THE REPUBLICANS QUARRELING
ALREADY.
The Republican Landslide Will Serve to
Unite the Democratic Party —Quny
a Candidate for President,
WasHINGTON, Nov. 11. —Democrats
are extracting considerable consolation
out ot the old political maxim, that ‘‘a
party is never in such great danger as
just after it has won a great victory,”
and that it is a wise maxim the politi-
al upheavals of the last eight ten
years fully prove. No greater political
victory was ever won in this country
than that which in 1892 put the Dem-
ocrats in possession the executive
and legislative branches of the govern-
ment. Yet, look what followed. In
1894, dissension in Democratic ranks,
and a Republican Congressional
tory; in 1895, more Democratic dissen-
sion and Republican victories in states
heretofore safely Democratic. The
dissension in the ranks of the victor-
ious Republican party is already mark-
ed, and it is not confined to the fight
over the presidential candidate of the
party, but includes the policy to be
followed by the overwhelming Repub-
lican majority in the House during the
coming of Congress. Thess
dissensions even extend to the tarifl
question. Senator Sherman lately
said that he would vote for no
amending the tariff that did not pro-
vide a duty for wool, and Representa-
tive Dalzel, of Penna., who may
the next Chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, says the
tariff is going to be amended and du-
ties raised. Now comes ex-Senato
Maunderson, of Nebraska, who point-
edly says, “The Republicans cannot
afford to open up the tariff question
If an attempt is made to put duty
on wool or any other article, every in-
dustry will rush in and demand more
protection.’”” This being thesituation,
it is natural that Democrats should
expect their prospects in the national
campaign to be much improved by
existing dissensions in the Republican
party and those certain to be engen-
dered during the session of

there was a vital principle in the
trines of Democracy which
tined to make the party
which will always make
tant.”
The political whirlagig turns up
some queer things, but when it turned
up Boss Quay as a candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination it
turned up something queerer than us-
ual. When it was first mentioned in
Washington that some of the little
Republican papers in Pennsylvania
were booming Quay for the nomina-
tion it was regarded as a sort of joke
on Quay, sprung by some well-mean-
ing editor who was seriously grateful
for favors done and hopeful of those
yet to come and who really believed
that Quay was big enough for such an
honor. His candidacy is no longer re-
garded as a joke. He is seriously in
the field and has a literary bureau
working up. sentiment in his favor.
At first glance one is inclined say
that Quay is throwing good money
away, so small is his chance to win,
but when one considers that Quay has
made “big government appropriations
and liberal expenditures upon all sorts
of internal improvements,” the corner
stone of his candidacy, and remembers
the success of Republicans in the past
who had no other political capital than
“the old flag and an appropriation,”
one doesn’t feel so certain about it. It
may be that Quay thought that Tom
Reed was having too much of a walk
over, and that his candidacy is put
forth merely as a foundation for a good
dicker.
Hon. William F, Harrity, Chair-
man of the Democratic National Com-
mittee, who have been in Washington
for several days, believes it is always
good politics to keep a stiff upper lip
no matter how the returns come in.
This is the way he sized up the effect of
last week's election on the democratic
party: “While the elections show
great republican victories, they have
not disheartened us, by manner or
means, We shail get together again
by next November and we will make
a good showing in the next campaign.
We will select a good candidate and
we will show the country that the
democratic party is still very much
alive.”
Ex-Congressman Somers, of Wiscon-
sin, now in Washington on private
business, has a record as a good demo-
erat and a shrewd observer of the trend
of democratic sentiment in his state,
He said when asked who the demo-
crats of that state favored for the
presidential nomination: “They are
thoroughly in accord with President
Cleveland, and I believe that were he
was des-
great,
it impor-
and
to
to announce himself as a candidate for
a third term he could obtain the entire
delegation. Carlisle stands second,
with W. C. Whitney very close to
him. Either would make a good can-
didate and a strong campaign.” Ex-
Congessman Holman, of Indiana, who
thoroughly knows the democratic
party of his state, says Indiana demo-
crats have never seriously considered
that there was any probability of Pre-
sident Cleveland again becoming a
candidate, and that they do not believe
it has been seriously considered any-
where else. Mr. Holman thinks that
if no mistake is made in the
next year.

New Pointer to Make Chickens Lay.
A Mr. Line, of Berks county, is a
great chicken raiser and egg producer |
in Lower Alsace twp. His plan in|
brief is to make his hens work for a
living. Mr. Line says :
“It is necessary to make hens scratch
for a living.
“I accomplish this by feeding corn |
yn the cob instead of sheliing it. I |
take what I consider a necessary num-
ber of ears, split them up into small
parts and throw them to the chickens,
leaving the grains of corn on the cob. |
This makes them work in order to se-|
cure a meal, and work of this kind
absolutely required to the production |
of eggs.
“I have observed this principle of]
feeding for some years and have been |
satisfied with the results, because my
hens lay in the fall and winter, when
eggs are high ih price.”
Respectfully submitted to Ben Ar-
ney, Dan Rote, Mose Richard, George
Ocker, Will Meyer, and other chicken
fanciers on our list.

decided that an employer is not liable
for injury to persons working for him
when the injury results from the neg-

A Largs Number,
Quite a number of deaths among the
older class of people of our valley have
occurred within the past three or four
months, with considerably less among
those under adult ages. The reaper
has swung his sickle among the ripe
in years, and prepared or unprepared,
has summoned them to the eternal
shores for the ir reward for deeds done
in this life. May all have departed in
that hope which alone brings joy to
the soul in its closing moments upon
earth.
For the first time in many years the
“Reporter” was delayed one day last
week, to secure the insertion of matter
that was sent in late.

States has declared all laws exacting

What is a Plow, —
Y..: valley farmers may think
they are using the biggest plows, but
here is an eyeopener: The largest
plow in the world is owned by Rich-
ard Gird, Chino, Cal. It is 18 feet
high, and weighs 36,000 Ibs. With a
consumption of two tons of coal, it
can plow 50 acres a day.
We saw a harvesting machine in
California, which is also of immense
proportions. Ithas a knife that will
cut from 20 to 40 feet in width, requires
80 mules to draw the machine which
is manned by five men, and cuts,
threshes, cleans and sacks the wheat.
If one of these harvesters were practi-
cal on a Centre county farm, many of
our farmers could have their crops cut,
threshed, cleaned and sacked. before

Protect the Implements,
It is cheaper to provide a place for
the tools and farm implements than
permit them to be exposed to all kinds
of weather. Rust on tools is costly, as
it increases labor and friction. Any
tool, implement or machine that is not
protected from dampness will not
again prove satisfactory when used.
The cost of repairs to tools is quite an
item on some farms, and much of the
expense for such repairs is due to the
lack of care to the implements.
