oENeRAL-PuRPosE COWS.

R0lnt0 That do Not Often Receive the Con-
alteration They Demand.
The essentials in the general-pur-
pose COW are good beef and good dairy
qualities The desirable traits, If they
can be added or combined with these.
are hardness. docility, good looks and
as a personal preference the absence of
horns.
No man, it seems to me, can take
much pleasure in breeding an animal
which does not satisfy the taste, or ap-
peal to our pride. An animal must be
attractive-must be beautiful. or must
do something wonderful-to excite en-
thusiasm; and without enthusiasm.
there is no pleasure in breeding. OF
course. profit is the chief attraction in
COW; but if we can get the profit, and
at the same time please the eye and
satisfy the taste. so much the better.
and so much the more pleasure will
our business afford. Other things
being equal. therefore, the hand
soonest COW is the most desirable one
to breed.
The Importance of hardness in our
domestic animals-ability to resist dis
ease, and thrive with ordinary care and
feed-can scarcely be over-estmated
Our losses are great enough under the
most favorable conditions. 1t is fool
ish. if it can be avoided, to add to these
by breeding animals which are predis-
posed to disease, or which. from con-
stitutional weakness, are easily thrown
off their balance. and are sensitive to
the slightest neglect and every change
in the weather.
Docility in our domestic animals is
not so often considered in our breed
ing operations. or in selecting breed.
as think its importance demands. Yet
docility, if we consider the extra labor
and annoyance its absence imposes, is
a very important quality; and it is ono
which may become as thoroughly in-
bred as form or color. A vicious tenn
per. or wild. untrusting spirit, is a
serious objection to acow, orto breed
in which it is prevalent; and if We can
Just as well avoid it, the pleasure and
the profit will be greater.
The absence of horns on our cows
will scarcely be appreciated by those
who have never handled the polled
breeds. These appendages are. of
course, in the domestic state, utterly
useless. A COW has no more need OF
horns, even for aesthetic purposes than
horse. 1t is only that we are ac-
customed to them that we think them
pretty. As matter of fact they are .
nuisance; and they add considerably to
the cost of handling herd OF cows
and to the losses which are necessarily
incident to it. would not accept a.

The Duty on Tin Plate.

A persistent ctloIt was made in the House
Of Representatives, last week, by Mr.. Ran
dali and other protection extremists, TO re-
store the duty on tin plate, which the Mills
tariff bill repealed.
Hon. Frank r. Shaw, our representative
from this district, In an able speech showed
that there is not an ounce of tin plate
made in this country, and We collect SGO0O,-
900 year Of tariff taxes on this article
There are, therefore, no manufacturers to be
protected by the duty and this tax is levied
upon every packer and every household in
which tin pan or a tin cup is used. This
SC,000000 is not needed for revenue and is
therefore simply robbery of the people. Dr.
Shaw said
"The proposition TO double the duty upon
tinplate cannot be for revenue, because the
government does not need the money, but,
on the contrary, has largely more than suf.
ficcs for its necessities. Neither is it for
protection, because there is no tin plate
manufactured in this country to be protected.
The manufacture Of tin plate in the United
States is not even an Infant industry 1t is
not even an embryo. 1t strikes me that it is
somewhat like Footballs geneaogy, it is a
'primordial protoplasmic gl0bulc' 1t has no
existence here except in the minds of the
American manufacturers ofsheet-iron. There
is no metallic tin yet discovered in this coun-
try in such quantities as to pay for the min
ing, and until it is found in such quantity the
manufacture of tnplate cannot be success
fully conducted in the United States, and
gentlemen cannot consistently ask that n
high duty be levied upon its Importation
The agricuIturst of the East is specially in
terested in free tinplatc, for the reason that
he cannot compete with the tiller of the viz
gin soil of the great Northwest in the pro-
duction OF staple farm products, and is com.
PEELED 10 turn his attention to the cultivation
of fruits and vegetables for canning purposes,
an industry in which tinplatc is an item OF
large expense, the chcapening of which to
the packer will enable him to pay better
prices to the farmer, furnish cheaper goods
to the consumer, and without curtailing
his profits. Let us say TO the weary plow-
man, as he casts his seed in hope and fear,
that what the blight and the mdew and the
canker-worm has spared the government will
spare also"

The Republican National Convention met
in Chicago, on Tuesday, and after etfccting
temporary organization adjourned until
Wednesday. Chairman Jones, of the nation
al committee made al address, aud when he
stated that Mr.. Blnine's declinaton must be
regarded as final, cries of dissent were heard
1t was evident that the idea of nominating
Blaine, whether or not, had strong hold
upon many of the delegates. Every mention
Of Blane's name was checrcd, but tho cnthu-
snsm, it is stated, fell far short of that which
greeted Cleveland's name in the St. Louis
convention. Everything, however, was
utter chaos and confusion, 50 far as settling
upon candidate was concerned
NJ. M. Estee of California, was selected as
permanent chairman.
There was abitter fight in the committee on
credentials over the delegates from Virginia.
John 5, Wise md Malone, each appeared in
the convention with delegates, each of which
claimed TO lie the lawful representation of
the Republican party in Virginia. The COM
mittee sat nearly all Tuesday night hearing
evidence in the case and finally reported in
favor of the Wise faction, seating fourteen
Wise men and eight Malone delegates, and
the report was substantially adopted by the
convention on Wednesday. Thus Malone
appears before the country beaten by his own
party. VIM. w. johnson and ex-Sheriff
Airey were admitted in the contested case
from the third Maryland district. On We'd
nesday there was reported alliance between
the friends of Senator Allison, of Iowa and

Death OF Emperor Frederick

The German empire has again been called
upon TO mourn the death of her ruler. En-
peror Frederick III died on the 10Th instant,
at PotsdlnI, after a reign of only three
months, having succeeded his father the En-
peror William. Emperor Frederick was
born in 1881 and married Victoria, the eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria of England, who
survives him with three sons and four daugh-
tiers. He was a soldier ofmcrit and distinction
and was lovingly termed by German peo-
pie "Unser Fritz" Following the custom
of his country in boyhood he learned the
trade of cabinet-making.
Since the Emperor was crowned the peO-
pie learned to love and trust him, and even
the recent differences with Bismarck did not
ALLEVIATE their affections, AS they laid the
whole blame where it belonged, at Empress
Victoria's door.
The new Emperor, William H., is in his
Both year, and is the father ofanolher Prince
William, boy of seven years. The young
king is a soldier by education and is said to
be man of great mental ability and strong
ly marked individuality. He speaks English
well, one of his tutors having been an Ameri
can. He holds his life it is said, by I'M.
certain tenure, being afflicted with a never
ending succession of assesses in the ear,
which medical skill has been unable to check
Emperor Frcdcrck's malady was cancer of
the lnrynx, which began TO trouble him in
January, 1887. The physicians all along dis
puled as to the actual nature of the disease,
DIR. Morcll Mackenzie, of London, maintain
ing that it was not cancer The Emperor bore
his terrible trials with noble resignation.-
The disease took many phases in the last
three months At varioIs periods there was
much apparent improvement, and at times
the Emperor was able to ride, and even walk,
in public, but at no time has there been any
reasonable hope Of recovery
The future of Germany is looked forward
to with apprehension. The new Emperor is
said 10 be Impressed with war-like ideas, and
to be entirely different from his father, who
if he had lived, would probably have given
to his people q greater measure of freedom
then they have yet enjoyed.
