changed so that both ends opened into the

throkgh she found herself still i'm the
same field from whence she started. turning
ROUND she reversed the coarse through the
log, hpt emerging from the other end she
lookedarOund with bewildered air and
found the passage through the log no
longer led to the corn field, and with a
knowing grIInt the old sow left, never to
repeat the experiment. The railroads have
laid the political log, SO that when the peo-
pie march through i'm November they will
find themselves on the same side of the
fence from whence they started. st. John
has conducted us twice through the same
log. The railroads have placed him again
at the head of. the procession which is
mraching for the old log, and the st. John
antl-monopoly papers are shouting, this is
the way through.

What the general Government ought to
do in order to protect the meat production
OF the West, is to withdraw so much OF
the public domain across the western bo,-

and declare it national highway, over
which Texas cattle may pass at all seasons
OF the year, andcompel tlro, gh cattle to
travel it and no other route. This will he

Some of the expressions OF Englishmen
ana English papers when speaking of
sneep OF certain ages are puzzlers to their
American cousins. For instance when an
Engilshman speaks of 'hoggete he means
wether in his second year. .sewe-hog-
g" is yonng eve that has never been
snorn; ''gimmer" is a eve once sheared !:
"two-shear-ewe" is one in her second
snelrlng year, a 'three-shear-ewe is one mi
her third shearing year, etc.; keeping a
running" stock means the practice of
buying eve lambs to keep up the flock,
and selling with all the produce; aflying"
eve stock is one kept where the ewes are
bonght annually and sold after they have
bronght>a lamb. People who stalk United
States" are strangers to nearly all of these
terms.

''Since the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe company took control of the old L., l..
and G. road, now known as tile Kansas
City, Lawrence and Southern Kansas, it is
coming into great prominence; many i'm
provements have been made and the busi-
ness it is doing is much better than it has
ever had before. We learn that its traffic
for June, July and August, this year was
some go per cent. greater than In the same
period last year No small share of its
prosperity is due to the intelligent, ener-
getic work done by Mr.. S. B. Hynes, gen.
eral freight and passenger agent, who has
succeeded in imbuing his employees with
very much of his own push and politeness,
and as consequence people find it both a
pleasure and profit to do business with the
corporation which he and they represent

road men so often delight i'm giving to
seekers after information find no favor with
Mr.. Hynes, and his subordinates are re-
quired to treat all with respectful consider
alton or seek situations elsewhere. The
entire 400 miles Of this road are being inn
proved and made first-class.''

100000 acres in northern Dikotl, with

They have formed Civil Service Reform

they ask the candidate if he thinks reform

Offices should be given members of con-
gress, or should competitive examinations
be the rule T? should members of congress
promise position for political support ?
should political preferences have weight in
the appointment or removal of subordi-
mates! should political assessments be made
underelny circumstances should an officer
or clerk be removed for paying such an
assessment? should federal office holder
assume prominence in or control of a DO
litical campaign? is it necessary for a meri-
toriouS party in power, or justifiable for
any party in power, to levy political assess
ments for the purpose of perpetuating its
own supremacy does NOT the boss system
in party tactics more than counterbalance
any practical or theoretical benefit posi-
sible from the spoIls system? and finally
this question is asked: ''What is your gen

tical methods of civil service reform; and
what support will you give this movement

A Jewell county farmer says that chinch
bugs thrive where the prairie grass is burn
ed. He concludes that in moist localities
where the grass is never burned and where
it so mulches the ground that 1t is always
moist, there are no bugs; but where the
grass is short, and where it is burned off
every year, the bugs can always be found
IN countless numbers. He argues that if
the grass was never burned that in "a few
years the whole country would be mlllcheti
aud kept moist; that drouths would cease
and chinch bugs disappear.

The grass became so dry aud indigestible
that in the absence of plenty, and conven-
lent drinking water the manifolds of the
stomach became feyerish and then ceased

Making summary Of Causes which justify
the prediction Of high prices in 1883, we
find the following to be the most impor

the United States; the scarcity of aged cat

sal short crop of hogs, and the small
amount of corn obtainable at prices which
justify feeding-aIl of these combined con
