ABOUT HARD TIMES.

Why Some Farmers Have Hard Time
to Get Along.
A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph gives his opinion Of the diff
fcultv with many farmers in his end Of
the country as to why farmers have
hard time to get along, and it is worth
a careful study. His ideas are as fol-
lows:
There IS being so much said in the
country about hard times aud the search

cause and knows a remedy, / thought

I think is the cause. The trouble is
we buy more than we produce. There
is too much -four and bacon shipped
here every year. The things we ought
70 make at home we are buying.
I'VE let our timber rot and buy our
plow stocks, singletrees, ak handles,
hoe handles and fencing.
I'VE throw away our ashes and buy
soap and axle grease
I'VE give away our beef hides and
buy hame strings and shoe strings.
We let our manure 60 to waste and
buy guano.
I'VE buy garden seed in the spring
and cabbage in the wiRter.
We let our lands 60 up in weeds and
buy our broOms.
I'VE let the wax out of our pine and
gum trees go to waste and buy chew
ing-gum for our children.
I've build school houses and hire
teachers and send our children off to be
educated.

The usual treatment af catarrh is
very unsatisfactory, as thousands can
testify. Proper local treatment is pos
itively necessary to success, but many,
if not most, of the remedies in general
use afford but temporary relief. A
cure certainly cannot be expected from
snuffs, powders, douches and washes.
Ely's Cream Balm, which is so highly
commended, is remedy which COM
bines the important requisites of quick
action, specific curative power, with

JOHN u. ROCKEFELLER pears LndG tne
arrangement of DIR. Whitney and the
president. which is alleged to have
taken place some months ago and to
be more or less well known to every
body, was the direct means of bring
ing together the former cabinet officer
and the republican magnates of New
York. These magnates, it is limited,
include Chaunoey n. Depew and the
Vanderbilts MIR. Whitney, it would
appear. agreed to make use of his
democratic influence in a way favor
able to financial scheme in which the
Rockefcllers were interested (for. as is
well known, Mr.. Whitney is the right
hand man of the Standard Oil COM
uany) in return for a suitable favor on
the part of the Vanderbilt interests.
Everything vas working swell until
the Warrington end of the business
was reached. Then the democratic
senator this can be stated on the
highest authority called the attention
Of President Cleveland to the
fact that it seemed that
Mr. Whitney and his people, while
norinaIiy Democratic, were really in
league with individuals of an opposite
political faith to carry out capital
istic scheme.
How Mr.. Whitney was made aware
that his loyalty to democratic policies
was questioned there is no means of
finding out, apparently. But that some
serious things were said OF him to the
president in that connection, and that
his standing as a democrat is very
much below par at present with the in
side leaders. there is not the shadow
of a doubt 1t is even alleged that
there is now in the possession of the
president letter written by one Of
the best known men in this country
charging Mr. Whitney, as democratic
spagnate, with being in partnership
with republican uagnate for the
purpose Of using their respective in
fiilences; In favor Of financial schemea
which they nave a common interest in.
one7of these schemes, it is declared in
the letter above referred to, is the
latest project of the Standard Oil COM
pany.
Tt isa coincidence that Mr.. Whitney
has resigned an Office to which he was
recently elected as a Democrat. 1t is
another coincidence that he and Mr..
Cornelius Vanderbilt have been seen
together Of late by a number of per-
sons. IL would seem to be an even
moro striking coincidence that one of
Mr.. Nhitney's allies should recently
have aocnsed the president of The
united States of going over bodily to
the populists and of having ceased to
be democrat. But there Is one al
most famous man in Washington who
has said over his own signature that it
Is william C. Whitney who has ceased
30 be democrat
The name that figures as the founda-
ton Of ell the hubbub is a new one in
this connection-that of John ID. Rock.

THE TIGER SEES STILL, In question, but
they account for their inactivity by say
ing that there is danger of a revulsion
Of feeling if the tiger is found to be
bounded unfairly. 1t is asserted that
Mr. Croker himself has devised cum
ming plan to allow the Tammany op-
ponents to heap vituperation upon the
tiger to their hearts content in this
preliminary campaign and to make up
for it when the war really begins by
getting the benefit of the revulsion
which he expects will set in. In fact,
II seems that Mr.. Gilroy has written q
letter to some of the sachems warning
them against the folly of meeting at
tacks as they are made but instead to
save ammunition for more desperate
extremities.
But this neat plan Of the Tammany
leaders is being partially frustrated by
the discovery Of the tactics, and hence,
with a few exceptions, there is no
abuse heaped on the tiger by the OPP
ponents of that animal. This will ex-
plain what to some republicans has
seemed queer. 1t is violating no con-
fdence to say that one prominent re-
publican possesses documents very
compromising to two Tammany mag
mates which have not been used until
the securing of confirmatcry facts has
insured them against proving boom
erang.

latest man named is DIR. Stanton Colt.
The Central Labor union and the vari-
Gus organizations of the east side are
much impressed in his favor. and he is
the only aristocrat and man of wealth
who has tried to alleviate the suffering
of New York's poor who has won pop
ularity as well as success in the effort.
1t seems likely that this still young
man will be the commanding figure in
the next great local issue that comes
before the people Of New York. He is
looked upon as a municipal wonder.
He has the turbulent east side at his
command almost, and is in favor with
both leaders and people.
There would be really nothing ex-
traordinary in his making great run.
The present state of things in local
New York politics is SO unique that
were DR.. Stanton Colt to be nominated

than a possibility now, there might
happen things.
