Mrs. Blaine designates the presi-
dent as "the New York dude in the
White House." Now we know just
what Mr. Blaine thinks about him.
A bill prohibiting free passes be-

employes and officers passed the New
York assembly before adjournment-
It is asserted by some and denied
by others that Secretary Chandler
still gives allegiance to Blaine. While

political household others ussest that
in going into the cabinet he signed
away his old friendships.

A treaty of peace Detween Chil-
and Peru has been signed and con-
firmed the disputed provinces by its
terms being ceded by I'eru to Chili
for ten years; and their allegiance
after that period is to be left to a vote
of the people of the provinces. Chili
will be apt to retain them perma-
nently. Gen. Ckook's absence without or-
ders iu the country occupied by the
hostile Apaches if attended with suc-
cess will make him for a time the
military lion of the country. Should
he fail and mishap overtake him it
will be charged to insubordination ; and
his military reputation will accor-
dingly suffer correspondingly.

the late donation of one
ture to the university does not make
quite half its enti re donat ions. Many
years ago the state set aside for the
university over a million acres of
land making the entire donation over
two millions of acres. The first dona-
tion embraces some valuable lands in
thickly settled districts.
In the German army the average
age of the commanding generals is
sixty-seven years while in the army
of the United States generals are re-
tired as soon as they arrive at the age
of 64. The difference is striking. In
Germany the attempt is made to keep
brains in the army as long as possi-
ble and in the United States to give
the largest number of officers a
chance to wear the epaulets.
A scientist by studying the pro-
gressive gain in speed of the Ameri-
can trotting horse and assuming that
-it wfifcntinue at the same ratio ar-
rives at the-eonclusion that in the
year 1901 a speed will have been ob-
tained of a mile in two minutes. lie
also calculates from the same data
that in the year named there will be
10000 horses in the United States
that can trot a mile in 2:30 or under.
These calculatious are curious exam
pies of the application of statistics to
the law of progress but there is no
reason to doubt their approximate
correctness.
San Salvador to keep up the
reputation of the Spanish-American
states is undergoing a revolution.
The nominal excuse for the outbreak
seems to havp been the new project
lor a federal union of all the little re-
publics lying south of Mexico inasmuch-
as the crk-s of the mob express-
. ed a desire that religion should live
and Zaldivar die. Zaldivar is sup-
posed to be in favor of the Central
American union and Barrios of Gua-
temala to whom also death was
wished is thought to be aiming to se-
cure the federal presidency if it is
ever created.
In the extradition treaty recently
made between the United States and
jueigiuni a clause wa3 inserted pro-
it an attempt against the
life of the head of a foreign govern-
ment or against tlu.t of any member
of his family shall not be regarded
as a political offense. If such be the
case regicides will have to be more
circumspect for according to the
treaty should they escape to this
country they can claim no sanctuary
as political offenders but simply rank
as ordinary murderers and as such
can be extradited on demand if the
charge against them be substantiated.
TrtE whisky manufacturers have
hatched a scheme by which they hope
.to avoid for three years longer the
payment of the whisky tax. it is
nothing less than the shipment of
whisky in tank cars similar to those
used for the transportation of oil
across the Canada line and its return
as imported whisky without so much
as unloading it on the Canadian soil
at all. All that is necessary to secure
the success of this brilliant idea is the
co-operation of the treasury depart-
ment in this scheme to keep its coffers
empty. The secretary very gravely
referred the proposition to the attor-
ney general for his opinion.
Mr IIatton who has been run-
ning the biggest' government depart-
ment and who is besides conducting
two stalwart Republiciin organs
comes earnestly to the defence of Sen-
ator Mahcne in his new political as-
sessment in Virginia. He contends
that it is not against the law because
the enactment is not yet in force and
will not be until the 1st of July be-
fore which time the assessment may
be leviei and collected and the money
expended so that the Virginia boss
may snap his finger and ask: "What
are you going to do about it ?" This
is an elevated order of morality and
it is gratifying to know that it has
been announced by a higher officer of
she government.
There is much speculation on the
cool weather of the present spring.
Some contend that it may be similar
to 181t known as a year without a
summer. In that year January and
February were mild April was warm
and cold by turns and May was too
cold for the usual planting. In June
snow fell to the depth of ten inches
in Yermont and to lesser depths in
Maine New York and Massachu-
setts. Farmers who raised any crops
at 11 Lu It fires around their fields to
ketp the vegetation from freezing.
Ice formed in July and August and
ia September there were only a few
j leasant days. No crops were raised
in any of the northern states and pro-
visions were scarce and costly. After
all there may be a most decided ad-
vantage this year in farming insouth-
i in latitudes
HOW ST. LOUIS DOES IT.
