In GIVING the news we never lnten-
tionally allow our bias or prejudice to
sway our judgment. The following is
from the Kansas City Star, an indie
pendent democratic paper, and an ar
dent admirer of Grover Cleveland. It
endeavors, we think, to give the situa-
fion from a non-partisan standpoint.
We do not fully endorse all that is said,
but believe that the republican party is
Strong enough in the state to-day to
beat any combination or fusion that
may be made. The Star says:
@The strong hope of the republicans
will be in the stalwart democrats who
now promise to be a potent factor in the
next election. Should they continue to
grow in numbers and influence as they
have grown in the last few weeks they
will be able, if not to control the next
democratic state convention, at least to
preserve the party organization. and put
a ticket in the field, which would give
republicans new hope and open the way
to republican success. To this end the
republicans are working; lending their
sympathy to the stalwarts, encouraging
the middle-of-the-road populists in their
fight on fusion and keeping up party
pride in their own ranks.
"The practical politicians on the pop
ulist side, while they pretend not to be
alarmed and profess confidence that they
can win without democratic assistance,
make no concealment of their desire to
accomplish fusion. They have had a
taste of power and. they like it so well
that they will take no chance of losing
the straight and narrow path. Such is
the fusion programme.
"But there is still another programme: ::
If the middle-of-the-road element domi
mates the state convention, Governor
Lewelling and his associates in the state
house are to be turned down and no fu-
sionist will be given place on the state
ticket. This would cause breach in
the populist ranks, and open still an
other chance for republican success. So
perhaps it is just as well for the repub-
iicans to make no sign of their intention
for the present, but to watch the cat
fight in the other camp and take ad-
vantage of it."
Western Kansas world., 1893-06-24

AS A proof of the necessity of fusion
to defeat the republican party Mr.
Dunsmore, of Neosho, late speaker OF
the Bald Hornet house, calls attention
to the vote of the state last fall by coun-
ties. In forty-four counties the repub-
lican ticket was victorious, the fusionists
carry sixty and in forty-five counties the
majority either way was less than 100,
twenty-five being narrowly republican
and twenty narrowly fusionist. The
twenty counties that went fusion by less
than 100 majority were Atchison 81 ma
iority, Bourbon 80, Butler so, Chase 50,
Clark 70, Comanche 81, Cowley 10, Ed
wards 73, Greenwood AZ, Linn %, Lyon
80, Mcpherson 81, Miami 3S, Ness "a,
Norton SO, Ottawa 9S, Pawnee %, Rocks
81, Rush 46, Scott 20. In these twenty
counties there was fusion loss from
the combined vote of 1890 in all but
seven. In Atchison they lost 226 votes,
Bourbon so, Butler 303, Chase 80, Clark
IA. Comanche 10, Edwards 81, Green
wood 300, Lyon $50, Mcpherson same
vote both years, but republicans gained
$50, Miami loss of 346, Ness 80, Ottawa
204 and Rush Al. In Cowley they gain
ed 4S, but the republican gain was 761,
in linn they gained % and republicans
gained 164, in Norton they gained "a
and republicans gained 372, in Pawnee
they gained 90 and republicans l39, in
Rocks they gained SO and republicans
gained 800, and in Scott they gained %
and republicans gained 2. The fusion
lists succeeded in carrying only one
county that was republican two years
before. The twenty-five republican
counties that went republican by less
than 100 majority were Brown 10 major
ity, Cherokee 10, Ellsworth 5, Grant 20,
Gray 45, Greeley q, Hamilton so, Hask-
ell 66, Jefferson 5S, Kearney rs, Kiowa
%. Lane 80, Logan 9S, Meade AZ, Morris
90, Morton 80, Nemaha %, Potawatomie
Z, Reno so. Seward Al, Stanton Is, Trego
S5, Wallace 50, Wichita 81, Woodson 40.
There were fusion losses in fourteen of
these counties and gains in eleven. But
in every case except Hamilton, Meade,
Seward and Stanton the republican gain
exceeded the fusion gain, and Meade
and Seward were the only counties
where the republican vote fell off from
1890. It is not likely therefore, that fu-
sion will win more than three counties
that went republican last fall, while if
the republican party will make an active
.campaign in the twenty counties that
went fusion by less than 100 votes it has
q good chance to carry nearly all Of
them. In Bourbon We; gained 306 votes
last fall and thirty more would change
the vote to the republican side; in But
Ter We gained 2l9 votes and twenty-six
more will carry the county; in Cowley
we gained 761 and six votes more win

bystock unclaimed by anyone, it will
be some time before a herd law will
be generally practicable.
1t is simply - question
of "who shall do the fencing?"
To the small farmer without stock
it means a great deal to be able to dis
pense with fences, and it means quite
as much to the one who has SOME cat
tie 'tOn the outsider in addition 20 his
crops, and to the man who is only q
"cow puncher." 1t is not fair that the
poor one horse farmer should be COM
PEELED TO fence in his corn and cotton
patch while the owner of "Cattl Q on a
thousand hills" is under no legal OBJ
legations to keep his stock under con-
troll or pay damages for injuries they
may do, except the sufferer can show
that his crops were surrounded with a
seattle proof fence, thing that can
not be shown, as the very tact that
cattle broke Trough the fence is evil
dence that it was not seattle proof"
Whether it would be of much benefit
to the farmer need not enter into the
decision of the question. If optional
it would only be applied by thu Sc
wanting it, and if majority of the
freeholders of any community want it
they ought to have it.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-02-16
Fence or No Fence, That is the Question.

