REMEMBER TKI8 1
It Is rciKirttil here that George Il'nsli-
tnqton Baser, of Mattch Chunk, while nt
Glon Unoko last Jl'ednesilay mado the
remark, that "In case the Democracy of
Ihlchton failed to support Michael
Cassldy for Congress, no I.chighton
democrat should have an ofllce for ten
yam, as the Irish would riaugAtrr them
every time." The Democratic voters of
the loner end will please paste this In
their hats for reference on election clay.
It Im the duty qf every honest and Intellt-
licnt Democratic toter to support no
ni(in who represents cliques or bos.ies.
Remember this tchen you elect delegates,
THE DUTY OF BVERY VOTER.
It Is the duty of every good citizen to
see that he Is properly registered hefore
September 2d. New and Important Is
aacs are constantly arising, the proper
settlement of which devolve on the vet
er. Consequently he should see to It
that his ballot Is cast In such a way as
will not conflict with his Individual
rights as a citizen. Three tickets will
be spread prominently before the voters
of this commonwealth at the comhr
election, all backed up by the usual
heavy platform advocating the proper
advancement of labor, reconstruction of
tho tariff, and total prohibition, all
qmsllons of momentous Importance, but
which are merely thrown out by politi
cal parties as a net to catch votes. A
careful study of political matters and
tho character of the individuals nomin
ated is the duty of every Democrat, Re
publican and Prohibitionist who has
tho Interest of the commonwealth at
heart.
A8 REVISED BY MR. JENKS.
It Is bnt little more than a week ago
that Solicitor-General Jenks was asked
by an unenlightened officeholder In
Kentucky for the correct Interpretation
of President Cleveland's older
intended to regulate the officeholder's
connection with polttlcs Onepoitlon
of Mr. Jenks's reply was that, as he.
understood It, "the oiliclal Influence of
the officer shall be entirely divorced
from polities." Mr. Gross, the appll
cant, a United States Marshal, con
cluded not to attend a Democratic Con
vention, as he had hoped to do.
We find now that an Interview be
tween Mr. Jenks and a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times, In which he
peaks as freely about the coming cam.
palgn in Pennsylvania from a partisan
standpoint as though he had never seen
tho President's order nor the Inside of a
Government ofllce, has drawn from him
a more defined construction of the order.
It Is as fallows :
"President Cleveland prohibited office
holders from Interfciing vvltbthmlghtsof the
people, whose servants, nnd not masters, they
r-. As I understand It, no man Is debarred
from expresses his opinions nor ot taking
part In campaign after the tickets arc m the
Held. Tho President's views, as they uccomo
better understood, w 111 Insure universal an
proval."
According to this view the Convention
marks the lino beyond which the office
holder ranst not iass, but he Is still free
to mount the stump. That pinnacle is
still his to climb, and although he could
havo had no share In the selection of tho
candidate whom, as an unswerving par
tisan, it Is his duty to eulogize, his rh;ht
to deliver tho eulogy Is officially allowed.
Mr. Jenks says that as the President's
views become better understood they
will Insure universal approval. The
question Is, ll'lll Mr. Cleveland adopt
Mr. Jenks's fino distinction made he
tvveon an officeholder's privileges before
and after the Convention?
THE PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
The Prohibition convention met at
Tfarrlsbtirg, ednesday, and adjourned
In the evening till Thursday, without
having made any nomination for Gov
ernor. Commenting on tho subject, the
Philadelphia Times says: Tho spectacle
of a political convention dtvntlng nn
hour' of Its time to devotional exercises
h something entirely novel. No one
can follow tho proceedings of tho great
gathering at Ilarrlsburg without feeling
that these men arc sincere In the course
tbey are pursuing. The time has gone
by when the nauie of Prohibitionist Is
to be sneered at. The convention repre
sents a great moral sentiment. I.Ike the
doctrine of the Abolitionist It must grow.
