Some time since a Curious freak of
nature occurred on the farm of Robert
Jackson, about six miles west of Mid
dleville, Barry county, Mich. In a
corner of one of his fields, where there
never had been any appearance OF
water, and where the land was high
and dry, there suddenly burst forth
stream of water about the size OF a
mans body. A large oak tree which
stood in close proximity was forced
out and now lays PROSTATE upon the
ground. The water is highly charged
with sulphur, and the odor OF the
same can be noticed for a considerable
distance from the spring.

cries of JOY as at weddings, surround

along by ropes tied to the legs until
they became dismembered Then the
rope was shifted to other limbs. The
mob with bludgeons beat the bodies
until they were flattened and afterward
they caught up the viscera with sticks
and threw them against the windows of
the houses inhabited by Europeans, the
bodies having previously been robbed.

THE Madison Democrat in the course
of a long review of communication
sent to it, arraigning the farmers for
not waking up and asserting their po-
Iitical rights, says 1t Is true that the
farmers, as a rule, are responsible in q
large degree for the evils of legislation
from which they suffer. They are slow
to act in the primaries, and leave to
some wire-pulling politicians the nom
nation of delegates. If the farmers
would take that interest in political
matters they are bound, as good citi
zens, to assume, they would have a bet
ter Representations in legislatures and
congress. They are too conservative,
and, generally speaking, too intensely
partisan. Through inaction and indif-
ference the greatest of all industries
scarcely has sympathetic voice in the
councils of the nation. They continue
to allow few interested politicians to
pack caucuses and foist disreputable
nominations upon them, though their
backs are nearly broken under the bur
dens hcaped upon them by the disco
lutte and corrupt demagogues sent to
congress. This is true of both parties.
Wisconsin never had farmer in con
gress, yet she is one of the greatest ag'
ricultural states in the Union. She has
had but two soldiers in ten years
Bragg and Bouck. In the face of a
record the most shameful ever written
down in congressional records, the
farmers of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Hi
nois, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas vii
applaud the Attn congress, and go like
slaves to the polls in November to vote
again for the authors and defenders of
such gigantic robberies As the river and
hMbor bill. This infamous and gigan-
tic steal is the work of both parties.
Neither can excuse the other. Farm
ers, if they do their duty, will see to it
that not Il member who voted for that
bill is reelected. But they will not do
it. They will meekly beg that such
archthieves as Robson and Randall
may return to plumber the treasury,
and that the Hazeltons and Houses
may be allowed once more to serve the
ends of the railway corporations.
These poor oppressed farmers, who
feel the rod of misrule keenest, will
humbly bend their knees 70 the cor.
rupt autocracy that has imposed al
their burdens, and then boast of THEN
loyalty. They will blindly sanction the
Hubbells and vote for the men who
use the corruption fund to buy up the
primaries through the agricultural pre-
cincts. Yes; it is high time the farmer
walked up to a realizing sense of his re
sponsibilities as a citizen. When the
great agricultural communities Of tn,
northwest break out of their partisan
shells and open their eyes to infamie
they have slavishly upheld, the farme
an hope to be heard in congress.

no right in Egypt 1t is therefore mere
trifiing to continue negotiations for the
purpose of getting such worthless
pledges of good faith as prociama-

THE PARK.

The season for improvement is now
about over, and it is therefore proper to
review what has been accomplished
the past year for the South ward park.
All that has been done may be sum-
married as follows: The weeds, which
had grown to undue height, have been
cut down. Three or four trees (which
it is alledged, had sickened and died,
in consequence of the work in con-
structing the artificial lake, have been
taken down and the wood utilized for
fuel. The stumps stand conspicuous
ly, and serve the purpose of seats for
weary people. The lake, that greatest
of all the undertaken enterprises, re-
mains about the same as a year ago,
and is thought will be in condition fol-
nightly concerts next spring for those
well-known musicians-the frogs.

Are not the authorities and some of

for consideration, a number of
schools for vice to be opened, and
abuse the scholars because they profit
by theinstructions given. If it is right
and proper to sell drink that debases
men, infames the passions, and makes
men brutal, what right have they to
grumble at and sometimes punish the
students of these schools, and then
how unreasonable they are? The
apter student is the more they abuse
him. Again, / see tyranny in the pun

your Marshal himself would help him
along, and yet you don't ask Doan to
pay a license. Now let man 90 into

the dairy goods of all lands whose
markets are desirable. The production
OF cheese may be vastly augmented by
producing just what is required to suit
foreign tastes. 1t is useless to waste
time and money in endeavoring to
force articles upon customers that they
do not want. Their tastes alone must
be consulted at the outset. Missionary
work in endeavoring to change habits
and tastes that have long been estab-
lished is an improbable field of labor
| IN connection with the extension of
our export trade in dairy products.
The profitable expansions of this trade
depends on ascertaining just what is
required in certain markets and pro-
ducing goods to meet those require
ments. Cheese enters so largely into
the food consumption of most Euro
pean countries that it is a subject of
no mean Importance to the dairy in
terest of the United States; if the adj
vantage we have already gained is in
diligently pushed, our export of cheese
to Europe and South America can be
vastly increased. In the meantime
the efforts made to increase the home
consumption of cheese should not be
RENTED. Small, fine cheeses will
gradually lead our people to consume
far more of this palatable and health
full food than is now eaten.
