"Gladstone*?* Kitchen Kcr.nomy^ f ,
It is ii striking fact that agricultural 1
:iethod>. and imrenuUv ilisplaved in '
- - >
it. have not kept pace with otner occupations.
The manufacturers have
shown much more skill, and even the
inventions which lind a practical application
on the farm are. in the main,
the result of the ingenuity of men in j
other avocations. Now why is this?
It is certainly not from a. want of j
brains. It seems from the history of j
the world that an agricultural country
never diversifies, and reluctantly turns
from a well beaten track, while maiiu
facturers work incessantly to bring
the abundance of the land into their
own pockets.
It is related of Mr. Gladstone, the
great English statesman, that, when
speaking to the Scotch farmers while
they were greatly deprc-sed, he suggested
they wouhi go into the industry
of making jam for the city markets.
- r.. i..,.4.... tucitrinfu-nrit. and
i. lie JIlUllMl* JWiuvvi ,
was ridiculed by the Tory editors,
| speaking; of it contemptuously as
I "Gladstone"? kitchen economy." Those
j farmers, however, took to it, and they
i huve a large and productive industry.
} Just that sort of thing is what we
need in Fairfield. Try some kind of
j "kitchen economy."
| Ti?e Fifty-Second Congress Democratic.
Democratic principles are sweeping
through the United States like a cyclone.
The victory for the Democracy
j on last Tuesday was mure man tne
j Democrats looked for. Even the rank
I unscrupulous sheet. the Mail and ExJ
/ires*, concedes a Democratic majority
j of at least lifty in the 02nd Congress.
1 With v.;ry few exceptions the gains
i are Democratic and the losses are

IUU1 ^ J i J .
office and function of public opinion?!
As Mr. Lilly says ;i is evident lhat ;
Carl) lu -aw no good in public opinion i
and m:va.?tical!y denounces it as bos-i
tile U individuality and John Stewart
Mil! puis it down that it is hosti?.' lo \
individual liberty, and it often places I
mediocrity above superiority. This j
is true, for no man ever becomes great'
unless he asserts his individuality, j
ar.d it is mo.-t frequently the case that j
the more individual ne is mc uiuru i
will he be misunderstood. Such was the
case with Newton ami a host of others
in the scientific and also in the political
world. It is the history of the
world that ?oine of ihc highest truths
?and the masses seldom discover high
truths and principles?are repudiated
by the powerful force of public opinion.
Ilcnce, it is often wondered why
the man who lives truthfully, high
and patriotic docs not succeed. The
reason is that "ccx j/'ipulf partly
through mediocrity bntchicflv through
1 the false teachings of false teachers, is
too often molded in a false mold.
The man who lives altogether for
truth must be a martyr.
However, this is only partly the
truth, and, though it be true that
public opit'ion is oftentimes wron^,
yet it would be erroneous to hold that
the voice of the people is always
wrong, for clearly the man who pitted
himself against all mankind would be
set down as a crank, and justly so. It

J upon experience that weight must be

I policy of governments, especially
j democracies3, the common consent of

! for the reason that, in that case, the
i ethical test of right, "Happiness to
j the greatest number," is brought into
j operation. What then, sii.ee in our

