AZ THE 4th Of March approaches il be-
comes more and more apparent that Mr.
Gorham, the editor of General Mahonc's
Washington organ, will not be the Secre-
tary of the Senate for the next Congress. In
the first place it is by no means necessary
that there should be any reorganization of
the Senate next March, when the term Of
the 4Sth Congress will commence. All that
il rcquircd 10 makca reorganization then un-
necessary. is hat the President of the present
Senate shall vacaIe the chair on the last
day Of the session, and allow his successor
to be chosen from among ne Senators hold
ing over. But even If that shall not be
done and The Senate shall be organized, it is
hardly possible that those republican mem
beers Of the Senate who have been person-
ally abused by Mr.. Gorham in his paper
should he so devoid Of SELF respect as TO vote
for him or that any member of that body,
should have SO little respect for public opin-
ion as to support for Secretary OF the t. 5.

he determined if the question be ever tested
in the highest courts. The Court Of Appeals,
on the 23l inst, decided that such coupons
were receivable for taxes. That decision is on
record, and there has been no appeal from
it; and the fact that mere order Of pro-
ceeding, which can be changed at any time
to suit the pleasure Of the court, and which
has no legitimate bearing upon the legality
or constitntionalty Of the case, has pre-
vented the decision from being certified to
the court below until after the lst of De-
cember, when coupon killer No. , goes into
nominal operation-thc mere fact Of this
order of proceeding we say, neither in law,
justice nor common sense, can have any
effect upon tue decision. To say that II
delay of ten days in the ccrification of the
ultimate operation is equivalent to saying
that the temporary and changeable rules of
II court are o.: more Importance than the I'M
mutable principles Of the law and the Const-
tuition which it is the province Of the court
to expo"nd. and can so effect judicial de-
cision Il. TO work injustice where justice is
intended: and to this no reasonable man
will agree. The tcn-forty coupons arc re-
ceivabic for taxes now, under decision Of
the highest court Of the State, and they, and
also the ,onsol coupons, will be receivable
for the same dues after the 1st Of December;
and if the Supreme Court Of the United
States Doesn't SO decide next Janrarv. the
provision q! the Constitution prohibiting
the States from passing laws iln,aring the
obligation Of contracts will be a dead letter.

TARIFF ANOMALIES.

The custom authorities of Germany
seem to be acting under fit of spleen
with reference to American importations
into their country. They have sudden
Iy discovered that they can raise the duty
on American products by classifying
them as something which they are not.
Thus canned meats and soups have be-
come iron ware under German interpre-
tation, while canvased hams are classified
as cotton goods. Formerly canned beef,
soups, and minced meats were classified
under the head of " slaughtered and
prepared meats.' AS such they were
subject to duty of twelve marks per
100 kilos, or 81. Sc per 220 pounds, equal
to about fifteen per cent. of the value.
But quite recently some brilliant official
discovered that the meats were packed
in tin cans or boxes, to which the labels
were affixed, and so he classed all such
products under the head of "ironware !"
and doubled the duty. The matter was
brought to the attention of the custom
house director, and finally to that of the
minister of finance at Berlin, but both
sustained the action of the official first
making the classification. Since then
the German government has decided to
classify American hams in canvas bags
under the head of cotton goods, and levy
duty of eighty marks per one hundred
kilos, against twelve marks, the former
duty. The above miserable subterfuges
are on par with Bismarck's schemes to
stop emigration, and will only result in
heaping ridicule on the head of the gov
eminent which sanctions them.

THE TRANSVAAL.WARS.

After a turbulent and bloody season
following the unwise British annexation
of the Transvaal in 1877 it was expected
that the country so bravely won by the
hardy Beers would enjoy period of
peace. A convention had been conclud-
ed granting the Beers the right of self
government under certain limitations re-
speeding, among other things, their deal
ings with other states; there was no
longer fear of trouble In Zull-land, and
in the small province of Basuto-land, in
the northeast of Cape Colony and lying
west Of Natal, by which it is cut off from
the sea, the British terms We're accepted,
and, so sure did the maintenance of
peace appear that the auxiliary forces
were disbanded there and fluctuations Of
tranquility were telegraphed to London.
But after five months of apparent peace
the cable tells us that all is not well.
Fighting is already reported from the
borders; Chief Masupha, never satisfied
with the award, and who did all that he
could to upset the negotiations last fall,
is more rebellious than ever, and is said
to have bought all the other chiefs over
to his cause. This is the latest news,
but earlier Cape Town dispatches not
sent across the Atlantic at the time, not
only confirm this, but increase the
gravity of the situation. Some chiefs
who accepted the award did SO unw1l-
ingly and under pressure, many appear
to have accepted it with large mental
reservations, and others, like Masupha,
if they really submitted, as it was said
they did, appear to have seized upon the
| first safe opportunity to resist the
awards provisions. 1t is not doubted
by the English that many natives really
desire peace, but the power of
the Masupha party is SO strong
that grave uncertainty exists for
the future. The Cape Colony parlia-
ment was some time ago called to meet
early next month, in anticipation of this
trouble. Evidently, it cannot meet SO
| soon.

