Red Glasses for seasickness.

A new remedy for seasickness comes
from Germany. The discoverer says
that seasickness is due to lack of blood
in the brain, and wearing red glasses
will send the blood to the brain with a
rush, and so relieve the condition. He
ascribes such benefit as may follow
the use of champagne and other stimu-
lants, as well as the relief given by ly-
ing down, to the congestion of the
brain produced, and asserts that the
red glasses act more quickly and eff.

MONEY IN POTATOES.
How Two Young Farmers Made 900 Per
Acre.

How Two Young Farmers Made 800 Per
Lincoln Journal.
Messrs. Calvin and Luther Shrum,
two live and progressive farmers Of
this township, have demonstrated
that there is big money to be made
in raising sweet potatoes.
Last year they raised $l,04O on
three acres of land. OF this crop they
fed 200 bushels of the smaller pota-
toes and those bruised or cut in har-
vesting to their horses, COWS and
stock and say that as stock food they
find the potato better than corn.
Of the remainder of the crop 600
bushels were stored in q specially
constructed potato house for market
in the spring, and 200 bushels for
their own use were stored in cellars.
The house used for storage has
double walls II inches apart on the
sides and overhead, filled in between
with dry saw,dust. The floor is raised
10 inches, carefully packed down
and covered with cement. In this
house the potatoes keep perfectly
sound all winter.
Messrs Shrum did not begin selling
potatoes until the middle of Fsbru-
ary, and they are finding ready sale
.. for them at 40 cents per bushel. They
will make about $3.50 in money from
their three-acre potato field, ate,
supplying their families and saving
! 200 bushels of corn.

white people cannot afford to be

that taxation without representa-

The party that advocates it is an i'm

The Populist State platform is
good, but it ought to meet and de-

they would give a clear, undefiled I'D

least possible expense to the people.
The Populist party may point with
pride to the illustrious Secretary of

clean and above reproach. The State

Editor CAUCASIAN:
In the last political campaign, the
Populist party in this State made a
great fight upon principals of reform
as set forth in its State platform. 1t
is we'll known that the Democrats
borrowed enough of the Populist
platform to secure to themselves q
good per cent. of the Popuiist votes
of the State. They raised the race
issue to whip into line those Populist
voters and as many white Republic
can voters as they could scare with
the revolutionary methods of red
shirts and shot guns. They succeed
ed we'll with the auxiliary help CT IN
Limitations, the use of whiskey,
money and merchandise on the weak
voter. There is no respectable white
man in the State who is in favor of
negro domination, but it was strong
" urged, upon the part of the Demo-
cratic opposition, that the State was
not under negro domination nor
would it ever oe; that ab 'olute white
ruleswould be given in the eastern
counties as rapidly as it could be
done in q regular way. This promise
availed nothing with the Bouroan
Democratic leaders. They were de-
termined to get control of the State
and then entrench themselves in
power by disfranchisement laws for
all time to come. No party has the
right to make q law, to declare, IN
effect, that no other party shall live.
Because that would be assuring an
dictatorship contrary to the spirit Of
free country. Ever since the free
dom of the negro, and his rights
guaranteed TO him by the constitu-
ton of the United States the race
question has been an enigma for the
most prejudiced thinkers. They
have all tried to psint out the solu-
ton Of the question and at the same
time allow both races to live in the
same country and under the same
laws, but this condition of the two
races will not admit of just settle
mept of this momentous question
