The Mortgage.

The worst crop farmer can raise is
amortgage. 1t ia a parasite which is
ever eating into and corroding his pros
perity and happiness. And yet nothing
so tempts farmer as an offer of loan.
II is a sad thing to thoughtful person
to see the frequent advertisements OF
the loan mongers who have NOR cages
on farms to dispose of. American
farmers have a wholesome repugnance
to a Landlord" and pity those unfortu-
nate foreigners who are paying rents
for the land and fields they are working
and improving for other men. But what
difference is there between a farmer
who pays rent of three hundred dol
lars year and one who pays interest
on a mortgage of five thousand dollars?
The landlord is the lighter incubus to
carry and has more mercy than amort-
gagee who sells out the hapless debtor
and loads him up with more debt. At
times correspondents inquire where
loans can be procured In all such cases
the reply should be "Don't;' don't risk
the farm and homestead and the peace
and happiness of a family in that way.
Rather economic in every possible way,
knowing how easy it is to borrow or go
in debt and how hard it is to pay.-M

The Changes That Have Occurred in that

Some of the changes are good. Gre

actually sold his daughter to replace
them. The second pair died soon after,
and then he committed seppuku, vul-

himself or brought discredit on his clan.
Good is the steamer-building. The

A Move Toward Good Government.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 24.-For some
time past there has been much popular
feeling on the subject OF elections and
local government here, and it has been
known that movement was on foot to
organize acommittee of 100 citizens, re-
CARELESS of politics, similar to the com
mittee in Philadelphia, to secure purity
in elections and good local governme mt.
The work has been going on secretly, and
the committee was finally organized yes
terday, when IL issued a declaration OF
principles. This proclamation declares
that the time has come for a thorough re-
form in the municipal government Of
New Orleans and that no office should be
conferred as reward for party services.
The ass ociation declares its purposes to
be the. maintenance the purity of the
ballot; the nomination and election OF
the proper candidates for Office; the
prosecution OF those guilty OF election
frauds. The proclamation. is signed by
100 citizens including the best merchants,
bankers, capitalists, manufacturers, law
yers and others Of this city.

STOCk-RAISlNG.
The Most Profitable Branch OF Arricult-
urRl Economy.

The Most Profitable Branch of AKricuib-
urRl Economy.
There is no pursuit on the farm that
affords greater pleasure or gives such
sure profits as raising stock or operat-
ing a dairy. Not only is the product of
the farm more easily marketed when
fed to the stock, but the fact of convert
Ing it into meat, milk or butter en-
hances its value and increases the prof
its in proportion to the labor expended.
There is another feature in stock-rais-
ing, and one of the most important
which is that the farm becomes richer
every year. Therefore, when comput-
ing the actual profits obtained we should
calculate and enter into the account the
value of the improvement made upon
the farm.
The greater the number of animals
that can be comfortably kept upon the
farm the better. The more stock the
greater the fertility of the soil, and
hence the larger the crops each sue
ceeding year, which in turn permits of
a still! larger number of animals. And
in raising stock the matter of improve
ment is prime factor in the enterprise.
Good feeding is important, but good
feed gives the best results when good
stock only receives it, The breed and
the trough are twin essentials, and can
not be separated without loss Fill the
trough full, but let it be emptied by ami
mails that are capable of converting the
contents into the largest quantity of
available product. There should be no
waste of food nor loss of time. Use the
most perfect animal to be found, if not
too costly, for crossing on common
stock. and thus grade up. Pure breeds,
of course, are best, but if the founda-
ton must be laid on common stock
make it point never to use a mongrel
sire. Aim to improve the stock, and
the stock will improve the fam. The
task is an easy one and requires only
determination to succeed. Farm,
Field and StOcknldB.

Manager Jones of the Bankers & Mer-
chants Telegraph Company to pick out
1--WE first-class telegraph operators TO go
to Siam. Mr.. Jones has picked out the
men from operators in this city, although
he had applications from all over the
country. The men are native Ameri-

PHYSICIANS certificate of good health.
Unmarried men were reject

They are going to introduce the Morse
system and teach Siamese officials as well
as the natives to become operators. The
men leave to-day for San Francisco with

A Far-Reaching Decision.

