SORGHUM OUTLOOK IN WIS
CONSIN.
BY PROF. w. A. HENRY.

What are the prospects for the COM
ing season is a question which ELECTS
far more interest than any enumer-
alton of, past advancements. Many
persons are about to invest consider
able sums of money for machinery,
buildings, and in planting large
acreage of cane. Will it pay the com
ing season as well as last 4? is the
question they would like to have
answered. It is a curious coincidence
that just at the time when the cream
cry system is being adopted in the
West, and the opportunity offers foI
the manufacture of a first-class quality
of butter in unlimited quantities, that
all sorts of imitation products as cleo
margarine, suine. ETC., should be put on
the market and the trade demoralized
Now, almost in the same way, just as
means appears by which syrup of a

WAsHINeroN. D. q. Nav 8. 1881.

WASHINGTON, d. G., May 6, 1881.
Since the breaking up of the dead
lock on Wednesday the senate has been
driving into the executive business in
manner that must be encouraging to
the prospective office-holders, and the
smallest consul or postmaster may
hope for favorable action of the senate
upon his case before the final adjourn
ment. The Chinese immigration and
commercial treaties have been ratified,
the chief opposition to the former be-
ing Senator Hoar, who considers the
restriction of immigration contrary to
the spirit of our institutions. But,
nevertheless, only four votes were cast
against it. The commercial treaty was
unopposed.
OF the many nominations acted upon
the following are the most important
Robert Il. Hit, assistant secretary of
state; hiram Price, commissioner of
Indian affairs; A. w. Jones, commits
sioner for the northern district of Him
OILS; and VIM. Walker Phelps, minister
to Austria. Combinations of consuls.
postmasters, and army ana navy pro-
motions have been made without num-
Der.
In receding from their ayoWed pur-
pose of not allowing the consideration
of public business until the election of
the senate officers, the republicans
claim not to have surrendered the
cause, and publicly announce that as
soon as the executive businessis out of
the way, to take UP the cudgel again.
While this is the formal purpose of
the republican caucus, many Of the
senators will not deny that the hold
ing of executive sessions now means a
postponement of the election of officers
until next winter.
BY far the greatest event of the Ses-
sion was the message of the President
to the senate yesterday withdrawing
all the New Y ork nominations recon-
mended by Senator Conkling. The
President has evidently becomerout of
patience with the New York senator
for his opposition to the confirmation
of Judge Robertson, whose nomination
is not withdrawn, and intends to trifie
no longer. 1t begins to look as though
Senator Conkling has called down upon
his shoulders more weight than he can
carry. No one wants to see him
crushed, though little humbling of
him would please many republicans.
The democrats are happy over this
promised rupture in the republican
ranks, and, with their usual haste, are
building much upon it.
The National Fair association.
which set apart this week for its spring
races, is having, between the weather
and an unappreciative public, hard
time. Many fine horses are here, and
much of the society's money has been
spent to make the meeting success.
But on Tuesday. the commencement
day, it rained, and the races for that
day were postponed until Wednesday.
Thursday was a good day overheard,
but poor at the box Office. To-day it
rains. Tomorrow, the last day, the
course will be deep with mud. 1t
seems strange, but none the less true,
that Washington, willingly as it pat
ronizeS other amusements, cannot sup