The Globe-Democrat mentions that
the merchants of St Louis are al
ready making preparations for receiv
ing and entertaining visitors during
fair week which occurs in October
just before the Austin fair. The pa
per says that aside from the autumn
races and time-honored procession of
the Veiled Prophets it has been
deemed proper mong those whose
aim to control the commercial desti
nies of the city to make a grand
torchlight moving expedtion so as
t give an idea of what industries
have been most cultivated and
of those that have the best likeli
hood of success in the luture. To
this end arrangements are in pro
gress for making the illumination of
the city next October more brilliant
than has ever before been known.
Every illuminating power from elec-
tricity down to the dimmest kind of
gas will be brought into service and
the streets will be made so brilliant
that the spectators will be inclined
thenceforth to forswear the light of
the sun. To make this industrial
pageant the more impressive it is
stated that the city government will
open its cash boxes and spend
money freely in enhancing the
grandeur of the occasion. The
procession mentioned will be
led by a squardron of cavalry main-
tained in the center by a mass of in-
fantry and supported in the rear by
the entire city fire department itself
an immense exhibition. Certainly
we may learn from St. Louis people.
They realize the importance of agreat
annual fair and it is through
their liberality and patronage
that the .St." Louis fairs have
gained such wide reputation. The
citizens of Austin can assist the Capi-
tal State Fair association in doing
for Austin what great annual exhib
its have done for St. Louis. There is
no use saying our fairs cannot be
great ones. They ought soon to be
as great as those of any state
in the union. Texas is des-
tined to be the greatest s ate of the
entire galany and these annual ex-
hibits at her capital ought to be in
turn the greatest displays of their
sort in the entire country. The busi-
nes people of St. Louis take deep in-
terest in their fairand they contribute
money liberally to its success because
they know it induces thousands
of visitors to come to the city and
these come prepared to spend a very
large amount of money amongst busi-
ness men. Such is the condition at
Austin. There is not a business or
industry in Austin that is not bene-
fitted by. these fairs. Benefits may
not be received directly but
they come and all receive
them. Let all deterniineiike the peo-
ple of St. Louis?to aid in making the
coming exhibition and the occasion
a great one and in preparing for
guests a series of entertainments that
will send them back to their homes
determined to spend one week each
fall during the fair in our city. The
directory of the association should con-
sider these side entertainments
and a suggestion coming from it will
go far towards inducing a popular
movement similar to that which pre-
vails in St. Louis. Time is passing
rapidly and now is the season for
conception. Shortly it will be too
late.
TUB FOR THE WHALE.
It is late in the day for the federal
administration to conclude to cut
down the number of officers but it is
stated that the president and Mr.
Folger have decided to reduce the
revenue districts by thirty-four.
That will throw out thirty-four chiefs
and the attendants of those chiefs.
The country hjvs been crying out
against the employment of
over one hundred.thousand officehold-
ers when a great many less would
do but a deaf ear has been for years
turned to the popular protest and
now when the hand writing appears
on the wall popular appeasement is
attempted with at least somewhat
of an acquiesce in what is demanded.
No such cheap bidding will have the
least effect. The Republican party
has been tried for over twenty years
and it is understood to be wholly cor-
rupt and faithless to the people. A
few offices might be abolished
now and were the gov-
ernment to remain in
the hands of Republicans this con-
cession would be speedily followed
with creations that would again in-
crease the army of cormorants that
prey upon the government. The rev-
enue has grown and yet there are not
needed now the same service as form-
erly. Here is the admission of cor-
rupt administration. The motto of
the Republican party has been and
will be: Two officers to do party
work one to do public service.
THE "SJilYEL" SERVICE.
Since Keim has been disposed of
and Lynam substituted for him the
civil service commission has begun
its Jabors such as they are and a
"snivel" service it is going to be. Of
the rules adopted the most important
is that which gives the heads of de-
partments the right of choice for the
four highest candidates on the list for
any vacant office. If the examination
be a real test of merit the highest on the
list must be the best man. If he may
be passed by then the opportunity to
show political favoritism is restricted
but not removed. When such choice
is given it rarely would occur that
a head of a department would lack
the opportunity to fill vacant places
with men of his own way of thinking.
