X FEW ISSUES.

It is true that congress has not been convened for any length of time, but so far they appear to be laying on their oars. It looks as though the republicans have not re. covered from the surprise admins. tered to them through the last elec- ton, and the democrats are calmly awaiting to claim judgment upon some error which their opponents may make. There are some very live issues which either party may con- sider without detriment to them selves and much benefit to the people. Among them we may mention that the government has too much spend ing money, and too much of that sort of thing invites corruption. The taxes are so heavy that capital is embar- rassed and cannot be as generous with labor as it would like. The prices of the necessaries of life are absurdly high, through the rule of the monopolists, notwithstanding the fact that labor is cheap. ] he monpo- lists control the market, and the taxes control such small capitalists and business men as have not that power. Small capital and large work are thereby embarrassed to the last de- gree, and this notwithstanding the fact, as pointed out in the presidents message and the accompanying docu- ments, that there have been good crops, large business, and on the sur face an apparent abundance of pros- perity. Too little attention has been and is yet being paid to the growing interests of the territories-especially Arizona. We want increased mail facilities, appropriations for the sur yey of thousands of acres of public land, appropriations for the sinking of artesian well the culture of trees, and above all, E passage of the Re- gan railroad bill &eventing discrimin- ation in rates. These are few points which congress should take up with out delay. There is not man in the country who Is not interested in them, and his family along with him. .They touch every person and every pterest. ls....,....s....s...ls. s.,.a-s,...

By attaching pump, propelled by
the wind, to a well, says the ST. Paul
Pencer Press, you can supply a basin
from so to 20 feet in diameter, and
six to eight feet deep, with water suf,
ficient to raise several thousand carp
or Other fish. The cost of this pond
and appurtenances need not exceed
fifty dollars. The bottom and sides
need to be cemented thoroughly.
When the basin is complete, place in
it small quantity of floating weeds.
If you intend to raise carp, do not
place other fish Of a predatory charac-
ter in the pond. The spawning will
occur during the spring months, the
female laying from $4,000 to 500, 1000
eggs. The eggs will adhere to what
ever they touch, and will soon hatch.
The green scum of " partially
stagnant pond is fine food
for young fish. Mud in the bottom
of the pond is beneficial. The fish
will iced readily on kitchen garden
refuse, such as cabbage, leek, lettuce,
hominy or other substances. Water
seldom becomes too warm for these
fish. During freezing weather they
bury themselves in the mud at the
bottom of tho pond. While in this
condition they shouldnot be disturbed.
In a pond of given dimensions several
thousand fish have annually been
taken. II weeds and grass grow pro.
fusely about the borders of the pond,
so much the better for the fish. In
two years time you can have q con
slant supply OF sport and food, and
the advantage Of a pond to assist
in Identifying Your home. ~ V@ie0'

The Cattle Trade.

The cattle trade of the Northwest has
assumed large proportions, and Mon
ana bids fair to become a formidable
rival to Texas in beef production. As
a fattening place, or fitting formarket,
Montana, it is claimed, excels any
portions OF our cattle-producing terri
tory. This statement of course, does
not include the grain producing States,
but only that territory where grazing
is the entire dependence. Its climate,
pure water and nutritious grasses fit
cattle more rapidly for market than in
the more southern localities. Texas
will continue to be the breeding ground
for ranch stock, which, at one and
two years Of age, viii be driven north
and gmzed until fit for shipment.
But the beef will each year come less
from Texas and more from the North
west -Four years ago, not to exceed
5000 or 600O head OF cattle came out
OF Montana in n year. This season
the Northern Pacific road shipped be-
tween September IL and October IL
$4,000 head, and since the latter dato
its transportation facilities have been
taxed to tho utmost. The entire
shipments Of tho season, which are
now nearly ended, will not fall much,

comprese only the three and four. year
old steers fit for market. The Younger
stock and breeding animals viii be

drive, and next August the shipping

A talent for conversation has extraor-

to talk with very great brillancy. A
man may talk with such surprising
power as to awe the rest of the COM

to have more varied knowledge, and to
