'What tlie Papers Havf* to Say About the
Work of the National Convention.
Des Moines Leader: Hurrah, then,
for Cleveland, Thurman and victory.
Emporia (Kan.) Democrat: Cleve-
land and Thurman. That is the ticket.
Clear the track, and 4'let ?er go Galla-
gher."
Chicago Globe: The convention, in
many characters the most remarkable
partv assembly the Republic has seen,
A t 1/ 1 *
has done its work well.
Moline (Ala.) Register: The blending
of the names of Cleveland and Thur-
man is equivalent to a victory. The
result is no longer doubtful.
St. Paul News: The selection of Cleve-
land and Thurman as the leaders of
the Democratic party in this campaign
means that the Democrats are going to
fight the battles of the campaign to win.
St. Louis Republic: The St. Louis
convention of 1883 will be a memorable
one, because its action closed the era
of sham politics and flung down the
gage of battle upon a living and vital
principles of public policy.
New York World: With Cleveland
standing for an idea—tariff reform—
and Thurman representing a sentiment
—unadulterated Democracy—there will
a*
be in the combination the promise and
potency of a lively campaign. The
red bandana is to be the Democracy's
44 oriftamme of war."
Dubuque (la.) Herald: Cleveland
and Thurman—that is the all-per-
vading sentiment throughout the coun-
try. One representing the best ele-
ments of the young Democracy of to-
day; the other representing all that
was worthy and of good report in the
past history of the party. Cleveland
and Thurman—that is a ticket which
can not be beaten.
Chicago Times: Cleveland, Thur-
man and tax reform will enter the can-
vass with well grounded assurance of
success. Monopoly will oppose the
m?n and the plan. The beneficiaries
of the system which taxes every body
fo * the benefit of somebody will enter
the campaign determined to break
down the champions of tariff reform.
But truth and the people are mighty.
Xew York Herald: It is as good a
platform as was ever adopted by a con-
vention; clear, straightforward, with-
out quibble or double-dealing. What
it declares concerning promises re-
deemed is true; what it promises the
ticket guarantees. Now let us see
what the Republicans can agree to at
Chicago. If they speak of the past
they must confess to pledges broken.
If they speak of the future, this Demo-
cratic platform warns them to greater
honesty than they have practiced in re-
cent years.
Cleveland Plaindealer: The ticket
satisfies every requirement. It is in-
vulnerable from every point of attack.
It appeals to the reason and the calm
judgment of the people not less than to
the enthusiastic devotion of the party
to its greatest living statesman. If the
Democratic party can not elect such a
ticket it can not elect any thing and
ought to retire from the business of
trying to elect Presidents and govern-
ing the country. The platfo.un is a
conservative statement, and yet it
makes bold proclamation on vital issues.
Indianapolis Sentinel: The name of
Allen G: Thurman is a synonym for all
that is wise and great in statesman-
ship, pure and upright in public life,
and amiable and lovable in personal
character. He has always antagon-
ized corruption, jobbery and monopoly
in every form, and no American states-
man deserves a warmer place in the
hearts of the toilers of the land. Indi-
ana had a candidate of her own, whose
defeat is sincerely regretted. But it is
no discredit to be beaten in a Demo-
cratic convention by Allen G. Thur-
man. Indiana's fifteen electoral votes
may be safely set down for Cleveland
and Thurman.
EXECUTIVE ENERGY.
Tlie Kansas Jayhawker's Latest Bilious
Attack on the President.
One of the most vitriolic articles ever
printed in an American magazine, that
of Senator Ingalls in the North A me ri-
ca begins with this attack upon
President Cleveland:
"The alleged election oí Grover Cleveland to
the Presidency in 18S4 was the most astound-
ing phenomenon in American politios, and *t ?s
<loubtfui whether its parallel can be found in
„ the history of any nation. Obscure men, igno-
rant men. degraded men, have been elevated
to power, but it has never before occurred that
a man possessing every acknowledged disqual-
ification has been selected because of them,
and elevated from the lowest to the highest
estate without ever having expressed a re-
corded opinion upon any public question. It is
not known that he ever made a political speech,
tried an important cause, was a member of any
« legislative body, wrote a remembered para-
graph. or expressed an intelligent idea, and
after three years of administration his political
Yiews, if be has any, are a matter of surmise
even to his partisans. It remains uncertain to
this hour whether bis predilections in the war
lor the Union were with the North or the South,
and except that he furnished a substitute when
conscripted, whom he subsequently permitted
to die In the poor-t*>use, it is certain that he
sustained no personal relation, either in senti-
ment or^deed, to the most momentous con-
troversy of modern times. He has no percepti-
ble connection will* the category of accidents
to which his elevation is due. He had neither
personal following, popularity, admiration nor
respect, because ht had not exhibited none of
tha traits nor attainments that inspire regard,
pa fn not eloquent, nor learned, nor culti-
vated, nor agreeable, nor entertaining, nor at-
tractive in mind, mr.nner or person. His en-
joyments were those which are fomd in the
unrestrained indulgence of the appetites and
passions, and his chosen associates were the
companions of his orgies."
