Unless all precedents fall the Republican party has ended Its career, and will not cut much of a figure In our politics again. With the overthrow and dispersion of the forces of this once powerful political factor now so apparent even to those who vainly strove to preserve the o;ganizatlon, thore naturally arises a comparison of the results of November 6 with those of the last days of battle of the federalist and the whig parties. The Federalist party ended its existence in the campaign of 1816, when its candidates for president and vice-preeldeut, Rufus King, of New York, and .lohn K. Howard, of Mary land, were defeated by Jarnee Monio<?, of Virginia, and Daniel D. Tompkins, of New York. The entire electoral vote of the union at that time was 221, and of these Monroe, Democrat, for president, and Tompkins, Democrat, for vice-president, each received 18:?. while IIufus King received 24, made up of 2 votes from Dele ware, ft from Connecticut and 22 from Massachusetts. One vote from Delaware and three from Maryland were not cast either for president or vice-president at this election. This was the closing battle of the federalists, and they passed away forever when tbev could not bold but three states, casting a total of 2 4 votes. The seventeenth presidential election, that of 1852, witnessed the I downfall and departure from politi-i eal life, df the Whig party, but "taps" were sounded over that organization l when it conl roiled for (leneral Scott 12 electoral votes and carried the states of Massachusetts. with 12 electoral votes: Vermont, 5: Kentucky, 12, and Tennessee, 12, Franklin Fierce, Democrat, received the vof'K of 254 electors, the total of the electoral college that year being 2ftfJ votes. Ceneral Scott received, as ubove, only 4 2 electoral votes to 25 4 'hat Fiece was given, hut on the popular vote Scott had 1.2 80.5 7C. to 1 j ' 01.474 for Pierce. His companrtivoJy large popular vote was not productive of electoral results in the states. The passing of the Republican party with its eight votes out of a total I electoral vote of GUI, made a record of fighting to the last ditch by a political organization, but its manner or disappearing, largely through absorption of its strength by u new organization in opposition to the Democratic party, was in marked contrast with the total disupearanoe of ?h? i ' Moralists in 1820 an ! the s* n.-h' contest between whig in I Deinoc.t atb* parties in 1SG2, says the Cinc'un.'iD Knquirer. The Republican par'y may make a. show of bnUH in the! next presidential election, but unless all the precedents in referenv> to political parties in this coun'rv ''ails, I the Republican party has won its last great victory. The convict ion of the dynamiters was a good thing for the labor uniou?* as well as the country at large. The indictment of those higher up in so trie, other cases wasn't, so had either.

The strike affects some 4,000 shops in New York Brooklyn, Newark and other places. John J. Bealin of the State board of mediation and arbitration conferred with representatives of the clothiers' association and of the Uniteu Men's Garment Workers and will report to the board on the advisability of conducting an investigation of the conditions under which garment makers work. The International Peace forum also resumed its efforts looking to medialion. It presented to both employers and operatives a plan for submitting to them a list ol' governors of ten states, ten educators, ten United States senators and clerymon from whom live or six men shall b* selected to hear arguments and sub mit findings which shall be binding to the manufacturers and their employees. "The strike has assumed seldom proportions," Mr. Itealin sa.id. "ant! there is grave danger that if wil spread to other cities." Some of the etrikc leaders predicted that Rochester, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago. St. Louis Philadelphia and Utica concern? probably would be affected by th? strike.

Clemson College gets out yeafly many valuable bulletins for the farmers, and the following one has bee*, issued by Prof. T. F. Jackson, on "Cattle Feeding in South Carolina.' Prof. Jackson waB one of the nuuie men who spoke here last summer athe Farmer's meeting conducted b.. Clemson experts. He says; ^or the past twq Reasons Clemson College has been sending out a list oi question^ to be answered by the cattle feedors of the State. The purpose 1 for doing so was to obtain results for several years, and to get the average of these results tabulated ru | some definite form and pluced in the i hands of those who expect to feed in i the future. The results of the season 1 HI 0-1 1 j were very unsatisfactory, as low o: j the feeders kept accurate records ot| price of feeder cattle in the lull oi their feeding. On account of the nigh price of feeder cattle in the tall ol j 1911 and the low price of fat rattle1 in the spring of 1911, combined wici the high price of feed during that season, most of those who fed cattl? lost money, yet some made meir manure clear. Taking into account the increased yield of the lands, where this manure was used, ii u cheap 1 fertilizer. In the fall of 1911, feeder cattle t were practically the same price as in 1910, but feed stuffs were some lower in price, a?d fat cattle sold lor better prices in the spring of I'M.', so most of the feeders who fed caiefuli\ made some money clear, and at th< same time saved a large amount o. manure. A few factors, which are very r.r' portuut in feeding cattle: 1. A good grade of cattle bough: at a reasonable price. 2. The cattle of each pen should be of uniform size and age. It. Cattle to be fattened on cotter. ' seed meal should be ;t years old. 4. Cattle should be started ot. small quantities of meal, preferably a half pound of meal per hundrco 1 pounds of live weight. Meal should bo gradually increased about on< pound per month. a. Cattle should he kept irule; comfortable conditions, with plenty of fresh water accessible. (?. Roughage should ho raised a? homo instead of being bought at high prices; for instance, in the season o: 1910-11 some of tbe feeders fed as much as $17 worth of roughage pet steer, most of which was high priced hulls. It is impossible to make money under such conditions. 7. Cattle must bo well bedded wtp. material which will uhsosb all liquid' and kept in reasonably dry places. I' is characteristic, of cattle to refuse tc lie down in mud, and they most lie down in order to put on flesh. 8. Cattle must be well finished anc very fat to bring the best prices. 0, Cattle HhoiCd "?t be wei&br-o after long drives to the bos. weight when sold, All ftfUhepft V.'ho are contemplating feeding Cattle should contract for tlie.m during August or September, as this is the firm; mftst good CaltTo 01*01 being sold for feeding.

The State says the Colorado oat trophy, to be awarded lor the beet peck of oats exhibited at the YiHh National Corn exposition in oluiuiiH^ the latter part of this month, has been placed on exhibition in the wtndow of Sylvan Brothers' jewelry ' store. The big piece of silver ;fus attracted much favorable comment I I'ttAm dnrinir t Bo iv?lut f o u/ i lieiii pao<K;i MUI i*?ft i we i Ki yr ' days. It. will remain on exhibition 1 at Syivan's until immediately prior to the exposition, which opens January 27. This magnificent trophy is made of Colorado coin silver, and is valued at. 11,500. It stand's three feet highand in its general design rs an ideal! i/ation of a sheaf of oats. The trophy was donated by the State of Colorado, to be awarded for the best p+?ck of oats exhibited at the National Corn exposition through five successive expositions, beginning with the: third National Corn exposition Tit 1 009. The winner holds the trophy until the succeeding exposition. The individual oat ftrowoi* wTirr shall win the trophy the greatestnumber of times out of Uve at least twice, is to be awarded the porm.auent cus'ody of the prize. At each exposition a one-pound sample of the winning oats is placed in the trophy, j under seal, and at the end of the , period these live pound packages of prize oats are to become the piop: ?rty of the Blate of Colorado. IJcnuc.the trophy, as it. now stands in Hyfvan's window, contains two packages of prize oats. In 1900 thin beautiful trophy was awarded to A. I), Van Sickle of Warren, Minn.
