EVEN so reckless a politician as Senator
Carpenter sees that he has made muss of
it in championing bill which is called the
"press gag measure. In his explanation in
the New York Times he says the bill was
merely introduced by him and referred to the
judiciary Committee that it might be per
fected, and that the next day it was reported
back with the Objectionable section inserted
over which the discussion took place. 1t
was claimed by good lawyers that this section
as drawn was not limited to what was clearly
lbelous, but that it would enable senator,
or other public man, 10 begin an action for
libel upon any article he did not like, and
compel editors to go to Washington for trial
and that it was hoped that such power would
largely restrict newspaper criticism of public
men. On the other hand, Mr.. Carpenter as
serts that the section could have no such
effect and that no such effect was ever in
tended.

IT is alleged that majority of the Supreme
Court ofthe United States are opposed to
the ''vested rights doctrine of the Dart
mouth College decision, holding that rights
of property intere in the person as distinct
from he corporation. The authority for this
allegation is not given, and as no case is now
before the Supreme Bench involving this
doctrine it is difficult to understand how any
justice was led to express an opinion. The
probabilities are that the opinions of the
Court will have to be classed among .'those
things which no Teller can find out" until a
test case arises. 3a

THE reduced cost to coffee drinkers conse
quent on placing coffee on the free list is just
beginning to be appreciated. Two years ago
there happened to be a ''corner" in coffee,
the bulk of that commodity being controlled
by spectators in Rotterdam. People here
were told that the crop was short. Within
few months the corner has been broken
down, and a considerable fall in prices has
followed. The relief given by Congress, de.
cided as nugatory year ago, now shows it

THE more we become acquainted with the
new postal law, the more Objectionable it ap-
pears. On weekly papers in single wrappers
the postage is one cent copy, instead Of five
cents quarterly as at present. This imposes
an additional tax of tbirty-two cents a year
upon weekly paper taken in a single wrap
per, and prepayment in these cases is also
required. 1t must require a good deal
of stupidity, indeed a genius in that direc-
ton, to devise sllier measures.

SECRETARY pR,srow,s REFORM

SECRETARY BRIsTow's REFORM
Each bureau in the Treasury department has
received instructions to conform its force with
the utmost exactness, to the laws which have
just been passed, and in no case to exceed the
appropriation for clerical force. Heretofore
many devices have been resorted to to make
positions for favored candidates by cunning
twIstings of the law. Secretary Bristow has
given the heads of bureaus to understand that
everything in the department must conform to
the exact letter of the law, and in no degree
violate its spirit. In a case when the force for
any bureau has been so limit d by appropria-
tions fixing the force, as not to allow of work
being done in the present number of working
hours, the time for work must be so increased
as to make full and prompt performance of the
work possible

Mr.. Mulleut is actively engaged in arranging
work on all the public buildings for the sum-

sible force he can use to advantage, and his
purpose is to push all of them with the utmost
rapidity compatible with the character of the
work TO be done. Hereafter, under ruling Of
the secretary, no contracts for stone cutting
will be let without opening the matter to full
competition by advertising.

A LITTLE SCARE IN RELATION TO INDIAN AT
FAIRS.
Reports received at the headquarters of the
army from almost every section of the Indian
country show that large bodies of savages, we'll

of the most approved fixed ammunition, are
roaming at will over the Western plains and,
every now and then, making combined move

fighters say the indications are that there will
be serious trouble in the Indian country before
the summer is over; that Indians both north

act together in any movement that may be de-

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known

vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which

Oiher remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
tion probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and il taken freely by
consumptiye patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-

Bran and Corn Meal for Cows.

1t is well settled in the opinion of all our
best dairymen that bran greatly promotes
the milk secretion in cows, and it is fed
almost universally. About equally mixed
with corn and meal is the usual proportion.
This mixture seems to promote both guam
tity and quality of milk From several
sources we hear that buckwheat bran is
great producer of milk, and it is being
used considerably among our Chester coun ;,
ty dairymen, in about the same proportion
as the other. Thomas Gawthrop, near
West Grove, Chester county, also by re.
peated trials with his own COWS, has fully
satisfied himself that they 10 as we'll with
corn and cob meal and bran as with pure
corn meal and bran. The amount ofnutri-

this result will have to be explained on the
supposition of the ground cob acting to
promote digestion by distending the stom-

Horses for Farm Work.

4 writer in the Mark Lane Erpress giyas
the following as the desirable points rs
consideration in the breeding of horses for
farm work
"Ihe head should be comcly, but not so
small as that of the running horse, as it en-
ables the animal to throw more weight in
the collar. He should be broad and flat in
the forehead, have neat, well set on ears.
prominent placed eyes, thin eyelids, large
nostrils, neat neck and be deep towards the
chest; not very high in the withers, with up
right shoulders, broad forearm, broad, fiat
bone below the knee, rather short pasterns,
goodround feet not too flat or too upripbt%
plenty ofhoof, clean leg, straight back, W.T.
plenty of loins, and ribs well arched He
should be long on the back rib and long
in the quarter; the haunch should be
strong, the hip well down, the hook joint
broad; and for breeder, no animal should
be used that is not free from curb, bog or
bone SPAWN, splnt or side bones. HOE n

SIMPLE TIMBER PREsERvATIyE.-To
render posts or timber, placed in thee
ground, practically impcrvious to moistures
and for long time pre- vent decay, the fol-A
lowing simple recipe has been tiled and
found to answer the purpose excellently.
For fence and gate posts, it is particularly
recommended:
Take linsecd oil, boil it, and mix it with
charcoal dust until the mixture has the
consistency of an ordinary paint. Give to
the posts single coat of the mixture or
paint before planting them, and, no far
mer, says one who has used it, living to
the age OF the patriarchs of old, will live
long enough to see the same posts rotten.
The posts or timber should be well season.

VALUE OF Coal AsuEs.-In reply to thSS
inquiry, whether any oI the agricultural
questions, discussed for the last % years,
are yet definitely settled to the satisfaction
of all, even that of the value of coal ashes,
we reply that the different reports on this
head one party speak ing Of using a them to
great advantage, and another seeing no
benefit at all, is, we believe, attributg,E
to the presence in them, or otherwise, IS
wood ashes. In kindling coal fires, me-
or less wood is used, but with pare coal
ashes any benefit is mechanical only. They
may disintegrate and somewhat loosen a
stiff soil, or they may render more com
pact very light and sandy soil They
are also sometimes useful in making or
improving paths and roads. For one or
more OF these uses, the coal ashes of any
farmers family, may be of some benefit,
but Jy themselves they will not fertilze any,
thing. This at least is our conclusion
