The TussooIs Moth.

DIR. Smith Of the New Jersey station
claims that it is an easy matter to keep
free from the tussock moth. Clear all
trees of eggs early i'll the winter, burn
ing the masses not on the tree but in a
furnace. Every egg mass contains the
possibility of 600 worms. There are two
or three broods year in this latitude,
the eggs laid in September Matching the
following spring
The caterpillars are easily destroyed
by spraying, and a heavy pouring rain
will dislodge and drown great numbers

Value in
An Important Order.

A very strict order has been issued to
she B. & o. S, w. conductors by Super
intendent Howard. 1t calls the atten-
tion of the trainmen to similar one
from April last, referring to lost pack
ages, which have been left on the
trains.
1t appears that since August 1st fif-
teen different bundles or packages
have been lost on trains entering Gin
cinnati, and on not one occasion have
the trainmen found anything when
they returned. The advice of the sup
erintendent is tnat the conductors and
brakemen in the future enter trains
after stops haye been made, the former
taking one of the coaches and the
brakeman the latter, for it is evident
that other parties have been going
through the trains and taking what
did not belong to them.

Marking the Rallot.

l. To vote a straight" Republican
ticket, make a cross mark (X) in the
circular space below the eagle and
above the name of the party at the
head of the ticket
2. If you desire to vote a mixed
ticket, or in other words, for candidates
of different parties, you may make or
omit to make cross mark in the circu-
lar space above the name of the party,
and make a cross mark in the blank
space before the name of each candi-
date for whom you desire to vote on
whatever ticket he may be.
A voter who declares to the Presiding
Judge that he is unable to mark his
ballot by reason of blindness, paraly-
sis, extreme old age, or other physical
infirmity, and such physical infirmity
is apparent to the judges to be suffi-
cient to incapacitate the voter from
marking his ballot properly, may re-
ceive the assistance of two of the
Judges of Election in marking the
same.
The ballot must be marked with
black lead pencil.

Time to Think Right.

In the siugle week which remains be.
fore the National election, which will
determine the history cf the country
for years to come, it behooves every
voter to carefully consider what his
duty to himself, his fellow citizens and
the Nation demands of him in the cast
ing of his ballot. The time is past
for giving weight to trivial or insuffic'
lent arguments in this connection. In
the great crisis which confronts the
American people, it is no justification
for man that he votes in a particular
way simply because his party conven-
tion has given its endorsement TO the
candidates and principles he supports.
The real question should be, will the
election of the candidates he proposes
to vote for and the triumph of the
principles they represent best advance
the interests of himself and family,
and those of his fellow citizens and the
Nation generally? The privilege of
boasting that one has supported his
regular party tisket will be very little
solace indeed to the man who finds as
a result that he and his family have to
dine upon cold victuals, if they dine at
all, and that his country has suffered in
its reputation and credit.
Throwing aside therefore all ques-
tion merely of partisanship, the
thoughtful voter who wants to be en-
tirely safe cannot do other than decide
upon supporting the Republican can
didates. They alone stand for great
principles, which have been tested and
proved correct by the experience of the
ages. They, when elected, will count
enance no experiments which all his
tory and the logic of common sense
alike teach must be most damaging to
the credit of the Nation and to the
business of all its people. Viewed by
the light of experience, no man can
honestly doubt but that the triumph of
the Republican party next week will
mean that the money we earn today
will be as good next year as it is this,
that business confidence will be COM
pletely restored, that the finances of
the Nation will be put upon sound
basis, that it's governmental authority
will be respected everywhere, and that
peace and plenty ana prosperity will
long be the heritage of our people,
while panic, ruin, disorder and Nation
al disaster must inevitably follow the
success of the Popocratic candidates

When i Am Dead.

When am dead
Bring roses red,
And poppies-blooms OF rest
And heap them on my breast,
That may breath their perfume deep
And sleep and sleep and sleep!
No flowers white,
For chill delight
Give me on that glad day,
But bend and smile and say:
Bring blooms that burn and light and glow
She loved all warmth and color sol"
And all about me to my feet
Drop clovers pink and sweet.
Why should you lay those cold white things
On the heart where lies with folded wings
The cold, dead bird of song?
Dearest, the last night is so long
pray you pile the poppies deep.
Upon my breast-that may sleep.
When l am dead
Let the suns red
Strike through uncurtained pane
From OF the singing main;
Yea, everything must sing that day
When go on my glad new way
Ana II there should be any tears
Let them be for my wasted years
And not for me- Throw ali the windows wide
And let the strong surge of the tide
Come sounding once more up the hill
And shall hear 1t still
And each homecoming wave shall say:
BE GLAD, be very glad today
Aud for the last time / shall hear
But after that would not hear,
For sweet as thought OF hearing seems,
Who hears must dream-and / would have no
dreamsl
So pile the crimson poppies deep
That may sleep and sleep

The Republican Party stands
for honest money and the chance
to earn it by honest toll. !:
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