From a small and insignificant body, the
butt of thepolitlclans,thi Prohibitionists
have expanded Into a party which is
bound to make ttitll felt. Xothlng can
stop Its development. It has forced It
self to the front until it Is at last In a
position to command the attention w hlch
li has long sought In vain.
Prohibition Is not only a grave social
question, but It has become a factor in
politics. There are no great Issues bo
foro tho country. The brilliant leader
of the RcpnMIcas party In the late na
tional campaign can find Dotting more
startling than the tariff. With both
great parties Indorsing practically the
same platform so far as It relates to tho
taxation of Imports, something else must
be fonnd to stiffen the lines of parly.
Unless some unexpected question of
foreign policy shall sweep everything
lso before It the temperance problem
cannot, bo Ignored two years from now.
As the Republican party grew out of
the 11'hljr, the third party may ytt force
tu Republicans out of business nt the
old stand. It Is not Improbable that the
Prohibitionists vmj hold the balance of
power In the next Presidential campaign
and carry with It the Inevitabl disruption
( party lies later on, It Is these, posst-
UlUUs that make the proceedings at
Ilarrlsburg of wore than ordinary Im
portance. There seems to be little doubt thftt
the convention will nominate Charles S,
ll'olfe us Its standard-bearer for Go ci n
or. Ill this it w III act w Isely, Tho Pro
blbltloutiu have wanted leaders. In
ll'ulfe they will have one. There is no
breath of suspicion against hliu. He has
had the training of practical politics, but
there Is no stain upon bis career. He is
without doubt the strongest man lu the
party with which he has chosen to from
an alliance, lie has the advantage of a
wide personal acquaintance all over the
State, vnd he will take the stump and
make a most aggre ssivo campaign. It

Special to the Camion Advocatk.
"Here's a pretty how d'yo do." The
drag net Is coming In, and mighty big
fish aic In the haul. Sampson pulls
down the house, but his friends nrc en
gulfed hi ruin with tho Phllllstincs.
Who outside of -tho King would have
thought sixty days ngo that such tre
mendous consequences hung upon the
life of it single man. Hubert O. Thomp
son dead, Is as potent a factor In political
villainy as Hubert O. Thompson living,
the Commissioner of the Hoard of Public
Works, with millions of patronage at his
disposal. "These be your honest men,
good sir!" "This is the timber out of
which you carvo your rulers."
Two Mayors, one going out and Iho
other coming In, are playing a grabgame
for public plunder. Krisou want to
circumvent Grace, and Grace wants to
knock out Ertson. Heelers, strikers,
gamblers, thieves and villains of every
degree, are mixed up In tho light; neither
of their Honors seems nt all choice about
his company both want votes, and they
are not particular how they got thorn, or
from whom. Totes hers havo a sub.
stantlal commercial value, and no one
understands this better thau aN'cvv York
alderman. That's politics, as Mr.
Thompson remarked, when he handed
Squire the dummy and pocketed the or
iginal letter. No wonder Squire ex
claimed In the bitterness of Ills soul,
when he loitnd out the trick, "D n
fitch politics." What a shocking reve
lation rises from the grave of this dead
commissioner, over which his boon com
panions, of the last ten years, refuse, to
put a stone. And right hero tho ques
tion Is forced upon us: Did Hubert O,
Thompson die by his own hand? Tho
halo hearty man of thirty-eight the
life of thcCountv Democracy the terror
of Tammany tho Idol of the Pugs and
Thugs tho Jupiter Tonansof State and
County conventions, is suddenly taken
ill. The portly gentleman who tipped
the scale at a trlflo short of three hun
dred begins to lose flesh, and men notice
that his flow of spirits was not as free
as of old; soft-shelled crabs, truffles,
pato do fols gras, Vermouth, lobster
salad, whisky sour and champagne, arc
now putting in their fine work, and Mr.
