Inquiry at the Treasury Department in
Washington shows that as the time tor
the assembling of Congress approaches
the public interest in the national bank
question is visibly increasing. The comp
troller of the currency is now receiving
letters from all parts of the country max
ing suggestions as to more permanent
basis for the national banks. These let
tiers come not only from persons interest
ed in national banks, but from officers of
State banks, private bankers, and from
prominent manufacturers; and many
merchants seem also to have directed their
attention to the raaintena, ce of the exist
ing system. Comptroller Trenholm said
that he was very much pleased to receive
sug gestions, and hoped that everybody
having any ideas on the subject would
communicate them to him, So that ne
would be prepared to lay them before The
proper committees in case Congress should
axe up the consideration Of the subject.

The Indiana SenatOrship.

The election of United States Senator
from Indiana, to succeed Senator Harrison
which will be done by the Legislature re-
Gently elected at its first session. seems to
bestilI an interesting question. The Dem
ocrats. acco riding to the official returns
have a majority of upon join, ballot il
the Legislature, aud this would entitl.
them, of course, to elect Democratic sue
cessor to Mr.. Harrison. whom i, is gene
rally conceded would be ex-senator Nc
Donald. But the Republicans have ma
jority in the lower house of the Legisla
turc and several of the Democratic mem
bers of that body are returned by very
msagre msjorities.
As each house of the Legislature has f.
nal Jurisdiction in determining the cleo
ton of its own members, it is feared that
the Republican majority of the lower house
may unseat enough Democratic members
to give the Republicans a majority on
joint ballot. This, it is said, however
may prove to be a game at which two
parties can play. for some of the Republi.
can members OF the Senate, in which the
Democrats have the control, are also elect
ed by close calls; and if the Republicans
were to resort to the counting out game,
the Democrats might be Influenced to a.
dept the law of retaliation.
Altogether the question presents a some
what interesting aspect and, in view Of the
great importance of United States Sena-
tor at this time, no little concern is felt in
political circles regarding its ultimate set
Element. The Washington correspondence
Of the Baltimore Sun, under date of 23rd
inst. has the following in relation to the
matter:
1.-THE Indiana politicians of beth parties an.
ticipste most lively time " ben the Legislature
convenes. 1t seems to be agreed upon all a
round that the republican majority in the House
and the democratic majority in the Senat. will
vie With each other in the effort to avail Of ev-
cry possible method to elect a Senator Of their
respective proclvities. An Indians democrat,
Who has served eight years in the Legislature
Of that State, said today that he would not oe
in the least surprised to see violence and revo-
luton before the struggle 10 over. He said il
is quite impossible to predict exactly how
things will finally turn out. The Indiana re-
publicans here have stronger hopes than the
democrats 10 the matter Of the senxiorship be-
cause of the belief that in the event of two
claimants appearing the republican majority in
the Senate will stretch the point 10 favor Of
their own party"

Ex-President Chester Alan Arthur died
at five o'clock on Thursday morning Of
last week, at his residence in New York
city. lie had been ailing Tor some time
from a complication of diseases, princi-
paily kidney affection. His death was

There 3 great difficulty in filing the
treasures of q number of States, but the
federal treasury is flooded With money.
Over $1,000, 900 more has been received
thus far this month than the correspond
ing period of last year. The receipts for
the quarter ended September 80 exceeded
very largely those of the like period last
year. The surplus this year promises to
be decidedly larger than it was last year,
when it was $93, OOO,OOU The only way
of disposing of it is to pay of the three
per cent, OF which only $74.4s4, 700 remain
uncalled. Before the end of the present
fiscal year this amount will have been call
ed and paid, after which there will be no
bonds to be called till 1891. By July 1,
1887, there promises to be 500. 900, 900 in
the treasury and out of the pockets of the
people over and above every want of the
government. In the following four years
this sum will grow to more than $500, O00,-
600 unless Congress can make up its mind
either to spend it with reckless extrava-
gance, or to stop taking money it doesn't
need from the taxpayers. The sensible
way, of course, is to reduce the revenue
by cutting down the taxes levied under
our present oppressive war tariff. Another
way would be to make whisky and tobacco
free of tax, but these are not necessaries
and are about as cheap to the consumer
now as they would be without tax. What
the people want is . reduction in taxation
that will reduce the cost of living and the
cost of tho means of making living.

most remarkable explosion on record. The

owing to the delay, one of them fernented,
generating gas inside Of it which caused such
an explosion that the building was shaken.

