THE Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal speaking very
near ex cathedra, gets down to the point that
has been apparent to the rest of the world for
some time, that the Morrison resolution rela-
tive to the surplus in the Treasury is in the
nature of a bill of instructions to the Presi-
dent and his Secretary of the Treasury in their
duty. They have all the time had the discre-
ton in this matter, and it is in the line of in
terfering with their prerogative to step in and
command them to do what Congress wishes.
What is the Presidents policy worth. if he is
not to carry it out, whatever it may beY To
tell the truth, no one seems to know what is
the policy of this administration on any point
in the business of running the government.
1t will be interesting to see what the Presi-
dent will do with this bill after it has been
passed. If he approve it, he stultifes himself
in not doing what it commands. He has had
the power to do so, and has been urged to do
so. If he does not approve it, he slaps his po-
litical friends in the face and gives the Demo
cratic House black eye. The Courier-Jour-
nails man gives the President dig, indirectly,
in the following prize-ring Style
ssThe proposition of Mr. Morrison is so plain,
just and sensible that one cannot well see
how it should be disagreed to by political
economists and servants of the people. The
only surprise is that a man sent here to legis-
late for the best interests of the people should
have the cheek to oppose so just and honorable
business transaction. There is nothing what
ever complicated about the resolution. ten
year-old schoolboy can read and understand
it." :.
The two distinguished gentlemen from New
York are invited to learn financial wisdom at
the feet of the Gamaliel from Illinois. 1t has
been made plain enough for a school-boy to
understand, and they can plead ignorance no
longer.

THE Boston Herald excuses the presence of
Democratic State convention on the ground
that they were chosen as delegates before the
Presidents recent proclamation appeared.
This may be true; but, as they were not
chosen previous to the adoption of the civil
service rules, nor before an earlier expression
of the Presidents sentiments, the excuse
should not be allowed to stand in the way of
executive discipline. We want to see Demo
cratic ofice-hoder removed for "pernicious
activity in politics. When there is one the
fact will be noted.

THE New York Herald cannot be charged with
prejudice against the President or any of his
relatives. Touching the merits of the novel
written by Miss Cleveland, the Herald comes
very near damning it with faint praise. OF THE
Long Run" the Herald says:
''The Herald some time ago gave long sum-
mary of the plot il plot it can be called, and 1t
will not be necessary in this instance to touch
morethan lightly upon the story as Miss Cleve-
land tells it. In the first place, the book from
the high position the Presidents sister occupies
cannot fail of large number of readers, but
many will be disappointed in the meagrenes3 OF
the fare which they are called upon to discuss
A book with only two characters, unless written
by ON author of experience and great skill, rarely
maintains it interest and holds the reader en-
tranced. The heroine is of the bluest blood. with
all the pride and much of the prejudice of her
caste. The hero is scholar not blessed with
much wealth. Miss Cleveland relates how the
heroine succumbed to the intellectual superiority
of the hero, and in the end gave him her love.
Both are curious specimens of humanlty-utter-
ly impossible, as most people would think-and,
to tell the truth, are rather bores. we think,
however that though Miss Cleveands first nov
ell cannot be called complete success, she VIII
do better next time. A wrong estimate of Lord
Byron was formed from his first volume of po-
ems, Hours of Idleness,' and it would perhaps,
be wrong to say that Miss Cleveland will never
become novelist because she is the author of
The Long Run Miss Cleveland has done re-
spectacle literary work as essayist, and she
may possibly develop in time into fair writer OF
fiction"
The Herald is too polite to say that, but for
the fact that Miss Cleveland is the sister of the
President her book would never have found its
way into type, but that is what its words mean.

Natural History Reduced to an Ea silly
Comprehended Science.
Horses are found in all parts of the
globe and in livery stables They are
chiefly intended for hauling loads and
travelling. but sometimes they discover
other channels in which they may be
useful, and experiment in the kicking
line.
There is but one animal capable of
putting more electricity into kick
than horse, and that is mule. Many
young men of culture and promise have
suddenly realized the necessity of
chartering ahearse after fooling around
a horse that was loaded.
The Arabian steed is generally de-
scriEed as the fieetest, but have found
that the borrowed horse will beat it, if
your spurs are long enough.
When horses are hired at livery
stable they become quite expensive. I
have paid in a month $40 % for horse
that was afterwards sold for S27.15.
Unlike mules and tax collectors,
horses sometimes die, and are hauled
off without funeral. Their remains
are utilized by glue makers, who leave
what is unfit for that purpose for oleo-
margarine and sausage makers.

DlGESTIBLE FOOD.
A Matter of Utmost Importance to
the Thoughtful Farmer.

A Matter of Utmost Importance to
the Thoughtful Farmer.
Foods do not depend so much upon
the value of the nutritious material
contained within their composition as
upon the amount of actual available
substance required by the animal.
There are quite number of foods that
are valued according to their total COM
position of available and unavailable
ingredients, but they should really be
valued for that which may be derived
from them only. In. other words, the
gain of the farmer is from that which
is digested, although the indigestible
matter, when placed upon the farm in
the shape Of manure, will at future
time be rendered digestible in the shape
of succeeding crops. But the farmer,
when he feeds his stock, does SO for the
purpose of securing the quickest re-
turns from his investment, and prefers
not to wait for another season. Make
a comparison, for example, of cotton
seed meal and linseed meal The
former contains about Al per cent. of
digestible albumen, and SO per cent of
that which is indigestible, while the
linseed meal contains % per
cent. of digestible material and 90
per cent. of indigestible. So far as
feeding for nitrogen is concerned, the
cotton-seed meal furnishes the largest
proportion of available or digestible
material as compared with the indi-
gestlble, though the farmer may not
stop to consider it in that light. But
while the cotton-seed meal may
possess an advantage in that respect,
yet it is inferior to the linseed-meal in
fat and starch, the cotton seed contains
seventeen per cent. of digestible carbo-
hydrates and fiber out of a total of
twenty-seven per cent, while the lin
seed contains thirty-fve per cent. of
digestible material out of forty-two per
cent. of the whole. Now, here is
lesson for the farmer. The cotton-seed
viii furnish more muscle-producing
food of digestible character than the
linseed, while the latter contains
larger proportion of fat-producing di-
gestible material.
But we must not overlook the fact
that the manure from the linseed meal
will be richer than that from the cotton
seed meal, as all the indigestible ma
terial will be voided from the body, and
although for immediate use it may be