That portion of the rule providing
that the candidates shall not make
known to the commission their po-
litical preferences is about the thin-
nest thing ever presented to public
consideration. The idea of a Repub-
lican body not knowing the political
preference " of applicants is absurd
beyond measure. The political affili-
ations ' of applicants will be made
known to the commissioners in any
number of ways and it is safe to pre-
sume they will know the political
preferences of all applicants. But
the rule to give heads of departments
the right to select between the four
highest candidates answer all politi-
cal purposes. The plan will be not to
grade the four most competent ap-
plicants. The land leaguers on either side of
the Atlantic are not disposed to bow
quietly to the will of the pope in po-
litical matters. The spiritual power
of his holiness as head of the church
is not denied but there is decided op-
position to his attempting to exercise
any temporal jurisdiction over politi
cal troubles affecting Ireland Eccle-
siastical dignitaries should refrain
from interventions in politics and
confine themselves more strictly than
they do to sacred duties. Such at
least seems to be the opinion of
Congressman and Editor Finnerty of
Illinois who in his journal the Citi-
zen resents papal interference by a
denunciatory editorial with the start-
ling headline "Boycot the Pope."
That boycotting as recommended by
Mr. Finnerty to his countrymen is
to cut off th6 pope's supply of Peter's
pence until Popo Leo is brought to
realize that the leaguers can dispense
with his counsel in their present
emergency but would be thankful for
his prayers and benedictions that
their efforts may succeed.
There are 1595800 milch cows in
Canada and its dairy products are
immense. The cows of Texas are im-
mense as to numbers and it dairy
products are yet to be discovered.
Talmage calls it "spice in relig-
ion." Variety it is said is the spice of
life but religion they tell us is not
for life but for death. It is not be-
lieved that sensationalism is very po-
tent in the hereafter.
American royalty will be repre-
sented to-day at Moscow. There will
be present Mackey the bonanza king
Vanderbilt the railroad king and
Bennet the newspaper king. Which
of the cattle kings will be present is
not stated.
The pope has the undoubted right
to instruct the clergy how to con-
duct themselves ecclesiastically but
not politically. Then too the people
listen to political instructions from
the priesthood and obey or not as
they please.
A first-class suggestion is made
bv the Boston Herald. It is that in
return for the "assisted emigrants'
whom England is now sending us
we should send her a few vessels
loaded with Indians who should be
dumped on the docks of Liverpool
supplied with thirty days' rations.
The Apaches would be a good lot to
begin on.
Austria's increase of her military
budget is the most menacing fact
that has recently developed in the
European situation. If any country
has all to gain by peace and nothing
by war it is the semi-bankrupt
Austro-IIungarian empire and there
is something dangerous in the politi-
cal undercurrents if she is increasing
her armaments.
A Chicago real estate firm has com-
pleted the purchase of an immense
tract of land in Mississippi it is sup-
post d for German capitalists. The
transaction includes 1000000 acres in
the cotton belt and 400000 acres in
the pine land section of the state.
The price paid per acre was $1.35 the
total consideration being $1975000.
This immense purchase is only the
first of four such tracts soon t pass
into European hands.
Gov. Cleveland after all appears
to be yielding to the proposition of
the savings banks. He has given his
signature to what is known as the
Mackin bill which permits corpora-
tions to lend money on stocks. This
seems to be a distinction without a
difference for if this bill be liberally
interpreted the New York savings
banks being corporations already
have the privilege of making invest-
ment's which eventually may be ruin-
ous to the depositors.
The burden of the news from Eng-
land continues to point to the disso-
lution of the present parliament with-
in a year. The strange spectacle of
an alliance between the conservatives
and the home rulers is more than met
by the rumored unnatural union of
the conservatives and the extreme
radicals in Mr. Gladstone's following.
The threatened dissolution will not
be due to any marked change in the
sentiment of the country so much as
to the general desire that the life of a
parliament should not greatly exceed
four years.
A fellow in New York is trying
to gain notoriety in the same manner
that Joe Mulhatton got it. lie tells
of a fiery aerolite that fell in a creek
near the village of Accord. It w s
excavated from the stream and cling-
ing to it was found a gigantic two-
edged sword six feet long covered
with strange inscriptions and weigh-
ing more than seventeen pounds. The
enterprising reporter who witnessed
the remarkable occurrence has been
retained to prepare the bulletins con-
cerning Uncle Samuel Tilden's health.
In Oregon the counties issue
licenses to drink at the bars of the
saloons. They cost two dollars and
must be renewed every six months.
A bar-keepe who sells liquor to a
man who is not armed with one of
these licenses (and they are not issued
to habitual drunkards or any man
whose wife or mother objects) lays
himself liable to a fine. The law has
merit in it and it might do in the ab-
sence of something better to make
such a law for Texas. The state
is poor and it is time for the wise
ones to devise means for increasing
its revenues.
Governor Butler of Massa-
chusetts has been interviewed at con-
siderable length -on the political
situation. He is full of opinions of
course and equally of course believes
that the Democrats will have a
sweeping victory next year. It will
be necessary if Governor Butler
knows anything about it. for the
Democrats to put themselves upon
the platform adopted in Massachu-
setts upon which Butler was elected
last falL This is a very shrewd sug-
gestion and necessarily carries with
it the idea that Butler is the only man
who can hope to succeed as presi-
dential candidate.