HENRIETTA, TEX, May 24.-District
Judge Williams delivered an important
decision yesterday; Willis & Bros, of
Galveston sued Byars, on an ironclad
note, wherein Byars authorized any at
torney to confess Judgment. Willis &
Bros, obtained Judgment in Galveston
for $4,000, and sent an execution to Will
barger County and levied on Byars' cat
tie. Judge Williams granted an injunc-
ton restraining any further proceedings
under the execution, holding that the
judgment was absolutely void; that in
order TO obtain valid judgment on such
notes The service of some particular at
torney must be designated on the face Of
the note. Under this opinion a large
number of merchants hold void iudg
ments throughout the State.

ST. PAUL, MINI, May 26.-Undoubt-
eddy the best fight ever seen in the North
west, Marquis of Queensbury rules, regu-
lation gloves, came off last night between
MerviDe Thompson, of Cleveland, o.,
and Billy Wilson (colored) of this city,
at Market Hall, before an audience OF
800 people. Wilson is twenty two
years old, and came from Boston six
months ago. He weighs, in trim, $50
pounds. He fought "Black Starr in
Clarendon Hall, New York to a draw.
Thompson came here confident that he
would easily best his opponent. After a
few seconds of wary spsrring Wilson hit
Thompson a right hand face blow which
dazed him, but he cOuntered and knocked
Wilson into his corner. Wilson returned
with right hand blow behind the ear,
and Thompson fell to the floor like a
stricken OK. He attempted to rise 10 his
feet, but was knocked down again. He
made another effort 10 face his man, bu
was struck behind the ear and fell face
down and perfectly insensible. WheI
time was called Thompson had not 70
covered his senses, and Wilson was de
clared winner. The fight lasted ninet
! seconds.

A SURPRISE IN STORE.

The contrast is heightened by the re-
ports put about by supporters of the adj
Iuinistration that Mr.. Gladstone will
s;tartle the House with surprise" on
Ueassembling after the recess, the "sur-
prise" as understood here, being the an-
nouncement of an alliance between Rus
sia and Great Britain, the premonitory
rumors respecting which began to find
their way into print early in the week. 1t
remains to he seen whether there Is any
truth in the report. What is certainly
known, is that negotiations, apart from
those carried on at the Foreign Office,
have been set on foot by the Premier
himself for complete understanding
as a basis for united action in
Asia. 1t has been the dream of
the past twentYyears of MIR. Gladstone's
life to go down to history as the man who
settled the misunderstanding OF the two
empires, healed their differences and
united them in the bonds of peace and
brotherhood for future devoted to civ
ilizatlon aud benefeent works in Asia.
So great is his ascendancy that he per-
'sua led his colleagues to indorse his doc
trine SO far as to open negotiations frank
ly intended to accomplish the ends in
view. But from the very first it was ap-
parent to every one except the Prime
Minister that while the questions under
discussion were being dallled with on the
basis of sentiment, the problems at issue
were being solved by the sword and by
battsiions outside the sphere of diplo

A RUPTURE THREATENED.

Apart from the financial question the
political issues involved are stated on un-
questionable authority to have re ached a
most serious stage, threatening rup-
ture OF friendly relations at any moment
Unfettered by official responsibility,
tho chiefs of the opposition are spreading
the startling information that negotia-
tions have practically collapsed and that
Russia has thrown aside the mask and
declined every pledge required by the
British Government. If these grave
statements have no foundation in fact the
Marquis of Salisbury, who would be
Prime Minister in case of change of
government, and who was Foreign Secre-
tary when Beacons6eld was Premier, is
responsible. His words at the Tory din
mer, and subsequently, have set the ex-
ample of outspoken utteranccs, and in
the unofficial world it is declared in the
plainest and most unmistakable language
that the pretence of negotiations is a
sham and hollow mockery, and is only
Kept up pending the final preparations
preceding the formal declaration of war.
The sudden plain speaking of4the Tory
leaders Is the more significant by contrast
with their recent reticence. Il III
