C, for transmission through the mails, as second class matter. FRIDAY, OCTOUKR 22, 1897. A fiKKAT ILOITOK (iONK. Charles A. Dana passed away on last Sabbath on Long Island, N. V., his home. He was one of the greatest editors of the generation in which he lived. His stock of information was varied, thorough, and wide encyclopediac in its nature. He, with Mr. Ripley, in fact, were editors of Appleton's American Encyclopedia, said by many to be the best home work of ks kind in America. His genius was as versatile as his information and practical wis dom were great. He could write in more veins successfully than any editor in the country. His arguments were clear-cut and sim ple, directly applied to the under standing of any reader. Sometimes his pen was as a barbed shaft when he turned a most incisive sarcasm towards an opponent. His irony produced merriment at the expense of his enemies. Mr. Dana, nevertheless, was very considerate, kind, and true to his friends. Hence, it might be supposed that such a character would have strong friends and bitter opponents. Mr. Dana, after having been with Horace Greeley for about 15 years on the New York Tribune, which paper he greatly advanced, took editorial charge of the Sun, and its success from that time was assured. Mr. Dana's elevation, vigor,) clearness, and purity of style has done much for journalism in this country. With all his versatility, he would not stoop to sensational ism. He avoided vulgarity and hated cant and hypocrisy. Hut with him, as with any one prominent so long, we see plainly that no man (even the greatest) is perfect. Mr. Dana lacked, to a considerable degree, stability ot views and conduct. He was once, to a limited extent, a socialist; yet when he died he held opposite views, as he seemed to favor selfish trusts. He began the Sun as a Democratic paper, but towards the close of his life it was more Repub lican than Democratic. At one time he favored the greenback movement and wildcat banks; but no one was stronger for the gold standard at the last election than Mr. Dana in the New York Sun. Hut the turn of things may have caused him to see it that way. At any rate he was a great man, edi tor, business man of affairs, liter ary writer, and a writer of pure English. He was about 7S years of age. I'eace to his ashes. Ot K At. Kit I I.TI KA I. 1NTKKKSTS. The failure of the Dingley tariff bill is clearly indicated. The revenues of the Government, stim ulated temporarily by a frantic effort of importers to get goods into the country ahead of the new tariff, are falling heavily behind its expenses again. The next Con gress must devise new methods of taxation, or the Government will continue to run in debt for its cur rent expenses, which is really a condition the bondholding element wishes to perpetuate. The Federal Government has proved itself utterly powerless to help the people in this crisis of their affairs. Our agricultural interests have proved, as hereto fore, the sure support of public prosperity and credit. A season of good crops has done what no tariff legislation could do revived hope in commercial channels and so stimulated a temporary pros perity. The people can clearly see this. They can see that this is in accord ance with hat Jefferson taught that only the bounty of Providence and the labors of the people are the source of wealth and prosper ity, and that the General Govern ment can best aid the people by not meddling with their natural rights and local liberties. Every spurt of prosperity the people of this country has ever had has followed on a season of good crops and a foreign demand for our food products. What is the lesson of this? Why, that the Gov ernment should cease to coddle monopoly manutactures, and seek to open the world's maikets to our food products. General prosperity can come in no other way. Manufacturing prospcity only helps isolated States and sections. It exists at the best in only a few States and certain cities. Agricultural pros perity embraces every State and Territory of the Union. It leads to the only basis of real prosperity, a distribution of the circulating medium in every section of the land. Even manufacturing pros perity must be preceded by this condition, brought about by the farmer and food producer. Make the farmer prosperous, and the merchant and manufacturer also thrives. Our agricultural interests are predominant, and should be favored instead of manufactures. We want a tariff to increase the foreign markets for our food and raw material. WATKKSONIAN WOES. Col. Henri Turncoat Watterson, of the more or less esteemed Louis ville Courier-Journal, sees in the present movement for the restora tion to the people of their basic money and a firmer hold upon their constitutional rights another French Revolution. In