Public extravaganza

The eastern press and eastern
leaders OF opinion are alarmed at the
indications of public extravaganza
revealed in the river and harbor bill
which appropriates $4,000, 900, and
the pension bill, which, from first to
last, will dispose of 5000, 00O, 900 and
they warn the country that congress
has entered upon an era of profit
gacy which, if not arrested at once
will demoralize both the govern
ment and the people. If those ap-
prehensions be well founded, the
eastern journals and teachers may
be recommended to direct their
complaints to the power which is
wholly to blame for the evil-the
Republican party. 1t is that party
which familiarized the people with
millions when they had seen only
thousands. Its policy from the be-
ginning has been one of enormous
revenue and enormous expenditure.
1t has ever sought to maintain an
OVERLOOKING treasury, even after the
war expenditures had ceased and
it has kept up high taxes long after
the necessity for large expenditures
had ceased. At this very time we
are accommodating a treasury surplus
of $3.50, 100000 year-and yet the
dominant party in congress refused
at the late session to tighten either
the import duties or the internal
revenue taxes on the people.
AS long as we have an overlooking
treasury we shall have extravaganza.
If there is ali excess of money in the
government vaults, the dominant
party will find way of spending it.
The only effective remedy is the
Democratic policy of reducing taxa
lion to the actual needs of the gov
eminent, and leaving the money in
the nOckets of the people.

changing Queens.

The fall is a good time to requiem
an apiary, as then we can give a
fresh, young and vigorous queen in
time to fill the hive with Young bees
60 carry the stock through till more
can be raised in the spring. A hive
that goes into winter quarters with
old bees stands nine chances to one
OF being no stock at all by the next
spring So If you have some young
queens of your own raising, or can
afford to buy enough to replace all
queens that have seen two years
service, now Is good time to
change them. First find the old
queen, which is best done by using
rs little smoke as possible, in order
not to get the bees to running
like flock of frightened sheep,
rs then it is hard to see a
queen, and she will more than likely
run onto the side of the hive to hide.
Look each comb over carefully as
you take II out. and hang it in an
empty hive or box fixed right to
hold frames. If you do not find her
by the time you have gotten all the
frames changed over, look the hive
over thoroughly inside, and then re-
place the frames in the hive, looking
as you go. You will usually find her
In that part of the hive where there
Is the least capped brood, among the
cells of eggs and uncapped brood.
Having found the queen, cage her 10
keep for fear of accident to the new
queen, in which case you can put the
old queen back. Poets Introducing
cage, to be. had of most sup
ply dealers at q cost of a few
cents, Is one of the handiest ways
to introduce a queen to new col
ony. III you have your cages at the
time you fad the old queen, place
the cage on fat comb of sealed
honey, first having cut a half-inch
hole through the comb with. your
penknife, leaving the plug in the
hole, with the tin slide next the
comb, and pushing the two sharp
tin points attached to the cage
through the comb and clinch on the
other side. Then draw out the tin
slide between the comb and the cage,
leaving the queen with access TO the
honey. aClose the hive, and by the
time the bees have cleaned out the
plug of honey from the hole cut
through the comb, they will become
sWare of being queenless, and the
queen will walk out unmolested.

Judge HancOck,s'SPeech.
TSan Antonio Tlmes.1

The speech of Hon. John Han
cock, the Democratic candidate for
congress in this district, was listen
ed to last night by large number OF
persons, and is most highly spoken
of as an able and patriotic effort,
and is sound and logical defense
of the grand principles OF Democra-
cy. The speaker paid just and high
tribute to the Democratic party and
to the undying principles which
have kept that party in existence so
long, and made strong appeal in
favor of the masses of the people.
He showed up the Republican
party in it it's true colors, as a
party which favored the inter.
esIs of the few at the expense of the
many, as in favor of the centraliZa-
ton power, and a party that was
en- dangering the liberties of the
American people.
Judge Hancock, however, devoted
a great portion OF his speech to the
subject of the tariff, that question
which is now, and will in the future
occupy such large share in the at
tention of the people. He treated
this subject from democratic stand
point, and in a mastery manner.
He showed conclusively the fallacy
of the cry of protective tariff, and
showed by the evidence of compe-
tent witnesses that the whole
system of protection was a
fraud upon the toiling millions
of this country. He clearly
proved that instead of the laborers
of this country being benefited by
the tariff, that it was positively Diet.
rimental to their interests. And
this he proved by the evidence of
parties high in authority i'll the Re-
publican party. He also showed
how sheep men of this country were
gulled by the specious arguments of
the monopolists of the country, who
to further their own interests, ap-
pealed to the avarice of the wool
growers, who were not really bene-
fitted by the ten per cent import
duty on that staple.
On the whole the speech was an
able effort, and will set those to
thinking who have been careless
as to the great and vital
issue of the Democracy, a
tariff for revenue only. That will be
the issue of the next campaign, and
the Democracy of the country are
so recognizing it. AS the Times has
frequently shown, it is now the
great national issue, and as such
will command the support of all
hnnnnnrofo
sentially Democratic tenet, viz: the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, and all those who cannot align
themselves with the Democracy on
that issue are not Democrats, and
had better at once sever their con-
nection with the party. Judge
Hancock's views are the correct
ones, and we hope to see them pre-
vail. not only in this state, but every
state in the Union.

