To Chairmen County Central Commit
tees: "Wiiekeas. At the republican state con
vention held at Lincoln October 5, 1987,
the following resolution was adopted:
Jlesolced, That the state central com
mittee be instructed to embrace in its call
tor the next state convention the submis
sion of the prohibition question to the re
publican voters at the republican pri
manes,
Therefore, in accordance with the
Above resolution, the several county cen
tral committees are hereby instructed to
include in their call for their next county
convention the submission of the prohi
bition question to the kepublicax voters
at the republican primaries.
Geo. D. Meiklejoixx, Chairman.
YVAir. M. Seeley, Secretary.
The convention in Chicago is a strik
ingly different affair from that one held
in St. Louis. The democratic gathering
wa hardly more than a ratification meet
ing; the candidates were ready-made.and
so was the platform; the delegates had
no field for deliberation or independent
action. Whatever the outcome of the
republican convention, it will be the re
sult of the carefully considered and de
liberate judgment of over 800 representa
tive memlers of the party. There is no
dictator, no prearranged program. The
reports from Chicago continue to show
that the situation is indeterminate. The
delegates clearly understood the grayity
of the work in hand, and there is evciy
reason to believe that the best man will
b i chosen.
I)EJIOCI2ATS ARE INCONSIS
TENT. Four years ago they prauced up and
down tha country prophesying that a
continuation of those horrible "war taxes'
would impoverish the people and trans
form mercliantile industries into asylums
for the poor. Let us manage the affairs
of government, said these deciples of
free trade, and civil service reform for
democrats only, and at one fell stroke we
will wipe from the face of the statute
books every vestige of a high protective
tariff which they pictured as more dam
aging than pestilence, famine or war. A
sufficient number of people who were too
old to remember distinctly the past re
cord of this party, or too young to know
from observation that it never made
promises with a view of keeping them,
placed. them in power.
They have now been four years at the
head of the government and for a much
longer time have they Wen in the major
ity in the lower bouse and during all
this time tariff laws continued in force
and mills and factories continued to ran.
But now on the eve of a presidential
a presic
election the democrats come up smiling
with a "Mills Bill" which they offer to
the American people as a teat of their
sincerity in abolishing those abominable
tariff laws.
Now what does this Mills bill propose
to do. Will it reduce the tariff on im
orts regardless of the section of the
country that may be affected thereby?
Oh yes, for whatever else may be said of
democrats their patriotism and their love
of the country is of that pure and undc-
filed sort which know no North, no South,
but one united people.
Now that sounds well enough but its
all in your mind; there's precious little
of it in the bill.
As a matter of fact this measure knocks
the tariff off of wool but leaves rice un
disturbed. Wool is clipped in republi
can states. Hice is grown in Soutli Car-
olin. South Carolina is u democratic
state you know.
According to this bill the tanner who
wishes hoop iron for his wagon bed, must
pay a duty of 1 cents per pound but the
southern planter who desires some of the
same kind of iron to tie cotton bales can
"o to the custom house and secure all the
iron he wishes for this purpose free of
duty. Democrats are inconsistent. That
is to say they are very anxious to
redeem their pledges by taking the tariff
off of articles pioduced in northern states
bur. when it comes to rice, sugar, cotton
tie iron etc., then that .is a horse of a
differeut color.