Altgeld, of Illinois, he sees a replica of Robespierre, in lien Tillman a Danton, and in Henry George a Marat. Time was when Kentucky's chief product was world famed for its purity and freedom from bilious after-effects when it was claimed that "there was not a headache in a barrel of it." How it has dete riorated may be judged by Col. Henri's bilious diatribes against the great principles for which he was erstwhile a staunch and valiant champion. Col. Henri's dilemma is a sad one. He views with constant and growing alarm the tendency of the people to reach out and take their own, while he is positively terror ized at the continual shrinkage in the volume of the goldocrat party, which landed in the scattering column last fall and may now be counted by any first grade school child to whom a thousand is a mysterious vastness. And, alas, Col. Henri is deprived of the pleasure of trotting out the other nag in that platform parr. lie has naught to which to "point with pride." The sun of the single standard is obscured behind the clouds of depression which refuse to be dissipated by Ilanna pro- nunciamento or Watterson incanta tion. Grover Cleveland, the leader of the worshipers at the shrine of gold, is less loved by Col. Henri than is even bimetallism. England is in the throes of labor disturb ances brought about directly by the iniquities of the single stand ard, and none but Bill Kaiser of Germany and the Wattersonian group of American journalists who obey the behests of their monopo listic owners continue to proclaim the value of the devil of the single standard. lut not one of the group has yet detected in the reawakening of the people aught so dreadful as has Col. Henri. And it must be that the great Kentucky staple is deteriorating. It must be or else perish the thought! Col. Henri has passed over into that realm of peace for tired statesmen, jurists, and jour naliststhe senility which betokens the end of earth. It is sincerely to be hoped that the latter surmise is totally wrong, in which case Col. Henri is urged to send over to "North Carolina for some of its "pine-top," made in the dark of the moon despite the revenue vigi lance. It is superior to the Ken tucky bourbon of its halcyon days, and may even restore Col. Henri's digestion, cure his biliojsness, divorce him from the cruel alliance which made his lip and his heart part company, and result in the people once again hearing that clarion voice raised in behalf of stricken silver. Who knows? THE TWO WAYS. Ogden Goelet died aboard his yacht in foreign waters on the same day that Lewis Ginter died in Richmond, Va. Goelet left a fortune of $25,000,000; Ginter left one of 2,500,000, one-tenth as much. Goelet's great great-grandpar ents settled on Manhattan Island in sixteen hundred and something and for a yellow blanket, three strings of glass beads, and a barrel or two of rum bought from Indians s ime three or four hundred acres of land in the heart of what is now New York city. If Lewis Ginter knew the per sonal history of his great-great grandfather he was an exception to the general rule. Lewis Ginter only inherited a strong constitu tion, an aptitude for business, and a love of humanity. Ogden Goelet inherited $?o,ooo, occ, because his family had retained the land "bought" from the Indians, and the growing needs of a great nation demanded thesettlementof Manhattan Island and the establishment of a great seaport a gateway through which the bulk of that great nation's commerce must flow. The use of this land "bought" from the Indians was necessary to the proper conduct of the affairs of the city of New York and of the United States of America. The noble family of Goelet was there fore in a position to exact increas ingly large sums annually from those who needed the use of that ground, and for six generations have absorbed the rentals and increased their store of wealth, being able to spend only a portion of it yearly and handing down the growing fortunes from generation to generation, not only intact, but added to. As to the righteousness of a system which renders that possible, it is no part or province of this article to treat. That, with apologies to the meteoric Kipling, s another story, to be told by the singletaxers. Thisarticleis penned simply to attempt to draw a com parison between characters. Ogden Goelet left his fortune to his two sons. Give them each thirty years of life, and their incomes from $1 2,500,000 each will enable them in turn to leave a for tune of $30,000,000 or $40,000,000 each without doing anything to ncrease the general prosperity. With the Goelets, charity begin neth and endeth at home. No great educational or eleemosynary institution received a cent of the unearned fortune. Lewis Ginter, as a result of the war, entered the