The discussion as to the possibility I'M
der our constitution OF prime minister
with the power but not the name OF presi-
dent is fast developing into the settled
opinion that the thing % impossible. The
emergency is certainly upo2 rs. but the
remedy is not forthcoming That Ffesl-
dent Garfield is totally unable to transact
his official duties, is unfortunately only too
evident; the probable effect OF the vice
president performing them for him, would
be the elevation to the presiding OF Chester
A. Arthur; a thing to be dreaded by dem
ocrats If not by republicans. The decision
in the Tyler case was that the vice-presl'
dent succeeded to the presidential duties
he became president and that PRECEDENT has
been followed ever since. A temporary
president seems to be impossible under oul
constitution. That the demand is a serious
one is evident. but there seems little chance
of any action being taken.

1t seems but short time ago that the

said to be defeated; that Conkling Gamer

other similis you wish; and f'Possisni" was
stated to have gone to the eternal pow
vows But somehow or other there seems
to have been q resurrection and the old
leaders once more prance to the front. At
the meeting of the republican State Cen
trail Committee of New York, ConklinS
secured victory, and now Cameron has
again shown his grip on the party in Penn
sylvania. The state Republican Convention
met Thursday last to nominate candidate
for State Treasurer. Until two weeks ago
there was but one candidate Senator Davies
who was supposed ODE satisfactory to the
entire party. But it seems Davis was moi

Gen, Grant told a reporter of the Inter
Ocean that he is of the opinion that it
would be well for the Cabinet and the ply
sicians of the President to take charge OF
the duty which the Constitution devolves
upon the Weep PRESIDENT, and to put Gener-
al Arthur into the executive chair in q
manner 'sabout which there would be moth
ing legal.

The Union is advocating sort OF double
acting tariff which win work in two diam
critically opposite ways. A tariff which
viii secure protection to our manufacturers
OF the one hand, and on the other produce
revenue. The idea is an ingenious one
certainly, so ingenious that it leads one to
suppose that it did not have its origin in
the Union office, but there Is one defect
It is impossible.
Goods sold at a certain price are sold at
either profit, or else at loss. Ii it costs
five dollars to manufacture certain artl-
Gle and place it on the market, il sold for
one cent less than that sum, it is sold at
loss, if sold for one cent more it is at
profit.
Now if the tariff is to be productive OF
revenue it must low enough to allow foreign
goods to be sold in our market in compcti-
ton with our home manufacturers at
profit. If they cannot be sold at profit
there will be no importation, and therefore
no revenue.
If the tariff is to be of any protection to
our home manufacturers, it must prevent
foreigners from being able to compete with
them at a profit. If the tariff IS high
enough to make the cost of an imported
article in New York six dollars, when the
home made article can be bought for five,
there is protection to the American, but
very little chance of the foreign article be
ing imported to any alarming extent.
Hence, if the tariff is to be protective 1t
must prevent foreign goods from being
sold here at profit, if the foreigner at
tempts to meet our figures.
In regard to the revenue derived from
the tariff, it is from goods either not pro
duced in this country, or else from articles
which are manufactured abroad so much
better than they are here, that people
who can afford it prefer to pay
the increased price. But the things
which the poor man needs
which he must have, are all kept out 10
purpose OF keeping up the prices of our
homemade goods. and paying bonus to
the American manufacturer. A little com
petition would do the latter some good
The Union writer makes one good state
ment when he says that revenue is the
essential motive and justification of taxa
ton in any form" The present tariff is
q form of taxation: By keeping
up the prices of necessaries it directly tax
es the farmer and the laborer and profes-
sional man; in fact, everyone that uses
the manufactured articles, not for the sup
port of the State, which is the "only mo-
tive and justification of taxation in any
FORM" but for the purpose OF paying
bonus to men to carry on business WHICH
they say would not be profitable without Il
That is where the main taxation comes IN
and according to the Union writer there Is
no motive or justification for it, II the
law compels me to pay one dollar more
than otherwise would have to, for any
article have to have, to the manufacture
it taxes me just as clearly as If it compel
ed me to pay it to the Treasurer OF the
county.
Such taxation the free-trader claims i
wrong and should be abated. The either
is bound to support the State, but not in
dividuals or corporations.

Queer Industries in New York,

The investigations of the census men have
led to some queer developments in the man
ufactories of New York and adjoining cities.
The largest single industry in New York is
that of custom made clothes. The making
of paper patterns employs hundreds of
hands, and ten large houses being engaged
in it, uses tons of paper. There are factor
les for making dried blood, the dummies
that milliners use to show dresses on, theat-
rical armor, and jewsharps. The use of
adulterating substances is getting to be gen.
eral. CASTLE soap is made OF grease and
terra alba, or white earth, and white earth
is largely used in candy making. Glucose,
which is corn starch, is used heavily by the
sugar refners. There is firm engaged in
making honey and honey comb. The hon
ey-cemb is made by machinery of paraffire
wax, and is an exact imitation of the regu-
lar thing, except that the bees fashion their
cells of walls only 1-125th of an inch wide,
while human artifcers have not yet become
that deft The cells are filled with glucose,
which is the sweet strip of common corn,
and looks and tastes like honey. The cells,
once filled, are closed by smearing a hot
iron plate over the wax tops, and the pro-
duct is sold as the ''best clover honey" 1t
is in great demand, and outsells the regular
honey. Gallons and gallons of the best
tomato catsup are made from the tomato
skins which arc purchased from the great
tomato canning establishments.

