Mr. c. p. Thornhil. candidate for District A. :
torney, writes us word that he hears that II is
being currently reported throughout the district
that he is . third party man. He says be is .
Democrat first. last and all the time. While be-
recognizes the right Of the farmers to relief By
legislation. a d contends that it shall be in the
nature Of definite and radical reform. still II
can be accomplished and must only be attempt
ed within the Democratic party, which IL nov
and has always been the true peoples party.
The Colfax chronicle., 1892-01-09

Two weeks ago we warned our farmer
friends about the cloven foot that their
paragon editor OF the Ocsla Demand was
beginning To show. Last week he threw
OF his mask IN these words:
We ask the agricuIturists of this State
to abide patiently their time, and to as
stat the Democratic party in its approach
ing battle for that power which alone can
give relief. There is no room IN the po-
litical campaign approaching tor third
party, and the establishment Of third
party in the South can ouly disrupt the
Democratic party aud aid in the perpetu.
alton OF Republican rule.
After showing thus plainly how he has
betrayed the trust placed in him by the
farmers, and not content with selling out
body, soul and breecbcs to the lottery, he
adds Insult to injury by the following in
famous proposition:
Now, while shall ever contend that
an independent movement upon the part
OF the agricultural and laboring classes
in the only salvation for the people and
will never agree 10 give up the Peoples
party ship as long as there is hope OF re-
gaining our forces cHptured by the com-
bners, I verify believe, that il we are forced
to join the one or the other OF these two
parties, we had better enlist under the
banner Of the regular (.lcEnery -LOttery)
Democratic party.
In laborious. numbering article five
columns in length, and extending in two
issues OF the paper, the sum total OF Edi-
tor rraylor's reasons and conclusions are
contained in these short paragraphs:
| Again, every well informed man. who
! has kept MP With the affairs Of the State
! of L0uisiana is aware of the fact, that
! the administration OF Ex-Gov. McEuery
has been far superior to the present ad-
ministratio and would evidently be far
moro desirable than the administration
uf Murphy j. Foster, who has never made
any very prominent record other than an
/, Anti-Lottery router. -
For snmbllme gall this takes the pre-.
MUM, and whether the result Of igno.
rance or rascallty, is amusing in the ex-
treme. Four years ago, when McEnery't
administration ceased, there was deficit
in the State treasury Of nearly $l5Q,OOO
State warrants went begging ut ruin
Gus discount, aud the levees were q dis
4 grace to The so-called ''levee governor,
while the negroes we're shamefully ant
needlessly buIldozed, and could hope To-
no le al redress. Now, under "old fogy'
Nichols, there is 100000 IN the Stat
treasury, the current obligations are pait
on presentation. the leyess are in bette
condition than since the war, peace ant
prosperity prevails, and the protection Q
the law is extended to all alike.
Foster. the NAN from st. Mary, has
record for integrity that can not be i'm
peached: For more than thirty year
we have known him personally, and fror
boyhood to mans estate he has enjoye
the full confluence Of his people.

KINDNESS 10 HORSES.
1t Is Safer and Cheaper in the Long Ru
Than Neglect.

1t Is Safer and Cheaper in the Long Run
Than Neglect.
Hard times for stock eventuate in
small returns for man. Kind care of
any animal is safest and cheapest in the
long run. Every piece of cruelty reacts.
Therefore is it so difficult to control stock
roughly handled. \ good horse leased
becomes so vicious that he is dangerous.
Writing Of care of cattle. one says: Il
always instruct and watch a new man;
if he is kind and willing to learn help
him; if his blood is too thick and his
brains too muddy, | have no use for
him" He who cannot control his own
temper how shall he control the beasts?
Says an Arab proverb: If you would
have your horse to serve you on the day
of trial, if you desire him to be a horse
of truth, make him sober and inaccesi-
bic to fear" | remember such horse.
He would endure anything rather
than move or kick where there were
little children, and once, on very
steep hill, with the whole weight of a
carriage let down on him by accident,
he stood like a rock in the road till help
was summoned and he could be extri-
Gated. If you want such a friend in a
horse you must think of him as some
thing more than horsehesh, moneys
worth. Let your colt be domesticated
and live with you from his tenderest
age" says the Arab again, ''and when
a horse he will be simple, docile, faith
full and Injured to hardship and fatigue"
Such a one, large and strong at two
years, never knew when he was
broken, thinking it only fun to haul
a cart in which his boy playmates were
riding. The measure of man" is the
measure of good times for all creatures.

