THE liquor question is at the front
in the Legislature, but there is very
little prospect that any final result
will be reached at this session. The
Democratic members in caucus have
agreed to submit ansamendment to the
constitution providing for license pure
and simple, in compliance with the
pledge of the platform Of the party.
The Republican members in caucus
resolved to oppose the submission of
such an amendment. Sixty-three
votes in the House and twenty in the
Senate are required to adopt the reso-
lutien submitting the amendment, and
while the Democrats have the twenty
votes in the Senate, they lack three
votes of the necessary number to
adopt it ia the House, and if the Re-
publicans all adhere to the dictation
of king caucus, the measure will be
defeated.

NlEANDERINGS. Nl
CLEVELAND, Feb. IA, 1885.


In last week 8 paper the types make |
me say development of thought"
where it should read development
should be sought" The entire para
graph should read as follows. "In-
stead of wearing out the farm and
seeking other fields, the best farm cul |
ture and development should be
sought, love f acme should be fostered |
aud the farmer should act as though |
he had come to stay"
1t would be interesting to have dis.
cussed, and to learn the views of those |
who remember back for forty years,
as TO the comparative cash value Of the
average annual product of an average
farm of auy given size today, and that |
of a similar average farm twenty five
or forty years ago. / think the aver
ag' annual value of the pr ,duct of
Ohio lands today is much greater per
acre than that of similar lands under
cultivation % to 40 years ago. The
difference in income per acre nigh,
arise from various causes, as improved
cultivation. different class OF prOduc
tions aud styles of farming and differ
ences in the market prices of farm
products.
! The constant growth in population,
especially in the cities and towns,
makes large demand for choice veg
etables and fruits of all kinds, and
where these can be advantageously
marketed. IA thorough system of horti
culture will in the future bring much
larger returns than have rewarded the
husbandman in the past. Imi roved
shipping facilities and demand will
surely follow the generally concerted
efforts of the farmers. And thus
think am justified in the belief that
the time will come when the average
cash value per acre of the product ol
our farms will be very greatly increas-
ed, if not quadrupled.
The man who makes one acre pro.
duce in value what two formerly did
is public benefactor. and he more
than doubles the value of his acre.
Indeed this work is already largely
entered upon. Especially in the vicin
ity of our large towns and cities are tt
be found here and there intelligen
and skillful hOrticulturists who max,
their lands produce a cash valuation
far in excess of those of their less ell
terprising competitors. In the vicin
ity of this city there are, for instance
: market gardens which annually pho
duce thousands of dollars where othe
lands produce hundreds in value
: The vast demand in the present an
future for large aud small fruits an
vegetables opens promising field AN
there is nothing to prevent the skillfr
horticulruIists OF Portage county froI
snc' essfully competing. to some eA
q tent, in the city markets.

got on u jamboree at Welcker's hotel,
in Washington, where he and his faith.
eI board, and flred several shots at the
colored employees and Others who tried
to get him to his room One Of the
shots graZed the finger of one of the
coiored men, 1t seems that he had
been refused liquor at the hotel bar on
the ground that he had enough, which
SO enrased him that he began to shoot
promiscuously. aud there was an i'm
mediate scattering of the opposing
forces, and q general rush for earth
works. A policeman. attracted by the
noise, came upon the scene. but imme.
diately retreatedi in search Of reinforce
monts. On his return with help he
discovered that young Malone had
been spirited away by, his friends, and
no one knew where he had gone, La.
ter in the night he was found in q res.
taurant, and placed under arrest. He
deposited collateral at the police sta
ton, and was released. The next day
his case was called in the police court,
but he did not respond. Bail was fur
nished by friend In the sum of 81 600.
The young man, it is said, has been

THE Presbyterian ministers of Pitts
burgh have solemnly denounced roller
skating. They hold that the skating
rink demoralizes young people, and
that the excessive physical exercise on
the rollers works great injury to the
health of young women. 1t has been
observed ever since the formation of
society that young people give great
ofiense when they deliberately set
about enjoying themselves. They do
not appreciate the fact that this is n
Vale OF Tears and that life is very
solemn affair.

THE Amherst IN. " Cleveland aud
Hendricks Club gave a complimentary
banquet recently in homer Of the Dem

to attend. Both sent excuses, the an.
nexed extract being the material part
of Governor Cleveland's letter:
The preservation Of personal right
the equality of all citizens before the
law, the reserved rights Of the States
and the supremacy OF the Federal Gov
ernment within the limits of the Con-
stitution, will ever form ths true basis
of our liberties and never be surien
dered without destroying the balance
of rights and powers which enables q
continent " he developed In peace AND
social order to be maintained by msans
of local self government but it is in
dispe nsable for the practical operation
anu eIiforcementOf of these fundamental
principles that the Government should
not always be controlled by one pOliti-
cal power. Frequent changs of ad-
minlstI alton il as necessary as con-
stant recurring to the popular will.
Otherwise abuses grow AID the Gov
srnment, instead of being carried OH
for the general welfare, becomes ali
lnstrumentalfty for imposing heavy
burdens on the many who are govern
ed for the benefit of the few who gov
ern. Publ: servants thus become ar
bitrary rulers.
Hoping, gentlemen Of the club, that
your social will be success,

A Brighter Outlook.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 9-The labOring
men are inclined to believe that times
have commenced to get better. There
is more work to do now than two
months ago, but the wages are from 10
to Is per cent. lower. A visit to sew
eral labor headquarters Saturday af-
ternoOn ELECTED the statement that
there are ut least one. third less idle
men in the city now than Oh the lst of
January. The pipe mills have been
about the only ones that have had
anything like a boom in trade. The
nail works in the Western district all
started up, and the price of nails is
gradually on the increase. The reports
from the nsilers in various parts of the
country are very encouraging.
