The Benton fuglemen are at it again,
though they have to degree changed
their tactics. They are now lauding
Benton to the skies and hypocrtically
damning Jere Leslie with faint praise.
They are holding up their hands in alleged
horror at the idea Of personalities in the
campaign. 1t will not do. From the
beginning of the canvass up to the pres
ent these Benton men have made Mr..
Leslie the target of their abuse. They
have declared over and over again that
be had resorted to the most disreputable
methods to secure the nomination; they
have, 80 far as they could, held him up to
scorn and ridicule. They have done all
they could, and scattered their poison as
far as it would 60. To this extent their
purpose is accomplished. But there has
come reaction. With the friends of
Mr.. Leslie, and The TRIBUNE is one
of them, forbearance has ceased to
be virtue. We know that Judge
Benton is not the saint that his "heelers"
try to picture him. He is seeking re-
election to an Office that he has already
held for seven years and his record and
public acts are legitimate subjects for
criticism, and they will be criticised.
Mr. Benton has no cinch on the judge
ship OF Cascade county. It was not
created for his especial benefit. No
matter whether his administration has
been good, bad, or Indifferent.
We have heretofore called attention to
the fact that the percentage of civil cases
appealed. from his court and overruled
by the supreme court was larger than
those from any other district. This is
surely not gratifying evidence Of his
capacity. We have also called attention
to pamphlet gotten out in his interest
in which figures are given to show that
he had tried an extraordinary number
of cases, while beyond any ques-
ton the statements were mis-
leading, in that in many crimi-
nal cases the accused pleaded guilty, and
many civil cases TOR which he claims
credit were settled or dismissed without
trial. We have said and still say, that
the PRONUNCIATION of any such document
was an attempt to deceive that is unbe-
coming on the part of any man who
aspires to so high an office. We believe
that Judge Benton has held office long
enough and that he should retire to pri-
vate practice, for a man who is as able
as no and his howlers claim him to be

The candidates on the democratic
populist county ticket are out among the
people, showing themselves and advo-
eating the election of Bryan, Hartman,
Bob Smith and the county ticket. They
are preaching the gospel of free coinage

wherever they go. Where are the candi-
dates on the republican county ticket?
They are around Great Falls, lodging

WHY THEY WILL CHANGE.

While the city has been reducing ex-
penditures in all departments; while
every store, company or individual in
business has been watching expenses
with increasing care day by day, ever
since the hard times came on, the repub-
lican administration at the court house.,
in the face of public opinion demanding
economy, has been making no special

Rotation in Office is good democratic
and American doctrine, and it will be
put in practice in Cascade county at the
coming election. The most notable in
stance of this will be the replacing of
Judge Benton by Jere Leslie. Seven
years on the bench is long enough for
one man, and it would be an injustice to
keep Benton there longer. He should
return to practice. There is where he
shines.

It has often been remarked that about
every good Cascade county road leads
into the front yard of a republican coun-
ty commissioner or an ex-republican
county commissioner, and yet it has
cost about $4,000 year to take care of
our roads. To some people this may
seem cheap; to others, otherwise.

Seeding with Timothy.

We have never had any experience in
sowing timothy alone, as where our
farming was done winter grain crops
generally paid both in grain and straw
and furnished nearly or quite as good
grass growth the following year to
mix with the straw and make it more
valuable feed. There is never any fail
ure to get a good timothy catch where
either rye or wheat is sown in Septem-
Der. 1t is usual to wait until nearly
October before sowing the grass seed,
else it will crowd the grain too much
next season. If you want the grass alone,
we advise sowing it on we'll prepared
seed bed in August, as the seed will
start quickly, and with seven pounds of
seed per acre the young grass will get
sufficient growth to green the surface
before cold weather comes on. Young
timothy is not easily killed. We have
seen it sown the middle of October, so
that it barely got roothold before the
ground froze, and yet most Of this tim
othy was uninjured by the following
winter. A crop Of timothy alone, except
on very rich land, will run out after
two or three years. 1t will last longer
if a half seeding Of clover seed is sown
with it next spring. American Guilt

