HOW 1T WAS BEFORE.

See how it was when the demo-
cratic parry was in power in years
long ago. The following is from
the New York Tribune of January,
1855:
On Saturday we spent an hour there
(Orange and Catham streets, where charity
gave dinners to the poor) at the hour of high
tide. We have never seen anything like it
before Upward of 1000 people were fed
with plate of soup, piece of bread and a
piece of meat on the premises, and in all
more than l,6O0. On the same day l,l30
portions of soup were dealt out from Stew
arts ''soup Kitchen in the rear of the
great store, corner Reade street and Broad
way AT the rooms ON Duane street for the
relief of the poor on the same day they gave
food to 1886. In the 9th ward alone over
6, 600 persons were fed by charity on Satur-
day, January l6. And this is only one day
in one ward. Meanwhile scenes of a like
nature are being enacted all over the city.
| A procession of several thousand persons
kept marching. about the streets yesterday
with flags and banners whice bore such in.
scriptions as, Hunger is Sharp Thorn, y
'"The l asst Resource, ''Live and Let Live, u
.We Want Work" etc., etc. Such are the
scenes that are being enacted daily before
our eyes, while the cry of hard times reaches
US from every part of the country. The
making of roads is stopped, factories are
closed and houses and ships are no longer
being built. Factory hands, roadmakers,
carpenters, bricklayers, aud laborers are
idle. Paralysis is rapidly embracing every
pursuit in the country. The cause of all
this stoppage of circulation IS found in the
steady outflow of gold to pay foreign
laborers for the cloth, the shoes, the iron
and the other things that could be produced
by American labor, but which cannot be
produced under our present revenue system.
If it be not stopped tthe democratic reve-
nue. only tariff system) we shall see tens of
thousands of men everywhere crying: 'Give
me work. Only give me work. Make
your own terms. My wife and children
lhave nothing to eat.

The Oregonian says that the
senate finance committee is max
ing desperate effort to secure as
sent Of all democratic senators to
the Wilson bill before reporting it..
This is the explanation of the de-
lay. The Louisiana senators have
been most intractable, threatening
to fight the bill on the floor of the
senate if the duty on sugar were
not restored. 1t IS possible that
the nomination of White to the
supreme bench is designed to miti-
gate the hostility of himself and
colleague to Mr.. Cleveland's pet
measure. The president found
out long ago that patronage goes
farther than argument in convinc-
ing democratic members of con-
gress.

A REPUBLICAN CLUB SONG.

Written for THE CORVALLIS GazETTE)
We are marching to success and we're valiant for
the Truth,
Hoping to crush the giant Error.
Some are hoary-headed veterans and some hot
headed youth,
But strangers all to doubt and fear and terror.
CHORUS
Hurrah for our leaders. whatever their names;
Wen follow their guidance despite scheming
games,
For we do not love backsliders, know we're in
the right;
Down with free trade and up with protection
We will welcome to our number the patriots of the
Where tired of Eagland's domination,
We're the friends of home industry opposing in a

We are c,ming in the wake of New York and Ohio,
And all those other noble sons of thunder,
Who through their bullets striking have dealt such
deadly blows
To foes of home, the varqnished stood in
But another power opposes we cannot quite ignore,
A mongrel democrat and prohibition,
Which favors wildcat schemes and dozen things or
That soon would send the country to per-
diton.
CHORUS.
They follow their leader Jim Weayer's his name;
He leads by msstatements; he loves schenl-

He's old sore-head backslider; he left the way OF

Down with his sophistries and falsehoods.
Our leaders they many; they're numbered by the
score;
Proudly allegience true well bear them.
And although the fight be ferce,and met defeat

Bravely Wen meet the foe and dare them

GOVERNOR and Mrs. Mckinley

GOVERNOR and Mrs. Mckinley
are again in possession of the prop
erty conveyed to trustees last
summer, when the governor was
forced TO make an assignment.
This result is due to the efforts Of
Trustees III. H. Kohlsadt, of the
Chicago Inter- Ocean, Col. Myron
L. Herrick, of Cleveland, and
Judge VIM. r. Day, of Canton.
When these gentlemen received
the trust, they decided without
consulting the governor to raise
money with which to meet the
governors obligations. This has
been fully done by private sub
scriptions. Final papers have
been signed in the probate court
at Canton, and the property
decided back to the governor and
Mrs. Mckinley, and the trustees
discharged.

has been nominated by the presi-

they are as nothing led to the terrible

COOLING BOX FOR BUTTER.

down into the bottom of the box. To
facilitate the cooling the butter is
rolled into an arch, as shown in the
cut. In large dairies these boxes are
large enough to admit of placing two
or three layers of butter to cool at
once.
Every dairy is supplied with several
scales of varying sizes. The decimal
weight is used everywhere. Instead
Of moving the weight along on the
lever arm, as we usually do, there are
two platforms, one on which to place
the object to be weighed and on the
other the weights of different sizes.
In many dairies they use weight on
the receiving platform for the milk.
which has basin holding from so to
rs gallons. The milk is poured into
this, and when a certain weight is
reached it is checked off and the basin
is tipped SO that it cmpties its contents
into the large milk vat.
Many styles Of buckets and milk
cans are used. They are generally
made of heavy tin and they are not
infrequently enormous in size. The
cans in which the milk is transported
are of two general forms, square and
round, and the mouth is SO large that
it admits hand and arm readily.
Frequently the weight of the can is
stamped upon it, or it is stamped upon
brass plate and soldered to the can,
thus obyiating the weighing of the can.

Examples of very successful feeding
OF cows are becoming common, show

From the Homestead we select an ex-
ample that may serve to inspire some
one to better effort:

Never rails of N Market.

Dairying is the grandest help-out
the farmer has to-day. There is not,
in my opinion, the slightest reason for
fearing that frst-class butter, prop
erly marketed, will ever fail to be
profitable to the maker. There is too
much poor butter manufactured for
that. Let those who wish TO profit by
it make only d strictly high-grade
article, aud the price is all right for
all they have to sell Some Localities
may make one way of selling best. and
some another. Each individual but
ter maker must study the situation for
himself am speaking of homo but
ter-making, not to creamery butter
makers. i believe the place to make
the butter is at home on the farm.
Not that would do away with the
creameries, but for clear profit the
home dairy will come out ahead II
properly managed. The work. OF
course, is also greater than where the
milk or cream is sent to the creamery.

reproduce an illustration of a cooling
box for butter Prof. Georgeson says:
Butter coolers are found in every

made either Of wood or in some cases
of zinc. in which the butter is kept to
cool after it is removed from the but

it is time to give it the next working.
The box is provided with one or more
