Berkshire Best for Bacon.

In a recent article the veteran and
venerable A. B. Allen, who has been for
fifty years an agricultural writer, says
that in regard to the best breed OF swine
which is possessed in America to pro
duce choice bacon and hams the
Berkshire is superior as he turns out
the largest percentage of tender lean,
juicy meat. His nearly equal, perhaps,
is the Duroc Or Jersey red, or what is
CALEB the Tamworth in England. This
is supposed to be descended from the
old unimproved Berkshire, aui CA
sequently distant relative of the
improved of our day. But care must
be taken i'll purchasing Berkshires at the
present day, for some of them are nearly
spoiled by breeds in the quality of their
shoulders hams and side pieces. They
have shortened the head. length and
depth of the body given them pug nose
and fat jowls, like che Chinese, and fed
them almost entirely on corn. The
result is that the largest percentage on
the flesh is fat, instead of, tender lean,
juicy meat totally unfit for bacon. All
such breeding should be stopped at onee
not only in Berkshire, but in other
classes of swine that are reared expecting
to make bacon of them.

The RishtS of Widows.

Judge Wickes recently handed down
an opinion in case in Baltimore
that has created considerable interest
among the legal fraternity. 1t is in
relation to widows rights in will
made by her husband in which she first
acquiesced to act as ezecu;rix but later
on desired to reuounce the will and to
take her dover III the estate. Judge
Wickes decided that a widow has right
to do this. The case in question is that
of Warren Gebhart, an heir OF the late
John Gebhart, against Veronics Gebhart.
John Gebhart died some time ago, ard
made his wife tia exscutrix. She
administered upon the estate for four
months, after which time she elected
to renounce the same and take her third
under her widows dover.
In part Judge Wickes says: The
period within which she may renounce,
extended as it has been from time to
time until six months is now allotted
her, is intended to enable her to make
an intelligent election, but it scarcely
means that having made such election
and acted upon it that she can change
her mind at any time she may see proper
simply because the statutory period has
not elapsed. 4 married woman who
husband consents to accept the provi-
sion made for her in her husbands will
IN lieu of dover on condition that IL is
sufficient for her Comfort, and well
knowing that she can claim her 'dowry
or third at any time. The husband
dies, and two days afterward when the
will is read, she assents to it and says
she is satisfied. She continues to live
in the house where her husband died and
retains the furniture and clothes in her
possession. She is an executrx and
collects rent for rooms she rents out
and for the other property which she
was entitled to under tho will during
her life. The rents collected were
small in amount and she uses them to
buy mourning for herself and to live On.
She was never asked for the money by bel
co executors who seem to have take Il
charge of the estate. Finding the
provision made Tor her in her husband I
will not sufficient for her comfort after
four months of experience she personally
renouuces aud desires to take her dover
interest in tho estate. She has not i'm
paired the estate-she can return the
only article she holds and the few
dollars she collected and used to supply
her necessary and proper wants.
Upon these facts, aud they are uudis
puted, can conceive of no good reason
in law or equity or morals why she
should not be permitted to do so. The
bill must be dismissed!'

About Business Profits.

j. B. Mann writes in the Popular
Science KOnthEy: Arc business profits
too large? No they are not. He divides
tho factors OF successful business into
four, viz, capital, labor, skill and
opportunity. By skill we understand
him to mean the business ability ne
essary to seize an opportunity when it
goes flying past a man. In case of ten
boys, say nine must be laborers and one
an employer, for nature has SO managed
it that in every community the majority
of men must be laborers. Under the
strictly CO operative system all men
not discuss.
The man who has business ability sees
opportunity; the others do not. He
interests capital to the ex tent of utilizing
the opportunity. Capital and shrewd
ness hire the laborers and start a business
Profits accrue from it. Mr. Mann
supposes that the money coming in from
the industry is divided equally among
the three partners capital, shrewdness
and labor. There can only be one
capitalist and one man with business
ability to, say, nine laborers, in the
nature of things. Suppose the proceeds
Of the industry for given time are
thirty dollars. Let us divide it equally
among labor, capital and business ability
which for short we may call gumption.
Capital gets its ten dollars gumption
its ten dollars and labor it's ten dollars.
But there is one capitalist and one
gumption, and they each receive ten
dollars. If capital and gumption were
dollars. There are nine laborers. and
each laborer gets only ninth of ten
dollars, or dollar and eleven cents.
But there is no business that pays
three factors in this proportion. AS a
matter of fast Mr.. Mann declares that
labor gets more than two thirds of the
ircome of most undertakings, while
sometimes capital itself gets nothing at
all and its owner no moro than one OF
his own workipgmen Business cannot
be conducted successfully where the
margin of profit goes much below per
cent. That has been proved. When A.
I, Stewart died he lett thirty million
dollars. Counting up the amount of his
business transactions for forty years, it
will be shown thai his profits did not
average more than 5 per cent. a year.

