Look 60 your stables,

In this piping cold weather, good husband
man will not only have his thoughts about
him as to the comfort of the human beings
dependent upon him in the house, but he will
also be merciful to the dumb and needy crea-
lures in his stable. This should be so tight as
to exclude all noticeable currents of cold air.
His horse should be covered with good
blanket adjusted and confined to the body so
as not to fall off, and we are not sure that the
same protection for his milch cows would not
be equally merciful and beneficial. 1t is well
known that animals which are well sheltered
and kept warm, will not eat so much as those
which are Suffered to stand in the cold; anu
the saving of food in the course of single
winter will more than pay for these simple
means of keeping them warm. Some persons
neglect to clean out their stables daily In
cold weather large masses collect, which are
not only offensive and unhealthv-for animals
need sweet air-but they render it difficult for
the animals to lie down upon the frozen ma
nure without pain. In cold weather, if horses
and cattle stand in their stables, they should
have their droppings removed twice day.
night and morning This will afford them
smooth surface to repose upon, besides pre-
venting large accumulation by freezing. No
stable, however, should be allowed to freeze
manure hard upon the coolest winter nights
This may be prevented by having the apart
ment assigned to the stalls under the stable
an apartment sufficiently dug out on one side
for this purpose with southern aspect, or by
having 1t on the main floor directly above a
warm barn cellar. In this case the floor will

The New York Herald has returned to
its old and chronic habit Of perpetrating
sensational editorials about the overthrow
of the Government. If we are to believe
this journal, then we are on the very verge
of destruction, and liberty and republican,
ism IN America will soon be among the
things that were. We may get ready to
write upon all our cherished institutions
"Ichabod." All will 20 to smash except
the New York Herald. This sheet will
doubtless keep in the even tenor (?) of its
way, and Mr.. BENNETT will continue to die
tate articles from Washington Heights, and
and will either sing the praises Of Mr..
JOHNSON, the dictator" or Of Congress,
who will rule the land by and through mil
itary SatrapS. In his Saturdays issue he
presents us the alternative Of "despotism
or anarchy" If the greatest and most
reliable newspaper in the world" be true
prophet, we may well take up the lamen,
tation, "Alas! poor country" Fortunately
for the country the periodical lunacy oI
the Herald, which is always manifest or
the eve of Presidential election, does moi
alarm anybody. If these rawlings do old
Mr.. bennett any good he should be in
dulged to the top of his bent, as such dia.
tribes do the country no harm.

SHALL UNITED STATES BONDS
BE TAXED?

Ihls question Is beginning 10 attract
considerable attention, and II is not at al
surprising that IL should elicit much at
tention. Senator WADE, on the stump the
other day, made speech which is being
criticised with good deal Of severity. He
denounced in unmeasured terms Of censure
the Democratic proposition to break faith
with the public creditor, by issuing green
backs in payment Of gold.bearing bonds
but he avows himself in favor Of subject
ing Government bonds to taxation. Mr.
WADE did not deny that the present hold.
ers were entitled to exemption, but in re-
gard to the future he said "if money mat
ters become easier, SO that we can take up
these bonds and issue others, subject to
State taxation, shall be in favor of it.
and SO will other Republican members"
This is significant declaration, and
shows that the Republican party will Ger.
tainly take ground in favor Of State taxa
ton at least. This doctrine is reasonable
-sound-and should be and will be adopt.
ed at no distant day. The State Auditor
Of Ohio is understood to agree with Mr..
WADE upon this question.
Several influential Republican journals
in different parts Of the country are advo-
eating this view. Among these journals,
we may name the Chicago Tribune, Pro
vidence Journal, and the New York
Times. Every one must be convinced
that country situated as ours now is in
its financial condition, with q heavy burden
in the shape Of q tremendous public debt
cannot quietly rest under the excessive
taxation which has to be resorted to to NEE
the accruing interest upon the nationa
debt, and to provide ways and means fol
the current expenditures Of the Govern
ment, and long leave out Of the account
thousands Of millions of taxable wealth
The people who meet the tax collector
everywhere, demanding revenue from every
description Of property, save those bonds,
will not long rest quietly and consent to
this enormous taxation while the million
aire reposes in ease and placidly receives
his interest upon his gold-bearing or cur
rency paying bonds.
Whatever excuse might have been for
this exemption during the war, when the
Government was in pressing need Of
money, that time has gone by, and the old
issues should be called in as soon as pos.
sible and replaced by others that may be
taxed by the federal Government.
In our Judgment, the politicians or the
party that oppose this measure of taxing
the Government securities will be left be-
hind. The people will emphatically de-
mand new issues Of stock and equal taxa
ton. Nothing else will do. Nothing else
will save us from repudiation. 1t may be
objected that measure such as we here
propose would violate existing contracts
We do not advocate any such doctrine
The process Of consolidation must be com
menced soon, and this will give the op
portunity to make the new issues taxable
