A Connecticut farmer, writing to
Hoards Dairyman, says; "When think
of the amount of hay my caps have saved
me do not ask myself whether they
have paid or not. Last year ! bought
some unbleached cotton two yards wide
and made sheet wide and long enough
to protect large stack Of hay. 1t more
than paid for itself, and is good for
twenty years to come. It is a very
handy thing to throw over q load in an
emergency. It is a good failing to have
It rather too large than too small. This
sheet was made with eyelet holes in the
sides and ends in which to tie strings
and cords. To these cords weights are
attached to hold the sheets in place"

POLITICAL FORECASTS.
} Ediror OF THR ApYoCATE.

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
To one realizing the deep undercurrent
OF distFust toward both the old political
parties, manlfestlng itself In all parts OF
the United States, It is amusing to note
the calculations made by would be
prophets as to the probable results OF the
next presidential election. There Will
be an increase Of forty three votes In the
electoral college this year over the num-
Der Of votes In 1883. Then there were
4Ol votes, now there are 444, Of which
223 will be necessary to choice. The
people elect the members Of the electoral
college, while the electoral college In
turn elects the president and vice presi-
dent. The number of votes In the col
lege is decided by the number OF con-
gressional districts, of which there are
356, each of which has one elector, to-
gether with two electors from each state,
or SO, the 356 and S9 making the 444
votes. Each state decides how lts elect
Ors shall be elected, and until Michigan
recently passed law that each congress
slonal dis 'rict should elect its own
elector, the custom has been to elect by
states. The rights Of the states under
the constitution, and the wisdom OF
changing the custom, l will leave for a
later time. My object now ID to show
how the politicians are wasting their
energies 10 forscasting to suit them
selves the results OF the election this fall.
Dividing the states by the results OF the
elections In 1890 and 1891, the division
Is made as follows:

michigan elects by congressional Districts
hence the division.
With this basis Ct political history the
forecast Is made-Massachusetts New
York, Connecticut, Indiana and Iowa are
classed as doubtful states, and various
combinations made, which will until
election, interest many. How few OF
these same political schemers realize the
disappointment that awaits them when
the verdict of the people is rem
dered in November. II the Peo-
pies party would unite on the
one burning issue Of the day-the fnan-
clal question-nnderlylng as It does all
other questions, and make the issue on
this alone, they would be surprised at
the response at the polls. A campaign on
this one Issue would carry the country.

Reports Of Homes Destroyed and Acres OF
Good Land Ruined.
BRUNSWICK, No., May 9-For several days
the waters Of the Grand and Missouri rivers
have been rising so rapidly il was feared the bar
south Of this place, which has lately become
valuable farming land. would be flooded. The
fears have now been realized, the crisis coming
yesterday, and all day was spent in rescuing the
inhabitants and their stock.
Last evening at 2 o'clock the ferry boat was
broken from its cable by drift while loaded with
people and horses and went floating down the
river. 1t has not been heard from. One
woman fell in the river while jumping from
the ferry boat into a skiff. She was saved
from drowning by Capt. Strutman, who
had to go to the rescue Of the frightened pas
sengers. Dozens Of homes are DESTROYED and
hundreds Of acres of good land covered BY the
Hoods. There is danger Of the Missouri cur
rent changing to its old channel, which will en-
tirely destroy the bar which was formed about
twenty years ago by the channel changing.
ARKANSAS CITY, ARR, May 9.-The river has
been stationary since o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The levees in front Of the city are in a
somewhat critical condition. 1t is thought
however, that with constant attention they will
be made to hold. Reports from points above
and below here show levees for the most part to
be in good condition and most diligent watch
is being kept that no breaks occur.

The District appropriation bin seems 10 have
gone to sleep for indefinite period in the con-
ference committee. No meeting OF the
oonferees has been held a. yet and tho
first step toward agreement on any of
the Senate amendments is yet 10 be made Not
only has nothing been done, but there IL little
present prospect Of an advance on the obsts-
oles. The House conferees have their hands
fun just at presen; attending 20 the
appropriation bills which have noe
yet passed the House and have little time 10 de-
vote TO perfec;ing any bills which have passed.
IL a. probable That conference will not be held
on the District ball until the sundry civil which
VII be the next appropriation bill considered,
has been disposed Of.

STATE CONVENTIONS.

De1egates-at-Large Instructed for Mr.. Har-

CARSON, NV, May 9.-The republican state
convention condemned the administration of
President Harrison and the delegation to Min
neapolis is pledged to fight for free coinage.
The delegation 10 instructed for no one, but il
is generally supposed that its members will
make O strong fight to induce the western states
to unite on Alger. They have no second choice
except to do the best possible for western inter-
ests and fight Harrison until the last.
NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS.
LINCOLN, NEB., May 9.-The republican state
convention instructed the four delegates-at-
large from Nebraska to support Harrison for
denomination, and two Of the Ave district con-
ventiOns did the same. Nebraska is overwhelm-
ingly Blaine state, and aside from instructions
the delegates to the Minneapolis convention are.
with the possible exception Of one or two, in
favor Of Blaine II he would consent to run.
SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., May 9.-Delegates to the
democratic state convention, which assembled
here this afternoon, are arriving in large num-
bers. The lines are closely drawn in the demo-
cratic party in this state. The opponents of Gov
ernOr Tillman, the alliance candidate, have al
ready put out a state ticket. There seems to be

INDIANA REPUBLICANS.
Fort WAYNE, IND, May 9.-The date for
holding the Indiana state republican conven-
ton has been changed. 1t will be held in this
city June %, instead Of June 20. Fort Wayne
will probably build wigwam to accommodate
the meeting. The change was made to accom-
modate the farmers in the southern part of the
state, as at the time of the first named date
they would have been in the midst of harvest.
WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS.
OLYMPIA, WASH. May 9-There are no dele
gates-at-large from this state. The delegation
Is not instructed. Two Of the eight are posi-
bly, for Harrison, but all are for Blaine if he
will accept. Five are openly for Lincoln and
one for Alger.
ARKANSAS REPUBLICANS.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, May 9.-The republicans
of Arkansas are practically unanimous in favor
of President Harrison's denomination. The
state convention and every district convention
except the SIXTH which will not meet until
Tuesday, have passed ringing resolutions in
dorsing the administration and instructing the
delegates to vote for Harrison's denomination.