Thompson Is not himself. Dyspepsia
some say. No, no; not that; the com
plaint lies deeper. Friends hint at soft
ening of tho brain. Possibly, yet that's
not it; the complaint lie) deeper still,
and for Ills 111 earth affords no remedy,
and Mr." Thompson knows It. In a lit
tle box in the magnificent Safe Deposit
building, is a crumpled bit of paper,
which Is to carry civil and political dam
nation to tho foremost politicians of the
city. It tells a terrible story that little
bit of paper, of venality, treachery, cor
ruption, crime unparalleled. A wretch
ed adventurer and trickster is put for
ward as a puppet by the political gam
blers, who nro playing for tho city's
plunder. They stop at nothing; rob
bery Is their trade, cheating their pas
time, If murder wero necessary, they
would commit It without a twinge. All
of the parties engaged in tho villainous
compact were men of more than aver
age Intelligence, and each fully under
stood the consequences of his crime.
Thompson inspires the letter; Flvnn
dictates it; Squire signs It; Flynn holds
It; Thompson gets It. So farall Is safe.
Squire Is elected, and then realizes that
he has drawn the bolts of tho State pris
on on himself, unless ho can recover
that fatal letter. He goes to Thomp
son gets down on his knees, and begs
for Its restoration; after a tlmo Thomp
son gives It to him. In the wild delir
ium of a man suddenly reprieved from
the gallows he tears tho fatal letter In
a thousand pieces and casts tho pieces
In the lire. He Is saved. In front of
him sits the fat commissioner laughing
In his sleeve at tho trick ho has played
upon him; as Squito rises to his feet a
free man, and no longer the abject slave
of the holder of tho letter, his port is
changed at once the cringing sycophant
of a moment ago, now carries his head
high, and the very next day forty of Mr.
Thompson's friends are kicked out of the
Board of Public Works. Thompson ap
pears to Squire, and Squlro gives Thomp
son to understand that he owes hliu no
obligation. Maurice It. Flynn Is now
the director of the Hoard of Public
Works, and from him Mr. Squire takes
his orders. Then como rumors that the
letter Is not destroyed, In which Squire
bartered away ids body and soul to Flynn,
to obtain the office of Commissioner of
the Hoard of Public Works. Iiuln stares
him In tho face; ho goes to Thompson
and taxes him with his perfidy, Thomp
son acknowledges the corn, and replies
to Squire, "That's politics,"
D n such politics, says Squire.
Yes such politics are accursed, accursed
of God, and stamped with tho seal of
condemnation bv every honest man. It
Is politics like tills that have debauched,
debased and corrupted the heaits of
our public men; they have staked their
nil upon political success, and gathered
In the Dead Sea's fruit of ashes. Did
Hubert O. Thompson die by his own
hand? Let us sec. For the last six years
Mr. Thompson held almost unlimited
power lu New York, and to him morn
than any man Hying or dead wasGrover
Cleveland Indebted for his election to
tho Presidency. "Hum, liomanlsui and
liebelllon" was only a feather in the scale
alongside of the Imperial service of Hub
ert O. Thompson, and the County Dem
ocracy of New York. The President
knew and acknowledged the obligation;
but ho could not requite it with the New
York collectorshlp for ho knew the
character of his man, and he dared not
Imperil his own high position by making
the appointment. A man never heard
of in New York politics was selected for
tho place, ami Thompson, who had
elected the President had taken him,
the unknown Mayorof nn Inland town,
and had madchtui Governor of tho State
of New York, and before his term of
Governor expired, mado him Prlsident
of the United States, found his power
waning and the ground crumbling be
neath his feet. Old time fi lends avoid
ed him the summer flies Uew hack to
the enemy's camp; his money was gone,
and nobody cared to loan the man who
wn3 bankrupt In character and money.
That's polities; no wonder Hubert O.
Thompson felt sick, for the future held
foi Ih no hope, and damning secret that
was gnawing at his vitals, gave him a
taste of that punishment which tbey
' tell v 3 reierved fo- the unrighteous
bevond the grave there was nothing
left but dnith and vengeance; ho choso
both and dragged down the pillars- of
the homo about him, cngulllng friends
and etionlioa altko In one common
ruin.
