Neither party has any desire TO bring
either ruin or disaster. Both know
that any such achievement would be
the signal for Immediate defeat and

possible reasons for desiring to avoid
any such result. 1t is man easily

The protective tariff has no enemy
niare to be feared than the man who
locks all attempts at its readjustmenf
aHd reduction. If this country ever
Rbandons the IDEA of protection lin its
proper sehse1 it will be because IFS fool
friends have by their unreasonable
course rendered impossible its readjust-
ment as changing conditions require.
Protection must protect; when it ceases

Tt must protect the industries that

il a war tariff 1t WIS fashioned to
protect industries as they were a gen

marvefously in every direction. To
claim now that there is need for the
same degree of protection, or still
higher degree, IS to disprove all the
claims that were advanced for the
theory then or can be advanced now.

Mrs. Garfield is rich. zen. GarfeId's
estate netted the widow about $40, 900,
and in addition she received $25, 900
insurance OF his life. Congress, it will
be remembered, voted her an annual
pension of 5, 900 and gave her besides
SAC, 900, which would have been the
balance Of the salary due the President
at the end Of the first year in office
had he lived. The amount of the pop
nlar subscription raised directly after
Garfield's death, when invested for
her in government bonds, aggregated
$3l2, COO. 1t will be observed, there
fore, that she is quite comfortable when
it comes TO hard cash, and her yearly
income must be at least 50, 900.

They already number over $500 and
are still coming.

the Republic of Ecuador, was given Q
formal reception at the White House
by the President recently.
Chaska, the Indian halfbreed, and
his wife, formerly Miss Fellows of this

THE CHIEF JUSrICEGHIr.
Indications that Minister Phelps WIN
Fall in for the position.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The Eren.
ing Star to day says: 1t seems pretty
we'll settled that the president has de-
termiued to appoint Hon. 4. j. Phelps,
OF Vermont, at present minister Of
Great Britain, to the chief justiceship Of
the United States. Such report was cir
culated on the democratic side Of the
Senate late yesterday afternoon, and
created quite furry.
A Star reporter to-day convcrsed with
a very prominent democrat, who is in
confidential relations with the president.
He said:
"Yes, it has been determined to ap-
point Minister Phelps chief justice, and
in my opinion it is the wisest selection
that could have been made.
This democrat went on to give the
presidents reasons for this selection.
He said that if it had been an associated
judgeship the president would have cheer.
fully appointed Senator Gray, that under
all the circumstances it was not deemed
wise or expedieut to appoint 20 young :
man, comparatively speaking, to preside
over veterans Of the bench.
1t is generally accorded by democratic
senators that Mr.. Phelps is the coming
chief justice, and though some Of them
feel disappointed because Senator Gray
was not selected, there will be no demo-
cratic opposition to him. It is under
stood that Senator Edmunds will favor
his confirmation.

Wheat Statistics.

The total production Of wheat in the
United States for 1887 is set down by
the tatistician OF the department of agri.
culture at Washington at 456, 800 900
bushels. Dakota leads with SO 2,4OG, ,OOC
bushels, Indiana is second with 81 ,s2S,.
600, Illinois third with 36,s6l 900, and
Minnesota fourth with 36,299,OOO
Ohio follows close upon Minnesota, and
California, at considerable interval, fol-
lows Ohio.
The statistician's estimate gives the
yield Of the Pacific states and territories
as follows: California, 30, O,429,O0O
bushels; Oregon, l6,lOO,OOO; Wash
inston, 8,345,oOO; Idaho. 1,l2o,OoO;
Nevada, lll,00O.
Every one of the states and territories
produces wheat, but the yield Of some
is very small. Massachusetts is credited
with but $4,000 bushels, Connecticut with
but $1,000, and New Hampshire with
only 10000, or just. about the same a,
Nevada. Some OF the Southern states
produce a good deal'.of wheat. Ten

The Swiss Farmers Stable.

