unprincipled demagogue. Times ol

less times--ju like the inebriate's


hair-pulling as he sobers up after q

which such parties grow and dema-
gogues find 1t profitable to play upon
the disordered condition Of society.
These demagogues don't blush any to
attack bitterly their own past profess
si0ns and practices by denOuncing
them; they don't hesitate at all to ut
ter the most patent falsehoods; they
freely state one thing to one man and
directly the opposite to another; they
freely consort and unite with such
men as Brick Pomeroy and III. Clay
Dean in crusede after their kind Of
reform, and finally they rack their in
genuity to array the passions OF peo-
pie against their neighbors who may
have acquired q competence. So they
abuse good citizens and teach the
crowd to abuse and hate them. This
they do in the unstinted use of mis-
representation and falsehood.


Such course leads only to tempo
rary success. 1t Is a pitiful sight TO
but the history of the world
has furnished many a Judas and Civ

We desire to say as a matter of fsim-
pie Justice, that there were several
democrats Of Centre township, and
may be very few in the country,
who, on pure principle and from an
honest purpose, voted for Judge
Sampson and were earnestly opposed
to Weaver. They did well and we
gladly record 1t. There was, too, a
considerable number of the German
democrats here and perhaps else
where in the county who voted for
Sampson. They, too, were moved
thereto by their honest convictions
and steadfast purpose to maintain


honest money, They deserve favora-
BILE mention which we gladly accord
to them. A large part, however, Of
OF the democrats of this city who
may have opposed Weaver, did 80

ing for him, they traded him or to
obtain votes for Thompson for Clerk.

EVEN John p. Irish is claiming a
democratic victory in the election of
Weaver and Gillette, and gives to the
associated press the report that these
two chips are both pledged to enter
the democratic caucus. OF course
they are SO pledged, and had it been
necessary they would have given a
private pledge to vote for impeach-
ment articles against the President.
There is no debasement to which they
would not have yielded for success.
We have every reason to believe this
from the shameless course both these
men have pursued.

FRANK HATTON, of the Hdwkeye,
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee, worked hard and

has been. 1t is no fault of his that
we have had losses here and there.

 Mothers often greatly err in underval- uing the little griefs and disappoint- ments of childhood The triaes which give them pain and trouble would be nothing to us, so we unreasonably exact of them the same indifference. Did you ever reflect how different the same scene looks from your own height, from that point at which your little child must view it?

The Republicans of Cumberland County

keeping up terrible cheating on the gongs"
in Democratic neighborhoods, but privately
counselling members of that party to stick
to the old organization, while fooling the
Republicans. Every Republican, therefore,
who acts with the Greenback party this

Under the law of March 9, 1878, provid-
ing for the payment of pensions to the
soldiers of the war of 1919, the Commission
er of Pensions is making rapid payment of
the claims filed under the law. During the
last three months 2, 800 claims have been
filed. The majority of these are from the
Southern States. The act of 1871 barred
out all claimants to pension growing out
of the war of 1912 in case the claimant
fought against the Government during the
late civil war or his heirs were disloyal, but
by the latter act the fact of disloyality dur
ing the rebellion is ignored. The Pension
Office has stopped the printing of it's checks
at the Government printing Office, as the
work on them was of such character that
they could be easily counterfeited. The
Bureau of Engraving and Printing now
does the working on Government fibre pa
per. About 100000 of these checks are
used every quarter, payments being made
to more that 250,000 pensioners.

The most glorious chapter of American
history is that which covers the record of
the nation under Republican management.
Hard times, business prostration, and all
the evils growing therefrom date from the
unfortunate hour when Democracy gained
control of the House of Representatives.
If Democracy continues its hold we shall go
from bad to worse until national bankruptcy
squares accounts all around. The hope of
the nation rests upon Republican ascendency
and to bring this about next Fall is the
duty of every true citizen.

It is said that at the Duke of Connaught's s

A striking illustration of the popular con-
tempt felt for the last Congress is shown by
the number of new men who are receiving
the nominations. Up to the present time
there have been about 279 candidates nomi-
mated, and all but 81 Of these are new men.
Of the present incumbents who have been
re-nominated 80 are Republicans and rs
Democrats. This slang hter of statesmen is
sufficient proof that the people are thinking
and acting for themselves A Congress of
new men is not always success, but new
men in this instance are pretty sure to be
an improvement on the old ones.