which was improved by French invest
igator, M. Won. In report in La Ma
ture last year this gentleman stated that,
so far from the unusually rigorous win
ter destroying the insets. son the con-
trary the extreme rigor Of the two last
winters proved advantageous to their
preservation. In fact, many we're en-
abled to escape insectivorous birds,
thanks to the snow or ice which covered
the soil. The excessive cold caused,
moreover, an almost unprecedented NOR
tality among the birds" Happily the
reverse conditions have obtained in this
country during the current winter, and,
on the sound principle suggested by this
writer, we may infer that the late mild
season taken by itself does not augur q
great grasshopper invasion, but rather
otherwise. DR.. Fitch and Professor Ri
ley have shown by records that :" almost
all great army worm years have been I'M
usually wet, with the preceding year un-
usually dry" Judging by this rule we
can see no reason to apprehend at pres
ent any exceptional visitation of the crop
destroying pests this year. But the
question is one of great importance to
agriculturists and to the whole country,
and as eminent entomologists assert that,
with the aid of adequate meteorological
data, they can forecast the great grass
hopper years, they will do the country
good service to look into the matter and
make known the result of the investiga-

The Freezing Cure.
(From the Physician.l

By means of freezing parts may be
rendered wholly insensible to pain, SO
that slight surgical operations may be
easily performed. When the freezing is
long continued the parts may lose their
vitality entirely, which will cause them
to slough away. By this means, excres-
cences, as warts, wens and polypi, fibrous
and sebaceous tumors, and even malig
nant tumors, as cancers, may be success
fully removed. Small cancers may
sometimes be cured by repeated and long
continued freezing. Their growth may
certainly be impeded by this means. A
convenient mode of application in cancer
of the breast is to suspend from the neck
rubber bag filled with powdered ice,
allowing it to lie against the cancerous
organ. Freezing may be accomplished
by applying a spray of ether, by means
of an atomizer, or by freezing mixture
composed of equal parts of pounded ice
and salt, or two parts of snow to one of
salt. Mix quickly, put into gauze bag
and apply to the part to be frozen. In
three to six minutes the skin will be-
come white and glissening. when the bag
should be removed Freezing should
not be continued more than six minutes
at time, as the tissues may be harden
ed. thong usually no harm results from
repeated freezing, if proper care is used

INSECTS Or NO INSECTS.

In these days of prophecy when Ven
ner and the weather bureau are vie
ing for the first place in the annals of
representation, an opinion of interest
to agriculturists will be found In an ar
ticle in the New York Herald relative to
insects. 1t says the appearance of a
peculiar grasshopper in Westchester
County seems to cause premature
alarm among the farmers in that vicinity.
Certainly, after the agricultural losses of
last year, the uprising of powerful ar
my of insects next summer would be
most untimely and unwelcome, and this,
we suppose, the Westchester farmers
fear is portended by the appearance of
the black grasshopper in their fields be-
fore winter has fairly closed. 1t is too
early to predict whether the next sum-
mer's crops will be imperiled by the in
sect hosts. but the anomalous and extra
ordinary mild winter suggests the ques-
ton. During the memorable cold wiz
tiers of 1879 and 1880 in Europe there
was abundant opportunity for testing the
effect of severe season on insects,

How to Kill Crows,
from Forest and Stream. ]


Secure large stuffed owl. Fasten
this to pole, and project the pole from
tree, making the owl appear to be
perched on a limb. Fasten this secure
~ in plain sight, where any passing crow
can see it. Then retire to concealed
spot within gunshot of the lure and wait
for the crows. They will come as soon
as they catch sight of the owl. Each
crow must be shot as it comes IN range,
that the report of the gun may not
brighten others away that may be COM
ing. If frightened away, the crow VIII
directly constitute himself committee
of one to hang around the spot and tell
every other crow within five hundred
miles that there is man with gun
there. We have found that the great
horned owl is the best crow decoy, al
though they will come to others, such as
the barred owl.