EX-UNITED STATES SENATOR FAR
WELL, of Illinois, one of the old time
stalwart Republicans, Is out In letter
to the Chicago r-Ocean, in which
he takes the position that the Sherman
silver law has little to do with the
present money stTingency. The Sena-
tor is one of the most successful busi-
ness men in the West, and his views
are entitled to more weight than any
mere politician we know of, not ex'
cepting our John Sherman. Senator
Farwell fayors issuing long time 2
per cent. government bond, In order to
allow the National banks to supply
currency adequate to the demands OF
business, and, In the meantime reduce
our tariff taxes and government ex-
penses to the minimum, and not COM
pei this generation to pay off any more
of our war debt. He also fav0rs the
free coinage of silver, on a ratio of the
bullion value of gold and silver, and lie
suggests a limit TO the legal tender OF
silver, but does not fix the limit.

NEW LIGHT IN WALL STREET.

Henry Clews, the great Wall street
oracle and millionaire banker, is still
learning. He now thinks the Sherman
silver law Is not responsible for the
money stringency, but that the scarcity
of money is what ails us. How wise
you are, Henry. He is out in an inter-
view, which he telegraphs to the
country, by both the Associated: Press
and United Press, saying the country
needs more currency, This is just what
the NEWS DEMOCRAT has been saying
all the while. Here is Mr.. Clews prop
osition, as stated in his own language:
"The national bank act should be
amended to provide for notes being
issued up to the par value of United
States bonds and to provide for an issue
of notes against the surplus capital of
the national banks to the extent of 70
per cent. These two changes in the
law would make an increase In ma
tional currency amounting to about
50,000 600 and would provide the
nation with enough new money for its
needs, and 1t would be of the best and
most legitimate kind besides. The
New York banks have now surplus
of $70,000,000. The national banks of
other cities and elsewhere have prob
ably $100,000000 in addition. This
backing in cash or its equivalent to the
notes issued against same would make
them the strongest and most Legitimate
character of money in circulation"

SHOW UP The DEMAGOGUE.

Ex-President Harrison was recently
in New York. To question from q
Reporter who asked: AFTER the pas
sage of the Sherman law, silver sold at
1879; now it is at 90; how do you ac.
count for the shrinkage" Mr.. Harri-
son replied: III would perfer not to
discuss that subject now. But every
body knows that the Sherman law was
only an expedient. Sherman, AL
drich and many other Republicans
recognized that fact, and the Sherman
silver bill was passed in preference to
something worse"
In order to show the size
and style of Harrison as dis
honest demagogue, let us quote from
the platform of the Republican State
Convention of Indiana, for 1890. This
State Convention met in Harrison's
home city, (Indianopolie), short time
after the Sherman silver law was
passed. The following Is the plank in
the platform on the silver question,
which declaration was endorsed by Mr..
Harrison (then President) Here is the
indentical way in which the Republi-
cans of Indiana pointed with pride
to the Sherman silver law, in Septem-
ber, 1890.
"We cordially commend the action of
Republicans in Congress on the subject
of silver coinage. Ex-President Cleve-
land, by message to Congress, strongly
opposed all legislation favorable to sill
yer coinage, and the law recently en-
acted was passed in spite of persistent
Democratic opposition. Under its ben
Efficient influences silver has rapidly ap.
preached the gold standard of value,
farm products are advancing in price,
and commerce Is feeling the impulse of
increased prosperity. 1t will add more
than $50, 100000 annually of sound cur
rency to the amount in circulation
among the people, and is long yet
prudent step toward free coinage"
Compare this Official utterance of the
Harrison Republicans of Indiana In
1890 with Mr.. Harrison's dishonest
and demagogical talk now, and tell us
what you think of such public men for
leaders,

more ex-soldiers were not given post
offices in Stark county. But he Is
silent in the face of the removal Of the
veteran postmasters at Beach City and
Wilmot, and of the soldiers widow at
Canal Fulton. Massillon Independent.
We have had no crocodile tears to
shed, and hence have shed none, be-
cause the Harrison administration re-
fused to appoint soldiers to post-oflices
In Stark county; but we called atten-
tion to the fact, that in Massillon,
where the Grand Army almost unani-
mously endorsed soldier for post
master and where Major Mckinley
agreed to appoint any soldier the Ct. A.
II. would endorse, that no soldier was
appointed. We shed no crocodile tears
over the appointment of Russell, but
called attention to the fac, that was the
universal talk Of the city at the time,
that the party protesting such pro.
found and sincere friendship for the old
soldier was weighed in the balance and
found wanting, when the crucial test
of patriotism was made.
In the case at Canal Fulton, a soldier
was also turned down, and at Louis
vile, all the old soldier candidates were
ignored, and the postoffice was given 10
young man Ia recent arrivaD who had
newspaper, that was wanted to boost
the Republican campaign. We shed
no crocodile tears over this appoint
ment, but IL was convincing lndica-
ton, that the soldier business played
no part after the campaign was over
and we called attention to 1t, as an
item of news and as a patriotic edu-
Gator. As to the removal of the
soldiers widow at Canal Fulton; we
understand she has served out her three
years and has competence; and in the
natural course of events, a Democrat
has been appointed to her place. When
she was appinted a poor man with
seven children was removed to give
her a place, and we neither
saw nor heard of any croc-
odile tears from the over-sympa-
thetic eyes OF the Independent editor
because poor man, with seven chill
dren, was removed to give place to a
competent widow with competence

