dried up, and Farmer Cuddeback,
whose pond was stocked with Ger
man carp, has had the misfortune to
lose his entire buekwheat crop. The
carp, going overland in search of
water, passed through his buckwheat
field, and being hungry as well as
dry, cleaned it up as slick as horde
of grasshoppers could have done All
bis neighbors are up in arms, and in
order to save their crops are making
use of every available weapon with
which to exterminate the destructive
carp. As fast as they are killed they
are sailed down, some farmers hav-
ing as many as eight barrels in brine
Farmer Cuddeback says that if be

Senator Faulkner in Maryland.

Senator Faulkner has taken the
stump in Maryland and Is advocat-
ing the election of the Democratic
nominees AT Oakland he said: Il
came here tonight in obedience to
the request of the chairman of the
State central committee and to paw
debt of gratitude which 1 owe the
Democracy of the State of Mary
land. | came as a national Demo
on a national platform to talk State
affairs as pertaining to national mat
tiers. | came from an adjoining State
The result of the November election
in Maryland will have its influence
on my State and people. After a
rule of over 20 years, during which
time the Republican party have fail
ed to point out one single fault in
the rule of the Democratic party,
they come and ask you to turn this
State over to them. What have they
done? Why, low-citizens, they
have sneaked iuto their platform
plank which they had in the nation,
al platform of '92 BY which they say
they renew their allegiance to the
passage of the force bill and McKin-
ley bill, and ask you to endorse this
by your vote Are you ready to do
this? They are trying to conceal
the issue on which they are making
their fight. When you vote for Mr..
Hurst you do not directly vote for
the man; it is the principal which
you give endorsement to. Where
is the lunatic that says, Give Mary
land over to the Republican party
this year and then reclaim it in
1896? Oh, misguided men! If any
of you are here when you do this,
you will find that you are tied hand
foot, and when too late, you will be
in sackcloth and ashes for your
crime"
He then gave review of financial
affairs under President Harrison and
compared it with the magnificent ad-
ministration of Grover Cleveland.
And at every allusion to the Pres
ident there was hearty applause.
"Your candidates measure up to
the high Jeffersonian idea of fitness
for public office Even though a
part of the press of the State is an
tagonist to the the ticket, they can
not sey one word against one of
them. Do not sacrifice your princi-
Piles for private or personal revenge

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.

almost Never ClOuded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,

As an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 5, 600 feet in
latitude above sea-leyel, and charac-
- lzed by dry air which, unlike a
bid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door eXertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for a summer outing.
It's climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
MonteZuma, is located at these springs.

Putting Out Furnace Fires.


The Republican papers, speakers
and platforms of state conventions
have talked much about putting
out the furnace fires" as a result of
the Wilson tariff law. 1t makes a
rather effective figure of speech, this
talk of "furnacefres" by kid gloved
gentlemen who were never nearer a
furnace fire than the distance it
takes to draw a dividend The 9TH
er day Republican speaker not far
from here talked hum5ug to his
hearers in declaring, referring to the
Wilson tariff, that 1--WE Republicans
believe in tariff laws that will fire
the furnace and not quench them"
In view Of recent developments this
bright orator should at once have
declared his affection for the Wilson
law.
What has happened to the iron
furnaces since the Wilson bill be-
came law a little over year ago?
On August l, 1894, the weekly ca
pacity of the furnaces in blast was
1886 tons of iron. On September
l, three days after the bill became a
law, the weekly output was Isl, l13
tons. And the Iron Age" the
leading authority in the iron indus
try, states that the weekly output
has since increased until on Septem-
Der l, 1895, it was I94,029 tons.
This is high water mark in the
furnace industry. The largest week
ly output recorded in past years was
1913, 902 tons, on March |, 1892. Con
corning the unprecedented activity
at the furnaces the Iron Age" said
on the 18th ult:
We are now getting ON at rapid
rate to the 100000 ton mark for
weekly output, and are now making
more iron than ever before in our
history,or that of any other country.
Production is still increasing, and
yet seems unable to keep up with
the demand.
And all this under the the Wilson
law. Never before in its history has
Pittsburg, and the metal manufac-
turing districts adjacent to Pitts
burg, shown such wonderful activi.
ty as at this time. We do not claim
that it is owing to the Wilson tariff,
for the position "The Post" has al
ways maintained has been that the
tariff is not the controlling factor
But "The POST does this thing-it
stamps as bald faced lie the pre-
tense that the prosperity of our
manufactures and the wages of our
workingmen are dependent on pro.
tective duties of the Mckinley type |
And in this we have the facts of cur
rent history to sustain US. The pro-
tective tariff may make dividends

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some times ago to
give away a bottle of their Digestive
Cordial to any one who might call at
their New York office, there was a
great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have
been a clever advertising transaction,
for although they gave away thous-
ands of bottles, it was in the end pro-
fitable; nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
had derived better results from its
use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment of stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, and what is better than all, it
relieves at once.
