Don t Keep Too Many.

We have on more than one occasion
cautioned our readers against keepino
too many fowls. There are various
good reasons for such recommendation
First, most people will take better care
of small or moderate sized flocks. They
are fed better, housed better, and Law
more eggs than when large numbers are
huddled together. Second, small or
moderate fiocks under these circumstan-
ces will be less liable to diseases, all
ment or vices; and that is something
worth considering.
Surplus stock are nuisance in the
poultay quarters. They eat as much as
the hens and yield no return for the feed
consumed. Where fowls have their lib
erty, one cock to a flock of twenty to
twenty-five hens is enough, but where
they are restricted to small runs one
cock to six hens will be necessary.
Some writer's recommend the keeping
of no cocks at all where hens are kept
to supply eggs for house use. We do
not agree with this recommendation
We think that the fowls do better when
there is a cock with them. But we never
keep any surplus cocks-it don't pay.
But when one keeps few hens merely
for their eggs to use in the house the
general results will be better by keeping
cock too.
Under whatever circumstances fowls
are kept, or for whatever purposes, don't
keep too many together.-EG.

Well Said.

We cannot but admire the northern men
who have the boldness to speak out in
favor OF abolisling the internal-revenue
department OF the Government. We have
heretofore quoted what Mr.. McADoo, OF
New Jersey, had to say on this subject.
We now wish to call attention to striking
remark which was made in the House of
Representatives last week by Mr.. BRUAN,
OF Pennsylvania. He said:
al the so-called surplus troubles you so
much, why do you not abolish the inter-
nal revenue and protect the home-producer
against foreign competition, instead Of
crushing out the home-producer and pro-
tecting the foreign monOpolistS
"a better system OF protecting your
farmer is to so reduce the tax on all alco-
holic spirits and all that goes INTO the
making OF liquors, and even on your to-
bacco. II had time should like to dis
cuss this question from temperance
standpoint, and TO show that even as tenn
perance-men, In order to be consistent
with the temperance doctrine, we ought
to advocate the taking OF the tax from
liquors and tobacco"
"Why, there is not q whiskey-dealer
that Is not praying and begging to have
the tax kept on. The monopoly has driven
all other men out Of the whiskey business
except the rich nabobs In Kentucky and
other States, and yet you charge us with
being monopolists."
Yes, that whiskey ring Is monopoly In.
deed. The. internal tax on whiskey ena.
bles it to monopolize the business OF
making that article. 1t has its lobby al
Washington whenever there seems to be
any danger that its favorite tax will be
abolished.

The Electors.

Colonel Tom WHITEHEAD is a lawyer in
fullpractice. He writes hefollowing para
graph:
"Shall we lose one electoral vote from
Virginia? From our examination OF the
law IL appears to rest with the Governor.
Will he call an extra session for the pur-
pose OF saving an electoral vote, except
upon the demand Of two thirds OF the
LEGISLATURE What about approving such
bill as may be necessary to enact the
amendment"
We are not authorized to speak for Gov
ernor CAMERON, but we think we know
HIM well enough TO say that beyond a
doubt he would approve such a bill as the
Advance alludes to. We wouldn't do him
the injustice OF supposing that he would
hesitate even moment before performing
so plain duty.
II is not so certain that he would be
willing to convene the General Assembly
in extra session unless two thirds OF the
members make formal request upon him
so to do. He may argue that IL the matter
be so important, there ought to be no diff
ucuitt III pioOhinS tHo requisite oiSh"-
lures. He may assign other reasons for
declining to assume the responsibility OF
calling an extra session. But we are in
clined TO the opinion that he will be more
likely to take the bull by the horns.
Mr.. HAYES was elected by only one ma
jority even after the Republicans had
stolen the votes Of Louisiana, South Caro-
lima, and Florida. 1t is not at all impossi-
BILE that the election Of this year may be
equally close, but il is not likely. Never
theless, the Democrats Of Virginia would
never be forgiven by their brethren IN the
other States il through any neglect on
their part the Office Of President OF the
United States should again be secured by
the Republican party.

Death of Judah p. Reuiamtu.

Judah p. Benjamin, who died In Paris
Wednesday night, was born In Santo Do
mingo in 1872, Of Jewish parents, who
emigrated to Savannah, Ga. in 1916. Jul
dab Z. Benjamin entered Yale College I'm
1925, but left without graduating. In
1881 he settled in New Orleans, studied
law, supporting himself by teaching; was
admitted to the bar In 1884, and soon took
rank among the most distinguished advo-
Gates at bar remarkable for learning and
ability. He also soon became prominent
as politician, attaching himself to the
Wing party. In 1852, when only forty
years Of age, he was elected to the United
States Senate, where he soon allied
himself with the Democrats, and was
reelected In 1859. Early In his sem
atorial career Mr.. Benjamin distin-
gnished himself as a constitutional lawyer,
and one Of the first orators IN body COM

been conspicuous member for nine years.
He was at once appointed Attorney. Gen.

Southern Confederacy, and In August he

OF having been censured by congressional
committee. He, however, retained the con-

among ourselves. The Lynchburg plat
form is broad enough for us all, and, con.