pendent be more explicit, Were old
soldiers removed to give places to rich
publicists, and what are the salaries OF
these off1cesp Give us the statistics.

and the jolly-jay to celebrate in public

ADVICE TO MCKINLEY.


ED. NEws-DEMooRAT: The follow

July ID, 1893.
"Gov.: Mckinley was in town again
this week. Very few people know this
except from the announcement of the
fact in the newspapers. He spent all
his spare time visiting a personal
friend living in West Cleveland.
The governor was in town two weeks
ago and spent most of his spare time
visiting O personal friend whose Office
is on the ground floor of the Society for
Savings building.
The governor usually visits, when in
Cleveland, whether on public, private
or political errands, q certain few
friends, whose headquarters are either
at the Society Of Savings building,
the Perry. Payne building or at the
Union Club. These gentlemen are
very good friends to have; they bave

at a very critical time, but there is a
restive feeling among the lesser lights
and some who are not so lesser, either
because of this exclusive habit of
Mckinley. They say that five minutes
after the governor inscribes his name
upon democratic hotel register; he Ia
not to be found by the common people;
he Is at lunch at the Union club or at
some private residence. Instead of in
viting the public to meet him occasion
ally at his room in the hotel, he goes
bowling out Euclid avenue behind a
four-in-hand, which, of course, is very
pleasant.
There have been mutterings and cuss
words in private over this unfortunate
habit that the governor has unwit-
tingly gotten into. The World feels
that is time to call his attention to the
facts for his own good. The governor
and his friends at Columbus often
wonder why he Is weak In Cuyahoga
county. If they carefully peruse this
they will know one Of the most potent
reasons.
When ]. b. Foraker was governor he
made it an ironclad rule to refuse all
invitations to private houses when he
went to the various Ohio towns to
speak or on business; he always put up
at the hotel and word was sent to the
"boys" to come In and shake his hand
Therein lies one of the reasons of the
wonderful hold that Foraker had upon
the people"

CONGRESSMAN A. j. PEARSON, who
represents the Carroll Washington dis
trict, is now talked of for Governor. A
st. Clairsyille correspondent of the
Plain Dealer says:
"He is bright, attractive man, a
little on the style of ex Governor
Campbell, and his manner of meeting
an audience puts him on good terms
with every man in it. He is natural
leader and has wonderful magnetism.
The Judge is not anxious to give up a
seat in congress to fight Mckinley, but
he cannot withhold his consent If he is
nominated. The Democrats of this
district, and in fact, of nearly all of
eastern Ohio, seem to have decided that
he is the man they want, and his name
will be used, either with or without his
consent, before the convention"

Story of "a Doc and Her Fawn.

As two men were riding by the side of n
stream in California they saw in front Of
them O doe and her fawn drinking at q
point where the banks were steep and the
water was deep. Startled at the unlocked
for appearance of human beings, the two
animals intended to dart off, but in turn
ing the fawn missed its footing and slipped
into the river. The current was running
very strongly and bore the fawn down
stream rapidly
Losing all fear Of the men In her greater
fear for her baby's life, the doe bolted along
the bank trying to seize the fawn with her
teeth. Not succeeding, she next ran ahead,
plunged into the river, got secure foothold
by fixing her feet in holes in the rocks and
then waited until the stream should bring
the fawn toward her. Presently the fawn
was washed up against her and clasped her
around the neck with its fore legs In a
few moments the deer bore it to the bank,
and then lying down licked and fondled
her baby until it recovered, when the pair
trotted away into some woods close by. The
kind mother took no notice whatever Of the
men, who were not 30 feet distant and had
they been hard hearted enough could easily
have caught both creatures.

The Advantages of Double Houses.

For the same amount of money invested,
two houses treated as one structure will
cost less than two detached dwellings and
afford an opportunity of securing more
imposing and attractive exterior. When
erected upon two full city lots, it allows
greater space for light and air on all sides.
Furthermore, the design may be arranged
80 that each house shall have separate en-
frances and quite as much individuality as
detached dwellings. They also possess some
advantages over the latter. They are warm
er, and consequently require less expense
in the heating apparatus.
