WARRINGTON, Feb. 1O-The posi-
ton of Mr.. Randall excites much
good-natured sympathy Mr.. Ran
dali is the leader of the Democratic
protectionists. He is also a candi-
date for the speakership of the COM
ing free trade House of Representa-
tives. He dare not vote against the
wishes and interests of his constitu-
ents. He is afraid to offend the free
trade Democrats by working actively
against them. In fact, "Sam" is in a
hole. It worries him awfully. He
wanted to help the Republicans get
the legislative bill through yesterday,
and it was understood by the Re
publican leaders that he was to as
sist them by corralling the Demo
cratic protectionist vote. When the
time came, however, Randall found
he could only get few of them to
refrain from voting. He couldn't
take IS decided stand as that him
self, for the awful cloud of the
speakership hung over him. So he
got paired as sick. There is some
thing pitiabIe in oil this. W lille
Carlisle and Black burn and Morrison,
his rivals then for tue Speakership
prize are going straight ahead on
their convictions of duty TO them
selves aud constituents, Randall is
playing two widely different charac-
tiers, neither of them satisfactory to
himself or anybody else. He must
sit and see Carlisle winning the
golden opinion of those from whom
he expects support, and bear the
jeers and taunts of his bro her pro
tectionists across the way. He is on
nettles all the time, and is 40 self
conscious of his awkward predica-
ment that every move he makes he
betrays the shadow which hovers
over him. His position every day
becomes more irksome and unbear-
able.

Dairy Cows.

A few poor cows are apt, in one
way or another, to work into dairy,
and by their diminutive yield barrel y
pay for their keeping. and perhaps
not even that, but cause an actual
loss. A dairyman of our acGuaint-
ance, having forty cows. found, by
measuring the milk, thrt he had five
in his flock which did not give milk
enOug in the whole season to pay for
their keeping and five pounds each.
He had five others that paid for their
keeping and five pounds more. The
profit and loss on these COWS Just
balanced each other; he kept the
ten COWS a year for nothing, losing
the whole of his time and labor in
caring for them and their milk, be-
sides the depreciation of stock and
the interest the cost, which were
not taken into consideration. When
1 was collecting cows for the first
dairy l set up, an aged and observ-
ing dairyman said to me: "Look out
for good cows; there is a great deal
of money made in this country by
but it is all made from
the good cows" The difference be-
tween good COW and a poor one is
not generally appreciated. Oftener
than otherwise the price at which a
COW is bought and sold is made to
accord with the amount of milk that
is yielded But this is not a sound |
way of estimating their value. Beef |
cattle may be estimated by the |
pounds of beef they will make. A |
bullock that will make 500 pounds
If beef may be worth half as much
Is one that will make ZOO pounds;
,ut the COW that produces only 100
pounds of butter year is not worth

luce 200 pounds in the same time

THERE is loud alarm in these

United States at the rapidly decreas-
hing powers of justice. There is much
foundation for this alarm. There is
greatsvidence that there is cause for
alarm. If proofs were wanted that
tbs people more and more dis
trust the law and its manipula-
tors we would buf need to point to
the rapidly increasing cases in which
the people take the law into their
own hands and administer a quick
and summary punishment by lynch
ing. From Maine to Arizona and
from Puget Sound to Florida straits,
from all sections of the country, we

TIE Legislature of Arizona is not
alone in its proposition. to tax church
property. a bill has been intro
Guced into the New York Legisla-
ture providing for the taxation of
such property, over sixty millions OF
dollars worth of which is now ex-
enpt IN New York State, alone. Is
there not little inconsistency in the
treatment of religious denominations
among us at any rate? Our laws re-
fuse TO recognize them in education
al affairs or governmental affairs,
and vet turn about and make do
nation to them of the tax which
would accrue on their property each
year, If they are to be fostered by
the public, built up by it, kept alive
by it, why not give them place in
education and politics' If, on the
other hand, like tubs, they are to
stand on their own bottoms, we see
no reason why they should have any
advantages over other bodies polite
or over private individuals. There
seems as much reason to US for ex-
empting good man from taxation
as for exempting a good body of
men; indeed. more, for good man
may often be in want, body of men
is usually able to help itself.
