FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Protecting stacks,

Few farmers where grain or hay
are largely grown have barn room
enough to properly store all their pro-
duce Stacking is necessary, and with
even the best-made stacks some loss is
inevitable, For grain-stacks a cover
ing Of oil cloth, easily put on and
easily taken off, is the cheapest pro-
lection. But oilcloth cracks in cold
weather, and stacks of hay are best
protected by covering of boards ex-
tending clapboard fashion from the top
down to the bulge on the sides. The
boards are fastened by wires. Seven
or eight feet in width of board will
protect a stack nearly as well as a
barn. The boards. with care in handl-
ing, may be used for number of
years.

Department of Public Works. Here are
warnings that sewerage and the supply OF water
and gas will DO seriously affected by the
proposed excavations In fact, the accumulated
evidence in these many afiidavits Is enough to
alright the timid citizen and to convince him
that this town will be little better than a
bowling wilderness after the cable wreckers get
through with thoir fendish work OF devasta-
ton.
Moreover the relentless Mr.. Wickes has piled
I'D affidavit on affidavit tending to show that
even in Chicago the cable system is rather an
injury than benefit; that it has been the cause
of many deaths and a great number OF broken
limbs and other injuries; that it lanes and
disables horses, smashes trucks and makes
nuisance of itself generally.
The Third Avenue Railroad Company will
soon have the cable system in use on part OF
its uptown tracks, and NEWCOMERS will then
have O chance to study its practical working IN
their streets. But no matter how great
success it may prove in uptown thoroughfares
we may well hesitate about its introduction IN
lower Broadway In one week there might
be more accidents in Broadway below Cham
bers-st. than all the Chicago cables caused in a
month.
The problem Of furnishing additional
facilities for travel in lower Broadway is still in
sadly unsettled condition. The plan OF
running horse cars seems to be viewed with
increased dsfavOr the longer it is considered
That there is great need of extensive additions
to our means of transportation Is plain
The pressure on the elevated lines in commits
sion hours is sufficient proof. properly
constructed underground line would relieve the
overcr0wding of the elevated trains and could
soon be made profitable, SO swift and constant
is the increase in local travel and there need be
no encroachment on the rights of property
owners. But our great capitalists have not
shown much eagerness to invest in underground
railway stock, and the outlook for swift and
comfortable transportation between Union
Square and the Battery is not just now
brilliant.

THE FRENCH DISASTER.

The French situation in TOnquin grows worse
instead of better. General Negrier's losses at
LaDg-SOn are now estimated al ! 800. General
Negrier had 81 him two brigades, numbering
from 1000 to 5000 men. when he led his
column into the interior. Consequently his
losses aggregate 20 per cent OF his entire force ;
and the worst may not yet have been told. In
order to strengthen his army, the garrisons in
the delta were stripped of every available man.
Here follows startling disclosure. From the
frequent reports of reinforcements sent from
France, it seemed safe to infer that the army Of
occupation was at least 10000 strong. Our
correspondent states that there were only
10000 troops in Tonquin last mouth, and
that at least 5000 were disabled, leaving only
$4,000 for active service. The demoralized
brigades are rctreating to a base of operations
occupied by only 1000 troops. The delta is
well-nigh defenceless.
The plight of the politicians is almost as
desperate as the military situation. M. BrssOn
has declined to form Ministry and Presiden.
Grevy is forced to fall back upon NJ. de
Fieycinet and the Senatorial group which has
boen in office twice before. The dispatches, as
we write, do not contain any distinct assurance
of the success of this curious expedient. NJ de
Freycinet is not an advocate of what is known
as the Forward" policy in foreign affairs. In
tho Egyptian negotiations preceding the
bombardment of Alexandria he was indeed so
reluctant to adopt an aggressive policy that he
finally allowed England TO intervene single
handed, and thus brought the Dual Control TO
close. Ii seems a fantastic caprice of
political fortune that this timorous statesman,

THE SEIZURE or THE COLON.