Squlro hears of tho death of Thompson
with Infinito satisfaction. His foo Is
dead, and tho letter will trouble him no
more; but the dead hand strikes from
tho giavc, tho fatal letter has passed In
to tho possession of his bitterest enemy,
W111..R. Grace, the Mayor of New York.
When it was hlntqd that such n letter
was In existence, Mr. Squlro dented that
ho ever wrote It, and Maurice JJ. Flynn
who Indited it, declared 011 Ids honor
that lie never heard of It. What a reve
lation to go forth to the world as an In
dication of tho blessings of n llcpuullcan
form of government. Look at tho net
and mark what it drags up from this foul
and slimy sen. Two mayors with char
acters smirched and blackened. Two
Commissioners of Public Works, with
records that may lodge the only living
one In penitentiary. Nearly the entire
Hoard of Aldermen In the criminal dock.
The President of tho Hoard of Health
with States prison staring him In the
face. The Clly Chamberlain under fear
of criminal Indictment. Tho late Sheriff,
the companion of th eves, and a fugitive,
from justice. That's politics. Yes, It
Is just such politics that has placed these
men In public life, and made possible as
our rulers Paddy Diver, Jimmy Oliver,
Mike Norton ami Fatty Walsh. It Is,
at least, a satisfaction to feel that we.
have sounded the piofoundcst depths of
political degradation, and if we move at
all It must be. upward. There is some
thing radically wrong In our present
system of municipal government, but
how to remedy It as Hamlet says, "Aye,
that's the question."
From the Improvements now going
on another old landmark will soon dis
appear from Broadway, and the home
stead of the millionaire Goelcts will be a
thing of tho past. Long years ago when
their comfortable homo by the Hattery
became sui rounded by the marts of trade,
old Peter Goclet and his brother fled In
to tho country, which now lies between
Union and Madison Square. They built
a largo square substantial house sur
rounded by ample grounds, and hero
they lived and died. Tho city grew
around them, but they refused to move.
Pet cows ramblo about the enclosure,
and peacocks, jungle fowl and otherrare
birds, played on the grass or hid in the
shrubbery. The roar of n great city
night and day, surged and thundered
against their doors, but they heard It
not, for they were both as deaf as ad
ders. Their thousands swelled to mil
lions, and their millions to tens of mil
lions, but they were still tho same close
penurious pair that they were when they
began fighting tho battle of life. They
wrote receipts on odd scraps of paper,
sewed their buttons on their clothes,
and rolled up a fortune of twenty mill
ions and then died. Their great fortune
passed to their nephews, Ogden Goelet
and FlbrlJge Gerry, both llberalminded,
generous gentlemen Mr. Gerry being
Commodore of tho Now York Yacht
Club, and President of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
and Mr. Goelet one of tho foremost
Yachtsman In the United States.
It has been a tremendous week for our
city by the sca,Coney Island. Gilmore,
tho Great, has been giving tho million a
feast of music, which he alone can give.
