The HERALD is issued every Saturday morning in time for the fit st mails. East, West. North aDd South, and contains all the latest news of impor- tance up till the hour of going to press. TERMS, IN ADVANCE : ONE YEAR $1 fiO SIX MONTHS 75 Office in the Scripture Block, (second floor) Arsenal Street, near the City Opera Hous*\ IS GLADSTOXE DEFEATED? The returns thus far from the parlia- mentary elections in England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland, pretty clearly indi- cate that Gladstone has failed to carry his point 8p far as gaining a working majority in the next parliament in favor of home rule for Irelatid. His powerful speeches and letters have failed to create that enthusiasm necessary to get out all the votes. The opposition has made side issues, electing their men in many instances by leading the voters to believe that home rule was simply a step toward the dismemberment of the kingdom. , In the present election there are really four parties in the Held, the con- servatives, the liberals, the Parnellites and the unionists. The Parnellites and the liberals are one on the home rule question. The conservatives and union- ists may be said to be the same, with this difference: The unionists are as much opposed to coercion in Ireland as are the liberals, and in all probability will in the next parliament oppose coer- cion as vehemently as home rule. This condition of affairs will, if neither of the dominant parties has complete control, as seems now probable, produce a state of affairs which will require statesmen to manage. Gladstone is a shrewd politician as well as a statesman. He certainly may be expected to take advantage of every opportunity offered. He has won the confidence of the Irish people and may expect a solid support from that quarter. Having this support, he may make such changes in his home rule bill as will win the support of the unionists, who have a kindly feeling toward him, because they have worked as a general thing under his leadership. It is safe to predict that Mr. Gladstone has not yet given up his fight, and if his health does not fail him, will make it decidedly interesting for those who oppose granting to Ireland the power of enacting and enforcing its local laws. HOME TRADE. The farmers of northern New York are manufacturing cheese for foreign consumption. They employ cheesemak- ers who can make cheese which will \keep\ until it arrives in England. Why is this? Simply because they have depended upon foreign trade to take the products of their factories. The nutritive value of one pound of cheese is more than that of one pound of beefstake. Why is it, then, that our northern New York farmers do not sell their cheese at home ? The farmer answers : \The grocer charges from three to six cents per pound more than he pays for it. It thus becomes a luxury to the working- man. Our boards of trade have taught us that two cents a pound, which in- cludes ocean and rail freight and dealer's profit, puts it on the English workman's table for consumption.\ The grocer says: \Cheese is manu- factured so that we have to keep it a long time before it is saleable to the ma- jority of our customers. Every custom- er wants to taste the cheese before buy- ing. An ounce is consumed in this way. Some like it, some don't. On an aver- age, we do not make more than one cent per ponnd.\ If between the American producer and American consumer there is from three to six cents per pound on cheese, while between the American producer and the English consumer there is but two cents per pound, there ought to be some way to remedy the evil, for an evil it certainly is. Suppose that some factories manufac- ture cheese for immediate consumption, and get grocers to handle their produc- tion at a small margin ; then let the pub- lic know what has been done. What would be the result ? Would it cause an increased consumption of cheese at home? We think so. At^the present price of cheese, the experiment is worth trying. Let the farmers work as hard for home as they have for foreign trade, and it is certain that they can at least help their present condition. epublican paity who believe that the nen who put down the rebellion have already been more than paid. Can the I president win these to his support by the course he is taking? Can the republicans , win the support of the democratic sol | soldiers by the course they are taking? I These are questions which will be answered at the ballot box. JOHN BRIGHT, while opposing home rule, professes great sympathy for the 1 Irish people. It is the kind of sympathy that is expressed in words and not shown by acts. THREE thousand copies of the HERALD were issued