bog for many years was deposed in 1892
OF the year before. but did not give up
until half dozen of the women who
had annually picked with her had duck
ed her and pummeled her within an
inch Of her life.
It is not easy work to gather cranber-
ries. None but the shortest of mortals
can do the work without going on the
knees. This is very wearying to those
indispensable parts of the human anat-
omy and very wearing on skirts and
trousers. The picker Of short stature
who stoops at the picking saves the knee
WEAKNESS and the wear and tear of
raiment, but Is generally affected
with what the Cod pickers call q
s'erick' and the Jersey pickers a
misery in the back that more than
makes up. Piclzers who gather from the
wild" boys can ordinarily sell their
pick for about 80 cents bushel and
can pick from two to four bushels in
day. The latter quantity is exceptional,
however. Pickers on cultivated Dogs are
paid by the measure, receiving ticket
for each measure and ''cashing in" at
the week end. The women are not
able as a rule, to pick as many Gran
berries as the men. owing to their lesser
strength; but, especially in Jersey, they
are apt to finish the season with more
money. because they gamble less and
spend less.
It is not at all unusual on the cape
for young men and women who are
striving to educate themselves to 20 out
on the boys and earn the money to pay
for a term s tuition at the nearest acad-
envy, and the presence of such an element
in a gang of pickers is likely to lessen
the tendency to roughness. On the cape,
and children-are sometimes to be seen
picking side by side.
On most cultivated Dogs there is an
overseer who follows after the pickers
and urges them to hasten IN their work,
for it is to the interest Of the grower to
get the crop harvested as early in the
season as possible There is sometimes
a good deal of grumbling because Of this
feature of the Gran berry harvest, for the
oYeFseer IS not always man Of excess
lively polite language, and it is of record
that those who are freest in their talk
to the picl1ers are sometimes soundly
thumped therefor.
A well cultivated cranberry bog is
about as good looking a crop as can we'll
be found, with its trim rows of vines,
and, when the berries are ripe. its glis-
tening red fruit by way of contrast with
the green Of the leaves. Before the days
of cultivation, when the cranberry was
itself weed, it had no enemies IN ma
ture, so far as known, but now 1t is
cursed with the three square grass, =
the Cranberry bu1rush' and the web
worm, - all of which are the terror Of
cranberry growers On the cape 1.-The
Gran berry pouItice'' is held to be a SOW
ereign cure for erysipelas. and there are
other disorders for which the fruit Is
considered the best medicine going.

10. nj. Kendall.

Hon. Joseph NJ. Kendall was
nominated on the second ballot, at
The Campton Convention, for Con-
FRESHMAN from this district. The
ADVOCATE fOreshadowed this re-
,ult in the issues of the paper for
several weeks past. He was so
plainly the choice Of the district
that no one at all cOnversant with
the facts could have a reasonable
doubt of the result. He is unques-
tionably the choice of the district
and he will make a stronger fight
than any one the Convention could
have named. The Republicans
have put up a man who will get
votes, and many of them, in his
part of the district, and it was
good politics in the Democrats to
name a man who could hold his
own with Brother Hopkins"
And 10. Kendall is that man.
There is no good sense in attempt
ing to close our eyes to the fact, for
it is a fact, that Mr.. Hopkins will
be found with great big vote if
you don't keep your eyes on him
mighty close. The fact that he is
a man Of no experience in matters
legislative and that he is not likely
to cut any very creditable figure
in Congress will not hinder him
from rolling up from the hills and
hollows, ballots sufficient to put
his opponent to his best work if he
is to be beaten.
10. Kendall is just the man to
do this work for his party, but he
can notdo it alone. Every Democrat
in the district is pledged to use his
utmost endeavor to help Mr.. Ken.
dali in this conflict. We hope tc
see Montgomery County show tC
the nominee that he is no laggard
in the fight, and that Kendall will
have an increased majority in No
Vember.

JIM DASH. -

We announce to-day Mr.. ID.
Conner Lisle, of Winchester, as
candidate for Congress to fill the
unexpired term. Mr.. Isle is an
exceedingly pleasant gentleman,
who is serving his people as post
master of his town and has a host
of good friends all over his coun-
ty. He is not politician in the
sense Of being seeker after office.
The Office he now holds being the
only one he has ever asked for. He
is well spoken of by every
man who knows him. No,
man has a word to say in
disparagement Of his personal
character, and his conduct of the
Office he now fills, has won for him
the good opinion of the very many
with whom he comes in contact.
He is gentleman who is only too
glad to do those many true and
kindly deeds that win for man the
esteem and confidence of his neigh
bors and acquaintance. Mr..
Lisle says he is willing to leave
to Clark county the settlement Of
his claims to the office to which he
aspires. He says it was the wish
of his brother (the lamented Mar
Gus G. Lisle) that he should fill out
this term, and being in close touch
with his brother he thinks he could
more effectively carry out his
wishes and intentions than any
otherman in the district. He sub 3
mits his claim to generous people
and asks that they will consider
them.

