WINTER wheat which has been
sown into fields exposed to strong
winds may be prevented from be-
coming winter killed by scattering
straw (if wet, partly rotted or in.
jured, all the better) in thin layer
over the whole surface. 1t should

lighs wholly. We have known a
difference of fifteen bushels per acre
from such protection in an extreme
case.
It's just as we predicted would
be the result after election. The

which has been SO largely advertised
as the cheapest paper in the wolll,
has passed in it's check, and
gone up salt creek. Don't forget,
either, that every subscriber to this
bastard sheet, had to make payment
in advance in the real mouey of the
day, and not that green trash which
it advocated. "Give mo back my
fifteen cents" is interspersed lively
now. Howl on till We be consolated.
HoGGIsH.-Monday's hog excur-
sion on the M. p. r. r. was largely
attended. Thirteen car loads we're
shipped from Mineral Point and the
total from different depots along the
road was over 40 cars. Besides this
there came to this market in the
same day over 60 wagon loads, at
one time over 30 in a line, and from
s to ~ droves that averaged over SO
hogs to the drove. We venture the
statement without fear Of contradic-
ton, that there's no other market in
the State that can exceed this days

The Silver men in Congress are disposed to
try whether the National honor can't endure
just little soiling; whether it may not turn
out well in the END if the Great Republic

ing on its plighted faith may not, after all, be
good enough for all practical purposes if it is
only little rotten.

The New Imitation Bill.

The passage of the silver bill by the Senate
has so encouraged the infationists and green
hackers that they report through the
House committee on banking and cur
rency of which they have control, a
bill which commits Us directly to repudi-
atron. tffife -l;ssts
about it. The bill forbids any further
contraction of the currency, calls in all ma
ticnal bank notes and substitutes for them as
legal tender in all cases an irredeemable treas
ury note. This bill was at once denounced
by one of the minority as a step toward re-
pudation. 1t is more than that; it is an ar
rival there. The committee proposes to at
once increase the public indebtedness by the
sum of 320 millions dollars. And there is not
even suggestion of redemption in the bill.
1t would seem that so bad bill could
have no possible chance of adoption by Con-
gress. We believe it has not at present. Yet
it passed the committee by vote of seven to
two, and its advocates profess to be certain of
its success. The rapdity with which the sill
yer movement has gained friends encouf-
ages them to believe that the greenback
movement will make as rapid progress. They
reason logically enough. If men will vote to
repudiate ten per cent. of the debt why should
they not vote to repudiate the whole?
The only difference is in the size
of the ''steal." But the greenbackers
forget that many of those who desire the re-
| monetization OF silver are not governed by
unworthy motives and honestly believe in
the justice and practicability of the double
standard of values. When these men are
asked to vote for open reputation they will
refuse.
The bill may pass the House. The Demo-
cratic majority with few exceptions are COM
| mitted to its doctrines, and the Democratic
| party of Indiana has just affirmed them in
| its State convention. But the bill can get no
farther in this Congress. Probably its friends
do not expect to see it made law this ses-
sion. Their hope is in the return of House
| largely Democratic next Fall. Then, with
| the aid of Democratic Senate, they feel
certain they can succeed. 1t must be con-
| fessed that their anticipations are not unrea-
| sonable. The national credit in the hands OF
Democratic Congress would be perilously
| situated indea6

LIFE INSURANCE FAILURES Nor One PER

examination aud comparison of ths life in-
surance statistics of this country, show that
the total gross income of American companies
from organic alton to date is 81, ,23S 1S5 900. 1t
also shows that Sl2 ,0000 900 would more than
cover all the losses that have been sustained
through all the failures that have occurred
here. This estimate is unnecessarily large, for
cause it allows, tor example, twice as much be-
Charter Oak and UuiYersal deficiencies as our
superintendent called for ia the Guardian aud

outside limits, it cannot be trutafnlly asserted
that more than l per cent. of the income OF

such loss to be less tHan one per cent While
