Ii is not long since that the remark
TO the effect that cotton is king" was
in common use. But this valuable
crop has lost its position, and has
fallen far behind in the az The
dairy has shot ahead Of il considera-
bly,, and has a present value of az
least donble that of the cotton crop.
The marketable proceeds OF the dairy
in 1880 amounted to more than
$500, 900 900, while the cotton crop
was valued at $3.50, 600, 900. But in
the estimate of the dairy products no
account is taken OF the domestic sup
ply consumed by the 80, O0O, 900 per.
sons engaged directly or indirectly in
agriculture, OF by three-ffths of the
population. If this we're Included the
total value OF the dairy would amount
to fully $1,000, 600. 600 yearly, and
would then stand easily ahead of any
other special interest,

The grain producers of Russia, as a
rule, have no knowledge whatever o:
prices at foreign markets, or even OF
those at Russian exporting ports.
There ARE no grain elevators in Russia,
and no grain stores in the interior OF
the couifry. At the railway stations
and at the river wharves often there
are not even rough sheds to protect
grain from rain. Wheat in Russia is
not thoroughly cleaned or properly
sorted, and for all these s it
never commands a priceequal to that
of English or American wheat. At
London, for instance, Russian wheat
usually sells 12c. below the English
and The Australian, and about 1Oc.
below the American wheat per bushel.
As there are no grain elevators in
Russia, SO the loading and the unload,
ing of wheat, costing from Sc. to Zoe.
per bushel, aside from retardingtrans
%portation considerably, consumes a
large share of the profit of produ9-
ton.

General W. T. Sherman, in reply to
g request for a contribution for the
support of an aged and destitute fe-

pleaded heavy demands on his purse,
and peisned the sentiment that his

no sooner consent to have her chill

No Chance for the Presidency.

you, mother, I'm handicapped on
this Presidential business
From the stress laid on the hard
ships endured by some of the Presi-

the Juvenile mind should draw such
a deduction.

continues as follows:

oaused by an invitation ON the part OF the
government to settle upon lands apparent
~ public, but to which no right Or lawful

proper parties through an appropriation
Tor that purpose. Notwithstanding
the iact that there may be parties
IN the occupancy Of these lands
who suffer hardships by the appliea.

A telegram Of the Sth from Usage Mission,
Kansas, say Mr. Mendel, living thirteen
miles northwest OF town. was awakened
about 3 O'Clock this morning by a scream.
He vent to the doorzDd was met by Willie
Sells. the SON 81 a neighbor, j. w. Sells.
The boy cried out "Mr. Mendel. q maj Is
at our house and has hurt iather and
mother, | don't know how badly. Mr.
Mcndel went with the boy, %arousing j.
J.. Rice, another neighbor, on the way.
In the bed in the north room oil
Sells house lay Walter, Wilie's eldest
brother and bedielloW, aged nineteen, ms
throat cut and the entire top OF his head
chopped of, exposing the brain, and his
lett eve hanging upon his cheek. Passing
into the south and main room where a
light was burning, they stumbled over the
form of Mr.. Sells, his head crushed and al
most severed from his body. Near by lay
Mrs. Sells, a lady OF forty-three years, her
head mashed and a fearful cash IN
her throat. On the bed in the east
corner OF the room lay Ida. Willie's
sister, aged fourteen, killed in the
same manner as the other three.
Lying near Mrs. Sells head was a
bloody butcher knife, and on a chair was a
Ratchet matted with hair and blood. Tn
boy said that he had been awakened by
something and looking upsaw low heavy
set man Win uaik udJf, cut CiOScr nhdhh
ing in the door. This man stepped in and
reached over Willie, struck Watty, who lay
on the back OF the bed. Willie jumped out
and dressed while the man was still in tue
room. The man rushed out OF n .
while Willie went out OF the
other, and started up the road
on a run, Willie after him. After care
full investigation there is hardly a doubt
that the boy committed the dreadful crime
though no motive is known. Suspicion
rested ON hin, and he wa put on the stand.
He swore that he had not washed his hands
since the murder, but inspection showed
that while his hands and wrists were clean,
there was a water mark above which his
forearms were deeply enerusted with blood,
which appeared to have spurted up his
sleeves. Around his finger nails, too, was
blood. Upon removing his pants his
we're seen to be saturated with spattered
blood and his bare feet were covered with the
SANE sa nguine fluid. His feet fitted all the
bloody loot marks to be found. The boy
stoutly denied being the murderer, and
maintained a bold front throughout.

A Gecision of the Lane Commissioner
Oyerruled.

Devils Lake, OAK, Special;-James Brit
tin received a letter from Washington say
ing that Secretary Lamar had overruled
Sparks decision OF last April in the Brit
tin ease. About two years ago Brit
tin proved up on a premption claim near
DEVILS Lake and subsequently took
a homestead in Tower county, upon
which he proved up asst year, after a
IONA fide residence OF six months, and hav-
ing valuable improvements, committing the
same by payment to the government OF
$1.25 per acre, by virtue OF the homestead
Communication law. Sparks struck a severe
blow to rapid settlement and development
upon all government lands in cancelling
Britin's homestead proof, holding that hav-
ing once used his presumption right, settler
could not commute homestead entry by a
cash payment, after six months residence,
and that no title could be acquired under
a residence Of five years. Happily, this be-
ing a test case, Brittin possessed sufficient
means and pluck to appeal the case to the
secretary. The result is hailed with great
joy. as being in conformity with the law
and every consideration OF common sense
and justice.

Los ANGELES, CAL, March 20. 1886.
EDITOR HERALD-I have just read
with great satisfaction the valuable sug-
gcstions aud criticisms upon tho "Hu-
name Society" which appears in your
issue of this morning. 1t gives proper
opportunity to explain one or two points
which were not touched upon in the
modest notice which our Secretary sent
to the press.
l. ''The Society for Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals Is. P. G. Al is an
organization several years old, which
chiefly by failure of public support has
lain comparatively dormant until now.
The present promoters wished to ex-
tend its sphere Of action to children.
Under our special statutes separate
organization for each specific purpose is
necessary in order TO enable the st.
i've sooieties to claim fines imposed by
law. The directors and officers are the
same In both societies, and we have hui
namely adopted 1.-The Los Angeles HUI
name Society" as the general name by
which we hope the societies will be long
and favorably known to the public OF
Los Angeles county.
2. The Society starts with limited
membership and an empty treasury, and
has to defer renting an Office and en-
blowing a permanent agent to receive
and investigate charges aud complaints.
In the meantime eur humane and indie
fatigable Secretary, DIR. Lummis, has
done and Is now doing the work Of an
agent, and in quiet way has righted
many wrongs to both children aud AMI
mails, II the writer Of this mornings no
tice will pardon the distinction.
3. A circular containing full state
ment of the organization, aims, officers,
&C., is now being prepared for general
circulation, preparatory to the calls
which Mr.. M. V. Wright, our CANVASS
ing agent, will make upon the people Of
Los Angeles county for membership and
special contributions.
a. The officers are: HI. T. Lee, Presi
dent; III. Sinsabaugh and G. NJ. Sever
ance, Presidents; M. ID. Lummis,
Secretary; j. v. Wachtel tLos Angeles
Savings Bankl Treasurer; Silent,
Wade and Fitzgerald, Counsel and At
torneys. Yours, respectfully,
HENRY Il. LEE,
President L. A. Humane Society.
