having made an excellent president We
think the risk apprehended by "The Ma

tered in national convention composed
of men that may be swept off bf their

any man who could be elected governor
of a conservative state and serve it well
would measure up to the standard Of the

The same paper agrees with Senator
Proctor on the Importance of extending
the terms of representatives for another
wear. Senator Proctor's argument in
favor of the latter proposition is that mat
member has one long and one short
session. and that the fra is hardly con-
cludcd before h. comes III for rc-clcc-
ton. Ii requires about all the two scS-
sions. according to the present plan. tof
member to familiarize himself with his
duties and acquire an influence that
makes him efficient before he is subject
to the chances of having his political
career cut short and no efficient service
Is rendered before another congressional
tyro has to go through the same process
and perhaps share the same fate
The wisdom of keeping Il member III
congress long enough to be OF some SER
vice has many notable examples. Proctor
Knott was in congress two whole sessions
before he opened his mouth on the
floor of the house, and when he did open

SGT Cox rs the wit of the house, ana II
,oot him two whole sessions TO show that
he was more than wit-a proiouhu
statesman. This congressional district
has kept Maj. Saycrs in congreSszHo long
that it would almost be impossible Tor an
appropriation committee of congress to
get along without him. Not only ought
the presidents term to be extended IN
order to avoid the danger of national cX'
element every four years, but the term
of representative in congress ought TO
be extended through Il whole presidential
administration. even if that term was
extended TO six years. We have TOO
many elections for the public good.

In the political creed of William a,
Harris. who succeeds PETER rs popu-
list senator from Kansas, there are only
two good things. and they are his en-
thusiastic support of the Nicaraguan
canal and strong navy He says he is
in favor of the government ownership of
the Pacific railroads, government owner
ship Of the telegraph system, favors Il
protective tariff and free silver. opposes
the retirement of greenbackS, but with
all he believes in Il strong navy and the
Nicaragua canal There are but few
men upon this terrestrial ball unless he
is an Indian or Zula that is entirely de-
void of all good qualities. The zeal Of
Senator Harris in behalf OF a strong navy
and the great canal redeems him from
the utterly political bad.

Of Interest
To Farmers

Among the influences which go to
make up wheat values new one has
appeared. This is the increased substi-
tuition of corn, rye and other cheap GER
eals for wheat. To what extent 25c
corn and barley, 35c rye and zoe oats
displace 75c wheat cannot be known
exactly, but testimony points to the
unquestiontd use in this manner. 1t is
now apparent this has entered to de-
gree in miscalculating the amount of
wheat and flour foreign countries will
take, to say nothing Of home require
ments. Our exports Ut wheat have fal-
len off materially, in spite of known
deficiency in European stocks of bread
stuffs, while our foreign shipments of
cheap but wholesome corn and oats
keep up wonderfully. Nor are the
whispers without background to the
effect that certain Of our home millers
are mixing corn -four aud selling under
the latter name. This increased use of
other cereals is not without much
merit, yet if it continues will ultima
tely necessitate readjustment of the
putative bread requirements. 50 far as
wheat is concerned. American Agri-

1t is often remarked that certain
farmer has never made money from his
land. True, he is out of debt, and has
a comfortable home, but he has no
money. Now / happen to know just
such farmer, but let US see whether
or not he has made money from his
land. When he married he owned no
property. He and his wife went to
work and have labored steadily. They
have six grown sons and daughters, all
at home. This makes eight in family.
Living as economically as possible, l
find that i costs the family $1,000 per
annum for board, clothing, schooling,
taxes and doctor bills, to say nothing
of incidentals, such as farm machinery,
building REPAIRS etc. which cost great
many dollars during the year. 1t seems
to me he is doing pretty well-a great
deal better than many men about little
towns with half rations, a few store
clothes and a galvanized watch and
chain.-F. A. Harpending, Crittenden

Nor is it really impossible, as some
Jokes and some comment seem to inn
ply, to get extra value and good returns

hunting a good bargain. Good bargains
are not common, but hey are to be had,

the reward of the skilful, tireless bar
gain-seeker. She has small amount
Of money, but plenty of time in which
to hunt her prey, and the shopkeeper
who needs her money quickly is the
prey she is seeking.
No doubt the seller often considers
that tie bargain is his, but that is as
it should be. For the value of athing
is only relative, after all. If my time
is worth a thousand dollars an hour,
and yours only five cents, one Of US

heavily to give that hour to secure a

LINEN LORE.

If ones tablecloths and napkins can
not be hemstitched they should be at
least hemmed by hand. An excellent
methodo hemming is know as the
German style. The hem is folded in
the usual way. and is then turned back
and whipped over the body Of the cloth
or napkin. When it is washed and
ironed the stitches are almost imper-
ceptible.
Every well-regulated linen closet
should be bundantly supplied with nap
kins and table clothes. 1t is better to
have many eompal atively coarse cloths
than few fine ones, for spotlessness is
of more value than texture in table
linen. Three tabiecloths week is q
a small allowance. A reserve force of
at least one is necessary in case of &C.
cidents. Napkins should be changed
once a day. Centrepieces, carving
cloths and doilies not only add to the
attractiveness of the table, but help
to protect the tablecloth from stains.

Of course, we speak from the hearts
depths in the great crises of life, when
we first find that we love each other,
or when some sickness or sorrow comes;
but these times are often very far apart,
and everyday love is SO sweet and satis-
