NV Investigation Of ALLCoCK's Porous
PLASTER shows 1t TO contain valuable and

ga Good Season for Cheese" is the title OF some
what lengthy statistical article In one OF the New
York papers day or two ago. IL is doubtless a
very interesting showing to those interested only
In the commercial side OF the question; but what
the country really wants Is a Season OF Good
Cheese. Just why there should be a marked dete-
noration observable in the quality OF that COM
modify for few years past We do not undertake to
explain but Is safe TO say that the experience of
every housekeeper shows 1t TO be much more diff
cult now TO procure first-rate article Of any Of
the several varieties in market than it was for
merly. Why is IL? Have all the manufacturers OF
that product lost the art OF their calling? or are
they using only skinned milk for cheese making
and thus turning out nothing but the inferior grade
Familiarity known as white oak? The latter
would seem to be the case. as that appears to be
about the only quality obtainable nowadays,
under whatever name il may be sold.

Uncle Sans back yard is still pretty rooTny, in

have been able TO ''get away with" According TO

Office. the estimated area of the public domain yet
unSurveyed, exclusive Of Alaska, is SOC, 494, asa
acres or 10000 square miles. Adding Alaska's
So 900 we get an area equal TO the aggregate OF
the total possessions OF Germany, France, Spain
and Austria Hungary To be sure, there Is good
deal OF rock and ice to the acre In some parts of
this vast domain but there are still immense tracts
OF valuable land open to the settler and there is as
yet no immediate prospect OF a land famine In
this country.

The courtesy usually accorded hx the Senate to

The courtesy usually accorded by the Senate to
members OF that body on personal request is all
very well, so long as It not abused; but where
action on the nomination Of cabinet officer whose
ultimate confirmation is as certain as any thing in
the future can be Is postponed for eighteen days
on the behest OF q single Individual. IL looks as
though there might be danger that the thing will
some day be carried too far. The grave and reverend
segnOrs composing that august assemblage ought
to remember that the courtesy OF respectful treat
ment Is due to people outside as well as inside
their own chamber. The vote or fifty to one shows
that there were no good reasons for the delay in
acting on Secretary McCulloch's name, and the
result when finally reached puts the Senate Itself
rather than that gentleman In an awkward posi-