last week, and the demand for the paper was not supplied. This week five hundred extra copies are add- ed. People sending for sample copies should understand that they are five cents each. Postal cards for such find a place in our waste basket UUR special from Dansville indicates that some expert has discovered natural gas in close proximity to Watertown. If this should prove to be the case, the Electric Light company would have cause for rejoicing over its long contract, for natural gas knocks out electricity as easily as the latter does manufactured gas, in a dollar and cents view. EX-SENATOR FRANCIS KEEN AN is the first bird caught by the eagle eyed New York Tribune reporter, and plauts him- self squarely iu favor of President Cleve- land's renomination, dismissing our present active and energetic governor with such a common-place remark as he is \a very clever young man.\ Even the old ones are trapped into saying things at times which they care not to have published. ABRAM S. Hewitt emphatically de- clares that he will not return to congress under any circumstances. There are few abler men in congress than Mr. Hewitt, and *hp nation will lose by his retirement. He if the right kind of a man for our legislative halls, and his resolve will be regretted by intelligent men who differ with him on govern- mental matters as sincerely as by those who agree with him. DAIRY Commissioner Brown is ener- getically at work trying to stamp out bogus butter under the amended law passed by the last legislature. He be- lieves he has the eastern part of the state so organized that the stuff cannot be sold without detection, and he is now moving westward, attending the Utica board of trade each week to learn what the members of that organization know about the sale of the fraud. Every scrap of information should be cheerfully furn- ished him, or his authorized agents, to the end that the people may secure what they think they are buying and a very large stumbling block be removed from the dairymen's path. GLOOMY reports continue to come by telegraph concerning the Texas wool clip. The average clip is 40.000,000 pounds, but the figures telegraphed in- dicate that the crop will this year be fifteen million pounds short. Eastern buyers are unable to secure the amount they wanted, and the fact that all their purchases are now being made at private terms is a pretty fair indication that they are paying above the market quotation, in order to keep down prices in other parts of the country until the clip is all secured by dealers. Thousands of sheep have died for want of water and grass, owing to the drouth, and it is believed that there will be no mutton to ship this year, WE have received advance sheets of R. G. Dun & Co.'s semi-annual report on the business coudition of the United States, tho failures of the past six months and the present outlook. The repoit is gratifying in every particular. It ap- pears that during the first quarter of the year business failures in the United States numbered 8,203 against 3,658 in the first quarter of 1885. a decrease of about 12£ per cent., and of about 2 | per cent, as compared with the first quarter of 1884. During the second quarter, however, there were only 1,958 failures against 2,346 last year and 2,214 in 1884, the improvement being about 16| per cent, and 12 per cent, respectively. It will be seen that the showing I'B better for the second quarter than the first in every respect. When the comparison is made on liabilities the improvement be- comes more striking. BIDDING FOR VOTES. It is stated that President Cleveland has vetoed more private pension bills than all his republican predecessors. We have seen nowhere the figures to pr< this assertion. But he certainly has within a very short time sent in a great number of vetoes, irrespective of the claimants' political bias. Several of these pension vetoes have been singled-out for the purpose of pass- ing them over the president's head, and the country is likely to be treated to gome speeches which will hereafter be used to influence the soldier vote. We believe the president has consider- ed what effect these vetoes will have on the masses of the people; that he is will- ing to put his party on record as oppos ©d to the granting of so many pensions. And he certainly has in the lower house of congiess many able defenders, who do not believe it is necessary to appeal to the soldier vote to win at the next national election, The republicans are putting themselves on record as the champion of the veter- ans, even to the extent of defending some questionable cases. An issue is being raised right here be- tween the dominant political parties. There