OffleUI Orpw of Webster Countj.
TUESDAY. WOT. 18. 1884.
1,078.
The official canvass of the votes
of New York gives Cleveland a
plurality of 1,078.
The New York Times thus cour
teously refers to one of Its contem
poraries: “The dissatisfied person
who sits aloft in the Tall Tower
and keeps tbo news out ot .the
Tribune’s columns.”
Persous desiring office under
the Incoming administration need
not take the trouble to apply
Qov. Cleveland, as it is said that
- he has ordered bis secretary
burn all letters applying for office
It was thoughtful of President
Arthur to withhold bis proclama
tlon for a day of thanksgiving until
he was assured ol Cleveland
eleotion. But there are same mem
bers of his party who are not quite
up to appreciation of such thought
fulness.
Joe Barstow, of Lancaster coun
ty, Pa., who made a vow twenty
four years ago that he would not
shave Until a Democrat was elected
President, has taken for granted
that the question is settled, and
barbor recently removed the beard
which was nearly as long as him
self.
A GOOD F1UIIT.
Mr. Blaine and bis national com
mitteemen having conceded Clove
land’s election, are now consoling
themselves with the reflection that
under all the circumstances they
“made a good light.”
Well, probably they did.
Considering the lact that the
Republican party went into the
campaign under the leadership of
a man whose official life is tattooed
with corruption and jobbery, while
the party record was smirched with
the robberies of the Star Route
ring, the Credit Mobilier scandal
and a general plundering ot the
publio treasury, to say nothing of
the stealing of the Presidency, it
is perhaps a little remarkable that
the ticket got any votes at all.
Considering the further fact,
however, that they went into the
uampaigu backed by all the official
power and patronage of the gener
al government with its hundred
thousand office-holders to whoop
up the enthusiasm, whilo money
was. freely supplied by the thieves
who had plundered the treasury
and tho monopolists who had plun
dered the people, with a large
mass of the voters of tho country
debauobed by years of bribery, it
may bo doubted if tho fight was
sucli a brilliant one after all.
Considering tho manner in which
tho fight was conducted and the
character ot the men engaged in it,
it la extremely doubtful if the light
can be considered a good one in
any sense of the word.
If the fight ol tho Republicans
was a good one, what cannot be
said of tho fight of the Democrats,
who went into the campaign
baeked only by the honest pur
pose of priaciplc and a desire to
restore (o the country an honest
administration of the government?
They can indeed Hay wo have
fought tho good light and the vic
tory is ours.
GEORGIA AS A TRUCK FARMER.
It is not the exactly the time of
year to comment an the truck farm
ing industry, but the report of Dr.
Powell, Superintendent of the
Qeergia Lunatio Asylum, contains
a document that reminds the pub
lic that tho State of Georgia itself
is quite a successful truck farmer
through its representatives at Mil-
ledgevillc. The document alluded
to la the report of the gardener,
Samuel A. Cook, Esq.
The garden of tho asylum con
sists of a little oyer seventy-five
acres, and the statement of receipts
and expenditures show that, unlike
most public enterprises of the kind,
it not only pays iu own way, but
considerably over 100 per cent,
profit besides. The expenses of
the garden during the year were
12,043, ot which only $867.93 is
charged to the labor account, while
$260 Is charged to the rent of five
molt* and two carta, and $60$ for
fertilizers, including $200 worth of
stable manure made on the place.
The balance of the expense account
consists of bills for seeds—about
|200—and implements. The ac
count does not include the salary
of the gardener, hence it may be
taken as a fair sample of a truck
farm operated by the owner.
The products of the farm, all
consumed in the asylum, aggre
gate, at a low valuation, $4,571.50,
and the prices placed on many
items appear to be much lower than
the asylum would have had to pay
for them had they been purchased
from outside parties. Among the
principal items are 484 bushels ot
Irish potatoes at $1; 280 bushels
radishes at 50 cents; 77 bushels
English peas St $2; 204 bushels to
matoes at $1; 900 bushels turnips
at 50 cents, 2,800 heads cabbage at
8 cents, 105 bushels butter beans
at $1, and 600 bushels sweet pota
toes at 50 centB.
To more fully appreciate the
value of these figures as illustrating
the possibilities of properly conduc
ted truck farmiog in Ueo-gia, it
must be taken into consideration
that the soil of the gardens of the
asylum is not only tliin and thirs
ty, but also rooky, so as to render
high cultivation very difficult, and
that the present season has not been
a favorable one for farming opera
tions of any kind.

Tottered and Fell in a Day
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trrde did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