There is some truth and some double-
distilled poison in Mr. Ingalls' charac-
terization of President Cleveland.
But his election to the Presidency in
1884 was not by any means 4'the most
astounding phenomenon in American
politics/' It is entirely and most grati-
fyingly explicable.
Mr. Ingalls"1 inability to understand
why the people of the United States
should choose such a man as Mr. Cleve-
land to the Presidenev roots in his non-
comprehension of what the people
want in their Chief Executive.
Mr. Ingalls seems to fancy that they
are honing for a man who has 44 made
apolitical speech." or 44 tried an im-
portant case,1' or 44 has been a member
of a legislative body." or has written 44a
remembered paragraph," or has 44 ex-
pressed an intelligent idea." He fancies
thev want as their Chief Executive a
man who is 44 eloquent, learned, culti-
vated, agreeable, entertaining, attract-
ive in mind, manner or person."
That is Mr. Ingalls1 44 most astound-
ing" mistake.
The people of the United States want
in their Chief Executive a man who
executes. That is why they elected
Mr. Cleveland, and there is nothing
4'astounding " about it.
In 1881 Buffalo, N. Y., was overrun
by a band of political outlaws, and the
usual crowd of good people were heav-
ing sighs from the bottom of their
o O
weak stomachs and saying that 44 you
can't enforce the laws in Buffalo."
Mr. Cleveland, a forty-four-year-old
lawyer there, who had been sheriff
ten years before and knew what he wa3
talking about, told the Democratic
party ni Buffalo and the timid people
of the city: Elect me mayor and I
will enforce the laws.
It took people's breath away, this
sublime impudence of this lawyer, pro-
posing actually that if made the city's
executive he would execute. But they
retained presence of mind enough to
vote for him.
Buffalo went Republican on the State
ticket that fall over 1,600, but this
Democratic reform lawyer, who pro
posed to bo mayor if elected mayor,
was elected by 3,580 majority, the big-
gest any Buffalo mayor ever got.
That was wonderful, but it does not
compare with what occurred after his
introducton into the mayoral office. Ho
became known right away as 44the veto
mayor." In the first six months of
his administration he saved the city
nearly $1,000,000 by vetoing extrava-
gant appropriations. More than that
and far greater than that, he executed
the laws of New York and the ordi-
nances of Buffalo.
That, Brother Ingalls, 4 4 was the most
astounding phenomenon in American
politics."
It struck the State of New York
dumb with astonishment to see the
chief executive of Buffalo give himself
not to the spouting of 44a political
speech," nor to the inditing of 44a re-
membered paragraph," but actually to
the execution of the laws.
Thev recovered from their astonish-
ment, however, enough to nominate
him the next summer for Governor of
New York, and to elect him that fall
by about 200,000 majority. They were
tickled as they could be to get a man
for Chief Executive of the State who
would execute the laws and not merely
be a clerk and an orator.
They fairly hugged themselves for
joy-
During (Trover Cleveland's term as
Governor of New York that State had
three departments—legislative, judi-
cial and executive, ae provided by the
constitution of that State.
The people of the United States
looked on in wonder and approval. To
them it mattered not that 44 he was not
eloquent, nor learned, nor cultivated,
nor agreeable, nor entertaining, nor
attractive in mind, manner or person."
He was an Executive who executed and
that was what called forth their spe-
cial admiration.
This is the man, said they, whom we
want to execute the laws of the United
States, and they insisted on having
j him, even though tfcey had to turn out
a twenty-year-old political party to do
it.
Now the only 44 astounding " thing in
all that is not that the people should
choose such a man for President, but
that a man could be found for mavor
w
of Buffalo who, after election, would
actually refuse to go into co-partner-
ship with the law-defying elements
and to the happy stupefaction of timid
despairing folk, actually execute the
laws.
It wa^ the execution that Grover
Cleveland wrought as mayor that made
him Governor. It was the execution
he wrought as Governor that made him
President. It is the execution he has
wrought as President that caused hia
renomination at St. Louis.
