Opposition to His Reformation.
LANCASTER, Pa April 17.-There is
developing in this section a very strong
opposition to James Donald Cameron
for re election to the United States
Senate.
w. S. Scott, a Cameron man, was a
candidate for nomination for State
Senator in the northern district of this
county. but found the anti Cameron
sentiment SO strong that he withdrew.
This left in the field Q. @. Kaufman
and J.. A. Stober. Both declared Oppo-
sition to Cameron, but as Kaufman
was the stronger in his declarations Of
opposition, he was nominated at the
primary by a majority of LOCO to 1000.
The nomination is equivalent to cleo
ton.

If a sheet of paper, on which a

minutes in the sunshine, be then in

kew will be visible. Let this paper be
laid aside for many months where
nothing can disturb it, and then IN
darkness be laid on plate OF hot met

minds. Every man we meet, every

These traces, which under ordinary

The Labor AgitatOr in Clover.

When Prendergast shot Garter Har-
risoD, the popular mayor of Chicago,
he merely fired a signal gun that
aroused and made active the great
number of cranks all over the United
States. Now Coxey has charmed the
tramps into new phase of life. All
over the country tramp conventions
are discussing "ways and means" of
getting the thrifty part of the COM
munity to recognize their right to re-
ceive butter on the bread of charity,
and meat in the sandwiches of adver-
sity. Then comes another phase of
the affair. The coal miners who are
poorly paid on account of the exces-
sive immigration from Europe, have
been reduced so low by the hard
shines that they cannot live according
to their standard, and now they have
struck, hoping by making times worse
to get better pay. Now is the time
when the labor agitator gets the
glory. He travels from city to city,
lodging at fashionable hotels. He
handles the funds furnished by SYM
pathizing organizations. He hints
at possible violence if capital shall
recognize the rights of labor, and,
when the line is finally broken and
and the State takes hand, he says he
"counselled moderation" and "tried to
restrain the men," The whole trouble
at present is that demagogues, often
very bright men, by showing passion
in their speeches and indulging in
empty talk on the betterment of the
race can blind the eyes of thousands
of people and gain for themselves
power and riches which they never
share with the mob.

off till tomorrow what should be done

finger rings.
The "cigarette boy" who spends
his money on what pollutes his breath
and will undermine his health.

The boy who sips beer and wine.
He will soon go on to whiskey and

A Festive Clam.

The clam is a self propagation. 1t
is not found in pairs. 1t burrows in
sandy bottom, forms breathing
hole" and upon the circular edge OF
this hole casts its spawn. The spawn
deposit of each clam produces from Is
to 20 CLAIMS. By natures transporta-
tion to suitable bottom, each clam
burrows, casts its spawn and thus not
ural growth beds develope and enlarge.
The transported clam becomes the
progenitOr of new and extended natur-
al growths. The clam spawns twice
each year, and produces one marketa-
bic crop each year. The oysters must
have three years for producing Il crop.
OF the power of the natural clam
growth lifelong clammer states A.:
''Take one bushel of small CLAIMS the
size OF thumb nail and lay them on
sandy bottom. In one year this one
will give six bushele of count or mar
ketable CLANS; one bushes OF oysters
yield but two" The natural growth
clam-bed can be fished continuously
and all the year around when wind
weather permit. The tongs used are
an inch and quarter between the
the teeth. Each clam with less diane
ter falls through or are cast overheard.
Hence seeding goes on by natural pro
cess. AS food it may be eaten every
month in the year.
Fish commissioner Blackford in q
report on "Oyster Inve stigation, >"
made in 1887, says: CLAIMS show vari-
alton in composition, but the total
amount of nutritive material is little
larger than the oyster" Thus an ex-
pert confirms a common remark
among bayman: "For a hard davs
work give me CLAIMS to eat" Upon

SHELTON MASON COUNTY, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY JUNE1 1894
Moses Scott Resurrected.

Moses Scott is not legally dead,-so
says the Supreme Court of the United
States, and the decision of the lower
Courts, depriving him of certain pro-
perty, has been reversed. The circum
stances Of the case, as given in the
Olymplan, are as follows:
Scott left Olympia in the year 1881.
and as nothing was heard of him he
was believed to be dead. In the
Thurston county probate court there
was not sufficient evidence to show
that Scott was living and letters of
administration were issued. This
simply strengthened the belief that
Moses was dead, but when he alighted
from a train and surprised the people
OF this city about two years ago, he
was certainly a very healthy looking
corpse. He naturally looked into the
condition OF his property and was
somewhat chagrined to find that he
had none; that it had been sold and
somebody else was enjoying its bene-
fits. Mr.. Scott Immediately placed
his affairs in the hands of Judge POr-
ter, who brought suit in eiectment VS..
Neal, who had come into possession of
50 acres belonging to Scott, near
Black lake. When Scott wanted to
testify, Judge Robinson held that,
following the action of the probate
court. he was, as matter of fact,
dead, and had been away sufficient
time to raise that presumption. His
testimony was not admitted.
Scott then appealed to the supreme
court but was defeated and thereupon
Judge Porter took the case to the
United States supreme court on the
constitutional question that Scott
was being deprived of his property
without due process OF law. For
nearly a year Scott has been waiting
iii this city to have the law determine
his condition, and was the subject of
great deal of amusing criticism, as
dead man. He left for California
few days since, without learning of
his resurrection. He has gone to
Merced, where he has valuable fruit
farm and other property.

commercial traveller was asked what
the influence was that made men of
different political opinions-why they
couldn't all belong to one patty. He
said: "That's hard question, but I
think | know the cause, it is the heat.
You see, in Dakota and Maine and
Minnesota, where there if severe cold
weather the Republicans are in the
majority; then you come southwark
to Indiana, Illinois and Virginia and
there are more democrats; then go
to Missouri, Texas, Alabama and Flor
ida, where the weather is everlastingly
hot, and you find big democratic
majority; go on down to h-ll and it's
unanimous. ."-TacOma Morning Union.

