has developed itself The latest epidemic in
New York is telegraph posts. Two weeks ago 1t

question whether this can possibly be the nine

take place. The New York Tribune and Times

UFF1CE--7s CAMP STREET,
THE SEVENTH WARD.

We print this evening the proceedings
Of meeting Of Democrats and Conser-
vatives Ia the Seventh Ward. which
organized the Nichols and Wiltz Club
on the 18th. We print. with these pro-
ceedings, list Of the members Of the
club. In which the public will recognize
many well known, Influential and repre-
sentative citizens OF the ward. We devote
80 much space to these documents be-
cause we believe that the proposition Of
this club to heal the division which has
arisen In the Seventh Ward, out
Of the contest for the Presidency
Of the Central Club. Is Of very great
importance, and because we think that
the responsibility for the continu-
ance Of that division must rest upon
the faction which declines the compro-
mise proposition OF club Of disintert
ested citizens such as those Ia this list.
At this late day. 1t matters little which
faction was In the first place right and
which wrong, and 1t Is probable there
was measure OF right and wrong on
both sides, the public interests are Of
paramount Importance and cannot be
ignored in q contest for leadership be-
tween two individuals or two factions.
We cannot see how the parties to this
division can maintain themselves be-
fore the public in a refusal to compro-
mise this unfortunate aud unseemly
wrangle upon the reasonable basis Pro-
posed by the Nichols and WiItz Club.
II, however, they, or either OF them. de-
cline to compromise the matter, 1t will
be the imperative duty OF the Parish
Committee to take the matter In hand,
ignore both the claimants Of the presi-
dency Of the Central Club. and order a
new election under commission APP
pointed from among the representative
men OF the ward.
We have no doubt that both parties
believe they are entirely 10 the right.
but each feeling conscious OF being In
the right should be willing to concede
their rights In ward squabble to the
higher and more general interests OF
the whole community. ~ 15

There Is juso now some uneasin

There is juso now some uneasiness
amongst the Radicals touching the
political complexion Of the next United
States Senate. At present there are
seventy-o -one members who have occu-
pied their seats, with Blaine elected but
not sworn in, and two vacancies, one in
Louisiana and one in West Virginia.
or the total number Of members (seven-
ty FOUR, the terms Of twenty-five expire
on the 4th Of March next, and OF these
twenty-five there are sixteen Repub-
licans and nine Democrats.
or the forty y-nine Senators who hold
over after the 4th of March, twenty
seven are Republicans and nineteen are
Democrats, with one Independent
Booth, of California, } and the vacancies
above referred to. Taking Colorado,
the new State, into consideration, there
are twenty-five Senators yet to be
chosen during the fall elections, and In
order to secure bare majority the
Democrats will have to elect sixteen
of this number. The question is, can
they do it? The new Senators are to
come from Maine, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, Delaware, North Carolina. South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana
(two). West Virginia two), Illinois.
Michigan, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kansas,
Nebraska, Minnesota, Oregon and Col
orado.
Now, unless the Republicans can ar
rest the decentralization that has taken
place in their ranks, and effectually
overcome the resistless impulse which
gave so commanding q majority to the
House Of Representatives, tho election
of the required sixteen Senators may be
considered certain. But even II the
Democrats fail to secure majority,
they will so reduce the Republican force
as to enable them to carry such meas
ures OF reform as the better class OF Re-
publican Senators approve. There are
certain independent-mindedRe Republican
Senators who have always failed to fol-
low their party In its extremes OF action,
and who will vote with the Democrats
on any measure Of reform which fairly
reflects the popular sentiment OF the

What Minnesota Supports.

Perhaps 1t may not he known to all our
readers that Minnesota supports an agricu'-
tural paper equal in size, reading matter
and neatness Of make up to any published
in the older States of the Union. Not on
ly this. but it is larger. even. than some
leading States furnish. Missouri. which
has three times our population, publishes
Coleman's Rural World, which is eight
columns smaller: Wisconsin,, in the
western Farmer" only has forty COL
umn paper in place Of forty-eight in the
''Farmers' union," published at Minneap-
oils; while Illinois furnishes in the "Prairie
Farmer" only the same amount of matter
as theUnion. This being the case, wouldn't
it be we'll for our farmers to patronize home
industry little more and try their own
paper Year, Many are sending off to
New York and elsewhere for periodicals,
when home agricultural news would be
more beneficial. We notice that the u MON
has recently put ON a new dress. and that
it still continues to furnish its usual
amount Of interesting original matter from
the farmers each week. The publication
Of so large and well filed journal in Min
nesota is credit to the State, and it ouph,
to lie we'll supported by the farmers. We
will club it with the GAzErrE for 60. 90 i

How to Get Eggs In Winter.

The American Ag-iculturist, answer
ing this question, say:-"With a
warm shelter and suitable food, pullets
will begin to lay through the Winter.
Il is mainly question of feed. The
staple feed is Indian corn, because it
is the most plentiful and the most con.
venient. It furnishes plenty of fat,
and keeps up the heat Of the fowls,
but is poor in albumen and the phos-
pilates. They want variety Of grains
and vegetables, and, TO do their best,
one feed daily Of warm cooked meal
and vegetables. Most farmers have
milk, and if this can be added it will
be all they need. Butchers scrap cake
is good, and may safely be kept in the
[pealtry yard where the fowls can help
themselves At pleasure. Boiled pota
toes, or turnips, mashed and mixed
with Indian meal, make AZ excellent
feed for laying hens. Fowls are par.
|ticularly fond Of cabbages and turDips
1t all stages ot their growth. and eat
them raw greedily every day, if they
|can get them. We have found 60
GOOD results from feeding cabbages to
laying hens. that We always lay 10 q

from the butchers, and offal from the
fish market, also furnish good material
