the beautiful valley known as Sart¬ well Creelf. And so sociable were the people along the route, and so hospitable, not only at Roulet, where one of the Boyington House diriners was set in tempting style before him, but at each place he stopped, tliat it took twenty-four hours to cover the short drive.
No more beautiful vale is found in Potter county than the one that gave the name to the township called Pleasant Valley. Its farms show thrift and care and its dwellings, al¬ most without exception, indicate taste and refinement. Even a short acquaintance with the hard-working farmers of that locality gives one the impression that they do a good deal of reading and do their own thinking. It is not only a pleasure to meet and converse with people possessing the sturdy character and peaceful temperament of these farm¬ ers, but it is of practical value to oue who deals in ideas and is am¬ bitious to keep in touch with the best class of citizens and represent their best thoughts.
A short distance up the valley from Burtville we found Dorman Card, a farmer who has done excel¬ lent work in the county along edu¬ cational lines, occupying a most productive looking farm and adding new barns to his already comfort¬ able buildings. Mr. Card is evi¬ dently prospering in spite of the '"crime of '78."
B. B. Reed ju.st above was work¬ ing hard at his haying, but found a few minutes tp chat, and his hospit¬ able wife offered the wandering re¬ porter a dish of delicious ice cream. We couldn't get by veteran Lewis who with his son-in-law, L. C. Kibbe, occupy as cosy a residence as oue would wish to find, and we tarried till the morning with these kind people.
A visit to the old "Worden home¬ stead, now occupied by Mr. Jordan, brought back the memory indistinct though it was, of the visit to the same place when a boy of tender years, in the days when it was nee essary to make the trip to Canoe Place to get carded the clipping of Potter county wool. Mr. Jordan has a magnificent farm and has raised withal some boys of whom he may well be proud.
Allen Rifle was found working till late at night as he is doing his farming, a log job and running the Burtville cheese factory at the same time.
Two of the most thrifty farmers on the Creek are William and Fred Ernst whose big barns were bulg¬ ing with a big crop of hay and whose grain looks exceedingly luxuriant.
J. C. Dehn is another farmer who is pardonably proud of his broad acres and fine crops, and A. J. Leh¬ man, who had just begun his oat harvest, keeps up with the proces¬ sion. We found our old friend, Frank Sweten, very nicely situated on the Manning farm with one of the finest orchards in that vicinity. A few specimens of choice early apples were greatlj'^ enjoyed, as well as a political discussion that devel¬ oped the fact that Mr. Sweten has become infected with the 16 to 1 mal¬ ady, which is seldom fatal and which must soon succumb to the gold cure. Every man was busy with the finishing strokes of haying, with the exception of a few who were lumbering. Thomas Mack and his boys have a comfortable home and are doing a job for the Penu Tan¬ ning Company.
Robert McDowell, an old acquaint¬ ance, never turns a hungry man from his door and made no exception in our case. The farmers do a lot of complaining and of right, too, but when one sits down to the table of such farmers as are found on Sartwell Creek it makes him feel that if he must starve, he would like to starve with the farmer.
Neither space nor time will per¬ mit a mention of all the fine fai-ms and dwellings, but suffice to say that the farmers in this valley seem to vie with one another in keeping things slick. The front lawns of most of the houses are as well-kept as those in the village. Another characteristic of the people in that neighborhood, to their credit, might be noted in passing, and that is a disposition to mind their own busi
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, Aug. 16, 1897.
Nothing more contemptible is I'e- corded in the annals of American politics than the plot, for plot it undoubtedly is, to attempt to force the retirement from the Cabinet of Secretary Shei'man by misrepresent¬ ing not only his words and acts, but his mental condition. Secretary' Sherman was never stronger mental¬ ly than he is today, but even if it were true that his mental faculties were beginning to feel the advance of age, his long and honorable public service would entitle him to sympa¬ thy, in place of the sneers and inuendoes which have been and being meted out to him in columns of the Democratic assistant Democratic press, course, everybody  knows that

