The campaign hasn't gone very far as yet, but it has gone far enough to show a good deal of wire pulling by a few po litical bums that we hope will get set down on in the convention. A CGUPLE of obstinate and punctilious clouds, neither of whom would yield the right of way, came together near Kays yille, Ky., and a furious flood of water that destroyed much property and caused the loss of 6veral lives was the result Kentucky clouds are like Kentucky coL onelsr. When they meet and neithe will give way, there is bound to be trouble. A good deal of warm weather is in order just now it will help the corn and all the other crops and that will help to make the times get up and dust next fall. Good crops, silver legislation after the order of the house bill, and a modifica tion of the tariff with a view of protec tion, will bankrupt the democratic party of its stock in trade. The democratic party flourishes only when nothing else does, Glen wood Opinion. An article on "Texan Types and Con trasts " by Lee C. Harby, with seventeen illustrations by Frederic Remington, will appear in the July number of Harper s Magazine. Mrs. Ilarby's writings on historical subjects have recently won honorable recognition both in thas coun try and abroad. Iter paper entitled the "City of a Prince,'' published some two years ago in the Magazine of American History and dealing with facts hitherto unknown, gained for her the election as fellow of The American Historical Asso ciation. Another of h-r historical arti cles was translated into Spanish, and published in certain South American periodicals. Mrs. Harby is also well known as a contributor to various New York literary papers. The new naval work is divided be tween the two coasts. The Cramps are to receive the contract for the S, 150-ton armoured cruiser and the Union Iron Works will build tlie 5,500-ton cruiser Tlie department has adhered closely to its original designs, but allows the Crumps to substitute their own plans for the machinery aud boilers, and to make their own arrangements for engine space Tlie division of tlie work furnishes em ployment for two shipyards in place of one, and is to be commended on genera nrincinles. The new cruisers have not been named, and there will be a lively competition for the honor if tlie ambi tion of American cities is to be consid ered. Three southern, two western and three eastern cities have been fayored in the nomenclature of the department The 5,500-ton cruiser may appropriately be reserved for a western city Cincm nati, St. Louis and Indianapolis being worthy of tne distinction. The s,150- ton cruktr is known in the department a Secretary Tracy's net. It will have to rf - i be named after a state, as by classifica tion it ranks as a "first-rate." The sec retary cannot select a more satisfactory name than that of his own state New York. The chief battles of the late war, as -iven by statistics, number 890. They are distributed by states as follows P..nnvlvnnia. 2: Maryland. 17: District j - of Columbia, 1; Virginia, 20S; West Vir ginia, 51; Kentucky, 47; Tennesseee, 140; Missouri, 131 ; Arkansas, G2; Louisiana, 07; Mississippi, 47; Alabama. 21; Florida 15; Georgia, 50; -South Carolina, 20; Nortli Carolina, :J1; Ohio, 2; Indiana, 5; Illinois, 1; Kansas, Indian Territory, 2; Texas, 4. Captain Frederick Phisterer late of the United States army, in his supplementary volume of '-Statistical Record of the Military Actions in tlie Civil War," gives theate and place of every engagement, beginning at Fort Sumpter, April 12, lsGl, and ending with the 'surrender of Kirkby Smith's forces. May 10, 1SG5. A surrender is classed as an engagement, and sums up all meeting forces, whether many or few, participated at 2,256 each year as follows: 1861, 156; 1802, 563; 18G3, 627; 1864, 779; 1S65, 131. Of course 1864 was the most bloody year of the war, not only because of the desperate campaign of Grant be fore Richmond, and Sherman and others in Tennessee and Georgia, co-unting up so terrible in losses. may be violated with impunity through the conyeuient device of making 6ales in unbroken packages. A 6tatecannot pre vent the introduction of such liquors; and when introduced, it can not in any way control the disposition of them. There is but one practicable remedy in the case, and that is for congress to make state laws effective, or, in other words, to provide. that a privilege heretofore recognized as - . . ill . a state Junction snail con tinue to be thus regarded. It is utterly impossible for the federal government to exercise common police powers all over the country. There must be local author ity to deal with local evils and dangers. That is one of the fundamental principles of our political -system, and it can not be dispensed