In speaking of the use of machinery
on the farm and the advantage which
the bonanza farmer of the Northwest
has over the small farmer of the Middle
States in being able to perform with
nearly the entire labor of the farm, the
Pittsburgh Dispatch makes this sug-
gestion:
There is no inherent reason why % farmers
owning an average of 200 acres, should not unite
to own and operate all kinds of machinery from
the gang plOw to the thresher on their 5000 acres
as advantageOuSy a single farmer of 5000 acres
does in California or North Dakota. The small
farmers of the Middle States have not realized the
vitality of such cooperation as yet They have
been relieved from the necessity of if by the avail
ability of their land in large proportions for dairy
ing, fruit raising and other diversified forms of
cultivation in which machinery has less import
anee. This has left the Introduction of farm ma
ehinery among the small farms to be on a system
that burdens some farmers with machinery en-
tirely beyond their ability to give it full employ
ment and others with the absence OF necessary
implements of the most modern kind.
But with regard to the vital question whether
the owners of small farms are incapable of the
necessary association that their small holdings
must be wiped out, and they must become the
hborers OF a large proprietor, in order to permit
the economic Introduction of machinery, there is
ro0m for decided dissent The best reason for be-
believing that it can be done is found in the fact
that The work Of association for 81 nilar purposes
has already been successful Appliances for max
ing butter and cheese on a large scale indicated
the need OF association, and farmers have in many
cases united TO conduct cheese factories and
creameries. These lines of business can be car
ried by separate owners, and often are, but the
ability of farmers to successfully cooperate for
the best results in production has been demon
strated in these lines. There is good reason t.
believe when the necessity becomes pressing that
they will demonstrate the same capacity TO deal
with the question of farm machinery in the same
way.
Cooperation presents the method of preserving
the small capitalists in farming operations as
clearly as the creation of the small capitalists in
industrial operations.
In every other line of business there
is cooperation to reduce cost of pro-
duction and why can not farmers CON-
bine in the same way for mutual benefit?
The farmers that change present
methods for something better are the
ones that will succeed while others fail. |

TIE Democrats of the National House

THE Democrats of the National House
of Representatives have at last surren-
dered. Gear" Reeds methods have
triumphed, and hereafter quorum will
be counted when necessary. After
having ransacked the dictionary for
years to find words sufficiently expressive
to denounce Speaker Reed of the Fifty
first Congress, they acknowledge that
he was right and they were wrong.
Their surrender is all the more CALLING
to them when it is considered that the
Democrats themselves are able to muster
sixty more than quorum in the present
House.
The rule of counting a quorum was
introduced by Mr.. Reed as a measure of
necessity, because the Republican ma
jority was small and the Democratic
minority had the power to obstruct
business, and used that power. 1t was
their boast that no business could be
transacted without their consent The
Republicans felt that they were respon-
sible for the record of the House and if
business could not be carried on under
the rules then in force. they would
make rules under which obstructionists
would cut no figure. The quorum
counting rule was thus begotten. The
Democrats repeatedly emptied their
yials of wrath upon Speaker Reed.
They denounced him as despot and a
revolutionist. No epithet was too vile
to apply to Mr.. Reed, and no personal
abuse too discourteous to prevent its
being heaped upon the man from Maine.
Reed never flinehed or faltered. He
steadily pursued his course and in less
than five years has seen his plan adopted
by the very men who so bitterly de-
nounced him. He has been more than
vindicated. The Democrats not only
acknowledge the justice of his rulings,
but go further and admit that they
themselves were demagogues. This de-
cision of the Democratic majority is but
the triumph of common sense, and more
than that, it again demonstrates the off
repeated truth that in any reform the
Republicans always lead.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

New York Tribune.
The two great English-speaking ma
tions have each to contend with deficit.
The deficit disclosed by Sir William
Harcourt in his speech to the British
House of Commons is $22, 100000, while
the United States deficit in nine and a
half months of the present fiscal year
has been $63,000,000, which is at the
rate of $80,000,0O0 for the year. The
Democratic Administration borrowed
$5O,00O,OO0 in February to cover part of
the deficit, and is now urging with des-
perate energy bill to cut off $76,000,-
600 of the present revenue, increasing
the deficit to be made up by other taxes.

amid cheers that it does not propose to

HEApo-s GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
LYNN, MASS, March 8, lsSi- ,
Wednesday, May Both, next, will DE
observed as Memorial Day. Twenty-six
wears ago John A. Logan, Commander
in Chief of the Grand Army of the he-
public. in General Orders No. II, inaugu-
ted Memorial Day. In that General Or-
der we were directed that If other eyes
grow dull, and other hands slack, and
other hearts cold in the solemn trust, we
shall keep it well as long as the light and
warmth of life remains in u.s." His wish
es and instructions have been faithfully
obeyed. and as his successor l call upon
you, my comrades, to again dlscharge
this most solemn duty.
Each year our lines grow shorter here,
while they lengthen on the other side.
We have more graves to decorate and
fewer comrades to discharge the duty.
Realizing this, let us invite all the peo-
pie, especially the Woman's Relief Corps,
Sons of Veterans, and children of the
public schools. to unite with us in the
service. In no better way can we teach
lessons of patriotism and prepare those
who are to take our places for the high
and responsible duties of American citi-
zens.
The Commander in Chief endorses most
heartily the plan that has been very gen.
orally adopted in late years, that of the
attendance of the Posts of our organiza,
ton upon some form of divine worship
the Sabbath preceding Memorial Day
This is beautiful custom, and Posts are
urged to make arrangements for attend
ance upon some such service at least
once on Sunday, May q.
Chaplains of Posts are directed to re-
port to the Chaplain-in-C Chief through the
Department Chaplains, the number of
graves decorated and all matters of inter
est connected with the observance of the
day.
In 1877 the Eleventh Encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic
"Resolved, That the Grand Army of
the Republic seeks to preserve the MEM
ories of those only who fought in de-
fense of the National unity"
And it was further
Resolved, That this day be known as
Nemo1 ial Day."
And it was still further
Resolved, That all flags hoisted on
Memorial Day be at half-mast."