Senator Tips has a bill now before
the upper house" having for its OBJ.
ject the ext enslOn of the stock law SO
as TO embrace cattle, horses, mules,
elephants, camels and other quadru-
peds now allowed to roam at large.
The present stock law applies only to
hogs, sheep and goats, and is optional
with the 1reehOlders. SO is the hog
law. Inc latter is now in force in
most civilized districts, and the stock
law is very generally adopted where
sheep ana goats ABOUND near Guilt
waited fields, tor without such prOt9c-
ton crops are not possible. IL is all
uuassallab!e principle that animals,
not crops, should be surrounded by
controlling fences. A crop will never
leave its home and trespess on the do
main OF animals; it Can be kept at
home without the aid of fence, while
instances have been known OF cattle
leaving the range" and tres passing
upon the more or less protected crop.
The principle l have laid down is
recognized in nearly every old settled
country, and the time Will come when
it will be readily accepted in what is
now termed the "Wild and wOolly
West"
1t is questionable, however, if a herd
law is practicable to any extent in
Texas AT the present time. There may
be few Counties SO densely popu-
lated with soil tillers and with 50 Int.
tie open range that herd law might
he adOpted; but the vast majority
have large tracts of unimproved or
unenclosed land which at present at.
lords pasturage for cattle and horses,
which, under Il herd law would be
wasted and become source OF danger
to the wh2le country by being ii ed
But as Senator Tips bill is not COM
pulsory, but leaves its application to
the discrimination of freehoders in
any defined district same as the pres.
ent stock aud hog laws, there can be
no valid reason for opposing it.
1t would seldom be called for, as in
old settled districts cultivated fields
are already under fence and few far
mers would care to remove them and
leave their crops at the mercy of va.
grant animals that are not worth half
the damage they could do in an hour:
while they would be compelled to
fence in and find water for the few
cattle they now have on the range.
In state like Texas where stock
raising and agriculture are SO in.

such large areas OF open country in

Bunch or Vineless Sweet Potato

A. rcultural Edi or Of The statesman.
This wonderful new potato grows
more and more in favor. 1t is called
the labor saving potato, from the fact
that there are no vines to handle in
cultivating. They grow very thick
and stocky, completely covering the
ground, making dense shade, there
by making it impossible for grass or
weeds to grow Immediately around
the crown of the potato. 1t will stand
more dry weather with less injury
than any other potato that grows and
yielding almost double the old vine
yam. You can run pillow right
through the rows even at harvest
time, without the least injury to the
vines. AS to the quality of them,
there is no other potato that equals
this wonderful potato for table use. 1t
sells for more in the market than any
other. IL is the delight Of the house
wife and pride of the truck farmer,
and those who know their merits will
plant no other and we cannot com.
mend them too highly. b. s. LEE.
Mansfield, La.
The above is from the pen of a
Louisiana farmer who has made a
speciality of the bunch yam. If one
half the good properties he claims for
for the potato are merited, then in
deed is it q valuable accession to
Southern farm crops, and is worthy of
trial. l regret that he did not state
the best method of planting and Guilt
walton. suppose the seed potatoes
must be bedced like other varieties
and the slips pulled and planted where
in ended to grow. AS they are said
to be viueless, it would seem as if the
crops would have to come from clips,
and none OF it from vine cuttings as
in the case of other years. If any of
my readers can give any information
on this point 1 will be obliged. Per-
haps Mr. CIPHER will tell his exper.
fence with and opinion of the potato.
In answer to several correspondents 1
have to say that Bunch Yam seed pc.

DR. HARTMAN ON CA7ARRH,
The Fallaoy of Catarrh Cures.

The fatal mistake which so many
physicians OF all schools make i'll the
treatment of catarrh is, that it is re-
garded as local disease and not as a
systemic disease. Ii the patient has
catarrb of the nose or throat, sprays
and gargles are used; if the catarrh is
in the larynX or bronchial tubes, i'll
halents are used; if the catarrh is in
the stomach, medicine is swallowed;
if the catarrh is in the bladder or
urethra, injections are resorted to;
hoping III each case to cure this dis
ease by applying the medicine to the
exact spot where the disease is treated.
While it is q fact that sprays, in
halents, gargles and injections are
often hejptvl in the treatment of case
of catarrh, they can never accomplish
u cure. Catarrh is a disease OF the
system, which manifests itself in some
Mucous membrane, ottenest of the
nose, throat, bronchial tubes or lungs,
but frequently of the stomach and
bOwles, and again of the urinary and
sexual organs. A persistent use of
Pe-ru-na according 10 the directions
on the bottle will remove the catarrh-
| y
the diseased part, wherever located,
Will soon recover. That this is the
correct theory of the treatmtnt of Ca
tarrh is amply proven by the multi
tud~ of testimonials that
are constantly pouring in
from al parts of the
Catarrh in all stages and varieties,
colds, coughs, bronchitis, la grippe,
catarrhal dyspepsia, all yield, surely
and permanently, to the curative
virtues of Pe.ru-na.
John B. Risley of Merrimac, Wis,
writes, July, 8, 1889: "I received in
December last-one of DR.. Hartman's

1t is needless to attempt to give
only the vaguest outline of the won
derful success which Pe.ru.na has
met with in the cure of catarrh. This
success is entirety due to the fact that
Pe.ru-na eradicates the disease from
the system instead of temorarily re-
letving some disagreeable symptoms.
