THE world is sadly in need of
meat, and after awhile the hungry
like the israelites going
TO Egypt for corn, will be coming
across the Atlantic and from all the
countries that border the Gulf of
Mexico, and from along the Pacific
slopes for nutritious food, with
which TO build up the in
ner man. In some portions
of the world people are
put to very sore straits for meat. and
in many places it is absolutely not
known as an article of food. Such
a condition perverts the nature of
man and dwarfs him physically and
mentally. People who live on
properly produced beef and
mutton are the healthiest
in the world, and therefore
they are the most vigorous in body
and in mind. A story comes across
the water, from the great city of
London, where people are crowded
like animals in slaughter pen, that
even the flesh of all the poor and
diseased horses of England find
uses as food. 1t naturally
sickens the stomach that is
used to luscious long-horn
roasts and steaks, to know that a
large trade is thus produced, in
what are called German sausages,
made of horse flesh. In Lon
don, where the manufacture
of such delicacies is so
largely conducted, diseased and
wornout horses are bought for a
song, and the meat issupplied to the
sausage makers. AS these manu-
facturers dry, rather than cook, the
meat for their purposes, the medical
journals assert that it is extremely
probable that diseased germs are
disseminated among consumers
They do things better in France
Horses there are especially fattene
for human food, and the meat is ex'
posed for sale under its own name
the whole business being unde
strict government surveillance
But how infinitely bet
ter would it be even for thes
French horse flesh consumers wer'
they fed upon such beef as is pro
duced on the Texas prairies. Tn
question of transporting slaughtered
meat in cargo across the Atlanti
will soon be most satisfactoril!
solved, and when it is, and cheal
good meat is thus supplied to thu
poor of the great cities and tn
thickly settled districts, Texa
will have advanced a stel
further in maintaining humanity il
its most creditable phases and char
acter. A man fed OH diseased hors
fle III ought to steal, or do any Other
mean thing degrading to his race
and were punishment for crime
committed by such a dieted man re
ferred to this cattle convention, ii
members would join unanimousl
in the verdict, that he could not b
held responsible for crime; an
such verdict would be just. Blu
who would say in the presence Q
these "kings," that a cattle ma
could be otherwise than just

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
death Of Congressman Orth adds an.
another to the long list of fatalities in
the present Congress. Mr.. Orth was
one Of kthe best known pablo men
in Washington, owing TO a long
public career, most OF which centered
ar the capital. While ia his sixty
sixth year, he wasin reasonably good
health, for a man OF hisage, up to the
adjournment Of Congress last summer,
and 1t was not supposed until
recently that be was in danger OF
speedy death. The death of
the other members of the present
House have been more unexpected
Congressman Hawk, of Illinois, died
suddenly at his clearinghouse on the
night Of the 10Th of June. when even
his family we're unaware that his i'll
ness was anything more than Of a
temporary character. General Lowe,
OF Alabama, who died during vaca-
ton, was known when Congress
adjourned to be complaining
only Of a bronchial trouble.
When Congressman Updegraf, Of
Ohio, left Washington, it was not
known that his health was impaired
from any cause No one in the house
would have been regarded as having
a longer lease Of life than he. Con
gresham Allen, OF Missouri who died
during the early part Of the fret ses
sion, had been an invalid for a long
time, and his demise was expected

of Georgia. 1t is believed that the
vacancy on the Committee on Roreisn
Affairs, caused by Mr.. 0rth's death,
will be filled BY the appointment OF
Congressman Hit (Ill.,) late First
Assistant Secretary oil State, a gentle
man whose familiarity with she diplo.
matte service makes bis choice espe-
cially appropriate for the position. In
addition to his experience in the State
Department he was Secretary of the
American Legation in Paris for a
Number of years, under Minister

isA citizen Of New York and is merely
passiog through the other State when
he dies. The company is released
from payment. This has been called
a "retaliatoy' law, aimed at other
States. But just where the "retalia-
ton" comes in is not apparent. The
gamers are the insurance companies
Of this State, who receive premiums
from the insured without having to
pay the policy. The only losers are
the insured, or rather their heirs.
Such a law, which wasidoubfless lob.

companies, is simply intolerable. Judge
Arnou3 has declared It unoonstita

is concerned. What there remains Of

to. day they are laboring with hand

to lind out the vast resources of a
country which for climate and variety
OF products is unexcelled in the world,
and they are going to work TO deyelop
and utilize these resources. Thew
are learning TO be independent, and
instead Of shipping grain and hay
from the North, We shall be surprised
if in a few years they do not turn the
tables and export food to the North
indeed, it has this year already begun.

exclusively agricultural in its pursuits.
but the past few years has seen fac.
tories s~pringing up all over this sec

Farm AInnnrnman1

American Agricultural for December.
No liked rules can be laid down for
the management Of farms. The soil
OF one township may be best fitted for
growing some kind Of grain, while the
adjoining ones can be most proftably
devoted to live stock. No two farms
situated side by side are exactly alike
The distance from market, the de-
mand for special products, and. not
the leastt the individual taste Of the
farmer, have all much weight in de-
termlng the system Of farm manage
ment that it is best to adopt. Those
who have given the most thought to
this subject are the slowest to advise
any general system to be applied to
every farm 1t is like a garment that
is intended to fit all persons, and suits
none. Every year Of progress made
In agricultural knowledge teaches,
more forcibly than previous ones, the
truth that the farmer must rely
largely upon his own intelligence and
Judgment in working out the best sys-
TEN for his own farm. Even in so
seemingly a triAing matter as the
pruning of a grapevine, the wisest
vineyardest can only give general
rules, and each grape grower must
adapt them to the p~eculiarities of
each vine.

Now York Herald

A number of States have passed
laws designed 10 afford protection Ia
their own insurance companies bv
imposing restrictions on the business
done by insurance companies of other
States. Such laws are unjust and i'm.
polite. But among them all probably
a worse one cannot be found than that
now on the statute books ofthisIState.
In 1881 the Legislature at Albany
passed an act providing that If any
person having his life insured
IN any company of this
State should die in any State
having the obnoxious laws above
referred to, the insurance company
should not be liable to pay the

this law, If enforced, would be that

The kugby colony.

Mr.. John R Proctor, Director of
the Geological Survey Of Kentucky,
has these very generous words to say
about the much maligned eoleny at
Rugby, Tenn. When asked ii he
thought this colony had proved to be
a failure, he said. 1T is not the
cess which some Of the newspapers
predicted when there was a Rugby
room, but trust me- for one prediction
Rugby will succeed. | have never for
a moment doubted THE, aud some Of
my friends, knowing my faith, fire.
quently thrust at me dIsparsging no
tices OF that colony. Many mistakes
have been made there, much mis-
management, doubtless, too much
attention atthe start TO lawn tennis,
and not enough to potatoes and
eabbages; but The conditions of suc-
cess are there, and men are there who
will make the most of these
conditions. The faint hearted, the
ne er do well aud the grumblers will
DRIFT away and a prosperous and happy
community will gather around Rteby.
The press Ofthis country aud England
have dealt very unfairly by these peo-
pie IN their honest efforts to start this
colony in a region hitherto neglected
aud which | am certain, has adyau-
tages not yet appreciated. The pro-
motors Of Rugby and the people there
who have the courage of their con
victlons to carry out an intelligent
system Of farming adapted to the pc
culiarities Of the soil, will have the
laugh on the grumblers in a few
years. Coming from a man who
might almost be said to represent
rival interests, these sentiments are
peculiarly generous. We believe
them, also, to be strictly true: and we
to pace ourselves on record as
among the most enthusiastic believers
in the Rugby Of the future.
