THERE are various methods which
have been found practicable for the far
mer to prepare bones for manure with
out the use of expensive machinery.
Perhaps the cheapest method of reduc-
ing bones is by layering, in pits, with
four times the bulk of WOOD ashes ana
the same of fresh lime, to be molstened
with water and shoveled out soft III
three or four months. Another plan is
to break them up as finely as possible
and put them in hole in the ground
and pour over them about forty pounds
of oil of vitriol to each hundred pounds
of bones, and work the mass over with
poles until the mass is uniform. TWO
or three days will answer for TINS opera
ton. Bones may also be dissolved by
filing a barrel with alternate layers OF
wood ashes and fresh bones. slightly
wetting it from time to time with not
water.

Boston, and was formerly an officer in the
United States army.
In regard to his Alaskan railroad project
he says that the mining regions and the fur
trade of the region to be opened up by this
proposed line will fully warrant its construc-
ton. He also believes that a system OF
snow sheds can be devised by which the
tracks can be protected from the heavy
snowfalls of the severe winter, But Gen.
Ihrie would not have his line stop at Alaska.
He says that the Russians are already begin
in g to cross Siberia with railroads. sit is
only question of time when st. Petersburg
will be connected by rail with the coast at
Behring's Strait. China will in time have
railroad line along the eastern coast line"
Gen Ihrie would have huge ferry-boats con-
meet at the northwest point OF Behring's
Strait with the two railroad lines if the water
was open. Huge sleds could be used in the
winter. When all this is brought about pas
sengers can take Pullman through car for
Europe for at least six months In the year.
Gen. Ihrie believes the European traffic
would be very heavy. Many people do not
go to Europe because of their fear OF the
dangers of the sea. The greater time re-
quired for an all-rail journey to Europe
would be compensated by the variety of
country seen and the gre alter safely insured.
All rail to China would be possible under
this system. Gen. Ihrie believes that ''this
railway project is one of the certain things
to occur in the next twenty-five years at
any rate.'

The present condition Of things does not
find the Republican party in happy tate of
mind AS was said of old, there are wars
and rumors Of wars, as 1t were, and thought
full men are not willing to wear the machine
collar for the benefit of those persons who
make business of politics. The New York
Independent, religious journal, Republican
in preference and sentiment, speaks pun
gently of its party as follows: ''The Presi-
Dental "boom- akers'' in the Republican
party this year are having an exceedingly
hard time of it. Several 'booms' have been
started for different candidates, but some
how they are no sooner fairly under way than
they begin to show signs of collapse. The
simple truth is that the general political tenn
per Of the Republican party in this country
is not now Of the type that favors the creation
of 'booms' in behalf Of anybody. The worst
thing that ss,1 happen to any would-be Re-
publican can>-ste for the presidency would
be to have it generally understood that set
of political wire-pullers have taken him into
their special charge, and have undertaken to
''fx' things so as to secure his nomination.
This would be almost certain to defeat his
nomination; and if nominated in this way
he would stand very poor chance of being
elected. The day of the Conklings, the Cam
erons, and the men of their stripe, has
passed away, as we hope, never to return"
The same paper continues speaking freely,
and particularly of the ''bosses," and ven
lures to advise Republicans how to conduct
their forthcoming convention at Chicago,
if they would hope for success, and ringing
ly concludes, ''Let us have no blunders in
respect to men or Methods Unless there
are amazing ''blunders'' in the Democratic
convention, the Republican convention will
not produce the fruit of success this year.

ANOTHER BULLY DAY.
s. B. Calls at the Banks, the Post
Office and Looks Into Things
Generally.

s'He is not much of fnancier," remarked
Major Mclaughlin yesterday in referring to
Mr. S. Bull, the whilom hair litter, as the
latter's gaze sized up pile of glittering
shekels in the Second National bank. 1t
was the first time that Sitting Bull had been
in one of Uncle Sans banks, and he mani
tested the utmost interest and curiosity at
the big bundles of bank bills, and the shin
ing heaps of gold.
In the afternoon he was taken to the post
office, where he was initiated into the mys-
teries of the mail service. Notwithstanding
the insinuation made at the commence
ment of this article, there are reasons for
believing that his recumbent nobs has
learned the Yankee trick of turning an hon
est penny. This weakness is manifest by
the alacrity with which he signs his autograph
at the rate of 81 per signature.
Last night the party visited the Olympic
theater, and the great American squatter
was highly edited at the classic character of
the performance. He was especially pleased
at the performance of Miss Oakley, the crack
shot, and the handy manner in which this
amazon handled a rifle was the occasion OF
hearty applause from the willy brave, who
may have been reminded that in his palmy
days he was no SLOUGH himself. Major
Mclaughlin, it is expected, will return to

