When the liquor traffic defiantly
throws down the gauntlet and says:
1--WE ignore your laws and your courts,
and with our money We propose to
control your legislatures and your
congress- then is it time for every
true man and every true party to rise
up in their sovereigutys: The govern
ment shall not be corrupted, the
people shall rule, and the laws they
enact shall be enforced and obeyed
even though your business goes down
forever in the mighty struggle.-Mon-
tevideo Leader.

We have often said that there
should be a greater preservation of
heifer calves. A correspondent who
asks us If we would advise him to sell
heifer calves is advised that ordinarily
we should not. There is a reckless
sacrifice of calves. The calves from
poor cows and calves from good cows
are hurried to the slaughter as if the
dairy was matter of utter insignifi-
canoe. Sometimes men say it is more
profitable to sell the calves and buy
the cows that are needed. Suppose
that every body said that? Some
body must raise calves and the fact
that somebody does raise them raises
the presumption thatit pays them to
do it-Western Rural.

Duluth Tribune: To get an idea of
the Northwestern wheat crop the out
side stranger has but to come to
Duluth and see ten miles of freight
cars loaded with wheat to the brim,
on side track waiting their turn at the
elevators. 1t is sight to be seen
nowhere else on earth.

An estimate ofthe wheat and barley
crop in California, is given in the Rec
ord, San Francisco, as follows: With
10000, 900 bushels Of wheat California
will have an income of at least $54,-
10000, where last year it had one of
only $2S,OOO,000. Our barley crop Of
$4,000, 900 centals, will bring in $780,
900, 600, as against $9, Zoo. 900 last year.
In these two items alone we will
have $40, COG, 900 where we had in 1886

only SAT 200, 900, an increase of over
80, 900, 900, or nearly double that of
1885, while the area sown was only a
fraction larger. Despite low prices,
say even lower than 1885, the tiller of
the soil is in much better condition
than he was year ago"

A late number of Hoard's Dairy
man has the following in regard to
how cows are ruined: When man
handles cow to her best profit he
Will find out that it takes wise head
and plenty of forethought. That is
the reason why only intelligent men
can succeed with her. Talking with
q farmer the other day he informed us
that he had some very nice calves,
and that owing to the low price of
butter he had let the calves do the
milking. We asked him if he thought
the cows would be worth much for
>the dairy after this season, and he re-
piled that he could see no reason why
they should not. We then called his
attention to the regular time of milk
Ing if we keep up milk flow in COW,
and asked him if he thought the
calves observed it. Those who have
tried it have found that a good COW
can be rendered nearly worthless by
letting her calf run with her one
season.

American Cultivator remarks that
the wool markets are booming the
world over. All the Michigan woods
are up from three to five cents per
pound, and the Ohio grades from four
to six cents. These figures make such
woods laid down in Boston cost higher
than the present market values here.
Our manufacturers and wool merch-
ants at the sea board protest against
this unexpected advance, but they
should know by this time that the
domestic clip Of wool will show q
shortage of at least 1O, 100000 pounds.
The wool clip of Ohio is 100000
pounds short, and that of Texas 6, OO0,-
600. The decrease from South America
is Is, 100000 pounds or more, while
the severe drouth in Australia has
carried great shortage in quantity
and decided deterioration in quality
by reason of the emaciated and un-
healthy condition of the sheep. The
London wool auctions in their ad-
vanced prices have given the key note
to an advance all along the line OF
wool producers.

AN ECONOMICAL SPAsM

MessIs Editors Farmers, Mechan-
les, laborers, professional men and
men of the late grand jury are inter-
ested to know what caused the spas.
modic economical terror that has over
taken the economical proprietor of
the Democratic Sentinel of Blooms
burg. Were it not that the grand
jury of February term of court was
discharged prior to the late election
we. would presume it was the defeat
for school dire ctor that caused this
spasmodic attack which has afflicted
this irrepressible economizer. Or was
it for favors he asked of that body
which were not granted ? He certain.
ly exercised more economy than in
teliigence in censuring the grand jury
for recommending that the commis-
sioners furnish carpet for the Jail resi-
dence, for in the statement of 1878
when he was clerk, we find bill paid
for carpet without the recommendation
of grand jury. Thus it would seem
that when he was in command he
could pay S39,87 for carpet to furnish
the same room that now suddenly
strikes him with an economical con.
vulsion on the finance of this county.
He directs the attention of his readers
TO the sum OF SS2,92 paid to J. p.
Tustin as interest on order No 730 and
emphatically asks the tax PAYERS
whether or not this is economical
management of County finances, when
there was over twelve thousand dol.
lars uncollected prior to 1885. But
he neglects to tell his readers that
when he was clerk to the commission.
ers there was nearly nineteen thous.
and dollars outstanding in the collect
ors hands prior to 1879. He asks his
readers to pursue carefully and dill.
gently the statement of the finances ol
the county for 1885 The tax payer:
will not stop here but will look back
to the old newspaper file and peruse
the statements which he made up while
he held the political reins in his right
hand and the financial affairs in hi.
left hand. Since the voters of the
county have shown him that his ser
vices were no longer needed in OF
around the court house, he has becom,
terror stricken at the management Of
the finances and would have the tax
payers believe that his long reign wai
spotless and unimpeaohable, while il

The Administration agreed to furn-

demanded that the confidential reasons
be submitted to them also, in order
that the Senate might decide if they
were really confidential, and the direct
issue was thereby raised.
1t cannot be known what action will
be taken by tho Administration in re.
