IL you say the President should represent
no party, but the whole people, the answer
is He must represent the whole people
through fidelity to principles approved and
accepted by him a. the representative Of his
political party Political parties, in the
sense in which We use the term, are the out
growth Of freedom. The experience of free
peoples has devised no other effective mode
If steadily influencing and controlling public
affairs. 1t Is essential To the life Of a party,
to an honest or useful relation between a
party and its leaders, that the latter should
faithfully represent the principles Of the
former. No man Is ever trusted a. party

When VIC consider that the American

mnst concede the Windsor convention some
creative talent, or, if not creative. shrewdly
adaptative. Probably the Connecticut sys-

name for their State.

from Connecticut, and they showed their

intends that the men who are dependent

regard themselves as servants of all instead
of a part of the people.
The order We are discussing is an
restore the Government to the position,
that it exists, not to be the spoil
of party, but to protect and
bless the nation. The salaries of federal
officers have been treated as kind OF grand
list, upon which party managers have levied
such taxes "a they thought best, to promote
party success. Is 1t not idle to take the
ground that such citizens las human
nature goes) would be likely to exert a con-
trolling influence in the selection of public
officers" with the same motives as other
men? Dependent upon the President Tor
their position, is it not to be generally ex-
pected that they will do his pleasure, if he
happens to be DESTROYS of securing personal
ends? Ii, on the contrary, the officer
understands that he is to be perfectly free to
believe and vote as he wishes, for or against

position to direct and control the opera

Some seem to regard politics as so debased

TuR victory of the Boyne, won by hlng
William over the army Of King James, on
the 10Th of July. 1890, practically gave Ire
land to the protestant King William Its
memory has consequently always been odious
to Catholic Irishmen. After the subJugatlon
of the island by William, the name oil
Orancemen was frequently applied to
the loyal subjects of the new dynasty,
though the society which bears that name
was not formed until 1875. 1t is said that
in 1886, the order had l45 900 members in
England and l25, 900 in Ireland. The order
is in the habit Of celebrating the anniversary
Of the BOyne battle, by professions IN the
cities, accompanied with demonstrations not
pleasing to Catholic lrishmen, and in Can
ada the 10Th OF July seldom passes without
riot in some of the Canadian cities. In Mon
treal, this year, the Orangemen made their
arrangement for a public procession, and the
more excited aud law less of the Irish Catho-
lie population OF that city proposed to pre-
vent its marching by force. Both sides

city whose streets are constantly filled with
professions of Catholics but by persuading
the Orangemel to forego their parade. A
deputation Of the city council waited on the

march and at a meeting of the presidents
of the English, Irish, Scottish, German

resolution was passed deciding not to march

persons having left before the vote was cast.
The action was doubtless sensible, under all
the circumstances. No particular good was
to be gained by parading and if they could
not march without being mobbed, it was
clearly the part of prudence to abstain from
marching. But it is not to the credit OF
Montreal that a peaceable procession, of
whatever nationality or faith, cannot pass
through its streets without moleststion.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


- ---'O 1--WE O~S
There is quite diversity of opinion in re-
gard to the best time to have cows drop their
calves so as to return the greatest measure
of profit, and it depends very much on the
persons themselves whether spring, summer,
fall or winter be the best time, and on the
age of the animals, the way they are fed, and
the food given. Experience in this matter
has demonstrated to us that the best time to
have young heifer drop her first calf is late
in the spring, so she can have the benefit of
plenty OF sweet, nutritious grass after her
calf has been taken away, to steadily and
naturally increase her flow of milk, and
thereby lay the foundation of good mixer.
Ii she comes in for profit in the winter, when
she has to subsist for the most part on dry
feed as do many hundreds of our farmers
cows, she will not improve as she should
and would on grass. As it is the most criti-
cal period in the life fof good dairy cow,
when she drops her first calf, If it be desired
to have really first-class animal, we think
there should be no question about which is
the best time for her to calve, for it is when
she can get plenty of natural juicy food.
We like to have our heifers from twenty
four to thirty months old when they drop
their first calves, for much earlier than this
is apt to dwarf them in stature as well as in
other desirable qualities, while, if left long
er than that the owner loses much time that
is unnecessary. We speak from experience,
though there may be many who may, and no
doubt do. differ with US on this as MANY
more subjects,
In regard to mature cows, those which
have their second or third calf, the time of
year for having them drop their calves is
not SO important point as it undoubtedly
is with yonng and immature dairy stock, for
it is reasonable to suppose that those first
mentioned have become established and are
not SO apt to iDjure, though we shall always
advocate good feeding, liberal in quantity,
and of the best and most desirable quality.
In either milk or a butter dairy, the pro-
ducts of that dairy command higher prices
during winter than during the warm summer
months; and they should do 80, for the cost
of producing the butter and milk, consequent
on the increased labor and expense in feed
ing, is much more in winter than in summer
when they have the benefit of good pasture.
If there is plenty of good feed on hand, and
you expect to give plenty of it, to be second
ed by the best care and management, then
we say it will pay to have your mature ami
mails drop their calves during winter. By
the time they have decreased considerably in
their flow and keep it up, they are nearly
ready to go dry.
Until we know of better plan we shall
continue to practice the above, as near as
circumstances will permit us to do so, for we
have had good evidence that it is good plan.
If there is better one we are anxious to
know what it IS, from those who have tried
over the one mentioned above. Ohio Farmer.
