The settlement of this issue is one OF the

New York editorial correspondence ST.
Paul Pioneer Press: After all New
York is the battle-ground. 1t is absolute
~ vital to the democrats, in spite Of their
pretended hopes in the west and their
daah at New Hampshire. The republic
cans dare not hope for SUCCESS without
it; with New Jersey apparently joined to
her idols and Indiana and Connecticut
only hopeful. There is a certain
traditional interdependebce between
New York and Connecticut fortified by
similarity OF conditions now preYsilinR z
IN the two states which forbids the re-
publicans to rely upon victory by the
electoral Votes on Connections with
out New York. The three 5eiogeine
elements of the tariff issue, an enor-
mously increased registration and con
siderable prohibition vote are common
to New York and Connections. The
party that carries one will be likely te
get the other. So the hope o. republi-
can success without New York has but
slight and dubious foundation. II is 6
significant fact that tbs most shrewd and
ekillful political managers OF both parties

Election predictions in the doubtful
states are the center OF national interest.
aud they are coming along regularly
every day. 1t is encouraging to read
this paragraph from New York City:
Fifteen thousand is the lowest es-
plurality in New York by any republi.
can at all acquainted with the situation.
Close observers who have watched
political battles in New York for dozen
years believe the plurality for the re-
publican ticket will be nearer &c. 900 than
| 16,0 900 and this estimate is made after
conoeding that Olevelsnd's plurality in
Nav York city will be 10000 greater
it was in 1884.
Among democratic newspaper men
there is general belief that Harrison
will carry the state. Chester Lord /.
managing editor of the Sun, says Harri-
son will get 1900 or 10 900 majority. A
democratic correspondent OF the World,
who has just returned from tour OF
| the state, privately predicts $4,000 ma
liority for Harrison and correspondent
OF the Herald, who has visited nearly
every county, says that the republicans
will come to Kings bridge with over
$4,000 majority.
Indiana republicans nov claim that
state by 10000 majority, baslng their
claim upon an accurate canvass of the
state. 1t is said by Mr.. Sheerin, secre-
tary of the democratic national commit
tee, that there will probably be between
$4,000 and $4,000 votes cast at th,
election, and that the democratic vot,
would be about 275,OOO. Chairman
Huston, of the Indiana republican cen
tial committee, has this to say:
Gen. Harrison's plurality will not fal
below 10 600. I expect it to be nearer
: $4,000, il the election is fair. The dem
ocrats will doubtless use money very
freely. Allowing them all the votes they
can possibly purchase, do NOT believe
, it is possible for them to carry the state
II At q recent meeting OF the Indisna re-
/ publican committee reports from every
county in the state were thorough,
, sifted, and the opinion OF the committee
| was that the total vote OF the state would
, be 554. 900. OF this number the republi-
cans will poll 278,0O0. the democrats
, 26S,0 900 and the pronibitionists 5000.
II Connecticut ls conceded by both sides
to be painfully close. The ohairmen o
, both state central committees continue
3 to claim the state. The vote will exceed
| 100000, and on this no margin exceeding
1900 or 5000 is claimed by either side

