to 20 per cent Of the American tariff

sa' were submitted TO the house to
day. The republicans OF the COM,

sets, agreed to the report to support
the bill, devoting a considerable nor.
tion of their argument to sustaining
the contention that the clause in the
constitution, declaring that "all du-
ties on imports and excuses shall be
uniform throughout the United States
Is not applicable to our new possess
sions which they say are not United
States territory within the meaning of
that declaration.
The democrats, together with New.
lands, of Nevada, took the contrary
view; Mccall the dissenting republI-
can, practically holds with them. but
he made a separate report saving he
cannot support the bill, because II

A Great Disappointment

Was the meeting last Saturday night to
the .'Young Mems Republican Club OF
the Sixth District" The rains descended
and the winds blew and beat upon that
club, and its hopes fell, and great was the
fall thereof. The three speakers who had
been advertised were all on hand and
ready for business when the hour for
meeting struck, but few were willing to
face such storm to hear their eloquent
pleas.
The finely draped stand built in front
of Morrison & Whites grocery had to be
abandoned and refuge taken in the town
hall where the meeting was held. About
seventy-five persons, probably less, gath
cred in from the town and listened to the
speakers. The band played few tunes
to enliven the dreary meeting, but the
marching club that had been so carefully
trained to keep step to the rub-a-dub of
the drum, couldn't face the angry
elements.
Boys, dame nature was only giving you
a premonitory hint of the greater disap-
pointment in store for you on the 9th OF
November.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iilaanled condi.
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets inAam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
heariug will be destroyed forever; nine
cases ont of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi.
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

Mr.. Nicholas Steel has obtained 836
names to his petition and his name will
be placed on the official ballot, as a can
didate for Congress in the Second District
in opposition to J. Fred c. Talbot, reg

that Mr.. Steel was the Democratic nom-

employed. He is running this year, not
with the hope of being elected but to
defeat Talbot if possible.
1t is given out that Mr.. Steele's name
will be placed on the Democratic ticket
under the Presidential electors. If that
is true every straight vote, viz: cross on
the square beside the emblem, will be a
Congressional dead vote, counting neither
Talbot or Steel. and send Talbot far be-
hind his ticket, making sure the election
of the Republican candidate. Blakeney.
Perhaps this is the chief object of the

Using in the Baltimore Sun, Cecil Demo-

The Real Reason for Larger Army
To Keep the Laboring rlan
In Subjection.'

The laboring man asks for arbitration
and gets large army; he asks relief from
government by injunction and gets a
large army; he asks protection from the
blacklist and his answer is a large army;
he asks for shorter hours of labor in order
that he may have more time with his
family and for the development ofhis
mind, and his answer is large army; he
asks for representation in the Presidents
Cabinet in order that labor may be pro-
tected, and his answer is large army.
That is the domestic reason which is
not given, and yet it is reason enter
tanned by many. What is the reason they
givef They say we need it for our for
eign policy, but, my friends, they asked
for the army before the American people
had ever decided upon foreign policy

had but bare fields, which had been reduced by
the hot weather and severe drought. These old
pastures being reserved during this time, the
recent rains have resuscitated them and given us
abundance all the fall.
The cattle at first showed a disposition to pass
over the beans but after the first day they found
they were edible and devoured them greedily.
They grow persstently tho eaten or cut off, and
believe would furnish pasture late in the fall.
We plowed ours under as mulch for the wheat
after harvest was over.
Hungarian is frequently sowed to splice out
short hay crop but even this is not much needed
with good ensilage.
Oats are crowded out except in small way for
horse feed. In fact they have no reckoning with
the dairy except for straw.
In seeding our wheat our aim is to prepare our
ground SO that we may be assured of q thorough
sett of clover. This is commenced with the corn
crop in applying liberal application OF lime to
each newly .broken sod, putting four hundred
bushels each spring on about ten acres. This we
believe from experience to be essential for the
lime so acts and neutralizes the acids of the soil
in such manner that the young heterogeneous
clover plant finds ready food for its tender roots
and gives 1t a vigorous start. We then want to
pillow down as much mulch as we can get from
our crimson clover and COW peas after our cattle
have had their portion, soon as practicable after
harvest. and thus get thoroughly settled seed
