EEDERAL EXPENDITURES,

The bloody shirt being rotten and
buried, and the carpetbagger re-
manded either to the penitentiary
or at least to a state of life in which
he has to make his own living in

stealings, those politicians who are
unable to open their eyes to any
thing but the old war questions be-

Communism i'm Chicago.

A Chicago dispatch says: 1.-THE
police report that the communist
element here already number
several thousand, and that many
drilling places are almost nightly
frequented by armed men. There
are three halls on the North Side
having facilities for drilling pur-
poses, and the Superintendent of
Police reports that about four
thousand men drill in them every
week. In the Seventh ward are
two halls where they drill. In this
ward between four hundred and
five hundred men drill three times
a week. There are two halls in the
Fifth ward, where large numbers
attend the drills, which take place
three times a week. In the Sixth
ward one hundred men drill in two
different halls. superintendent Of
police Hickey says that the arms
used by the organization are mostly
Springfield rifles of the old and new
patterns. The most startling fact the
superintendent has discovered is
that the communists have sent an
agent nom Chicago TO New York
to purchase arms and ammunition.
OF this he has no doubt whatever,
having the most convincing evil
dence of the fact in his possession"

IN EUROPE.

To us who see things from with
out, negotiations for peace seem to
be suspended and preparations for
war to have taken their place. On
the part of Russia these seem, as
rumor says, to consist in arrange
ments for fitting out privateers in
the Pacific ports, and movement
to neutralize the Baltic so as to pre-
vent the approach of a British fleet
to the eastern coasts of Russia. The
former purpose is probably matur-
ing in San Francisco, the latter is
extremely improbable. In the first
place, it is only circulated as ru-
NOR grounded on the solitary fact
that Count Moltke has been sent on
some mission from st. Petersburg to
the Court at Copenhagen. In the
next place, it would be an unheard
of thing for two or three powers, or
anything short Of European Con-
gress, to declare neutral a portion of
the sea which has for centuries been
as much open to all nations as the
Atlantic ocean. For Russia, Swe-
den, Germany and Denmark to
combine to enforce such a scheme
as this would be tantamOunt to their
forming an alliance offensive and
defensive, a step for which those
powers are by no means prepared.
England meantime is transporting
large attachments of her Indian
army to Malta.
We have ceased to look for a
peaceful solution of the present COM
plications, and look upon the pros
pective belligerents as maneuvering
for an opportunity to strike the first
blow with advantage.

Hon. John f. House.

We hoist the name of Hon. John
F. House, in this issue, for re-elec-
ton to Congress, subject Of course
to a Democratic convention. No
man in Congress has made more
reputation than John F. House in
the short time he has been there,
and now, when there is so much at
stake, and men of ability and ex-
perience so greatly needed in our
National Council it would be suici-
dial for our people to send an I'M
tried, inexperienced recruit in his
place. We earnestly hope he will
have no opposition within the Dem
ocratic party, and of Republicans
and memberships we have no fear.

THE United States are far in adj
vance of any other country in point
of agriculture, the development of
this department of industry having
been truly marvellous in late years.
Thus the corn crop increased from
768, 100000 bushels in 1867, to $780,
100000 in 1877, or nearly hundred
per cent. in a single decade. The
hog crop, which may be said to be
a product of the corn crop, reached
the enormous total for the year end
ing with last month, of 9,058, $50
head, an increase of rising a hun
dred per cent. during the last ten
yeats. The yield of wheat for the
past year was 36o,0OO,OOO bushels,
or 1000, GOO more than was ever be-
fore produced. Deducting the
amount necessary for home con-
sumption and seed, upwards Of no.
900, 900 bushels is left for export. In
almost all other farm products there
has been nearly corresponding in

Neutralizing Poison.
Scientific American.

A poison of any conceivable de-
scription and degree of potency,
which has been Intentionally or ac-
cidentally swallowed, may, it is
said, be rendered almost instantly
harmless by simply swallowing two
gills Of sweet oil. A person with a
very strong constitution should take
very nearly twice thequantity. This
oil, it is alleged, will most positive
ly neutralize every form of vegeta-
bic, animal or mineral poison with
which physicians and chemists are
acquainted.

1t is claimed that Vanderbilt exhibited
great nerve and shrewd business sagacity in
the purchase of stocks and railroads con-
trolled by him. Yet, whenever he made an
investment he received in return an equiva-
lent either as his own, or as collateral secu-
rity. DR.. Il. V. Pierce has invested many
hundred Thousand dollars in advertising, de-
pending entirely upon the superior merits
of his goods for security. The unparalleled
popularity of his family medicines, and the
annual increase in their sale, attests in ar
guments stronger than words of their pu-
rity and efficiency. If the blood be impov-
erished, the liver sluggish or there be tu-
mors, blotches, and pimples, DR.. Perce's
Golden Medical Discovery will effect a
speedy and perfect cure. If the bowels be
constipated use DR. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets. Debilitated females suffering
with those peculiar dragging-down sensa-
tons and weaknesses, will find DR.. Perce's
Favorte Prescription safe and certain
remedy. Prompt relief and a permanent
cure have so universally followed it's use,
that the doctor now sells it under positive
guarantee.