Virginia under the Mahone re-
gime again 'repudiates. A law was
enacted by the Virginia legislature
providing that coupons of certain
state bonds should be accepted in
payment of state taxes. The Balti-
more and Ohio railway company
owned a large lot of these bonds and
the coupons were offered as settle-
ment of taxes when they
were refused and the prop-!
erty of the company was
seized to be sold In satisfaction of
tax claims. An injunction was
asked and obtained and now the pay-
ment of honest and valid debts by
the state of Virginia is to be enforced
by the federal courts. The humilia-
tions of the grand old state are nu-
merous and great.

UXBR1DLED POWER.
Honesty in public administration
calls for a change in the federal gov
ernment. The Washington machine
employs over one hundred thousand
mon to perform about what fifty
thousand ought to do. These are
scattered from one end of the Union
to the other all belonging
to one party and by the aid
of civil service reform only members
of tnis party will be given places so
lony as it remains in power. On the
fourth of March 1885 the Republican
party will have been in power twenty-four
consecutive years. The
money collected and spent in this
time represents in dollars an enor
mous sum a id no invest!
gation of the books has
ever been made to see that
the balance between receipts and ex
penditures is correct. Had the Dem
ocratic president-elect been inagu-
rated in 1877. the books of the differ
ent departments would have been
thorouehlv overhauled and the
country would to-day know how
many (millions or probably bill
ions of dollars have been
stolen. All those engaged in conduct-
ing the government within this pe
riod have either grown rich or have
spent large sums of money on their
individual accounts. There has been
unheard of corruption and the gov-
ernment has been defrauded out of a
vast amount of revenue. It is
properly urged that no party in a
government like ours should control
the governmental machine for so
long a period of time. There should
be a change of administration ; rota-
tion in office is necessary. A very
large number of Republicans who
are not office seekers have reached
this conclusion and will be found
standing shoulder to shoulder with
the Democrats in the next presi-
dential election. . They are disgusted
with their leaders many of whom
have become corrupt bosses and richly
deserve to be overthrown. What at-
taches to the Republican party in this
respect would attach under the same
conditions to any ether party. With
unbridled power indefinitely ex-
tended the people would be defrauded
under any- circumstances. A co-
temporary in arguing a change of ad-
ministration presents the proneness
of human nature as follows: "Many
bank officers as well as officers of oth
er great corporations who possessed
full confidence of their superiors are
now pavinar the penalty of their
crimes. They were believ
ed to be honest stood high
in the community in which
they resided and some of them
in the church but when the books
were carefully examined they were
found to be rogues and had been rob
bing their employers for a long long
while. Nw we make no particular
charge of corruption against any one
of the hundred thousand Republican
office-holders but by all means let the
whole American people have the ben
efit of an inspection of their books.
RATHER PARTISAN.
At the late meeting of the Army of
the Potomac an address by Major
Martin McGinnis was devoted mainly
to the losses of this army. He said:
"From May 1861 to March 1864
the losses of the Army of the Poto-
mac were in killed 15220; wounded
65850; captured 31378; in all 112448.
From May 1 1864 to April 9 1865
killed 12500; wounded b9o00 captur
ed or missing 28000; aggre-
gate. 110.000. From the be
ginning to the close of the war
killed 27720; wounded 155662;
captured or missing 59378. A grand
aggregate of 242750. Adding those
who died of gunshot wounds the
number of men who lost their lives
in action in the Army of the Potomac
was 48902 probably one-half of all
who died from wounds on the field of
battle in all the armies of the United
States.
This is much below the general
estimate of the losses sustained ly
the federal forces of Virginia dur-
ing the war and there will
be many to question the accu-
racy of the figures given. The most
remarkable feature of the summary
however is the statement that during
the first three years of the war the
number of killed in the army of the
Potomac was only 2720 in excess of
the number of killed during the last.
eleven months of hostilities. This
shows the desperate fighting that
was done by the army of Northern
Virginia and the fearful cost of life
at which Gen. Grant won his final
triumph.
At the recent annual meeting of
the English and Foreign Bible society
some figures were given which show
that the work of circulating the scrip-
tures goes on with unabated zeal.
During the year 1882 the London
bible house distributed 1542413 copies
and the foreign agencies 1422.323
copies making a total of 2964636
copies. Since the society began it3
labors it has distributed no less than
i)&!917639 copies! Colporteurs last
year went into every part of France;
in Austria although they were oppos-
ed they scattered about ten thousand
copies; in both Germany and Russia
they sowed over three hundred
thousand copies. In Egypt the work
was interfered with by the war" but
m eastern Asia the circulation ex-
ceeded that of any previous year.