No strikes or CarlSalm clubs reach him;
his band clings to him and ho to them
like father and children, and no wonder,
for It Is esteemed among musicians, a
greater honor to be .1 member of (ill
inore's band than to bo the leader of an
ordlrary orchestra. It is worth a long
journey to hear that band, and worth
double the price of admission to see
Gilmore lead. Our tourists aro return

The White House Is very dull at pres
ent. The workmen are engaged on the
Interior of the House, but they make no
noise, and cannot be seen from tho front
of the house. The executive clerks are
taking a good rest, nnd they deserve It,
as they wero worked hard during the
session. Some people, visitors lu the
city, no doubt, occasion the doorkeepers
some trouble nt times by demanding an
explanation of their refusal to admit
visitors to tho building. They use all
their pcrsuavcticss to just gt,t one peep
at the rooms. The inexorablo door
keeper cannot be moved, and' the visitor
walks away grumbling over what he
styles the c.xcluslvencss of this adminis
tration. Tho employes of the government
printing office are completely worked
up over the statement that a change is
soon to bo effected. Of course tho only
question that dlstuibs them is whether
they will retain their places or not un
der a new public prlnc-. Mr. Hounds,
they claim, docs not treat them with
due consideration. Ho positively denies
that ho has tendered his resignation,
and the employes think he should tell
them tho actual status of affairs, so that
tbey can make arrangements for re
maining In the ofllce or obtaining other
employment. It is now the geiferal Im
pression among the ptlntlng ofllce peo
ple that Mr. Hounds will be superseded
on tho first of October, and many an
anxious heart awaits the change, some
hopefully and others despondently. It
Is charged by those who aro lu position
to observe Mr. Hound's actions, that he
is making a strenuous fight to hold Ids
place, and Is decidedly nverso to elvlng
up tills very fat office. He will, how
ever, be removed dining the fall, and a
Democrat, perhaps Cliil Service Com
missioner Oberly, appointed in his
place.
Prof. George Vasey, botanist of the

numerous Inquiries for Information

Tho printing of the new len dollar

ing executed on tho new distinctive

About 5,000 Impressions were taken to

notes,?200,000 wot th ot silver certificates
have passed through the first process on
their way to tho public. About thirty
days will be required to finish them and
havo them ready for circulation, but It
Is understood that thev will not be Is
sued before tho middle of November,
when the ones and twos are expected to
bo prepared for Issue. The designs for
the latter denominations aru now being

for the leu dollar plato was commenced
some tlmo before Congress authorized
the printing of the new Issue of ccrtifi.
catcs, as it was deemed advlsablo to rc-
placo the old design with tho Hendricks
note. This explains why tho largest
denomination is so much further ad
vanccd than the designs for the smaller
notes. As soon as the plates for the
latter are prepared the full complement
of employes nt the bureau will bo put to
work to expedite their circulation.
The President, most of the Cabinet,
and many of the lower grade of officers
are away on the accustomed vacation.
It is very convenient to lake a leave
of absence for four or six weeks, and
have a good fat salary go with vou to
pay for railroad fare and settlo up
promptly hotel bills. Very few people
would object to this If they were lucky
enough to bo tho recipients of the Gov
ernment bounty. The fellows that com
plain are generally those whoso salary
ceases when the work stops. Twenty
five thousand dollars a day would be a
low estimate to cover the salaries of
thoso who are now off having a glorious
time at the seashore, the springs, tho
mountains, splurging about the hotels,
and passing as great men in the small
bucolic towns. A gratuity of from one
hundred to four thousand dollars a
mouth each Is nothing for Uncle Sam
when his favored boys want to tako a
little bout, but four dollars a mouth to
some poor, struggling, unfortunate one
who contracted disease In the defense of
his country's honor, that will follow
him to an early grave, and renders the
few years he tarries here almost burden
some, Is a fearful raid upon the Treas
ury and must be stamped out by Execu
tive veto. "There is something rotten
In Denmark." These tilings don't jibe
well. "Saving at tho splgsot and wast
ing at the bung hole" Is an old aphorism
of the Greeks that hits the conditions of
this day completely. Six hours a day
of easy work at a bouncing good salary,
and sure pay every month In crisp green
backs, Is not bad, without dumping in
several weeks of Idleness and indolenco
at tho same good rato of pay. There
aro more things that want reforming In
the civil service than syntax, ctjhiology
and orthography. Forty-five millions
of dollars appropriated this year In ex
cess of any previous year Is a blow square
In the face of economy so much harped
about. The tens of thousands who are
now laboring fourteen hours a day In
the hot harvest field for a dollar and u
half, ought to think of these things a
little before they whoop It up too strong
for party at the coming fall elections.
