Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
LAUREL HILL, N. O.
The battle is I'VE The '~'invincible"
and "unterrified" democracy is rele-
gated to a back seat in the political
arena.
For the past two weeks Democratic
organs have been full of discussions as
to the cause of defeat, but few of them
will admit the truth. Briefly told, it
was merely a protest by all people who
favor government by the people"
against a political organization which
Constitutes itself the whole people and
legislates accordingly. But Democracy,
though badly defeated, is by no means
dead and reformers cannot rest on their
oars. Eternal vigilance" is the price
of success as well as of liberty and re-
Taxation now means defeat in 1896.
Democratic success in 1896 may
mean a great deal. In the bitterness
of defeat they make no secret of the
fact that they favor educational quail
f~ication." The next thing to this will
be property qualification" They say
that the best people of this country
should rule" If this is right, then a
republican form of government is
wrong and we should proceed to ap-
point a king.
Then let us keep up the fight and
continue to "co operate" Let not
party strife and blind ambition"
create dissension among us, but stand
as n man for a pure government and
a fair ballot. Let us raise our standard
of craftsmanship by nominating good
men only, for can a corrupt tree bring
forth good Fruit"
Trust no future howe'erp pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead;
Act, act in the living present,
Heart within anu God O'erne8d."

NORTH CAROLINA DA1RY1NG.

Capt. E. B. Hambley, proprietor of
the Rockwell Park Stock Farm at
Rockwell. North Carolina, writes
HOdrd's DairymGn as follows: I'VE
are milking now forty head of A. J. O..
@. Jerseys, and our daily milk product
tests from 6.25 per cent to 6 rs per
cent. by the Babcock test. Last year
our average was 5000 pounds of milk
per COW with an average test of a little
under seven per cent, We have only
three COWS that have had more than
two calves. These will milk in one
year 8, 500 to 5000 pounds of milk test,
ing nearly six per cent. We have now
seven hundred and fifty tons of silage
in the silo and shall feed throughout
the winter about twelve pounds grain
per COW daily, in addition to fifty
pounds of silage per day. We do this
with a view of bringing our butter
product up to four hundred and fifty
pounds per cow" That is a statement

the Late unpleasantness" and they
were the boys to ''get there" 1 hope
every word of the above statement, as
large as it is, is a cold fact and shows
what can be done. The amount of
feed, twelve pounds of ground. feed
and fifty pounds of ensilage, is not
very heavy feeding, though it is liberal,
while the COWS seem to be extra fine
and heavy mixers for Jerseys. 1t is
generally thought that a Jersey to be
most useful and profitable should not
yield more than five thousand pounds
of milk a year, that she should make
up in quality what other COWS produce
by quantity. That, however, is nothing
to quarrel over.

By far the best way to get your fer

buy the acid phosphate, heterogeneous

w. C. T. L. Adopts Resolutions Cordially
Commenting the sergeant's Work.
The W. c. T. Z. held quite an interesting
meeting yesterday afternoon at Vermont Ave-
nue. Christian Church, The object the meet
ing was to hear brief reports of its delega tes
who attended the recent national convention
of the W. C. 7. Z. at Cleveland and to pass
resolutions commencing the course of Ser
geant Daley.
President Grifiths was in the chair, with
her ON the rostrum being Mrs. Theresa Will
Jams, Mrs. La Fetra. Rev. f. D. Power, Mrs.
Westcott, district treasurer Mrs. Emma Shell
ton. district recording secretary; Mrs. Anna
Beider, Miss Lou Waitman. corresponding
secretary, and Mr. E. J. Redmond. president
of the local Total Abstinence Society.
Brief addresses were made by Mrs Beider.
Mrs. Williams, Miss Waitman, and Mrs. Shell
ton. BY invitation speeches were also made
by Hon. Hiram Price and Mr.. Redmond.
The remarks of the ladies relating to the
convention were confined to the details OF
that body and comprised their personal ex-
perience while at Cleveland
During the course of her remarks Mrs.
Shelton made the statement that committee
OF the national union might be expected here
soon to investigate the bars in the National
Capitol.
Mrs. Grif1ths, before introducing the gen.
tlemen who were to address the meeting,
spoke briefly of ''the strong position taken by
the great Catholic Church on the liquor ques-
ton, and rejoiced in the position of the
apostolic ablegate on that issue"
Mr.. RedmoEd's address was devoted to
recital of what Sergt. Daley had recently ac-
complished. He stated his belief that all the
charges against the officer grew out
of his enforcement of the excise law. He
did not wish to be construed as meaning
that Daley was the only conscientious officer
on the force for he believed the Washington
constabulary as fine body as could be found
anywhere. Criticisms could only apply to the
black sheep.
Speaking not of Daley, but of the police, he
said that if the Christian people show by
their action that they are in favor not only of
Daley, but of all good officers, the police will
demonstrate that they are worthy OF the favor.
Rev. Mr.. Power aud Mr.. Price also made
brief addresses in which they heartily COM
mended Sergt. Daley, Mr.. Power speaking of
his stand rs heroic.
The following resolution was then passed
having previously been passed by the execu-
tive committee of the W. G. T. u, and for
warded to the District Commissioners:
Resolved. That the W. c. T. U. recognize
IN Sergeant Daley faithful and efficient
officer, determined upon the performance of
his sworn duty in the enforcement of the ex-