Il NdJORITY OF Il QUORUM CAN ACT.
The fine point raised that four affirmative
votes are required to pass motion in the
board of county commissioners, would, if en-
forced, invalidate two thirds of
all the BUSINESS ever transacted
by that body. 1t is parliamentary
and legal usage in all bodies that the majority
Of quorum is sufficient to carry motion or
resolution. 1t is not likely that any attorney
can be found, whose legal opinion is worth
considering, who will say that any other con-
struction of the statute is admissible.
Apropos to this matter we have received,
entirely unsolicited, the following communi
cation from Hon. John B. Brisbin:
To the Editor of the Globe:
Sec. SO of the act regulating the proceed
ings of the county commissioners reads:
GA majority of the board of commissioners
shall be quorum, but no business shall be done
unless voted for by majority of the whole
board"
The meaning and intention of this section
are transparent. A quorum shall be ma
jority of the board, but no business can be
taken mp except when voted for by a majority
of the whole board. A majority of quorum
can organize and adjourn but cannot proceed
to business without at least quorum vote. If
business is proceeded with by such vote or by
tacit consent, which amounts to the same thing
q measure acted upon is carried by majority
of the quorum. The object of the provision
was to prevent the lapse of meetings and to
give power to the minority of q quorum to
prevent action as the public interests might
in instances seem to require. My recollec-
ton is that 1 drew the bill for an act of which
this is a part. j. B. BRIsB1N

TIE farmers of Minnesota, who are de-
hberating in convention at st. Paul, relative
to their grievances, approach the vital plan
for relief with great caution and reluc-
lance. They are very largely afraid
to cut loose from the political
organization to which they are welded and
apparently prefer to be scourged and robbed
for the sake of ''the grand old party"
If 1the1 farmers of northern Minnesota had
accepted the issue made in 1878
they would have been happy,
independent and prosperous to-day, in
stead of having to be meeting to organize for
relief. The so-called ''brass kettle' campaign
afforded the key for agricultural independ
ence. If it had been properly adopted, it
would have learned the politicians that
the farmers were to be courted
rather than snubbed. Success at that time
would have been of more practical value
than all the conventions of late years. When
the farmers are ready to trample their politi-
al ties beneath their feet and strike out for
temselvcs, they will command and receive
their rights,

OF the recent performance of the play New
York exchange says:
Irish Aristocracy'' was given last even
ing at the Peoples theatre, with Billy Barry
and Hugh Fay in the principal characters,
The large audience present was kept in
continuous laughter by the humor and
mirth-provoking by-play of these two comedi-
ans. Fay as the would-be aristocratic Irish
man and Barry as his jolly old-fashioned
friend were inimitable. The various incl
dents followed one another in quick success
sion and the humor of the play and the at
tention of the audience were sustained
throughout The three-handed reel in the
last act still retains its former popularity and
was three times redemanded.

THE DRAMA AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Entertainments by the Pupils on
Stage Fitted Up by Themselves.

The pupils of the st. Paul High school have
been very quietly but assiduously at work for
a number of weeks in fitting up the stage in
the high school hall with scenery, footlights,
carpeting, ETC., wherein to fttingly produce
both farce and comedy whenever their youth
full intellects aspire to dramatic heights. In
pursuance of this commendabe ambition,
having purchased several pieces of scenery
from the stock of the old Opera house, they
have added to these a modern street and d
parlor scene, the handiwork Of Fred Powers,
of their own number, while others have con-
tributed their skill in other departments of
labor, until up to the date of yesterday after
noon they began to feel like claiming that
they had the best stage fitting in the city next
to the new Grand.
Their only unfinished stage attraction to
be added to the ten scenes already set or
hung in the flies is the interior of a sleep
ing car which is to be provided with veritable
car seats, car lamps and to be a representa-
ton to the life Their stage has depth of
twenty-four feet with the same width of pro-
cenium. The cost of these fittings will be in
addition to their own labor about $500, which
they propose to raise by entertainments on
Thursday and Friday evenings, March 81
and %, with a matinee on the afternoon of
Saturday, the &c, at which they viii produce
comedy entitled ''The Sleeping Car"
written by w. D. Howell.
This will be followed with Shakespeare
midsummer Nights Dream,' at a fifty cent
admission to every part OF the house except
behind the scenes. The orchestra, ten
strong. will be composed also of high school
uupils under the leadership of Prof. F. w.
q. PREM. They deserve for their enter
prise crowded houses at each and every per-
Torrance. and they will have them too, for

ewes. and hear with our own ears what oul
own boys and girls are capable of in the way
