of values of the two metals so that the
phasing and debt paying power of a
ar, whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal. The interests
• the producers of the country, its farm
ers and its workingmen, demand that
every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the
government, shall be as good as any other.
We commend the wise and patriotic
steps already taken by our government to
secure an international conference to
adopt such measures as will insure the
parity of value between gold and silver
for use as money throughout the world.
We demand that every citizen of the
United States shall be allowed to cast one
free and unrestricted ballet in all public
elections, and that such ballot shall be
counted and returned as cast; that such
laws shall be enacted and enforced as will
secure to every citizen, be he rich or poor,
native nr foreign born, white or black,
this s vereign right guaranteed by the
constitution. A free and unrestricted
popular ballot, just and equal representa
tion of all people, as well as their jost and
equal protection under the laws, are the
foundation of our Republican institutions
and the party will never relent In its ef
forts until the integrity of the ballot and
the purity of elections shall he fully guar
anteed and protected in every state. We
denounce the continued inhuman outrages
perpetrated upon American citizens for
for political reasons in certain southern
states.
We favor an extension of our foreign
commerce, the restoration of our mercan
tile marine by home built ships and the
creation of a navy for the protection of
oar national interests and the honor of
our flag, the maintenance of most friendly
relations with all foreign powers, entan
gling alliance with none, and protection
of the rights of our fishermen.
We reaffirm oar approval of the Monroe
doctrine and believe m the achievement of
the manifest destiny of the republic in its
broadest sense.
We favor the enactment of more strin
gent laws and regulations for the restric
tion of criminal, pauper and contract im
migration.
We favor efficient legislation by congress
to protect the life ana limbs of the em
ployes of trai
ed in the
homestead laws, of arid public lands to
the states and territories in which they lie,
under such congressional restrictions as to
disposition, reclamation and occupancy by
settlers as will secure maximum benefits
to the people.
The world’s Columbian exposition Is a
great national undertaking and congress
should promptly enact such reasonable
legislation iu aid thereof as will insure the
discharging of the expense and obligation^
incident thereto and the attainment of re
Bults commensurate with the dignity and
progress of the nation.
We sympathize with all wise and legiti
mate efforts to lessen and prevent the
evils of intemperance and promote moral-
^5ver mindful of the services and sacrifl
ccs of the men who saved the life of tha
nation, we pledge anew to the veteran
soldiers of tne republic a watchful care
and recognition of their claims upon a
grateful people.
We commend the able, patroitic and
thouroughly’ American administration
of President Harrison. Under it the coun
try has enjoyed remarkable prosperity,
and the diguity of the nation at home and
abroad have been faithfully maintained
and we offef the record of pledges kept as
a guarantee of faithful performances in
tha future.

A Monstrous Turtle.
A great many years ago, when our
grandfathers were very young, and be
fore the flood, there used to be a strange _ ... ., . , . ,
looking animal -called the glyptodon. JWs.^ifljthBirtrieta
He was called a glyptodon because he ^sometimes l used
had fluted teeth, and perhaps because
the people who named him hadn’t heard
tarts. We should doubtless have
called him a tartodon, because his back,
in the pictures we have of him, really
resembles a tart more than anything
else, though it weighed somewhat more
than most tarts do before they are eaten.
The glyptodon also had four feet, and
conld always tell his hind legs from his
front ones by tho singular fact that his
hind feet had five toes each, while the
front feet had to get along on four.
This animal does not exist at the pres
ent time, and it is just as well that he
doesn’t, because ho could he very dis
agreeable if he wanted to. as you can
very well imagine when yon remember
that he was really nothing more than a
turtle, and he was quite as large as an
ordinary elephant in his stocking feet.—