Facts like these are encouraging for
those who reflect that progress has
always shone upon the countries in
which the teachings of the Bible
have been most widely diffused.
- Richard K. Fox of the Police
Gazette proposes to have decided
who ii the champion boxer of the
world. A boxing tournament is to
be held in New York in September.
In order that all pugilists in England
and America may have an oppor-
tunity to compete Mr. Fox will offer
a valuable trophy which will be
known as the Police Gazette cham-
pionship boxing trophy of the world.
As an inducement to Alf Greenfield
Dick Roberts Jem Goode Tug
AVilson Springall and all the Eng-
lish champion pugilists to cross the
Atlantic and compete for the trophy
Richard K. Fox will offer large
money prizes independent of the
championship trophy so that every
pugilist of any note both in this
country and England will compete.
The ring will not be complete without
Roscoe Conkliig and probably if he
were to enter Piatt might follow.
Conkling once had a match with Jim
Mace in which he was overmatched.
Appropriate Bond.
Waco Examiner.J
The cash balance in the Texas
treasury grows apace. At the close
of business hours yesterday it was
$2750000. Including cash bonds and
other valuable paper the treasurer has
a grand total of f 13.000000 in his
keeping. No wonder Rutabaga J ohn
son thought a larger bond would be
appropriate.

The Outlook in New York.
Baltimore Sun.
The determined stand taken by
iov. Cleveland against boss dictation
has strengthened the party rather
than otherwise. The Republican fac-
tions show but little disposition to
heal their dissensions though urged
to do so by an address from the Re-
publican members of the legislature.
Ex-Senator Uonkling it is known is
still sulking and as long as this is the
case there is but lit tie hope tor either
Republican unity oi success in the
Empire state.
A PiTOtal Point.
I El Paso Hsrald.l
El Paso is to be the pivotal point
in the commercial intercourse of Mex
ico and the United States. In a few
years from now a great part of the
Mexican trade will be controlled by
El Paso merchants. The mineral re
sources of the tributary districts will
also nave some miiuence on the ad-
vancement of the City. ' As for rail
roads they have already worked
wonders here but their work has not
yet fairly begun. Owing to its ad
vantageous situation El Paso will
in time become tne central point ot a
great railway system the branches of
which will take in entire Northern
and Central America.
Women and Men at Home.
rSt. Louis Republican. I
The husband goes away from home
in the morning not returning until
evening l take an average case
All day long he is more or less wor
ried by business. It is he who is to
supply the wood that -the pot may
boiL When he reaches home toward
nightfall it is a haven of rest he
seeks. If he is met by confusion a
delay in dinner and at last invited to
a meal of dishes hastily carelessly
and badly prepared tne table slov-
enly arranged half the things which
are required not there necessitating
a sending of the servant from the
room lor this that and the
other he would have to have
the temper of an angel to year it all
patiently. The wife left at home
has many and annoying demands
made upon her. Servants are stupid
disobedient and impertinent and
what she orders to be done is as often
neglected as attended to. She has her
own affairs which may not and should
not bn set aside. But with all this I
insist that a most important duty far
more important than the dressmaker
hired by the day does not lag over
her work that the girl gets through
with the washing or that "that other
room" is "house-cleaned" is that the
dinner bell rings on the stroke of the
clock. The husband should no
more be annoyed with the little
worries of the household than he
should fill up the evenings in the
family circle by relating in detail the
thousand and one pets of his business
which all combined have sent him
home with his head in a whirl.
Around the dinner table the family
should gather in their very best
spirits. A dinner behind time plays
the old boy with good nature and the
man of the house is not the only one
who is "mad." The wife is in ill hu-
mor for she knows in her heart
she is to blame and over
every one hangs a petulant gloom.
There are disagreeable things
which must be said but the dinner ta-
ble is not the place to say them. I
tell you friends the behind-time din-
ner has much to answer for and I
view with real alarm these excuses of
women for women who throw their
husband's dinners on the table at any
time and anyhow. It is all very well
to be satirical and to say that woman
has higher aims than to boil potatoes
and peel onions but you are sapping
the foundations of home just the
same. The accomplished woman who
sees to her husband's dinner loses not
a jot of her grace or intelligence.
Aid of Machinery to Labor.
