The Farmers Good Time.

The Orange Judd Farmer, in it
annual farm stock report, says: "A'
compared with year ago there is at
increase in the number of every class
of farm animals in the United States
except mules, and coincident with
this increase in numbers is a very
substantial advance in the average
price per head Of all animals. The
returns show that not only has the
lawful shrinkage in this form Of
wealth between 1892 and 1896 been
recovered, but the aggregate valua'
ton Of all farm stock now passes any
previous record.
1.-THE low point in the valuation Of
farm animals was in January, 1896,
when, after four years Of shrinkage,
the aggregate had fallen to $780,
400, 900.
This year the total valuation is
reported 1865, LII, 900, an advance
from the depths Of the depression Of
$697, 69l, 900, or 81 per cent. The
advance in value during the past year
was the largest in any twelve months
since the tide turned upward
amounting to $343,05S,O00. The
number Of horses are reported at
1856, 900, an increase of one-half Of
! per cent during the past year;
mules at 2,240, 900, decrease of 1.2
per cent; cows at 10, $685. 900, an in
crease Of 81 per cent; other cattle at
80, 075, 900, an increase Of 1.3 per
cent, sheep at 42,S2O,000 and hogs
40, PAP, 900, an increase of 6 per cent.
The advance in average price per
head from the low point reached at
the depths Of the depression amounts
to 36 per cent for horses, 20 for
mules, so for COWS, rs for other cat
tie, S6 for sheep and p for hogs. In
the upward swing only cattle and
sheep have passed the previous best
,ecord OF prices per head"

The question is raised by a recent
supreme court decision in Maine as
to right Of congressional districts to
select delegates to the national con-
ventions. The decision holds that
electors and delegates are state
officers and only state conventions
may select them. II the condition is
50 it need make no difference for the
state convention may by a resolution
endorse or renominate the selections
Of the districts. The Republican
party believes in bringing such things
as close to the people as possible and
will not willingly delegate to a state
convention matters which custom has
given to districts.

This clear and succinct statement
of the Kentucky trouble from Dem

City Times. A prize is offered to the
person who car read it without a
pause for rest; "But the Republican
party is not a reputable one, unless
it is admitted that its leaders, like
Blatherskite Bill Bradley, the last
months of whose incumbency as gov
ernor of the state have been charac-
terized by appeals to violence on the
stump, incendiary advice to his adj
herents, and by ordering out the
militia in Louisville to terrorize and
intimidate voters at the polls, like
wholesale murderer Colson, who,
while in the capital of Kentucky for
the purpose Of leading armed Repub.
licans against Democrats in the event
Taylor was declared not entitled to
his seat by the duly constituted
authorities, slew three OF his fellow
citizens with his ready revolvers;
like Taylor, who imported 1000 mur-
derous mountaineers, armed to the
teeth, into Frankfort to terrorize the
Legislature out Of fulfilling its func.

Of Kentucky, in the election contests
between Goebel and Taylor"

The genial Mrs. Brigham Young
Quinze has enriched journalism with
few philosophic reflections concern
ing masculine warnings in matri-
monial way. "No man." remarked
this lady out OF her ripe experience,
"is really happy and contented with
only one wife. No man
ever heard of a Mormon man being
untrue to his wives or running off
with other women" Body Of an An
CORA cat Imagine man-Brigham
Young, for example-being untrue to
nineteen wives. Think of a gentle
man with happy harem Of nineteen,
with time enough-to say nothing Of
vitality and the so-called divine spark
to be untrue! 1t would seem to US
that man possessing six or eight
wives would be the soul OF truth and
constancy and with nineteen--reason
totters on its throne It would fur
Their appear that by the time gentle
man has walked about with nineteen
wives he would be incapacitated for
running off with other women, and
we presume that Mrs. Young Quinze
was fully justified in her conjugal
confidence. As TO her proposition
that no man is really contented with
only one wife, we do not feel at liber-
ty to argue. Some men may desire
more than one wife, some less; it is
all matter of disposition and exper.
fence. - Rose" Field.

"The situation in Kentucky is th
legitimate fruit Of the teachings {
Organism. Organism is made up
the most vicious doctrines OF tn
Democratic and Populist parties. 1t
purpose is to array section agains
section, capital against labor, EN-
ploye against his employer, and to d.
this it appeals to the dissatisfied
classes in every walk Of life. Bryan
ism goes upon the idea that what is
is wrong. 1t teaches the people tina
the rich are combined in malev0l
ent conspiracy to rob the poor. As
Stunning a superior virtue, it pro-
claims that the government is ar
organized conspiracy against the
masses for the purpose of robbing
them. Bryanism is an assault on
property rights elsewhere. Bryan
himself is cross between Demo-
crat and Populist, and although he
may be personally honest, his teach
lngs are wholly vicious.
81 cannot recall that any state in
recent years has been placed in such
an unfortunate condition as is Ken
lucky at the present time. No one
will defend assassination. The man
who shot Goebel is a criminal, but
Goebel and his followers were trying
to assassinate civil government in
Kentucky. 1t is astonishing that
there could be found in any state any
considerable number Of people who
would support him in his wicked
efforts to seize a great commonwealth
by such ruthless and unjustifiable
means. Any party in Kansas thai
should attempt to do what Goebel
has attempted would be left without
any following at all. To my mind it
is the Legitimate result Of the teach
ings of Organism.
1.-The remedy must be found
among the better class OF people
throughout the country. 1t is a fact
that our best brain in the country is
given over to business and neglects
politics. There must be a change.
The genius Of our government makes
It the duty Of every man, not only to
vote, but to give his best efforts to
politics. The publication Of politics
will become a reality and not an
iridescent dream so soon as the best
Drain and the best conscience Of the
lation attend to its political duty.
The accumulation Of property is
conducive to virtue instead Of vice in
most cases, and the sacred preserva-
ion of property rights must rest in
hi hands of the best people. 1t will
e happy day for all parties in this
ountry when Organism is effectually
tamped out, and look for that to
appen next November.
"kansas will never again support
ryan or Organism, said Mr.. Burton.
The Republican party in that state
i'll remain dominant for q long time,
nd it will not be threatened with
'rious opposition until Democracy is
'organized and purged OF Populism
I'd Organism. Our past defeats s
i'll prove blessings in disguise, for l

and better plane, and is in perfect
srmony with the national organiza-
On throughout the country. This

CHICAGO, June 12.-George Dixon and
Benny Yanger, the "Tipton Slasher,"
fought fast six ROUNDS to a draw at
Tattersalps tonight. Yanger surprised
even his most ardent admirers by his
excellent showing, as up to six months
ago he was a comparative novice in the
ring. He was rather nervous during the
first round, and Dixon had a shade the
best of it. After that however, Yanger
gained confidence, ana in the second
round made an even break of it. Yanger
had the best of the third round. and
landed some telling blows to Dixon's
body. The last three rounds were even
first one gaining the advantage and then
other.

the 1000 spectators by declaring it a
draw.

odds.