Whether the Swiss farmer of the low.
lands lives in a village or upon his land,
his dwelling and his stable are usually
under the same roof. Great, roomy and
homcly structures they are, those houses
and barns covered by the same steep and
projecting roof Of red tiles. Under the
spreading are stored the wagons
and other farm machinery when out OF
use. The end of the building which
shelters the family may be of wood, with
picturesque balconies and exterior stair
ways. The upper part of the other half,
in which the hay is stored, is often built
of squared pine logs, or clapboardcd, with
large and frequent openings for ventila-
ton of the hay, which is cut and thrown
in fresh and fragrant, almost without any
covering, in the rainy, cloudy climate Of
Switzerland.
But the stable, the chief feature Of the
establishment, which underlies the hay
loft, is invariably built of stone. Its
solid walls of masonry are two feet in
thickness and plastered within and with
out. The heavy oaken stable door fits
into its castings like the cork Of a bottle.
The ceiling is as nearly air tight as pos
sible. One or two small openings through
the thick wall admit only a feeble glim-
mer of light. The floor is of pink or
stone, with a sunken section through the
middle TO catch the wet and waste.
Heavy managers along the sides receive
the food.-Globe- Democrat.

A Public Executlonsr Needed.


As long as our statute books declare
that death by hanging is the punishment
for murder, it behooyes us as a sober
minded, not to say a civilized com
munity, TO sec to it that this, like all
things, be done decently and in order, A
trades a trade the world around, and as
with vessels, some go to honor and some
TO dishonor. so with men; all sorts and
conditions are needed to make a SYM
metric whole. Inexplicable as it may be,
the fact remains that certain men in all
times have been found TO whom it was a
pleasure TO WELD the headsman's ak, to
apply the torch to the martyrs faggots,
TO draw the bow string, to turn the but
ton, to adjust the moose, to cut the rope,
TO draw the bolt; yet in this great
country, 60, coo, 900 of people, with three
score Of independent s~OvereigntieS. with
hundreds Of cities where criminals
abound, where murders are Of daily DC
currence and hangings are common. there
is absolutely no regulated custom, still
less any law, making it the duty Of any
specified individual TO personally conduct
the awful ceremonies Of judicial killing.

Physical Training at Cornell.

''Wha is done in the way of physical
training
''Every freshman is examined when he
enters, by the doctor, and careful meas
urements taken Of him, his lungs tested,
his heart examined, his muscular power
tried. During the first two wears Of the
course all the young men are required TO
take physical training under the direc.
ton of the professor Of physical culture.
During two terms Of the year this con-
sists in military drill. Inthe winter term
they take gymnastic exercise. Certain
ones, who are found TO he unequal 10 this
i'm their entrance examination. are
treated by themselves, and perform exer-
cises prescribed by the professor for the
purpose Of strengthening their weak
points. There are perhaps thir1yof these
in each class. They are called, in col
lege slang. the p. VS. - physical
wrecks. This compulsory physical
training under the personal direction Of
the professor isof the greatest importance
and value. and the results Of il are adj
mirable.
''The young ladies have gymnastic ex-
ercise also, except those who are over 81
and these may take il if they choose,
and as a matter Of fact most Of them do.
OF course there are some who are unable
TO take the same exercise as the others,
and they are specially prescribed for.
''The importance Of this compulsory
training is easily seen. When the phys
ical culture is elective, asi is at Harvard.
Just those students who need it most do
not get il; that is to say. as a general
rule, only those students willof their own
choice take up gymnastic exercise and
pursue it regularly who are already in
pretty good physical condition. while the
awkward and the weak will be apt to
leave il alone. We have elective studies
at Cornell, but physical culture is not one
Of them.-Interview with President
Adams.

Who Mnkn the Rest sailors.

The American able seaman il a thing
OF the past. Indeed. he isn't wanted.
His very Americanism places him at a
disadvantage N seeking a berth. He is
not a good subordinate. And he knows
too much for his own good. The best
sailors, from the masters standpoint, are
scandinayians, Norwegians, Swedes and
Dutchmen. Italians and Frcnchmen are
in more demand in the winter for southern
voyages, as being better acclimated, but
at other times are not preferred.
Negroes do not make the best sailors,
but are useful in the cabin, and there are
usually two or three aboard every ship.
But the best seamen are rarely anything
more. The mon who rise 10 be officers
are almost always Americans, English
men or Germans. Edwin Atwell.