PRO PUT ETA UY MEDICINES.
A yisit to Dr. Green's Laboratory, at
Woodbury, N. J. has considerably
changed our views, and especially our
prejudices in regard to what are general
ly known as "Standard Patent Medicines.
Of course we are getting to that age in
life when we are forced to conclude life
itself is a humbug, and naturally distrust
anything that has not withstood long and
tried experiences. Being a physician
had the cu-iosity in know how such
sale of two medical preparations pould
be sustained for so many years. The
perfect svstem upon which the business
1 Wf M.
is conducted, and the pharmaceutical ar
rangements for the manufacture of the
two receipes with which we are made
acquainted, are sufficiently convincing to
us that the August Flower, for Dyspep
sia and Liver Complaints, and Boschee's
German Syrup, for Throat, aad f.un
Troubles, were for the complaints they
are recommended, most excellent reme
dies, and only regret that in much of
our practice, medical ethics prevent us
from prescribing them without making
the formulas public. U'kec we were
shown the great quautity of voluntary
letters having been forwarded Dr. Green,
from all parts of the couutry, and from
ill classes of people, lawyers, ministers
and doctors, givicg; 3. description of their
ailments, testimonials of their cures etc.,
I feel like endorsing Dr. Green's sugges
tion that the Government accept such
valuable formula, $rt license them for
general use by giving protection to Ijic
Inventor same 83 patents generally.

of Oct., 1886.
Scarlet fever Is at its minimum from Jan
uary to Alay, and at its maximum in Octo
ber and .November. Diphtheria is more
evenly distributed through the year, and is
most dangerous a iittla later than scarlet
fever. Measles and chopping cough seem to
be somewhat aggravated by asld ireather.
but are most fatal in May and J una iiot
weather is averse to smallpox and favorable
to disorders of the bowels, particularly in

An Explanation,
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted ? If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in timts
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pnss it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appreci
ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous.

of manures that will bo. wise in all cases.
Opinions differ somewhat as to tne

late autumn or early winter. Circum
stances alter cases here as elsewhere. It
seems, however, reasonable to maintain
that winter top dressing should bo re
stricted to level fields; for both rain and
snow must sweep manure from frozen
hillsides before its constituents have haa
anv fair chance to soak into the ground.
There are advocates both at home and
abroad of the practice of carting out fresh
manure from the barn yard as fast as it

doubtless the saving of labor.

may be said that horse droppings an4
manure from sheep pons should bo applied
by preference to cold clayey loams, or to
moist soils rich in bumus. These hot
manures tend to warm and enliven the
land- On the other hand, the slowly
fermenting cow manure Is preferred for
warm light soils. On light sandy soils It
will be found a good plan when using
horse manure to mix it with some slow
sort, as cow or swine manure.
Comb Iloney In Small Packages.
In Gleanings in Bee Culture is described
the plan of a Michigan apiarian by which
he gets two small packages of comb honey
that have proven very popular In his Pap
ket. A seven-eighths board is selected just
long enough to slip inside of a Langstroth
frame. Then with a jaek plane, set coarse,
ho scoops off the shavings. The shavings
of course roll up, but ho tumbles them
into a pail of water, and when they get
well soaked, thev are straightened out.
piled up and dried. This gives thin strips
of veneer, and cheaper than you ean im

second eugTaving. The Langstroth frame
is slipped over this ooai'd-
Theso little blocks are made by gluing
a three-eighths board on top of a seven
eighths board, as you see. Now, with a
circular saw, cut grooves clear through
the thin board until the saw strikes the
thick one. These grooves aro of such a
width that three of tho aforo mentioned
strips of veneer will drop Into each
groove, the strips running lengthwise of
tho frame. When this is done, three
short pieces of veneer are dropped into
the grooves crosswise. But to make
these bits of wood stay in place when the
frame is pulled up. a" little glue is put

Of Interest to lle Keepers.
The query recently sent out to authori
ties on bee culture by "Gleaning in Bee
Culture "Do you prefer tho entrance
at the end f,l tha framo? Why?" elicited
quite a nunil
iber pi
' replies Jncludpg plal
J'PS and "no, ana several answers to
the effect that it piakes no difference.
In
a word, a consideration of all the rcplj?3
justifies the conclusion that it does not
make any difference about the amount of
honey stored, whether the bees go into
the WS"5 sidewise or endwise. But so
far as aiding ins tecs jn housecleaniiig,
expelling intruders, etc., Is'concerned, the
endwise door appears to offer tho best
facilities. It also seems as if an cntranco
tuj fu!J wjdth of the hive, with the combs
running endwise, must offer the bees, htj;
ter facilities for perfect ventilation.'
