simply mean to do their level best.

will hesitate as the final hour comes.
Austria and Germany are comfortable as
they are, and see 10 advantage in mixing

will stand face to face, and England will
gain concessions If she does not ask too

REPRESENTATIVE ELLSWORTH, ofthis
Congressional district, made very eff
fective speech in Congress on Monday,
April LIST, upon the subject OF the tariff,
which is now agitating the country, as
well as Congress. 1t was, in our opinion,
the best speech Mr.. Ellsworth has made,
and will doubtless show those who have
questioned his ability that he is able and
willing to work for the best interests OF
his state and country. He gave history
of the struggle between protection and
tree trade, and showed conclusively that
protection was tor the best interests OF
the whole country. The Detroit Post
and Tribune printed the speech in full
which We regret that our space will not
permit us to do. The speech will ac-
complish much good, and establish Mr..
Ellsworth's reputation as close and
Logical relsoner.

The Turks have already evacuated the
Kayak fort, which is at the narrowvst
part of the Bosphorus, or whei e the strait
is less than mile wide. There are two
forts at this point. one on the European

the last few years these forts have been
reconstructed, under the supervision of
Russian engineers, and armed with can

forts i'm their possession, and with the
heights i'm the rear occupied by their
troops, the Russians command the en-
trance to the Black Sea.
THE resignation of Judge Peck, of the
Court of Claims has been forwarded to
the President by Eugene Hale. in whose
hands it was placed, and will be at once
accepted. There are large numbers OF
candidates, among whom are Kenneth
Raynor. Solicitor OF the Treasury; j. Y.
Scammon. of Chicago, and eX-Congress-
man Paine. of Wisconsin,; but it seems
probable that Judge Hunt, of Louisiana,
will be selected. He is native of Lou

THERE is one Democratic editor in the
state who don't take kindly to the fOibles
Of his party with the new national
greenback party. That man is Andrew
Jackson Shakespeare, of the Kalamazoo
Gazette. How long he will remain in
his present state of mind remains to be
seen. but i'm his last paper he alludes to
the strength of the greenback movement
in Texas township, Kalamazoo county,
and says: I'VE want our true blue
Democratic friends to run ticket in that
township this spring 0; it does not get a
dozen votes. This greenback craze will
have run like the itch and then die out,

In no other branch of agricultural husband
ry has there been so much improvement
within the last decade as in the breeding and
improving of cattle, and this has been the
case Notwithstanding the shrinkage in the
ordinary receipts of the farm. True, but lit
tie has been done in proportion to what re-
remains to be dohe. In every part of the
country cows of the old unimproved breeds
are still more numerous than grades, and
the beef offered in great majority of cases is
such as must be sold for prices that do not
pay the feeder, while beeves good enough for
expectation to foreign countries are but few.
But there is, Notwithstanding, great-and
better still, steady ncreasing-improve-
ment. There is no better or higher bred cat
tie to be found than are owned by some OF
our breeders This is proved by the high
price paid in the states, and even in Eng.
land, the native home of the Short-Horns.
Agricultural exhibitions and the agricult-
ural press have been the means of convinc.
ing intelligent farmers of the great folly, 81
breeding from any but well bred bulls. Inc
earlier maturity of well bred stock, zen OF
grades and the much higher price, aey orlng.

careless -ay OF farming followed by so many.
T1-Sy could live where well bred cattle could
not thrive.
This point is In reality strong argument
In favor of well bred stock, whether thorough
breds or grades. Their introduction will
compel the negligent to be more diligent than
they have been. There must be more
thorough cultivation. Clover and grasses of
the best kind and most suitable varieties
must take the place of weeds. Farmers will
not rely entirely upon wheat, impoverishing
the land with successive securing crops.
There will be more and better beef and NUT
ton for the home markets and for expectation
TO Europe.
We see already the beginning of these i'm.
provements in breeding cattle in our agricul-
ture in Canada. In the neighboring country,
where, if in any place, they appreciate the
value of dollars and cents, they are pushing
forward in the advance of Improvement.