There was very red-eyed, shame

and Aunt Hester was kind as could be.
So was mamma.
I'D most rather she'd scold me"

Aunt Hester standing by.

Because Of ''scares' about the use o.

else amount adhering to fruits, and Sc
lected two lots Of grapes Of ten pound.
each, one from vines sprayed with the
Bordeaux mixture throughout the sea
son and which was very badly dis
figured, and the other from vines that
were treated with the bordeaux mix
ture up to the middle of June, then
with two applications Of the am
moniacal carbonate Of copper, and
which were not in the least dlsfigured.
An analysis Of the two samples was
made at the state experiment station.
In the first there was found only
2-1,000ths Of per cent. of oxide of cop
per, an amount so small that one
would need to eat from half a ton to a
ton Of these grapes, stems, skins and
all, to obtain the least injurious effect;
and that, Notwithstanding the fact that
the punches were selected from those
having the largest amount Of the cop
per mixture adhering to them.
In the second sample not trace of
copper could be found. 1t would seem
from the above that even under the
most careless use of the copper sOlu-
tions no injurious effects need be
feared, and that when properly applied
there win not be trace of copper left
upon the fruit at harvesting.
To determine the amount of copper
and arsenic adhering to the surface of
apples, which had been sprayed three
times with the Bordeaux mixture and
paris green, 90 apples, measuring one
peck, We're taken to the state expert
ment station for analysis. The amount
of copper oxide found on these apples
was about 5-10, 00Oths of an ounce to
a barrel The specimens selected for
this analysis were those with the rough
est surface, TO which would adhere more
of the copper solution of paris green
than to average apples. Not trace of
arsenic could be detected in this analy-
sis The paris green leverage samples
of paris green contain about SO parts Of
oxide of copper and 81 parts of arseni-
Gus oxide was not used after July /,
but it was probably all washed off dur.

Mrs. Ida A. Harper and Her Work on
the indianapolis Dailies.

int indianapolis iJallleS.
The career Of Mrs. Ida A. Harper. who
was the guest of the press league at the
Auditorium hotel. in Chicago. recently.
and is the leading editorial and
editorial paragraph writer of the
indianapolis News, has been in several
respects unusual. The common incen-
tive to laborious endeavors is for the
most part at least in the beginning
necessity, although sometimes long con-
tinued habit makes effort easier than
idleness, 1t was fondness for writing
and no other reason which induced
Mrs. Harper first to devote herself
to writing Later it was this same lill-
ing which induced her to take up regu-
lar newspaper woril. For eleven years
Mrs. Harper conducted a department
called "A Woman,s Opinions" in the
Terre Haute Mail At this time the
Mail was the most prominent Saturday
evening paper in Indiana, and these ar
ticles were widely copied. Mrs. Harper
is capable of doing an immense amount
OF regular work. At one time she
travelled and wrote weekly letters
of correspondence for eleven differ
ent papers, sending to each letter
expressly prepared and quite unlike
either Of the others. For nine wears She
has conducted the womens department
in the Locomotive Firemen's Magazine.
which is one of the most widely circu-
lated of any of the labor publications.
In speaking of il She says that she con-
siders this her most important work. on
account of the class of women She is
able to reach through its columns. A
few years ago Mrs. Harper was offered
the associate editorShip Of the Terre
Haute Daily News She accepted the
position and in a few months She was
made managing editor, which. by the
way, is a most unusual position for
woman e occupy on . political daily.
During tie time that She occupied this
position there occurred one of the most
exciting municipal campaigns in the
history Of the city. Taking the best
men from the two tickets She made up
an independent ticket, and every man
She Thus nominated was elected She
continued I'D This position until She ae