It is one of the 44 most astounding
phenomena in American politics/'
Brother Ingalls, that a man of youi
political discernment can not see that

PISCATORY HINTS.
Setli Green Writes About Practical Fish
Culture for Farmers.
There are few people who fully real-
ize the benefits to be derived from fish
culture, and estimate its value from a
practical standpoint I find there are
many who have read considerably on
the subject, and have a fair conception
#o far as can be gained by reading,
out who, never having seen a practical
illustration of fish culture, are edu-
cated only so far as their imagination
has shaped the scheme in their mind.
I have thought of it so much, wTritten
about it so much, and talked about it so
much and have had so much literature
on the subject placed before me, that
it seems to me that every body ought
to have a pretty clear idea of what the
artificial propagation of fish is; but of
course in this I am mistaken, and it is
not strange that I should be. With the
view of instructing readers who have
never had the matter explained to them.
1 will endeavor to describe its princi-
ples in as few words as possible.
We take a pair of fish, trout for in-
stance, a male and a female; for strange
7 O
as it may seem, there are many who
express surprise that the male as
well as the female is required. How-
ever, this is the fact. To operate
upon them artificially, both parents
must-be alive and healthy, and per-
fectly ripe. By the term ripe I mean
that the eggs contained in the fe-
male and also the mile or vitalizing
fluid of the male must be matured suf-
ficiently to leave the fish free and
easily, with but very little outside
assistance. An ordinary milk pan is
then placed on the floor or ground,
having been previously rinsed out
with water, and is tilted up on one
side, so that the spawn and milt will
readily collect in the lower side of the
pan. Every thing being in readiness
the operator takes the fish in hand—
the male first—and carries it close to the
bottom of the pan. Then by a few dex-
terous movements down the sides of the
abdomen he expresses the milt into the
pan. The female is then taken in hand
as quickly as possible and operated on
nearly in the same way, except that
the movements are slower and the
forefinger is gently pressed on the
abdomen, commencing low down to-
ward the vent, and gradually working
up toward the head. After this is done
the eggs and milt are immediately
mixed thoroughly by slowly tipping
the pan, first one way and then the
other, and water is graduallv added
o
until the pan is half full. This, in
brief, is the process of the artificial
mpregnation of fish eggs, and by this
mean*, if every thing is favorable,
from ninety to one hundred per cent,
of the eggs should be vitalized, as
against less than twenty-five per cent,
in tlie natural way. After the spawn
has been taken in the pan, a glutinous
substauce is formed which causes the
eggs to adhere to the sides and bottom
of the pan and to each other for about
twenty or thirty minutes, after which
it appears to dissolve and the eggs
become detached from the pan and sep-
arated. As soon as this occurs they are
washed by rinsing in several waters,
and are then placed in the hatching
apparatus, of which there are several
different kinds. Here they remain
from seventy to one hundred and thirty
to forty days, according to the temper-
ature of the water. If the water for
the hatchery is taken directly from a
spring where tlie temperature ranges
from forty to fifty degrees Fahrenheit
the former time is required, if it is taken
from under the ice, where a uniform
temperature of about thirty-four de-
grees is maintained, then it takes the
longer time. After the fish are hatched
they are encumbered with a yolk sac
extending Irom the under part of the
gills to the vent, and from forty to
sixty days are consumed before this is
absorbed, the fish requiring no food
till this is nearly gone. As soon as
the frv reach this stage—or are able to
V O
"swim up," as the expression goes—
they are ready to be deposited in the
waters to seek their own subsistence,
grow to a good size, and rejoice the
angler who is fortunate enough to
o n
place his line so temptingly as to se-
cure the prize.—American Aaricul-

GENUINE KOUMISS.
Where It Comes From and How It I
Churned and Condensed.
The Bashkirs are renowned for their
skill in making koumiss, or fermented
mares' milk, which is now extensively
consumed by patients suffering from
dyspeptic and wasting diseases, and
so easy is it of digestion that invalids
drink ten, fifteen and occasionally
even twenty champagne bottles a day,
whilst a Bashkir is able to overcome a
couple of gallons at a sitting, and in
an hour or two to be ready for more.
To insure «,*ood koumiss it is essential
that the mares be of the steppe breed,
and fed on steppe pasture. They are
milked from four to eight times a day,
the foal being kept apart from the
mother, and allowed to suck oniv in
w •
the night-time. The mare will not
give her milk, however, unless at the
time of milking her foal is brought to
her side, when such is the joy of re-
union that after sundry acts of loving
and smelling and kissing, the maternal
feeling shows itself bv her «sometimes
giving milk from both nipples at once.