principal object of these political ghouls is to injure the Republican party in Ohio at the coming election, but, as the average of intelligence among Onio voters is as high as that of the voters in any state in the Un¬ ion,this nasty plot will be more likely to react upon its concoctors than to injure the Republican party or Secretary Sherman. The Ohio voters are likely to have an opportunity to judge for themselves whether the mental faculties of Mr. Sherman are as strong as ever, as he intends making some speeches in the state during the campaign, if his health continues as good as' it is now.
No surprise was felt by those who knew theanimusof the chai'gesmade against Constructor Bowles, who is in charge of the Brooklyn Nav}'^ Yard, when acting Secretary Roose¬ velt made public his full approval of the report of Commander C. H. Davis, who made a complete investi¬ gation of all the charges against Mr. Bowles. Not only does Mr. Rose- velt approve of the repoi't exonerat¬ ing Mr, Bowles, but he adds that it was because Mr. Bowles was doing his duty so faithfully and conscieu- ciously that attacks were made upon him by those who wished him to do otherwise.
Comment is heard on all sides on the marked disinclinatiou of all the prominent Democrats to talk for free silver. This has been specially noticeable since silver commenced to decline in price again. Among themselves heretofore ardent Demo¬ cratic silverites have not hesitated to express their admiration for the manner in which Boss Gorman hedged ou the silver question in the Maryland Democratic platform, and there is very little doubt that many of the National Democratic leaders regard free silver plaj'^ed out as a battle cry, and are engaged in hunt¬ ing a new phrase which they can use to bambooze the voters. The death of the free silver craze is also regarded as the end of the candidacy of Bryan. Meanwhile the eountry grows daily more prosperous, and the people know that they owe their returning prosperity to the faithful¬ ness with which PresidentMcKinley and the Republicans in Congress kept the promises made in the last National Republican platform, and knowing it are not likely to pay any serious attention to any new experi¬ ment that may be proposed by the beaten and demoralized Democratic party. A majority of the voters in 1892 trusted the Democratic party to their everlasting sorrow and four years of distress, but they wont do it again.
Before rendering the opinion that Secretary Gage has requested as to whether the 10 per cent discriminat¬ ing duty provided in the Dingley taritt' for goods imported from Canada applied to goods from Japan or other foreign countries in¬ voiced to an Amerfcan port but re¬ ceived at that port over a Canadian railroad. Attorney General McKenna, by request, gave verbal hearings to Ex-Secretary Carlisle, representing the Boston & Maine railroad; Ex- Assistant Secretary Hamlin, repre¬ senting the Board of Trade and the Merchant's Association of Boston, and others, who argued against the discriminating duty being applicable to such goods. Attorney-Genei'al McKenna announced that he would give Messrs. Carlisle and Hamlin until Wednesday to file briefs, after which he would render his opinion as early as possible. Secretary Gage will not make a ruling on the question until he gets the Attorney General's opinion.
The Silent Steed Leads Away From Intemperance.
Doylestown Intelligeucer.
A late report from the Commission¬ er of Internal Revenue notes the decrease in the past year of the con¬ sumption of liquors, as follows : Whiske}^ and spirits, nearly 6.000,- 000 gallons ; beer, 1.403,000 barrels. Some of this is doubtless due to hard times. The liquor sellers so allege, anyhow. A large part of the decrease is due to athletics.
Athletics and liquor-drinking do not agree, and necessarily when the, athletics are popular the drinking habit must stand aside. Of all athletic sjDoi'ts bicycle riding is easily the leader. Hence it seems but reasonable to give the bicycle much of the credit for the decrease of liquor-drinking.
Not only is the money invested in machines largely saved from other amusements—dissipation, perhaps— but the expenditures associated with bicycle riding are not much tributary to the liquor-dealer'still. Thus the first investment and the subsequent enjoyment of wheeling are away from liquor-drinking practices and associations.
The bicycle may have some sins of both omission and commission to answer for, but if its influences and associations are always and neces¬ sarily opposed to liquor-drinking, it is like charity m coveiing a multitude of defects, and it is worth a great deal to the young people who are its principal devotees for its aid in behalf of sound practical temper¬ ance and against both the practice and support of liquor-drinking.

ACTS  OF ASSEMBLY.
Greenwood, N. Y., Burned.
About 8 o'clock Wednesday eve¬ ning a lamp exploded in T. O. Har- rigans barber shop, and before the blaze could be gotten under control the whole interior of the shop was one mass of flames. The citizens realized at once that the blaze was more than ordinary, and unless they acted promptly the entire village would be swallowed up by the flames.
While the majority of the people were fighting the flames others were asking help from the fire depart¬ ments of Canisteo, Hornellsville. Oswayo, Addison and Corning.
The flames rapidly overcame the efforts put forth by the fire fighters and in less tiian two hours" time be¬ tween ^i40,000 and 950.000 damage was done by the flames. From its starting i^lace the fire raged un¬ checked until the law ofiice of Silas Kellogg, Smith's drug stoi'e. Web¬ ster's general store, Costen's gen¬ eral store, Scribner's hardware. Woodard & Young "s general store and J. Goldsmith's residence were consumed, with a greater share of their contents. The loss is I'oughly estimated at §50,000.
When the fire was finally gotten under control at 10:30 o'clock, but two business places remained stand¬ ing and one of these, Shaw & Plai- sted.s hardware store was on fire, but a bucket brigade extinguished the flames and saved the building, with a greater share of the stock.— Elmira Advertiser.

The unusual activity at the Fair grounds and the general interest that is being taken in the exhibition to be held in that city Sept. 6-10 go far to show that the Farmer's Club Fair will be a place to visit with pleasure and profit.

GOOD ADVICE.
It really begins to look as if a solution to the lynching problem had been reached in Kentucky and Georgia. The Governors of these States have advised Sheriffs to fire into mobs that gather to lynch prisoners.—Phila. Press.