GOVERNOR BROWN TO RUN
Says He Will BE ~ Candidate To
Succeed Himself.

Governor Brown is lin it," He
himself is authority for the statement.
The question which the politicians
have been asking one another ever
since the adjournment of the Legis-
lature, will Frank Brown be can
didate to succeed himself?" is finally
answered. and in the affirmative.
Last Wednesday evening the rumor
so frequently alluded TO in these col
umns that Governor Brown would
again run for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Chief Executive Of Maryland
was renewed down town and discussed
with deal of interest. especially
among politicians. who had concluded
that when his Excellency recently as
cepted the presidency of the Traction
Company that he intended to gradu-
ally withdraw from politics and turn
his attention entirely toward a bust
ness career.
This supposition made the rumor
the more interesting, and IT was
talked over pro and con with zest and
not little concern.
A Morning Herald reporter found
the Governor at the Hotel Rennert
and put the question squarely to him ::
lis it true, Governor, that you will
be candidate for denomination next
year y
Yes" was the prompt reply; " it Is.

Inside the last "a hours. though
nv friends throughout Maryland
have pressed me to come TO this de-
cision for some time; in fact. they
did so several months ago. Now that
| have decided deem it proper that
they should know the fact, as well as
that the party should also learn my
position. Hence, | have no hesitancy
in admitting the truth of the report"
"On what grounds will you make
your campaign? ?" inquired the report
er. will il be like your former can
vass -
Il have not thought much of de-
tails" said the Governor, but having
conclrded to he candidate, |, of
course. expect to invoke all possible
influence to attain nomination, and
my course will he shaped in great
degree by conditions arising as time
goes on.
What do Senator German and Mr..
Rasin think of your determination to
again be a candidate,"
Il don't know. for have not con-
ferred with any Of the political lead
er>. In fact. did not tell anyone
what | intended to do until to-day.
Then. my mind being made up. l
told friends whom ! met OF my de-
cis:on."
This was all the Governor had to
say in regard to his candidacy.
What he did say he uttered in his
usual imperturbable manner. The
contest for the Governorship does not
begin until the summer of 1895.

Onions for the Nerves.

Onions are kind of all round good
medicine and every housewife knows
this without exactly knowing the reason
why. She knows that whole onion.
eaten at bedtime, will by the next
morning break the severe cold. She
also knows that onions make good
plaster to remove inflammation and
hoarseness. If anyone will take an
onion and mash it, so as to secure all
the juice in it, he will have a most re-
markable smelling substance that will
quiet the most nervous person in no
time. The strength of it inhaled for a
few moments will dull the sense Of
smell and weaken the nerves until
sleep is produced from sheer exhaus-
ton. 1t all comes from one property
possessed by the onion and that is a
form of opium.-Ex.

AGRICULTURAL EXPERI-
MENT.

From the baltimore Herald.
While the most unusual depression
hangs over the agricultural industry
there comes word from Alabama of an
experiment in that state which proves
that the adaptation of means to ends.
even now. will make farming profit.
able. The details of the experiment
are given by the Memphia Amianehe-
appeal, and the account states that
the farm is located in the vicinity of
Sycamore.
The farm in question contains 5000
acres. owned by two brothers, and
operated by 81 white men. not sin
gle negro being employed upon the
whole track. There are something
like 60 families upon this farm, aud
IL is in some sense cooperative, self
supporting establishment. On this
farm is raised all the food crops that
are required for feeding the people
and the animals of the plantation
Beet. mutton. pork and fish are raised
by the little community, and persons
are entrusted with the work OF caring
for the cattle and stocking the fish
ponds.
Cotton, however is the chief crop,
and mill has been erected on the
plantation At cost of 8 $4,000, which
works up all the cotton grown on the
place and some besides. The mill
simply makes yarn, and the machinery
employed in running the cotton mill
also turns mills for grinding the cot.
ton seed and extracting the oil. Other
shops about the place are 50 arranged
as to make all necessary repairs. aud,
recently grist mill has been added to
the plant for grinding provender and
-four which is of sufficient capacy to
provide the community with these
articles.
The chief point in this experiment
is that as little as possible is spent
in the way of buying materials from
the outside, and the industries of the
farm all point to the profitable and
extensive production of cotton yarn
in the mill. Here is the source Of
profit, and all through the hard
times of the last three years the plan
tation has produced sufficient for its
needs, leaving the workmen, proprie-
tors and all concerned with abundant
revenue for their needs and comforts.
The experiment is valuable, as il
illustrates the practicability Of an
intelligent and profitable investment
in agricultural industries.
