Grover Cleveland's Bull Dogs.

Uf0Yer cleveland Ball Dog ).
Washington Letter to the Indianapolis
| Journal.
One of Mr.. Cleveland's old Buf-
falo friends was in town this week,
and was asked by your CORES
pondent for some facts in his ear
ly career that would be interest
ing at this time. He replied:
"There were no facts in his ear
~ career. Cleveland's career was
the most uneventfal of any mans
| ever knew. He got up in the
morning from his room in Main
street and proceeded to Louis
Bopst's for his breakfast with the
utmost regularity, and was al
ways accompanied by the homeli-
est, meanest, and most uncanny
specimen of a bulldog that ever
lived IN Buffalo.
"Was he much attached 10
dogs?"
"No, 1 do not think he was; but
he had one little animal that was
his constant companion until a
homely white brute belonging to
Fayette Cook took that dog one
morning and chewed him all up.
Cleveland swore vengeance, and
sent around to Dean Wilson, the
dog-fghter, prize-6ghter, cock
tighter, aud every other kind of
tighter, and gave him orders to
purchase the wickedest bulldog
that he could come across. The
result was that Grove was soon
supplied with the meanest
criminal in Buffalo, and Fayette
Cooks dog was chewed all to
pieces that night. l suppose that
that cursed cur of Cleveland's had
more fights on his programme
during the year that Cleveland
owned him than any other canine
that ever existed"

the place of its origin, and is rapid

the exaggerated ideas with regard
to the population OF China, togeth-
or with the forgetfulness of the
millions who worship no one but
their own ancestors, account for
the idea that the Confucianists are
so numerous. His own opinion is
that in point of numbers Christiani-
ty stands at the head of all the re-
ligiOns of the world. The order
following Christianity he believes
to be Hinduism Gncluding Brah-

claim a vote of $4,000, a gain OF

THE LABOR QUESTION.

IHE LABOR QUESTION.
The labor question Is now
the prominent one before the coun
try. The most prominent organi
cation is the Knights of Labor
who, If the published accounts Of
the proceedings of the general as
sembly which lately convened al
Richmond, be true, would. had
they the power, assume ontirc con
troll of the state and federal gov.
ernments and run them solely in
the interest of laboring classes tc
the exclusion of every other inter
est In the country; they raise the
cry of monopoly and class legisla'
ton while their every movement
is in the direction of class Iegisla.
ton. Whenever men become i'm.
bued with one idea they become
fanatics. The prohibitionlsts have
demonstrated this time and again.
There is no valid objection to
labor organizations so long as they
are organized in the interest of
and for the benefit OF labor, but 1t
must not be forgotten that there
are other interests besides labor,
and further that all interests arc
mutually dependent ono upon an
other. Labor makes capital and
capital supports our labor, with
out one the other would be value
less. The knights of Labor have
undertaken too much. The Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers
recently held their annual meet
ing in New York. Chief Arthur
delivered an address in which he
said: "That good labor organi-
cation is a good thing we main
tain; but that heterogeneous mass
of mon engaged in divers occupa-
tons can combine interests salts
factorly to form an organization
which shall servo all with equal
justice we very much doubt" He
added that not until there was
nothing more to be done for the
Brotherhood could its members be-
come interested in other things
foreign to the order. The Loco
motive Engineers evidently are in
favor of q system of special organ
izatious of labor upon the lines of
particular industries, instead of a
collective system such as seems to
be aimed at by the Knights of La
Dor. That Mr.. Arthur is correct
in his views has been demonstrated
by the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, who during all the
recent great railway strikes have
the most amicable re-
Iations with the railway compan-
les; they have not struck. Their
is well managed and
It Is safe TO say that all reasonable
demands are cheertully complied
with by the railway managers. If
his be granted, it would seem but
that If other railway
pursued the same meth
IDS as the Brotherhood they could
accomplish the same results, and
70 through all the varied indus
ries of the country. The ballot
,ox is all powerful and the exist
ng political parties are fully capa-
,Ie of bringing about any desired
'eform in the government that the
of the people demand at
he ballot box. There can be no
uccessful secret political organiza-
ions in q free country.

few appropriate remarks received
it IN behalf of the people of the
United States. The height of the
statue from the base to the torch
is Isl feet. The head is II feet 8
inches high; the index figure is 8
feet long and the finger nail IOx13
inches in size. The statue weights
100000 pounds or 225 tons. 1t is

DIVERSIFIED FARMLNG.

In the south farmers have acted
on the assumption that the soil
and climate was only adapted to
raising cotton. In the northwest,
especially in Minnesota and Dako-
ia, toey have acted on the assump-
ton that those sections were only
adapted to raising grain and rail-
ways have been built there on the
belief that grain and supplies
would be the only reliance for
freight traffic. Experience has
taught the farmers that they may
calculate with safety upon other
resources which comes from d.
versifed agriculture and accord
ingly orchards are being planted,
stock imported and the carriers
will soon be handling as many and
varied products as in Illinois or
Iowa. The railway Register says
1T is mistake to suppose that the
most cattle are raised in the far
west by professional herdsmen.
Illinois probably to-day sells moee
cattle than New Mexico, Colorado
and Montana combined, though
not so many are perhaps exoorted.
The local consumption is larger in
proportion. II the great wheat
farmers of the northwest, who Gull
tIvate thousands of acres in wheat
find it profitable to diversity their
crops it would seem that the cot
ton farmers of the south who now
cultivate farms that are very small
in comparison with the wheat
fields would find it profitable to
diversity by raising moro corn and
grass and cattle, horses and hogs.
IL should DC the aim OF every far
mer to make his farm self-sustain-
ing, and to do this he must raise
his food and provender for his
stock. Cotton is and will continue
to be the leading crop, but it should
be raised as surplus. When
farmer is in a condition to count
upon his cotton crop as a profit he
is IN q fair way to make money.
Manufacturing industries IN the
south will do more to induce diver
sifed farming than all other agen-
cies combined. The operatives
employed in manufacturing are
consumers of farm products and
create home market for them.

The st. Louis Railway Register
after stating that individual rail

says awe apprehend that it will
be better for all the railways Of
Texas to concentrate at Galveston
for art can surely create a harbor
ample for all purposes. If the
harbor could be improved as it
should be the completion of the
new lines to the north would give
an impetus to the commerce of the
city which would make it the most
important coast city south of Bal
timore. There is wealth and capt.
tai enough IN Galveston to make a
harbor without outside assistance,
but the enterprise to do it seems to
be lacking"
