SENATOR ,SIIERNANS NOTION
TIE INCONE Tx

IT Is to be hoped that the vote of the Senate
on Wednesday, in refusing Mr. Sherman s
request to proceed with the consideration of
the income tax, may be taken as the sense of
the Senate on that important measure. The
press and people of all sections of our coun-
try, from tho far-of Pacific to the Atlantic
coast, are almost unanimously opposed to the
re-enactment of this most unjust, unequal
inquisitorial, and unnecessary tax. Il is O
popular belief that has hitherto been gene
rally entertained that the sense of the Ameri-
can people dictates its laws. If this be true
and we cannot see why, under our form of
no doubt as TO the action of Congress upon
this question. AS a war measure, supposed
to be necessary to maintain the national
integrity, people were willing to endure its
burdens; but neither the men that framed
the law, nor the people who are affected by
it, ever expected it to be continued in time
of profound peace and prosperity.
There has been perhaps no measure for
many years that has commanded so undivided
an expression Of opinion from men Of all par
ties as this.
Shall the voice of the American people be
heard on it or shall the bidding of power be
more potent than the voice of the people
Up TO this time there has been no attempt to
make party question of it, but should the
Republican party run so counter to popular
opinion as to re-enact this most unpopular
law, the consequences, we feel sure, will be
very serious to it. No party can make great
mistake In this country which takes the
second sober thought of the people, almost
unanimously expressed, as its guide.
We are glad to learn that the President is
sound on this question, and we hope the
Representatives in Congress will not MIS-
represent the wishes of the people.
The law is dead by its own restrictions and
limitations. Let its sleep be eternal.
Since the above was in type the modi-
fed bill of Senator Sherman, much to
the regret of the public, has passed the
Senate. All eyes are now turned to the House
of Representatives. Let it do its duty to the
people, and strangle the monster which Mr..
Sherman desires shall lift its horrid head for
another year.

The Speaker of the English Commons.

RUMoR comes to us by the cable that the present
Speaker of the English House of Commons Will
retire. to be succeeded, probably by the Right
Hon. Edward Cardwel, at present Secretary of War.
The Right Hon. John Evelyn Denison, who has been
Speaker Of the House OF Commons since 1857, was
born in the year 1900, and was educated at Eton
and at Christ Church, oxford, where he was the
contemporary and friend of many who afterwards
became celebrated in the political world, and where
he graduated Il. A. i'll 1923. In the same year he
was returned to Parliament for the borough of New
castle-under-Iyme, and in 1924, in company with
the present Earl Of Derby, Lord Taunton, and the
late Lord WharnClife, went a protraCted tour
through Canada and the United States. On the for
nation OF Mr.. Cannines administration, Mr.. Deni-
son was appointed one of the Lords OF the Admit
rally. AT this time the struggle of parties was very
fierce, as the Roman Catholic Emancipation ques-
ton agtated the political world. Mr.. Denson uni
formly supported concessions TO the claims of the
Roman Catholics. Mr. Cannings death led to
considerable alteration in the state OF political
parties and among others, it affected Mr.. Dennson.

responsibilities Of an Official position, did not again
hold office, though several administrations sought
his services In 1880 he returned for the borough
OF Hastings In 1881, after the death OF Mr. Husks-
son. he was invited to stand for Liverpool, and at
the general election OF 1881 he was returned for
that borough and for the county OF Nottingham,
choosing to sit for the latter During two Paria-
ments he represented the borough OF Nation, and in
1857 he was returned for the North division OF Notts
Mr.. Denson took an active part in the conduct OF
the private business of the House; and on the re-
tirement of Mr.. Shaw Lefevre in 1851, was unan-
mossy chosen Speaker, being again unanimously
elected in 1852 1866 and in 1885, In 1927 Mr. Deni-
son married the third daughter Of the fourth Duke
of Portland. AS Speaker OF the House of Commons,
Mr.. Dennison ranks as the first Commoner, and
takes precedence next after barons. His emelument
consists OF furnished house in the New Palace OF
Westminster, and salary OF e50OO year.

