News of the Garrison.

The garrison has been unusually quiet
since the holidays. Nothing in the way of
entertainments whatever. except the Friday
evening hop, has occurred since New Years
day.
Lieutenant Colonel Park, who has just re-
turned from a trip abroad, arrived yesterday
with his wife and niece and are now the
guests Of General and Mrs. Wheaton.
General Wheaton is still east. He will
visit his daughter, Mrs. Roweil, at Grove

The third party Is in favor Of taxing incomes,
and OF making the incomes big enough to stand
It. Thus the more the people pay out In taxes
the richer they win become. Fall in for more
more money and bigger tsxes!-EmpOria Re-
publican.
The above is a fair specimen of Re-
publican argument 1t is fully up to
the capacity of the average Republi-
can editor. It is false upon the face
of it, and has nothing in it but a spirit
Of ridicule. 1t is by such insane
methods that disafected Republicans
are expected to be won back to party

A FINE sCHEME OF THE TWINS.

tr0IIed Che policy OF EnlS government
at the behest and in the interest OF
Lombard and Wall street gold bugs,
have Concocted another Of their dia-
bolical schemes to perpetuate the
robbery of the people. The friends
Of free coinage have been encour-
aged tn hope that a law would be
passed by this Congress that would
restore the white metal to the posi-
ton it occupied from the foundation
Of the government up to 1873, when
Johnn Sherman and his Co-Conspira-
tors clandestinely and frsudulently
effected it's demonstration. We were
told by certain reformerS that the
election Of Speaker Crisp was tri-
umph for our cause, inasmuch as il
was said it would put financial ques-
tions, and especially the free coinage
question, foremost for legislative con-
sideration; and yet this very Speaker
Crisp appears now as one Of the con-
spirators with Michael D. Hsrter to
defeat free coinage legislation. How
is il proposed to be done? A short
time ago this man Hsrter sent ont q
secret circular intended for Demo
cratic editors, and which has already
been published in The ADVOCATE, in
which they are urged to demonstrate
with their members Of Congress
against the passage Of free coinage
law. In this circular Mr.. Hsrter
says:
YOd may entirely disagree with the Views OK.
pressed In the pamphlet enclosed. Freedom Of
Judgment In such matters belongs to every citl-
zen. On one thing, and that a pure matter Of
POLICY, we undoubtedly do agree, which Is:
That R Uiu be suicidal for the Democratic
pGrty 10 pass free coinage bill through the
House this season.
You can do much to prevent it through your
editorial utterances, and especially by personal
letters to such Democratic members Of Congress
as you happen to know.
Neither the people nor the Demo
cratic editors are supposed to know
what they want or what they ought
to petition for until word comes down
from the bosses. Then their duty
becomes plain.
But the climax Of impudence and
absurdity is reached in the circular
sent to old soldiers, and as we have
not yet published that circular we
will introduce it at this point, al
though il will take some little space.
It will fully repay perusal, however,
and is necessary to a full understand
ing of the scheme.
HOUSE OF REPRRsENTATIvEs,'U s..
WARRINGTON, ID. o., February 16, 1892.
To Commander Of Post, Grand Army Of The
Republic:
SIR:-A movement is now on foot which win
work more Injury to the veteran soldiers Of the
United States, than all other influences which
can ever be marshaled or brought together.
allude to the proposition to give to S71h
grains Of silver legal tender value Of 100 cents.
10 % called FREE COINAGE. This amount
OF silver bullion Is worth to-day less than 20 cents
and owing to the rapid increase In the prOduc-
tion Of silver, It is not unlikely to fall until the
value Of S7lA grains Of silver win be less than 60
cents.
This simply means, that II free Siluer baI be-

