FENCING IN WINTER.

There is often plenty of time, after
the so-called fall work is completed,
to do good deal that is usually left
till spring. The fence can be looked
over and repaired. Posts can be set
to much better advantage than in the
spring, as the soil is in better condi-
tion for such work. II pays to see 70
the fences. If neglected, they will
soon fall into delapidated condition
which it will require a good deal of
time to bring them out of. And n
brokcn-down fence is disgrace to
any farm, and a standing reflection
against the owner of it. One reason
why so many shabby fences are seen
is that the work of repairing them is
left till spring, and then there seems
to be no time for such work. Do it
while there is leisure, and you will be
more likely to do good work. i Amer

SILVER.

Washington dispatch anticipates
trouble for the Republican party over
differences on the silver question. The
Republicans in several States are divided
on the free silver proposition, and as vet
n proposition looking to an approach TO
bmetallism in any other way has as
sumed tangible form. There are some out
and-out gold men in both parties in New
York and other Atlantic States, but the
weight of opinion among Republicans is
TO policy which holds the United States
in inaction until the principal European
countries become convinced that the gold
standard is a menace TO the stability of
credit. All the public debts and all the
private debts in the world except what
silver nations owe each other are payable
In gold. and there is somewhat general
apprehension that any disturbance that
creates a demand fox gold will bring on
suspension of specie payments. But the
Democratic party no less than the Re-
publican is confronted with this silver
issue. The differences between members
of that party are as wide as the differences
between Republicans. In neither par y
have the silver men brought forward any
other solution of the question than the free

THE OLD STORY.

Hard times in Australia have induced
the people 10 change their tariff policy.
A succession of dry years has in other
countries done like thing An observ-
ant politician who was over.aken In a
campaign town by vigorous and pro-
longed rainstorm succumbed in the third
day Of the storm to severe cold. He
became so hoarse he could not speak. He
was depending upon bad crops and hard
times for su- cess, and the rain ruined his
prospects. Some years ago Australia was
Overtaken by financial crisis. She had
borrowed heavily for public improvements,
and the appreciation in gold, in which
metal her debts were payable, caused the
debt 10 be too burdensome. The banks
scaled their credit, accepting less than
was due and waiting for the residue But
Cnder the load and the steady apprecia-
lion of gold improvement was slow.
Looking around for cause Of hard times,
the eyes of the people fell upon the pra-
tective policy. They could not explain in
what way the protective policy was doing
harm, but as harm was being done the
protective policy was made the scapegoat.

TOURISTS AND OTHERS.

A very readable weekly contemporary
which makes both high aud low politics
subordinate to the discharge of the duties
as a chrOnicler of social events is grievsd
over the nomination of Mr.. Willard TO be
Lieutenant-Governor. One objection to Mr..
Willard is his YOUTH he is not yet forty !;
another is his atrocious disregard of pro-
prieties in permit Ing himself TO have been
born in Kansas. II it could be clearly es.
tablished that Mr.. Willard had the choice
between California aud Kansas as a place
OF birth and chose the latter. there could
be nothing said in his defense. But as
matters stand, Mr.. Willard does not seem
to be a greater offender than the gentleman
from Iowa VINO is supposed to be political
editor of our viyacious contemporary. 1t
Is true that the gentleman from Iowa is
not at present IA candidate for an elective
Office. the reason being doubtless that he
had more confidence in the judgment Of
President Cleveland than in that of the
voters of California.

WOOL MARKETS.

A free-trade contemporary congratu-
lates its readers on the London intelli-
gence that the price of raw wool is i'm
proving 10 that market. But it is not ex-
planned how higher price for Australian
wool in the London market is TO benefit
the American wool-grOwer. London prices
have always been determined under free
trade conditions. Australia. Argentina
and all other wool-gro owing countries can
send their wool to the London market
without paying duties. But an American
tariff has kelt the Amer can lrce lor
wool above the London quotation. Prac-
tcally all our wool has of late years been
consumed at home. The removal of the
duties will open our market TO foreign
wOOl-grOwerS, but will not open foreign
markets 10 our wool until Our prices have
fallen 10 the London rate. OF course,
rise in the London price will help bring
the markets 10 level. But in the futar,
to sell wool the American grower must

A POPULAR CONVENTION.

A CONTEMPORARY from which Colonel
Dan Burns derives one-half Of his news
paper support-the EUeRillG Post consti-
tuiing the other halt-does not like Nom
Partisan methods for the reason that the
Nom Partisan nominating body will not be
so large as the Burns nominating body.
There might perhaps have been some
force 10 this objection If it had been urged
before the Burns primaries we're held.
But in view Of the fact that the columns
of our contemporary do not show the cleo
ton of a single delegate TO the Republican
convention who was not nominated by
the Burns County Committee, the leaning
for popular convention on the part of the
Burns organ is a little absurd. The Non
Partisan convention will be somewhat
smaller than that of The Burns conven-
tioD, but every man In it will own him
self The advantages of popular con-
ventiOn disappear when such convention
meets TO record the will of one man.

FAILURES OF BOSSES.

While the adroitneSs of such political
bosses as Christopher A. Buckley and
Colonel Dan Burns is sometimes wondered
at there is certain low level in the game
of politics which they never rise above.
An example is found in the nomination of
James for Mayor over Denman. The lat
ter was not only the logical candidate for
Mayor, but his nomination by a conven-
ton controlled by Buckley would have
retained within the party thousands Of
voters who will now 90 to the Non-Parti-
sans. Mr.. Denman's nomination would
not only have given decent Democrats a
hope. but it would have been An intima alton
that so far as Buckley was concerned per-
sonal animOsities would lot be permitted
to stand in the way Of the success of the
party. A boss who has enemies to punish
in his own party is an unsafe guide.
Leaders of men are often arbitrary, DOM
iueering and intolerant of opposition.
They require absolute submission. They
cannot always explain the reasons that i'm
pei them to the course they adont They
expect their followers to have implicit con-
fidence in their judgment and integrity.
But there are periods when Cancellation is
an element of strength. When the Demo-
cratic convention met Boss Buckley was
on the eve Of one of these periods. de
had won the convention, but not the peo-
pie. With the public at large he stands
no better now than when he started on his
European trip In search of health. Hay-
ing the convention it should have been his
aim to call back to the party as many as
possible Of the men whom his former rule
had driven away. MIR. Denman, as the
real leader Of the better class of Demo-
Gratis, gave Buckley bis chance. He be-
came candidate in the Democratic con-
vention on the assumption that he would
have fair show. But Buckley could not
forgive Denman for the agency of the lat
ter in subjecting him to the scrutiny of a
Grand Jury. OF course there are other
agencies which contributed to Denman's
defeat. The corporations which so
promptly lifted Buckley to his feet in
sisted on the sacrifice of Denman as they
Will insist upon the sacrifice of every man
who will not be subservient to them. Un-
der present conditions there Is but one
place for man of James Denman's char
acter. That place is in the councils of the
Non-Partisans. The aims and purposes
OF the NoD-Partisans and of Denman are
Identical. But in boss-ridden party Mr..
DeBman is powerless. The corporations
he has temporarily defeated concentrate
their force to drive such men from public
life. But the corporations voice is not
heard in Non-Partisan councils. Their
attorneys are busy with the two national
party conventions.