with. The idea of leayingthe lumor traffic exempt from all kinds of lws is peculiarly obnoxious to all good citizens. Whatever differences of opin ion there may be as to the proper method of adjusting the liquor problem, no com munity wants it placed entirely beyond reach of legal interference. Popular sen timent does not anywhere favor liquor sellirlg like that which is now going on by reason of the supreme court's decision. The interests of society are seriously com promised by such a condition of things, and the people are entitled to relief and pratection. It is idle to say that congress has no power to act in an emergency of so much importance. It has repeatedly passed laws to assist the states in preserv ing the peace and promoting the general welfare; and no more than this is asked in this instance. The supreme court has in effect recommended such a plan of meeting the difficulty. There is mani fest need of prompt steps to arrest the spread of a traffic that is rapidly assum ing the aspect of a national scandal and reproach. The senate has done its part in good faith, and the house has no ex cuse for delay wheie the fact of duty is so pliin and so imperative. A GIRL'S BEST CHARM. My dear girls, keep yourselves look ing as sweet and as dainty as possible. Neyer under value the charm ol an agreeable ippearance. It is tlie most de lightful letter of introduction that can be given to a stranger, and there is reas on in tlie world why eyery woman should not be pleasant to look upon. A famous woman once said, "There arc no ugly women: tliore are only women who do not understand how to make themselves l.umitifiil " This is alisnlntelv true. 0 the riyiit thing for you to do is to sit down, think it over and make yourself the charming example that points the moral of this. Ladies' Home Journal. THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE MUDDLE St, Louis Globe Democrat. The action of the courts in Iowa, Kan sas, Pennsylvania and other states goes to show that the "original package" decieion is to be so construed as to practically invalidate all state laws with regard to the liquor traffic. That is to say, the supreme court's view of the in ter state commerce clause of the consti tution opens a way for tke people of one state to sell liquor in another state re gardless not only of prohibitory legisla tion, but also of statutes imposing license fees or other forms of taxation. The term "original package" is held to have no specific limit so far as the question of dimensions is concerned; the importer is free to suit himself as to the form or size of the package, and he has a right to 6ell it in that form and size, no matter what the state may say" to the contrary. This is the construction put upon the decision by several state judges within the last ten days, as well as by Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit court. There is no room left for doubt that all local laws for the suppression, restriction or HIGHER TARIFF AND CHEAPER PLOVS. Inter Ocean. The eternal fact is as cruel as the re morseless figures toward the gentlemen who amuse themselves by howling. "The tariff is a tax." ''The amount of tariff is added to tlie price of the goods." Here comes the British manufacturer, a London Journal of June 2, 1800. and says: A great many iron works in Rusia have commenced the manufacture of plows since the tariff duties on machin ery have been increased. These plows being cheaper ,;than those previously im ported) begin to compete with even those of German make. In the article from which this article is quoted it was written concerning the Russian trade fur the year 1S88: "At Rostov on-Don, the chief empor ium for agricultural machinery in this part of Russia, about 6,000 plows, mostly of German origin, 1,000 reapers, 500 mowers, 500 hay rakes. 200 horse gear thrashers, and 55 steam thrashers, with engines, were sold during the year. All the steam thrashers were of English make. Tlie reapers, mowers, and hay rakes were supplied by the United States; but Eng lish and American, especially American, plows, can not compete with the German as regards price, being much too ex pensive." "But in one year the import duties having been increased," the Russian iron works are making cheaper plows than could be had from Germany which, as we have just seen, was the cheapest for eign market in which Russia could buy them. Now, we propound our old riddle to the free trade press, how can it be said that "tariff is a tax" "tariff duty is ad ded to the price" when, '"the import du ties haying been increased." The Rus sian maker sells a Russian plow for less money than the German plow was sold for under lower duties? rust." The first does not lat long, but the second lasts over winter upon the straw. 