heads" are forwarding their petitions
as the bosses have directed.
Again: Why are 3714 grains of sill
YER bullion worth but 70 cents to-day |?
Was it subject to this discount at any
time since the foundation Of the gov
ernment prior to its demonstration?
Not only Mr.. Harter, but every other
man of ordinary common sense,
knows it was not. It is the universal
testimony of the delegates of all ma
tions to the international monetary
conferences that have been held to
consider the eproposition to remonetize
silver, that it's demonstration is the
sole cause of it's depreciation in the
worlds markets. Mr.. Gibbs, one Of
the British delegates to the confer
ence of 1878, said:
The silver coin withdrawn from circulation BY
Germany has become merchandise and aS, by
virtue of an economic law which nobody contests,
the price Of any product, Of any merchandise Of
whatever kind 1t may be, is governed by the
abundance Of that merchandise, rising and fall
ing according as the commodity exists In larger
or smaller quantity, the price Of silver must have
fallen by the mere fact of German silver being
suddenly transferred from current coin into
merchandise.
In the international conference OF
1881 Mr.. Henri Cernuschi, one Of the
French delegates, submitted the fol-
lowing among other propositions:
Free coinage with unlimited forced circulation,
has the effect of constituting the whole Of the
metal, old or new, coined or uncOined, into
single monetary mass.
The value which gold and silver might have as
merchandise II no legislation adopted them as
monetary masses, is not q constituent element In
the value of money.
Mr.. Dana Horton, one Of the dele
gates of the United States, asks:
Has not monetary law, which has created al
most the entire use made of the precious metals,
likewise created nearly the whole Of their value
Mr.. Pierson, delegate of the Neither
lands, said:
Silver has fallen in value, because all over Eu
rope ltS mlntage has been forbidden.
Mr.. Msllet, delegate from British
India, said:
Some important countries having taken steps
to demonetize silver, the depreciation of this
metal enSued.
Count Rusconi, delegate from Italy,
asks:
Do not the precious metals lose nine-tenths Of
their value II they are deprived Of being con-
verted into money?
But why multiply testimony? Ev-
cry man of sense knows that the de-
monetization Of silver is the cause Of
the depreciation of its bullion value.
1t was demonetlzed for the double
purpose Of rendering it a commodity
in which gold bugs might gamble,
and to increase the purchasing power
of gold and depreciate all other val
ues of property, of labor and all its
products. It is to maintain this dis
paragement, perpetuate the robbery
of the people, and facilitate the con-
centratien of wealth in the hands of
the few, that Mr.. Harter and his CO.
conspirators seek to defeat free coin
age legislation; and in the accomplish
ment of this nefarious purpose he asks
old soldiers who have already been
robbed Of one-half their legal dues

LOSS OF FERTILITY.
It Can BE Avoided by Keeping Organic
Matter on the Surface.

It Can Be Avoided by Keeping Organic
Matter the Surface.
The important secret of maintaining
fertility of soil is simply the maintain
ing of organic (animal and vegetable1
matter on the surface. The benefit
comes in soon or later, in proportion as
the matter is sort tnat readily de-
Gays or not If this matter is of COM
pact nature and lies on in mass, so
that air does not readily circulate
through it, it may sour and become
corrosive to plants near 1t, instead OF
beneficial Where lands are subject to
overflow, and the current is not so
rapid as to cause any waste of the soil
by washing, the water will bring and
leave on or in the soil the essentials for
a full crop, SO that good growth can
be obtained year after year, with no
addition of manure. Insects, too, are
reduced by being drowned out. No
matter that decays naturally should be
wasted by burning. Unless infested
by fungus germs or injurious insects Or
their eggs.-Ed. The coarser perts
can be made to do nutrient service
about perennial bushes and trees, and
the rest can be used around plants of
less height-only very dwarf and deli
cate seedlings requiring that the sur
face be fne Even for them it is best
that the actual surface be fine vegeta-
BILE mold.
1t is not szle to bury much coarse
matter in the soil In clearing wood
land, the farmer is careful to get rid of
all leaves and chips in order to avoid
their being buried in the soil and sour
ing there. The bulky roots of corn when
turned down fresh have that effect, and
render it impraeticable to SOW wheat on
fresh corn stubble with prospect of any
good return. The burning off of leaves
and chips on clearings has instilled
among our people the idea that burn
ing of all surface Hitter is good and
proper practice, whereas it is actually
sinful waste, rapidly fastening ex-
haustion of soil. Grass is the most ef-
fectual means of restoring the natural
vegetable surface, or humus, to hilly
soils, and it has the merit of not being
liable to being washed away as any
loose litter may be. If uplands cannot
yield SO much bulk of grass as the
moister lowlands, it is so much sweeter
and more nutritious in most cases as to
justify keeping them covered with
grassy growth, excepting while being
used for some other crop; never leaving
them lie bare avoidably.-N. Y. Trib-

