The prohibitionist national con-
vention at Pittsburg last Thursday
night nominated Joshua LeveGng OF
Maryland for president and Hale
Johnson Of Illinois for vice-presldent.
They belong to the marrow guage"
element OF the party. The platform
adopted is confined to the single issue
Of prohibition, woman's suffrage,
free silver, etc, being ignored. The
convention was in an uproar all day,
and when the platform was adopted
about 200 of the "broad guage"
delegates bolted and the next day
formed a new party called the
National, " with the motto Liberty,
Equality, Justice" Charles E. Bent
ley OF Nebraska was nominated for
president. Silver and woman sui
frage are the new planks in the plat
platform.

President Cleveland last Friday
vetoed the river and harbor bill on
the ground that it is so extravagant
as to be especially unsuited to these
times of depressed business and
resulting disappointment in govern
ment revenues. The contracts pro.
vided for in this bill would create
obligations amounting to $62, 900,
600. The president expressed the
belief that the bill opened the way tC
insidious and increasing abuses
that he had carefully studied thu
different items in the bill and though
he was performing duty to hi
country when he returned it withou
approval. The contents of the presi

J. T. GLEASON Republican
PERRY PORTER County Committee.


One of the most important duties of
the next legislature will be to elect a
successor to Senator Morrill, whose
term of office expires on March 3,
1897 On that day the veteran
statesman will complete 80 years of
continuous service in the senate.
Previous to his election to the senate
he had represented his district in the
house OF representatives for six
terms. That the FEATHER of Con-
gress" is still possessed of all his
intellectual acumen was well illus
trated last Tuesday by his able
speech on the tariff and financial
problems. 1t was ringing speech
for sound money and one of the
ablest contributions to the financial
question that has been heard thus
far in the present congress. All Yer
mont is proud Of such a statesman
and delights to honor him. When
the legislature meets to choose his
successor we hope to see them re-
elect Senator Morrill, for another
term. His age has not lessened his
ability, and as long as Vermont has
the leader Of the senate he should be
kept in public service, Senator Nor,
rlll should succeed himself.

A queer holiday spectacle took
place at Columbus, o., last Saturday
afternoon and was witnessed by 49,
900 persons. 1t was a pre-arranged
collision between two freight trains,
each composed of 40ton engine,
three gondola cars and caboose,
running so miles an hour, placed
600 feet apart on the main line and
then were switched to 1000 foot
siding for the collision. When the
signal was given the engineers pulled
the throttle and jumped. When the
trains came together the crowd
burst into a deafening cheer. The
exhibition was such success that
arrangements are being made for
similar ones in various cities.

THE DEATH or PRESIDENT LINCOLN

Into the Presidents opera-box he stole,
With pistol in his hand.
Bang and next morning the Presidents son
Took its flight to better land
Then upon the stage he sprang,
Aud dashed across TO the opposite side
Waving glittering dagger in his hand
"Sic semper tyanus!' he cried.
Out into the dark lie went,
And quickly mounted a swift steed,
To escape a Nations wrath he was bent
The horse was urged TO It's utmost speed.
He took refuge in barn
When the U S. cavalry did arrive,
And quickly he heard the startling alarm
Halt. If possible take him alive
Booth was called ON to yield,
But refused the summons bluntly,
Saying, Let me out in the field
And I'll fight your whole company
The soldiers set the barn on fire
And called on Booth to surrender.
Private Corhin went around To get near,
And shot him. causing hm to welter.
The soldiers took him from the barn
And laid him on the grass gently.
Booth took Captain Baker by the arm,
Whispered: Tell mother I died repent

DRAINING PASTURES.
In Many Gases 1t Can no Made 20 Pay
Handsomely.

The impression is quite common that
II will not pay 20 underdrain pasture
land. says Drainage Journal. There
are pasture lands that II will not pay
to drain, but IL is also true that in many
instances IL will pay TO underdrain. in
part. at least. lands used for grazing
purposes. In passing through the
country we see many acres of pasture
land which, IL sufficiently underdrained.
would be very valuable. As they are
now they are practically worthless, af-
fording only wild and unnutritious
grasses, worth but little for grazing
purposes; in fact, such lands are dis
ease breeders OF the live stock which
have the run of them. Pastures which
need underdrainage may be cared for
so as TO present a good appearance to
the casual observer, but when careful
ly examined are found TO grow grasses
of little value. II they have been seed
ed to tame grass there is such n mix
ture OF water grasses with the tame
that the pasture is poor.
II landowner is doubtful as 70 the
benefits of undertaking such land, let
him put in one or more tile drains with
good outlets and observe the result
The wi Id sour grasses will disappear
and the tame grass sod will thiclSen and
grow luxuriantly. The live stock are
good judges. In grazing they will
keep the grass near the drains cropped
closely because il is more palatable TO
the taste and more nutritious We are
confident that the value OF thousands
OF acres OF pasture lands could be
greatly enhanced IL underdrained.
which are, in their present condition,
practically worthless. Those who
have given little attention to the real
condition OF their grazing lands will
be surprised in careful examination OF
their condition. IL will soon become
apparent to them that where there is
one blade OF good, nutritious grass,
four or five may be made TO grow by a
we'll directed effort in the underdrain-
age OF the land.
