II to 12. During the process of tn,
game AL. Drewry was hit in the rig HI

he several contests. In that case,
lecided a draw, Messrs. Toklas &
Kaufman allowed the log rollers to
dispose of the prize to suit themselves,
which they did by shaking dice, the
winner being J. M. Conway. The
iberality OF this enterprising firm is
ully appreciated by the successful
and the public generally.

10 this extent, we mean to assert,
his election is a perversion of the
constitution. The states whose
electoral votes thus declared him
president are represented in congress
by three Democrats where, in the
light of the law, there should not be
one. Deny, if you please, the over
whelming Republican majorities
which various of the southern states
contain; but you must admit then
that the small vote which sends to
congress the average Democrat from
that region is so small as to argue
rottenness in their election system!
No, sir! As long as bloody shirt

ment Of constitutional guarantees, it
will require a greater than ingalls, to
put an end to it in politics. And,
Mr.. Gazette, the status Of this great
case is not changed because you and
your political kind either can not or
will not recognize its validity.

Why Salt Stock.
Southwestern Stockman.


Every farmer is accustomed to salt his
cattle, but not everyone knows why he
does it, unless it is because the stock like
it. But moments thought will show
where the advantages lie. As soon as
food enters the stomach, says the Rural
Canadian, the natural tendency is for fer
mentation to begin, and there arises a
contest between these tendencies and the
digestive powers. And if these powers
are vigorous and the processes of fermen.
tation are checked or intercepted, then no
bad results will follow, the food will be
digested and the salt will not be needed.
though at any time this will assist in the
process of digestion. Salt keeps fruit
from decaying until it can be digested and
assimilated, and prolongs the time to al
low the digestive organs to complete their
work, and If food is taken in excess, as
often happens when stock is in pasture,
salt given frequently will be of much adj
vantage. And further, salt is prevents
tive of worms. When fermentation sets
in, the conditions presented are favorable
to the existnce of worms in the intestinal
canals, and may possibly be engendered
by the process Consequently it should
be a,rule with stockmen to keep salt be-
fore their cattle or within reach when
they need it, and cattle will obey the de-
mands OF nature and supply the want as
needed.

ARBOR DAY.

Arbor day is to come on April 4
of this year. Children should be en-
couraged to take a leading part in
the exercises. Truth and sentiment
are handsomely blended in the fol-
lowing remarks upon this subject by
that veteran tree planter, B. G..
Northrup, of Clinton, Conn:
Economic tree-planting was the prime
object of Arbor Day when it was started
sixteen years ago. The cooperation of
youth was not then especially invited.
Arbor Day in school is comparatively a
new movement. To interest youth is now
everywhere made prominent aim of
Arbor Day. The economic and aesthetic
here 90 hand in hand. This enlisting of
schools has proved an effective way of
calling public attention to the importance
of forestry.
"Trees and tree-planting form fit sub
ject for the oral lessons now demanded in
our best schools. Pupils should thus be
led to observe trees and learn their habits,
for then they will appreciate them as the
grandest products of nature. One of the
educational forces of Arbor Day begins
when children are prompted to plant, not
only trees, but tree seeds, acorn, ash, elm,
or maple keys, nuts, drupe stones, or pits,
and then year by year to observe the
wonderful miracles which the tree-life
they have started is working out before
them. What interest and profit, what
growth of mind and heart they will gain
as they watch the mysterious forces OF
these living germs; their marvellous assim-
ilating power, carrying on such curl
GUS chemistry in their underground labor
atory conjoined with the upper story ap-
paratus of foliage, secreting acids that
dissolve sand and stones, transmitting
coarse earth, and even filth, into living
forms of beauty and fragrance. 1t is
something for child to drop such germ
in the earth and think of its possibilities.
"How lasting a contribution may thus
be made to the natural beauty around the
home. The trees which children start
may be priced with growing sentiment
of companionship, and become living me-
MORALS of happy, youthful days. Thus
the influences of Arbor Day will mani
fest themselves more and more as the
years go by, especially to those who early
follow DIR. Holiness advice, and make
trees monuments of history and charac-
ter"

RUSH COUNTY REFRESHMENTS.

Held over from Last Week.
On Saturday last Judge Osborn
issued an alternative writ Of manda-
mus that the county records Of Rush
county be moved from Walnut City
to Lacrosse.
It will be remembered that these
records were moved a few day be-
fore from Lacrosse to Walnut City,
on decision Of the supreme court
affirming the validity Of the county
seat election of 1878.
The Lacrosse Chiettain came out,
printed in red, last Sunday. It de-
clares the judges alternative writ of
mandamus meant that the records
be moved forthwith. If this is cor
rect, we would like to know in what
kind Of a case Judge Osborn would
issue writ ofperemptory mandamus.
The records were moved Saturday
afternoon, we will say here before
forgetting it.
Walnut City people take the view
that the judge, in issuing an alterna-
tive writ Of mandamus, meant, as he
expressed it in one place, to have
certain of the county officers appear
before him at the Rush county term
Of court, and show cause why their
records should not be moved back to
Lacrosse. The alternative writ of
mandamus mentions in favor Of La
Crosse the result Of the county seat
election in August last, but that
vote has not been canvassed.
As the case stands now, Lacrosse
has the county records, and Walnut
City is determined to have them.
We confess to some curiosity as to
what part the supreme court will
next play in this game Of progress
ing euchre.
LATER.-Since writing the above,
we have interviewed Judge Osborn.
He say she meant that the county seat
remain where the supreme court had
placed it until the officers, named in
his alternative writ of mandamus,
appeared, and showed cause why the
records should not be moved. He
expects to hold the May, 1888, term
Of court at Walnut City.

COMMITTEE CURIOSITIES.

It remained for the senatorial con-
vention which met at Millbrook on
the % Of last month to hand down
to political conventions some novel,
if not really meritorious, innova-
tions. We allude in part, Of course,
to the motion Of H. J. Fuller, max
ing the senatorial committeeman of
each county the chairman of the
county convention which is to meet
to choose delegates to the senatorial
district convention of 1888. Unfort-
unately, the report Of the senatorial
central committee meeting, while
stating that this motion was carried,
fails to state the number of votes
for or against it. We understand
that the Trego county committee
man opposed it. There is no excuse
for Fuller offering any such motion
as this. In principle, it argues as
positively his lack Of manly charac-
teristics as would his vote in legis-
lative assembly to enslave a certain
class Of men. We give Fuller the
credit for knowing this. He evil
IDENTIFY does not know, however, that
the order conveyed in, that motion is
worth less than the paper upon
which it is written. The several
county conventions will spit upon
all such committee orders as this by
attending to their own business in
the ordinary way.
The motion to have the chairman
OF the central committee sign, and
the senatorial committeeman coun-
tersign, the credentials Of delegates
to the senatorial convention departs
from all custom. The convention
