Condition Of Northwestern Farm Animals.

In the April report of tho commissioner of
agriculture, just issued, is found some inter
esting information regarding the condition of
other states. The reports are almost uniform

from all causes during the past year will not
exceed AZ per cent Hogs are also in good
condition. In Minnesota and Iowa horses are

have been very healthy. Reports from Dakota
are to the effect that the general health of live
stock throughout the territory has been excep-
tionally good. The condition of cattle is above
the average. The low prices for grain are
causing more attention to be given to stock,
especially in the southern part where farmers
are paying more attention to dairying and stock
raising. Hogs have been fully up to the aver
age. Sheep are in a better condition than an
average. The health of horses during the past
year III Montana has not been as good as during
1852. Several diseases appeared, but tho loss
will not exceed 3 per cent. forthe past fifteen
months. Cattle are not in as good condition
as usual. The loss from that and snow cover
ing up the feed, was confined mainly to cattle
that were driven into Montana last summer
and fall. They were not accustomedto sus-
tain themselves on grass in winter, and there
fore many died for want of food. The loss is
about s per cent. Sheep and hogs are in good
condition.

A murderer was executed at White

A murderer was executed at White
Plains, N. Y. last week. He insisted
on having his picture taken the day be-
fore his execution, and ''posed for an
artist in front of his cell, expressing
great anxiety that the likeness and po-
sition should be good, as the pictures
would not be fnishedin time for himto
see them. He spent his last day on
earth eating fried oysters, smoking
cigarettes, receiving flowers and seeirg
all the visitors who called ct the jail.
AS Hundreds of women" are said to
have visited him, he was naturally kept
busy and had very little time to atte1d
t e reading of the death warrant or to
trouble himself about his parents. The
authorities are much to blame for allow
ing this sort of nonsense, which wou d
not be tolerated anywhere but in the
United States. It is wrong and mis-.
chievous to o degree that can scarcely
be conceived by those who have had
but little experience of criminal life and
characters.

A liquor bill has been introduced into
the Senate by Senator Ingalls, of Kan
sas, that seems to be a double-e edged
measure, it proposes to so change the
present laws with respect to the special
tax imposed by the general government
on the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors, as to provide that col
lectors of internal revenue shall be pro-
hibited from receiving such special taxes
or granting permits or licenses for car
rying on the business of Wholesale or re-
tail liquor dealers OF brewers in any
state OF municipality i'll which the car
rying on of such business is contrary to
state or municipal laws, and that the
payment of any tax imposed by internal
revenue laws for carrying on such bus
mess shall not be held to exempt any
person from any penalty imposed by
state laws for carrying on the same.

The Cincinnati newspapers are still
trying to exculpate themselves from the
charge of netting the late riot, but
they find it q difficult matter. The
truth is, that instead of the so-called
dangerous classes" being at the bot
tom of the bloody affair, it was respec-
table newspapers and respectable pub
lie speakers. Had they exhibited ordi-
nary common sense there would have
been no riot. Undoubtedly the riot
will work reform where reform was
greatly needed, but that could have
been accomplished without bloodshed
and destruction of property.
