On his way home to Russia, to be
scolded by the Gar for his speeches
in Paris, General Skobeleff stopped at
the Hotel d'Europe, in Warsaw. The
proceedings Of distinguished strangers
are reported in that city by the police,
and the case Of the distinguished
General is textually reproduced, as
follows, in the columns of the Gas:
Last night, at the hour of nine.
His Excellency, the General, deigned

this morning, wearing, however, a
jacket and cap, both OF which were
covered with mud. 1t was, moreover

considerable intoxicated" This re.

New YoRF has stringent Sunday
law but it is found elastic enough to
conform to the habits of the people as
it generally does almost everywhere.
The resorts where people so to get
their beer are turned into hotels. Signs
are hung out and a few beds are furn-
ished for those who may call for them.
People go there to dine. They sit
down and call for a cracker or a
sandwich. Dinner being over or nearly
50. they call for beer or wine to wash
it down, and in many instances it
takes a great deal.

in the selection of the cows WhateveI
the breed, first the inferior ones, and
next the ordinary COWS should be con

1t makes no difference what the breed
may be, these will always be found Not
that there is no choice in breeds; there
is, and they must be selected with view
to what is wanted, whether butter OF

A Short Study in Political Ec onomy

Much is said in many of the leading
newspapers Of the day, in regard to mo-
nopolies. Will you not please tell your
readers what monopolies are9 If they
are for or against the farmer and the
great middle classes The NJ. G. h r.
is, | suppose, d monopoly Yet treights
and fares are lower than before consOli-
ciation, the road has better ears, better
and more able officers, better stations,
flower gardens at stations, and many APP
parent efforts for the comfort of the peO-
pie. Vanderbilt who virtually controls a
large railroad interest, brings freight
from Chicago at about 40 per cent. less
than before the Rebellion. Jay Gould
and other similar men are building up
old and productive railroads of the
South and the West, virtually controlling
the railroads, and yet freight and fares
are less than when owned by the various
original parties. Monopoles manufacture
hand rakes, scythes, axes, mowers, ploWs,
furniture, and most all articles we use !;
and yet we can buy either at less than
when manufactured in the old way before
the war. MonOpoles control, i. e., rich
men and corporations have contributed
to or endowed many schools, colleges,
retormatory institutions, hospitals, and
other charitable institutiOns-tor whom
Not for themselves; but for the comfort
OF the middle classes and the poor.
Would it be best if we had no rich men
Would it be best if we were all poor? We
cannot all be editors, lawyers or doctors
nor can we all acquire the executive
a tn no
The Maine Central r. R. appointed Mr..
Tucker superintendent of their company.
This successful management called the
attention Of a large r. r., which would
have been glad to have paid him a salary of
S2O, 200 yearly. Is Mr.. Tucker q monop-
oily? Whose fault is it, if fault there be,
that he should command such a salary
How are we farmers injured? Is, Mr..
Editor, a monopoly really what some men
would have us believe Is it detrimental
to rs that men of vim, life and energy
become rich? We can now get good
prices for all we raise; we can buy at low
or lower than before the war. A moving
machine then cost 1925 to $3.50. 1t now
costs from $50 to sos. Poorly made
horse rakes with wire teeth, $40: now
$50. A small plow then sold for S5 or So !;
now from So to $4. Most Of the imple-
ments we need can be bought low. We
get from % to 28c. for our eggs and but
ter; S14 to Sl7 for our hay; 50 to So for
our apples; and if we need to, can bor-
row money at less that per cent. Cloth
ing, boots, musical instruments, in fact
almost all articles can be bought much
lower than twenty years ago, when we
did not get 50 much for our productions.
If M0n0p0lies are the cause of this, we
are benefited 10y them. Men Of capital
employ men, the men employed consume
our productions, are our customers to
turn the capitalists money over to us. Is
not much Of the talk about these great
monopolies, put forth by men and used
by them as horse on which to ride into,
or keep in power? Are not the times
good Cannot prudent, working men
enjoy many luxuries, and lay up little

A kiss, soft hair-just what they please"
1t can't be hard if that is all
So I'll begin by saying this
To my dear lady beautiful,
send a valentine and kiss.
The valentine, because she has
The loveliest hair and gentlest eyes;
The kiss, because love her more
Than any one beneath the skies
Because she Is the kindest, best
The sweetest lady ever known:
And every year I'll say the same,
The very same, to her alone!

Gov. Long and the Executive Council.

Gov. Long of Massachusetts has been
quoted by the papers who sustain Gov
Plaisted IN his war upon the Execu-
tive Council as being in favor of the abo-
lltion of that body as useless appendage
to the State government. In Gov. Longs
recent message we find the following in
relation to the Executive Council II
still am convinced of the advantage and
economy of an Executive Council, COM
posed OF the elective heads of depart
ments rather than as now constituted,
and OF giving them seats in the Legisla-
lure with no vote, but with the right to
speak upon q1estions affecting their de-
partments."
Now this is not proposition to abolish
the Executive Council On the contrary,
it proposes change in the composition
OF the Council, making it to consist of
heads Of departments instead of persons
elected by the legislature especially for
Councillors, and to give the Council thus
constituted enlarged power. He would
give it every power which the Executive
Council as now constituted has-check
upon the Governor and all-and to this
he would add the right to seats in the
legislature and to participate in debates
affecting their departments. Such plan
as this if adopted would largely increase
the power OF the Executive Council, in
stead of wiping it out of existence. Ken