The Care Of Stock.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
Never place large amount Of coarse fod-
der before an animal at one time. Divide
each feeding into two or three feelings, but
make it continuous: that is as fast as they
clean up what is before them, give them
little more, until you think they have eaten
enough for one time; then clean the manager,
and, if you do not turn them out, allow
them to stand until the hour for the next
feeding with nothing before them. Have
regular hours for giving the food, and vary
from them as little as possible. Do not fall
into the habit of giving little every time
you go to the stable, and especially avoid
the mistaken kindness of those who 60 out
and give last foddering just before they
90 to bed at night. Go to the barn then, if
you will, and see that all is snug for the
night, but do not offer any food then.
Remember that the night was not
made for eating, but for sleeping,
and unless absolutely necessary do,
not feed at unreasonable hours of
evening or morning. Apply these rules to
all stock, whether horses, oxen, sheep or
swine, as well as to the mich cows. See
that the stables are well lighted, well ven
tilated, and for all excepting the sheep,
warm enough SO that water will not freeze
in them upon the coolest day. Sheep bear
cold weather well, and require so much
ventilation that it is difficult to main
tain the temperature above freezing
without having the air impure or
unwholesome. See also that they have
dry and soft bed upon which to sleep.
Plenty of bedding is as important to the
animals under your care as to yourself, and
a comfortable nights rest is as necessary to
tleir thrift as it is to your health. Study
the quality Of food that you have, and If it
is not such as is adapted to the product that
you desire, improve it by the addition of
such other material as viii supply the ele-
ment lacking in what you have.

C0rned Beef and Picked Pork.

From the New York Sum-
CORNED BEEF-You ask for recipe for
putting up corned beef SO that it will keep
in warm climate like that of Texas. This
is rather difficult, because if the cask of
corned beef is kept in a warm place in sum-
mer, it is certain to spoil: but if you have a
deep, cool cellar in which to store it there
will be no danger of losingit if put up as
follows: To every 100 pounds of beef use
six pounds salt, four ounces of saltpetIe,
four ounces saleratus, and two pounds of
brown sugar. Dissolve in water sufficiently
to cover the meat we'll after it is tightly
packed in barrels. Put stone on top of
the meat, to prevent the pieces from float
ing as it is taken out from time to time for
use.
PICKLED PoRK.-If you have good
cool cellar in which to keep your pork bar
rels, there need be no difficulty about pre-
serving picked pork. But if the cellar
becomes hot in summer, or the pork is set
in some out building where the temperature
will range from 60 to 100 degrees i'll sum-
mer, the brine will certainly turn sour and
the pork become rancid. All that is neces-
sary is an abundance of good clean salt, and
water added sufficient to cover the pork in
the barrel. Some persons add little salt
petre, but it is unnecessary for the preser-
walton of the meat. We have published
several recipes for sailing pork and hams
within the past month or two, but to keep
the pork cool is quite important, as we'll as
difficult, in hot climates.

Gen. Schofield on Cadet Whitaker.

Major General Schofeld, commandant at
West Point when the Whitaker affair oc-
Cured, testified the other day at the trial of
Whitaker:
The general said that during the court of
inquiry his whole desire had been to estab-
lish the innocence of Cadet Whitaker, be-
cause he was, said the witness, young
man under my charge and consequently
entitled to all the protection 1 could give
him, and because had retained him at the
academy in opposition to the unanimous
opinion of the academic board. In regard
to general order No. H. the witness in re-
ply to point to which Gov. Chamberlain
called his attention, said he did not
think the basis of the order had been the
conclusion of the cadets testimony, but that
the basis of the order had been the time
of that examination. The witness knew the
testimony of the cadets before the court Of
inquiry would be the same as had been be-
fore the commandment, and the result would
be the exoneration of the entire corps OF
cadets, and upon this knowledge the order
was based. The witness had given instruc-
tons to be published until the examination
of the cadets was concluded, but it might
have been published before the order re-
ferred to by the witness. It was the order
restoring cadets to certain privileges OF
which they had been deprived in conse-
quence of infmction of discipline by some
Of the corps, and in this order Gen. Scho-
field congratulated the corps that the result
of the court of inquiry had completely ex-
onerated them from completely in the
Whitaker outrage, and expressed firm
belief in their innocence.