LONDON, June 2S.-The second congress
of the chambers of commerce of the Brit
fish empire opened this morning.
Among the resolutions introduced was
Que by Mr.. Medley, declaring that fiscal
union between Great Britain and her
colonies by preferential duties based upon
protection would be politically disastrous,
and that the arrangement that would
best conduce to an intimate commercial
union would be for the self governing col
onies to adopt as closely as circumstances
would permit the non-protectiye policy OF
Great Britain.
Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian high COM
missioner to England, opposed the motion;
He said that the American Mckinley bill
showed no favor to Great Britain. There
were risks of the American octopus throw
ing his tentacles over the West Indies and
Spanish Antilles, with the view to driving
cut British trade, and it was going to do
so. The British coDsuls reported that
Great Britain had lost Brazil and that
America was getting hold under her reci-
procity system The Americans, be de-
clared, did English commerce a greater
wrong than did the Mckinley tariff, in
their efforts to drive England out of the
southern hemisphere.
They had attacked Canada also, under
the mistaken idea that by imposing duties
upon products for which they are CaDada's
natural market, they could bring Cana
dian producers to their knees and leave
the Canadians no alternative but to be-
come a part of the United States. Sir
Charles said that in 1890 Canada took one
seventh of the manufactured exports Of
the United States, but that was not
enough to save them in the presence of the
Monroe doctrine Of one government from
the equator to the pole.
The other Canadian delegates supported
a preferential tariff as opposed TO free
trade

The Males for Next Year.

AS the males should be fully matured,
and yet not too old, the proper way to
secure them is to hatch them in the fall
and keep them until they are eighteen
months old, which viii bring them in
during the early months Of spring. Be-
ing hatched in the fall such birds viii
be somewhat smaller in size than those
Matched in the spring, but the chicks
sired by them viii be as large, at the
marketable age. as those from the
larger males Males with small combs
should be preferred. as they are less
liable to the effects of frost, which
sometimes causes the combs and wat
ties to be very sore. and even TO slough
off This point should not be over
looked. as birds with frosted combs are

FcTRIc LIGHT FOR TRAINS.

LANSING Mich. June Sit is an
nounced that Professor j. T. McElroy, for
several years superintendent OF the SVate
School for the Blind in this city, has solved
the problem of lighting train by eiec-
tricity The machine is a cylindrical dy-
namo in itself, which is attached to the
forward axle of the locomotive. No wire
is used in the armature or the part OF the
machine which conducts electricity to the
lighting system. After the parts have be-
come sufficiently charged with the current
the armature of the machine is
this revolves in contact with the
other parts of the dynamo, which
rest upon roller bearings at the end
of the cylinder Tbe entire machine
does not weigh over 300 pounds, and Is
completely incased in an iron Jacket, so
that neither snow, rain nor dust can aHect
it. 1t will run for weeks without any at
tention whatever, and all that it requires
is little oil occasionally. The wires run
under the engine and are connected To
each car bv couplerS similar to the steam
couplers now in use. The lights are lncan-
descent, and each car can be Illuminated
to whatever extent is desired.
A feature of Professor Mchlroy's inven.
tion is the device arranged TO retain light
in cars at a standstill. IL each car a
small, but powerful, storage battery is
placed. While the train is in motion
these batteries become charged. When
the train stops at station the power from
the dynamo ceases, but automatically tue
storage batteries come into play aud hight
the train. A car may be cut off and
thrown in to a side track to await CON
nection, and the lights will be in service
for six hours. The time can be increased
at will by increasing the storage battery
power.
The headlight for the locomotive, and
every light in the train, will be electric
and the tax on the power of the locomo-
tive will be very small. The cost OF the
system is less than the ordinary lights
now in use on railroads. The dynamo is
so arranged that it does not take the power
from the locomotive when it is doing its
heaviest work-that is, when it is starting.
The work begins when the engine is NOV
ing at about thirteen miles an hour. When
the train Is broken up the whole apparat-
us is in a normal condition, and requires
no attention whatever