the l'ledges iind Professions of the
Democratic I'iirty to the l'eople Re|
deemed."
Nmv Voi:k, November .r?To an
Associated Press Reporter, who asked
for an expression of his opinion on the
results of yesterday's election, ExPresident
Cleveland to-day said:
I am delighted, I challenge the
right of any man in the country to rejoice
more heartily than I over the
| results of yesterday. My gratification
j is that of an American proud of his
| fellow-countrymen, who, though led
i .m-rtT- /,>> -i thno liv
and Mind confidence in selfish leaders. I
! conld not be deluded to their ruin, j
i They have demonstrated that ;in dealj
iny with them it is not safe to calc^J
| late that they are stupid or hecdl?agof
. the we.fare of their coinj^J*IeTT
j "The necessity ofj&f'iureforin, the
| reduetionJn^Uie cost of living", and the
I dut^thc Democratic party to advoj^atu
it, ha-; been fully demonstrated
i | by the action of the people yesterday.
. | Their decision 1ns been deliberately
. i made and it is all the more significant
I because they have voted on their reason
I and judgment, anil because they have
' j proved that corruption is powerless as
' I against their convictions. Of course,
[ I there is nothing for the Democratic
: i party to do but to push 011 the battle at
1 all times and places on the lines which
! they have laid down; that is, to insist
on the wise adjustment of tarilV tax'
ation to the reasonable needs of the
J Government as opposed to the plan
! i which enriches a favored class at the
' expense of the masses of the people,
I "l"ntil victory is won the question
! of taritl' reform will not be settled,
| nor the pledges and professions of the
j Democratic party to the people rej
deemed. Our party has made an hon
. ! est tiuflit. It has planted itself on dis1
interested and unselfish devotion to the
interest of the people. Its absolute
. unity and harmony on the question of
I j tariff reform shows quick recognition
of true Democratic principles and its
enthusiasm in the cause which involves
the popular welfare. Everywhere our
people have done magnificently and
the harvest they have gathered has
been nobly earned."
' In answer to an inquiry as to his
i view on the operation of the balldt
j I reform law. Mr. Cleveland said:
I "I think there should be no more
. opposition to tho principle of ballot
, reform. The evidence of its usefulness
and benefit to the people I regard
conclusive. In m>iiic matters of
j detail the law in New York might be
! I improved. It seems to me it would be
j well to obviate the necessity for so
( | many separate ballots, but after all.
I | even this or other similar objections
! are nol vitally important.
' The thing on which every honest
! nnm clwnil/l ( mtfj'tvi 111! n 11? liim&ftl'f is
thai we have a law which protects our
. voters from corruption and intimidation,

Tin; DEATH PLANT.
The Fanner* M<ttjuzut'.\ published at
Parkersburg. Pcnn., contains the fol
lowing:
A magnificent kali mujah, or death
plant of Java, lias recently been received
here by Mrs. Madison Black.
The specimen, which is the only living
one that has been brought to this coiui
I try. was scnllMr.?. l>Iack by her brother.
! Jerome Hendricks;, who went out as a
I missionary to tlie Island. The kali
muja is found only in the volcanic
districts of Jara and Sumatra, and
then but rarely. It grows from two
1 j to three and a half feet In height, with
| long. slender stems armed with thorns!
; nearly an inch long, and covered with
i broad, satin-sm?oth leaves of a heart
j shape and of a dclicate emerald on ?>nc{
side, and blood red. streaked with
1! cream, on the other.
The flowers of the death plants are
I large, milk-white ami clip-like, being
' | about the size ami depth of a large cof!
fee cup and having the rimguarded by
'line, briar-like tlionis:. The pccu;
liarity of the plant lies in these flowers.'
| which, beautiful as they are. distill
j continually a deadly perfume so powerful
as to orcreonic, if inhaled any
! length of time, a full grown man. and
: killing ail forms of insect lifeapproachj
ing it. The perfume, though morej
j pungent, is a&sickinglvsweotasohloro*j
j form, which ir. greatly resembles in
cited, producing msensi unity, out
convulsing at the time the muscles of
the face, especially tlio.se about the
mouth ami eyes, drawing the former
up into a grin. An inhalation is fol-j
i lowed by violent headache and a ring-1
} ing in the ears, which gives way to a 1
I temporary deafness, often total while j
it lasts.
| 0:her plants seem to shun the kali:
I mujih, which might be termed the lsh- j
j ma el of the vegatable kingdom, for it j
grows isolated from every other form j
of vegetation, though the sou may be !
j fertile. Ail insects and birds instinc- !
