PRICE OF PORK

Western Stock Journal and Farmer
Last spring we promised the farmers four
cents for pork this season, We cannot ex-
tend our liberal offer; the large supply OF
old pork on hand, and the depressed condi-
ton of business does not allow a buoyant
pork market. We now believe the Novem-
Der and December sales in the country, will
be at three cents, which possibly may ad-
vance to three and a half for choice lots.
Later in the season We expect the pork mar
ket to advance, for the following reasons:
LIST. Last spring many farmers sold their
brood sows, and more were Indifferent about
pigs because Of the low prices. In many
sections not more than one. half of the usual
number of pigs we're raised,
2. The ravages of disease among swine
has been unprecedently great, devastating,
in some cases, almost every herd in an Ell.
tire section of country. 1t is an every day
occurrence to.learn that a farmer has lost
his entire stock Of hogs, one, two or thret
hundred, as the case may be.
Sd. The.area Of the pork production mus
be further limited BY the price Of corn.
In our judgment the number of logs il
the United States to be marketed the ensu
ing winter is not more than two .thirds a!
many as was on hand at a corresponding
time last year.
For these reasons we believe the market
will be frmer as the season advances.

W. J. Jones, who wa tarred and feather

pitiable condition when he reached Truckee.
The Republican says: 1--WE saw the vic.
tim Thursday night on the overland train.
He was In q truly pitiable condition. Coal
tar or gas tar had been used, and used freely.
The substance blisters like a mustard plaster.
The cuticle will peal off of Mr.. Jones Just
az if he had been boiled. His hair and the
wound in his head was filled with tar. The
hair stuck out in all directions, or At least
. mass of tar stuck out. The sockets of his
eyes were level full of solid tar, which
seemed to have been poured into them and
allowed to cool. His whiskers seemed a
large, unshapely mass Of tar. His face,
neck, and, we are told, his entire body, had
. thick coating. The vigilantes kindly
clothed him before putting him on the train.
The sight might have been ludicrous if il
had not been agonizing. The train wa
nearly three hours in reaching Truckee.
The pain endured by the poor fellow was
excruciating. Sightless, helpless, coated
with . horrid, odoriferous substance, he cal
sllently, with his head bowed over. Occa.

would witch n%ervously, q if from the pair
he endured. Arriving at Truckee, Grandi
son Jones and another colored man wer.
put to work to remove the tar. 1t was ar

Every body who saw the poor wretch pitiet

deed would have pitied him. His suffering
were extreme. His eyes were fairly burn

six hours two men worked faithfully neu

SENATORS WITHERS
Gives his Views on Current Politics
The Potter InvestigatiOn-Thur-
man and Acknowledgement
labor Party.

New York Graphic: Senator Withers, of
Virginia, who is ON a visit to this city at the
instance of the Virginia immigration society
said to-day to Graphic reporter, in speak
ing of the political situation:
''The Potter committee was never created
with the idea of unseating Hayes. The real
idea was to procure evidence for the public
so as to show them where the real fraud be-
longed, and by that means the Democratic
party has been strengthened"
"Whom do you think leads in the Presi-
dental race on the Democratic side?''
Thurman, sir! Thurman is strong man:
he will run well with both sides. He Is ma
tive Of our State, and will be supported
strongly, If nominated. Hendricks, who, by
the way, was also born in our State, will
stand a good chance, if nominated"
Are not his chances impaired through his
connection with Mr.. Ti!den, two years ago?''
mo, sir; Mr.. Hendricks is not responsible
for Mr.. Tilden's policy, and, If nominated,
will establish an entirely different platform. -
'Whom do you think is the favorlte with
the Republican party?"
''Undoubtedly Grant. He is the strongest
man In the Republican ranks to-day, and |
have no doubt but that he went abroad on
purpose. He will be sent after when want
ed, and will make formidable candidate to
run against"
But how about the third-term question ?'
at will not interfere with his chances. l
do not think that the people will take that
question into consideration.
Has the National Labor party much
strength in the south?"
mo, sir; it is not very strong yet, but they
may spread considerably before 1880. They
elected legislator from Lyncbburg, and that
is all they have done in our State. We have
a new party which is styled the 'Forcible Re-
adjusters.' They make an issue of the State
debt, and by keeping it before our people,
and joining the Labor party, may form a
strong opposition at the next election"