There Is too much contrast In the con
dition of the classes here mentioned for
a "people's government," and unless a
halt is called and remedies applied the
discaso will develop Into more trouble
some days by nnd-by. Every depart
ment of Government here is from six
months to two years behind hand In Its
work, nnd that Is why you are watlng
for your pension, your' correction of
muster, your patent, your land title,
your cash for supplies furnished, andall
that sort of thing. There are too few
hours of pretended labor, and too many
weeks of needless vacation to spin the
wheels of business very lively.
Secretary of State ISayard.ts arching
his spinal column to quite an a1titudc,and
spitting vengeance upon those whom he
claims are sticking their fingers Into tno
diplomatic pie. Ho says theroaro many
prominent men who are Interfering with
the Government In Its dispute with
Mexico, and have become liable to crim
inal prosecution, and a fine of 5,000 and
Imprisonment for six months. We hope
the Secretary is not bluffing, and if there
are any guilty of the gravo charges, no
matter who or wiiere, that they will be
brought to speedy punishment.
Of course the candidates all over the
country are now putting In their finest
work. "A good politician to keep his
position must be a magician In arts that
are vain, must eat and bo merry with
Tom, Dick and Harry, with Molllo and
Carry, mid Susan .and Jam1. Must
fondle and pamper there children that
scamper, love their gramma and grampa
and cousins and aunts, lovo old aunt
Maria and uncle Heniali anil good aunt
Kczluh, who made Tommy's pants,"
and do any quantity of things that
would seem rather humiliating to any
one else but a politician, The pulling
and hauling of the candidates puts one In
mind of the old darkey who said he was
willing to havo the itch for the fun of
scratching. ji

THE ANARCHISTS.
The guilty Chicngoanarchlsts aro to bo
hanged. They entered into 11 conspiracy
to kill, nnd they find that tho law holds;
that this Is murder If killing Is tlio eon
sequence of the conspiracy. There is
something pathetic In tlio suddenness of
tho discovery by thee plotters against
law and order that their crime Is punlsli
abloon tho gallows. They evidently did
not know the terrible character of their
ofiensc. They met together and con
cocted schemes for tho destruction of so
ciety, and thoso schemes Involved the
murder of men. Perhaps they even im
agined their plotting would never come
to anything, nnd it Is likely enough that
Fomo among the leaders some who were
sentenced to bo hanged were uncon
scious of the danger that their incendiary
words, meant to bo mere words, might
fall upon tinder minds and a coull.igra
tion hurst forth. Many anarchists aro
lazy money gettcrii, who live and thrive
by kindling passions the force of which
they do not begin to appreciate.
However that may be, tiicso Chicago
anarchists are to hang, unless some twist
in tho channel of the law shall lead them
to liberty instead of the gallows. Tho
court, on appc-il, may find some error in
the trial that has just closed which will
defeat justice; but nt present the criminals
are doomed. Their counsel called their
agitation warfare, lint society docs not
recognize as the acts of men sneaking
about in the dark with bombs concealed
under their cloaks, pretending all the
time to be law-abiding citizens, carrying
no flag, making no proclamation of hos
tility beyond tlio growl at the existing
order to which all humans of the mascu
lino variety are entitled. Tho law says,
ami says justly, that killing of the sort
which was done in Chicago is assassina
tion, and that they who practice it and
connive at it must hang.
The terrible sentence which has been
pronounced in Chicago is n cry of halt to
anarchism in this country. Men who do
not like the present constitution of society
may meet and resolve against it.nniv'cven
vote against it, and attempt to change
it by impressing their, views upon the
government; biit they must not kill. Ideas
and opinions arenot tube advocated vvitl
dynamitoiiitheUuited fjtales. Dynamite
is a different creed in countries where
rulers must be convinced by threats of
murder; but in tliis country every man
has his opportunity to convert the people
to Ins way of tliiuking.and he mut stand
nn an cipial footing with liisfcllows, win
ning, if ho docs win, by argument nnd
reasoning. He imirtnot take an advunt-
ne which is not granted to his neighbor.