IT is unnecessary to expatiate on
the fitness of every candidate on the
Republican csunty ticket for the Office
to which he aspires. Every man has
been tried in the position to which he
asks the voters to elect him and each
has made a record for abili4y and con-
scientious devotion to duty that will
justify the support of every citizen
who has the welfare of the county at
heart With Gle exception, each has
served the county faithfully for one
term in office. Dnring the years of
their public service Probate Judge
Rood, Auditor Patterson, Recorder
Athey, Commissioner Randolph and In
firmary Director Schnauffer haye DEM
oustrated their fitness beyond question.
In all questions concerning the public
and in all matters of business con-
nected with the welfare of the county
they have been uniformly wise, con-
siderate and courteous to degree that
has entrenched them firmly in the
hearts of their constituents.
John S. McCallister, the nominee for
Sheriff, is the only man on the ticket
who is not serving his first term, but
in matters pertaining to the admins
tration of the Office, his services as
Deputy Sheriff have made him ac-
quainted with every detail. 1t is freely
admitted that he has been one of the
best servants the county ever had. AS
Republican he has always stood by
the party of prosperity and progression.
He has brilliant record as a soldier
and will no doubt poll the solid vet
eran vote of the county.
Hon. II. c. VanVoorhis, our candidate
for member of Congress from this dis
trict has already served four years in
the House of Representatives and his
record is an open book that speaks for
him louder than words. He has gained
notoriety as the friend of the soldier
and the farmer. He is sound on the
tariff, sound on finance, sound on pen
sions-and, above all, he is safe.
There is absolutely no reason why
any Republican in Washington county
should scratch single name on the
ticket from that of the Incompatible
Mckinley down. National, State,
Congressional, Judicial, County
every candidate is tried and true. Let
one X mark do the work, and vote the
Republican ticket straight.

Conundrum.

The report of the director Of the mint
for the year 1894 shows, at page II,
that from 1878 to 1894 the United
States paid for 459,046,7o1 fine ounces
of silver S464,210,263. The present
price of silver per ounce fine is 65 cents,
and the value of that bought is $685.
965,356. The loss on the transaction,
therefore, amounts at present to $685.
244,9o7. Who got the money paid for
the silver? What have they done with
it? Has any of it been invested or
loaned in the south or west? If so,
where?

THE wAeE-EARNERs GAMBLE.
A Foolish Proceeding for Men who Toll
for Their Living.

A Foolish Proceeding for Men who Toll
for Their Living.
Wage earners should not gamble with
their wages. Certainly they should not
do so when the dice are loaded against
them, and II is case of "heads win
and tails you lose" He can win nothing,
but may lose much, If he CANDLES with
the silver mine owners and takes tips
from the free silver politicians.
No silverite claims that free coinage
would raise actual wages. The most
they say is that the woge-earner would
not lose much IN the purchasing power
of his wages and that he would be likely
to have steadier work when the more
money" period is reached. Perhaps.
But what should most concern those
who exchange labor for dollars is that
their dollars should not shrink in value.
Looking at the question in the light of
history and OF reason, it appears practi-
cally certain that the sixteen to one
free coinage dollar would purchase only
about half as much as the present dol.
lar
The Mexican dollar is free coinage
legal tender dollar which contains more
silver than would ours, yet it purchases
only half as much as q gold dollar. This
is true of all other free silver countries.
Everywhere the value of the coin is
measured by the value of the bullion In
it.
If the price of silver should rise to
s1.2o an ounce in gold, the wage-earner
would neither lose nor gain by free
coinage. II, as is certain, the price does
not rise but little or not at all, then the
wage Garner has lost half of his wages
until he can by threats and strikes In
duce his employer to raise wages. His
own and his fanily's food, shelter and
clothing are at stake. He gambles with
them when there is nothing to be won,
but probably poverty and starvation If
he loses. Will he enter into such an I'M
fair game?

SINGLE TAKERS AGAINST BRYAN
A Protest Against the Reports of the Sfl-
20

A Protest Against the Reports Of the Sill
verite Press.
The fact that Henry George and some
other single takers are actively sup
POI ting Bryan--the most of them in
spite of his free coinage views-has
been advertised widely by the silverite
press. Many people undoubtedly sup
pose that practically all of the single
takers are for Bryan. Such, however,
is not the case.
The national democratic party is cir
cu!ating q protest signed by over go
prominent single takers who will not
vote for Bryan and reputation. The
signers include such men as Thomas
G. Sherman, New York; William Lloyd
Garrison, Boston; Bolton Smith, Ten
nessee: Samuel Millikin, Philadelphia;
Joseph Dana Miller, New Jersey; r.
T. Sneidiker, Kansas; DR.. b. T. Long
street, Texas; F. E. Hathorn, Iowa; II.
Rowley, Brooklyn; A. S. Froslid, North
Dakota; William G. Wulff, Ohio, and A.
B. Farquhar, Pennsylvania.
The following is a part of their pro-
test:
Much as we may deplore the set
ting aside for the moment of all issues
in which, as single takers, we are real
ly intel ested, we cannot disguise from
ourselves that in this campaign there is
but one issue, that of free silver, nor can
we delude ourselves with the idea that
any gain can be made for the cause of
the people by supporting Mr.. Bryan,
while denying the monetary doctrine
for which he stands and to which he has
subordinated every other issue.
"The battle for the single tax has
hitherto been one for more freedom,
not for less, for. less interference by q
paternal government, not for more, and
we should deny the fundamental princi-
pie which has inspired it were we to
aid in forcing upon the community by
legal tender acts a coinage which it was
unwilling to receive. The aim of the
single takers has been to remove the
restrictions upon industry that come of
nnwisc and unjust taxation. We can
not consent to intensity the effects of
these restrictions by helping to pre-
ciritate the paralysis of industry which
must follow financial panic.
"And while we must therefore, as
single taxers, reject a proposed remedy
which has nothing in common with
the single tax, but is, indeed, opposed
to its essential spirit, we are also un-
ilinchingly opposed to the public and
private dishonesty that is involved in
the payment of debts with the depreci-
ated dollars that we believed would re-
suit from free silver coinage at sixteen
TO one. We do not maintain that the
single tax is, or ought to be, identified
with the gold standard any more than
with the silver standard, but we do hold
that our cause cannot afford to be as
sociated with a proposal that must have
dishonest results, with whatever hon,
esty of purpose it may be advocated"