Catherine Beecher, Deceased.

Catherine Beecher was born at East
Hampton, Long Island, September 6,
1900. She was engaged TO marry Pro-
fessor Fisher, of Yale College, who was
lost in a shipwreck off the coast of Ire
land, and her devotion to his memory
was the reason she remained single. OF
her long and useful life, Henry Ward
Beecher, her brother, said at the prayer
meeting in Plymouth Church, the other
evening:
"My earliest recollections of her are
in connection with Professor Fisher, in
1922. / remember very distinctly when
the news of his death came, and the
wretchedness it caused my sister. 1t
caused breaking up Of her whole re-
ligious faith. She found no relief in
her distress from the ordinary consola-
tions of religion. A great sorrow some
times gives a wrench that the whole
life does not suffice to put back. 1t is
useless to speculate what her life might
have been had she been fortunate in
her love, and become the mother of a
family. But she determined to give her
whole life to the benefit of other per-
sons. She was educated at the seminary
in Litchfeld, kept by Miss Pierce and
her sister and Jonathan Brace, the
father of Charles l.. Brace, of New
York. Catherine first established a
school in Hartford, which became emf
nent At this time she began to write
and publish books. Here she continued
until her health obliged her " give up
the work. In 1882, when my father re-
moved to Cincinnati. she established a
female sen mary there. Mrs. Stowe
was her assistant Later she originated
the plan of supplying the West with fe-
male teachers. Hundreds of the best
teachers the West received went out
under the patronage of this system.
But their careers were short mostly, for
in year or two they married. Then she
conceived the idea of great normal fe-
male seminaiies in the Northwestern
States. During all this time her pen
was not idle. She wrote from fifteen to
twenty books, all treating of women's
sphere and elevation. Her religious
feelings were strong; her religious views
varied more or less. During the last
fifteen or twenty years of her life she
was Il communicate of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, having returned late
in life to the church of her mother.
For twenty-five years she has suffered
from lameness and weakness of nerve
and body"
Among the works which she pub
lished may be mentioned Domestic
Service" " Treatise ON Domestic Econ
omy," True Remedy for the Wrongs of
Women Elementary ROok of In
structive Theology" physiology and
Calisthenics," and Common Sense APP
piled to Religion"

TOPICS FOR FARMERS.
Stock NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. agri

Stock NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. agri-
culture will date new era from the
discovery of cheap and safe method of
shipping its meat, fresh in the quarters,
for European consumption. 1t is not
simply the new market opened for our
meat that is so significant of future
profit, but it is the stimulus that this
will afford the American farmer to
study the best system of bookkeeping,
which must be the foundation of any
permanent system of profitable agricul-
ture. Any country that depends largely
upon the sale of the raw material of the
crops to be used in other countries to
feed their population or stock, is on the
sure road to deterioration and decay.
Stock feeding must be the great re-
ciprocating agency between produc-
ton and compensation of the soil. Ii
matters not how much production may
be stimulated if its compensation be
equally great. France and Germany
have learned to produce their immense
consumption of sugar from their own
soil by the culture of the sugar beet, and
yet both countries carry more stock
than before. The refuse of the beet
pulp, after the extraction of the sugar
contains all the valuable element taken
from the soil, and this, being fed to the
stock, returns them again to the soil
But suppose these beets had been sold
and shipped ont of the country, what
would have been the result during the
last half century?
This impetus given to cattle raising
in this country will soon show our farm
ers the folly of shipping ten pounds Of
corn at the price of one pounc
OF beef and paying the i'm
mense difference in transportation
out of their own pockets The
corn will be fed, the fertilizing elements
going back to the soil, and the concen
trated product exported at one-eighth
the cost with liberal profit. This
market comes also on just the right terms
to produce the best effect upon the char
acter of our agriculture. This beef
and mutton must be of the best
quality, or it cannot be sold except at 6
loss. The farmer, therefore, who would
feed stock for the foreign market mus
study how to produce the best animals
must study the whole subject of breeding
and feeding. This will be a powerful
incentive to education where mos
needed. Stock husbandry must here
after become one of the largest special
ties in our agriculture.

The Iowa Supreme Court has just de-
cided very interesting case touching
the legality of conditional pardon.
Kirkwood pardoned one Dick Arthur on
condition that he keep sober and refrain
from crime. Arthur violated the con-
ditions, was rearrested and released on
habeas corpus by Judge Newman. Gov
ernor Newbold appealed to the Supreme
Court, which now holds that a con-
ditional pardon can be issued, and, if
accepted by the convict and violated,
can be withdrawn and the sentence en-
forced. This is the first time the high
est Court has passed upon this question.
johnson County had such case with
Hockenberry, who was conditionally
pardoned, and afterward, upon proof
of violation, was made to serve out his
term.
