THE PEOPLE WILL RULE.

The President has received very
encouraging assurance from all parts
of the country that the people will
sustain him in his efforts to reform
civil service abuses and restore peace,
even il it should be necessary to
throw over a few Of their old leaders,
men who have done good service to
the country, who were progressive
md in the vanguard of human liber-
" and good government few years
since, but who have now become fos-
sils, and obstruct the car Of progress.
Certain of our ststesmen-we need
not name them-still utter the watch
words OF past days, while current
events have carried the people ON to
q period OF changed condition and
sentiment, which these old fogies
seem unable to comprehend. The
Republic may run to fnan ;ial ruin,
for all these radicals care, if the old
condition of sectional hatred can be
maintained. But the people have
decided that the day has come when
..pesce and good will to men" shall
prevail.
The President sent to the Senate
the names of Cabinet composed vt
eminent men, certainly fitted to carry
out his ideas of reform, but not of a
character to satisfy the fogy poll
ticians, who entered objections to
their confirmation, though they soon
found that the people resented inter-
ference and would brook no opposi-
ton to their will, and so the nomina-
tons we're confirmed. The Cabinet
officers except Thompson, not ar
rived, and Sherman, previously con-
irmed, we're all sworn in Monday,
and indicted into Office.
The public voice, carried by the
telegraph from every city, town and
hamlet, forced peaceful settlement
of the Presidential dispute, forced the
confirmation of the new Cabinet, and
will force all persons to let the Presi-
dent 90 forward in his course, doing
the bidding of the people. If any
opposition is attempted, the faction
lists will find such storm of popular
indignation raised about their heads
that they will be driven to seek shell
ter in seeming, if not actual support
of the President.

PRESIDENT GRANT changed his
Cabinet officers very often. The
position of Secretary of State was
held almost uninterruptedly by
Hamilton Fish, Washburne having
only held the Office awhile at the be-
ginning of the Administration. There
were four Secretaries of the Treas
ury-Boutwell, Richardson, Bristow
and Morrill,; five Attorney Generals
--Hoar, Alderman, Williams, Pierre
pont and Taft; two Secretaries of the
Navy-Borie and Robson; four Sec
retaries of War-Rawlins, Belknap,
Taft and Cameron; three Secretaries
Of the Interior-Cox, Delano and
Chandler; three Postmaster Generals
-Creswell, Jewell and Tyner.

The London Money Market Re-
view says that the Bank of France
has announced that it will hereafter
make advances upon bar silver at one
per cent per annum with a margin of
ten per cent. in the French rentes de-
posted with the bank. This is re-
turn to the custom prevailing before
the panic ip silver. Its effect will be
to steady the market. and il may be
regarded as an indication of faith in
the future OF silver.

How PRESIDENT HAYES SAVED
HIS ARM.-The Springfield, Ohio,
Republic says: President Hayes was
wounded in the arm at South Noun
tain. The surgeons said it must
come of, and proceeded to make all
necessary preparations for amputa-
ton. The General was at Middleton,
Md, at the residence Of a gentleman
well known here, and the gentleman
begged him to allow his family ply
sician- DR.. Bare Of Middleton, also
we'll known hereto take charge of
it. He consented, although the army
surgeons were displeased. The doc
tor assumed the care of the General
and managed the case so we'll that
amputation was rendered unnecessa-
ry. This accounts for the fact that
our new President has two arms"

SALrIYG Cows.-My practice, says an old
dairyman, is to give my cows all the salt hay
they will eat, three times a week through
the summer seaso-. The amount consumed
by them is greater while in flush feed than
in short. The amount of milk returned by
the COWS is from quart to third more than
when salted but once a week. 1t may be
that some soils are deficient in salt, and that
stock require it in large quantities to equal
ize the system. If so, they will eat less ;
they are the best judges. The effect of salt
is to increase the desire for both food and
drink. Hence the materials for milk. More
salt is consumed by my stock when fed on a
clean grass patch where they can mix salt
and grass than if in shed, A strong solu-
tion of salt in water, irregularly applied on
hay for either cattle or horses produces
securing.

Best Breed of Hogs.

In answer to an inquiry which is the best
breed of hogs, an Ohio breeder gives the fol-
lowing reasons for naming the Poland Chi
ma as such breed:
l. They do not get NANCY. have never
had one that was troubled in that way and
this is something of so much Importance that
it should not be overlooked by any farmer
who knows anything of the evil.
.. This breed is excellent on account of
its early iattening qualities; and yet for its
continued growth it has no equal. When
only nine or ten months old it will readily
iatten into clear pork, weighing 300 pounds
or more. Or they will continue to grow until
twenty months old, and then weigh, when
fattened, from 450 to 525 pounds
3. 1t is the best feeder on clover and blue
grass that know Of / have witnessed text
experiments which went to show that hogs
of this breed will make more gain and
thrive better on grass alone than those of
any other breed.
4. They are naturally quiet at all times
unless contrary spirit Is stirred up by
abuse They fatten well, eating their fill
and then lying down. The sows are good
and prolific breeders, kind in litter and good
suckers.
8. l claim that the Poland China is the
hog for the packer, because of the proportion
of weight behind the shoulders and the
high priced meat it carries, and CORES.
pondingly small amount of offal produced.
1t has small head and small feet.
6. II is the breed that we can do the most
with between April and January. l claim
that pigs should come when grass in the
Spring begins to grow, so that they can be
fattened without having to winter them. Or,
if we deem it good policy to hold them
over, we want them to keep on growing du-
ring the summer with the least cost.
believe the Poland China is the hog for
the farmer. 1t is small boned and long bod
led. 1t has short legs and broad straight back;
it has deep sides, with square heavy hams
and shoulders; it has dropping ears and
fine hair, in color nearly always spotted
black.
