81. Louis "Globe- Democrat" (Rep.l.
Probably the entire country has long
ago discovered that the most alert and
progressive end of the Republican party ls
its Western section. The issues which at
tain national proportions are usually
grasped earlier and dealt with more vigor-
ously here than in the East. Everybody
remembers the most recent case Of West
ern leadership. 1t was on the expansion
issue. The West was quicker than the
rest of the country in seeing the signifi-
canoe of that question and the necessity
of dealing with it promptly and vigorous
ly. There was no hesitation about the
matter here. Before the echo of Dewey g
guns at Manila died away the West came
out in favor of the acquisition and reten-
ton of the entire Philippine group. The
Vests initiative soon brought the Eastern
end of the party into line, and the Peace
Commissioners from this country were in
structed to demand the cession of the ar
chipeligo. The Vests leadership will be
continued through the national canvass,
which will soon begin. Iowa's Republi-
cans haye outlined the policy which will
be advocated in all the Republican con-
ventions of the West this year, and the
national convention of the party ten
months hence will ratify the Western Re-
publicans' demands.

PLAIN HORSE TALK.

Every boy and girl should learn to
ride horse gracefully and well.
The record of endurance made by the
saddle bred horses during the last CAM
paign is of the greatest interest.
There is an increased interest in sad
die horse breeding, and we hope soon
to see fewer misfts under the saddle.
A big rolling door made Of Turing
strips and mosquito net does not cost
much, and is great preserver Of horse
flesh.
Too much care cannot be taken Of
the feet. 1t is much easier to keep the
feet sound than to cure them after they
have become injured by neglect or care
lessness.
Do not let the hot weather come and
find your stables badly ventilated.
Horses cannot be kept healthy and In
the best condition If their quarters are
close and full Of foul odors.
Ifyour horses feet have become hard,
soak themin water or apply poultice Of
fax seed. A pad made of piece of an
old blanket or some wooden cloth thor
oughly wet and fastened around the
hoof will allay fever and help to keep
the feet in good condition.-Farm Jour

IeFFERsONlAN DOCTRINES.

The modern, so-called Democracy seems
to have abandoned its worship OF the orig
inator of the spoils system, which is the
cohesive power of every branch and part
of the Democracy. We rarely here Dem
ocrat of any faction say anything about
Jackson; and the press of the different
sections or wings of the party says nothing
about Jacksonian Democracy, but con-
stantly writes about Jefferson and his
doctrines. The gold Democrats claim to
be the true representatives of the Sage OF
Monticello, and the Bryanites or silverites
assert with equal positiveness that they are
the only orthodox Jeffersonianites, while
the Populists claim that they are the only
exponents Of unadulterated JefersOnian-
ism.
We have profound respect for jefier-
son, but little regard for a party that can
make no other defence ofits principle
than that they are supposed to represent
the views of a man who lived nearly a
century ago. We laugh at the Chinese
and japanese for being SO devoted to the
philosophy of Confucius. Is not the alb
surd efforts OF the gold Democrats, Of the
Bryanites, and the Populists to commend
themselves to the world upon the idea
that they represent the theories Of Jetier-
son equally as ridiculous as the conduct Of
the followers of Confucius?
The world is moving, and during the
last fifty years its progress has been out OF
proportion to any other period in its his
tory. There has been development and
progress in everything. Why should
there not be advancement In the theories
of government? Does any man doubt
that if jefferson could have lived on to
this dav that he would have changed in
his views. Suppose ie WAS for free trade,
tbut we deny it), would he have held on to
that view in the face of the results that
have followed protective policy. Sup
pose he had been for the free, unlimited
coinage of silver hundred years ago,
(Which we dispute), would he still contend
for that kind of policy? Suppose he had
been opposed to territorial expansion,
(Which is not fact), would he have chung
tenaciously to that doctrine if he had
lived to witness the present conditions
that exist in the world of politics and COM
merce? No Jefferson was too profound
and too progressive in his spirit to stand
still. He did not belong to that class of
foolish men who take pride in saying
1--WE never change"

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

If manures are permitted to- remain
outdoors in the storm, it is estimated
that 60 per cent. of their value is leached
out.
Have tight gutter in the COW stables
to catch the liquid manure and absorb
it with leaf mold, cut straw, road dust,
etc.
Cattle destroy more pasture by tread
ing it down than they do by eating the
grass. Hence it is advised to divide the
pastures into several pots.
When fertilizers are necessary, the
wastefulness of letting the homemade
manure go to waste and buying arti-
fetal fertilizers should not be practiced.
Good pastures are valuable in one di,
rection that is not always thought of,
the COW does not need to wear herself
out in getting what she wants to eat.
She will pretty nearly DO this on thin
pasture.-Western PloIvman.

CHARMED BY A SNAKE.
Woman at Bar RarbOr Made Helpless by
the Reptile.