SOLDERING .iND IT'S CrRE.-The fre>
quent slobbcring Of horses at this season is
variously accounted fan We have heard
it attributed to the second growth clover,
to the spiders web on the herbage, TO To-
bella, st. Johns. wort, and other plan is,
but never yet to pennyroyal. But having
occasion to make use Of neighbor's pas
ture for few nights, for our horses, we
found them slobbering profasely from the
effects Of the pennyroyal which grew album
dantly iu the field. The COWS which graz
en- in the field were also troubled with pro-
fuse salvation. We have had previous
knowledge that lobelia and st. johns wort
would produce the same trouble, aud now
are sure that penuyroyal may be added to
the list. But we doubt very much that
second growth clover will cause IL indeed,
we have had good reasons to know that it
does not in some cases. The slobbering of
horses and COWS is caused by the irritating
effect upon the salivary glands, of the
strong essential oil Of the plants which
produce it. If one will chow some lobelia,
st. John's wort or fcnnyroyal, he will fn9
the salivary glands to be excited in this
manner. The effect is removed by eating
any dry substance, as oatmeal, middlings
or cornmeal, and the best remedy for it is
to give any animal which is suffering from
the salvation feed Of dry meal or mid.

pound. Grant that TO be so, for the press
ent. Now, let US in turn ask, what the
cotton money that he buys the six cents
bacon with, costs him? Did you ever
think of that? ? IF one buys horse for
500 and sells him for fifty, the fifty dol.
lars last in hand costs him in reality one
hundred dollars May not this be the
c,se with his cotton money May not
every dollar of it cost him two dollars to
make or get it? Wo have no. doubt that
10 some cases it does cases Of bad manage
ment with poor crop years in other instan-
ces the cost is not SO much and it may
grade up to point where it is less than
the money received from the crop, or where
thore is an actual profit. Now if the six
cents that will buy pound of bacon was
procured really at a cost of twelve cents,
the apparently cheap bacon may have been
quite dear after all Where bacon is
bought through a merchant on time, oil
know it is very dear. The same kind of
reasoning applies to corn and other provs>
ions bought with Gotten money.
SECRET OF CHEAP FOOD AT TIE NORTH.
But cannot pork and corn and other
provisions be raised on our farms very
much cheaper than they usually are, or
than We reckon that they can be, can we
not raise them about as cheap as is done
in tho Northwest? We do not inc lude
wheat, (aud rye pcrhaps), because climate
is against us-but no good reason can bo
given why corn. oats, barley, forage, hogs,
mules, horses, sheep and goats cannot be
raised just as cheaply, on land Of same
quality and age, at the South as they arc
at the North. Northern farmers have to
contend with drought and storms, as VIC do;
their summers are shorter than ours, and
their corn is liable to be cut off by frost
which ours is not. Their land is no rich
er than ours-somc of it is poor, aud
some of it is rich /; and that is the case with
ours. No, the Northern farmer has no
natural advantages over the Southern for
raising cheap food. But from force of
climate he has been driven to raising good
crops-cotton and su ,ar c1ne and rice will
not grow there-corn, small grain and
grasseo uru cue uurur'.rprOudcts M lis cold
climate. He raises hi, provisions at home,
therefore, and rups more economic sched-
,ule. He is yprcsd to buy very little to
'carry on his ,arm. His crops arc such as
require comparatively little labor, and tho
abscnip &c slaves and scarcity of laborers
compelled him to ccoaomizc labor in every
possible way. Horses ani machines were
brought into, requisition wherever it was
practicable. The character of his crops
kept his lands filed with humus, and less
scourged with tho plow. These are the
chief reasons Of his cheap corn and bacon,
and if we will forego our extra privilege Of
raisig cotton to- some, extent, aud pursue
his methods, We can. raise cheap corn and
meat as well as he. W.
