The Russian police captured Nihilist
printing press the other day, and, at the same
time, a number of Nihilist documents. Among
these was the programme Of the Nlhilist ex-
ecutive committee, which shows exactly what
the Russian revolutionists are aiming at.
The programme commences with the declara-
ton that the Russians are tyrannically OPP
pressed and that the only way BY which they
can free themselves is by revolution. The
Nihilists propose to overthrow the govern
ment by force and to transfer the reins OF
power to an assembly Of organization, elected
by all the Russians. without distinction of
class Or property. Their general policy Is de-
clared to be: Popular representation; local
eelf-government; the transfer Of the factories
to the workingmen; liberty Of conscience.
Of speech, Of the press, Of public meetings.
associations and electoral agitation, universal
suffrage and the replacement OF the stand-
ing army by territorial army. With the
exception OF the plank proposing to hand
over the factories 70 the laborers employed Ia
them, which smacks Of Socialism,. this is good
democratic doctrine.

THE CALIFORNIA TROUBLE.

A wide field is afforded for the operations
OF demagogues by the senseless and often
criminal agltations in which the sturdy la
boring man Ii arrayed In hostility to the cap
italist The truth liz, as Is evident to every
Intelligent and reasoning man, that capital
and labor are mutually dependent the one
upon the other, the former Is unavailable
without the latter, and labor to be effective
and productive OF the best results must have
the assistance Of capital. This truth Ia
and must have penetrated even
the dull recesses OF the brain OF Dennis
Kearney, but the truth Is precisely what your
blatant demagogue Is afraid OF and what he
most earnestly seeks to obscure from the
vision Of his followers. Where labor is exor-
bitantly high capital will not seek invest
profitable fields; and where capital Is unrea-
sonably exacting labor will not 60 or long
remain. .5-....u5
The great trouble and principal cause Of
disturbance In California at the present time
Is chat there Is more labor than can be profit
ably employed. California has an immense
amount Of capital, but much Of this is en-
ployed In mining operations beyond the
limits OF the State, In Arizona, Nevada, Idaho.
Montana and Utah, and as the lands Of the
State are held, speculatively, In large bodies,
the sum invested In them Is necessarily with
held from other uses. Then, too, since the
opening up Of railroad communication across
the continent, every train has conveyed Its
hundreds to that State, and "great expecta-
TONS have filled the minds Of the eager thou
sands who have sought homes and fortunes
In the land Of gold. Most Of the fortune
hunters have pushed on to San Francisco.
and the result Is that that city contains about
one-fourth the population Of the entire State.
This circumstance alone Is sufficient to create
disquietude, and when 1t Is observed that
vicious demagogues have sought and are still
seeking to gain political preferment by pander-
ing to the lowest andwildest passions Of the I'M
employed, 1t Is not strange that affairs present
an aspect somewhat threatening. But there
seems to be just enough method about the
madness OF Kearney to save himself and his
followers from the destruction which would
inevitably follow any high. handed acts Of VIC
lenoe, and hence we do not anticipate any out
break that cannot readily be suppressed. The
protection Of property is demanded alike by
capital and labor, and both the rich and poor
are interested in the maintenance Of order
and the enforcement Of the laws. A disregard
Of property rights will always be speedily fol-
lowed by violation OF personal rights and
the overthrow Of personal liberty.

question whether the name Of that State
should be pronounced Arkansas or Arkansaw.
The natives prefer the latter orthnpy, while
the Missourians and Kansans say Arkansas.
Kansas and Arkansas are really both the
same name. It 80 happened that the latter
was first discovered and settled by the
French. who neglected, as In Tensas and SINH

mendations: A reorganization OF the general

MILK AS POULTRY FOOD.-We have
been trying milk as poultry food during
the winter and can confidently recon-
mend it to villagers and farmers who
keep one or more COWS for family use.
Where butter is made and skim milk is
plenty, it is very valuable addition to
the fare of the poultry yard. One main
difference between winter and spring
laying is owing to the absence of ami
NAL food in winter. The milk supplies
this, and is devoured with eagerness.
The skim and buttermilk may be
poured into the feeding trough, and
kept constantly by the fowls, or it may
be mixed with scalded meal OF various
grains. Indian meal is good ration
once day, but it should be varied with
oat or rye meal, and with whole grain
of wheat, buckwheat, or barley. In a
warm room with good southern eX-
poaure, and plenty of light, there is no
difficulty in getting plenty of eggs from
early pullets, and this is the time when
eggs ere of great market value. Later
in the season, when the broOds come of,
milk which will then be more abundant,
will be az excellent feed for chickens,
turkeys, and all kinds of young poultry,
and will give quite as good returns as
when fed to pigs.-Anaerac0n Agracast-

ODE TO A RIGHT WHALE.

Thou floating island of the heaving ocean,
Oh, balleen whale, with skin of India rubber!
Art thou Greenlander or Nova Scotian?
In what far sea didst thou collect thy blub-
Der,
And on what grazing bank vert thou grub
Der?
Where dwelt the victims of thy slow ferocity.
Thou most preposterous and uugainly lub'
Der?
Upon my soul thou art a curiosity,
A mountain of superfluous adiposity!
Thou art equipped for efforts gustatory;
Thou eatest cod-but this is reciprocity.
For Gods eat minnows-'tis the ancient story
With wrathful carnage all the sea is CORY.
Thy caudal weapon of determination
Beats modern dynamite to lift lory;
Thine awful mouth is not for conversation,
But to suck herring, shrimp, and small crus
Through whalebone sleeves to serve thy roya
dinner.
Three tons of mackerel are one days ration;
And many fish, in life a mere beginner,
Is suddenly transported to the inner
Recesses of thy being, oh, cetacean!
Oh, thou luxurious and gluttonous sinner!
Thourt not a fish, thou marvel of zoology;
In spite OF inns and aqueous regal1a.
We cannot class thee under ichthyology,
Whether from Labrador or far Australia,
For thou belongest,to the group mammalia-
"Viviparous, warm blooded, great agility
With huge brain that calls for an apology
For its slight intellectual ability,
Thou mountain pated scandal of phrenology
Thy liquid carbon erewhile rendered luminou
Each gloomy cot and palace of the planet,
Till GOLFERS, boring into beds bituminous,
Pumped from the seas within the walls
granite
Great stores of oil, and into barrels ran it.
AS lamplighter, lowly is thy station;
And yet thy whalebone plates, some eighty
four set,
Give after death pleasant occupation,
For, in the clasp of the elastic corset,
Thou huggest all the women in creation!

DOMESTIC HAPPINESs.-Domestic
happiness might be secured if both the
husband and wife would agree between
themselves-and faithfully abide by the
agreement-never, under any provoca-
ton, to utter recriminatory or harsh
word or, if one of the parties, in a mo-
ment Of Impotence, does speak harshly,
let the other reply only in the tones and
language of devoted kindness. If they
cannot speak in the words of friendship
and love, let them for the time being
study the virtue of silence. We say if
they cannot; but it is, indeed, alament
able condition of domestic peace when
silence is the only means by which dis
putes and quarrelling are averted. Hus-
band and wife should converse together

seat in his earnestness. Whereupon a