Antique Andirons.
A common form of andiron in the
of the dealers in antiques is a
brazen affair with a ball from two
to three inches in diameter at the top
a shert shaft that widens and . narrows
every inch of its length and legs that
suggest branch forms. They are really
a development of the early wrought iron
creepers. They are as often as not from
fifty to 150 years old. They are inva
riably of cast brass, with horizontal
bars of wrought iron,. Shovel, tongs and
poker of wrought iron, with brass
handles, may be bought with them
sometimes.—New York Sul
“Paul, oh, Paul, come here; do!” called
out Mrs. Greylock from the cabin door,
as she held in her hand a letter we had
just brought in from the store where the
postoffice was.
“All right, old woman, Pm a-comin
right along,” came in the deep tones of
her husband's voice, as the old man
strode in from the barn; “what’s the
row?”
“It’s a letter from Haidee, an Bhe'B got
a boy, an Jack wants it called after
you,” said Mrs. Greylock, all in a breath.
“Wa-al, 1 call that handsome in Jack
Furaisa, blest ef 1 don’t. An Haidee’s
got a baby—why, sho! Old woman, yon
and 1 is grandfathers. Hoop!” And the
old man fairly jumped off the ground in
his excitement
•After the letter had been read and. re
read by the delighted couple and com
mented on during sapper, Paul told ns
the story of his daughter’s marriage as
we sat around the fire in the evening.
“To think of Haidee’s havin a baby,”
began the old man; “why, it don’t seem
but yesterday when she was
own self. You
bad given me six hoys,
an nice fellers they was,
it They kept the cabin
with their tricks an {
tot
kind of pleasant to have a girl ’round. 1
didn't say notbin of the kind, bat the
ol J woman knowed what I were think™
about, an 1 guess that she were as glad
as I be when Haidee were born. '
“The way she got her name were bind
of curious, too, for, as far as 1 know,
none of the Greylocks nor the old wom
an’s folkses ever were called no such
flame afore. ’Bout a month afore she
was born, we were livin here in Texas
an the country were pretty wild, an a
stranger came along an asked to stop all
night Wa’al, in, course we took him
in, an the old woman she gave him a
good supper. In the mornin he went
away, but he dropped onter his saddle
hags some leaves of a book. I dunno
what the book were, only it were writ
in poetry an it told how some Greaser
(Mexican) called Don. Juan were wrecked
on an island, an how he come across
some girl named Haidee, an a monstrous
likely girl she must have bin from the
story. ’Cordin as the book were writ,
she were the prettiest girl yon ever see,
strong, an she were just the life of the
house. She were as pretty—wa’al, she
were as pretty as she could be; no girl
could be any prettier, an her mother
just thought the world of her.
“Time went on, an Haidee growed np
to be seventeen, an the yoqng fellers be
gan to come ’round the cabin a good deal.
I never ’spieioned what they come tor
more’n a mole ’spicions what kind of
work he’s goin to do when you’re breakin
him, an I used to think they come to
hear me tell stories. The old woman
was sharper than me, bat she never let
on; an thar I sot an told them beys
stories, an didn’t know no more what
were goin on than a coyote do ’boat poli
tics. Thar were one feller in particTer,
Jack Fnrniss by name, who used to
come ’bout three times a week. He
were a fine, manly sort of a chap, a good
frontiersman, a good fighter, tho’ he
weren’t very old, an 1 liked him. Fact,
I liked him so mnch that 1 always asked
him to come again when he’d get np to
go. Jack were always makin me pres
ents; he gin me that revolver over thar,
an he was everlastinly bringin wild tur
keys or venison or bar meat to the old
woman.
. “I used to wonder sometimes what on
earth he done it for, bat then I didn’t
have as mnch sense as a moccasin snake
in them days. One day Jack an me were
standin out by the corral an he seemed
nervous like, an 1 asked him what were
aim ’cept he were a terrible man to eat,
an be rode the poorest critter I ever see.. When she heard me she Come back an ■ An lmportant Potnt *“ t ‘*° Cultivation;
■ of Those Two Crops.
Early planted crops, or ground that was
early worked, may have become more
or less crusted on the surface. With a
good steel rake pulverize this surface
and change it to a finely mellowed top
soil. This will hasten growth, and an)
foul seeds just starting will be destroyed,
according to Country Gentleman, which
illustrates as follows another important
point in the cultivation of potatoes ai.d
corn:
Iu cultivating potatoes, avoid the
common practice of drawing the earth
in hills around the plants, becaus in
doing so. you scrape the earth aw;
from the roots between the rows, and \>ii-i
it up needlessly high against the plants.
The hill, with the natural level and tho
mass of soil piled above it, is shown hv
one of the tignres of the cnt. The ef
fects of the two methods may be easily
tested by experiment. Cultivate ten
rows level and ten in heaps, and the
level hills, when the crop is measured,
will have from 10 to 20 per cent, more
potatoes. There will be a difference be
tween slight hills, and steep hills, and
there will be a difference in soils. Try
both ways and compare the resifits.
trembly like: ‘Daddy,’ says she. ‘Daddy
I’m sorry for" what l said. Do try an
like Jack. He does love me, daddy, an
I love him; an if yon’ll love him, too.
we’ll all be so happy.’ Bnt 1 couldn’t
give in, the pill were too bitter; so 1 told
her Fd never consent.
“That evenin my old woman, who
were all on Jack’s side, an me had the
only quarrel I recollects since our mar
riage. I told hor all of the stories
’gainst Jack I’d ever beard, but it didn't
have no effect. Now, as a matter of
fact, Jack Furniss weren’t no worse than
most young men on the border—he were
really a great deal better. But it seemed
to me, when I thought of him in a fight,
as tho’ no man ever got into a fight
afore; an when I’d think of bis drinkin
a little, it were like he were drank all
the time in my mind. The old woman
used to tell me he were no worse than I
were myself, an 1 couldn’t say he were,
bnt for all that I b’lieve he were. Fact
is, I hated him then, so I’d have b’lieved

ERROR IN HILLING POTATOES AND CORN.
Take the same care in cultivuni g
corn, the roots of which are nearer tue
surface than potato roots and more easi
ly injured. Both corn and potatoes send
out roots from the young plants two or
three times as long as the height of tho
plants. Avoid cutting the corn roots,
therefore, near the plants. In flic cot in
also represented a hilled young corn
plant, the dotted lines showing how the
roots are cut off when working deep
and near.
