HAS DONE VERY WELL
IS NOT THIS TRUE OF THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARITY
Has the Democratic Party Ever Done
as Well? Never in All Its History.
Can It Do as Well? There is No
Reason to Believe Il Can or Will.

An admirable beginning of the cam
paign which is to terminate in the
election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks
was made at the great ratification
meeting held under the auspices Of
tho Republican club of the City of
New York in the large hall of the
Cooper Union on the evening of June
30. Among the speakers was Hon.
John M. Thurston, former United
States senator from Nebraska. The
Republican club did well to bring
from his retirement this famous
orator and stalwart champion Of
sound Republicanism. Mr.. Thurston
never fails to say something worth
hearing and worth remembering, but
he has seldom struck a finer vein Of
useful thought than when he took
for his principal theme the PROPOSE
ton that
"The Republican party has done
tolerably WE'LL"
With master strokes he rapidly
sketched the splendid achievements
in recent years Of the party of prog
ress and prosperity. Especially i'm
pressive was his statement of what
the Republican party has done toward
enhancing the moral and material
welfare Of the people Of the United
States. Said Mr.. Thurston:
"As we look over the history of
the last several years, the fruitful his
tory of Republican administration, it
seems to me that the American peo-
pie must say that the Republican
party has done tolerably well. We
find that our farmers and our planters
have raised crops such as they never
had before. They have fed our own
people-they have fed the millions
of the outside world. Home con-
sumption and the ability to buy and
foreign demand have given them the
best prices they ever received. We
look abroad throughout the land and
we find that in these seven years our
manufactures have increased to q
wonderful degree. We find that our
people are busy-that they are at
work; that there is no idleness, and
general prosperity abides in the land.

ing the tariff question to the front, If
they do this. Two or three Democrats
in Congress have been making anti
tariff addresses recently. with the in
tention of using them as campaign
documents. The Republicans will be
glad to assist the Democrats in dis
seminating all Of that sort Of lltera-
ture that they will want to send out.
The tariff is pretty old issue. 1t
has been talked about in many can
vases. In several campaigns 1t has
turned the scale. For a great many
years the Republican party has stood
out sturdily for a tariff which will
give adequate protection to American
interests. For many of those inter-
ests the Republicans have been able
to secure considerable protection. All
the interests that deserve aid Of this
sort at the custom house the Repub-
lican party will defend. Let the Dem
ocrats be under no illusions on that
point. The Republican party would
be very glad to see the issue Of pro-
lection brought to the front by the
Democrats. The wiser members of
the Democracy know there is peril
for their party in assailing the tariff.
but perhaps some of the tenderfoot
leaders of 1904 may be deluded into
making an assault on this system.
Several excuses were made for Han
cocks defeat in 1880, but the tariff
was the real cause of his overthrow.
It was the Mills bill, which never
passed, that laid out Cleveland in
1888. The Republicans do not need
the tariff as an aid in 1904, but they
will accept It IL the Democrats are
obliging enough to furnish it. Under
the Republican tariff Of 1897 the coun-
try has sad a prosperity almost with
out example in its annals. II the
Democrats want to assail this act.

MoIasses for MIX Production.

Molasses for milk production is per
haps a new idea with most Of our
readers. In various parts of the tropi.
cal lands where molasses is very
cheap, being by-product OF the sugar
mills, 1t is being fed quite extensively.
II we can speak of any dairy opera
ton being extensive in a land where
dairying is little practiced. In Eng.
land and some other European coun-
tries experiments are being made with
1t, as 1t is quite cheaply obtained in
some localities near beet sugar fac
tories. 1t Is not fed clear, but Is
mixed with various absorbents, among
which are sphagnum moss and ground
corn stalks. 1t can be fed only to the
extent of one and two pounds day,
but is said to be very palatable and to
be greatly liked by the cows. Proba-
bly, if dalrying develops much in the
South, especially in the cane growing
regions, we will hear of the increased
use of this by-product for the feeding
of dairv cows, as 1t is now being quite
extensively used in the feeding or
horses.

Culture Of the Rose.

Rose cultures beginning goes bach
beyond records. The flower is men,
toned in the earliest Coptic manu-.
scripts. India's traditions take the
rose to the times of the gods on earth.
Egypt had roses, wild and tame, before
the Roman occupation made It, In a
way, Rome's commercial rose garden:
yet, curiously enough, there is no ref
erence to the flower in painting, sculp-
ture or hieroglyphics. Japan, in our
time, parallels Egypt. Roses flourish
there, but do not serve as motif for
artists. There Is this further like
ness-neither Egypt nor Japan has q
rose song. or love song proper.

Lousy Swine.

Because the hog Is a thick-shnned
animal the impression prevails among
farmers that he is little likely to be
troubled with lice. In fact, we have
known farmers that never in their
lives did anything to assist the hogs
in Kidding themselves of vermin. Yet
1t often happens that lice get onto
swine in such number as to greatly
check the growing of the pigs, and the
well-being Of the old hogs is also af-
fected by the same cause. The pres
ence Of lice is sometimes not noticed
till some Of the hogs get weak enough
to die and some do die. Lice Of any
kind on any kind of animals can be
killed by applying grease; for by the
grease the breathing pores Of the
vermin are stopped up. Yet this work
must be supplemented by a thorough
cleaning of the quarters inhabited by
the swine.

