We sincerely hope that this Pine
Land steal. in the shape of repeal of
presumption laws, AMI the opening up
of reservations, will meet with the
fate that it deserves. In the face Of
the corruption and fraud of the past
twenty years, alj the exposures that
are being, every day, made, it is
simply wonderful that any set of men
representing the people OF these
United States, should allow themselves
to be induced to sacrifice the best in
terestS of the country to crafty and
enrich rings whose assaults on the
public domain and treasury are as
ingenious as they are successful. It
has now reached Il period in the his
tory of this country when constituen.
cies dem IND that their representatives
rep resent the people and not the
people plunderers. and it is to be hop
ed that the democrats in congress will
see to it, that the Minnesota delega-
ton return with, at least, as little to
blush for as when they left home.

Judge Tourgee is waltzing into the
republican party in his usual vigorous
style. for not using the surplus rev.
enue to educate the negro III the
South. The judge claims, and truly
too, that the colored people of the
South were made voters in hot haste,
lest the republican party should be
defeated in presidential contest.
Since this contest, the republican
party, has been trying by every means
in its power to shirk the responsible
ity of its own action. 1t has been
trying to shake the negro voter and
disclaim all responsibility for his pres
ent or future. The Southern repub.
licans used to be priced for the votes
they might bring at an election, but
now that their votes do not count in !.
presidential contest, they are allowed
to quietly drop out, and shift for
themselves. In 1868 the republican
party rushed the negro into citizen
ship, land invented southern republi-
can party, nine-tenths of the voters
of which could not read OF write, in
order to get electoral votes to secure
the presidency.

ARE WE TO HAVE 4 PANIC!

Timid people who have witnessed
financial disasters in this country Of
periodical crises, and who fancy they
see in some recent large business fail
ures the shadows that indicatescon4i
events, are now asking themselves the
question care we going to have Il
financial crash followed by a general
panic in monetary circles 2" To such
we answer, no. These failures, at
this time, instead OF precipitating a
ruinous crisis, will, in our Judgment,
be the very means of averting such
calamity, national usually in its scope.
because it is simply warning to the
wise to take in sail. ANY other coun-
try on the Globe, indulging in our ex.
travagancies, would have a crash
annually, while we are only protected
against the same results by reason of
almost inexhaustible natural adyan-
tages and resources. III ante bellum
days a fortune of one hundred thousand
dollars was deemed ample to supply
an income sufficient to meet all the
requirements Of our proudest families,
but consequent upon the inflated 10
tions of contractors and spectators
engendered by our late war, fortunes
running into tens of millions have now
become insufficient to satisfy the de-
sires of shoddy aristocracy. From
this popular mania, then, to amass
fortunes of millions from nothing,
during the short period Of one IS life,
it is no wonder that, from day to day.
large failures in business are brought
to our notice, Nowadays it is COM
mon to see man with capital of two
hundred thousand dollars doing
larger business tf1au can 1egitimately
be done on a sound basis of one hum
dred thousand dollars. and these are
daily coming to grief, while those
who have been transacting their busi-
ness upon business principles, avoid
ing wildcat schemes to grasp idden-
ly great fortunes, are to-day prepared
for the depression which merely
means the wedding out Of the weak
and crippled.
We are not prepared to credit the
belief that the business of this country
is il the condition Of row of bricks
set on end so that if you knock the
first against its neighbor the whole
will fall to the ground; on the other
hand, we believe that the country
is, in reality. prosperous because
Of fair crops,a ,anl the balance Of trade
preponderating largely in our favor,
and that the present scare will evolve
a Tar healthier business Status for
some years to come. But while we
do not imagine that these fears of the
timid are we'll founded, we cannot
but advise frugality and economy in
expenses, and caution in all CONNER
cial transactions.

The one chief feature of speaker
CarliSle's s committees that the country
has very generally and gratefully
recognized, is just the one that
Messrs. Cox and Springer seem to
have overlooked. 1t is conceded that
never before were men more generally
and clearly assigned to the committees
on the single ground of fitness, than
by the new speaker, and it is unfortu-
nate that Messrs Cox and Springer
incline to a hasty dispute with the
speaker when the general sentiment
Of the country approves of fitness as

the Swedish Foreign Office will send

cat anything without it nauseating

known exactly how much his stomach
would hold. On one occasion, it Is
said, he ate eight small cans of oysters,
several cans OF peaches, besides crack

eight or ten glasses of beer, and then
afterward, when asked 10 sing song,
he wanted to know whether they ex-

SUNLIGHT in stables.

We tried an experiment some years
since TO test the absence of sunlight on
a calf. We had two deep red calves of
the same age (sixty days., one weigh
inc $50 pounds and the other 1872
pounds. The latter VIC placed in a
darA room, with a trough that could
be filed by a spout through parti-
ton. The other was confined in the
same amount Of space, but in full light,
and both were fed just exactly alike for
the next three months. The object was
to test the effect Of light upon such a
growing animal. At the end of the
three months the one in the light
weighed $50 pounds and the one in the
dark weighed $50 pounds and its color
had faded to a very pale, dirty red. Its
ewes were so much affected that when
admitted to the light it kept them
closed most of the time for the first
week or two. The two calves were
kept on together, but the one from the
dark room never fully recovered from
this three months of darkness. ltnev-
er recovered its deep red color, though
the color improved. ANY one who
noted these Two calves during this ex-
pertinent would never doubt the i'm
policy of dark stables. Lite Stock Jour-

Stock Management.

The farmer should keep enough
stock to consume all the hay, grain
and surplus produce that is raised
on the farm, as by SO doing he will
generally get better price for what
he raises, and it will be much easier
marketed. The farmer should guard
well against overstucking, which is a
prominent fault with those farmers
who estimate their profits by the
number OF COWS and hogs they have
without regard to the condition they
are in. Care should be exercised in
the selection of stock. Having COM
menced, it costs much to retrace
ones steps. The farmer who ex-
pends his money for poor, degener-
ate stock simply because they are
cheap can be called anything but
prudent, and has surely spent his
money almost, if not quite, useless
ly. First determine what breed OF
stock suits you best, ond after you
have commenced stick to your line
Of breeding. Do not be influenced
by all that you may hear or read,
and keep changing. Don't buy in
different stock because they have Il
good pedigree, believing what some
may tell you, viz: that they have
good blood in them, but that they
have had bad usage, and that by
caring for them rightly you may
breed them up. Do not practice in
and-in breeding, for few make a sue
cess, although fine stock are produc-
ed by those who know how far to
carry it. Always feed well, but do
not overfeed. Do not spoil your
best stock by overfeeding in order
to compete for a premium. Pro-
vide good shelter for your stock. 1t
is absurd to suppose that stock will
do wsll exposed to all extremes with
out a shelter. Some will winter and
lay on fat, but they will fatten a
good deal faster, and with less food,
when they have good warm shed.
Do not invest a dollar in stock un-
less you intend to take good care of
1t, summer and winter, hot or cold.
When they need your care, give ii
to them.-Fdrmer's Call.

preparation will hereafter be simply
Pdrker's Tonic. The word "Ginger"
is dropped, for the reason that un-

inferior preparations under the name

important iavoring ingredient in
our Tonic, we are sure that our

be no change, however, in the prep
