MAKE sCRAP BOOKs.

Every farmer. in fact every house
keeper, should make scrap-oookSs.
These should be classified. One snoula
be devoted to veterinary recipes. Such
a scrap-book would in a very few
years be worth all the morse books
ever printed for practical use, or farm
encyclopedias. One should be horticul-
tural, another on Horticulture, and, one
especially large. on general agricul-
turaI information. You will be sur
prised how often you would consult
them. Of course, one should not scis-
sor indiscriminately. Our best judg-
ment should be exercised. Occasionally
lengthy articles should be preserved.
Any old patent office report makes a
good book for scraps. This is, think.
a better way to preserve what is Of
permanent value in our farm journals
than to purchase and use binders.
There is of necessity always muc4 in
every such journal of only trancient
worth. Make scrap-books!

An English View.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The Times this
morning has a column editorial dis
eussing the result for Cuba of u sue
cessful Instruction or a voluntary
grant of home rule. The article says:
"Of course, If either led to ultimate
annexation by the United States. then
good government and progress
might be expected. But difficulties of
more than one order might stand in
the way of ISOLATION, even If the
United States were prepared to admit
the island, with it's large colored popu-
lation, to the union, The negro prob
lem is one of the NOSE serious which
the great republic has to face. She is
not likely to aggravate it by a volun-
tary action, save for very exceptional
reasons"

ALTGELD AT 1T.
He Makes an Attack Upon the Enc
my Corruption.

CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 18.-Governor
Altgeld of Illinois created a sensation
at the monument dedication, the con-
clusion of his speech being as follows:
Instead of an armed force that we
can meet on the open field there is to-
day an enemy that is invisible, but
everywhere at work, destroying our
institutions. That enemy is corruption.
1t seeks to direct official action, it die
tates legislation and endeavors to con-
troll the construction of the laws. It
seeks to control the press, to set fash
ions, and shape public sentiment; it has
emasculated American politics and
places it on the low plane of jugglery.
The tendency now is for present parties
to shake principle and follow expedi-
ency and their platforms are often
drawn to eVade or straddle every live
issue. The idea is now to cajole rather
than convince, to ignore great wrongs
and wink at abuses, to court the sup
port of conflicting interests, though it
involves the deception of one or both.
We are substituting office seeking and
office holding in place of real achieve
ment, and instead Of great careers in
public life we are facing "a harvest of
slippery, blear-eyed and empty medi-
ocrity, which glides into oblivion with
out the assistance of. death
ITO be an eligible candidate for Office
now often means to stand for nothing in
particular and to represent no definite
principle, but all things to ali men, and
In the end to be contemplate. Thirty
four years ago the call was for men 10
fight an open enemy in the field Today
our country is calling for men who will
be true to republican institutions at home
Never before did this republic call so
loudly as it does today for a sturdy, for
a strong sturdy manhood that will stand
up in dehantly and dare to do right
Men of the Past.
For more than a decade the tendency
in this country has been toward a color
less and negative dillettanteism, having
the countenance of the Pharisee with the
greed of the wolf, and drawing all its
inspirations from the altar of concen-
trated and corrupting wealth.
1.-THE flag has been praised at cham
payne dinners while the very pole from
which it f1oated was being eaten off by
corruption and republican institutions
were being stabbed to the vitals new
gospel has come among u.s. according to
which it is mean to rob a hen roost of
a hen, but plundering thousands make us
gentlemen.
my friends, .the men of the past did
their duty. Shall we do ours? They were
asked to face death You may have to
face calumny and obloquy. No man
ever served his country without being
viliified, for all who make a profit of in
justice will be your enemies. But as
sure as the heavens are high and Justice
is eternal you will triumph in the end .

GOLD COMES IN.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The treas
ury department today received by ex-
press 100000 in gold coin from the
Peoples National bank at Pittsburg,
in exchange of notes of So, $40 and $40
denominations, without condition as to
expressage or character of the notes
other than stated. Considerable gains
were also made in New York and else
where, so that if there are no with
drawals will likely show a gain of
about $500 With the addition of
the 100000 received from Pittsburg to-
day, the reserve is $95, 556,954.

