance of the
goli standard has wrought injury, yea,
ruin to agricultural interests of that
country, and the farmers have come
to a realization of the iniquity. A con
ference, composed of representatives
of the agricultural interests has been
held and the impoverished condition
of the rural portions of the country
discussed.
A resolution, advocating bi metalism,
was enthusiastically and unanimously
endorsed. The Right Hon. Henry
Chaplain, M. P, is an earnest advo
cate of bi-metallic policy, and the
dispatches indicate that the bimetaI-
lists will be a potent factor in Parlia-
ment
1t seems that there is not a har
monious sentiment even in England
that the use of the gold standard is
wise and just, for the farming popula-
tiOn, over there, like the American
farmers, are cup in arms" against the
sale and use of gold as full legal ten
der for the payment of all debts, public
and private. While the English dele
gates to the Brussels International
Monetary Conference are endeavoring
to prevent the adoption of bi metallic
basis, the farmers of England are
clamoring for the freer use of silver.
This fact has deep significance. It is
an object lesson to those people In this
country who maintain that free coin
age of silver would bring ruin and dis
aster upon the country. 1t seems that
the "bone and sinew" of England are
awake to their needs-that financial
reform is the only remedy for their
distressed and oppressed condition.
It is generally those who are suffer
ing who seek relief Those in easy
circumstances, as a rule, know nothing
of the hardships of those not favored
by fortunes smiles, and of course it is
unnatural that they should want a
change. There are two marked classes
in America and England to-day-Uhe
very rich and the very poor. Neither
knows of the true condition of the
other. With special laws one class is
permitted to hoard an immense for
tune, while the other class is constant
Iy being impoverished. It is healthy
sign that the masses throughout these
countries are alive to their needs. 1t
betokens better times for them, and it
behooves them to stand uns Eervingly
for their greatly neglected interests.
The farming class (being the largest
class deserve greater recognition at
the hands of the lawmakers. Every
government should seek to bestow the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber."
In the line of reform the adoption of
a truly bi-metalic basis has been deep
ly agitating the mind of a great por-
tion of the American people, and
though possible there are some who
scoff at the stem to the free and I'm
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
that prevailed for eighty years, yet
like Banquo's ghost 1T will not down. P"

IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Water is Used Ingeniously as Protec-
tion Against Theft.


tion Against Theft.
An English journal says that the
doors Of the Bank OF England are now
so finely balanced that the clerk, by
pressing a knob under his desk can
close the outer doors instantly, and
they cannot be opened again except by
special process. This is done to pre-
vent the daring and ingenius unem-
ployed of the great metropolis from
rObbing the famous institution.
The bullion department of this and
other great English banking establish
ments are nightly submerged in several
feet of water by the action of the ma
chinery. In some Of the London banks
the bullion departments are connected
with the managers sleeping rooms, and
an entrance cannot be effected without
setting off an alarm near the persons
head.
If a dishonest official during the day
or night should take even as much as
one from a pile of ], 900 sovereigns the
whole pile would instantly sink and q
pool of water take it's place, besides let
ting every person in the establishment
know of the theft,

Not u Mistake.