Dubuque Trade Journal.i
Labor is a natural burden upon hu-
manity; . yet it is the key which un-
locks the storehouse of wealth con-
venience and luxury. By the use of
invented and applied machinery mus-
cular work is greatly relieved and re-
sults cheaply and extensively . obtain-
ed. In all this however intelligent
skill is not supplanted; but rather
there is a wider field created; for the
same and more and more does it come
in demand as the facilities for produc-
tion multiply. Man of course may
exist as our forefathers did living in
a rude and limited way on the neces-
saries of life and even those secured
at the expense of oppressive toil; but
as improvements are made and va-
ried and enlarged benefits flow there-
from he rises in the scale of being
and the sphere of life is extended.
The easy supply of want in any direc-
tion only begets efforts in others; and
as matters thus progress instead of
the demand for useful industry being
diminished there is more and more
inducement to labor-rs to employ
themselves with the exercise of every
faculty.
It is a mistaken view therefore to
imagine that there is the least ten-
dency in the use of machinery to
supersede the necessity of workmen
and take from them all opportunity
to labor. Their skillful hands dis-
cerning eyes and intelligent brains
are surely destined to find an ever-
widening field. Of course the work-
er must not remain stationary con-
tent to live and die an antiquated fos-
sil while all the world about him is
changing and progressing. What he
once did painfully and slowly with
the hands alone he must now more
abundantly accomplish through the
agency of labor-saving devices and
tools. Society has need ' of more
production and will only be satisfied
with more and more. With its pros
perity and progress the laborer shares;
and to-day he has more of the com-
forts and Luxuries of life than were
enjoyed by kings a hundred years ago.
The prejudice against improvement
and the jealousy against capital and
associations in their efforts to manage
and direct production into more ef-
ficient and beneficial channels should
disappear. As changes occur old
ruts should be promptly abandoned.
By adapting himself to circumstances
as they are thrust upon him there is
not a man who cannot succeed and
find a market for his labor far beyond
his ability to supply.
Bee-keeping is a science and can-
not be acquired in a day. It requires
practical knowledge and can .only be
learned by study and practice.
Much information may be gained by
reading saving one from the many
Eitfalls into which our fathers stum-
led. The greatest trouble is that
each one thinks his an exceptional
case; that he can see just a little far-
ther than his neighbor; that he has
discovered something new; that cer-
tain points were not duly considered
and that this or that was overlooked.
1 never have greater reverence for
the memory of my father than when
looking over the manuscript left by
him calling my attention to many
things whica I must guard against.
Not unfrequently have I been con-
ceited enough simply because the
reason why was not given to think
that I was just a little more capable;
paying the cost in the damages sus-
tained. I can only repeat his advice
to me: "To insure success commence
slowly. Begin with a few colonies ;
increase your bees in a like ratio to
your knowleige. If you can make
money with 4hese it will be safe for
you to invest in more.
Monopoly Begets Monopoly.
iN'ew York World.l
Monopoly is naturally Republican
because the wealth of the county is
mainly in Republican hands and Re-
publicanism has a monopolistic ten-
dency. Perhaps it is hoped that an
every-day familiarity with the mon-
ster's appearance will accustom the
people of the republic to that most
dangerous monopoly of all the mo-
nopoly of centralized power at Wash-
ington which seeks through the aid
of the minor monopolies it creates
and fosters to perpetuate its own
power.
How to Deal With Rats.
A writer in the Scientific American
says: We clean our premises of these
detestable vermin by making white-
wash yellow with copperas and cov-
ering tue stones and rafters with a
thick coat of it. In every crevice
where a rat might tread we put the
crystals of the copperas and scatter
the same in ail corners of the floor the
result was a perfect stampede of rats
and mice. Since that time not a foot-
fall of either rats or mice has been
about the house. Every spring a coat
of yellow wash is given the cellar
as a puifier as well as rat exter
minator and no typhoid dysentery
or lever atcacks the family. Many
persons deliberately attract all the
rats in the neighborhood by leaving
fruits and vegetables uncovered in
the cellar and sometimes even the
soap is left open for their regalement
Cover up everything eatable in the
cellar and pantry and you will soon
starve them out. These precautions
joined to the service of a good cat.
will prove as good a rat exterminator
as the chemist can provide. We
never allow rats to be poisoned in
our dwelling they are so liable to die
between the walls and produce much
annoyance.
Working the Soil.
The soil needs rehningr. opening
loosening before the roots of plants
can penetrate it effectually in search
of their appropriate food. Thorough
tillage breaks up the soil mingles its
particles together in a more homoge
neous mass opens it to the chemical
action of the sunbeam and the atmos-
phere liberates its stores of plant
rood and thus its iertiiizing capacity
is greatly enhanced without the appli
cation ot a single particle or manure
more than the soil itself possesses.