OUR WOMEN'S CLUB.
Facts About tho Great Meeting Soon To Be
Held Here.

just now the different Womens' clubs
of the State are thinking of the winter
work, and resuming their sessions after
the summer vacations. The converting
of the State Federation of Women's clubs
at Portland, October IA, 10 and 16 is a
matter of no little Importance to every
club mem Der. The work of every club in
the State will be then reported and some
thing of the work each is doing will be
told. Mrs. H. NJ. Esta brook secretary
of the Federation has sent out circular
letter asking for Information as to the
work accomplished the last year. and the
plans for future work and asking for
suggestions as to the line of thought that
should receive the attention of the FEEDER
alton for the ensuing year. These have
been sent to each club, and the replies
are fast being received by Mrs. Esta-
brooke, and will be used by her in tbs
report given at the coming meeting of
the Federation.
The limitations of the term of Office
make an election of officers for the Maine
State Federation part Of the business
of the October gathering. Already a
number of names are mentioned for the
office. Perhaps that of Mrs. Alice Frye
Briggs Of Auburn, daughter of Hon.
VIM. P. Frye and wife of B. It. Briggs
one of Auburn's distinguished oitizens
leads. Mrs. Briggs is ably fitted for this
place. she has Ind experience in club
work and as president of the Woman's
Literary Union of Auburn and Lewiston
has presided over a society with men,
bership Of more than four hundred. Mrs.
Briggs besides being talented woman is
splendidly endowed for the Office, for she
will make fine presiding officer, and
will understand the duties of the Office
to perfection. Probably few women In
the Federation would be seleotedfor this
office who has more for this personal
friends than Mrs. Briggs.
Another name mentioned as possible
candidate is that of Mrs. EAnna Sargent

SHOWED HTS GOOD SENSE.
A Brooklyn Policeman Who Refused TO
Carry Ii Hung.

In Brooklyn there is policeman who
considered 1t too far beneath his dignity
to submit to an order to assist in Garry
ing our late great Chinese visitor, Lii
Hung Chang. His name Is Mich ael
O'Brine, and he belongs TO the Eastern
Parkway station. He thinks he is the
fist American policeman to resist such
an order. The incident occurred in
front of the Union League Club house,
in Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, ON the
day the distinguished Chinaman visite
that place. He was conveyed to the
Union League Club in a carriage, and
when that stopped at the curb, opposite
the main entrance. he lay placidly baok
on the cushions and waited for his sedan
chair TO come along with Its police
bearers.
The policemen present were details
from the various station housss. The
precincts had sent their biggest and
finest looking men. There were fifty of
them holding the crowds back in front
OF the Union League. O'Brien WAS one
OF the six policemen detailed from the
Twenty-seventh precinct.
OorBcnuu 0roROry, WHO was ID lmlu0
diate command of the policemen at the
Union League club, selected four men
TO act as LII Hung Changes bearers. His

MANI" he asked.
"You are" responded Gregory.
"Well, I won't do it, responded
o 'Brien, standing up straight and slowly
initiating his chest and glaring at his
superior with blue gray eyes that were fit
to pierce deal board.
you'd better report to the Inspector, -
said Sergeant Gregory.
O'Brien fell out of the police ranks,
and made his way to Inspector Murphy,
who was standing near Mayor Wurster
Inspector, he said, 81 have been
detailed to carry the Chinaman and I
positively refuse to do it..
Inspector Murphy Is small, active,
wiry man, noted for his courtesy. He
looked at O'Brien a moment and then
said:
Every well, don't want you to do
anything against your will"
o. Brfen went back to his place In the
ranks and another man was detailed to
help carry the visi tor.
O'Brfen's rebellion was so quietly
conducted that not more than half a
dozen men in the city of Brooklyn knew
+ had taken place.
His comrades, however, were indignant
when they saw that Washington police
men were getting the credit of being the
first In America to revolt, and they told
of the occurrence.
No motion has been made to punish
O'Brien for insu bordination and there is
no likelihood of such action being tsken.
1.-THE man equested to be relieved
from the duty to which he was as
signed" said Inspector Murphy, "and as
that duty was unusual and its legitimacy
as police work doubtfuls made no OBJ
lection"
O'Brien has the sympathy of his super
Tors and comrades in the Eastern Park
way station, and though they admit that
he was insubordinatu they claim that to
punish him would raise the biggest
storm ever known in police circles In
B Brooklyn.