against him as part Of the system Of perse-

IRVING LEFT HIS MARKS.

He Stole a Watch from Explorer WelIman
and Other Articles Elsewhere
A confession was obtained yesterday from
Irving Marks, the boy crook, who was ar
rested by Detectives Rhodes and Quinlan,
which showed him to be a clever and nervy
sneak thief The detectives talked with the
lad for awhile. and advised him to make
clean breast of his thefts. Yesterday Marks
made up his mind to tell all he knew, and he
conducted the officers to several houses which
he had entered
One of his victim was Walter Wellman. the
artic explorer who is staying at the Clifton,
at Fifteenth street and Massachusetts avenue.
A valuable watch that had been a faithful
companion of Mr.. Wcllman amid the icy
regions OF the North was taken from a mantel-
piece. The timepiece was recovered.
Marks took the detectives to the house of
Mrs. MoriartY, at No. zoos Fourteenth street.
where he had stolen iewelry. The Off GERS
were the first to inform Mrs. Moriarty that
ANYTHING had been stolen from her house.
The same programme was carried out at the
residence of Mrs. Murray, No. 604 Twelfth
street northwest. The boy also sneaked into
and robbed the houses of DR.. Harrison, on G.
street, and Miss i. P. Davis, at No. 1889
Fourteenth street northwest. A consider
able portion OF the stolen property was recoy-
cred by the detectives.

INFLUENCE OF THBosoPHY.

President Coffin, of the TheosophicaI So.
eiety, Delivers an Interesting Address
An appreciative audience listened last even
ing to Mr.. George D. Coffin, president of the
Theosophical Society OF Washington, who de-
livered a public address on the subject of
"Inluence Of theosophy upon human action. "
Mr.. Coffin said theosophy is an effort to get
at the central truth of real religion. divested
from Prof. Max Mueller TO show that all re-
ligiOns come from the East, the home OF the
Aryan race, of which Americans and Euro
peans, as well as the Hindoos. are common
ofTshoots. Nine Blayatsky procured the ideas,
which she advanced uader the general name
Of "Theosophy." from this common source of
religions.
de contrasted the theosophical idea of
deity or God with the church idea; and he
adduced many arguments tending to prove
the eternity OF human life. He quoted from
the Bhagavad-Gita. one of the oldest of the
sacred books of India, to show what a ma
jestic conception of mans God-like nature
and powers is held in the East and by the
Theosophical Society, and he endeavored to
show what potent influence the ideas
Of reincarnation, Karma, and masters or ell
der brothers OF humanity, must exert upon
human conduct
He claimed that the fundamental principles
Of theosophy are strictly in accord with the
most advanced teachings OF modern science,
and be quoted freely from Profs. Huxley and
Max Mueller to sustain this position.

assault for publishing articles relating to the

that he did not intend to crjticise the private

should feel free to discuss the manner in which
the officials of the city should discharge their
public duties; that, if at any time evidence
should appear that he had made misstate-
ment, he would promptly make a correction,