Colonel Z. w. Bass, of West Point, and
a payty of ladies who are spending the
summer at Bar Harbor, were enjoying an
afternoon at Schooner Head the other day
when one of the ladies suddenly called the
attention of another lady IN the patty to a
big snake directly behind hel.
The latter gancing over her shoulder,
saw the creature and fairly looked the
viper in the eyes. The snake was fully
four feet long and two inches or more
through and was of brownish color, with
white circles or rings on its back from
head to tip of the tail.
She says that the snake was most
lovely creature to look at, and that though
she is invariably afraid of snakes, her fear
vanished the instant she beheld it. In
stead of running away from it, as her com
panion did, she says that she was instant
ly fascinated by the snake, both by its
beauty and the Understandable something
in its eyes, which seemed to hold hcl
transfxed TO the spot as soon MS she be
held it.
Circling stealthily and wave-like about
her, never once taking lts eyes from hers
the snake lifted itself up like a spiral, with
its head poised nearly two feet from the
ground, and held the women motionles:
in its charm. This it repeated for 6
second time, coming still nearer to her be-
fore Colonel Bass came running back tc
her assistance.
Seeing the danger the lady was in, the
Colonel picked up large stick and began
u savage attack upon the serpent
Though he struck it several terrific blows
Colonel Bass was unable to kill the
charmer, and the snake finally slipped
noiselessly away and became los. 10 view

1t was some moments before the lady
wholly recovered from the spell and be
gan to realize the great danger she hac
been in. She is sure the snake meant tt
do her injury.-Boston Globe.

ALTeELD INDIGNANT

The Hon. John P. Altgeld has been
made very indignant by newspaper re-
port that he was in favor of'not making
the Is to l declaration prominent in the
next Democratic platform. Referring to
the interview in which he IVES reported to
have made that statement Mr.. Altgeld has
published card IN which he says;
$50 much of what purports to be an III
terview with me published in the Chicago
Record of this morning as makes ME say
that the party might weaken on the sub
ject of the ratio, or that the ratio might
be eliminated or relegated to the back
ground, is an Internal lie. There is abso-
lutely no excuse for the publication OF
such statement"
We are surprised at anyone thinking
for moment that Altgeld would favor
the abandonment of any of the ultra
planks of the Chicago. platform, when the
most extreme declarations of that plat
form we're framed at his dlctation. Be
sides, he and Mr.. Bryan all the while
have been agreed upon the silver question
and all the socialistic doctrines that were
embodied in the Chicago platform. Bryan
and Altgeld hold the same views and they
will enforce them at the next national con-
vention of their party.

lNslNeERE, UNCOURAGEOUS.

There is a lack on sincerity and mora
courage in the movement of the Demo-
ocratic League for Reform in Election of
United States Senators in Virginia. At
the meeting in Richmond, known as the
"May Conference" boldness was wanting
and evasion was prominent. 1t was pre-
tended that the movement was to correct
evils that existed elsewhere than in Virgil
MIA. The corrupt politics of other states
were referred to, especially of Ohio, Penn
sylva1ia and New York. If the meeting
was weak and fruitless it was because it
failed to do its duty in the right way
that is, attack the Martin machine which
the movement was primarily intended to
destroy.
The Executive Committee of the League"
has Just issued an address to the Demo-
cratic voters of Virginia, which is another
exhibition of moral and political cowardice.
This address assaults the present methods
for selecting United States Senators and
urges as reasons for a change the cor
ruption that prevails in other states. One
paragraph of the address is as follows:
''Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson,
and their illustrious successors in office
for years, were chosen to the Office Of
governor by the Virginia legislature, and
similar mode of selection was in vogue
in other States. At that period it would
have been simply impossible for such men
as Marcus A. Hanna, Of Ohio; Thomas
C. Platt, of New York; and Matthew
Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, to have
been members of that body"
Why didn't the "RefOrmers" in this
connection mention the name Of Thomas
Martin? This League is bold in attack
ing men and methods in other states, but
afraid to speak out boldly against the cor
ruption at home which 1t intends to over
throw, if it intends to do anything right
eous. No good can be accomplished by
indirection and insincerity. The dislike
to expose the rottenness in its own party
in Virginia must be overcome, or the re-
form movement will be failure and its
promoters laughed at.

The Gold Basis and Stability.
Indianapolis Journal" (Rep.).

Indianapolis Journal" (Rep.).
The country has been upon gold basis
sixty years, nevertheless it will give conf
dence to business to have the standard of
sixty years established by law. 1t is gra-
tifying to know that the Republican Con.
gress is quite certain to be unanimous in
favor of q measure which will require that
greenbacks in the Treasury shall not be
paid out except in exchange for gold.
When that is done there need be no fear
that those legal tenders can be used to en-
danger gold payments by the process
known as ''the endless chain" The
greenback is not menace now, and it
may not be again, but to put them where
they cannot be used to put the national
credit in jeopardy will De an act of
wisdom. This legislation will need no
defense with intelligent and fair-minded
people. No man in business desires to
have q recurrence of the uncertainty of
1895 and 1896. Continued business pros.
perity depends largely upon the soundnesS
of the public credit as represented by lie
circulating medium.