Legislative acts to restrict or prohib.
it the sale of liquor are peculiar in
their mode of dealing with the ques-
ton this year. The anti-treating law
of Wisconsin has gone the rounds and
been SO heartily kicked and cuffed
about that it can barely stand alone
A Milwaukee judge sits down on il
and pronounces itnull and void. The
papers revile it. 1t is exposed to ridi-
cule and contempt on all sides, and in.
observance everywhere. Can't some
enterprising and original legislator
bring forward some kind of bill on
this veXed question that will suit all
parties? 1t wants to be one of the be.
tt0irt and beta0ee11 sort, you know
one upon which the temperance man
and the liquor man, shaking hands
across the bloody chasm, ma pronounce
in one voice, the plaudit, "them's
my sentiments, too" Now, the anti
treating law is bad law bad for the
saloon keeper and bad for the habitual
imbiber who, by tending strictly to
business, could get a free drink every
now and then. In fact, it is one
sided affair, having in direct object the
grief of that down-trodden man, the
saloon keeper. Besides it restricts per.
sonal liberty. Personal liberty should
never be restricted, even if the person is
maniac tearing around with an Ak
in his hand. The law is contrary to
American institutions. Treating is
an American institution. The very
bones of our fathers cry out against it
These are only a few of the objections
we might raise to the law. The main
one is, that the saloon keeper and his
customers don't want it. 1t is bad for
them. Their wishes should be consult
ed in matter that relates so directly
to their welfare and happiness.

consin in her mode of dealing with the
question. She has passed law recuir-

The coming volumes of the census
report are to be very elaborate ones
The map work which was introduced
into the census volumes ten years ago
as an experiment, and incidentally, is
to form a very important feature of
the coming volumes. The work on
these volumes vii! lie largely the
work Of specialists ON the various
topics. A great amount Of labor is
being spent to bring out the minutest
details on all the important subjects
and represent them with great exact
ness to the eye upon the maps. The
subjects. +" forestry" population by ma

but will prove of great value. AS re-
ference books in schools, colleges, and
libraries, they will prove Invaluable.

If he refused, the contractor would fail
to perform the service and be reported

would be awarded to the next lowest

ing contractors. He, Funk and Capon

defraud the United States by the exc
cution of worthless bonds. 1t is

Inefo Is no longer DEADLOCK III the
Senate. On the contrary, the promise
of free fight between Mr.. Conkling
and the administration is very en-
couraging. The President has with
drawn all the New York nominees,
who are personal friends of Mr.. Conk-
ling, and whose appointment was Sc
cured by his influence, and proposes to
hold the fort till he sees what will be
done with Robertson. This act was at
first interpreted as a throwing down of
the gauge of battle to Mr.. Conkling,
but better understanding of the Pres-
ident's motives robs it of any such
character. The President simply re-
fuses to put powder and ball into Mr..
COnkling's hands to be used againsthis
administration. 1t is a measure of
self-defense, and one he is entitled to
honorably use. He had either to sub
nit to Mir. Conkling's dictates and with
draw the nomination of Robertson OF
insist upon the nominations being
brought before the Senate for consider
alton. The withdrawal of these names
which include all the appointments
made Of New York men, Robertson
excepted, is merely an expression that
the President will not put into any
bodY's hands the means of waging war
against him That this measure will
be considered declaration of war by
the Conkling men cannot be doubted,
after the signs of blind devotion they
have shown to their great leader.
There have been just two ways open
for the establishment of harmony be-
tween Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Conkling.
One, for Mr.. Garfield to withdraw the
appointment of Robertson, and the
other for Mr.. Conkling to move his
confirmation, OF put no obstacle in the
way of his confirmation other than
that he is entitled to as a member of
the Senate. The appointing power lies
in the President. 1t is the Senate's
privilege to confirm or reject these
appointments. Mr.. Conkling is one
humble member of that body, and for
him to assume to dictate in the matter
upon an Office that is SO national in it's
character, whatever he may have done
to further Mr. Garield's election, seems
unwarranted. The talk and thought
of Mr.. Conkling's friends, during every
stage of the controversy, have been for
the President to withdraw the nomin-
alton in the interest'of harmony. Is
Mr.. Conkling, then, to be considered
an angry bull, whose food is the pat
ronage of office in the state of New
York, whose appetite must be appeas-
ed at any cost to the dignity and in
dividuality Of the chief executive, in
whom these appointments are vested !?
Such is the character his friends would
seem to put upon him. 1t is not the
President that has needed persuading.
He saw no grounds for the withdrawal
of the nomination other than that it
was distasteful to Mr. Conkling. The
New York people are not opposed to
the confirmation of Robertson. The
almost unanimous ratification of the
state legislature could never have been
secured had this been the case. Let
Mr. Conkling's friends, who are so
anxious for harmony in the party,
turn their persuasive arts upon their
leader. He is the
one who needs to be looked to in bring
ing about harmonious relations in the
Republican ranks.