He must not seek to better law s bv break
ing down all law, nnd by killing the
gu inlians appointed to preserve property
and to prntcjt human liberty and life.
It may be asudden revelation to tiiean-
archisl that they are In danger of being
huiled Into prison or hanged on the gal
lows by practicing their teachings, hut it
is wholesome that tho revelation should
be made, and that the les-on should be
taught. Peaceful methods aro at the
command of all men in this land, nnd
crime nnd violence cannot redress wrongs.
If tho worklngmen have a j.ist causa of
complaint against the lawn or against
their employers, they can find redress
peaceable, for public opinion will always
be with them when they are right.
This is a democratic country, and the
nvcrage opinion must govern, not the
select opinion of the few who fancy they
urc 011 the bottom. The anarchist. are 1 s
despotic in attempting to force their view e
upon the country through murder as any
crowned tyrant who ever snattlicd his
scepter from the loosening grasp of a
slaughtered democracy and waded to his
throne through a sea of blood. Both tlio
many-headed and the individual tyrants
laid violent hands'on the sacred majesty
of law, nnd in this instance thb law has
resented the insolence with fatal power.

Ilono I'ilosnliate.S. It shall be our 111111 In mithtiir mil mir iitmlw flits l.'nll Inmnm-il itf thfli-
tisital high suiudurd, aiid 111 such a lino mechanical conJItion as to do us credit and pleaso
our customers.
The Ingredients of Fertilizers, recognized as giving them their chief value, are Nitrogen or
Ammonia, niosplioilc Acid and Potash, and these are what the farmer must supply tho soli
vvllh in th" most available forui. to secure good crona and iM-ifi-.-t li uit. Ily observations
and exiierhneiits, from year to yftar. we lcaui to knuw what tlio plains most require to pro
diicolhe best 1 esults tit Iho very lowest possible cost to the farmer. The base of our l'hos
phates are animal bonus mixed with puie chemicals only, which aic nil readily available as
plant-food and greatly liuiuoved fioni lastyear. They aro a great restorer and enrlcher of
cAoaiiMvu sun, uyr un-ir use you vv 111 increase your crops nun miiKe running Kiy.
Farmers should never depend on smell to deleiinlne the quality of Fertilizers tho onallty
depends 011 the elements they contain and not In smell, manv of the most valuable Feitlf
l7crs being Inodorous. We can at nn expense of -jft ccntscr Ion produce a stench that Is
unheal abltf, and yet will not add that much to the Improvement of th article.
We guarantee our Phosphates to bo free from useless maleiml, such as dirt, sand, murk,
ashes, oyster shells, gioiind lline-stone, or iiuyadiilleiatloii of anv Mud to cheapen the price,
hut are true llouo Phosphate of high grade, all hi line dry condition, containing but verv
littlo moisture, which is an imisiitaut consideration In buying phosphate. A fertilizer such
as our Pure Bono SuiK-r-l'liosphate, which wo mnko iuoiiT.lt UM diuriiiT, will novo a good
tuvestnientimauy soil. If cultivated uiiiitr. Our goods nro mado under our own superv s

OUR JUMBO PHOSPHATE
Is a very uetle and ijulck feitlhzer, containing all'the elements of plant-food, and has given
wondeifully good clops. We recoiiuiiend It as a Fertilizer not to be beaten for quality and
price. S35.U0. Try It. '
OUr HERO PHOSPHATE
Is of a hwhergradn nnd more lasting effects. This brand we la-lleve will come as near being
a lierumneiit Improver of l.nuU as any fertilizer made, and has stood the lent alongsldo ot
inuch higher priced feitllliers. Try It. Price $jn.ou.
Our Victor Standard Improved, Price $35.00,
Is of h still higher grade, and has no equal for the money. It Is a great emu producer and
