Iyongstreet is being criticised jn the South for his recent Jrant speech sit Jlston, and particularly for his allu sion to the Old Commander as the man "who broke the chains of slavery." Jiat the ppecch was a g-d one, never theless, and strictly iu line with histor ical fat-tn. Thk Michigan Itepublican State con ventiou was held iu Detroit on Thurs day last.

Senator Ji:ay, iu his capacity as Chairman of the i:publicau State Com tuittec, has appointed the l'.xecutive Committee and the inenibers-at-largc of the State Committee.

The greatest corn crop in the history of the country, says the Pittsburg J W. is followed by the thpest pork and laeon on record. The price of pork for July delivery is rowrly H ier barrel lower than it was a year ago, and $14 a barrel Ik-Iow the highest r.rii-e for July V"rk in It3. Kven the low prices of Is.cJdo not compare with the present j uotaionft. Cheap meat al way follow a big corn crop, but the present pricw ire abnormally low, and hogs can not Vie turned into jxtrk and lard pnifttably t this time. A k-:NT writer on the subject of proper sauitaticfn of homes and work shops pays that nothing would pay a larger dividend. "If the mass of the people," runs the argument, "must live in a way which interferes with physical fitrength and sotinducs, the productiv ity and mrnmercial value of labor are lessened." The health of a nation is iu wealth." These are the words of wis- j, , , ...... dom riointing to a higher civilization ... . " muaumu, out they are not very strongly impress- e l, as yet, on the average mind. Is the Methodist Episcopal General Conference, in Cleveland, pome time ago, the committee on the eligibility of women to nerve aa delegates reported a compromise, width was adopted by an almost unanimous vote. The women elected reUin their seats on the under standing that it shall not eetaMbh a precedent, and an amendment to tne cnstitution, speeifieally authorizing the election of women a delegates, is to lie again puhmitted to the annual eonfeivnees. The general conference adopted the amendment, the aflirnia tive vot being 425 out of a total of 523. Hkbk is the resolution endorsing McKtnley passed ly the Indiana Ile publieau convention: JJelieving as we do, in a protective tariff, the leading isue before the people, we favor the nomination as president of the I'nited State of the man who jerfectly repre wnts a protective tariff and the cardi nal principles of the Republican party; a man who has devoted his life to the defense of his country in war and in peace; one who, at seventeen, fought with Hayes and Crook and Sheridan at Antietam and in the Shenandoah in defend of our flag against foes within, and for fourteen years in congress con tended against our country's foes from without, beating back British free trade and aggression which finally, under the present Democratic administration, ob tained possession of our markets, and has almost destroyed our industries; a man who, with the resistless shibboleth "Protection and Prosperity," has chal lenged the attention of the commercial world, and won the support of every jwttriotie workinjnian of our couutry; whose life and work, open as a book, are iu themselves a platform, and whose very name w magic that loyal Ameri can citizen, soldier, statesman and Christian gentleman, William McKin ley, of Ohio, and the dek-gaU to the InublU-au National Convention se lected bv thU body are directed to cast their votes for William McKiuley as frequently and r-ontinuously a there is any hope of his nomination. Wbat Experiment Shoved. From tlie HarrtstMire Teli-jfrapU. Praetii-al experiinentK at the Penusyl vania Atrritnltural Kxoeriiiiental Sta tions have clearly proven that the old plan of harv'ting the corn crop Is a very wasteful one, and one which must be undoned if our farmers expect to be able to produce milk and Uitter iu com petition with their present surroundings. It has been elearly shown that the cut ting, husking, shelling and grinding tho corn involves too much labor and iow too much for tirofitable feeJinir. The ex tra handling of itself is enough to con demn the process with every pnt.'tiia! and observant dairs'inan, but when to this loss we add that of the miller's toll for grindirg, tbe loss is mich that, in the face of the present close competition, no uianufacturer of milk or butter can stand it, and if he persists in it, he must sooner or later lie shoved aside, and out of the market by hm more progressive competitor. After the walk and ear have reached a certain point in their growth all their feeding value Is alove the ground, any sulisequent growth is merely the transfe'r of fixxl value iroin ihe stalk to the grain. This involves time, extra lalior, and it is of no real ben efit to the producer. Atter the stalk and ear have refilled the condition in which all their possible ooJ value is aliove the grounil, the sooner tlic-y turned into a convenient feed shajie the ! wili he the loss to the producer, and the creator tij milk and Uitter producing value of a given amount of iiie crop. In no way can a roater ter cent, of the feeding value of the wop lie retained than in the Crm of ensilage, and ii is iiu jxissible to plaoe il iu any more conve nient form of feeding. The only draw back that can psibly I urged against the silo and ensilage is that it rop.iires additional labor at a time when other farm operations are proving, but as k will very well pay, it will he Ctuad pro fitable to employ the extra help nicewa ry. We can conceive of no other plau which will enable the producer to se cure a larger proportion of the fe'tual feeding value of tbe corn crop than l.y the silo, as ty this plan prartically noth ing is lost, wucrtttu by the old plan of cutting, husking and grinding, at least tw enty-five per cent, of the feeding value of the crop is entirely lost. Kxperiments at our experimental wa tioun have clearly shown that ensilage enables the producer to handle the croo when in its bent feeding condition and to give lirs animals a change at a time when they most need it. Iu fact it enables him to give them nearly all the benefits of pasture during the whole of the year and to ob'ain a product, whether milk or but ter, which is nearly as good as that pro duced at the most favorable season of the year. Deathbed Sepectance. Prexidiit Cleveland has issued an or der placing the chief clerks and nearly all the high grade rictiariiiif.nt officials under the civil service" iul. This is the most sweeping of all extensions of th rules yet made, as it w ill include in it provisions .to.oiiu or more . onVials and prevent their removal except for cause. If Mr. Clevcuiiiit had taken this step two or three years h;-o he would have l an pfticrcns'y i iiulI by every friend of civil service reform. There were then some jir.isjwts that the l)-t crate; pr:y milil rein am in power for a term f years, and it would have been creditable tn the wgacity if Mr. Cleve land had he eneoo raged the reform senti ment of the country by talking the step he h:is now mnde. He did uothhig of the kind however. Instead, he favored, if he did not nrjre, the sweeping change iu the offices w hich lias takeu place during the past three years. From oue end of the country to the other the cry among the I'eiDoerat 1ih been: "the spoils to the victors," aud Mr. Cleveland has willing ly tried to satisfy the demand. Logan Carlisle" sp in the Treasury is an illustration of what torn occurred in the departments at Washington. Josiah Quincy wholesale overturning of voo- sulships i evidence of what has been done abroad. And tbe boast of the Dem ocratic St. Louis "Republic" that hardly a Republican office-holder remains in the whole Southw est is an example of what has happened in the w hole country. Having done this and filled his party's lielly w ith the spoils of office and know ing tiiat the Democracy is going out of jKwer and that his own political career is nearly ended, Mr. Cleveland proposes to try and trick the country by a little deatbtied repentance. He has passed the period alien be can deceive any body. t'ltilmlrlphia Vrt&x. The Biggest Fool at Large Is the individual who persistently nfg. lects his health, and the means of preserv ing aud restoring it. Many persons w ho are not constitutional idiots do this. They are genuine objects of compassion as well as censure, A failure of appetite, loss of deep and llesli, impaired digestion, an uncertain state of the liow els and symp toms of biliousness are ao many warn ings of the approach of disease. To dis regard them is abject folly, w hich offend ed nature in due time punishes severely, if not fatally.

" f t A tiring Death. Komk, X. Y May a-At 1:30 o'clock this morning the jury iu the case of John WaUou Hildreth, one of the boys w ho wrecked a Xew York Central exprens train which caused the death of the engi neer, returned a verdict of murder in the second degree. In reaching this conclu sion four ballots were taken. Tho court took a recess until 9 o'clock to-day, when Judge McLennan sentenced Hildreth to Auburn prison for life. Iu passing sen tence the Judge said he thought the jury had dealt very leniently by Hildreth; thev uiight have convicted hiiu of the highest crime known to the law. He aaid Hildreth's crime a a terrible one under civilization, almost a bad as poisouing streams that came from the hillsides. Hildreth stood up and received his sen tence w ithout flinching, but after he sat dow n ty the side of his father his eyes filled with tears and his lips trembled perceptibly. As soon as Hildreth had been sentenced he was Uken back to jail and Theodore Hibbard aud Herbert Plato, the other in dicted train wreckers, were brought iuto court. They withdrew their former pleas of not guilty to murder in the first degree and pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree. Judge McLeunan then sentenced the prisoners to forty years each. The prisoners were very pale aud seemed much downcast butshed no tears. Met His Wife of 20 Teart Age. Fowler, Iud., May 8.

HolineK, was hanged in the County Pris on in Philadelphia Thursday for the murder of Benjamin P. Pitezel. On tho scaffold he declared he had not killed PiteJtel nor any of the Pitcnel children, and that the extent of his w rong-doing in the taking of human life was the killing of two wemen whose deaths resulted from criminal operations. Holmes died as he had lived. The same cool, deliberate, calculating man ner that characterized him during his trial never left him for an instant. His nerve was marvelous. Prompt Train Service, During the mouth of April the passen ger train movement on all Divisions of the R. A O. system was remarkable for punctuality. The through express trains arrived at their respective destinations on schedule time ninety-five per cent, of the time. This is a performance rarely equalled by roads operating as many trains as are run on tbe B. d O., and speaks well for the efficiency of the rank aud file, as well as the officials of the "peraiing Department.

As a result of the Chinese-Japanese war the slave trade in Manchuria has boea increased. The selling of children prevails in China, but the war and con sequent famine are driving many more parent to sell their children than form erly. Buyers collect the poor little fel lows just as keepers of registry offices collect coolies. A merchaut saw in Man churia a woman leading six children, from 5 to 12 years of age, barefxted and almost naked. The price of a child, if in telligent and attractive is 10 yen ?1.00 the ngly ones bring only a few cents. The slave broker gives guarantee to the purchaser that the child's parents will never again claim or acknowledge the uhild sold.

Civil Service Extension, The President has issued an order ex tending the civil service law over about ao.ttuO ollii-es that have heretofore been exempt from it- The number of pla-es iu the classified service U thus increased to upward to S5,0if. This addil ion to it is by far the largest that has yet liecn made. It reduces the number of offices that can lie filled without competive ex amination to a mere handful, leaving less than a thousand to le filled otherwise. Kxactly w hat positions are exempt from it can hardly be told at this time, but they include common laborers and those w ho are nominated by" the President aud confirmed by the Senate.

The silvery white star which may now le seen low in the west for an hour or so after sunset is tbe planet Mercury. Mer cury has been an "evening atar" since the 17th of last month, and for a week or ten days past has been far enough from the sun to have been visible after sunset had weather permitted. It will continue to be visible nntil near the close of the month. Those interested in such matters have, therefore, now an fxedhnt cr por ta nity to get a good look at this smallest of the planets, w hich in spite of the fre quency of its appearance above the horiz on, eastern ot wesern, is probably the least often seen of any by the "naked-eye" planets.
