The Campaign Of 30.

1t is early yet to predict the candi-
dates or issues of the next presidential
election.
The currency question has assumed
so much importance within the past
two years that it bids fair to over
shadow the tariff in the next cam
paign. The latter may be regarded
as nearer settlement now than at any
time since Cleveland's famous free
trade message. Neither party is fully
satisfied with it, but each has suffered
defeat on account of meddling with it,
and there is general disposition to
let ii alone. II the Republicans get
chance they will probably amend it
somewhat so as to make it produce
more revenue, but will not greatly
change its protective features.
The currency issue is a live one,
however. Both parties are divided on
it, though the Republicans could more
easily unite against free silver than
the Democrats could unite in favor of
it. Both national conventions will
witness bitter struggles on this ques-
ton. Quite likely both parties will
try to preserve their formation by
'sstraddling" the issue. But the peo-
pie may revolt at this and demand
specific declarations.
The Populists will be out-and-out
for free silver, and if theirs is the only
party that so declares they will carry
not few of the western and southern
states.
If the Democrats endorse free silver,
which seems more probable than any
thing except straddle, they cannot
carry an eastern state.
The Republican party has always
been the friend of sound money and
should not hesitate to declare its con-
victions as party on account OF the
rantings of. its small silver faction
from the West.
the contest is to be clearly defined |
between free silver and sound money,
it will be very close. II will be a UNI
ion Of the West and South against |
the North and East But we hardly |
expect to see party lines shift to this
extent before 80. 1t would involve
the elimination of one OF the three
parties, the Democratic, presumably,
as that party isdivided and disgraced.
II the tariff cuts any figure in the next
il will be to the advantage
of the Republicans. There seems no
doubt now that the Demo-
,ratic party will be retired. The only |
apparent way to prevent the return
If the Republicans to power is by a
'usion of Populists and silver Demo-
rats on free silver platform. We
10 not expect to see such a union and
I made we predict it would fail of
success.

ide, Mckinley, Reed, Harrison, Alli-

Some OF our farmers have queer
ideas of the recently enacted tubercu-
losis laws operation. One who lives
in a town near by wrote to member
of the Board of Agriculture stating
that one OF his cows had died about a
week before; that he had hung up the
carcass and hoped that the member
would get around shortly and inspect
it, adding that he supposed the state
would pay him for the COW if the dis
case proved to be tuberculosis. The
law wisely provides that all suspected
animals must be appraised before be-
ing tested and that the Board shall as
sist in such appraisal. One-half this
appraised value is paid the owner in
case the animal proves to be affected.
The Board begins its work under the
law in this neighborhood this week.
1t does not follow, because there
has been decrease in farming popu-
lation within the past few years, that
the business is less rcmunerative to
those now engaged in it than former-
ly. As is the case in almost every
branch of industry, the introduction
Of machinery has lessened the number
of hands necessary to cultivate the
farms. One man and pair of horses
can now do as much work, with the
aid Of farm machines, as eight or ten
men could do without them. The
surplus labor has drifted away into
other channels. The men that remain
are doing well in almost every case
where they are industrious and thrifty.

 Officer Cooper of station No. covered himself with glory yesterday morning by stopping a dangerous runaway. The horse was attached to a delivery wagon of c. s. Mersick & Co. It became frightened by the cars at the State street railroad bridge and started out State street. The bit broke and the horse became unmanageable, The driver jumped from the wagon. The horse turned into Grove street and then into Orange street. where it collided with a carriage,
 On Orange street Officer Cooper saw the horse and started after it. It turn ed into Audubon street, and just as it turned into Whitney avenue the officer caught it by the forelock. He was dragged about twenty feet, but had quieted the animal. The shafts of the wagon were broken.
 Another runaway occurred on George street E. D. Bristol and Fred Oales were out trying a horse which MT Oalles was thinking of purchasing. The horse took fright at an electric car and be- came unmanageable. One of the reins broke and the horse dashed into the fence. Mir Bristol was thrown out and his eye struck on picket, which very near struck the eyeball. Oal1es was thrown out and badly hurt.
 The horse was injured and the car- riage much damaged