The National Greenback party is an hon.

the common pressed tin pan. The argu-
ment in favor of setting in pans is that the
milk Of each cow may be kept separate If
desired. 1t cools sooner, causing the cream
to raise quicker, and the pans can be easier
handled and cleaned. For holding the pans
frames should be made of dressed lumber,
and the pieces fitted so that they may be.
easily washed and kept clean. Most persons
make these frames with only three or four
rails for the pans to set on. and then use
small Stats for rests. In this way they often
set the pans over each other four Or five in

the taking down and building up again is
considerable, and think the better plan is
to build the frame in such manner with

For many a month in the year the table
of many an Industrious country-home have
rarely any other vegetable than potatoes.
Some have tomatoes for Il few months, corn
for weeks. and now and then there may
be a dish OF Lima beans. We say nothing
of the cabbage or Il few other kinds in some
places, but as general thing good vegeta-
bles are not the particular attractions OF q
farmers table. When we come to neat,
preparations, pies, puddings, sauces, and all
such knicklsnacks, the farmers girls are not
behind the rest of the world.


But it is not their fault. If was unrea-
sonable to expect the Israeltes to make
brick without straw, it is a worse case here.
It the head of the household does not raise
the vegetables, how shall the girls cook
them and that they do not raise them is u
general complaint and lamentable fact.
Even when they are brought to feel that the
women will have vegetables, they go to work
grudgingly. They must S'se5 the corn
ground ready "-"put in the OATS or some
thing or another, and can't afford the time
to be ploWing up the truck patch, or dig
ging up the garden. But the power be-
hind the throne" insists on ii; a little ma
nure is dragged on TO some out-of-the way
piece of the land, the soil scratched over
with the plow, and then with the harrow,
and then the women or beys must getalong
as best they can.


Now this is not the way the thing is al
ways done; but our readers viii bear wit
ness to the fact that they have none of them
to go far to find the picture we have drawn.
Now, most men like good vegetable, prefer
ring some kinds to others of course, and the
indifference can only be through supposing
it's cost more TO raise them properly than
it does


One OF the mistakes Of vegetable growing
for ones own personal use, is to grow more
than Is required. TOO much ground is ia
ken up. Too much labor then has to be CIV
en- in proportion to the desired results. Veg
etables as a rule require much richer, sou
than the average of farm-crops; but when
once they have a deep rich soil; 1t is Won
derful how many very small piece OF
ground will produce. Ia Germantown, there
are very large number of small houses
owned by workingmen and mechanics,
many OF whom 10y the agency of the build
ing societies, so popular here, become their
own landlords. The lots may not be more
than forty,or fifty feet front, by hundred
feet deep; yet many of these men get a
quantity of vegetables from these lots' be-
sides the space the buildings occupy, that
would astonish our country friends. But
they make the ground rich and deep; ana
lhis makes it light, so that the spade or FORK
works easily in it, and thus they get without
much care the good results we see. There
is no reason why the counkry vegetable gar
den shpnld not be as good as thesea Indeed.

The columns of cur execution edition were SO crowded with the details of the execution that we could give our readers only a synopis of the last statement made by Ten Eyck. We print it in full this morning, thinking it's importance of some moment as showing what william the mur- derer was, apart from the horrible crime which took from him his life. His petty crimes, however pale when brought in con- junction with his last and greatest deed, but they in large measure, foreshadow what the end might be of an evil disposed character. It will be observed that there is gradation in the extent and malignity of his crimes from petty theiving of chickens, through to arson, assault with intent to kill, ending with forgery. Then came the final crowning act of his life, that of wiliful des- truction of life, and it seems fatality ID It all. His whole career, from the first cup that drove him to the execution of his crimes, to the last scene on the scaffold, is men, and to those already advanced in evil ways. If it be questioned by those who look into the domestic economy of the affair, whether the execution of Ten Eyck was in any way'a compensation for the mur- der. the only reply is, that it was all that could be done. The law is satisfied, and though the balance of justice quivers, when one miserable life is given to compensate for two worthy lives, yet the retributlve justice of the Eternal, will make all things equal and according to the law of nature.

 Two hours and half after the down train on the Housatonic Railroad arrived in this town our execution edition was ready for distribution. Scores of friends were waiting patiently and anxiously for the first copies. and horses were at the door to car " the coveted news to the near towns. In less than two hours after the first copy was struck off the entire edition was exhausted and many of our orders had to be cut down because we had not copies enough to sup ply all. The boy who sold on the streets was besieged by an excited crowd and soon his large armful vanished like smoke. The next morning those to whom we had sent 50 and more copies sent in for duplicate of the order and we were forced to strike off half sheets to meet the demand. Five hundred more copies could have been sold had we possessed the means of sup plying them. As it was it was com plete success, and we have good cause to congratulate ourselves on our enterprise.

He was writing for the information of the

other words, he probably found that guess
ing and scribblipg saved the exertion ne

The fact is that while there is ne abso
lutte impediment to the marriage Of Cath
olic with Protestant, there is such an i'm
pediment to the marriage of Catholic
and q non-Christian, whether Jew, Pagan,
or infidel. 1t is also a fact, unfortunately,
that the great majority of so-called Pro-
testants are not Christians at all that is,
they have never been christened. or bap-
