Repuulicans who now oppose the civil
service so bitterly would bo just na
et'ongly in favor of tho law were the
offices in their possession. Why dn tho
heathen raep?
During tho first four months of tho
Wilson law the custom receipts amounted
to nearly 50,000,000. During tho first
four months of tho Dingley law the re
ceipts were not quite $35,000,000. The
Wilson bill was all right.
Wherever plenty of 'water is there
electric light, heat and power can bo
generated, whether there bo any great
quantity of coal or other fuel or not. A
waterfall will turn machinery any
whero, and tho ma'chinory will run a dy
namo. This uso of water power is now
extensively mado in Central and South
America and Moxico, likowiso in somo
of our southern states. In Alaska and
on the land routo to tho goldflolds tho
rapids of tho great Yukon and its trib
utaries might spoedily bo utilized to
run electric cars and supply power and
light ns well as boat It is much to
know that wherover water flow is there
man has tho means of lighting and
warming himsolf and running cars,
mills and factories.
Organization is tho order of tho day.
It is tho sign of tho times. Those whoso
interests lio along tho samo path are
uniting everywhere. Thoy consult' to
gether; thoy form clubs; they hold con
ventions, at which measures aro taken
to strengthen tho bond of union and to
forward tho iutcrosts of all tho members
as of ono man. Tho solidarity of tho
raco is showing itself. Tho original
truth that all mankind aro brethren and
that tho good of ono and tho good of all
is identical shines sun clear as tho nine
teenth century vanishes aiuj the twenti
eth stops upon tho sceno with its glad
young face and elastic step. Surely this
universal tendency to organization
among men and women is tho foreshad
owing of better things to corao, tho
portent of that timo when all mankind,
rich nnd poor, will bo organized into
one great union, tho interests of whoso
members will bo tho samo.

New Use For Peanuts.
A now uso for peanuts is developing as
the peanut butter indu&try becomes Oet-tt-r
understood. The product of the pea
nut answers in tho place of ordinary but
ter for tho table use, and is said to bo ex-
cdllent lor shortening purposes, and for
rravies, sauces, &c. In point of purity it
it well designed for tho uso of vegota
rlans who strenuously object to anything
animal. There is already a considerable
demand for this butter substitute, and it
is very probable there will bo an enlarged
market for the nuts. At present tho
Sioduc of the United States is about 500,
30 bags annually, and that of tho world
is 000,000,000 pounds.
A rat trap operated by olectrioity is

COMPARISON
Of New Tobacco Grown by
Holbrook,

Of Scott County, Gives Some Valuable In
formationLouisville and Cin
cinnati Prices.
Western Tobacco Journal.
The following is a comparison sale of
new tobacco, grown for John II. Carson,
by II. Holbrook, of Georgetown, Scott
County, Ky. This crop, consisting of 17
hhds., was divided between tho Bodtnann
House, of Cincinnati, and Rice & Turner,
of Louisville.
Eight hhds., consisting of two hhds.
bright leaf, one hhd. long red, ono hhd.
short red, one hhd. lugs, two hhds. trash
and ono hhd. spodge, were shipped to
Louisville and sold December 8. Nine
hhds., consisting of two hhds. bright
leaf, one hhd. long red, one hhd. tips,
two hhds. lugs, one hhd. trash and two
hhds. spodge, were shipped to Cincinnati
and sold December 0th.
Tho average price realized in Louisville
was $10.70, while that in Cincinnati,
with ono hbd. raoro of spodge than was
shipped to Louisville and one tip hhd.
instead of short red, was $12.01. The
following is a comparison of the prices
on tho individual hogsheads :

Bright leaf $16 73 and 10 75
ColoryliiRS 11 75 and 13 75

The comparison should satisfy the
shippers of tobacco that Cincinnati is
very much "in it," and that Cincinnati
is tho market for new tobacco, with fa
cilities superior to any other market.
Farmers contemplating the early mar
keting of their tobacco should be con
vinced by the above true comparison and
not be missed by shipping to any other
market.
The Bodmann, established in 1852, has
bo3n time-tried and fire-tested, and no
where can a farmer obtain better security
than at this houso. L. T. Anderson, Jr.,
solicitor of this house, can be seen weekly
at Central Hotel, Maysville, Ky. He
has represented tho "old reliable" for tho
past fifteen years in the Mason County
district and refers to any reputable
farmer of the county as to his competency
in representing tobacco entrusted to his
care.
All pooplo enjoy being humbugged,
npparcutly tho hard headed, practical
farmer hotter than anybody else. Ho
likes to hear of extraordinary now vego
tablo growths that will make him a for
tuno in a year or two without any moro
culturo than planting tho seed. Ho
might know from his common sense,
howover, that when tho story of somo
now plant or grain reads like a fairy
talo it is a humbug. Such stories orig
inate in two ways. la tho ono caso they
omanato from tho brain of tho space
writer for tho newspaper, a person who
will concoct any lio, howover impossi
ble, for tho sako of getting his $3 or 5
a column. In tho other caso tho fako
story comes from unscrupulous seedsmen
and seed ngenta who want to trap tho
agriculturist into buying their stuff.
Littlo thoy caro whother tho thing
grows at all or if it does grow whether
it may not be a noxious weed that will
bo a pest to tho universe. It is a pity
that among so many honest and worthy
seedsmen thcro aro somo of that kind.
Ono of tho fako stories that went tho
rounds was about tho fortunes to bo
mado in chill poppers. Another told of
the extraordinary virtues of a Russian
weed called by somo saghalieu. Thou
thoro is tho Idaho pea, no doubt ox-
tremoly useful in its way, but it will
not grow everywhere, and it will not
do all that is claimed for it.
Timo after timo the farmer has been
trapped with machines, with chemical
preparations ond with plants only to
find when his money has been spent
that if ono wishes to bo successful thoro
is nothing like pegging away at tho
work immediately uudor your nose, at
tho samo timo watching every oppor
tunity of bettoring yourself that comos
your way. .

HANDKERCHIEFS are such a popular Christ7
mas Gift, we know a tempting offering of them
now will be most welcome, we have secured a
sample line of one hundred dozen, entirely up to
our standard, but no maker sets much value on
samples after they have served their purpose. He
cannot sell them in the regular way, because there
are too few of any one sort. This line represents
a great variety. Every individual preference
seems to have been considered for hemstitching,
embroidery and Lace. They'll go by sixes and
twelves, so hurry. Twenty-five cent Handker
chiefs for JOc. are not an every day chance.
