TT is UP TO REPUBLICA

Idaho on the Ceur d'Alene ques.
ton. This being question which
in the minds of many does not vi
tally concern Republicans in a par.
ty sense, there is strong disposi-
ton to let it severely alone, and it
may be good politics" to do so,
but we very much doubt if it is
good sense or good morals. The
Ceur d'Alene question can no more
be eliminated from the local cam
paign, than can the Philippine
question from the National cam
paign, and there are points of sim
ilarity connected with these Incl
dents which are interesting to con-
slider. Broadly stated, nobody OBJ
jected to the sending Of Dewey to
Manila bay, his destruction of the
Spanish fleet and capture of the
Spanish garrison. Up to that
point, there was not the slightest
opposition to the policy of the
Washington Administration, but
vigorous opposition is made to ev-
cry subsequent act, and the last
Democratic platform is largely ded-
icated to denunciation Of the Re-
publican party for these subsequent
acts. Now, suppose the Demo-
cratic party had remained silent on
the whole Philippine question, what
would be the natural and unavoid-
able inference? It would have been
tantamount to an endorsement Of
every particular feature of the Re-
publican policy, and Democratic
orators would have made them
selves ridiculous if they had at
tempted to dec1airn against imper-
ialism while standing on platform
that was absolutely dumb on the
subject. Republicans will do well
to consider this view of the matter
when they come to disposing of the
the Cenr d'A1ene question. If the
Republican platform shall be silent
on the question it will mean the
endorsement of every act of the
State Administration in that con-
nection. And it would be more
honorable to express the endorse
ment than to smother it in political
cowardice. Silence in the Repub-
lican State platform will justly be
construed as specific endorsement
of the following things:
Arrest and imprisonment Of men
without legal charge;
Detention of such men indefinite
ly upon an assumption Of guilt and
finally setting them at liberty with
out even pretense of trial;
Continuing martial law in force
after the civil courts were open and
in the safe and peaceful perform
ance of their functions;
Establishment of courts for, the
conviction of the guilty and una
vailable for the acquittal of the in
nocent;
A so-called "perrnit system, y
which, in effect, amounts to a black
list, inaugurated and operated by
the State for the benefit of a private
corporation.
The Republican party has per
tect right to endorse these things il
1t wants to, but in the name ot
common decency, let it be done by
open expression so that the people
OF the State may know exactly
what to expect in case they shoulc
determine to vote the Republican
ticket. The Republican party, if i
would retain any degree of popular
respect and confidence, must be
straightforward and candid with
the people. 1t must have views
and not be afraid to express, them
1t must choose principles, not ex
pedlents, to stand upon. The ar

In too many instances factory men who complain of poor milk from their patrons assume 1t is because the patron Is determined not to do as we'll as he knows, says Hoard's Dairyman.
 We think poor milk is nearly always from the fact that the patron lacks knowledge of what constitutes good milk and lacks 1t in such a way that what he does know has but little effect on him. Get the desired knowledge into his mind once in thorough way, and It will hold him in most instances. At a recent dairy meeting in Listowel, Can ada, E. Agur, Brownsville, stated that the patron very often did not take care of his milk, because he did not know how. He gave personal experience In which he had shown & patron who had always sent inferior milk, and since that time the milk had always been excellent. In answer to a question as to the best way of teaching patrons, President Millar stated that the best way was for the maker to go and see the patrons himself and instruct them. Professor Dean thought that the only way, as the maker could not spare the time, was to employ a man to go about and give the necessary instructions. This, he said, was to a certain extent being done In eastern Ontario. Circu- lars and meetings did not reach the public they wanted to ge, at.

Packing Silaxe.

The item of greatest importance In packing silage Is to have a silo that will not allow carbonic acid gas to escape, says Hoard's Dairyman. This gas will go wherever water will go, and our silo should be tight enough in all It's joints to hold water. Silage would spoil very soon If 1t were not for the fact that in Its first fermentation carbonlc acid gas Is formed, which, being heav- fer than the air, displaces 1t, just as pouring water into a barrel expels the air. Without air, fermentation cannot proceed, and hence as long as this gas Is retained in the silo further fermen- tation is impossible. So, too, after the silage Is firmly compacted by settling, 1t Is impossible for the air to strike Into the mass beyond a few inches at most. unless there are, as there Is most likely to be, some portions where the settling has not been uniform and com- plete. To prevent this as much as pos sible We keep the silage highest next to the sides and partitions and tramp 1t down as much as possible If one has any cheaper material than the green corn. it is advisable to cover the top of the silage with 1t, as otherwise, by req son of exposure to the air, several inch. ss h depth on the top win bs xpoklsA

Inclined Electric Elevator Recently
 Built In New York.
 A radical and pleasing departure from the old style method of reaching elevated railroad stations is illustrated In the accompanying engraving. It shows an electric inclined elevator which has been installed at the down town station of the Manhattan Elevat- ed railroad at Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue, New York. The former stairway, which had a landing midway In the ascent, has been removed and the straight incline shown in the pho- tograph reproduced herewith substi- tuted. As can be seen, 1t Is divided longitudinally throughout its entire length, so that 1t can be used by both arriving and departing passengers, the two classes keeping to the right of each other in passing, as they would natu- rally do on a simple stairway. Ordinary steps are provided for those descend ing, as it was thought unnecessary to furnish an elevator for this purpose, says The Electrical World and Engi- neer of New York.
 The speed at which the platform runs Is little over 100 feet per minute, and 1t has a capacity of 5000 persons per hour. The surface of the incline con- sists of a series of shallow, longitudi-

INCLINED ELEVATOR.

