DO you consider him a stronger man
than Grant as far as the presidency is con-
cernedN
THE events of the last few years would
tend to make him stronger, The cry for
Grant il from those people who expect
Grant to do what he didn't do when he had
the opportunity namely: put down fraud
ana intimidation at the south They call
him the Iron Man, and tell what he would
do in certain cases don't see but what
the people settled the railroad riots without
the aid Of the government or the Iron
Man. The talk in relation to Grant and
Il strong government is made by rings,
the whisky rings whom he protected.
Grant did not steal himself, but he would
always protect his friends.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special TO the Times journal

Special 10 the Times journal
WASHINGTON, February l0.-Senator Kirk
woods report of the case of postmaster
Hays to the full committee on Thursday
will set forth that there are no charges
against him and that his management of the
office has been fully equal to that of his pre-
decessor and the president states that while
Mr., Fllley made a good officer, he was re-
moved from undue interference in politics
which resulted to the injury of the party.
The committe will report TIE case to the
senate on the 18th inst
MCREERY's SPEECH.
Senator M'Crcery's speech, urging the
transfer Of the Indian Bureau was won
dertul effort, and drew one OF the largest
audiences Of the session. The different re-
liglous denominations represented at the
Indian agencies came in for large share OF
ridicule, and their management was severely
criticised, and the ground taken that nc
policy could prove worse than the present
one.
INTER STATE COMMERCE.
There is a strong lobby here to secur,
the defeat of the interstate commerce bill
now pending in the committee ofcommerc,
of the senate. 1t is claimed that it discrimi
mates in favor of certain cities and operate
uniustly against certain class OF shipper
as it passed the house.
THE TEST OATH.
At the joint Democratic caucus to-nigl
it was finally determined that a resolutic
TO repeal the test oath for Jurors, and Il
law providing for supervisors and depu
marshals, should be tackled on to the gel
eral appropriation bill. The caucus w
harmonious and the Democrats EXPIRE
their determination to insist upon the pa
sage Of their measure.

A SOURCE or Much BODILY EvIL.-If
the habit body becomes irregular, much
evil is inflicted on the system. Tie stom-
ach becomes dyspeptic, bilious symptoms
develop themselves, the circulation is con-
taminated, and the nerves share in the gem
eral disorder. 1t is of the utmost Impor-
lance that the bowels should be thoroughly
and speedily regulated when they grow
derelict The corrective agent best adapted
TO this purpose is llostetter's Stomach Bit
ters Wholesome, non-griping vegetable
laxative, worth all the rasplng cathartics
invented since the time Of Paracelsus. Peo-
pie who have been in the habit of using
blue pills, calomcl, and other drugs and
cheap noStrums for constipation, should
abandon such hurtful and useless medicines
and substitute for them this pleasant and
gentle aperient, which not only produces
the purgative effect naturally, but also
strengthens while it regulates the bowels,
stomach and liver. 1t moreover cures and
prevents intermittent and remittent iievers,
govt, rheumatism, debility and urinary
troubles.

Large Farming a Precarious Business.

The following figures are given by q
San Francisco correspondent to Phila-
delphia paper, as evidence that farming
ON a gigantic scale is profitable neither TO
the country nor to the farmer. He says:
THE largest wheat producer in Califor-
mia, or in the world, is DIR. III. J. Glenn.
He was formerly from Monroe county,
Missouri. Heis man of great enterprise
and energy. His rancho lies in Colusa
county, and comprises 10000 acres,
nearly all arabic land. He has this year
45,0O0 acres in wheat, which, at q low
calculation, will produce 100000 bushels.
His wheat will sell for So cents per
bushel, or $765,000. DIR. Glenn has been
farming for ten years, and one would
suppose he ought to have a handsome
sum to his credit in bank; but what
with failure of crops-which occurs
two years in every five-and the enor-
nous interests he pays on his loans, he
is said to owe a round million of dollars.
Last year his credit was bad, as he had
no crop. Now, with his splendid crop
in prospect he will probably get out.
The Dalrimples of st. Paul, who, ten
years ago, were the largest farmers of
wheat in Minnesota, raising as much as
10000 bushels in single year, went to
the wall Another large wheat raiser is
d. M. Reavis, whose land lies on the
borders of Colusa and Butte counties.
He is also from Monroe county, Missou-
ri, and has an unpretending little estate
of 15, 900 acres, 1000 of which are in
wheat, which he thinks will average
this year 80 bushels, or 100000 bushels.
He is also hard pressed, and am told is
paying per cent. on couple of hun
dred thousand dollars of borrowed
money. If farmers raising half a mil
lion to million bushels of wheat cannot
get out of debt,it might be well to inquire
what is the use of having so much land?
The truth is that from the frequent
failure of crops in California and the
waste that attends on large operations
of that kind, farming on gigantic scale
in this portion of the Pacific coast must
be considered failure. North of this,
in Oregon and Washington Territory,
there is no failure of the harvest farm
ing operations are carried on on a
smaller scale, and consequently the
farmers, while not rolling in wealth,
are all well to do"

Watering Horses.

There is great diversity of opinion
as to how often horses should be water
ed during day, whether in summer or
in winter. We have an article now
before us of a writer of some distinction
as an agriculturist who advocates fre-
quent watering of working horses, as a
renewer of the vigor of the animals.
We cannot agree with him. We think
both man and beast are generally water
ed too much. Men and horses at hard
work in warm weather perspire just in
proportion to the quantity of fluid taken
into the stomach. Frequent drinking
in hot weather, according to our expert
ence, emasculates instead of freshens.
Some years ago, being at Cape May, in
driving out in one of the stand coaches
of the place, on very hot day, we asked
the driver how it was that his horses
perspired so little, while the horses of
private carriages, going at slower
speed, were covered with foam. He
replied that he watered his horses three
times day only, though he sponged
their mouths frequently; while the pri-
vate drivers watered their horses when
ever they stopped. He said, and it
seemed to us very sensible, that the
frequent watering of horses effected no
good purpose, while it made them very
uncomfortable and lethargic. Horses,
no matter what their work was, did not
need watering oftener than three times
day. Our own experience with horses
all our lives is to the same effect.
