John w. Drew.
SiOuI Civ Journal.

The Blue. Ribbon Neacs, q Daven-
port publication, has been seeking to
dispArage the temperance work of
John W. Drew. The Neus evident
ly knows very little in regard to what
Mr.. Drew has been doing, for it
speaks of his recent work in Sioux
City ~ q simple doing over what
had been done before. This matter
was under discussion at Cedar Rap
ids the other evening, after the ad.
tournament of one of Drew's meetings
and quite . ruffied feeling toward
the Davenport reform organ was
manifested. In this gathering
were representatives Of the Waterloo
and Vinton reform clubs, a. well as
the Cedar Rapids club, and one ma q
said: "If John Drew had never
done anything since he came to the
State of Iowa but reform us tscelUe
hard drinkers, it would be glory
enough for one man." The Blue RID
bon Netcs of Davenport, in that re-
mark Of reformed man, is sufficient
~ answered on the score of all the
slurs it can put out against Drew,
Drew has borne some very good
fruit in the Iowa temperance cause,
and incorporate people should strive
to know him by these fruits. The
Davenport Gazette, referring to this
matter, we'll says:
"a pity it is, and burning shame,
that the interest of the noble reform
should SO continually be made to .suf-
fer because of the petty jealousies,
and disgraceful uncharitableness, of
those who should be its friends. Ii
reform were only trade, explana-
ton of the existence of the evil COM
planned of would be simple and d.
rect. But then, even rival tradesmen
hesitate to deal in open falsehood con-
corning competitors.

Hogs and Hog Product.


With the large amount of hog pro-
ducts on hand in this country and in
Europe, with an aggregate produc-
ton of meats and lard for the year
a pproximating 1,970,OO0,O00 pounds,
and the foreign exports during this
period about $4,000, 900 pounds, COM
pared with total production of L.
BIG, O0O 900 pounds of meat the previ-
Gus year, and exports of .750. 100000
pounds, with fully 60,O00,OO0 pounds
more hog products on hand this year
than last, with an immense corn crop
estimated at l, 300, 600, 900 bushels, aud
with probably 10000, 600 hogs to mar
ket the coming season, it would seem
that we may look for lower prices
even than last year for pork. One
reason for this yearly increase of
the number of hogs marketed is the
ease with which swine can be raised
and fattened. Even the constantly in
creasing disability from contagious
and epidemic diseases, superinduced
undoubtedly in great degree by
want of proper care and feeding,
even this has failed to decrease the
production; but in spite of this we
largely increased accessions yearly to
our hog receipts until the estimated
number this year aggregates the sum
total stated. We suppose this over
production will cure itself as other
overproductions do, by carrying the
market below a paying point. II
would seem to have been reached now
with live hogs in some of our interi-
or markets, ranging from $l.90 to
$2.l5 p 100 pounds. Yet, low as ia
the price, it is relatively better than
corn in the same neighborhood. The
real remedy, we think, is in more
diversified agriculture.

Destitution in England.

England has entered upon winter
which will witness terrible privation
among tens Of thousands. Cotton,

they cannot possibly compete with

to say II went over our iron workers

The Best Cows.
Slate Register.

An earnest farmer asks our opinion,
"What is the cow for farmer to
keep" We unhcsitatinglv answer,
short-horn. The farmer wishes to
make butter enough for his own use,
but his main business lie, or should be,
to raise calves. Unless he proposes
to make butter . specially. and do it
on scientific principles, it is useless to
make any more than for his own ia
BILE. The average price Of farm but
ter cannot be over 10 cents. The past
year it has not been 90 much. Dur
ing the season of the year when most
is made, it hardly pays to take it to
market. Farmers then should keep
that class of cows that will produce
calves for beeves. This position 10 SO
thoroughly established that we have
no hesitation in recommending it un-
conditionally. Get . thoroughbred
bull, which are cheap, and commence
by breeding for grades on common
cows, and as he progresses, raise the
grade. It 10 not necessary to raise
full bloods for beef, as high grades
are about equal for that purpose
But never use . grade bull.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2l.-The state
ment made by Mr.. Mackey, of Charles
ton, and widely published at the
north, that Daggett, foreman Of the
Charleston Courier and Nears, stuffed
$50 fraudulent ballots into one box at
the late election, receives official con-
firmation from the United States Su-
pervisor stationed at the poll where
Daggett was. 1t will be remembered
that for this statement Mackey was
sued for libel. The Supervisor re-
lates that an hour before the poll
closed Daggett entered, and seated
himself at . table near the ballot-box.
On several occasions, when the atten.
ton of the Supervisor was momenta-
rily attracted by persons approach
ing or questioning him, on turning
back he discovered Daggett stufiing
packages of tissue tickets into the box.
At one time he tried to insert SO large
q package that one Of the Democratic
managers went to his relief and push.
ed it through into the box with his
pencil. For an hour Daggett contin.
ued to do this kind of work as he
could find opportunity, and in this he
had the help Of accomplices, who
stood so as to cover him rs much al
possible from the eyes of the Supervi.
