The Commissioner of Agriculture, the
previous Congress having appropriated
SIC, 900 for that purpose, appointed .
number ofpersonAbelonging to the States
ofIndiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia
and New York, to investigate the nature
and cause of the disease that has proved
so fatal among the swine in the United
States. Almost every member of this
Commission has submitted an extended
report based on the results of his inves-
LEGATIONS. These reports the Commiss-
Toner of agriculture has had collected,
embodying all of the results in single
report, which will be submitted to the
present Congress. This report shows
that the disease is identical throughout
the country, but the term "hog cholera"
seems to be a misnomer, Is it appears
the lungs are always affected. This re-
port gives valuable information on. a
subject very little understood, and it is
hoped that this information may lead to
the checking of this disease which annu-
ally destroys such vast number ofhogs.
1t is not very encouraging to farmers to
feed corn to hogs and take their chances
against this disease and then get two
cents pound for their pork.

It il in order now for the newspapers
of the State to make suggestions to our
Representatives, and Senators in reference
10 legislative reforms that are needed.
Their number is legion, and it is to be
hoped that in codifying the laws many
of these reforms will be secured. but the
one most needed cannot be reached in
this way. We refer to the homestead or
exemption clause in the State Constitu-
ton. The clause perhaps was originally

lowed to have it. A man may be worth
thousands of dollars and yet take refuge
under this homestead act and refuse to
pay his debts. An exemption law, SET
ting apart reasonable amount Of prop.
erty not to exceed Eve or seven hundred
dollars in value, is no doubt desirable |;
but our present law gives too much aid
and comfort to those who desire to get
out of paying their just debts. If the
business men of the State would urge
this matter upon their representatives in
the legislature, this matter might be
submitted to . vote Of the people next
fall.

which our magazines are sold 10 . still

excellence, and contains one hundred

than seventy illustrations; many oil

advent of Scyibner appeared only in gift

ficult to end an illustrated book to
match it for IS. The subscribers for the
current year, get, in Seribner not only
four of these full PACED portraits Of
American poets. and nearly two thousand
pages of text (equal to 5000 book pages)
Of the choicest current literature, with
more than 1000 illustrations, including
. completed novel, "Haworths." by Mrs.
Burnett, bat shorter stories, poems, re.
views. descriptions of travel, biographical
sketches, etc., and also the splendid series
of papers and pictures of explorations in
the great South American empire Of
Brazil, delivered free of postage and all
for four dollars.
In childrens periodicals, too, America
leads the world with st. Nicholas. Prof.
Proctor, the astronomer, writes from
London: "What . wonderful magazine
it is for the young folksl Our children

ture, art and cheapness can 60 no further
but in this country intelligence is so
widespread, and artistic culture is SO ex.
tended, that there is scarcely any end to
the demand for such magazines as St.
Nicholas for children. and As the sale Of
these publications increases their con-
ductors will no doubt continue to add
new features of excellence and attraction.

paign of 1880 would be FRAUDS" as it
was at that time confidently expected
by Democrats that the Potter committee
would unearth such transactions on the
part of Republicans As would everlast.
ingly disgrace their party. But following
the sounding of this key note" by the
Ex-Governor, came the cipher dispatches
which changed the tune of Democratic
editors and orators, and has silenced even
the rank and file the great unwashed
in their denunciations of his "Fraudu.
lency," as they have been calling Presi-
dent Hays. And now that the Potter
committee, after its long and unsuccess.
full search for fraud in the Republican
ranks. has finally decided to attack q
genuine fraud in the shape of the cipher
dispatches, the Democrats are awaiting
the result of the investigation with in
terest. Whether this Democratic COM
mittee will put all the blame on Mr..
Tilden. or whether they will vindicate
him and sacrifice his co-partners in
crime, is a matter of indifference to the
Republicans. A resolution inviting Til.
den to be present in person and with
counsel was, by the Democratic members
of the committee. laid on the table. The
old gentleman perhaps wants to be "vin.
dicated," but doesn't want to take the
witness stand. And, rs it is purely q

bers of the investigating committee want