GOOD-BY, ANDY,

ANDREW JOHNSON, x-President-happily ex-
of the United States, is about to make trip
to Europe, with the intention of being absent
from his native shores for the brief period of
six months. If Andrew should find the
climate on the other side of the water to agree
with his health, and should conclude to aban-
don us forever, it is possible that we may be
able to find consolation in the remembrance
of his eminent public services and his many
virtues. In Europe Mr.. Johnson will find
several monarchs out of business and quite
number of princes waiting for something to
turn up, and by explaining to these the intri-
cacies of "my policy" he may confer at once
eminent personal services and advance the
cause of humanity and liberty
by inspiring them with some fresh
ideas on the subject of absolutism as
viewed from the standpoint of an ex-
President of the United States who has passed
through the ordeal of an impeachment trial.
Our advice, however, to Mr.. johnson would
be for him to offer himself as a candidate for
the throne of Spain. The Spaniards are no
nearer the establishment of a permanent
government than they were when they exiled
lSaDela IL, anu our opinion is strengthened
every day that they only need a practical
American politician to undertake the manage
ment of their affairs and reduce things to a
system for them. Andrew Johnson is the
man of all men to WELD the sceptre of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella, and ''my policy" although
found to be inapplicable to the exigencies of
the situation in the United States, would
probably suit Spain exactly, as what that
country needs most at present is somebody
with a policy of some kind, and plenty of
courage and determination to enforce it.
With Andrew the First upon the throne of
Spain, we would hear no more of the French
Emperor attempting to dictate or to meddle
with the affairs of the peninsula; while If
Prim and other Spaniards with axes to grind
should attempt to oppose him, he would point

Pigs on Grain Farms.

On farms where much grain is
grown and only few cows are kept,
il is usually not profitable to keep a
large stock of pigs. The common
Mistake made, however, is not in
koeping too many, but i'll not feeding
them literally. AS rule, tie pigs
ars kept on short allowance until they
are shut up to fatten, after the corn
is ripe, although there can be no
doabt that a bushel of corn fed to
aigs while or clover during the Sum
iner. will produce double or treble as
,nnch pork as bushel of new corn
fed in cool weather in the Autumn
when the pigs have nothing but corn.
A few Fall pigs can be kept in the
yards during the Winter, to good
advantage, especially if the cattle are
led grain. But it is a great mistake
to stint your pigs through the Win,
ter, although it must be confessed
that it is very common one. The
sows ard any Spring pigs that may
be wintercd over, will pick up the

ones, yet it is not difficult matter to
make hole in one Of the sides of the
pens that win admit the young pigs
through and exclude the large ores
And in this way the young pigs can
be fed more and better food. This
is a very important point. The
youns pigs should be kept growing
rapidly through the Winter and
Spring months. They should be in
condition that most farmers would
pronounce ''too fat" Young, we'll

New York market. And the whole
secret of the matter-it secret it is
was in feeding the young pigs liber-
ally through the Winter.
Few things would pay a grain
growing farmer better than to raise
peas for his pigs. No matter how
''buggy" the peas may be, the bugs
or beetles remain in the peas until
about the first Of November; and
when the peas are fed out before this
time, the pigs will eat peas and bugs
together, and there will be little loss.

and lard than peas, and the manure
from pea fed pigs is exceedingly rich.

ed, and fed green TO the pigs, and a
daily allowance may be fed until the
peas are fully ,ipe. In fact, many
farmers feed all their peas to the pigs
without threshing. But this is
wastetul plan. When the peas are
ripe, pigs will do better on them cook
ed, or at least soaked in water 9 hours
before feeding. And in addition to
this advantage, pea straw, when well
cured and carefully harvested, is
ne arIy as good for sheep as clover hay,
and certainly will much more than pay
the expense of threshing. A large
farmer in Michigan who has made
himself and his farm rich, attributes

large quantity of peas every year and

the peas and cooks them, but does

is better and cheaper than grinding.

GREENING P1cKLEs.-It is said
that fruit and vegetables may be
made to retain their green color by
digesting for some time in boiling salt
water After removing the latter,
vinegar should be poured over them
while boiling hot, removed the third
day, boiled and poured on again.
The repetition of this process a few
times produces a dark green color
not dangerous like the ordinary YER
digris.

The Farmers Security.

The high prizes Of lite are not off
cred to the farmer-not one in a
thousand acquires prlncely fortune
by the cultivation OF soil. This is so
well understood by sh'ewd men, who
evil be RICH" that almost every man
of them avoids farming, as by instinct.
But there is another side to this sub
ject, which is full of interest and in
struction.
Almost every farmer who has av-
erage health and industry, acqnires
competence and an independence.
Four out of five families will furnish
proof of the assertion, that men, be-
ginning with nothing but vigorous
industry, and an unsulied name, have,
within the last 90 years, risen to the
possession of comfort and abundance.
The exceptions to this remark are
few, and can be accounted for on
the most obvious principles. Now
set down against this fact. which the
last 80 years has developed, namely,
that nine out of ten of all who en-
gage in trade fail in business, and
farmers have abundant reason to fe-
licitate themselves on their position
and its blessing.
Where the farmer exercises care
and prudence, aud does not 90 out
Of his business to make money, he
is quite beyond the reach of bankrupt.

count of agriculture for where farm
ers have kept aloot from these, they
avoided those entanglements which
have been the "lions net" to so many
men.
We invite the attention of our
young men to these facts. They are
worthy of the most thoughtful reflec-
ton. Other professions are always