Tillage therefore is a powerful and
important source of fertilization. In
other words the farmer may greatly
enhance the producing capacity of
his land simply by good and thorough
cultivation: so that cultivation is
manure or may be made to take the
place or manure. This is an impor-
portant fact for when the farmer is
short of manuers he may by cultivat
ing his land in a more complete and
perfect manner than has been his
wont supply to his crop enough ot
the elements of vegetable food to
yield paying returns. This however
is only true on the supposition that
the soil has not been thoroughly
worked before. It was once thought
tnat thorough tuiage would contmue
to take the place of fertilizers inde
finitely without the application of
any toreign sources ot Iertuization
but thisas ought to have been known
irom the hrst is a mistake. Tiuage
does not create iertinty. it only un
locks the sources of it already exist-
ing in the soil and as there is a limit
to these in any soil of course there
must come a time when under this
process the supply weuld be exhaust
ed. It is true that a mellow soil un-
der cultivation is constantly receiv
ing fresh'supplies of certain elements
from the atmoSi -here and if a soil is
allowed to rest it will gain fertility
without artificial aid. The process
however is too slow for practical
purposes lhe farmer generally can
not afford to wait so long and must
go on cultivating although the
strength of the land is constantly di
minished.
This then is the chief end of culti
vation to supply plant food to the
crop. . The more thoroughly this
work 13 done the more nourishment
the plant will find and the greater
will be the yield. Tillage yields im
mediate returns; manure both imme
diate and tuture. The two together
pay from the start and pay better the
longer they are followed. When
there is little or no manure the til
lage must be better or there Will be a
tailing on in the crop; and when ma
nure is abundant the farmer need not
cultivate so assiduously and closely
to secure a paying harvest. Tillage
is always necessary; manure always
beneticial. Crops may be grown on
fair land without manure but never
to perfection without tillage and the
more thorough and exhaustive the
tillage is the less necessity will there
be tor applying fertilizers or -course
the cultivation must always be of the
right sort sensible judiciously time-
ly; it must leave the soil fine mellow
porous so that the sunbeam and the
air can freely act upon it and impart
to it the life and vitality necessary to
sprout the germ and teed the root. A
great deal ot so-called tillage is no
tillage at all. So far as the best re-
sults go the farmer might as well be
playmg lootbau witnia twenty-pound
rock. But there has been of late a
manifest and rapid improvement in
the modes of tillage. Farmers are
learning that it pays better than buy
ing fertilizers to put on land that is
never worked. Rural Messenger.
Wealth In Cattle.
It is estimated that the annual cat
tle sales in the United States amount
to about $300000000. This wealth
has 4een greatly increased by the
large augmentation of thoroughbred
cattle. The American iierd nook.
has been extended to twenty-three
volumes. These volumes are occu
pied with the record and pedigree of
70000 cows and 47oou bulls and an ot
one class viz ; Durhams or .short
horns. The best beef which finds its
wav to market is that of graded Dur
ham cattle. The Agricultural Re
view makes this comment : One not
intimate with the subject might sup
pose that with such an array in num-
bers of our shorthorns the prices of
them would gradually diminish at
both the public and private sales
now so frequent and in
such large numbers in our
states but such -however.
is not the fact; average sales are now
equal in prices at which they have
ever been. During the last five years
the public sales have annually aver
aged AMJ animals bulls cows and
heifers at an average price of $162
per head while probably an equal
number have been sold at private
sales and at somewhat higher prices.
Many of them have sold for $1000 and
up to even $10000 each so esteemed
for pedigree and quality are they by
our enterprising breeders. Much
higher prices indeed have been ob-
tained in some years past even as
high as $25000 and upwards for single
animals from eminent English breed-
ers who have come here after them;
but that was in a time of high excite-
ment in shorthorn rivalry and need
be noted only as one of the ex-
traordinary fluctuations in the pro-
gress. The unfamiliar reader may
ask: Where is the great demand for
these cattle ? Where is the market
for the several thousand bulls annu-
ally produced? The question is read-
ily answered. Untold herds of cattle
by hundreds of thousands roam over
the broad ranches of Texas New
Mexico Colorado and California of
the descendants of the orignal Spanish
importation into Mexico from Spain
in the sixteenth century Ranging
over the vast plains and pampas of
that mild climate they increased muU
titudinously. Texas became full of
them New Mexico also; and since
the incorporation of these coun-
tries with ours uncouth and ragged
as they were in their wild
condition these cattle have been
brought under the subjection of civil
ized stockmen arranged into herds
branded with the marks of their own-
ers and at marketable age .driven
through the Indian Territory into
Kansas and thence to Missouri- and
Chicago markets either for imme-
diate slaughter as their conditions
would afford or sold to the graziers
and feeders for a better market east-
ward. These wild cattle are unfit for
cooice beef but the cows. ithaI n
their ranches by shortrhoru bulls pro
mise loieraoiy goou steers partaking
strongly of the blood and forms of
tDeir sires and become marketable
animals with good pasturage and
grain topping-off in the hands of the
corn-growing graziers who purchased
lhe grading up of cattle in the
west and southwest has been goiDg
on rapidly within the last ten years.
