WHEN a live issue is fairly pre-
sented, confronting you, and must be
acted on, an issue which plainly has
a right side and a wrong side, heark
en- to the admonitions of y0ar o,on
conscience. Take counsel of the in
visible spirit of right which dwells
within you. Whose conscience
should you obey; yours, or somebody
elses? The question is before you,
for you to decide. Then, in Gods
name, decide right, even if poverty,
obscurity and contempt of men be
your certain reward, as you fear, but
which in this enlightened day and

to do right for the sake Of the right.

Dark Swine Preferred

Some forty odd years ago, When |
first began to execute orders given
me by the Southern planters, they
required, with rare exception, white
swine. / told them the dark color
ed would prove the most hardy and
thrifty for their hot climate, the
same as negroes over white men.
But | could at first persuade only a
few 10 adopt my opinion and take
Berkshire, Essex or Neapolitan in
preference to Suffolk, Prince Albert,
Yorks ire, Irish Grazier and Chester
Count these last FIVE being the
popular white pigs Of that day But
my Southern friends soon found
that all Of these FIVE were subject to
scarf, mango and other disagreeable
cutaneous diseases, which the black
or dark spotted pigs escaped entire
ly. and always wore q healthy, clean,
glossy hide. The planters then be
gan to change their orders, and in
course Of a few years would scarcely
accept white pigs from the North, ei
even the finest breeds, as a Gift. In
most other parts ofthe United States
a deep prejudice prevailed against
black and dark spotted swine, and
few would breed them. Pork pack
ers were especially opposed to them
because, they said, the skin was
dark, and yet this would generally
scrapc to white when they came to
dress it. However, time went or,
and as breeders gradually found out
North, East aud West the same OBJ
iections to white swine which had
taken place in the South. they be-
gan rapidly to change the color of
their stock, and now few white hogs
are found in the Chicago or other
great markets Of the West. the gen.
eral run being on Berkshire, the
Poland China and Essex. Indeed.
SO much more favorably are dark
colored swine now considered there.
that they have been gradually breed
ing ont the white spots of the first
two sorts above, and now they are
almost entirely black or very dark
brow ike the Essex and Neapoli-
tan. All these swine are very thrifty
and mature early. The Berkshire
and Poland China are especially
hardy-can endure any extreme of
climate, from the coolest to the hot
test. The Berkshire is famous for
It's larger proportion OF tender, lean,
Juicy meat, and is consequently pre-
lerred for smoked hams, shoulders
and bacon. The three other sorts
cut up choice, clear, fat pork, which
IS most desirable to salt and barrel.

a Horrible Murder Confessed.

CINCINNATI, O., December pa
special from Gore, Ohio, says the
authorities placed guard about the
house of Mrs. Terrell, who was as
sassinated last night, to prevent the
obliteration of the tracks of the as
sassin. As soon as daylight came
they found the tracks and traced
the assassin to the residence Of Mr..
Arnold, farmer, and arrested Nor
gan Richards, one of Arnold's farm
hands. as the criminal. tie was
armed with a revolver which had
one empty chamber. He resisted
arrest, but was overpowered and
placed in a wagon and driven rapid
ly to Logan. barely escaping lynch
ing party that tried to head him off.
No motive for the crime has been
developed. A later dispatch says !:
Morgan Richards has confessed the
murder of Mrs. Terrell, his mothers
sister. He says the deed was owing
TO an old grudge. The victims son
William is serving a life sentence in
the Ohio Penitentiary for killing
three persons four years ago. Mr..
Terrell died OF grief for his sons
crime two years ago. There is a
theory that Richards shot his aunt
to prevent her revealing what she
knew about others implicated in her
sons crime. Richards is a young
man and has taken unusual interest
in the Guiteau trial, particularly in
what Guiteau says. A few days
ago he bought a revolver, remarking
that it was the same kind as that
which Guiteau used. From this it
is supposed that he committed the
for notoriety. There are
still threats oflynching him.

Until within the last five days we

ofSouth Carolina; but the new year
brings a temperature and snowfall
that has set the Oldest inhabitant
taking.
The House met on Thursday and,
after a brief session, adjourned until
Monday, but the session, brief as it
was, was sufficiently long for Mr..
0rth, of Indiana, to express bis in
dignation and protest at being ig-
nored in the formation of important
committees. This Is the beginning,
and the forty-seventh Congress will
not hear the end Of the very general
dissatisfaction with Speaker Keiier's
committee mechanism. For the
last ten or fifteen years there has
been feeling among legislators that
the system of naming the personel
of committees by the Speaker con-
centrated TOO much power III the
hands of one man. So long, how
ever, as the Speaker followed the
rule of recognizing as far as possible
the leaders of the House and placing
them on important committees,
there had been no emphatic protest;
but now comes Speaker Keifer, ig-
noring all precedents and nearly all
the recognized leaders, causing great
dissatisfaction in both rank and file,
and in both parties. Mr.. Springer,
of Illinois, will, in q few days, offer
a resolution setting forth that un-
known and inexperienced men have
been assigned to important commit
tees, while older members, and those
familiar with legislation and the
rules of the House, have not only
been gagged by being placed on I'M
important committees, but that they
have been removed from important
committees where they have long
served and that their efficiency as
legislators has been conspicuously
and wantonly impaired; that the ac-
ton Of the Speaker is not so much
a personal aifront as it is a wrong to
their constituents and the country,
whose interests demand the best
ability and most mature experience,
or, in other words, that tools shall
not be given to bunglers, buttothose
who can use them. The feeling oil
dissatisfaction among members is by
no means confined TO Mr. Orth or to
Democrats. 1t is shared by the
friends of Mr.. Orth and of Mr. Kas-
son, and is prevalent among the
Western, the Eastern, the Southern,
the New England, and the New
York delegations. 1t needs no pro-
phet to predict that, with the intense
feeling existing, the forty-seVenth !
Congress viii not be a dove cote, or
the Speakers chair bed Of roses.