The failure to appropriate money
enough to make anything like a
satisfactory enforcement Of the
Chinese exclusion act was not a
mistake on the part of the Demo
Gratis at the last session of Congress.
.he House refused to agree with
the Senate in making larger ap-
preparation, although Mr.. Allison
and others declared at the time that
unless that were done the law would
be q dead letter. The appropi ia.
tion was actually reduced notwith-
standing the great need for an in
crease.
Bnt if the law is never enforced
it will he Just as we'll. There is no
justice in making dist rimination
against ;he Chinese in this way,
when there are other immigrants
who come to this country under
precisely similar circumstances, and
with no intention of remaining.
The law should be changed aud
made to apply to all alike who
come here for temporary gain, or
else it should be repealed altogether.
The immigration law need to be
revised, though it is evident that
there is foi some reason q good deal
OF laxity in the enforcement of the
existing laws Assistant Commis.
sioner Wilson, Of the Internal Rcve-
nue. Bureau of the Treasury Depart.
ment, complains in published in.
terview that he recently saw 1000
vicious looking Sicilians landed at
New Orleans without any attempt
at inspection. "The State just col.
lected the head money" says this
Treasury Official, land turned them
loose"
As the Treasury Department and
not the State of Louisiana has the
supervision Of immigration, it is
evident :his official is in need Of in.
formation ON the subject. If any
such looseness exists at New Orleans
Secretary Foster would do we'll to
explain the reason for it.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN Perhaps a
few items from this place, might not
come amiss to tue readers of your
valuable paper. The Steelton High
spire and Middletown electric rail-
way is completed and the cars are
running. The Steelton Water
Company have a large force laying
pipes and building a reservoir and
water house. They expect to. have
it completed by the first of April. 1.
The Steam heat & Electric Light
Company have their plant nearly
finished, and then we may expect
cheaper and better light. The ont
put a. the Pennsylvania Co.'S.
works was large last week with
orders ahead. The May Luther )
Bent school building is finished, and
was first occupied on the 2lst inst.
1t is the finest school building in
the borough and will compare iavor-
ably with any in the State. All
the modern improvements in heat
aud ventilating the building. are
nsed in this building. The Demo.
Gratis tried to celebrate their victor,
on last Friday night but it was a
failure. The parade consisted of IA
marshals and aids, a band and Is men.
1t was the sickliest looking thing OF
the kind, ever seen in Stee.ton.
This is not good town for Demo-
Gratis, as it gave larger Republican
majority than Sullivan county did
Democratic. The weekly report #
our public schools show that there
are 1860 scholars on the rolls and
33 schools. The first session of the

The Democratic attack all along
She line of the pension system should
be contrasted with the fact that
Grover Cleveland approved the act
passed by the Democratic House
giving service pensions to ever,
man who enlisted for the Mexican
War, no matter if he was never
within a thousand miles of a battle
field, and regardless of whether b.
was a millionaire or pauper. At
the last session OF Congress another
service pension bill was passed by
the House, where it originated,
giving pensions to all survivors OF
certain Indian wars. Ninety.five
per cent. Of the men who draw
service pensions under these two
laws are ex-Confederates. No
Democratic paper has the honesty
TO say a word about these acts. The
pension system was carried much
further for the benefit of those ex-
Coufederates than ii has been done

THE new CONGRESS
AND THE TARIFF.
Southern Members Speak Strongly
for an EARLY Extra Sessiln.
THEY ALL WANT THE McKIN-
LEY BILL PROMPTLY
REPEALED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The
Herald has sent to the members
elect Of the House of Representa-
tives of the Fifty third Congress the
following questions:
"Are you in favor Of an extra ses-
sion and if so why? If not why ?"
"Do you believe in horizontal
reduction of the tariff or simply a
modification, a modification that
would insure O tariff for revenue
only
One hundred and eighty eight OF
the 356 Congressman have replied
as follows: In favor of extra ses-
sion, ~; opposed to extra session,
78; non-committal, 50; favor re-
peal of Mckinley bill, rs; favor
modification of bill, "A: opposed to
any change in bill, 81; non com
initial, -.
Answers come from Con gressmen
in every State but two.
The poll is very close on the sub.
iect of an extra session of Congress
Y members favor 1t, IS oppose it,
and 38 are non. .committal.
The Southern States speak strong
ly for an early extra session and the
prompt repeal of the Mckinley law.
The vote in the other States is very
much mixed on the question of an
extra session, but is more clearly
defined on the point of the repeal of
the Mckinley bill, majority of the
Congressman i'll nearly every State
favoring riddance of the bill.
Pennsylvania's members stand
strongly by the bill and are equally
a. hostile to a special session.
WHAT REPUBLICANS SAY.
The letters from Republican Rep.
resentatives plainly show their
anxiety as to what the Democrats
will do about the tariff. The close
contest ON the question of the extra
session is due to the fact that many
Republicans express desire for an
extra session that the Democrats
may put their plans into operation
At once and avoid delay that might
produce disorder in business circles.
Many Democrats, including Con.
gressmen Fitch and Bartlett, of
New Yerk city, believe in leaving
it to Mr.. Cleveland to call an extra
session if he deems it advisable, ard
are willing to abide by his opinion.
Many Republicans wrote that
they were in favor Of notifications
in the Mckinley bill, but were care
ful to say not to the extent of tariff
for revenue only.
