Electoral sheep. In 1884 they organized
the National Improved Saxony Sheep
Breeders association and issued their
fisrt register. There were scarcely more
than l, 100 of this breed entitled to
place in the book of record. 'sThe aim
has been to breed a large, well formed,

quote from their book: by long per-

great regularity lambs Of the highest
order, both in regard to fleece and

to get up boom, to use the favorite

that the few breeders who remain stead

sheep business and expect to continue &c
improve their fiocks as long as they
live. The fleeces find a special demand
and at high prices, which justifies the
raising, and when they put their weth'

prices. Nor are the weights by any
means inconsiderable as compared with
other breeds of sheep. Whether in the
course of time, as the evolutions of agri
culture and sheep husbandry go ON, the
Saxony sheep will be extensively dis
seminated remains to be seen. This

WHEN RoeuEs FALL OUT.
Democratic Party Secrets Are Being Made
Public at Wonderful Speed.


Public at Wonderful Speed.
The following is interesting, coming
from the lips of Boss German of Mary
land and Reformer Mills of Texas, mem
bers of the Democratic steering commit
tee in 1884 and 1899:
Mr.. Gorman-Let us 90 back, how
ever, to 1884, when President Cleve-
land was first nominated and then elect
ed by the grace of God and great deal
of hard work by people whom it is not
necessary to describe daughter That
platform declared not for free raw ma
terials, but for fair revenue duty. Mr..
Cleveland came into power on that plat
form. He sent his celebrated message Of
December, 1887, to congress recon-
mending a revision of the tariff. He
talked of free wool, but show me sim
gle sentence in that message in regard
to coal or iron or any general declara-
ton as to free raw material all around.
1t was not in the message, and it was
not even in the report of the head of the
treasury department. 1t cannot be found,
and the distinguished senator from
Texas Mr. Mills), who is known to be
as thorough and radical a tariff re-
former as exists, who is manly and out
spoken about 1t, who framed the bill in
response to the presidents message, put
tax ON coal at rs cents ton, tax on
iron ore and tax ON sugar.
II was in just precisely the same stu
alton l am today" interrupted Mr..
Mills, land in which the majority on
this side of the chamber are today. l
was in the hands of half dozen gen
tlemen who controlled that measure. It
was not my choice to put iron ore or
coal on the taxable list, though the SEN
ator charges me with making that bill. "
Mr.. Gorman-Mr. President, the SEN
ator from Texas and l have not been
very intimately associated upon these
matters, but think he knows me well
enough to know that do not intend to
do him an injustice. am only giving

When you are starting out on Jour-

bottle Of tea should accompany you.
Tea Is one of the best things in the
world to put In drinking water to i'm

of change In water, which affects some
people seriously. Take quarter of a

the liquid IN bottle, put glass stop

water you drink. If you desire iced tea
to drink with your lunch, you have only
to put two or three tablespoonfuls OF

pure and healthy drink. II is said that
the reason the Chinese drink so much

The battle between the senate of the

ominously dark for many days, and yet

relentless fury that startled the ttmid
and made even the strongest stand
aghast Never before has such deltb-
crate charge of double dealing and du-
plicity been laid at the door Of presi-
dent as has been placed before Mr..
Cleveland. Not alone Senator German,
but three corroborating witnesses

resulted In the passage of the tariff bill,
but had also countenanoed the very

AS TO the quarrel between Mr.. Cleve-

and should by all means go on, but as
to the charge of duplicity against the
president, which seems to be oonclu-

treading the pathway his party has fol-
lowed for generation? Has not that

LOCAL TARIFF INTEREST.
Democrats Want Reform, but They Want
1t For the Other Fellow.

Democrats Want reform, out Ahey VAIN
1t For the Other Fellow.
If General Hancock is looking down
from the battlements of that secure
fortress, where all good soldiers go,
today, he must be interested and I'M
pressed to observe that the Democratic
party has at last found out that he was
right when he said, 1.-THE tariff is a
local question +" The Democratic party
permitted him to be defeated because he
made that statement, but that 1t was AN
absolutely truthful one is shown by the
condition of the Democratic party and
its proposed tariff reform today. A
Democratic president, elected by free
trade platform, pledged to radical tariff
reform, has now been in the White
House nearly II months, with power to
call together a congress Democratic In
both branches. After five months of
delay he did call that congress together,
and 1t has now been in session almost a
year, but without the enactment OF a
tariff law. The reason that 1t has failed
upon itself and distress to the country
! is because of that very truth which
General Hancock uttered, and for which
the Democratic party gibbeted him,
when he said, 1.-The tariff is local
question. The delay in the tariff work
of this congress and administration
pledged to tariff reform Is because every
representative and every senator was
struggling to get protection for his own
people and to put the free trade prom
ised in the Democratic platform upon
some other fellows people. The result
has been wrangle within the DEM
ooratio party which threatens to abso-
lutely destroy it. and, what is far worse
than that, business uncertainty, business
depression, lack of employment strikes,
/ suffering, starvation. Truly the tariff
/ is a local question, but everybody
wants 1t, and thus, while local to
every man, it becomes general and ma
tional, and the party which attempts to
eliminate it from the system of our gov
eminent produces dissatisfaction in ev
cry individual, hence disorder and the
direful results with which this country
has been cursed ever since the election
Of 1892 gave promise of free trade tar
if, which the Democratic party has
found itself unable to put into execu-
