The Western Farmers.

Minneapolis Tribune.

of prosperity to the Western farmers. There
is no class Of equal average means who live
SO well as they do. One of these possessing
a farm and buildings will gather about hin

cities. He may live in a more commodious
dwelling than a metropolitan citizen havirs

carriages and horses. His table may be sup
piled with everything fresh in its season
His labor is less wearing than the toll OF
contingencies and offices, and he has morel
leisure There can be no reason why he
should not be contented with his calling, an,
he should instil into the mind of each of his
BOYS the necessity of becoming farmers in
stead of hocking into the cities for the pur,
pose of learning profession, or for any othe 4
purpose. Let him remain on the farm and
follow the calling of his father He will
find by doing SO that when old age comes on
he has missed all the misery of a city lite.

Sullivan expressed doubts whether the judge
had not given a wrong direction to the minds of
the jury by his question. Judge Denman asked
Sullivan il he could suggest where such evil
dence was, when the jury returned a second
time. They asked the judge the meaning of
"malice aforethought." The judge carefully
defined the law of murder bearing upon that
point as applied to the present case, quoting
authorities in support Of mis- definition and ap
phcatOn. The jury again retired, and returned
in four minutes with verdict of willful murder.
When Judge Denman asked ODonnell If he
had anything to say why sentence of death
should not be passed upon him, ODoCnell made
no reply. The judge then passed sentence of
death in the usual form. The prisoner now
wanted 10 speak. The judge, however, ordered
his removal, and the police seized HIM, when

Why Whisky Goes Abroad.

For three months past whisky has been shipped abroad to Bermuda and Liverpool, not for consumption abroad but for storage. A few years ago some makers of fine whiskies used to send their product around the Horn to San Francisco and bring it back, without taking it out of the vessel until it's re- turn. Connoisseurs asserted that the constant motion of a sailing vessel and the change of temperature gave to the whisky all the effect of three or four years of added age. Ingenious mechani- cal appliances in warehouses and cun- ming devices ill processes of distillation have done away with that system, and movement of whisky abroad until re- gently.
 A prominent dealer said: ''Two causes impel this movement-overpro duction and the law. For at least three years the production has been largely ill excess of the demand. The internal revenue tax of ninety cents Fer gallon on highwines, which amounts to about $1.5 per gallon on rectified whisky, is payable on the expiration of three years after distillation, provided the liquor re- mains in bond in this country that long. But if it is shipped to a foreign port before that time expires and is then re- turned to the United States it will not have to pay the tax for three years more. It is we'll worth the while of distillers to pay about four cents per gallon to ship whisky abroad and as much more to bring it back, when they get three years time allowance for doing it. Most of the whisky now sent abroad comes back in the same bottoms it goes out in, so that not much is lost to American storage by the movement Some whisky, however. is stored in Bermuda, because the rates Of storage there are much lower than here. The whole movement will prob ably amount to 100000 or possibly to 250, GOO barrels"
