THE BEST OF THE
AGRICULTURAL WEEKLIES.

The Country Gentleman is the leading
journal of American Agriculture. In the
amount and value of contents in extent and
ability of correspondence in quality of pa
per and style of publication, il occupies the
first rank. 1t is believed to have no superi.
or in either of the three chief divisions of
Farm Crops and Processes,
Horticulture and Fruit Growing,
Live Stock and Dalrying.
while it also includes all minor departments
of rural interest, such as the Poultry Yard,
Entomonogy, Bookkeeping, Greenhouse and
Grapery, Veterinary Replies, Farm Ques-
tons and Answers, Fireside Reading, Do.
nestle Economy, and summary of the
News of the Week. Its market reports are
unusually complete, and much attention is
paid to the prospects of the crops, as throw.
ing light upon the most important of all
questions, When to buy and when to sell. 1t
is literally illustrated, and is intended to
supply, in continually increasing degree,
and in the best sense of the term, a
Live Agricultural Newspaper.
Although the Country Gentleman has
been greatly enlarged by increasing its size
from 16 to 20 pages, weekly, the terms con-

assaults that have been made on his

but Of gross invasions Of the privacy of
his domestic life. His mistake was In
supposing everybody else to know and
understand that Of which he alone
could feel the full significance, and
with regard to which he Is naturally

THE Cleveland Lcader says that
"the Democratic House in the Fiftieth
Congress means continued wrong to the
people of the great Territory of Dd-

have their say" This remark is
probably prompted by the rickety con-
dition of the Republican majority in

THERE Is nothing whatever--not
even a relieving trace Of humor--in
the absurd report that Mr.. Carlisle
contemplates leaving Kentucky for
Kansas in consequence of his political
disappointments. The Speaker is not
that kind of person. In the first place,
a man who has achieved so much dis
tinction and stands so high in the csti-
nation of his fellow. citizens, has
nothing in particular to be disappointed
about; and in the second place, even IL
Mr.. Thobe had beaten him clear out
of sight, Mr.. Carlisle has too much
pride and manliness of character to
make an unscemly display of chagrln
by going into exile.

SOMEWHAT singular, isn't 1t, that in
this Gland of the free and home of the
brave" man cannot carry on his
own business, in his own way and on
his own capital, without the assistance
of standing army? Yet, to just this
pass has it come in Illinois. In the
long struggle between labor and CAPT
tai it would seem that one is just as
likely as the other to become the ag-
gressor and oppressor. 1t is an easy
thing for organized power, by what
ever name It goes. to slip into despot-
ism; and just so long as we have no
craftsmanship competent to master the
situation, and evolve harmony out of
contention. personal rights will have
to be maintained by the supremacy Of
arms.
