When to sell farm products is a
problem often difficult to satisfactorily
solve. No one of us is wise enough
to certainly predict the course of the
markets, so that holding for an ad-
vance, in prices is sometimes a danger
Gus expedient. Thus there arc many
reasons for believing that corn must
advance in price. 1t is not often that
there are clearer indications of the
course Of prices than now seem to be
presented to us concerning the corn
crop; but it does not necessarily fol-
low that it will be the wiser course to
hold the corn crop. 1t is not posi-
lively know. that the price will great
ly advance. 1t is almost certainly
true that there will be considerable
loss in weight by sArinkagc, with pos
Siblc loss from wastage, theft or fire.
Money may be badly needed now, and
1t is not often advisable to borrow
money when We have farm products
ready for market. As regard live
stock, other elements come in. 1t is
almost impossible to lay down any
general rule concerning time for the
sale Of breeding stock. Generally, we
believe, it is advisable to sell fat ami
mails when they are well ripeued. The
cost of further feeding often more
than eounteF-balances any advance in
price. Especially is this true of fat
in the fall. Often times little
gain isfIRade, even through weeks of
full feed just after winter has set in.
Even if the weather be favorable it is
true that it takes more time and more
food to add given number of pounds
to nearly ripeRed animal than to one
that is only in medium flesh. There
is roomtfor sound Judgment and care
Fnl consideration in deciding on the
sale of any crop, whether vegetable or

Debate ON the isnclIsh Policy.

LONDON, March 3.-A lively scene occurred in
the House of Commons this afternoon. Ques-
tions were put to the government regarding the
condition of affairs in Egypt, which the govern
ment refused to answer, whereupon great excite
ment arose.
Sir Wilfred Lawson, Radical moved the House
adjourn in order to discuss the Soudan problem.
He made a violent attack upon the government
charging it with cowardice, butchery and iingo-
ism.
Mr. Gladstone replied to the structures of Sir
Wilfred Lawson and justified the policy the
government had been pursuing. He asserted it
was necessary to hold Suakim for the present in
order to keep down the slave trade.
Northcote said lack of coherency in the gov
enment's Egyptian policy caused the misfor
tunes in the Soudan 1t was the duty of the
government, he thought, to boldly state their fu
ture policy.
Lord Randolph Churchill expressed the great
est aStOnishment that the Ministry should not
reply to Northcote
Harrington, Secretary Of State for War, stated
the British army would retire from Suakim as
soon as compatible with the safety of the town.
The motion for adjournment was rejected
105 to 1903
The Marquis of Harrington said in the House
of Lords, it was not the proper time to indi-
cate the future policy Of the government in
Egypt. The main immediate object was to Sc
sons, and to provide for the safety Of Suakim,
which was threatened.
Earl Granville said the reports of the mme-
diate withdrawal of the British troops from the
Soudan were absolutely untrue. This statement
was received with loud cheers.

MEXICAN PENSIONS.
The Bill Passes the House without Amend
ment of Any Kind.


ment of Any Kind.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 3-The summary man
ner in which the bill to pension Mexican soldiers
was whirled through the House to-day precluded
the possibility of amending it, as many wished
to- Representative Steele of Indiana, wanted
to offer as amendment the substance of bill
introduced in the Senate last week by Senator
Harrison to pension all soldiers of the late war
who are now disabled from any cause, whether
such disability grew out of service or not. Mr.
Steele says he sees no reason why soldiers in the
late war who saw service of from one to four
years, should be refused PENSIONS whilst by
this BILL men who never smelled gunpowder in
battle some of whom were graduated from West
Point, and, becoming deserters, entered the late
war and fought against the Union, should be
given pensions He thinks the fact
that soldier of the Mexican
who served with the Confederacy
in the late war should operate
against him and deny him pension. ''Notwith-
standing we had in theUnion army, in the late
war; 2S59 1872 men, said Mr.. Steele, against
101, 282 in the Mexican war; there were lost in
the former one man in every forty-six, killed or
died of wounds, while in the latter only one man
was lost out of every ninetysix. There would
be more justice in pensioning all soldiers who
served their country in the late war, than in
passing the bill which went through the House to-
day. By the figures given, it is seen that there
were twice as many dangers and hardships
countered in the late war as there We're in the
Mexican war, The Democrats say they will be
willing to pension the soldiers of the late war at
the end of thirtyseven years, the length of
time the Mexican soldiers have waited, They
have a mental reservation in saying this, it is
believed, and that reservation is a provision for

Examination of the EX-Marshal Before the

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Ex Marshal Strobach
again before Mr.. Springer's committee to-
day. The witness said the statement of Brews-
ter Cameron that deputy who had been an en-
bezzler was still i'll his employ was "a lie out of

''the committee cannot allow statements of that
character"
Excuse me-" said the witness, 1--WE only

know what you call lie7
In regard to the alleged conspiracy of Strobach
and Turner to remov e United States District
Attorney Smith that Turner might be appointed,
Strohaeh said: ''That conspiracy if it was
conspiracy, was entered upon by me and nine
tenths of the Republicans in the district. Smith
had hsmissed the grand jury before it had an
oppo sGility to do its work. The people thought
something ought to be done. | wrote out
charges, and, being a prominent Republican, it
was thought would be the proper person to ask
the removal of Smith l went to Mr.. Garfield,
and he said Smith had been appointed at the in
stance Of Mr. Sherman, and he did not feel like
removing him."
Did not Smith dismiss the grand jury because
there was no money!" was asked.
''Fhere was plenty of money replied the wit
ness, ''and I'll tell you how it was spent. Smith
demanded in open court that the charge be in
vestigated and witnesses sent for. | refused to
pay out the money for witnesses, believing
Smiths case a personal matter and asked the
Department of Justice for instructions. l was
ordered to pay the money for witnesses, and
that was the way it was spent"
