The Meeting of the Lorain County Insti-
tute held at Grafton.
Owing to the very disagreeable and
stormy weather, the LOrain County
Farmers Institute opened last Monday
morning at Grafton with very small
attendance. The program as published
was substantially carried out.
Alva Agee, of Cheshire, o., and TheO.
F. Longenecker, of Dayton, were theprOm-
inent speakers of the occasion.
The farmers were welcomed by Mayor
Finlayson after which followed an ad-
dress by President B. B. Herrick. A talk

TheO. F. LOngenecker was given.
Pres. Herrick presented a paper on

In the afternoon Alva Agee took for his
subject, Increasing the PrOductiveness
Of the Soil," the lecture abOunding in
valuable information to farmers. The
accompanying discussion was lead by G,
S. Pay. N. L. Cotton then spoke on
''HOw shall the Farmer Secure the Best
Results from his Surroundings 7. F.
LOngenecker presented an instructive
lecture on "1nsect Enemies of Orchard
aud Garden and How to Prevent Theil

The Cleveland Plain Dealer on Satur'

The Cleveland Plain Dealer on Satur-
day came out in an editorial in favor OF
eight hours for days work. He says
by so doing cit will create demand Tor
more laborers and all will then likely be
employed." We agree with the Plaln
Dealer man that far, but how about the
nav. Will the man that works elght
hours be satisfied with eight-tenths OF
what he is now receiving, and give the
other two-tenths to the now idle work.
man. or will he demand full compensa-
tion for days service of only eight
hours? In that case the capitalist will De
out the value Of just four hours on each
davis work from what he is now paying
for he will pay his old employe Tor the
two hours he does not work and the new
man must have his pay for working The
two hours that is lost. The above Is
founded upon the principle thatitwlllre-
ouire ten hours service each working
day to perform the labor. The Plain
Dealer man had better tell first what he
is willing to do about the pay before ht
indorses the eight hour law.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Venezuelan Dispute is Assuming
Serious Aspect.

The Venezuelan Dispute Is Assuming a
Serious Aspect.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--There has been
much talk of war with England, but
now for the first time in many years
there is actual probability Of such war.
In fact, unless the situation is misunder-
stood in Washington, there has got to be
a fight or backdOwn, and it is certain
that even If the administration wished
to back down that congress will not al
low it to do so. The Monroe doctrine
has always been believed in by the re-
publican party, and the republicans
in congress can not only be depended
upon to stand by the administration in
maintaining that, but to force it to
maintain it il necessary. The only pOr-
tion Of President Cleveland's message
that struck a responsive chord in con-
gress was that clause dealing with the
communication sent to the British gov
ernment last July demanding a specific
answer as to whether it proposed to sub
NIT to arbitration the disputed boundary
line between British Guiana and Vene-
zuela, and giving notice that this gov
ernment would not allow England to
fOrcibly take any territory claimed by
Venezuela. England has answered that
demand, and although the full text of
that answer has not yet been received lit
is now on the way by maiD it is under
stood that it contains more or less pos
tive refusal to arbitrate the dispute,
Should that understanding prove correct
there is nothing left but to inform Eng
land that the United States will not al
low her to steal Venezuela's territory
and in order to give that information
force it is probable that it will be SEN
by congress, which alone has power t
declare war, in the shape Of joint resO
luton.
President Cleveland this week sent TO
Speaker Reed and the two had length,
conference. 1t is not positively known
that the subject of this conference wa
the Monroe doctrine, but it is believed
that it was, and that Mr.. Cleveland sen
for Mr.. Reed in order to ascertain jus
where the republicans stood and to ar
range as to how the matter should b
dealt with by congress. As soon a
England's answer is received it will b
sent to congress accompanied by spec
ial message from the president, and if i
be Of the nature expected, Englan
would just as well prepare to choose be
tween backing down and fighting, for il
the present humOr of congress she will
be allowed no alternative.
President Cleyeland's message, so ia
as it related to financial matters ha
just as well never have been writer
as there isn't the slightest probabilit
that congress will even consider the II
tirement of the greenbacks at this tim
,, His ignoring Of the treasury deficit,
order to escape recommending legisl
tion for increasing the revenues, WI
plainly done for the purpose of THROWN
the responsibility of amending the tari
laws upon the republicans. The repu1
lican party has never shirked respons
bility and it will not dol so. Congress wi
; provide in its own way the money nee
. ed by the government and leave the T
i sponsibility of accepting or vetoing tn
. legislation upon President Cleveland.