second epoch of his existence in 1866 a poor man. By reason of the unjust conditions which have prevailed for the twenty-five years succeeding the dastardly legislation which struck down half of the country's basic money, Major Ginter accumulated his two and one-half millions, but there lingered around not a dollar of it the sobs and sighs of evicted widows or dispossessed orphans. During his lifetime Major Ginter was a generous as well as a just man. When, in course of time, the summons came to join the innumerable caravan, he could look back at a useful life. He added to the world's wealth. He had been an American. He had not so journed abroad half of each year, spending the dollars drawn from the citizens of his native land in catering to and toadying an "aris tocracy" which despised the land of his birth. The scene of his activities, Rich mond, Va., and its educational and charitable institutions were remem bered so liberally in his will that they were practically the chief beneficiaries of his fortune. The people from whom conditions of legislation had enabled him to glean so rich a harvest in great measure benefit from the money he left behind him. The moral of all this? Well, thete is no moral to it. The single taxers may draw a moral from their point of view, but single taxers are visionaries, dis turbers of existing conditions, and divers and various other things of more or less vituperative effect. This is a statement of facts, from which the reader may, like the writer, draw his own conclusions. The writer thinks that Ogden Goelet lived a life of far less use fulness than Lewis Ginter, and that he is glad that Major Ginter was a Southron. I DITOKI l. NOTES. And now the stock gamblers of New York are in a fever of excite ment over the bare possibility of Henry George's election, because, in the words of the organ of the goldocrats the lying New York Sun George "represents Bryanism in its most virulent form." Well, stock gamblers have a hard row to hoe right along. First Bryan in '96, then George in '97 the con gressional elections of '9S, any old election of '99, and the quadriennal struggle for human liberty in 1900 will continue annually to worry the Wall street gamblers until the right shall prevail. The only way to avert this is for the thieves to give up the stolen property, the people's money silver and then the people will stop "worring" them. The brilliant Cuban successes of the last few days may bestir our languid Administration to flutter a trifle about intervention, for from its previous record it may plainly be seen that the McKinley-McKenna Cabinet is not going to stab Spain until the Cubans have given her the death wound. Oh, where, oh, where wiil the pretense of doing something for the outraged and Spain-bend-den Cubans end with this obsequi ous Administration, which works only for trusts and plutocrats and ignores the brawn of our country and the Spanish yuke on a tyran nized people. The 'regressive Parmer com plains that the only beneficiaries of " cKinley prosperity" are the millionaires and railroads. Well, didn't they buy the Presidency; and who has a better right to the usufruct of the Ilanna reign than the personal owners thereof? .s to the people, the producers and toilers we should remember that old Vanderbilt did not copyright his famous phrase "The people be damned." The first two issues of Mr. Otho Wilson's HayseeJer was full of argument, revelations, and pep pery points against Russell and Mary Ann Butler. By the way, something like this is so often the rtiuit of fusion when schemers j like Butler and vindictive and heady men like Ruisell have any thing to do with it. But let the procession move on fusion is breaking up. Mr. Bryan in his Nashville speech declared that no one has stated that the gold standard is a good thing during the twenty three years of its existence. Is it possible that Mr. Bryan forgets one Bynum of Indiana, one Bourke Cochran of Ireland, one Jumpingjack Carlisle, and one Steve G. Cleveland? And there were fully a dozen other grace less scamps in the list. The exigencies of the Ohio cam paign could not overcome the ter ror of the Wall street owners of the Ilanna-McKtnley administra tion at the prospect of a diplomatic disturbance which would jeopard ize the water in their stocks, and they ordered the dogs of war to be leashed. Cuba continues to be ravished by the kites of Spain; but no matter; the stock market is reasonably steady. M The Bank of England, in order to prevent the golden eagles coined by America from returning to this country in payment for our sur plus stock of wheat, has advanced the price of our own coins. This demonstrates that even gold is a commodity, and results in the return of our securities to pay for the year's harvest. Jed Pntchard, by