AS regards the vast estates Of the
Crown, which nominally cover an area
five times as large as France, great
part consists of forests situated in
the extreme north, and practically in
accessible i'm default of railway COM
muuication. The arabic lands might be
sold to the Crown peasants who now
till them, but this would involve an intri-
cate operation, and those who advanced
the purchase money would have TO depend
for reimbursement on long aud somewhat
precarious annuities. We may add that
the national domain Is already mortgaged
to secure the issues of paper money, and
that this measure has not availed to save
Russia from partial bankruptcy toward
the holders of her currency.
To sum up, the independent resources of
tho Russian Empire cannot be relied on to
meet large accession of burdens, and the
outlook for foreign loans is by no means
promising For the accomplishment of her
social reforms aud the expansion of her
productive forces, the country needs a
long term ofpcaco, prolonged. at all events,
to the epoch when the serf shall have
been completely emancipated. Should Rus
STA now drift into war; she will do so under
serious fiscal disabilities and should the
Turks ultimately obtain the ally whom
they expect, 1T may turn out that the purse

A coronor's jury at Middletown, r. l..
near Newport, have returned n verdict
that CHARLES ;. BROwN, Il sou of WILLIAM
Henry Blows, knew of the burning Of
his fathers house, and that he maliciously
and felonou.ly refused and neglected TO
mako any effort to put out the fire or to
save his fathers life. The whole COM
munity arc appalled, at tho contemplation
of such crime.
Yet this is the same thing, on small
scale, which very strong evidence goes to

Telegraph Competition.

1t is eSceelingly desirable for the pub
lie, and especially SO for the press, that
there should be competition IN telegraph
ing in all parts of the world-that Is to
say, that there should be competing lines
exerting themselves to get business aud
reducing the prices to economical figures.
Above all, Is is important that such COM
petition should be maintained in interna-
tional and submarine telegrnphing.
Until the United States Direct Cable
Company was established between this
country and England there was no COM
petition, because there was only one line
and an effort IS now making to effect
practical consolidation of that company
with tho old one, so that there may be
only one line still. and SO that competition.
with all its public benefits, may be de-
stroyed. So far, the Direct Company has
been exceedingly successful. It's business
has been large, aud It's profits satisfactory;
any accident this should be broken.
ITS traffic and It's profits would cease at
once until 1t was repaired. On this
fact the temptation is based which Is
offered 10 its stockholders for the purpose
of inducing them to agree TO consolidation.
But the temptation would be Intellectual if
the company were in possession of the
means TO lay down another cable. Then if
one were broken, the other could stu
work and the business continue.
An attempt was made in England last
year To raise the additional capital re-
quired for such IA duplicate cable. This
attempt was not successful, and the fail
ure has been followed by the present
effort to consolidate the company with its
rival. There are obstacles in the way Of
such a consolidation. yet the interests in
volyed are so large that great efforts will
be made to overcome hem, and, after all,
the object may be attained and competi-
ton be destroyed.
However. instead OF tolerating project
OF amalgamating with their antagonist,
the stockholders and managers of the Dr.
rect Com pauy ought to come 10 the United
States, aud endeavor here to make up the
capital necessary to lay down second
deeply Interested IN tho maintenance of
telegraphic competition. while the profits
OF IT are proved to he so handsome, that
we scarcely doubt their willingness TO sub
scribe for such purpose Besides, il
would be advisable for the American
press alone to raise half the cost of another
cable rather than have the whole business
again fail under the control Of "a single
corporation.

Office throughout the State. The Judges
he appoints superintend the selection Of
jures. And he controls the militia,
All these powers were exerted to the full
lest extent at the last election. Super
added TO them, the United States Marshal
and multitude ofdeputies, drawing large
pay from the Treasury, were scattered
over the state, while the troops which are
maintained by general taxation were
placed under the orders Of the Marshal,
and many of them stationed in tho very
parishes which have been rejected by the
Returning Board. Besides these agencies,
the whole power of tho Administration
was thrown into the scale to support KEEL
Logo. In word the machinery Of the
State and the national Governments, the
army, and the Treasury so far rs IL could
be reached, were all united to carry HAYES
through. This formidable organization
was beaten, because the people, white aud
black, rose up in their strength and de-
manded honest government. And when
the Republican Supervisors and Commits
sioners of Election returned "a ma orty of
eight or nine thousand for TILpEN, the
Returning Board which twice had cheated
the people out of the fruits of former vic
tories deliberately sat down and changed
thirteen thousand votes, and by this
swindie the state was counted for HAYES.
When asked for the reason of this iniquity,
the only answer given is intimidation"
Aud the American people are expected to
accept that excuse for n monsirous fraud,
by which the Presidency would now he
decided, and II blow be struck mt the basis
of all honest and free government.

Experiments with Milk.


Mr.. VIM. Cooley, Of vermont, has
been making some interestinh expert.
ments with milk, to determine the
quickest method to obtain cream and
have it in the best condition for max.
ing bntter. He commenced setting
milk at one hundred degrees main :
taiuing it at that temperature until the
milk soured, noting carefully the quan
tity Of cream, and the time it vas rails
ing he then set other samples at nine.
ty degrees, following the same course
as above; then At eighty, then At sew
enty, then at sixty, then At fifty five,
then at fifty. then At forty five, then at
forty, aud finally at thirty. five, this be.
ing as low rs he could carry the tenn
perature BY the use Of ice.
BY these experiments he found that
the lower he carried the temperature
the faster the cream, would rise until
he arrived at forty degrees or the grea-
test density Of water, the best results
being attained At between forty aud
forty i've degrees, if the milk was cool.
ed Immediately after being drawn from
the COW.
Mr. Cooley sums up his conclusions;
If We want cream to rise quickly, and
10 the best possible condition for max
ing first class article Of butter, We
must cool The milk thoroughly, imue-
diately after milking, down to at least
fort. five degrees, and the nearer We
spproach to this, the better will bs the
result. .,44.. =.