Milking is done by the b;ishkir wom-
en, who, taking a position close to the
hind-legs of the mare, rest on oiie
knee, and on the other support a pail
directly under the udder, pulling at
each nipple in turn, and receiving
from three to four pints each time of
milking. To make koumiss the milk
is beaten up in a churn (but not suf-
ficiently to procure butter), and by
fermentation is converted after twenty-
four hours into weak koumiss, from
which condition after twelre hours
more it passes into a medium degree of
strength, whilst strong koumiss is pro-
duced by assiduous agitation of the
milk for two or three days, and it is
then said to be slightly intoxicating.
We met at Orenburg Dr. Carrick,
physician to the English Embassy at
St. Petersburg, who vas superintend-
ing an establishment in the steppe
for condensing mares' milk for ba-
bies1 food. They take away nine parts
of the water by boHing the milk in
vacuo, and preserve the remainder
with glycerine, after which, by restor-
ing the niue parts of water, milk can
be remade for immediate use or fer-
mented into koumiss. Marcs1, asses1
and human milk, it seems, are much
alike, but each differs chemically from
%* i.
cows1 milk. In Russia the medical
faculty have spoken very highly in-
deed of the results obtained by the
use of this mares1 milk as infants1
food.—Dr. Lansdell, in Harper's Mpg-
azine.
UNIQUE COLLECTION.
The Chairs of Men and Women Whose
Names Are Known to History.
The collection of chairs which the
late Mr. George Godwin formed is now
to be seen at the house where he re-
sided in Cromwell place. The library
is completely filled with these chairs,
ranged round the room, and forming
altogether rather a soury spectacle of
departed greatness in so many empty
seats, all old and worn. The plainest
of all is a little, stiff arm-chair of oak,
said to be that in which Shakespeare
sat and wrote, the credentials of wtyich
are to be read in a long inscription, in
handwriting of the time ofGarrick, set
in under glass in the back of the chair.
That Mr. Godwin believed in it and
treated it with all reverence is well
known, and there is the small chain
stretehed across the elbows to warn
off all who might presume to sit in
such a seat. The only attempt to orna-
ment it is in a very rude carving on the
back, of a church with a steeple. It is so
narrow in the seat that the poet, if he
ever sat in it, must have been smaller
than most • men. Next to this is the
library chair of John Gay, elaborately
contrived, with broad-spread, well-
stuffed arms and seat covered in rusty
black leather, brass branches for
candles at the elbows and a flap for a
desk at the back, besides a drawer in
the seat for pens, ink and paper—alto-
gether an authentic-looking chair and,
no doubt, with a full pedigree forth-
coming. The neighboring chair to
this is called Anne Boleyn's chair be-
cause it came out of Ilever Castle about
forty years ago. Another, quite sug-
gestive of the attributed oocupier, is
that of Dr. Watts, an angular, well-
made oak chair, most respectable and
comfortablo. Sir Walter Raleigh's
chair is an important and stately seat,
the frame made of tuimed ball-work,
gilt, and with a cushion, all well pre
served. As a chair characteristiee o
the man the huge enrule of rough oak,
with stout arms, fit for a giant to
rest on, exactly fits Walter Savage
Landor. Mrs. Siddons1 chair is a very
d i fie re nt one from that she sits in as
"The Tragic Muse," in Sir Jos-
hua'8 splendid portrait; it is of simple
bamboo and very coarsely made.
Next to it is the handsome, embroid-
ered easy chair, elegant and comfort-
able, which belonged to Etizabeth Bar-
rett Browning. Thackeray's large,
well-stuffed crimson easy chair must
have been his resting chair, not his
working seat, for ho usually wrote
o *
with his desk upon his knees, as E. M.
Ward has painted him from the life in
his study. Charles Matthew's chair is
a thoroughly well-worn, shabby nffair,
redolent still of good cigars. Lady
Morgan's is a Louis XVL throne-like
chair in crimson Utrecht velvet, fit for
the witty queen of society in her day.
The favorite chair of Lytton Bui we r,
in which, we are told, he wrote many
of his early works at Craven cottage,
Fullliam, is a circular arm-chair with
a cane seat Byron's is a handsome
Louis XIV. chair, well-stuffed, and in
red Utrecht velvet. An uncomforta-
ble-looking, uninviting chair, covered
in dark leather, was Alexander Pope's.
Even for Napoleon ¡he Great a chair is
to be found, and of Louis Quatorze
pattern in green stamped velvet Be-
sides these chairs there are many other
relics such as the curious in such
things will find well worth a visit —