are a host of wealthy men in th Q WE have read of and seen a good many \ paper''towns, but the scheme by which a certain southern publication proposes building up a subscription list and at the same time putting the owner- ship to a new town into other hands, is certainly unique. The town in question is West St. Augustine, and it is situated in close proximity to St. Augustine, Fla., the olilest town in the United States. The proprietors of the periodical in ques- tion propose to send their magazine for one year to any address, and to every one so subscribing they will send a deed for a lot in the new town, with taxes paid up to Jan. 1, 1887. There are 700 acres laid out for a town site, and of course there are no houses in this tow and probably never will be, and the deed to the lot will not be worth the paper it is drawn on. But there are a good many lots 100x40 feet in 700 acres, and if properly advertised the scheme ought to be a good one for those who manipulate it. Barnum says the public likes to be humbugged, and he certainly (night to be good authority. When, therefore, the American public are offer- ed something for nothing, they know they are going to be humbugged, but they will certainly bite. So this new town scheme ought to give the new periodical a large circulation and line the, pockets of the proprietors with gold galore. Four dollars per lot of the size named is a big price per acre for that region and regarding the matter as a bona fide sale, it is a wise scheme. liXl'liR T OPINION S Tha t Brin g th e Roae * t o th e Heral d Editor' s Cheeks . The first issue of the Watertown HER ALU reached us Saturday evening. It is neatly printed, on unusually good paper. Its editor, Jere. Coughlin, is one of the best known and best newspaper men in Northern New York. That he may be successful in his venture is the wish of his hosts of friends. — Antwerp Gazette. Jere. Coughlin's new paper, the Watertown HERALD, has made its ap- pearance. It is a well edited, nicely printed sheet of eight pages, and the editor announces that the paper will be an \independent local family newspa- per.\ The first page is adorned with a correct picture of Hon. Beman Brock- way of the Watertown Times.—Lowville Journal. The first number of the Watertown HERALD, the new Sunday paper estab- lished by Jere. Coughlin, made its ap- pearance Saturday. An edition of 3,000 found ready sale, and the enterprise promises to be well sustained from the outset. The new paper ia well edited and presents an attractive appearance typographically. —Lowville Democrat. The first number of the Watertown HELALD, Jere. Coughlin's new paper, reached us Saturday evening. It is an eight page paper with seven columns to the page, filled to the brim with clq^n, healthy matter and has a substantial ap- pearance about it which is pleasing to the eye. The initial number was hurriedly prepared, yet is the forerunner of a news- paper which is destined to become very popular in Northern New York—Car- thage Republican, The first number of the Watertown HERALD, Jere. Coughlin editor and pro prietor, has reached our office. The HERALD is published every Saturday morning, and will contain all the latest news up to the time of going to pre Mr. Coughlin's well known ability as an editorial writer, and his long experience in journalism, are a sufficient guarantee of the HERALD'S success. The first issue is bright and new r sy and so, we doubt not, will be all its successors. The paper is independent in politics.— Lowville Times. As the result of an amalgamation of several newspapers in Northern New York, we received to-day the first copy of the Watertown HERALD, of which Mr. Jere. Coughlin, late editor of the Watertown Times, is proprietor. The HERALD is certain to be a financial suc- cess if the people of Jefferson county support a readable paper. It is an eight- page, fifty-six column sheet, well printed, cleverly edited, and claims to be independent religiously, politically and otherwise.—Brockville Recorder. The Watertown HERALD is the name of the newspaper issued by Jere Cough- lin from the Scripture block, in this city, which made its appearance on Saturday last. Its mechanical look is of a high order, white paper, clean paper, and fair sized type. It is declared to be an inde- pendent family paper, and the initial number is largely filled with stories and other pleasant literature, with a full grist of local matters, indicating that in- dustry and care have been given in its preparation. The paper is worthy of success and no doubt will achieve it.