Politica have become bo pre-eminently the province and occupation of the American people that it naturally comes to the front at all times and on all occa sions. The smoke of battle has scarcely blown away, and the. reasons why this party won, or that party lost, satisfac torily explained, before the business of selecting other candidates and arrang ;ing new issues is began. ' Already the field is being looked over for presiden tial timber, and the name of Cleveland is whispered about as a possible third termer. This is the veriest nonsense. Cleveland has occupied the white house for about six years, will continue to do so for two years more, and then he will retire from public life. He has made an indifferently good president, though he has made some mistakes ; notably the attempt to re-instate the Hawaiian queen, and (as a political measuro at least) the convening of congress to re peal the purchasing clauee of the Sher man act, when the silver question had not been in iseue in the campaign which terminated in his election. The trouble with him is that he has not traveled The country west of Washington, as far 88 his personal knowledge goes, may be the great American desert. New York is to him the center of the universe, with Boston and Chicago situated just within the circumference. New York City is his Mecca and Wall street the ehrine of his deity. The next president should be a west tern man; one who has had energy enough to get out of the state in which he was born and get a personal knowl edge of the magnitude and resources, of the country, and one who is not, and never has been, the attorney for one or more great corporations; a man of the people, and of the whole people in stead of Borne particular clas3. Cleve land is not such a man, neither is, or was, his predecessor. The next presi dent should come from not further east than Illinois, and preferably from west of the Mississippi, though this latter can hardly be hoped for. Wherever the candidate of the democracy may come from, however, it will not be Mr. Cleve land. The next president will be a republi can, and from present indications the nominee will be either Tom Reed or Wm. McKinley, and though geography is against Reed, he will be elected if nominated. The West is tired of New York, and does not at present desire any more of Indiana. However, there is yet abundant time to grow and har vest an average crop of piesidential pos sibilities before the next national con vention, and it may be the frosts will catch those who sprouted too early. SELECT THE SEED. The following from the pen of Prof. Cleveland Abbe, for a quarter of a cen tury a professor in the weather bureau, will no doubt be found of value, or at least give germs of thought to the reader. The ideas advanced by Prof. Abbe were brought from him in re spone to a letter concerning the rain makers who have been operating in the central Mississippi valley this season : "Money should not be wasted on the rainmakers, but spent on wells, ditches, reeervoirs, irrigation, windmills, and in other useful ways. An artificial pond and a grove of trees 'encircling it to break the wind would save more water than the rainmakers can ever hope to bring down. "The effect of a dry season is to per fect seed that will prosper in a similar dry season, and vice versa. The seed tak.n from a dry field ontjlit to succeed next year if planted in a dry field ; but. of course, still better if planted in a moist field. Ask your crop reporters what their experience is in this respect. The seed taken from the South and planted in the North gives a late vari ety, and vice versa. The seed carried from moist to dry climates does poorly at first, but eventually a variety is evolved suited to the new climate. Thus the grains of Europe aie gradually adapting themselves to the climate of our most arid regions, just as they have done in southern Russia. "Each farmer does something to pre Tent the ill effects of a long drouth by saving for next year's seed that which ripened first in the dryest part of his farm. This is a lesson that I have learned from my study of climates and crops. The variability of the climate is harder on crops than its intrinsic sever i y. " The seed is always trying to adapt it-elf to the climate, but, of course, is always a year behind." . John L. V ilKn meiubwr of congress from Waehinirton id a versatile chap. According to latest reports Wilson de sire to e the next United States sena tor from his etate. The platform is for free silver at 16 t 1, but Wilson en dorses it heartily. Two years ago, Mr. Wilson voted in favor of repealing the Sherman act. It is not very long ago either that Mr. Wilson applied to Presi dent Cleveland to be appointed register of the Spokane land office. He -then passed as "that sterling young demo crat," etc. Mr. Wilson is entirely too fluctuating" for the eenatorship, or any thing else. Madeline Pollard is going to star, and her manager expects her to make a great hit. If the ladies of the country at large will do as good and conscientious work as those of Kentucky Miss Pollard will be relegated to the shades of private life as thoroughly as her partner the late W. C. Breckinridge.' Miss Pollard may have been more sinned against than sinning, but however that may be, it is no excuse for her using her malodorou8 actions as an advertisement. DRAWBACKS OF FREE LIBRARIES The Particular Book You Want Is Always Out and the System of Fines Annoying. Here is one man's -experience of a free circulating library: "I gave my reference and took out my first book. It was good to scan the library list and see the amount of literature I could read free. The second time I wrote, according to the rule, the list of cabal istic figures which index the book, and after nearly a half hour's delay I was told that the one I wanted was 'out.' Then I put down fresh sets of figures and wasted more half honrs, but they were all 'out,' until I finally took in desperation -a book recommended me by the young woman who disappears for such an age to make the searches. This book proved so uninteresting that I brought it back next day and again went through the figure list business and the half hours of waiting, until I wound up by repeating my previous ex perience and taking a book by recom mendation. "I threw it aside on reaching home and forgot I had it until a postal warn ing me of the due of one cent for every day over two weeks in which I had it had now set in. I turned up with it when -eight cents were due, took out another I didn t want and forgot it until eleven cents were due, kept up the business of fignre lists, waitings, books I didn't call for and fines after ward throughout a year until I might far better have bought straightout the books I wanted, but never got. "At last one time with a book in my possession I left town. jA siege of postals and of visits from a mysterious- looking man kept my servant busy. I had forgotten all about the book, and my friends were indignant over the dunning of this individual. On my re turn to town I -found that my refer ence had been called upon to pay for the book which I was in the position of having stolen from the library, and that my reputation was in an unpleas ant fix. I now pay for my books." Two Kinds of Women need Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription those who want to be made strong, and those who want to be made well.

Mr. Richard Birrs, the well-known Druggist, 20T llcGill St., Montreal, P. Q., says: I have sold Ayer's Family Medicines . for 40 years, and have heard nothing but good said of them. I know of many Wonderful Cures performed by Ayer's Sarsaparilla, one in particular being that of a little daughter of a Church of England minis ter. The child was literally covered from head to foot with a red and ex ceedingly troublesome rash, from which she had snff ered for two or three years, in spite of the best medical treatment available. Her father was in great distress about the case, and, at my recommendation, at last began to ad minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot tles of which effected a complete core, much to her relief and her father's delight. I am sure, were he here to-day, he would testify in the strongest terms as to the 'merits of Ayer's Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, ilatm.