DEAR ADVOCATE /:

The news of the death of Hon.
M. G. Lisle was received in Wash
ington with sadness. Mr.. Lisle
had made many friends here dur
ing his brief stay, Notwithstanding
he was ill most of the time. He
was present in the House many
times when he should have been
in bed. He worked hard during
the tariff debate in the House and
when that measure was finally
disposed of, so far as the House
was concerned at that time, he
was completely worked down. And
his untiring efforts in behalf of his
constituents has shown that he
was their Representative, the Rep
resentative of the ZENITH District
in the fullest meaning Of that
term.
Mr.. Isle was a true and tried
Democrat, and one that would
stand for principle, and frown at
wrong doing, and had his career
not been cut so short he would
have been shining mark in the
|
Nations legislature. He was gain
ing prestige, and influence and
well he deserved his prominence.
The tariff bill is now in the hands
of the conference committee who oc-
cupy the finance committee room, "a
the Senate end of the big house on
the hill. 1t is thought the bill will be
passed finally about the last of the
present month with some changes
in the Senate amendments. The
discussion so far has been merely
on the bill as whole, with slight
exceptions. The more important
schedules have not as yet been
touched, and it is thought there
will be some tall talking when il

Judue W. NJ. Becknsr.

At the Campton Convention
Judge Beckner, of Clark county
was recommended to the Demo
Gratis of the district as a man in
every way qualified to fill out The
unexpired term. This recommend
alton, be it understood, carries
with it only so much weight as the
combined judgment of the delegates
in convention assembled these
delegates, by the way, being repre-
sentative men Of the district), and
expressed by them, may amount to-
1t was not proposed to crowd any
man off the track, nor do we wish
to forestall any good Democrat in
his desire to offer for the nomina-
ton, for this term, by anything we
may say of Judge Beckner now, or
at any time, till the nominee is
declared.
In Judge Beckner we recognize
a man of unquestioned ability; a
man of wide experience in legisla-
tive affairs, and man of integrity.
In short, a man who can fill this
short term, not for the money in
it, but to the credit and advance
ment of his State and his district.
We sincerely hope there will no
one offer for the short term against
Judge Beckner, not alone because
we recognize in him a man so pecu-
liarly fitted for the peculiar posi-
ton to which he aspires, but as
we'll because we think the tacit
promise of a support from so many
delegates, In so many counties,
can mean nothing less than need
less expense and defeat to any man
who opposes him. Judge Beckner
will no doubt have a clear field
and when elected, will go to Con 3
gress so well equipped for the SER
vice that he can at once take his
place in the ranks of the workers
IN the House. Almost any other
man in the district, who would be
willing to accept the nomination,
would be about as much use to us
during this "piece of term as a
wooden man.
when the above was penned we
lid not know of any opposition to
Judge Beckner. Later we are in
formed Mr.. d. Conner Lisle,
brother of the late Congressman,
is an announced candidate.

The tax is to be ST. gallon and the

From the position of a minister Of
exceptional eloquence and much infu-
ence for good, the Rev. Myron Reed
of Denver has descended rapidly,
First he enter ed politics and adopted
the Populist faith; then he was de-
posed from his pastorate for encour-
aging lawlessness during the Cripple

Democrats of Montgomery Coun-
ty remember that 10. Kendall went
to the Committee on Public Build
ings and secured for US a favorable
report on Public Building for Mt.
Sterling. The fact that his term
expired so shortly after he was
able by his hard work to secure
this favorable report was what
alone kept him from pushing the
bill to a passage. He has shown
his interest in us, let us exhibit
our interest in him.

Judge Beckner presented his claims
to the people of the county yesterday
as a Democratic candidate for Con-
gress for the short term from this dis
Gict. He made a telling speech in
which he briefly, but plainly, exhibit.
ed to his hearers how thoroughly con-
versant he is with the questions of the
day. Mr.. d, Conner Lisle in briet
speech, asked of his hearers their sup.
port.

Both Judge Beckner and Mr.. Con-
ner Isle state they are willing to sub
init their claims as candidates for
Congress to Clark county for settle
ment. We shall be very glad to have
Clark county settle this matter be-
tween these two gentlemen, and GER
tainly, since it is on all hands, con-
ceded that Clark should name the
candidate to fill the unexpired term,
no fairer adjustment of the matter can
be proposed, A settlement such as
these gentlemen say they are willing
to submit to, will be the very fairest
method disposing of the question. Let
us hear from Clark.

Never in the history Of the Dem
Ocratic party, was it so necessary
for a true Democrat to stand by
his colOrs. The era of financial
depression and the day of strikes
and mob violence-Only the light
mate outcome Of the Republican
party-because they have fallen in
a time when the Democrats are in
power, is no reason for a true man
to waver in the faith. We are
only reaping the whirlwind Of dis
aster that thinking men have pre-
dicted from the wild sowing Of the
Republican party, while it was in
power. Vote the ticket straight
from Congressman down to Con,
stable.

The leaders of the different labor

ney General Olney.
Mr.. Benedict is beginning to
make new appointments in the
Government Printing Office, but
general reorganization of the Office
will not be made until Congress
adjourns, when he will arrange the
office on solid working basis.
1t seems that Congress will not
pass new printing office bill this
session. The Government certainly
needs a new building for its great
printing works and it behooves
Congress to get move on itself
and give us one. The present
building is unsafe and looks more
like an old prison than Governi
ment building, holding 5000 people.
The bill asking for $4,000 to be
appropriated for public building
at Mt Sterling has been reported
favorably.