SOUTH CAROLINA's famous liquor law
has been declared unconstitutional by
the State Supreme Court on the ground
that the State has no more right to en-
gage in the sale of liquor than it has to
take charge of and carry on any other
kind of business. This seems like good
reasoning,

nothing very bad. Neither has it done
anything to send the names of its
members down to posterity as models

RULES FoR LADY.-The following
rules of conduct fell out of the pocket
book of young lady, and an unserupu-
lous newspaper reporter picked them up,
says the Paducah Standard:
l. don't let man smoke when he
walks or drives with me. If he knows
no better than to do it, L promptly tell
him what think of it.
2 don't give my photograph to men.
[ used to occasionally, but 1 am wiser
now. l should hate by and by to know
that my face might be hanging up in
Tom, Dick or Harry's room.
8 | don't let man take hold of my
arm when he walks with me. If he
does, l tell him l prefer him to give me
his arm.
+. don't go out with man friend
just because he asks me. l like it bet
ter if he asks another lady to go too
his sister for instance.
). don't let any man "see me home
from church. If he hasn't gumption
enough to take me there and sit through
the services with me, he may stay away
altogether.
6. don't let man friend give me
presents unless it is something of trif-
ling cost, like fruit or flowers. And |
always gage man by his taste in this
respect.
Z. don't encourage any young man
who is not perfectly polite and agree
III =
me sees great deal of her.
s. don't allow caller to stay later
than ten o'clock. If he does not go at
that time, politely tell him my custom.
A REMARKABLE FAN.-One of the
most remarkable fans in Europe is that
possessed by Adelina Patti, which bears
on each of its folds the signature of the
principal rulers of Europe. The czar
has added to his signature the words:
Nothing soothes so much as your sing
ing" while the late Emperor William
wrote: "You are the nightingale of
ages" Queen Christina, of Spain, adds
to her signature the following sentence:
IL TIC opdnlou dIIi, quoou llldt IS
proud to number herself among the SUBJ
jects of the songstress." Queen Henri
eta, of Belgium, expresses her senti-
ments by means of musical characters,
and has written the first bar of the Gel
ebrated Kiss waltz. Queen Victoria
writes: "If King Lear speaks true when
he says that a sweet voice is a costly
gift for a woman, then you, my dear
Adelina, must be the richest of all wom-
en-" The emperor and empress of Aus
tria have merely signed their names,
while on the last fold of the fan is the
sentence: "Queen of Song, l extend to
you my hand" with the signature of
Adolph Thiers. president of the French
republic.

SERVANTS IN 1NDIA.-Domestic life
in India is without the annoyance of
the servant question, says an exchange.
You never need tell a servant what you
want done in that country. They seem
to know it by intuition. The ordinary
household has about twelve servants "a
cook. a waiter, a sort of valet de cham
bre and, if you have two horses, two
groOmS: one man to run before you
when you 60 out riding and take charge
of your horse, another man whose busi-
ness it is to collect for your horses feed
the grass which grows in vine-like
manner upon the roads. Then in sum-
mer you require three or four men who
work the large fans or "punkas" over
you night and day while you are walk
ing and while you are sleeping; then
last, but not least. watchman.
This last institution is peculiar one.
If you did not have him you would be
liable to find something stolen every
night. Strangest of all, the only man
who is successful watchman must be
thief-the caste of a thief. He makes
no pretentions to being anything else,
but as long as yon have him in your en-
ploy nothing will ever be stolen. While
the native Hindoos are very dishonest,
the only way in which to keep your val
utables safe is to give them into their
hands for keeping. If one locks five
hundred dollars in his chest a servant
will steal it; but if the money is given
to servant he would guard it with his
life

A SOLID HOME VIRTUE.
is virtue which is needed everywhere.
No matter if persons are rich or have
large incomes they should be economic
al. To waste is wicked. There are bet
ter ways to spend money and goods
than to waste them. 1t is the poorest
use they can be put to. Many people
would be economical if they knew how.
1t is an art to practise economy. To do
it well one must know the art. All can
have if they will. 1t is an arithmetical
art. 1t is the conclusion of numbers.
All must live and ought to live well.
but how to live best at the least expense
is the work of figures to tell. We must
count the cost of ways and means and
compare them. Many people use ex-
pensive articles of food and dress when
cheaper ones would be in every way bet
ter and more servicable. Especially in
regulating the table expenses is there
a great want of economy. A little use
full information concerning the qualities
of food, the amount and kind of nutri-
ton matter they contain, the wants of
the human system and the best way of
cooking, would often save fully one
third, in many instances, half the ex-
pense. A wise economy in table ex-
penses is favorable to health, and in this
way saves time, drugs, expense, and
doctors bills, flesh, strength, and happi-
ness.

THE breath of a chronic catarrh
patient is often so offensive that he
becomes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets in, the spongy
bones are attacked, and frequently de-
stroyed. A constant source of discom-
fort is the dripping of the purulent
secretions into the throat, sometimes
producing inveterate bronchitis, which
is usually the exciting cause of pulmo-
nary disease The brilliant results by
