The question the Budget asks is somewhat
surprising, but is easily answered. \ newspa-
per has an undisputed right to refuse "a decent
advertisement" or any other advertisements
The publication of Il newspaper is a business
enterprise, and the control of the editor over all

whatever to the publication of any article, item
or advertisement without the permission of the

or withheld ut discretion. This is clearly

So much for the question of right. As mat
ter of policy the paper which aims to be sue
cc>>ful will endeayor to follow a course that
will commend it 10 public support. The point
raised by the Budget is question of policy or
taste, rather than of right, and must be decided
by each editor for himself. The Herald was
opposing BIter with might and main in its ed

LIVE STOCK,

The Baltimore American has the follow
ing concerning the business OF breeding
stock for market The rearing and breed
ing OF live stock in this country have been
conducted on scientific principles, but to a
limited extent, until of late years. The
necessity of improvement, however, to
meet the demands upon us for meat food
rs well as for the cereals, has stimulated
our breeders to enlarged views and efforts
in the proper direction. The tat stock
shows originated at Chicago have had
most powerful influence, and the researches
of scientific experts in the development OF
the nutritious qualities of food allowed to
live stock are having most desirable effect
in tho development of fat and muscle, in
order to economize time and labor and cap
ital In the presentation of their stock for
the shambles. A bullock which formerly
required tlve to ak years iattening before
II could be placed in the hands of the
butchers can now by judiclous and inteli-
gent handling be made ready for market in
half OF that time. Ii will require only the
arithmetic OF any school.boy to sum
up the saving thus made to every
farmer who Is engaged in the business.
One of the factors in thswork, itist too much
to be feared, is lost sight of or lightly est.
mated by most farmers; therefore, the fol-
Simpson, of New York city, is worthy of
consideration and extended circulation, al
though it treats of breeding for another
branch of production than that TO which
we have alluded above, but one almost of
equal importance. Iie says; "Most inn
portant OF all is the question: do we pay
sufficient attention to the quality of bulls
we use2 think not. We cannot exercise
too great care in selecting the bull which is
to stand Mt the head of choice herd of
Jerseys; in fact, all our hopes and fears
should be concentrated in him. He should
be the best and most perfect animal III the
herd-lar better, II possible, than the best
COW. The progeny of the bull may number
iiity or more in single year, while the best
COW produce, but one calf. Bulls, as a rule,
are kept too fat, and in consequence are
quite certain to become impotent ut an age
when they should be IN their prime. If
kept rather low In flesh and with proper
exercise bulls should continue in service
until from 10 to 10 years of age and be more
valued rs their progeny becomes known"

The first ton of Mexican tin ever sent to

metal is said to be bright, clear, and APP

Durango. The ores of placer origin are

Mr.. Henry Freeman, an Australian tin
mining engineer, has been for year or
more exploring the region between Chihua
hua and southwestern Durango in search OF
evidences OF the tin lodes and placers
spoken of by the old Spanish settlers, and
has secured for st. Louis merchants and