3. One of the rusts on wheat lives for a time on the barberry, producing a yellowish-red rust upon the leaves in early spring. This has been made out to a certainty, but it is puzzling to know what takes place in this western country where the barberry is grown to such a limited extent. 4. It has been suggested that possibly the yellowish red rust occurring on the leaves of trees may have some connection with one of the wheat rusts. It will be well for farmers to watch very closely and see whether wheat rust is more abundent around or near ash trees. In this case it is necessary that a careful note be made as to the presence or absence of rust on the ash leaves also. 5. It has been suggested that wheat rust may be propogeed in the spring from the last year's rust on the straw. Let fanners notice whether there is more or less wheat rust in fields which were in wheat last year, also whether there i3 more or less rust near to old wheat stacks or where wheat straw has been scattered. It will be well, also, to note whether there is more or less rust upon fields which were burned over before plowing for the present crop. i. The influence of favorable weather (dampness with a high temperature; is well known. Such weather does not make rust, it merely helps it to develop. Just as in tlie case of weeds; the weather does not make weeds, it merely aids the seeds which are already in the ground to grnv rapidly into weeds. When rust appears in damp and hot weather, do not lay it all to the weather, but look about for the real cause. Note carefully any rusts upon weeds, bushes or trees in the near vicinity. 7. It is thougt that wheat rust is less common in the newer parts of the state where wheat has not been much grown Is this true? Is it true that wheat rust increases as the country becomes older ( 8. Is wheat rust less severe upon new ground, or upon ground which has bten in corn or some other crop for a series of years ? ti T wish to ret concise statements as to the foregoing matters, or others which may suggest themselves to the practical grower of wheat. Facts, not theories, are desired. ill. T wish to receive snrcinicns lrom ail parts of the state, and therefore ak every reader of this bulletin to wrap a few stalks of rusted wheat in a news paper and mail it to me, attaching his name and address to the specimen. I wish, also, to receive specimens of sus pected weeds, bushes or trees. Address: Charles E. Rkssky, Agricultural Experiment Station, Line olu. Neb. WHEAT RUST. I am making a study of wheat rust and desire to make the following statements, in order that farmers and others may be induced to give me such aid aa lies with in their power: 1. Wheat rust is caused by two or more kinds of minute fungi, which at tack the leaves and stems, growing for a time in the interior of the wheat and finally breaking out in the well known rust spots. 2. The "red rust" of the harvesting period ia one stage of the same fungus ;an A FIRST FRUIT OF REPUBLI POLICY. The Philadelphia Inquirer notes that the great firm of Camp Jiros. has increas ed its capital to ::,500,000 by the admis sion of new partners, and has purchased eighty-three acres of river frontage for an extension of its ship yards. This moyement has been made partly as a re sult of that amendment of the United States law which allows ship building firms to increase their capital to -ivi.OoO -000, an.l partly in expectation of a bliwre of the business which will result from government orders for forty new war vessels, and partly in expec tation of a Treat increase of the number of the mer cantile marine Consequent upon our re turn tis a nation to the wise policy of subsidies. "This movement," says the Inquirer, "will double the commercial value of the business transacted at this port." The democratic press will continue to lament the effects of "the robber tariff" and the "dishonest subsidy," but a policy which "doubles the commercial value of the business transacted" in the port of the second city of the republic is not without merit. If the mere prospect of the redemtion of the pledges made in the Chicago platform thus quickens bus iness what will be the measure of pros perity in 1892 if the pledges are prompt ly redeemed? What will the democrats do for an issue when our prosperity is unbounded? They will just say: "It isn't the result of the tariff." The peo ple, however, will note that such pros perity was not olseryable so long as there was a possibility of free trade pol icy being adopted E. W. Potter, the post master at Elm Creek, Neb., says he has personal knowledge of several cases of rheuma tism, in that vicinity, that have been permanently cured by Chamberlain's Pain Balm, after other remedies were used without benefit.
