- tration proved to be only an IN
termissiOn between the two acts OF the
Cleveland drama History gives but
q rassing glance at the one president
whose predecessor became his success
or, who had to give up the presidential
chair to the man he took it from.
Although Harrison had more brains
than Cleveland. Cleveland had larger
nature, and that is what counts most
in the leadership OF men.
notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison
was the grandson of a president IN
whose house he was born, his father
was moor and the boy was brought up
plainly.
Graduating from n small OHIO COL
lere, Harrison married at twenty the
girl to whom he engaged himself at
eighteen, and they went to housekeep-
ing in 4 little three-ro0m cottage IN
Indianap0!s. He was not admitted TO
the bar until after his marriage, ana
the first money he ever made was as
a court crier at $3.50 day. Later on
he helned out his lean practice with
his salary rs clerk Of the supreme
court Of the state. Then came the
Civil war, in which he served galiantly
as a colonel and marched with Sher-

ROyER CLEVELAND had no
VI lnore than left the presidency in
defeat and settled down 10 the prac-
tice of law in New York City thaH.it
was seen that he was still almost as
much the leader of the Democratic
party,as when he was in tie White
House.
In the four years OF his retirement
he seldom saw party leaders. Yet so
strong was the reaction against the
Republicans and so .loud the call Tor
him in 1892 that he returned IN tri-
ur1ph to the White House.
One of the periodical ,panics OF the
19ft. century gIaote the country with a
financial and Industrial paralysis IN
1881 only two months after the IN
auguration. AS usual, the party IN
power caught the blame, aad day alter
day a leading Republican newspaper
shouted in gleeful headlines: Another
bank gone Democratic!'

fidence, Cleveland called a spe.s&t SeS-

Joe Witoski, Russian Pole, in the
employ of the Atlantic Coal Company,
at Dlackfeld, near Meyersdale drew
|S6O2.67 for single months pay for
digging coal. The pay for the first
half of June was s329:04, and the
last half S273.63 making a total of
IS602.67 or almost the equal of the
monthly pay Of a Conressmgan-
Witoski dug during June 399.12 tons
of coal, or enough to I'll eight large
steel hoDpers.
Saturday afternoon, Pat Flynn, ct

work in the mines of the Highland
Coal Company, operated by Roy Bros.
a short distance south of Meyersdalc,
During that period Flynn averaged 3
to 10 hours a day and unassisted in

Under the pressure of the president
the Silver act was repealed, but only
after a bitter struggle which jeff the

man to the sea. Afterward he rose
to a high and prosperous rank in the
practice OF law.
The only political office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was seat in the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that BODY
in the year before he was elected pres
jdent. he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
prcsident-elect, and he frankly de-
scrifcd himself as 81 dead duck"
Tie only candidate that the rank
and file of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1888 was Blaine. But he
Vas not well, and he refused to make
a contest for the nomination. AT last
he caBled from Scotland: "Take Har-
rison." And the convention inditfer-
emily took him.
The more notable events Of the har-
r;son ad,nir;stration-the Mckinley
! tariff act the silver act, which more
/ than doubled the purchase Of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
: law on the subject of trusts; the de-
ncnAcnt pension act, and the first Pan
American ongress-hardly belong IN
this little story, because none of them
! originated with the president himself.
rc did not rise TO leadership, and CON
cross took the reins. All the While ne
s3t in the White House in cold atoof-
ness.
With the cry of "God help the sur
nlus!" the Republicans gave the .co!th-
fry in Harrison's administration the
! first "billion-dollar congress-" the ap-
propriations for the two-year term ris-
ing to that unprecedented total. 10
the Dopular protest Speaker Reed re-
torted: "This is q billion-dollar coun-
trv," But the country lid not feel rich
enough to pay the higher tariff rates
of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional eiec-
lions in $780, Of course anyone VINO
had ANYTHING to sell seized upon :he
excuse 70 mark up prices. The "Shop-
ming women" rose in their fury at the
higher cost cf living, and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
in the house.
That was the forerunner of still
greater political overturn in the presl'
Dental election in 1892, when Harrison
;. vert down under Il sweeping victory
for Cleveland.

milk enough for the increasing city
trade in the short months, while in the
months of greater production they
could get sufficient for the city needs
much nearer. At present the dealer
buys all that the farmer produces the
year around, and in the surplus season
pays lower price for that proportion
Of milk which has TO be made into but
ter, cheese, casein or other dairy pro-
duct and sold at lower price than
whole milk brings.
The proposed rating plan provides
that every dairy farmer will be given
a rating, on the three months in which
there is the least surplus milk, and
that he shall be paid whole milk prices
throughout the year for approximate
ly the amount he produces during
these three short months, any excess
over this amount TO be paid for at the
lower surplus price. This will tend 10
increase the supply Of milk in the
short months as any farmer will be
DESTROYS Of establishing high rating.
The question Of surplus has been a
stumbling block to all plans for sell
ing milk on an equitable basis in the
past. Farmers have complained bit
terly at the low prices they have re-
ceive for a considerable portion Of
their milk during the flush season.
If some practical application Of the
rating plan can be worked out by the
special committee Of the New England
Mix Producers Association the rem
edy for low prices for summer milk
vii be in each farmers hands. II be-
wants to get a more even price
throughout the year he must even up
his production. The higher rating he
can establish in the short months, the
greater proportion Of his surplus
months milk will bring the standard
price.

Charles s Dana, speaker Of the
Vermont House Of Representative At
the last session, who has been nenom-
mate for town representative by tie
Republicans Of New Haven, is making
IN sciive canvass already for re-elec-
tion 20 the speakefship among the
nominees for representative IN the
several towns. This, il will occur TO
many, is decidedly previous, for sew
eral reasons For instance, Mr.. Dana
may not himself BE- elected in Novem-
Der Many Of those whom he now
addresses b. letter in his own behalf
may suffer a like fate. Still further,
there may other candidates in the
field whom il woulG be well for mem
bers-elect 10 consider when the time
comes. Mr. Dana served with credit as
prcsidiig officer of the last House, 10
be sure, but there are pretty certain
TO be others just as well qualified.
The friends OF Col Franklin Billings,
likely to represent Woodstock next
session, will push him, il is announced.
Then thor els strong likelihood that
Hon. Hale X. Darling will represent
Chelsea. in which case he will newt
ably be considered. Mr. Darling re-
eeiyed 329 out Of 343 votes cast for the
nominees Of all parties for represen-
tativc in last weeks primary, so his
election may be safely predicted. Be
sizes unusual ability as presiding
officer, many times demonstrated, he
has had close connection with six re-
cent sessions Of the legislature, two as
n member Of the House, one term and
part Of another as a senator, one term
as lieutenant governor and president
If the Senate and two sessions in con
nection with the revisions of bills or
Of the statutes. II will occur to most
members-elect, probably, that with the
lieutenant governor, who presides over
the Senate, coming from Addison
county, fairness to their localities
woulL suggest that the presiding otfic-
e. Of the House should come from
some other county Messrs. Foote and
Dana have in the past been even more
than neighbors, Tumor AYERS. This IS
not to their discredit, but certain de
gree Of independence and individuality
on the part Of the presiding officers Of
the two legislative chambers would be