The Situation In south Carolina.
charleston News and Courier.1

The Democracy. the white people
of the state, are embittered by the
cruel and unjust accusations of the
Observation-Disclosures and Indepen-
dents, and feel bound to expose the
falsity and malignity of such charges
as are uttered and dilated upon in
their hearing. The colored people,
dismayed by the woful picture
drawn by the Greenback-R
and Independents and confiding
in the promises of help and
protection given by the oppo-
nents of the Democracy, are in
the temper to invite an attack, and
10 provoke 1t. The white people
know that they are slandered and
reviled in the face of the whole
country; and the colored people are
encouraged to turn upon those
whom they are told to regard as
murderers, and worse. With the
two races IN this position, it needs
but blow or an oath to precipltate
bloody collision, such as that which
took place at Lancaster on Wednes-
day. White men will not submit to
be cursed and beaten by negroes :;
nor should they, for any reason or
under any circumstances. The
Observation-Disclosures and Independ-
ents are eager for fighting-in which
they shall bear no part. This is
their plan of campaign, as indicated
in their platform and speeches, and
in the sanguinary invocations of the
fugacious McLane. The negroes
and the white Democracy are to be
brought into conflict, if prompting
aud bounding on can compass it.
And the persons who are RESPONSE
BILE, first and last. are the
whole brood of Greenback-Rad-
ical leaders and Independ-
ents, from the highest to the
lowest. They, and they alone, are
the criminals. They are as RESPONSE
bic for the bloodshed at Lancaster
as the knave who fires the train
which leads into a powder magazine
is responsible for the explosion that
follows. And the Greenback-R adi-
Gals and Independents will be res
ponsible, in like manner, for any
rioting and bloodshed that may I'M
happily ensuel An indignant con-
demnation of the registering crew
will be recorded in Democratic bal
lots at the polls in November.

around broom stick. mash one end
down on itselfto close it.and close the
other with half-inch plug of honey
or wax, place the cage down little
way between two combs, and leave
the bees to nnaw her out. Another
good way is to leave the queen
Gagged twenty-four to forty-eight
hours, then open the hive carefully,
and with as little smoke as possible,
pull out the cork from the end Of
the cage, drop the queen into a half
teacupful of thin honey or sugar
syrup. See that she is well daubed
with il; dip her out onto the combs
with a spoon; sprinkle the honey
over the bees and combs, and close
the hive. Now l have found one
thing very important to the safety of
the new queen, in any method of in
PRODUCTION, and that is: when you
have your queen once introduced,
be content to stay away and let her
alone for several days. Many time
| have | known of valuable queens
being destroyed because the eager
bee keeper must see if his queen is
there. Work with the right condi-
tions, then have faith that your
queen is all right and let her alone,
You must be aware that yon can't
put new queen into a hive with
one already there, nor one with a
young virgin queen, or again, one
that has capped queen cells nearly
ready to hatch, as in the last two
cases the bees may protect the virgin
queen or stand by the queen cells,
and the new queen would be killed.
The old queen taken away can be
Gagged and put on top of some strong
stock having good queen. and they
will usually take care of her, some
times for many weeks, till you see il
your new queen is all right. This re-
queening late in the fall gives you q
young queen to commence laying
early in the spring, before you could
get good one raised. Buy from
some dealer of known honesty SO
that you may not be disappointed
Italians are far preferable as to
quietness, but If / were going to
work for extracted honey exclusive
ly [ would rather have hybrids, a
cross between the pure Italians and
the common blacks, as the Italians
stick to the combs like burs, and get
as mad as the proverbial wet hen
when brushed from the combs they
can scarcely be jerked from them
while the ny birds can be shaken of
like shot from shingle.'

