to lessen the amount of fruit, thus

abling the vine to mature it's crop

bud could be left on every young

According to a circular just
issued by The Illinois State Board
of Agriculture, the corn area in
1885 of 7,212,657escra was less
than that of any year since 1873
with the exception of 1884; but the
yield of 230, 1925 bushels ex-
ceeds that of 1884 by 23,365,636

BOutelle.

The New York Times, in comment
irg upon Admiral TRUXTUN's report,
says:
1t is evident that Mr.. Boutelle has
taken nothing by his resolution, and
that the Norfolk navy-yard incident
contains nothing that will commend
him to his constituents in Maine. In
fact, he must be inclined to invoke for
it charitable silence"
Again;
L" But it seems as if common pru-
dence should dictate even to a states
man of the calibre Of Mr.. BOutelle that
upon such subjects as this he should be
sure of his facts before moving what IS
in form a resolution of inquiry and IN
fact vote of censure.'
1t appears, however, from the pro-
ceedings in Congress yesterday that
EoVTELLE is not inclined to Invoke
silence, and that he is far from being
gifted with common prudence. And il
NAV be all very well that this is the
case. Aside from the fact that such
men as BOUTELLE serve to while away
many dull congressional hour, it is
for the good Of the country that they
should make the job Of committing po-
litical hari.kari complete one.

Local-Option Election at Once

IOcdl-OpllON ElGctlON dt once
In response TO arequest from promi-
nent Good Templar for his views on the
local.option law passed at the late ses-
sion of the General Assembly, Senator
j. n. STUDIES wrote the following let
ter, which is published at the request
Of several gentlemen.
Mr.. STUBBs is and has been for sew
eral years one Of the most prominent
members of the order Of Good Tenn
plars in Virginia, and was the patron Of
the original local-optiOn bill offered in
the Senate, for which the present law is
Senator RHEA'S substitute
RICHMOND, Va, March 6. 1886.
Dear Sir,-The session OF lSSj-'S6
has terminated. The local-Option law
is now reality. IT'S something new
in Virginia. Ny conduct as a citizen
and voter will be, l hope, in keeping
with my action as a legislator. |
worked hard to keep out fsnatical ideas
and views in the law; | labored to pre-
vent extremists from seizing the sub
Jet and making it diStasteful to the
friends and opponents Of the law. My
advice 10 every community is to be
prudent, cautious, and discreet. Don't
attempt to agltate local option in any
community where it's absolutely Ger.
tain that the majority at the polls will
be against local option. 1t will have
an injurious effect on the community.
Up to this time there are no politics in
the question. No third party should
or ought to be thought of. If
Democrats differ, let it be a
friendly difference. Let the differ
ence be similar to the differ
ence in Church matters. Every minis
ter of the Gospel in your city has the
same object in view in preaching the
Holy Word, yet they differ in Church
government; they differ in the mode of
baptism; they are all aiming to do good
10 their fellow-man on earth and pray
ing that all may be better off "be-
yond." Every voter has the good Of
his community at heart. Some think,
"Stop the sale Of liquor some
think, "No, l am opposed to that

DRYING OUT TIE WOLVES.
A Kansas Cave Empsisd or the savage AMI
mas-A Grand Hunt.


maI,-A Grand Hunt.
A Lawrence Kan.) special says: A
day or two since farmer living in the
southern part OF this county came into
the city with the report that he had
discovered a cave on his farm that was
inhabited by prairie wolves, and from
what be could find out they amounted
to about 300. He had killed few, but
they would not come out, and he was
afraid to enter the cave. Prepare
tions were at once made to raid the
den. A large party arrived at the
place yesterday morning, and turning
the dogs loose, one or two OF them
rushed into the cave and were at once
torn to pieces. A force of men then
commenced operations, and in short
time had hole into the cave back Of
the wolves. Two men entered, and all
the dogs that could be found, and ad-
vanced on the rear OF the mass of ami
mails, who had by this time assembled
in the front part Of the cavern. The
dogs became frightened and beat re-
treat, aud the men, after firing few
shots. also got out. After an all-day's
skirmish, the hunters decided to make
a dash and drive out their prey and kill
as many as possible. All drew back
from the front and kept quiet, and two
men again entered in the rear. This
time they succeeded in causing a
stampede, and in short time the cave
was empty. The shooters did some
good work, and by the time they were
through about one hundred wolves had
been killed. A grand hunt is being ar
ranged.

The New Law.

1t is worthy Of mention that under
the new local.option law no election
cln be held in Loudoun county as a
whole, and in that county resides Mr..
HEAToN, the leader in the Senate OF
the opponents of that law. Several
districts in Loudoun county have already
voted in favor of local option. There
fore any elections in that county under
the new law must be elections by dis
tricts.
Ii is within the power of the voters
Of any magisterial district to "avail
itself OF the provisions " of the new
law and "by vote prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors therein" and thus
prevent any election by the county at
large.
No election by county at large can
be ordered unless one fourth Of the
duly.qualified voters Of " each magis-
terial district" of such county shall
petition for an election under the new
law. The words Of the law are as we
have Just quoted them, and are not at
all ambiguous.
We publish this morning letter of
Mr.. STUBBs's in which he takes ground
in favor of holding local-option cleo
tions in April, so as to have them be-
fore the lst of May, 1856, the day from
which licenses run year. He holds
that if a man gets out license before
the lst of May and the election is held
afterwards, the license will nevertheless
be good until the Both Of April, 1887. lie
says truly that the license is granted with
reference to the condition of the law at
the time Of its granting. This is true;
but unfortunately for his argument the
local-option act will be part of the
law TO be considered, and will have
been in force about two months before
the date Of the licenses. However,
Mr.. STUBRs proposes, as we have said,
to avoid all this difficulty by having
the elections before the LIST of May.
The law allows the judge ten days in
which to issue the writ for an election,
and requires him to give at least thirty
DAYS notice of the election. If, there
fore, petition be presented to Judge
next Monday, the 18th, he NAV not
o, der the election before the 2jth.
Then there will remain only thirty
two days before the regular cleo
ton in May. There is no time
to be lost. The business Of
the liquor-dealers, they testify, has
been and will continue to be more or
less paralyz ed by the agitation Of the
question of granting licenses, there
fore the liquor-dealers will probably
be as willing as the local-Optionists to
bring on the fight in April, and have
the question decided for two years at
any rate. Either this ought to be
done, or else the compromise suggested
by the Temperance Adrocate, the organ
Of the Good Templars, ought to be
and the elections postponed
till next fall, and held then with the
avOwed understanding that the liquor
dealers are not to be disturbed before
the 30th Of April, 1887, the day when
their licenses will expire if they obtain
licenses on the lst Of May, 1886.
