EDITORIAL rIENTi0N.
Political Insincerity.

1t would seem that the Demo-
Gratis, who are holding Hon. JOS.
c. Sibley up TO ridicule and scorn
for as they allege, scattering the
''long green" in corrupt way, in
the interest of his election to Con-
gress, are condemning themselves
as severely as they are Mr.. Sibley.
Less than two years ago these
Warren Democrats spurned the
idea Of Mr.. Sibley using money for
his election. We do not know
whether Mr., s1ibley used money in
a wrong and corrupt way or not.
But these Democrats now say he
did. And if he did many of these
Warren Democrats helped him do
it.
1t ill-becomes the pot to call the
kettle black. or those who live in
glass houses to throw stones. At a
meeting in Warren last fall Mr..
Sibley resented the charge that he
was using money improperly and
the whole Democratic party in
Warren responded with loud and
a long drawn out "Amen." ."
If you will take up the Evening
Democrat, Fridays issue, you will
read, in the editorial column, about
the whole game which is there ex-
posed. Mr. Sibley could not have
scattered his money in d corrupt
way if he had not had agents to do
it for him, taking for truth the
statements Of the Democrat that he
did so. Who were those agents?
Persons that did not belong to the
Democratic party? Or were they
imported for the purpose?
The distribution of Mr.. Sibley's
money, who gave it out, for what
purpose, under what circumstances
and conditions, who got it, ETC..
would make an interesting story, if
some one, who was in the mystic
circle, would write it up and give
it to the public If Mr.. Sibley
soiled his political garments in the
mud, there are others who were as
deep in the mire.
Now if these Democrats who are
50 liberal with their information
about Mr.. Sibley would tell us
something about the persons who
did this work for ''Honest joe"
and expose the whole scheme, they
would be doing a commendable
public act and the state and dis
trict a benefit.
If Mr.. Sibley had come forward
rs the Democratic candidate he
would be the same old "IIonest
joe" but as he has not done so he
IS Honest joe no longer. De-
mocracy, Democracy, thy name is
lnsincerity, lnconsistency-an any
thing to geo the offices. Warren

The old negro woman when taken
to the hospital declined to tell any
thing of his parentage. Her name is
Lucy Mason, and the little white boy
took her name. This faithful old negro
''mammy' had worked and toiled for
the boy, until she broke down in
health. Then the little fellow neglect
ed his school, stayed away from his
Sunday school, and took care of her,
until he was obliged to go upon the
streets and beg for aid. Woman and
child were apparently devotedly at
tached to each other, and both of them
cried when they were separated.
The officers of the police force and
the ladies of the missionary society
shook their heads and admitted that
in all of their experience with fallen
and suffering humanity they had never
known nor heard of such a case. The
old negro woman said that the child
was given to her to keep, that she knew
its parents, but she would not give
their names nor say anything which
would enlighten the authorities. She
said that she knew she was dying, and
she would die contented if she could

THE SHEPHERD DOG,
When Properly Trained, He Is of In
estimabIe Value to General Farm
ers and Stock Raisers.

My way is, first, to have pure bred
pup, not mongrel. AS soon as it is old
enough put it to work. If you have no
work for him to do you have no bust
ness with shepherd dog. They must
have something to do. Take him with
you among all kinds of stock, and he
will soon get accustomed to the differ
ent duties that belong to him, and he
will become eager and anxious to do it.
If he is headstrong, or wants to go too
far, or go to the head instead of heels.
make a close-fitting halter of wool or
binder twine and have enough string
to let the dog go just as far as you want
him to go and no farther. Make him
stop at your command. Be prompt and
resolute, but never whip or abuse;
chastise, if necessary, by pulling the
ears or cutting a little, but be careful.
Teach him to have confidence in you
and in himself.
AS soon as you make him understand
what you want him to do help him to do
it as near right as possible, and caress
him, to let him know he has done right.
Always tell the dog what you want him
to do and make him understand, if pos
sible, before you start him out, and if
you dfG careful GU cdu NOEh HlH Dy
the motion of the hand if he is too far
away to hear your voice. The main
thing is to be patient, and, above all,
keep your temper. Have but one boss
for the dog.
[ have two as fine bred sluts as there
are in the state, well trained, and one
dog, but he is too old now for much
good. I can take either of them and
drive more stock with less labor and
with less friction than if had six boys
or that many impatient men about. IF
you will come and stay with me one
week and see what good shepherd dog
can do, and is willing and glad to do,
you will be surprised. [ can work them
half mile away if they can see my mo-
tons. They mind me at the first bid
ding. If horse, COW, hog or sheep
gets out of place he must get back,
whether I am around or not. They
know what is right or wrong almost as
well as a human being does. A good
deal depends on the breeding of the dog
and the patience of the owner. The
shepherd dog is given up to be the best
farm or all-arOund dog that lives.-Ohio

The IDEA Of a Crank.