— Watertown Post. Mr. Jere. Coughlin issued on Saturday from his office on Ai'senal street the first number of the WATERTOWN HERALD, a new venture in the newspaper world. It is an eight-page, seven-column paper of fine typographical appearance, abun- duntly illustrated, and edited with the painstaking care and felicitous grace of expression for which Mr. Coughlin has long been noted. Mr. Coughlin's many years of training in newspaperial work, his comprehension of all its branches, insures the success of his new venture, and the Times unites with his hosts of friends in wishing him the utmost suc- cess.—Watertown Times. HAIIUISVILLE, Crop Prospects . Carefully prepared crop reports are published, showing the probable yield of winter wheat 295,000.000 bushels against 212,000,000 in .1885, with a slight increase in corn. Spring wheat has been consid- erably injured by drouth, and the yield will probably be 140,000.000 bushels against 145,000,000 last year. The total wheat crop will probably be 433,000,000 bushels against 357,000,000 bushels last year. In oats there has been a slight in- crease in acreage, but the crop has been considerably injured by drouth and in- sect pests, and will probably yield 600,- 000,000 bushels against 629.000,000 in 1885. Of rye and barley there will be excellent crops, on a slightly increased acreage. There is a good stand of corn, and the outlook is excellent for a fine crop. The potato crop will be heavy. There has been a large increase in the area of cultivated grasses in the west and south, and a considerable yield in clover. There will be a heavy crop of hay, though it has been injured some- what by drouth and insects in places. These estimates take in the country at large. Reports from many points in the HERALD'S parish are not so rosy. Espe chilly is this true of the hay and potato crop. Dr. Sehwiniger, Prince Bismark's physician, has not allowed the chancel lor for some time past to drink anything during meals. Now he goes a step furth er, and wishes the Prince to shut off on beer-drinking altogether. Bismark will obey, as he found out on two or three occasions when he remonstrated with Dr. Sehwiniger that the latter will stand no trifling. It takes Home time for a murderer to understand the workings of the law, but he finally gets the hang of it. Weak & Co. is the name of a business partnership in Bridgeport. It doesn't sound like a firm name, but it is. Chris Von der Ahe says: \The asso- ciation must make me no more nonsense, for I won't have it.\ HARRISVILLE, July 9.—The railroad work is progressing rapidly. Push for- ward, is the order all along the line. Building hviuses and buying lots on every street in Harrisville. John and Arthur Hitchcock gradu- ated last week from Potsdam Normal School. There are people in town from New York, Utica and other cities for their summer rest, Work has commenced upon the groun.ls where n to be erected a new M. E. church in Harrisville. A large black bear was caught by Harvey Ackerman, Saturday night of laBt week, on Wm. Palmer's farm. Charles Lake and Fred Palmer have returned from Potsdam Normal to their home here to spend their summer vaca- tion, Jay ville, the terminus of the Carthage & Harrisville R. R., is buildiug up rapidly. A large number of miners and railroad workers are there. Rev. Mr. P. E. Coote, of Watertown, preached a grand sermon to the people of Harrisville, Sabbath last. His text, \Have faith in God,\ was inscribed upon a good many hearts. Our village school closed Friday last. The teachers, Misses Mabel Wagenor and Clara Harris, deserve much praise for their faithfulness and wise manage- ment. The school haB been a Buccess, and the closing exercises spoke well for both teachers and pupils. DENMARK. m DENMARK, July 9.—Mrs. C. H. Towns- end is slowly failing. Raspberries are. beginning to ripen. There were 70 couples at the party at Fred Butser's last Friday evening. Haying commenced among the farm- ers here last Monday. Our base ball club adjourned playing ball until after the haying and harvest- ing. There was a council of doctors for Mrs. H. Blodgett last week Thursday- Crosby & Bingle. She is now better. Highway Commissioner P. Harter has made repairs on bridges, etc., here. He is now improving the George Stephens hill. George Barnum Has two Ayrshire cows that are each making 22£ pounds of butter a week. One is a two-year-old heifer. The apple crop will not be over a tenth of last year's crop. The hay crop will be about the some as last year. Fruit trees have continued to die all the spring. The new weed that made its first ap- pearance in meadows, having a small yellow flower, is hawkweed. It is of European origin, so says the department of agriculture. Our base ball club, the Plow Boys, and the Castorland nine played a game of nine innings last week Thursday afternoon, which was quite interesting. There was quite a number of spectators to witness the game. The Plow Boys made 27 runs before the Castorland club made one. The Castorland club got a blinder on first third and fifth innings. Captain Whitf ord of the Plow Boys, said to his members on the fourth inning \ Knock out; it makes to much running,\ and this continued through the remain ing part of the game. Time four hours. This is the second game of our club, They are all green hands. The score for the Plow Boys was 72,for the Castorland club 18. The Plow Boys by sharp play ing could have easily made their score over one hundred. REDWOOD. REDWOOD, July 9.