duet by Mrs. Ashley and Mrs. Kimball.
The first item on the program for the
afternoon session was stirring song by
the above named ladies. Theo. F. Long
enecker, one Of the state board instruct
ors, gave lecture on new varieties OF
apples, pears, peaches, and plums. 1t
was illustrated by natural sized cuts,
colored true to kind. The subject was
further considered by N. L. Cotton and
others.
The next subject considered was "The
Water Supply for the Farm and Home"
by F. S. Reefy, the discussion Of which
was lead by Secretary r. Baker.
Alva Agee gave talk on potato cui-
ture. 1t was suggested that the subject
of potato culture had been brought to
such high state that there is a large
surplus of the product. c. s. Mills, a
successful potato grower, discussed the
subject. Another piece of music fol-
lowed, which received hearty encore.
A vote Of thanks to the lecturers and
singers was unanimously adopted when
the institute adjourned. A resolution Of
sympathy for Cuba was unanimously
adopted by a rising vote.
The meeting as whole was highly in
teresting and all who attended felt thai
they had something to take home witt
them. This was the first gathering tht
society ever held in Grafton, and the at
tendance was mainly made up Of new
members. The policy Of moving from
place to place in the county in the hold
ing Of meetings is good one. The an
nual meeting will be held in the tow
hall at North Amherst and it should be
large and enthusiastic one. There is on
feature we wish to commend and that is
to put more local talent on the program
The instruction Of a farmer who is &C
quainted with the management OF tn
different soils of Lorain county is ia
more valuable to the membership tina
the speculations Of a professional lectul
er from abroad. The man Of eXperienc

The trial Of Col. Colt, charged with
murder in attempting to preserve order
at Washington C. H. last summer, is now
in progress at Circleville, but as the
people appear to be losing their interest,"
an acQuittal is almost certain, and IL Is
right that it should be so. The colonel
was sent there to assist in preserving
the peace, and after giving due notice
for the rioters to disperse and they de-
clined to do so, he ordered his troops
to fire upon upon them and eleven were
killed and wounded, which put the
rioters to fight. The course that
has been pursued with Col. Colt will
have tendency to discourage military
officers from doing their plain duty
when ordered out, although life and
property is endangered. Col. Colt should
sue Fayette county for heavy damages,
and the people there should be censurec
by all law abiding citizens in the state
as the course they have pursued has beer
a disgraceful one in the extreme. Moi
rule should be discouraged on ever!
hand, and no act of the people should b'
countenanced that would uphold it.

its superiority. Its publishers are fully
alive to the needs Of its readers. Its

The prOpriety of holding but one cleo
tion in twelve months is being discussed
by number Of papers and all but the
Cleveland World, that have reached our
table, favor the departure. The spring
election is Of small Importance compared
with the expense that is incurred, and Of
no practical benefit to the people, These
municipal officers can all be elected at
the annual election held in November,
and thus be the means Of soon creating a
surplus in the hands Of the several
treasures at the rate now levied, in
stead of drawing every dollar out. We
are inclined to think that the matter
could soon be adjusted so that one elec-
ton in every two years would be all that
would be necessary.

The presidents message has doubtless
been perused by majority of the readers
of this paper. While the executive Of
ficer is merely required to recommend
and can enforce none Of his ideas unless
congress mature them into laws, a mes
sage, it would seem, is of small impor-
tance after all. The president is very
conservative in his views on foreign
matters, in fact merely gives the condi-
tion of affairs and says no more. The
financial question he touches very light
ly, says nothing about the low condition
of the treasury, but hints that congress
had better provide way to replenish it.

The members Of the Salvation Army
devoted Thanksgiving day to penning
letters to Robert G. IngersOll in the in

not likely pay any attention to the com
munnicatiOns. He has been lecturing
in the financial interest Of Mr.. Ingersoll
for quarter Of a century and on ac-
count of his brilliancy and elOquence
has created a wonderful following, but
as to whether his followers are fully sat

quite little doubt.