1t is reported that the President in
tends to lay hold of the Mormon ques-
ton very soon. The recent arrival of
Il large body of converted Mormons
from European countries, and the de-
parture Of forty elders to obtain new
acquisitions of this character, demand
that something be done promptly, if
the President intends to carry out
what he proposes in his inaugural. 1t
is not Mormonism, but polygamy that
is distasteful to the public and con-
trary to our laws. The passage of a
firm law, forbidding the practice by
MormOns or any other class, on reli-
gious or any other grounds, would
probably stop it. Let it be forbidden
ut once. One of the modes proposed is
for the President to issue a special
proclamation forbidding it. Another
is to control and reduce it by withhold
ing state patronage and appointing
non-Mormon officials in Utah. The
former is much the better plan in our
humble estimation. Polygamy needs
to be stepped upon-put out of exist
ence completely. There is nothing
that would SAVIOR Of religious persecu-
ton in such an act, Laws with ref
erence to this subject existed long be-
fore MOcmoniSm. Such a blot ought
not to be allowed to exist upon the
character of the country. If the Nor
mons wish to practice polygamy let
them get outside of the United States
territory. They don't belong here.
They have fastened themselves upon
our soil, a mangled sore to the good
taste of the people at large. There is
not the shadow of a claim that they
are entitled to establish themselves
here and engage in practices contrary
to our laws and public opinion of de-
cency. The world is broad. Let them
find other territory and get on to it as
soon as possible, and get upa constitu-
ton and system of laws in which
polygamy is obligatory, if they want to-
Any measure that will abolish forever
the further practice of polygamy in
United States territory will be ioyfully
received by those who have any pride
in our Institutions.

General Superintendent Of the
Southern Pacific Railway, with D
view to obtaining favorable freight
rates for the transportation of our
fruits East. Mr.. Towne met the
Committee In the most liberal
spirit. He not only pledged the
Southern Pacific to hearty co.
operation with the views OF our
citizens, but he said that be had
dispatched an agent East to as
sure fruit cars, Instead of box-cars,
from the connecting lines. The
HERALD has never hesitated to
express the opinion that God, ma
ture and common sense dictate an
emphatic entente oordiale bet ween
the Southern Pacific and the city
and county of Los Angeles. While
the fruition Of our hopes was for
some time delayed, and while
there was a brief reaction follow
ing the completion Of the Southern
Pacific to Los Angeles, Its extern
sion to Arizona and New Mexico
has been attended with the best
results ever anticipated by our peo.
pie. Whenever this journal inter-
posed a Modifying word against
demagogIo appeals intended to
ALLEVIATE this community from an
enterprise which was to crown 1t
with success, it's editor has been
met with gross aspersions. The
most temperate word Of protest has
been wrested into subserviency to
the railway, while the fact is that
we have never sought favors from
any quarter, and have been SIM
ply impelled by q genuine sense of
Justice. However it may be with
other communities, every dictate
of common sense points to a cor
dial alliance between Los Angeles
and the Southern Pacific Railway,
just as the most ordinary sagacity
points to our encouraging every
competitive railway, on the
American continent, which
heads this way, to select
either Wilmington or Santa
Monica as its Pacific ocean ter
minus. We are not without hope
that the singular consistency and
manliness of the HERALD. its alb.
sence from cranky moods aud cpl
sodes, and Its entire devotion to
the real interests of Los Angeles
county and of Southern California,
will some day be recognized.
| While we have been courteous 10
corporations that we regard as
prime factors 10 the development
of this section, there has not been
a day In which we controlled the
HERALD that we would not have
thrown over all the corporations on
this continent on any point where
the real interests Of our townsmen
were concerned. Desiring to see
Los Angeles prosperous and rich,
we hail with special qualification