It would be difficult to decide whether
Illinois or Kentucky is the center of
the shorthorn breeding interest in
this country. The center wherever
it may be is a moveable one. The
lexan steer that is the original long-
horned half-wild animal is raDidlv
disappearing. Droves of these cat-
tle are now rarely seen. They have
been displaced by better ones. New

Small Farms.
Small farms are coming more into
fashion every year down south and
this is a good sign. We find the Sa
vannah News saying to its readers
that small farms mean a wider distri
bution of the wealth of the country
and consequently more contentment
and happiness among the people. The
long list ot advantages mentioned in
addition to this feature is almost up
to tne danger line or tancy; but the
subject is after all- not too highly
drawn by the News and it is a health-
ful indication" that its readers are pr -pared
to profit by good advice on this
subject. No section has more clearly
demonstrated the advisability of
farming on small tracts than the
neighborhood of Savannah where
truck farms abound and vield in the
aggregate a handsome return. The
people of the cotton states have been
slow to break up their large pos-
sessions as was naturally to- have
been expected but tne change is ap-
parently in process now and will
eventually gain full swing. Nash-

Washington May 26. Some time
previous to the institution of proceed-
ings for his divorce Major Nickerson
applied to the war department for an
attested record of his military ser-
vices. He assigned as a reason for
preferring this request his purposed
going abroad and expected to visit
Egypt to witness the military
operations there incident to
the war then in progress be-
tween the English government and the
khedive. As he was not a graduate
of West Point he desired to use as
credentials an attested copy of his
military record. Although contrary
to precedent the department acceed-
ed to his request. The papers were
prepared in 'he adjutant general's of-
fice signed by Secretary Lincoln and
attested with the seal of the depart
ment. Major Nickerson did not go
abroad but it now transpires the pa-
pers were used on the trial for di
vorce to establish the high standing
and record of plaintiff in the suit.

Mount Sterling. Ky.. May 26.
For ten days past there have been
confined in jail here John Barrett and
ten companions who are known
throughout this section as the Bar
rett gang and are charged with mur-
der arson and various other crimes
and are regarded as a band of despe-
radoes. The feeling against these
men is very strong and early yester
day morning a party of one hundred
or more horsemen appeared be
fore the jail which was be
ing guarded bv City Marshal
T'uncie and a posse and demanded
admittance. This was refused and
the mob advanced upon the jail
whereupon the guard opened lire
Several shots were exchanged and the
leader ot the mob and several others
wounded. Alarm bells were rang
and the Cerre Gordo Guards and many
citizens were soon on the spot. When
the mob dispersed examination show
ed that the wounded leiuler who
was lying on the steps of
the jaiL badly wounded was
J. Ringo sheriff of Menifee county
Thomas Clark a wealthy farmer of
this county and two or three others
of the mob were wounded. Ringo
justifies himself in acting as leader of
the mob bv savmsr that .Barren and
his gang are a band of bushwhackers
and guilty of almost all crimes but
whom it has been impossible for the
courts to convict and many of the
best citizens had determined to take
the law in their own hands and pun
ish the desperate men as they deserv
ed. It was intended by the mob to
hang Barrett and several of the gang.
Ringo is badly wounded and will
probably die.

overtures. Adopted.
Overture from Cayuga presbytery
recommending that the Presbyterian
Historical society and general synods
and presbyteries take measures best
to observe the four hundredth anni-
versary of the biith of Martin
Luther.
An overture from Nebraska Pres-
bytery was adopted asking President
Arthur and Secretary Lincoln to
grant a petition from 150 Presbyte-
rian members for Chief Joseph of
the band of Nez Perces Indians in the
Indian territory to return to the Nez
Perces Indian reservation in Idaho.
Rev. Geo. L. Spinning made an ad-
dress in scathing terms on the in-
justice of the United States to the
Nez Perces tribe that never took a
white scalp and never used their arms
till driven from their land in vio-
lation of the treaty.
An overture was presented from
several Presbyteries regarding the
Indian policy of the government and
recommending that citizenship be
conferred en all whb ask lands held in
severalty or in tribes kept from
territory and reservation and kept in
inviolable faith with them in every
respect. Rev. Dr. Johnson explained
that this was in unison with action of
the Episcopal general convention and
Methodist general conference. On
motion of Howard Crosby it was re-
ferred bock to the committee. An