There is talk of continuous asphalt
road from New York to Chicago, via
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
etc. It is estimated that such a road
can be built for $4,000 900, but where
the money is to come from is not stated.
No one wants a toll road, and the sew
eral states are not likely to tax them
selves for such luxury, so it must be
the national government that is ex-
pected to foot the bill. The trouble
would be that every other section of the
union would Immediately demand
similar road, and in consequence the
expense would loom up so tremendous
ly that the whole project would have to
be abandoned. 1t is not likely that we
will ever get good roads on the whole
sale plan; they will come gradually as
all reforms do.

HOW TO CURE MEAT.
Something which Everybody Think.
He Knows, But which Only a Few
Do in the Right Way.

One important item in curing meat
OF all kinds is to lay it out in cool
place, where there is a good circula-
ton of air, until the animal heat is
thoroughly cooled out.
There is a process of sugar-curinp
pork that requires that the salt, sugar
and spices be rubbed in while the meat
IS still warm, but it requires experience
TO DO the work properly, and the av-
erage farmer can hardly afford TO run
the risk of failure.
Generally at this season there is little
difficulty in thoroughly cooling out
meat If it is spread out over night.
Meat should not be allowed TO freee
before it is salted, as it will not take
salt while frozen. The salt is apt to
form IN cakes ever the meat, and I'M
less looked after when a few warm
days come the meat will be certain to
spoil. In applying the salt the best
plan is to take a quantity in the hand
and rub it on the meat.
This will cause the meat to take salt
more readily than if it is simply sprin-
Killed. over ii. After rubbing we'll lay the
meatln the box or on the shelf arranged
Tor 1t and sprinkle it literally with salt:
II the weather is moderate so that the
meat is not frozen it is best to go over
it second time in a week or ten DAYS.
rubbing as at first, and then sprinkle
again. If the weather is cold enough
to keep the meat frozen this may be
done in few days after the wather
moderates.
When meat is picked instead of dry
sailed the brine should be made as
strong as possible and should fully COW
er the meat. In three days the brine
should be drawn off and either fresh
brine put on or the old brine be boiled
and the scum that rises to the surface
skinned off and then when cool poured
back.
In both brine and dry sailing the
addition of some sugar, saItpeter and
pepper will improve the quality of the
meat as well as aiding in preserving it.
Allowing the meat to remain in salt
too long has a tendency to make the
lean part hard and unpalatable. When
ever sufficiently salted it should be
hung up and smoked and then packed
down. If this is done before the warm
weather comes the risk of loss will be
| greatly lessened--St. Louis Republic.

A CROSS SECTION.

space to be used as scratching groom
or pen. The inside doors, or those over
the roosts, are arranged so as to shut
down flush with the edge of dropping
boards. During cold weather these
make a cupboard-like arrangement for
the hens to roost in, while in summer
the doors are left hooked up at all times,
which leaves the roosting place practi-
cally as cool as would)be an open shed.
(See cut.)
Small windows for light and ventila-
ton are put in front of each roosting
room, and one on each side of the shed
part. The laying nests are arranged
around these latter pens. In buildings
of this kind we can scatter the birds
about the farm on the colony plan with
out having any yards. Where it was
necessary to confine the flock the
house could set in an Enclosure or have
adjoining yards.
The pullets that were housed in this
building in November were quite small
and immatured Barred Plymouth
Rocks, but with these lodgings they de-
veloped rapidly and commenced laying
early, keeping up a remarkable egg
yield throughout the entire season. I
have another iean-to-shed fixed up after
the same principles, with only one pen;
the pulIets in this shed were the best
layers on the farm last winter.
I have spent over 20 years of my life
in connection with practical poultry
keeping and different methods and have
yet to learn of a better plan to keep
hens in a laying condition during the
winter mOnths.-D. j. Lambert, in
Farm Journal.

they marched through that storm of

and abuse upon them.
"The men were brought up in close

der one of the high buildings some one
threw heavy 2O-foot beam from the

them insensible to the ground.

from around the corner, and as they
were now allowed to retaliate Capt.
Follansbee turned to companies G. and
D and ordered them to fire.
with a mighty cheer they raised
their guns and let drive straight into
the crowd.
''Davis, the young swell who had
been SO offensive to them, was the first
man to fall, and later examination
showed II bullets in his body.
''It was not long after that before the
mob dispersed, and Baltimore people
tell US now that we can have no idea of
the number of that mob that we killed.

flowers thrown at us, too, but the trou-

WAR TIME EXPERIENCES.