1t is to te hoped that Commander Kane, OF
the Galena, can explain his alleged inaction
when the revolutionists at Aspinwall seized an
American steamer with her officers, the Paclhc
Mail Company's local representatives, United
States Consul, and one of the Ga!ena's officers,
and held them until a consignment of arms on
the Colon was surrendered. 1t is not to Dc
believed that the dispatch was correct which
stated that q the American and English war
aships did nothing to protect foreign interests
abecause the revolutionary chief declared that
ahe would resist their interference by force"
The occurrence az first described is indeed so
extraordinary that there must be some mistake
about it to account for the inaction OF the
Galena and the English war-vessels. The
British, at least, are seldom backward IN
defending the interests of their own people, but
they could not be expected to do for Americans
what an American naval commander declined
to undertake. The seizure of the Consul would
appear to have constituted so unmstakabe an
aggression upon the flag that Commander
Kane need OF have waited for special orders.
That he preferred to wait may be regarded
as indicating that the affair did not appear to
those on the spot so important as the dispatches
represent it. This seems the more probable
since q very moderate demonstration on the
part of any of the foreign war-shlps nj
Aspinwall would almost certainly have recalled
the revoutiOnists to their senses, ana caused
them to confne their aggressions to their own
neighbors and compatriots, who are so used to
that sort OF thing that they do not mind 1t
much. Secretary Whitney appears to have
acted theoretically upon the case. and ms we
doubtless have navy enough for the occasion
this is well, for it is really a little too much to
have the flag trampled by Colombian
revolutionary rii-ra1.

NEW LINES FOR CITY TRAVEL.

The promoters OF the great system of cable
lines which has been laid out for this city can
hardly feel encouraged by reading of the mass
of afdavits which Assistant Corporation
Counsel Wckes filed Yesterday. The proposed
gridironing" of Manhattan Island has excited
the opposition of city officials, and. the cable
men, who have been struggling resolutely
against heavy odds, have the hardest part of
their fight before them. The Mayor who may
be supposed to have inspired the action of the
Corporation Counsel's Office, is formidable
antagonist in contest OF this sort, as the
advocates OF the new parks az we'll as the
promoters of cable cars are finding out TO their
dismay. Clear-sigated, quick witted, fertile in
resources, fruitful in expedients, he goes in to
win and never seems to know when he is
beaten. Checked at one point, he makes a
vigorous assault at another, and does not quit
the field until everyart of legitimate warfare is
exhausted.
Certainly the cable men will have a big task
TO break the force of these aifdavits, which are
likely TO affect public sentiment strongly. Here

POLITICAL PREJUDICE IN FLORIDA.

POLITICAL PREJUDICE IN FLORIDA.
Governor Perry, of Florida, has written a
letter 20 deny that politics had any thing to do
with the killing of Postmaster Able lie says
that Florida is free from political prejudice.
Governor Perry is, however, poor authority on
such Hquestion. 1t is only few weeks ago
tina, he approved bill to abolish the city gov
ernment of Pensacola, and TO provide for tho
government of that city by q commission APP
pointed by himself. The sole re ison for that
outrageous measure was the fact that Pensacola
elected Republican Mayor and Council. 1t
now has Democratic Commission.
Not county in that State has tho right to
elect single officer excepting a constable. All
other officials are appointed by the Governor.
A Republican county with 5000 majority has
all Democratic officers. No Republican is al
lowed n voice as TO how he shall be taxed, or his
money expended for any purpose whatever.
TO add TO that shameful condition of things, the
Governor and Legislature abolished Pcnsacola'S
city government.
Yet this modest Governor says that no
political prejudice exists in the State. One
thing is sure: the organized baud of murderers
on Sara Sofa Bag exhibited good deal OF
prejudice for some reason or other, and 1t had
q peculiarly deadly effect on Republicans.
