Austin Register: The prospect Of
six hundred thousand COWS chewing
the quid of tranquility and profit in
Minnesota in five years is something
to lend 9 lamor Of interest to the
dairymen s convention at Faribault
last week and at Mankato this week.
What tremendous change this
almost countless herd can effect il
the methods and results of Minneso-
ia farming cannot be estimated. At
our last tanners meeting it was
shown by competent authority that
we'll kept COWS average Sal. net,
each, per year. At that rate, six
hundred thousand COWS would Gre
ate revenue of $24, 100000 for
Minnesota farmers in one year. Let
US hang to the cow, and if she is
bob-tailed let us hang to her horns,
and If she is a muley let US embrace
her about the neck.

It was discovered in the Senate,
when the House bill for the restora.
ton Fitz John Porter was favoras
bly, reported to it for consideration,
that the bill had been so adroitly
framed as to contain clause which,
if enacted, would be likely to insure
the payment to Porter Of back pay
to the amount Of $4,000. And yet
this provision of the bill had chal.
lenged and passed the scrutiny of
the House undetected. Upon the dis.
covery being made, it was amended
in this particular, so that if the
bill now gets through the Senate,
it will have to 60 back again to the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Feb. 20, 1884,
Notwithstanding the fact that
the House of Representatives has,
during the last six weeks had re-
peated suggestions that it is not
making satisfactory progress with
the business Of the session, it seems
impossible for the body to settle
down to steady work, valuable time
is daily fitted away in triaes, and
small men, and small measures are
allowed to occupy the hours that
should be devoted to serious matters.
There is every indication that the
session will end with long list of
neglected duties, and that much of
the great work with which this Con-
gress is especially charged, will be
left to be- rushed through in an un.
digested mass during the few days
and nights preceding adjournment.
In view of this danger it is we'll to
remember that the sins of the Forty
eighth Congress will rest on the
responsible ma ority and can by no
means be found on Republican
skirts. ......
The Democratic committee which
met and adjourned during the week
selecting the eighth of July and
Chicago for holding the nominating
convention, was true to the tradi.
t,ons Of the party in following the
Republicans both in the time and
place OF opening the campaign.
There is, of course, much specula.
ton as to the bearing which the
selection has on the chances of the
several prospective candidates.
The long financial debate on the
Mcpherson bill is still pending in
the Senate, but it is likely to close
early in the week, and there il little
doubt it will also pass the House.
The Congressional library bill, that
on pleuro.pneumonia, andthe Next
can pension bill will be considered
by the lower branch of Congress
during the week. Representative
Browne of Indiana, has an amend.
ment to offer to The latter which
will give the Democrats some an
moyance. It is to pension every
soldier who served one year in tn e
Union army Of the late war wheth-
er he was injured or not. The Re-
pubicans will maintain that as the
Democrats propose to pension Mex
ican soldiers on that plan they can
not refuse the same benefit to SOL
diers Of the Union. A bill to ex-
tend the bonded period of whiskey
is to be favorably reported to the
House, and the whiskey men are
pleased with it as being one that
will probably pass. The House
passed the Military Academy appro-
prlation bill after a lively but rath-
er irrelevant discussion concerning
the standard Of admission at the
West Point preliminary examina-
tlons, some contending it was too
high to enable the poorer boys OF
the country, who have not the
means for thorough preparation,
to obtain admission there. Mr.