virtue of the coalition between the Populists and Republicans of North Caro lina a Senator of the United States from the Old North Stale, is slated for the bench to succeed United States District Judge Robert P. Dick. Thus do the mistakes as well as the sins of men find them out It looks now as if it would be difficult, or even impossible, to prove fraud against the Southern Railway in regard to the lease matter that has so long been before the public. We will be able to review the whole matter later. Honor to whom honor is due, and let the blame, if any, fall where it belongs. "Deluded citizens" continue to flock in vast crowds to hear Wil liam J. Bryan discuss the topic wliich was "utterly demolished" by the "campaign of education" ot last year. Itissingular this pet sistency with which the people refuse to believe that they are engulfed in prosperity. The modern lobbyist and con tro'.ler of legislation finds his pro totype in the armor clad agents of 'he feudal baron. It may be wel to remember that when the people tired of the exactions of these agents of the monopolists of the day they wasted few arrows and crossbolts on the agents. The bloodhounds attached to an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company were used last week to track and recapture three negroes who had escaped from jail. As this hap pened in the town of Marion, Ohio, it has not excited the indignation of the Uriah Heep press of the North. A nejjro was appointed to a posi tion in the fire department of Bos ton a month ago. He was com pelled to resign, as the whites would not work him.

When done with the door and win dow scrtjeus, clean them off and give ' the wire a coat of linseed oil, adding a trifle of Japan drier to do it Do not take t'jo much off on tho brush, but rub mt well on both sides. Thus treated, wire screens will last for several y'.rs. The foregoing id one of many helpful hints from the pen of a contributor to Country Gentleman. Following are ad ditional suggestions from the same eourco: Look over the hotbed and cold frame Fashes, clean the glass and give wood work a coat of white paint When dry, putty places needing it, then paint over the putty. Putty is usually a mixture of whiting and linseed oiL A little cot tonseed oil will retard hardening. For iron framed greenhouses add a little white lead to the putty. Glycerin will keep putty elastic, so that it will not harden perfectly. This is useful on greenhouse, hotbed, etc., sashos and ou skylights. Keep putty in an earthen pot and cover with water or wet rag. To remove hard putty from sashes without breaking glass a hot poker or othor similar iron answers. Run the hot iron around the old putty. Or mu riatic acid, using a rag tied to a stick, will remove or soften the old putty so tbal it utsy be removed with a knife. Potash, in the form of a paste, will do the same thing, only it must not coma in contact with the painted work. Thid is true, however, of heat and acid also. Clean up the farm machinery. Give it a coat or two of paint For those ar ticles used out in the weather mix lead and oil together, adding a little good Tarnish and turpentine and some japan drier. This gives a hard, elastic, good wearing paint Use any pigment to col or with. Prussian blue and Indian red, in oil, are good coloring pigments. In dian or tuscan red alone, thinned with oil and a little varnish, gives a fine col or. Grain machinery, hayrakes, etc., look well done mainly with some yel lowish color, like white lead paint tinged with yellow ochor or with chrome yellow. Ocher is a very durable pigment while chrome (a chemical product ) is not Indian red looks best on inside barn machinery. Blue looks too dalL On such machinery a cleaning off and a coat of varnish are usually suffi cient Use good copal varnish only. Good varnish has on agreeable odor, of turpentine mainly, whilo poor var nish smells of benzine. Good varnish dries Blowly; poor varnish, fast Flower supporting sticks, trellises, etc., should be cleaned off, painted green and put away for next spring's use. On a rough picket or board fence a single coat of iron or ocher paint mixed in linseed oil, will last well enough for years. Two coats are still better. For the barn use an ocher paint Ocher of best quality, of American sort, is best Ocher consists mainly of silica, alumina and ferric (iron) oxida It is a fine clay tinted with the iron oxide and is ono of the most, if not altogether tho most durable of paint substances. French ocher is too costly; so got the best American, which is nearly if not quite as good and costs much less. Get it ground in oil, in large cans. Thin it with pure raw linseed oil and add ja pan to dry it. Best japan will dry paint in the proportion of 1 of japan to 18 of paint It should be very thin