How the Time Has Been Apportioned Out.
i WASHINGTON, D. c., February 26.-The
unfinished business for the morning hour

notice of his purpose to call up as soon as
possible the bill to perfect unearned land

q similar purpose respecting the under
valuation bill. Both measures are likely
to be brought forward before the end OF

set aside temporarily for the consideration
Of the Urgency Deficiency bill, which the
Appropriations Committee promises to re-
port within q day or two.
In the House the whole Of the coming
week been disposed of in advance by the
assignment of days 10 committees for &C
ton upon measures recommended by
them. The District Committee, which Is
entitled to the floor tomorrow after the
introduction of bills, has only two bills on
the calendar. One to relieve foreign lega-
tions in Washington from the operations Of
the alien land act, and the other for the
construction of q street railroad to the
Soldiers Home.
Tuesday the House will again consider
public building bills.
Wednesday afternoon eulogies will be
delivered on the late Representative Mof-
felt, of Michigan.
Thursday the Committee on Foreign At
fairs will call up the Paris Exposition bill
and Mr.. M~cCreary's measure to provide
for a congress of North and South Ameri-
can nations.
Friday is set apart for the consideration
of private bills, and saturday, if the House
is in session, it will resume the discussion
of the Pacific Railroad Telegraph bill.

Some valuable Data from h Agricultural
Department.

Department..
Special Telegram 10 he Register.
WASHINGTON, D. O., February %
In the Stock Notes of State Agents the Sta
tistician of the,Agricultursl Department
gives the following from the West Virginia
report:
Horses have increased in number and
value during the past year, and have been
unusually free from epidemic disease.
Feeding cattle have decreased In mum
Der, owing to the low price OF beei prevail
ing and railroad discrimination. In many
cases cows have taken their place. Inc
enforcement of the oleomargarine law, ana
the erection of o number Of cIeamerles IN
the State, have made better markets, and,
consequently, given encouragement 70 tne
farmer 10 pay more attention to the pro-
ducts of the dairy. This has prought
about the erection Of O number OF sllos,
which enable farmers TO secure proper fsed
the year round, instead OF buying eIpen-
sivs mill feed, oil meal, etc.
There has been q decrease IN the num-
Der of sheep in the western portion OF the
State, while in the eastern part there mas
been q large increase. There are more
iock-masters now than heretofore, owing
to the increased number Of small focks
Extremely large ones being an exception),
which gives the sheep better care and at
tention and increases their value.
The total number of sheep in West Viz
ginia compared with that Of January, 1887,
is so per cent. The average price paid
--l.- ano rnor ala -oo I'll IN nuar nna
year old 81. 25. The estimated number Of
sheep on farms is 474, 1888. The average
price is 81 26. The total value is Sl,073,-
s24.
During the past six months it was esti-
mated that the construction Of new mileage
of railroads during the year 1887 would
reach r. 900 miles. The first detailed
statement on this subject seen is that pub
lished by the Raiiray Age, of Chicago,
which shows that 1854 lines, representing
forty-two States and Territories, con-
structed an aggregate Of l2,724
miles. While these figures may
be changed somewhat, they are
no doubt as close approximations as a be
obtained at this date, and are sufficient to
show the immense growth of this indus
try, especially in those States whose re-
sourocs are as yet undeveloped. The num-
Der OF miles constructed and not yet re
ported will no doubt swell the aggregate to
nearly if not quite 5000 miles.
The number Of lines of track laid dur
ing the year 1887 exclusive Of sidings
and main track relaid in West Virginia
was three lines Of Rtty-three miles in
length.
1t is estimated that at present there are
in the United States 1924 TT cattle;
Is, 172, 93G horses; 2,19l,7 27 mules and
asses; 43, 544, 755 sheep and lambs and A.
349, 525 swine.

Now our Republican friends have had
very little in q political way to make them
cheerful and happy for some time to come,
and it msy look mean TO deprive them Of
the comfort which the H1teii5cRcsr has

election figures. Bet in the interest OF
truth We are obliged to mar the beauty Of
that table somewhat
TIE s:ct is that between 1876 and 1880,
as Every body knows, the Greenblek party
vas organized in this State, drawing its
membership largely from the Democratic
organization. I'D i1SSsad Of having . ma
iOnty CfIllAS; - ESQ, as the Ia~tslligeneer's
table raakeS6t appear, the Democratic
party had a clear majority over the Re
publican and Greenhack parties of only
3,ll9. In the following election, that of
loS2, it will be remembered also, the Re
publican and Greenb2ck parties united
and although Snyder, the Democratic can.
didate for Supreme Judge, was elect
ed over Guthrie, the Fusion caDdi-
date, by a majority Of about 1000.
the vote for Congressional candidates
showed no Democratic majority at all. On
toe contrary, the Democracy were left in
az @Sluai minority Of l,GS7 on the Con-
gessional vote. The vote of that wear
