Democrats We're loud in their boasts
that no white man would ever be dis
franchised by any law enacted by
them. Hundreds of white men have
lost their vote by not meeting the
poll tax obligation by May 1st. The
point is, Democratic consistency. in
saying one thing and doing another.
1t was not necessary, under their
promise to make poll tax qualifi-
cation Union Republican.
That 100000 to $780, 900 deficit
in the State Treasury this year is a
fact Democratic candidates for Office
will have to explain on the hastings

to read between the lines. The bag
from which sand has hitherto been
thrown into their eyes is about
empty. The State has been excep-
tionally prosperous and tax valua-
tons have increased proportionately
Owing to various causes, times are
not SO good now and receipts will
naturally fall off rather than in
crease. Any one with a pencil can
figure the result, if Democratic

ated at the above rate. While it is
question of politics indirectly it
is more directly a matter of dollars

Shenandoah Oct 22.--J B.. Arm
strong, of this county, this year, I'M
der the most adverse circumstances,
that might be regarded as in great
measure answering the query of the
make farm life worth living Mr..
Armstrong Is both systematic and
scientific farmer, and does not know,
nor do any of the members of his FAM
lily know, of anything that is the mat
ter with farm life.
Mr.. Armstrong; farm lies along the
Nishnabotna river. and during thu
early months this year, the fertile land
was all under water for a greater part
of the time, and just at time when
cultivation meant either loss or sue
cess in getting a crop. After they
had planted 100 acres of corn--he
raises corn for seed mostly--he put in
twenty-five acres of potatoes. Espec-
ial care was taken with the seed in
both instances, as the winter corn
show at Omaha and elsewhere, was in
mind. When the corn was knee high,
the floods came. and from the first part
of June until July 10. they were I'M
able to get into the fields. most of the
land being entirely submerged.
Wtfbnl,f stnnninfr n the loss
or to become discouraged, Mr.. Arm
strong watched the foods destroy his
crop, while he made plans for recov
ering lost ground. and on July 10, when
the waters had receded sufficiently to
permit teams to work in the ground,
they began planting corn again. To
hurry matters-and here is where Mr..
Armstrong showed his system AMI
science--he soaked his seed in tepid
water over night. The corn was plant
ed July 10, and cultivated for the first
time July Is. AS the waters continued
to recede. they continued to plant corn,
not finishing until July II. A killing
frost came Sept 81. just seventy mine
days from the time of the planting of
the seed, yet the corn was mostly all
matured, and whole lot better than
no corn at all.
But that was not all. They planted
pumpkins along with the corn and
now have about 200 loads of pumpkins
for the market. There was some land
that they could do nothing with at the
time, or until Aug. 1. On this, they
planted two acres of cucumbers and
beans. From the cucumbers, they have
thirty barrels of sailed pickles, besides
having sold $3.50 worth of cucumbers
in Omaha and Council Bluffs, during
the summer season. They are now get
ting seed from several wagon loads of
ripe cucumbers and these will have a
ready sale at good prices. The beans
also bore well. and brought a good
return on the investment. In addition
they secured fifty tons of cane fodder
and twenty five tons Of millet from the
flooded land These results have been
secured by brain work as we'll as mus
Gle work, and by refusing to give up
when the situation looked the dark
