We fear the farmers of this county
are making grave mistake in dis
posing OF their young stock. Hun
dreds of young stock have lately been
shipped from Morris to Montana to
be fattened and then to be rs-shipped
to the east. Amy who is familiar
with the nutritive properties of our
natural grasses must know that stock
can be fattened here as readily as in
Montana and, considering the market
advantages of our county, at a more
profitable figure. It will cost but a
triAe to keep stock until the fall and
its value will be enhanced thirty per
cent. Farmers should sell their old
COWS and oxen but hold on to the
young ones, if possible.

L GIRuce 10 Europe

The understanding between
France and Germany for co-oppera-
lion against England continues 10
be the leading fact in the diplo-
matte situation. 1t undoubtedly is
the work of Prince Bismarck, who
accomplishes u double purpose in
maintaining it. 1t makes the mill
tary situation on the continent
much less strained than it was. A
France largely engaged in building
up colonial empire in Asia and
Africa, and in fighting the people
whO-as at present in Cambodia
and formerly in Tonquin-do not
appreciate duly the benefits OF
annexation, is not so likely to take
up the policy Of ReUGnche at home.
There is less anxiety about the
Rhine fortresses, since France is
busted with those on the coast of
China. And Bismarck gets the
farther advantage of keeping
England too much occupied to
interfere actively in his projects Of
conquest and colonization. Instead
o. one power, she has two on her
hands, when any question arises as
to the limits of her empire.
We believe, however, that in the
long run England will get the
better of them both. Should a
great war break ont all these new
colonies and settlements would run
run a good chance of coming under
the British flags as promptly as
did the European colonies in Asia
during the wars with Napoleon.
Everything would depend upon
comparative naval efficiency, aud
we have no assurance that the
great fleets of France and Germany
would be able TO resist that of
Great Br itain. The habit Of naval
service is in the English blood. 1t
is so foreign to France that even
in the war with Germany she was
able to make no efficient use Of her
ships along the German coast. To
Germany the service on the sea IS
still more novel and out Of the line
of national practice. 1t may be,
therefore, that these new colonies
will only make France and Ger
many the more valuable in case Of
"A great war.

TramlciIng in Infants.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-A white
child, five or six weeks old, was
d 'ScOyered yesterday by an officer
Of the Humane Society in a Chinese
opium joint at No. 26j South Clark
Street. The place, which is a FL.
thy basement, was occupied By
seven adult Chinese, one of whom
was a woman, and all were engag.
ed in smoking opium. \ dense
smoke filed every cieyicc, and the
infant, sick AMI Wheeling with a
mild form OF croup, lay in a little
crib. W lat use the foreigners had
for the baby the officer could not
divine, but he was satisfied that it
could not live long in that atmos-
phere and with such heathenish
lack Of care.
The proprietor of the place, who
said his name was Kong Wa
Long, told the officer that his
friend, Lee Wang, who lived at the
corner Of Thirty.iirst Street and
Cottage Grove Avenue, aud whose
wife IS a German Woman, was
given a white baby a few weeks
ago. II pleased Kong Wa Long
so well that he asked Mrs. Lee
Wang to get him a white baby to
bring up, and said he would pay
her Sc. She conducted him to
Mrs. Rosa Reitmeir, a midwife,
who it Is said, agreed to sell him
a child as soon rs she found one.
On sunday night she walked into
Kong Wa Longs place and sold
him for So the baby which she
brought in her arms.

Investigation into the condition
Of the auditor Office, at Richmond,
continues to develop new irregl-
larities aud carelessness, particu-
larry on the part Of William X.
Smith, the clerk, who has been
under arrest for some time, charged
with embezzlement. Since his
arrest he has been allowed several
times to go to the auditors office
and has brought to light papers
covering the value Of about S2O,-
900, and Monday a valisc was de-
livered up 10y his wife containing
other papers in the shape Of re-
mitiances from clerks Of various
courts of the State, covering about
the same amount. These papers
Smith had taken to his home to
work up and arrange and they had
there remained, neglected. What
this looseness in the management
Of the auditors Office will amount
to cannot as yet be positively
stated.
