were several other bills providing for
the same thing, 1T was his bill for the
repeal OF the Federal election laws
that was reported. passed, and which
became a law. Another compliment
has just been paid the skill of Tucker
by the House Committee on the cleo
ton of President and Vice-President,
and Representatives in Congress, which
selected his joint resolution providing
for constitutional amendment for the
election of Senators by direct vote of
the people. although there were sew
eral others of similar nature before
the comm ittee, to be favorably re-
ported to the House.
The House has been working faith
fully on the regular annual appropria-
tion bills. and it has been making
good record, both in the quantity of
business done and in the amount OF
money appropriated. Every appro-
priation has been reduced materially.

I SHEEP HUsBANDRY.
Il Sheep husbaadry for market has
never claimed the attention of our

wool and mutton. These sheep run
through the woods at large and re-
cieved no attention from their own
ers, except to salt them and clip the
wool from them. AS to feed, they
made their own living or the COM

grow thick and are never exhausted
by heat, drouth, or the many thous.
and stock which feed there. From

VEGETABLE CROP.
During the last four years more
attention has been paid 10 the cult.
vation of vegetables and fruit, and
the result has been SO satisfactory
that there appears great disposition
to largely develop this branch Of
industry. The cultivation of Irish
potatoes is drawing attention as two
clops can be raised in one year
first crop can be planted as early as
December and February and mature
in May and June and plant agaln in
June and July for tall crop. Early
vegetables are shipped from an adj
joining county to this 10 the ner-
thern markets and the producers re-
aize from $50 to 100 per acre. Wild
fruits in abundance berries,
black berries by tho million, grapes
persimmons and many others.
COTTON AND CORN.
The great error OF the people 0. this
county is they raise too much corn ard
cotton. Cotton was at one time king
and those who pruouced the fieecT sta
pie owned large bodies OF land and
droves Of mules and negroes ard were
called planters; and the custom OF The
country was cotton anc all southern
farmers and their hands were educate

feecy staple and still banker after this
one crop. There are large bodies oi
land now lyllg idle that were once
yielding the owners a large profit and
some of them have not been cultivated
for the last thirtv years.

Manufactured Dizziness.

Notwithstanding the undeserved pro-
lection it has received from both par
ties in the past and the special favors
still granted it by Democracy, the
Sugar Trust has soured so lately that
it has thrown 1000 men out of en-
ployment for political effect. If it
were not for the danger of bankruptcy
many other specially protected indus
tries from Maine to California would
do the same, because of the danger
ahead of them. Wherever, like the
sugar industry, they can easily afford
to close up for few months preceding
the election, they will be very apt to
do SO. Now just watch them. If
they cannot have special favors with
Democracy they are very apt to be-
come Republicans, no matter whether
their monopolies are carried on in the
north or in the south. What they
want and what they are bound to have
and just as long as the deluded people
will allow it, is special governmental
laVor ana consequent monopoly IN
their particular lines of trade or manu-
facture.
The Sugar Trust can well afford to
dismiss its employees to the very last
man if by the distress thus engendered
they can helf the friends of high pro.
lection and high sugar bounties back
L IL
fully said of every other highly pro.
tected industry in this country. Not
withstanding their great wealth and
consequent arrogance there is danger
Of the curtailment of their dividends
in case of Democratic success, and
universal distress is far preferable with
them. And no doubt it will be stronger
than their weak political argument /;
hence let us look for dullness of busl-
ness so far as the high protectionist
can make it dull for political effect.

Mr.. Singerly's Acceptance.

On Saturday, September 27, at the
Lafayette Hotel, Philadelphia, the
Democratic State nominees were Of
ficially informed, by Hon. W. u. Hen
sci, permanent chairman of the late
Democratic State Convention, of their
respective nominations. All the nom
inees we're present. Col. William M.
Singerly, the nominee for Governor,
spoke as follows:
On behalf Of my colleagues and for
myself l beg to say that the honor
done us by the Democracy Of Pennsyl-
vania in naming us their candidates
for the State ticket, and the kind
terms in which you have given us for
NAL notice Of their action, are duly
appreciated.
We accept the nominations and in
dorse the platform approved by the
convention. Tariff reform, honest
money, frugal, federal, state and muni.
cipal government are aims worth fight
ing for. When we shall be able to
divorce politics from business so as to
let the people do their own banking,
trading, carrying and manufacturing,
precisely as we allow them 10 do their
own farming, without meddlesome dis.
elimination for or against any special
interest, and only restricted by such
few general laws as are necessary for
tie public safety and welfare there
will be return of settled prosperity.
The people can take care of them.
selves. Legislation which promotes
capitalistic aggregations, syndicates,
trusts and political combinations for
the purpose of plunder, promotes
counter organizations of the plundered,
and disorganizes society. A resump.
ton of simpler Jeffersonian methods,
in which nothing shall be undertaken
by the Government which may be &C.
complished by individual exertion,
should be the basis of Democratic
effort. To this end let us unitedly
strive. When the fathers declared
the people were capable Of self govern.