Sorghum For Feed.

Country Gentleman gives this infor-
nation concerning the cutting of sor-
ghum for feed: Itshould be nearly ripe,
as it will make richer food and cure bet
ter. 1t will head out and make little
seed, and this should be ripe enough to
grow before the crop is cut A light
frost will help to cure it and will not
injure it at all. When it stands up well,
it can be cut with the binder and bound
in small bundles, but should not be
shocked until the butts have dried out
well, as there is danger of its souring if
the fresh cut bundles are set on damp
earth. If cut with the moving machine,
cure as you would hay and draw it in
loose. 1t may be left out in the swath
until well cured, and it is little injured
by rain, as it is coarse and the water
runs through it and it soon dries. Cut
before frost if ripe enough.

HEAVY HORSES.
a Michigan Farmer Recommends Them
Highly For Farm Work.

a Michigan Farmer Recommends Them
Highly For Farm Work.
A Michigan correspondent of Country
Gentleman, and formerly an advocate
for medium weight horses, writes az
follows:
About five years ago bought team
of heavy horses, weight about 1900
pounds each, more because I could not
find what wanted in lighter weights
than from any good Judgment of my
own. had not had the team a week
before their superiority over the other
teams on the farm was proved. They
moved off with pillow with much less
fatigue They drew heavy loads with
far greater easc-in fact, they were
masters of the situation wherever put at
work. I found that it took no more to
keep them than the lighter horses, un-
less it may be that they consume little
more hay, for they receive the same
grain ration as the others. And as for
road work, we do not need to put the
farm horses before carriage, and when
it comes to taking loads to town they
walk faster than the others, besides
hauling considerably more at load.
So great was the change in my opin-
ion on the subject of heavy horses for
farm work that have since bought an
other team of the same kind. These two
teams do the hardest, heaviest work ON
the farm at all times, all the heavy
blowing, which it would require three
lighter horses to manage.
For certain kinds of work the smaller
horses are all right. For oultivating.
moving, light dragging and certain
other things on any farm they answer
every purpose. or to the small farmer
who has not work enough at any time
Of the year to hurry him. He can take
his time and not rush things as they
have to be rushed on large farm, but
when it comes to big days work on
disk harrow or pillow, or where great
strength is required, give me the heavy
horses every time. A heavy horse is not
necessarily slow one, nor need he be an
awkward one. A horse of heavy weight
should not be SO fat as to be burden to
himself either, but in good, fair condi-
ton, with no protruding bones. More
grain and less hay should be the rule on
most farms. Where the farming is ex-
tensive enough to warrant keeping two
teams let one of them be heavy. They
will take all the heavier work off the
smaller team, and these may be used
for light road work when required.

New In American Agriculture.

A new departure is the summer class
now being conducted on the farm OF
George T. Powell in Columbia county,
N. Y. The students are young men
from the cities who have capital. and
who desire to invest that capital in
farming or fruit growing. They spend
three summer months on the farm in
orchard and field. doing such work as
spraying, pruning. shipping fruit and
cultivating, learning all they can of the
necessary work on a well ordered fruit
farm. In the fall they will go to Cor
nell and take scientific course, in the
meantime selecting farms Of their own
and planning to lay them out while
studying.