A Washington letter says at is
considered as settled that two of the
candidates at the Chicago conven-
ton will present their claims with
as much energy and persistence at
the next republican convention.
These are Senator Sherman and Mr..
Blaine. The particular friends OF
Gen. Grant say that he will posi-.
lively never permit his name TO go
before another convention, but it
will not do to be too certain of tins.
some politicians here believe that
Mr.. Blaine has deliberately made up
his mind that if he is not the next
Republican candidate for the pres
idency no other Republican candi-
date shall be elected. Mr..
Sherman's agents are said to
be gobbling up all the copies
of the testimony taken before
the senate committee of investiga-
ton of the contigent expense of the
treasury department while he was at
its head. 1t is fact copies of this
document are scarcer than hens
teeth, but a sufficient number of
them are in possession of Mr.. Sher-
mans enemies to furnish all the
campaign material needed in 1884 if
he should happen to be candidate.

One of the most extensive tree
planters in the world Is declared BY
the English journal Land to be the
Duke of Athole. Every year, it
says, he plants from 600, 900 to 1000.
0C0 trees. During the present sea-
SON he has covered with trees a
plantation of some 1000 acres. By
the gale which destroyed the Tay
bridge, the plantations were denud-
ed of $4,000 trees. One of the dukes
of Athole is still known as the Plan
ter Duke. In the year liza his Dun
keld hills were almost entirely bare.
and he began to plant on a large
scale. Before he died he had plant
ed 100000 trees, which covered

A Ceremonious Meal.
Mexican letter.

The ceremonious meal in all Span
ish-American countries is breakfast,
and is usually taken between 10 and
IL O'Clock a. m. Everything Is served
in courses. Fruit first, soup often
follows, then meats, after that eggs,
aud last, Orioles" the national dish,
This last is dark red. bean, cooked
with lard, seasoned highly with red
pepper, and is served in a soup plate
and eaten with spoon. 1t is very
palatable, and foreigners generally
become as fond of it as the natives.
Wine is always on the table, and
breakfast is never complete until
cigarettes are handed, and every one
smoking business is discussed or the
days amusement canvassed and the
programme settled. This is the
principal meal of the day. After
passing an hour or two over this
meal and little recreation in the way
of music or receiving and entertain
ing visitors Ohe latter never re-
main later than noon(, the family
and guests go to their respective
rooms and daily "siesta," or midday
sleep, is INDUCED in. Between 5 and
4 p. m. the house is again astir. Cof-
fee and chocolate is unoeremoniously
served, each person going to the
dining room as suits their convent
ence. The head OF the house goes
to business until 8 D. IN. and the
ladies make their toilets for evening
visitors. Both fashionable and
social calls are made between
the hours of and 8 p. m. Be-
tween 10 and IL p. m. a light sup
per is served, consisting principally
of hot "tomales,n which is corn meal
mush mixed with force-meat of
chicken or beef, highly seasoned
with red pepper and onions, all nice
ly rolled in q clean corn shuck, tied
and put in a pot and boiled until
done and served in the shuck hot.
After this come cake and wine; then
cigarettes, and after that beer. This
is the daily routine in the house of q
well-to-do citizen of Mexico.

The Cowboy.

The cowboy does not wear a coat.
His legs are weather-boarded with
gOatskin overalls to protect them
from the horns of the mesquit, and
he is rooted over with a sOmbrero,
wide in the cornice for shade and
open at the top for ventilation. In
the use of the lasso and profane Ian
guage he has no equal. He can rope
steer, throwing the moose on either
foot OF the animal as it runs at full
speed, at the same time showing a
choice in the matter of select and
appropriate anathemas. which he
delivers equally well, either IN Next
can or United States language, long
primer type, that is perfectly amaz-
ing, considering his limited acquain-
lance with the drama and the re-
fined influences of civilized life. 1t
shows, however, what long practice
and steady devotion to one pur-
suit will accomplish. A herd OF
cattle travels an average of fifteen
miles daily-often more than that
when the streams are far apart.
All the herds follow the same trail
which is plainly defined from south
ern Texas to Wyoming, a distance
of 400 miles. They Craze as they
travel, guarded on every side by the
drivers, who take turns at driving
and standing guard at night. UT
to few years ago many herdi
were stampeded and captured by
Indians on the route. Old herders
have thrilling tales to tell of STAN
pedes in dark and dismal canons !; OF
attacks by Indians; of days and
nights passed on the plains, without
water or food, separated from theil
companions, and pursued by the IN
tutored child of the forest, who car.
ries a regulation musket and a blan'
ket marked u. s. These tails con.
tain only about ten ounces of truth
to the ton, and among Texans they
are only current at heavy DISCOUNT