Fatal Music,

Richard Mansfield is a stickler for
every little point in the presentation
Of his plays, but now and then the
unexpected happens in such a way as
to provoke a smile from one who is
not considered the most humorous Of
actors. In the final scene of "a Peri
sian Romance" Mansfield as Baron
Chevrial, falls dead at supper, amid
the talking and music. The doctor in
the play calls out: stop the music.
The Baron is dead!" and the curtain
tails.
On one occasion Mansfield was play
ing one.night stand in small coun-
try town where the music Of the local
orchestra was atrocious. At the sup
per scene Mansfield fell dead as usual,
but the actor who was playing the part
Of the doctor cried out;
"Stop the musicl 1t has killed the
Baron!"
Even Mansfield smiled.

To Time.


o Time! who know'st a lenient hand to
lay
softest on sorrows wound. and slow
ly thence
LullIng to sad repose the weary
sense
The faint pang stealest, unpercelved
away;
On thee I rest my only hope at last,
And think when thou hast dried the
bitter tear
That flows in vain DER all my soul
held dear.
I may look back on every sorrow past.
And meet llfes peaceful evening with
smile
As some lone bird, at days departing
Sings in the sunbeam of the transient
shower.
Forgetful, though Its wings are wet the
while;
Yet, ahl how much must that poor heart
endure
which hopes from thee. and thee alone,
a cure!

Anolent speclmens Of Glass.

The Oldest specimens Of glass, says
an authority on curious information,
are traced back from 1900 to 1900
years before Christ. These are Of
Egyptian origin. Transparent glass
Is believed to have been first used
aout $50 years before the Christian
era. It was introduced into Rome in
the time Of Cicero and reached a re-
markable degree Of perfection among
the Romans, who produced some Of
the most admirable specimens Of glass
ever manufactured; an instance is the
famous Portland vase in the British
Museum. Glass was not used for
windows until about A. d. SOO.-Har-
per's Weekly.

Different Kinds Of Dairy Associations.
There are a good many kinds Of
dairy associations, most of them en-.
tirely trustworthy and others not so
much so. In the main, when dairy
men go into an association it is with
some high object in view. We notice
by the dairy exchanges that in Wis
consin an association is trying to
come into existence that is looked up
on with good deal of suspicion by
men engaged in dairy work in the
state. The cause of suspicion is al
ways found in some way of making
money for the promoters. In this
case the association, which is for but.
ter and cheese makers, starts out to
get 1000 members each one of which
is to pay S. entrance fee and 81 per
year. The officers of the association
are to have for their compensation
such fees and dues as remain after
paying operating expenses. In the
case of securing 1000 members this
would mean receipts the first year Of
at least $4,000, which might leave
very handsome purse to be divided
between the three or four men that
comprise the officers. An investiga.
ton into the personnel of the associa.
ion showed that none of the officers
were engaged in the making Of but
ter and cheese, one being a station
agent, another hotel keeper and an
other postmaster. The intentions of
the organizers may be of the best, but
they will certainly be under suspicion
till they have proved that they are
not trying to work simply a money
making scheme.

How Air Affects Cream.

A French savant claims to have
found out that air affects cream very
detrimentally on account Of the oxy-
gen in it. Perfectly pure air he would
have us believe so affects the upper
layers Of cream that has stood for any
time that to get the best results in the
matter Of flavor these layers must be
SKINNED of and not used in the max
ing of butter. This is drawing the line
very close. and we are not sure that
he is right. In fact our scientists have
looked into these matters very care.
fully and are Of the opinion that per
fectly pure air does not affect cream
detrimentally. There is, however,
room for further investigation.

A man is liable to make mistakes
during his honeymoon. Our was six
months old when made mine. Ruth
and had just come out Of the West,
where we had wooed and welded, to
settle down not many miles from her
old home. II was beautiful little
New England town, Just the place for
a charming girl like Ruth to live In.
Furthermore, we had taken an artistic
little cottage and, to make everything
complete, we were to have a jolly
house warming, that might meet
some Of Ruths friends and relatives,
especially the members Of her old
whist club.
All the forenoon we had been in a
whirl Of preparation, for we were to
meet the party on the five O'Clock
train, and there were the butcher, the
baker, and the modern substitute for
the candlemaker, to be urged into ac-
tivity. Then about half past three
Ruth discovered that hand mirror
was wanted, and posted off down town
after 1t, remarking that Cousin Alice
was most particular about her back
hair, and never could get along with
out that glass.
Hardly had she turned the corner Of
the next street when a telegram ar
rived bearing her address. With that
half-guilty feeling that newly mar
ried man has on assuming such priv
ileges, | opened 1t and read:

one of Ruth's numerous relatives, and
that 1t was my bounden duty to go
to meet him.

any stray man who might act as If he
were looking for some one.
There was such a male. His narrow
face with dark side whiskers vaguely
reminded me of somebody. He acted
like stranger, too, so rushed up
to him.
II am Mr.. Crosby" said I. "Are you

He said he was looking for Mrs.
Ruth Crosby.
Then it's all right" said l, "for

We chatted pleasantly until we
reached the house. Then we sat
down in the ample Shaker rockers on
the piazza and proceeded to become
acquainted. AS If to facilitate mat
ters, Theodore suggested smoking.

produced his cigarette case, and |