—Charles LaDue has returned to his home in Redwood after a prolonged absence. Henry Hoffman rests a month or more before taking up the pipe. The Redwood cornet band did them- selves great credit at Hammond Satur- day. The now uniforms give the boys a martial appearance, and of course they play much better in their new dress. The $5,000 cottage on Round Island Butterfield Lake, is nearing completion fast. It was a quiet affair, but somewhat serious in its results. A handf ull of hair, more or less, was found in the street, near by, shortly afterwards. Mr.Gleason,of the combination Nugent & Gleason, was in town. Fred. T. Holms is quite as lively about the store since his California trip as ever and his \anything more\ is said so pleas; ently that it begins to tell. Farmers are getting ready to do their haying and harvesting with little help aside from machinery. The dance at the American Hotel was well attended, about 80 couples, tipped the light fantastic to the>u*usie of Stealy & Mevally's orchestra. \ Mr. E. Cole is in town, looBung up the interest of the^ firm manufacturing \Pain's Pigment.\ PATIEMA. PAMELIA, July 9.—Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Countryman are visiting friends at Dex- ter.

A strawberry and ice-cream festival was held at the residence of Frederick Gould on Saturday evening last, The proceeds go to the Pamelia Cornet band. But few farmers have commenced haying in this section as yet. The hay crop is light compared to last year's crop, but grain is looking fair and promises a fair yield. Harrison Cole raised one of the largest and finest barns in the town of Pamelia on Monday last, it being eighty feet long and forty-five feet wide, with twenty- two foot posts, standing on a seven foot wall. What its the difference between the average swan and a i-rilliunt sunset? One is white in the breast and the other is bright in the west. Sporting Note*. The Mets are playing fine. How sur- prised they must be to be out of last place. Bobby Mathews has been pitching for nearly twenty years, and is yet the peer 1 of many of the twirlers of to-day. I Miss Bertie Town*eud of the Belmont Cricket club* is considered the champion lawn tennis player of the Quaker city. The St. Louis MaroonB are batting hard and fielding well and coming sec- ond in nearly all the games they play. How strange it is that pitchers always get sore arms when they are batted freely. Why not get up some new racket. Miss Estelle Winter a 15-year-old miss of Mott Haven, is astonishing her-ac- quaintances by hei cleverness at lawn tennis. Detroit has signed a new catcher, E. H. Ducker, of the Macon, Ga., club, who played with Indianapolis in 1884. They say he is a dandy. George E. Hendee is considered the fastest wheelman in the world. In reoent trial he made a mile in 2 minutes 37 seconds with ease. Mrs. Howard Badgeley, of the New York tennis club, says she would not give up the prizes which she won at Orange recently, for thousands of dol- lars, About 2,000 people assembled at Bat- tery D. in Chicago Monday night to witness the Grseco-Roman wrestling contest between Muldoon and Evan Lewis, (the strangle^) Duncan C.Ross was chosen referee. Lewis got the first •fall in 2 minutes 30 seconds; Muldoon the second in 30 minutes 45 seconds. Muldoon retired to his room and soon annonnced he was ill and couldn't con- tinue. The match was giver, to Lewis. Don' t Yo u Forge t That The Very Best Place To Purchase all Kinds of DKY GOODS HERRICK&AYERS! No. 6 Commercial Block, Public Square and Franklin Street.

Originally it was conferred on members of congress, members of the cabinet, governors and other high mugwumps. Next members of legislatures were called honorable, and now pretty much every fellow whom anybody wishes to please gets this vague and determinate epithet. It is a matter of taste, and there is no precise rule about it. CASTORLAND . CASTORLAND, July 9.—Charles Burton is helping S. Howard do his haying. Ernest Tanzer has purchased a new top buggy of I.