"Reminiscences of Old Time

''In one of the forced marches of that

exhibited so many of the peculiarities
of an insane man that he was sent to
Washington. L was then a sergeant,
and was detailed to take the poor fell
low through. He had never been vio-
lent, and it was supposed that one man
would have no difficulty in controlling
him. But it was long journey in box
cars, ia boats, and finally, in the last
stage of the journey, in a Pullman
sleeper.
''Whiie we were travelling in box

upon me, and on one occasion nearly
made good his escape. On the boat he
represented that was the prisoner and
he was my guard, and kept me in hot

him over to the provost marshal and
slept for two days. Then I was called
to the prison, informed that my man
had become so violent no one could ap-
proach him, and that he had turned the
water on in his cell and was flooding
the prison.
81 went at once to the cell, asked
Charley what was the matter, and he,
walking around in water in his bare
feet, said that he was indignant at be-
ing put in such place, and he wanted
to get out. I informed him that I had
come to take him out. He put on his
clothes without murmur and walked
with me to an ambulance waiting to
take US to the asylum. In sight of the
building, he rebelled, but we drove hur7
riedly through the gates and delivered
him to the authorities. He was kept
there for six months and was dis
charged as cured, went home to his fam
lily, and showed no signs of insanity
until one day he was out on the Ohio
river with his sisters, when he suddenly
arose, jumped into the water, and was
drowned. My experience with that
poor fellow was harder than any ever
had in battle, and I was two months in

DARK SIDE OF LIFE.
Strange Hospital Incident Which
Furnishes Food for Thought.
Leroy Mason, Reared by an Old Col
Ored Servant, After Mnmmy's
Death Becomes His Real Moth
er's "AdOpted Son."
[special washington Letter.l

Very many strange things hap
zen in large cities, and the tell
ing of them all would fill vast
libraries with stories of real life, and
-'of the making of books there would
he no end"
The founding asylums are interest
ing places to those who are inclined
to reflection and contemplation, be-
cause therein we see the beginnings
of the lives of men and women who
are to take their places in the affairs
CT the immediate future. No matter
how well the waits may be reared,
they never know the real meaning of
the word ''home.' They see other
children with fathers and mothers,
but tkey must live in ignorance of
their own ancestry. That one thought
alone incites the mind to pity and
compassion.
Men forget their children and de-
eert their wives in the mad race of
life. Women cling to their offspring
as long as they can hold them to their
breasts. They also cling to their hus-
bands ''for better or for worse" even
after they have found them to be
much worse than they could have an
-ticipated. Therefore it is that we
have such deep sympathy for both
mother and child when they are de-
Eerted. But no human being can
FULLY realize the condition of a little
one bereft of both father and mother.
Not long ago there came to one of
the hospitals of this city a negro
woman of middle age, bearing in her
Grms a white child only few weeks

for herself because she was sick and
threatened with malarial fever. The
negro woman was given a cot in the
free ward and the white child was
taken IL charge by one of the nurses.
The woman soon became deiriOus
and was seriously i'll with typhoid
fever. Two months passed away be-
fore she was able to leave the hos
pital. She said that the baby had
been given to her to care for, but she
would not tell the name of its par
-entS.
When she was able to leave the hos
pitaI she asked permission to go to
her rooms to get new clothing for the
white baby, saying that she would
return within an hour. She was per-
mitted to go. Two weeks have passed
away and she has not returned. The
little waif was finally turned over 10
the care of sisters of charity in charge
of an orphan asylum. 1t will grow
to manhood and never know who
were its father and mother.
Of course the child will never know
the true meaning of the word ''home, -
and what the future portends for it
nobody can dare to foretell.
The average reader will say that
there are thousands of such cases.

Reminiscence of Gettysburg.

Aged Mrs. Spencer, who goes about
on crutches as the result of being
wounded in the thigh by a spent grape
shot, came slowly back to headquar-
tiers after the recent parade. She hob
bled up the steps and was just enter
ing the door as a younger woman was
passing out. They stopped and looked
into each others faces a moment. "Are
you Mrs. Almina Spencer?" asked the
younger To an affirmative reply she
cried: Don't you know me? I'm the
little girl, eight years old, who helped
you on the field at Gettysburg" Mrs.
Spencer nearly wept with delight. It
brought all of that terrible time back
to her when she arrived, the first wom-
an on the field, to care for the dying
and cheer the living. But her most ex-
citing experience was during the bat
tie of the Wilderness, when she waded
through mud all night long, walking
over ground that was slippery with
blood, to carry bread and meat and cof-
fee to the soldiers in the f1eld.-Phila-