EVE of BATTLE.

TRENTON, N. J., Sept. 1S.-The eve
of the Republican state convention
finds the corridors of the Trenton
House thronged with delegates and
different candidates. General Sewell.
of the Republican state committee, and
all the candidates for governor except
Senator Rogers have opened head
quarters. The situation is very much
mixed. A fair estimate would seem to
give Griggs for governor 800 votes on
the first ballot; Kean, $40; Ward, 1853,
VOORHEES,. 65; Rogers, 65. To nominate
422 are necessary.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-A meeting of
the Republican county central COM
mittee was held at the Great North
ern hotel last night for the purpose OF
choosing a chairman. For some time
there has been friction between the
politicians supporting the admlnlstra-
ton of Mayor Swift, and some others
who are against him. Incidental to
the work of choosing the, chairman, 1t
was intended that the factions should
"get together in harmony.
They got, together all right, but not
after the fashion outlined in the pro-
gramme.
There We're fights without number,
broken heads and bloody noses, and
the meeting generally was character
lied by the widest disorder.
Event No. 1.
The first fight of the evening oc-
CURED when Deputy Sheriff F. M.
Goodman, of the anti-Swift faction, at
tempted to force his way into the room
against the wishes of Buck Mccarthy,
a Swift man. Mccarthy landed on
Goodman's nose, broke it in two places.
dashed out five of Goodman's teeth
and knocked him senseless. He was
carried away by his friends.
Detective Sergeant Gard, who was in
the room, made an attempt to control
the actions of County Clerk James II.
VapCleave, and the second battle of
the evening was on. VanCleave OBJ
jected to the officers interference and
promptly received a crack over the
Uranium from the officers stick. This
aroused VanCleave's friends and a
wild r11ch wa INC n q for Gard OOa man
Selling him by the neck, others by
the arms and legs, and he was carried
bodily from the ROOM every anti-Swift
man within reach taking a good hard
Whack at him. AS Gard was deposited
in the hall, Alderman Henry hammers
man manoeuVred to his rear and plan
ted a vigorous kick. Another rush was
made for Gard and he was thrown bod
lily out of the hallway, free fight be-
ing in progress while he made his
forced exit.
Several More.
Commissioner of Public Works Kent
was standing in the committeeman
when this fight came off and the as
sertion was at once made by the anti
Swift element that he had brought the
police there to coerce the action of
the committee. Loud cries were heard
of, Throw Kent out!" Hang him."
Throw him out of the window" A
rush was made in this direction and,
being near a doorway, the commits
sioner lost no time in making his es-
cape, leaving behind him a full-blown
fight between his friends, anxious to
protect him, and the crowd of anti
Swift men,. desiroas Of getting al him.
Several more fights. occurred during
the meeting, which finally adjourned
without result save the appointment of
a harmony committee which will
endeavor to reconcile the two factions.

all of Sunday night the water at vi

day morning the river seemed to be al
most stationary. Later In the AFTER
noon, however, the river took sudGen
squirt, aud rose from 3 feet TO feet
inches In q few hours, and at last
reports was still rising, with a re-
ported probability OF 10 feet This
appeared to indicate that the rainfall was
heaviest far up the Allegheny on the
borders OF New York, and that the
water only reached the town named late
in the dav, but later it was explained
the rise was caused by an ice
gorge. The rise in the Allegheny
will probably come too late to have
much effect upon the flood either at
PittsbuIg or Wheeling, a circumstance
for which we should be truly thankful.
Had both the upper rivers come out to-
gether, the result would have been dis
astrous, indeed.
THE DOUBLE FREsHET" OF FEBRUARY,

A gentleman furnishes the Register
the following data concerning the "dou-
bic freshet" of February, 1888:
The rainstorm from Indiana and Ohio
reached the Allegheny headwaters Feb
ruary Sd. II rained in Wheeling and
west of us On the Sd and 4th. On the
9th it rained hard here and east OF US,
on the Monongahela headwaters. II
both the Allegheny and Monongahela

same time. we would probably have had
4s feet of water This food is an un-
usually valuable one for comparison,
and is here tabulated for reference:
