tho froe-eoinage theorists to por
suado people that a metal whioh
fluctuates in this manner can be a
safe standard of valno.
The Democratic loaders are sori
ously considering the adoption of
the "government- by injunction"
cry as the ohiof feature of their
campaigns of 1898 and 1900, in viow
of the fact that the froe-ooiuage pro
position is being rejected by the
people.
Last year William McKinley said
that in his judgment it was better to
open the mills of tho United States
to home labor than to open the mints
, of this country to tho silver of the
world. There are many others who
didn't think so then but who have
sinoe reached the same conclusion .
Mr. Bryan is about to dolivor a
series of speeches on the silver ques
tion in Kentucky. It is suspected
that he will select places where the
south wind . will carry his voice
aorosa tho river into Ohio, ninoe
this seems to bo his only way of
taking part in the campaign in that
State.

Hsu ounce of silver was equal to

Tiiic shooting of colored office
holders litis been suspended in the
South until after the Ohio election,
because it might interfere with the
party in attempting to capture col
ored votes in that Stato at the ap
proaching election. But there was
no need of that. The colored won
of Ohio are not likely to vote for a
party led by John R. McLean.
Colorado will add $20,000,000 to
the gold of the country this year
from her own mines, Tho total
gold production of the world in 1897
will, it is now believed, aggregate
250,000,000, a sum vastly greater
than is needed to keep paoe with the
growth of population and business
of the world. Is it Mark Hanna or
tho Gold Powers of Europo that is
responsible tor this ?
The latest reports of industrial ac

Tho Philadelphia Press has thor

A FAIR ASSESSMENT.
At the convention of Commis
sioneis held at Gettysburg last
week tho principal subjects of dis
cussion were tho methods of mak
ing assessments and tho alien tax
law.
It was discovered by conversation
with otlieers from dilierent counties
that the ossoMsinent- in Pike-is about
Die worst in the State. This should
bo iL hint to the proper persons to
have some readjustment or equaliza
tion made so that taxation may be
more fairly distributed. Whatever
is right should bo done, and that
question Bhould reoeivo due and
careful consideration. Wo have not
beon urging this to injuro any man
or class or to impose any heavier
burdons of taxes, but solely in the
interest of all clasos, that each per
son may bear his proper proportion.
This matter should be thoughfully
investigated on the broad basis of
all sections of tho county, ana
whon so done It will be discovered
where tho present valuations are too
high or too low as compared with
others.
Th Age of Dear.
Romance has played a prominent
part with regard to tho longevity of
doer, says "Chambers' Journal."
What saya the Highland adage?
Thi-ioe the one of n do is that of a honot
Thrioti the uu of a hortte is ttmt of a man,
Thriou the &ko uf a niau is that of a door,
Thrioe the no of a doer is that of an eiitflo,
Thrice the nge at uu c-ugle is that uf au u.ik
tree.
This is to assign to the deer a
period of more than 200 years ; and
the estimate is supportod by many
highly circumstantial stories. Thus
Captain McDonald, of Tullooh, who
died iu 1776, aged 86 years, is said to
hive known tho white hind of Loch
Treig for fifty years, his father for
a like period before him, and bis
grandfather for sixty years before
that. So, in lt2u, McDonald, of
ii longarry, is reported to have killed
a deer which bore a mark on the car
identical with that made on all the
calves ho could etitoh by Ewsii
Maelrtu-Og, who hud been dead for
liOyoars. Analogous stories, it'may
bo noted, aro told in country on the
continent of Kurope, whore doer are
to bo found in any number, liut
alas ! tho general opinion among ex
ports would seem that thirty years
or thereabout is the limit of a doer s
hie.

Havana, Oct. 11. Senorlta Evangellna
Cosslo y Cieneros, a young Cuban worn
an who had for some time been im
prisoned In the Casa de Itecogldas, has
escaped and Is believed to be now on
her way to the United States., .
All the Indications are that the girl
escaped with the help of two young
men who for two months have watched
for the opportunity to get her out.
Bhe went through a window, one of
the bars of which had been filed
through, across a ladder to the roof of
the house where these two men had a
room.
The Spanish authorities are frantlcal

these two young men, but, though they
were In Havana for at least two months,
It cannot be ascertained even If they
were Cubans or Americans.

On Wednesday night Evangellna
offered her cellmates some candy that
hod been sent In to her some days be

They noticed nothing peculiar about
the candy, but they slept like the dead

ARB YOU KTAKV1JM Y'VR ITKNS ?
My neighbors complain that they
do not "tj many eggs, nnd seem
somewhat- puzzled to know tho
cause, A little observation ana in
quiry reveal the reason. Their lions
ore all right, hut one is feeding
thorn almost wholly on corn, tie
also deprives them of limo iu any
form. This is one form of starva
tion. Another keeps his lions
yarded, and they aro largely de
prived of green food, and entirely of
limo in any form. Thoy eat their
eggs eagerly to supply thoir craving
appetites.
When the wheat stubble was
raked and dra wn I gave tho hens
froe access to It, believing that tho
wheat wns just what was neodod at
the boginnig of moulting. So It
proved, for the forty lions, instoad
of diminishing in egg production ns
thoir moulting progressed, mado a
gain of one-half dozen eggs por day,
now laying two dozen daily. Most
farmers havo probably carefully
stored away these gleanings await
ing tho thresher. Tito heus nre the
host threshors, nnd ask nothing for
the work. Much of tho wheat is
grown this year, and to deprivo tho
hens of a supply is sheer nonsense.
Whon I drew the gleanings and said
they wore for thu hony, a neighbor
remarked that thoro were two' bu
shels of wheat in them. I said per
haps so, but tho heus need thorn,
and if thoro were as much wheat ns
he sad the hens havo paid ten
shillings per bnshol fur it. There is
an abundance of grown wheat, and
we cannot do better than to turn a
portion of it into eggs, f-javo a lot
of Fhcuves for next winter, and sea
how the hens will thresh out the
wheat nnd roll out the eggs. 0. M.

According to tho government re
port tho Ions of live stock from win
tor e.xno.siire is tweuty-fuur limon as
great in I.ouisianft,ns in Iowa, Min
nesota and Wisconsin. This is ac
counted for hy the fact that no pre
paration is mado to shelter stock in
the mild Southern climate, because
it is not expected that it will be
neodod ; while tho JNorthorn
farmer expects and prepares for
a severe winter. Doubtless this ex
planation is correct. "Forewarned
forearmed ' is a principle of very
broad ftin.uien-r.ion. It helps us to
cope with dvllicnlties which could
not havo been overcome otherwise
Whon we know in ad vance of the
need of anythiii'-r we tako every pre
caution to provide it. "lie result- is
that wo usually suiter much lo.-s in
convenience than we feared at first.
Tho past four or live years have
furnished many examples of this.
People learned to prepare for hard
times by economizing in every pos
sible way, and as a ree.ult Buffered
less the last year or two than they
did the first part of tho period of
of business depresssiou. The work
ins? of tho same principle is shown
in our markets. A scarcity of any
thing will be partially overcome by
economy in saving or using it, or by
a substitution of something else, if
the people aro forewarned. This
will doubtless have some influenco
on tho coming year's wheat market.
Flour being dear people will plan to
save it by using more corn bread,
etc., or millers may use corn as an
adulterant as they did last year and
thus increase tho supply. With
mouths of forewarniug the world is
planning to avoid dear breiul, and
will doubtless succeed to some ex
tent in modifying tho scarcity of
wheat. Stockman and Farmer.
T11K POTATO CHOP,
All indications points to a high
price for potatoes. As will be seen
by our market report, Long Island
potatoes aro selling in tho New York
market at throe dollars por barrel
and the best state jiotntoos at ulxjut
25o. per barrel less. Tho crop is a
very short- one and is being further
diminished by rot. Tho farmer who
planted theiu as largely as usual
this season is fortunate even if
half the crop rots, thoy will still be
profitable if tho price goes any
higher whioh is not improbable.