or liquid and smell of turpentine, not benzino, or the ocher may be added to white lead, to make cream, straw or other yel lowish tints. Two-thirds white lead and one-third white zinc, combined, give a better wearing paint than lead or zinc alone. Where a cheaper mixture is de sired add gilder's bolted whiting to lead, half and half, and thin with oiL CORN FOR FORAGE. The Best Time to Cut Corn as Settled by Experiments. As experienced farmers know, the feeding value of the eutire corn plant depends upon the degree of maturity it reaches before being cut It increases in value very rapidly as it approaches tho period of complete ripeness. Iu the case of corn planted in hills, where tillage can be given, the moisture may be con served by shallow culture even during drought so tfhat the plant is enabl.nl to continue growth until its greatest feed ing value is readied. With sowed corn, however, conditions are entirely different, for long before the time of maturity tho corn has ceased to grow because the supply of moisture has been used up. In cases of this kind the corn may have to be cut early in order to save it, says The Orange Judd Farmer in this connection. This very rapid in crease in feeding value of corn as it reaches maturity should be understood by all producers, whether the crop is to be used for 6ilago or for fodder. According to analyses made at the Cornell experiment station at different periods of growth, it is plainly evident that only such varieties should be grown for ensilage as will reach a good degree of maturity before frost These conclu sions were first reached in 1688 and have been abundantly confirmed by later experiments at Cornell and several other stations. Beginning with Aug. 2, corn was cut when in bloom and analyzed. The amount of water, dry matter and the different food nutrients was deter mined, including the ash. Later anal yses wore made and tabulated. The tables show that there is an increase in amount of food and its value from tho first to the last cutting. An acre cut Sept 10 was worth over $06, while the same area cut two weeks later was worth over $115. Between tho first and hut cutting the total dry matter and carbohydrates (sugar, starch, etc.) in creased 150 per cent, the fat 125 per cent and the protein nearly doubled. In last year's experiments it was found that the total feeding value between tasseling and ripening increased 166 per cent The results of all experiments in this line unite to show that there is a large increase of all the nutrients as the corn proceeds from tasseling to ripeness. It would therefore 6eem, says The Orange Judd Farmer, that the question of the proper time to cat corn for ensi lage was definitely settled by these ex periments. Such a marked increase be tween the periods of bloom and ripen ing cannot be ignored even though the proportion of the more valuable muscle forming foods be somewhat lessened. This is true of corn cut for fodder as well as that for ensilage. The time to cut corn, then, is after the roasting ear etago has been passed and before the Etalks and leaves become woody.

Concerning Winter Stores. A beekeeper with 17 years' experi ence gives the following advice to be ginners in The Canadian Bee Journal about wintering bees. He says: First see that the colony hits a queen. If there are no queen cells built and them is brood in all stages down to the egg, you are fairly safe in assuming that the queen is there, but it is bi tter Btill to seo her. It may be that there is not brood in all stages, and particular ly may this be tho case when there has been no honey flow after busswood. Then there is no other way than to actu ally see the queen. Look for the qnoeii, 6Eioko the bees as little as posible, take the combs out quietly and do not be too long looking them over the first time, otherwise tho bees get restless aud leave their position on the List combs before you reach them. If the colony is qucenless, but has gool brood and is a good, full colony, and you want the bees, you had U tter get a queen at once. If 50 cent is an item of some im portance with you, get an untested queen. A colony queenless for some time, especially when honey is u t com ing in, may and is somewhat likely to kill the queen. Never put a tested r more expensive queen into tsuch a col ony. Having a good laying queen in the hive, the next consideration is the num ber of bees. Unless there are bins enough to crowd four Laugstroth coinlw I would unite it with another weak colony. I shall not hero tell you how to do this, but one queen, of course, most be destroyed and tho remaining one caged. I would not i-?iito fairly strong colonies or one :i litt'.J below full strength with a weak one especially 6ound is this udvico to a beginner. Where the colony is not full