THE PROSPECT AT SAMANd.

Private advices from the West Indies warn
us of a new movement of the insurgents in
Santo Domingo which may prove serious not
only to President Baez, but to the infant
colony of SANTANA. The two. revolutionary
chieftains, Cabral and LuperOn, have hitherto
maintained hostile attitude toward each
other, as we'll as toward the common enemy,
and concerted opposition to Baez has con-
sequently been impossible. 1t is said, by the
friends of Cabral that the principal cause of
disagreement was the anxiety of Luperon to
fetaliate for the cruelties inflicted by Baez
upon his prisoners. But Cabral aas recently
lost two of his best officers and party of
twenty-five men, who were surprised and PIT
to death by the Dominican troops, and this
circumstance has doubtless disposed him to
carry on the war hereafter upon the same
savage policy that has been pursued by the
less civilized Luper6n. The conviction also
that the Samana treaty threatens to give Baez
new hold upon the sovereign poyer has
doubtless stimulated the activity of his 6D.
ponents. AT any rate, the two chieftains
have arranged conference at Port-au-
Prince, and it is their intention (proba-
bly, with the assistance of the Haytian
GOyernmenD TO begin vigorous and united
campaign. While,the insurgents will have in
his movement certain advantages which they
rave hitherto lacked, il must not be forgotten

Secretary Boutwell, is not fortunate in his
promises concerning a reduction of the public
debt. The 1st of January statement showed
an increase of S1,6S49O7; but this was held to
be nominal rather than a real addition, as
the large amount of $3,0O0,0OO or $4OOOOOO
was reported collected but not covered
into the Treasury. Even with this un-
counted balance from January, however the
statement for the 1st February also exhibits
au increase of the public debt This time the
unwelcOme balance on the wrong side is
charged to disbursements on account of Pa
ciic Railroad bond interest, and for the Wash
ingtOn Public Works. 1t seems as though
such ordinary demands on the Treasury ought
to have been anticipated but the result only
shows that it is not safe to make predictions,
even by Secretary of the Treasury, concern
ing the financial income and OutgOes Of the
Government.

1t is a little curious that most Of the In
dian agents have not been in the habit of
keeping systematic accounts and that the
records, contracts, vouchers, etc, relating to
the vast expenditures in the Indian service
are sealed from public inspection. This being
the fact, the notorious corruption in Indian
affairs becomes less surprising. A good move
has been made in Congress by declaring all
these matters to be of public record.

thousand people got together to see Mr.. Bowling go

arrive to carry him off, but unfortunately the

Senator Pomeroy asks suspension of pub
lie opinion in his case, and informs an Atcm-
son journal that he will defer any explanation
of the charges against him until he appears
in court to- answer. Meantime, he is
journeying eastward, having reached Cm-
cago, probably on his way to Washing
ton. IL is hard to imagine what pos
sible defense Mr.. Pomeroy can MAKE
in view of the singularly explicit and solemn
declarations of Senator York. Certainly the
newspaper reports of Mr.. Pomeroy's dreadtui
downfall, some of which we reproduce else
where, do not leavel much room for doubt as
TO his guilt; and the whole transaction is so
entirely in keeping with his reputation uaV
the only matter for surprise is that be was

mysterious disappearance of a whole family Is
reported from Madison, Wis. There lived there a
prosperous farmer named Gladly and he is missing
with his wife and two daughters. NeighbOrs, on
going to the house. found the stock nearly starved
but of the family no trace was to be discovered.
The fact that the farmer kept sum of 81 500 in the
house may have something to do with the matter
and if so, it only affords another instance of the
folly which people commit who, living in isolated
situations, keep considerable quantities of cash by
them.

One would suppose. to read of the doings OF
the Wilson Credit Mobilier Committee, that 1t
was investigating not to find out. On Satur-
day, for instance, DR.. Durant who appeared
to be in a cynical frame of mind, testified
that at one time Congressman came to him
to sell his vote-which he virtuously refused
to buy; also, that at another time four Con-
gressmen approached him to drive bargain
for "twenty lone or forty votes" in Congress,
which they assumed to control. Yet not a
member of the Committee which represents
the House of Representatives even asked who
these Congressman were! And this is an in
vestigating committee! When Mr.. j. B. Stew
art was on the stand, the other day, he was
harried with all sorts of questions about vari-
Gus people; but the Committee do not seem to
want to hear anything more about buying
votes in the House.

Save Your Labor.

Labor is its equivalent and should be
80 considered on the farm rs well rs in
the workshop. The farmer who per-
forms his own work, needs to cconomize
his force as much rs though he was hir-
ing. If an hour is lost it should be
counted at its value. When we say m
hour lost, We do not mean by absence or
idlencss alone but have reference to any
occasion. If ten hours arc Consumed in
performing work which, with better tools,
could have been performed in nine, the
hour is lost, provided that the extra ex-
pensc Of tools did not exceed its value,
and this should be considered solely by
estimating the time Mt its full value.
If ten hours are consumed in perform.
ing the work of eight for lack of system
or by mismanagement, a loss Of twenty
per cent is experienced.
If you employ ten laborers Mt S1.00
per day to perform the work which two
men at $500 each would perform (and
this we have often and continually seen)
one-half the expenditure is thrown away.
In the South, especially, is the value
of labor two carclessly estimated. We
have heard hundreds of farmers object
to labor-saving machinery and for the
reason that they had the negroes en-
ployed anyhow, and they must keep them
Mt work; never considering that there
is always work upon the plantations
which might receive attention if time
could be foucd for it. These same plant
ers nre continually grunbling about the
unreliability of labor when they could
do much to control it if they would in
vest a little more in machinery and
double the product of each hand thereby
rendering themselves ia, more indcpend-
ent by employing half the number. Or
if one half or one fourth the time could
be saved, it might we'll be devoted to the
collection of fertilizing material or to
other improvements, and we should not
see SO many farmers going to the wall as
We can see in all directions at the present
time. Farmers need 10 use figures more.
An application of the few simple rules Of
arithmetic would make farming "pay"
where now there is loud complaint of
loss.-AMERIcAN FARMERS ADVOCATE.