A TRIPLE lYNCHlNG.

GALVESTON. Tex. June 2S.-A News
special from Spurgis, Texas, gives the de-
tails of the criminal assault at that place
on Thursday night. The assailant5 were
Prince Wood. Tom Smith and Henry
Grimes, three negroes. They had a pre-
liminary examination and made a confes-
sion of the plot by which they
committed the assault The three
went To Sheffield's home at Il o'clock at
night One got in a window and assaulted
one of the lady occupants. Her screaming
gave the alarm and the other ladies ran TO
the door to escape, when the other two
negroes entered. Mrs. Bushley's youngest
daughter was caught and outraged. The
other women in the house escaped.
Upon the confession ten men were depu-
tised TO convey the three negroes TO the
Woodville jail. They started with them
on Friday afternoon. When out about
one mile from Spurgis, they noticed that
they were followed by fifty
masked and armed men, who demanded
the release of the prisoners. The guards
submitted. A few moments later yolley
from the guns of masked men told the fate
of the rapsts, who mad been literally rid
died with bullers. The corpses Were taken
in charge by relatives, and were buried at
the town OF Bluff on Saturday evening.

LEARN TO TAKE 1T EASY.
Too Much Worry and Business Not Goo
for a Man.


for a Man.
SIT does seem strange to me-" said ex-
Congressman West to New York Her
aid reporter the other day, why some
business men cling closely to business
all their lifetime. You laugh? Well,
business is business, of course, and Ben
Franklin knew what he was talking
about when he said something about
saving penny every time you get
chance. But what l mean to say IS that
a business man needn't be everlastingly
drudging away simply because he is
making lots Of money. He should take
a holiday, and at times jolly long one"
Mr.. West stroked his big white beard
and looked up at the ceiling as if trying
to count the roses in the frescoed
wreaths above the chandelier, and then
went on:
"Rich men in business, no matter
whether they began business when they
were poor as church mice or whether
they had piles of money before they got
out of their teens, are becoming
sensible nowadays can count
on my fingers ends dozens of men
who, twenty-five years ago, never
took week off in summer time
even, who were rich as Cresus
years and years before that, and yet
who went to their Offices as early as
they had to do when they were clerk
ing it; and they kept it up till they
toppled into their graves. Why, /
knew some New York business men
twenty-five years ago who had never
taken an ocean bath because they had
never seen the ocean beyond the Bat
terry. | know thing or two about
Saratoga, and, would you believe it,
last summer had as pleasant a day as
ever spent in my life at Ballston with
merchant in this city who had gone out
OF town for week for the first time
during the sixty years sf his active
business life? Yet that man had always
made his clerks go away for a week
every summer, with a weeks salary
paid in advance.
Business men don't feel old nova
days because their hair is gray. They
don't save up for the boys by depriy-
ing themselves of needed recreation.
They take their share of jolhties of life,
too; and By jollities / don't mean jags
And though they don't work as many
hours day as their fathers did they
manage to accomplish much more"