strength I would contract it by moans of a board so it can fill tho space it has. Next for stores. Tho weakest colonies require the fullest combs, because they will consume about as much as the strong and they can cover tho least amount of comb. Give full combs or partially filled combs in preference to feeding sirup. Give them winter stores as soon after Sept. 10 or 15 as the ab sence of brood in the majority of tho combs will permit, taking out the combs with the least honey and replacing them will full ones or nearly so. Do not divide the stores at each side of the brood nest, but put the fullest at one 6ide, and so on, with the least honey at the other side, Noxt with your knife cut a hole in each comb, put it half way between tho two Bide bars aud almost two-thirds of the distance up from the bottom bar. These are for winter passages and allow access through the cluster of beea without passing out of it as tho bees would have to do when passing around the comb, either top, bottom or sides. Buckwheat honey is good stores for bees so is any other honey as far as I know. Honey dew is not honey at alL The bees sometimes gather it Tho flavor is generally rank, and it is dark in color. To have such stored in a hive is generally an exception, and tho bo ginner need not worry lest such a con dition should exist without his knowl edge. Having a colony in this condi tion, tho beginner or any one else has gone a long way toward successful win tering. COWPEAS FOR FORAGE. Statements Mado In the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture. There is no forage plant better adapt ed to the noeds and conditions of south ern agriculture than this rank, fn-e growing annuaL It will thrive luxuri antly upon the rich, swampy cane lands of Louisiana. On the driest and most Sterile wornout uplands it serves the admirable purpose of supplying a larger quantity and letter quality of forage than any other bean or clover. And whenever a crop of cowpeas has la-en taken off a field the surface soil is left richer by a good many pounds of that most costly of all plant foods, nitrogen. Tho roots of the cowpea enter deeply into the soil, opening and loosening it far down for tho benefit of the roots of the succoding crops of corn, cotton and tobacco. It has been found by experi ment that tho fertilizing value of tho roots and stubble of tho cowpea are very considerable, but not as great as that of the hay removed from the field. The best and most economical uso of this forage crop is then to cut for hay, feed to stock, and return the stable ma nure to the soil. Plowing the whole crop under is less remunerative because there is much needless waste of the mus cle making and fat forming constituents of the plant which would bring more profit if turned into beef, pork, cheese or butter. As regards tho disposal of the crop, there is a wise variation in practice. Jarod G. Smith, in a paper on tho sub ject submitted to the United States de partment of agriculture, says in this connection: The feeding value of tho vines and peas much exoeeds their fertilizing value. But aa between the practice of turning the vines under green in autumn and that of allowing them to lie on the groend during winter the lat ter is sometimes to bo preferred, thougli theoretically wrong. Theoretically, to plow the vines under in autumn will be to eavo all the available nitrogen and convert tho whole plant into humus. Practically the turning under of so large an amount of watery green herb age is. highly injurious, causing a too rapid decay and consequent "burning" or souring of the soiL Tho upper soil layers, freshly stirred and mellowed in autumn, lose more by leaching and washing than they do in an unplowed field covered by its winter mulch of de caying herbage, though in both cases there is a decided loss of fertility over what would result Ly following the peas with a crop of rye, winter wheat, the turf forming winter oats, winter vetch or crimson clover. The yields of forage are better on rich soils than on poor ones, but the benefi cial effects upon the succeeding crop duo to the growth of this ono are not so marked in the former case us iu the latter. The True Keinedy. W. M. liepine, editor Tiskilwa, III., Chief, says: "We won't keep house without Dr. King's .New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. kKiug's w Discovery. Nootlur remedy can take its place in oar home, as iu it we have a certain aud sure enre for Coughs, Colds, hooping Cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies, eveu if they aie urged on you as just as good as Dr King' w Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a lecord of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Tiial bottle free at G. I. White's Drug Store. Subscribe for The MEsstxcER.