nal. rubber covered ridges. which at the top pass between the prongs of comb shaped landing, on which the as- cending passenger Is left standing if he fails to step forward when the sta ton platform is reached. The elevator is operated by 71a horsepower motor placed conveniently under the station floor, access to which is had through a trapdoor. Instead of being geared to the upper drum, as was originally in- tended, the motor Is belted to the ele- vator. An idler pulley serves as belt tightener. By means of a pawl resting against the inside of the platform 1t is impossible for the elevator to move in a reverse direction, so that should the belt slip or any other accident occur there would be no danger of precipitat- ing the ascending passengers to the sidewalk. It is claimed that the power used Is very small when the elevator is not occupied and increases in propor- ton to the number of passengers be- ing carried

Does Cutting Promote Growth of
 Hairf

This question is answered by the Frankfurter Wochenblatt In this wise: Tt is believed by laymen and profes- sional hairdressers that cutting largely increases the growth of the hair. This belief begins with the involuntary com parison of the hair with a plant. AS grass that is often cut short grows again and becomes thicker, so, 1t is be- lieved, the hair should do when 1t Is cut. This comparison, however, is false one. A developed hair Is per fectly formed mass of horn which has nothing further to do with the case in which the hair rests than to receive from 1t from below further growth and to be held firmly by 1t. In this mass of horn, as in the nails of the fin- gers and the toes, there Is no longer any sap in circulation. This mass, so to speak, is a product which cannot be quickened and strengthened by new nourishment because the latter cannot enter 1t. On the other hand, what hap pens in a blade of grass Is totally diff ferent. The blade of grass Is a net work of fine ducts in which is con 
 which the blade draws from the root. It presents, in contrast with the dead body of the hair, living vegetating substance which has most intimate connection with the condition of its root and which dries up infallibly when 1t is separated from its root, while the hair will remain unaffected for thousands of years after its papilla has withered away. We need cite only one irresistible proof of this-the hair on the heads of mummies. The root of the hair as long as 1t exists can produce a new hair when the old hair has fall en out, while the root of many & plant gives existence to one sprout only and then, together with 1t. declines and dies. The more a hair is disturbed in It's natural growth by continually cut ting or It's ends the less rest its papil- la, the real producer of the hair, finds. The papilla, being constantly melted to excessive production. wavers finally In its activity, decays and dies. For this reason a woman with a bald head Is never or seldom seen, as the natural and very slow process of the growth of a woman's hair is not disturbed. The individual hair reaches a definite length, and after years 1t falls out of itself. and new hair begins to appear as soon as the papilla has had time to rest itself thoroughly and to prepare itself for the process of new growth. These are the reasons which lead to the obviously valid conclusion that cut ting the hair Is rather injurious than uspfr,l O

 The town of Cornwall, during the past 10 years, has decreased in popula tion to the amount of 1O5 The infer enoe to be gathered from this is that if we are to maintain our present ratio of population it must be by concentra- ton into the villages. To form a more compact center of population for our town is difficult problem and only to be obtained by the location of manufac- turing industries. Cornwall has pecul- jar advantages for the establishing of manufactories. The Housatonic river at this place is so situated that a vast amount of water could be harnessed and thus utilized at 8 small cost. We have an area that could furnish location for several factories provided they could be offered suitable inducements to To. cate. What Cornwall needs is board of trade whose business would be to endeavor to have concerns who are look. ing for suitable places to locate, look at our natural advantages and endeavor to make some arrangement so that they would build here. We certainly have some men in our community who can realize the advantages that factory, giving employment to 50 men, would afford to our town at rge. Suppose i, was even necessary to give as bonus to such manufacturers free taxes for 15 years for locating in our town. The | market benefit to our farmers would offset any loss by reason of taxation. Then again such an establishment would pay at least S5, ,000 per month in salar ies and it would mean the building oi | more houses and a boom in general tc our town. The question before oui I town then, is whether we cannot use our talents in starting such movement Talk the matter over and be ready to meet on December 1st, here to organize the board of trade. The movement should be backed by the infuentia moneyed men of our town.

The Season.. Lesson. For Dairymen

The Seasons Lessons For Dafrymen.
 E. l.. Vincent of New York, writing In The American Agriculturist, says: The season just ending has many les sons for the thoughtful man. One of them is that general farming Is in the long run most reliable. In many parts of the country dry weather has very materially shortened the hay crop. Where men did not foresee the coming trouble and put in liberal pieces of corn to supplement the shortage In hay winter stares them In the face with empty mows and an abundance of stock on hand. This stock must either be carried through cold weather on grain or turned off at loss. The re- suit Is cattle are very low in price. Not once in a lifetime do we see COWS selling as cheaply as at the present time In those sections which were most seriously affected by the drought. Good cows coming into milk in the spring are today worth only from s15 to S20 a head, and many are selling for even less than that. Calves, sheep and lambs go along with cows In price.
 If we had been little more cautious about getting overstocked with cows, we would be better off. The pendulum has been swinging toward dairying for a few years back, and now we are caught. We must get out the best way we can. But should we not firmly resolve that hereafter we will not run 30 largely to one branch of farming Mixed farming Is the safest. Again, we should learn from the experience of this year that 1t Is wise to be prepared for any kind of season that may chance to come. It Is said that any fool knows enough to carry an umbrel- Ia when 1t rains. It is a wise man who takes one along when the sky Is fair. Who could have foretold last spring that the hay crop would be so nearly a failure In 1900? If we had all known that, we would surely have planted a good piece of corn. But we didn't know 1t, and many of us are sad. ly lamenting the fact now.