How to Raise Healthy and Consequently
Profitable Porkers.
The best possible floor for piggery
is one of earth, provided this is of
kind that will not become too dusty
Hogs seem TO be peculiarly sensitive to
dust, or, rather. since they have their
nostrils oftener and closer to the ground
than any other domestic animal, they
inhale more dust than any other. 1t is
very injurious to them, causing snuffles,
cough, influenza, thumps, etc. The
occupation OF one bed for long time
unchanged is a fruitful cause of disease;
even the earth, which purifies allthings.
will itself become foul at last from the
cxhalations of the skin. Hogs seem
to be peculiarly sensitive in their skins
and the mucous membrane lining all
the internal cavities. They suffer from
a lack of cleanliness, and no animal
will show it sooner in the toused and
dead look of the hair; whereas hog
that is in good thrift will very soon
give unmistakable evidence of it in the
clean, soft, bright appearance of his
hair and bristles.
AS above stated, an earth floor is the
best every way, but this should not be
allowed to become so dry as to yield
excessive dust, nor so damp as to pro-
duce steamy, reeking condition in the
nest, which also is very productive of
colds and cough. A floor of clay is
good as against the first objection; it
does not tend excessively to dust. /
have bedded hogs on layer of earth
thrown on IL tight bo ard floor Il foot or
so above the ground, and this will pre-
vent dampness, but is Objectionable on
account of the propensity of rats to har.
Dor in it. Rats and unringed hogs are
exceedingly destructive to q board floor.
Every precaution should be adopted to
exclude these Odious vernin. Their
constant running and squealing disturb
hogs not little, to say nothing of the
thieveries they perpetrate. have even
suspected them of fdevouring very young
pigs. II were about to build hog
pen now, after years of experience. l
should try at least one compartment of
it with brick or stone floor laid tight
in cement, as a foundation for the layer
Of earth for them to rest in. This would
prevent the foul and pernicious damp
ness that would arise by capillary
attraction from the ground beneath,
and it would exclude rats
Let me repeat; If the farmer will
carefully watch his pigs and completely
renovate their straw, once u week ut
the outside, he may with safety give it
to them for nesting; otherwise not.
With the best of intentions toward my
swine, never could bear 1t in mind to
change their bedding often enoughi and

cious to them than pile Of svil.smell-

without pity, but the lawyer pleaded
that the child's act was merely one OF
gluttony and that he ought to be in
diligently treated. This was the view
of the matter taken by the justice and
he spoke to tho accused in fatherly
way.
"You hear" he said, "what has been
said about you, that you are no thief;
now am going to acquit you, but you
must first promise that in future you
will behave in way to redeem this
fault you have committed.
"The boy, who had been crying Bit
terly, looked up, wiped away his tears,
and gave the required answer in a firm
voice. Years passed away. One day
as the lawyer stepped off the train at
Detroit he was accosted by gentle
man who asked If he remembered him.

A Shetland lad can hardly enter any
large vessel where he will not find some
OF his countrymen. These are always
willing in time Of leisure to give him
help with his lessons, so that instead of
forgetting what he has learned he inn
proves, and gets some idea even Of the
principles Of navigation. Then when
he has been to sea few years he takes
u winter to himself and spends, it in
some port where there is a school for
navigation. He then passes his exam
inntion for mate, and finally master.
This Is very common occurrence. ]
have known cases where Shetland sail
ors, after being married, attended n
navigation school, and on passing got
command, in course of time, of large
vessels trading to China. Australia and
other distant parts of the world And
it is characteristic of them that they
rarely forget the land of their birth, or
fail to return to fulfil the marriage en-
gagcmcnt they had formed. The at
tnchmcnt which they show to their
native place is remarkable. Men who
have gone to the colonies or to places
in the south consider it their highest
ambition to return and get q footing at
l.omc. If they can they buy bit of
ground. If this is not to be had for
purchase they lease some. On this a
house is built the land drained,
trenchcd and cultivated with great
spirit, and they settle down; and in oc-
casional fishing, in the cultivation OF
their crofts, and the society of their
families and friends, seem per-
fcctly happy and comfortable. In

ampes of this kind. Two brothers

The Funeral Month of March.

An observant metropolitan barber says

the state of the hair
The Bible tells us that with his hair gone
Samson lost his strength. The Romans
considered badness serious afiliction and
Julius Cesar was never quite satisfied with
himself because his poll was bare.
The face, however, is the open book and
one can readily trace in it's various express
sions, lines, changes and complexion the
state Of the system.
The eye that is unusually bright and yet
has u palld brightness, the face upon
whose cheeks nature paints rose of sin-
gular beauty and flush, more marked in con-
trast with tho alabaster appearance OF the
forehead and nose and lower part of the
face is one of those whom the skilled ply
sician will tell you will some day dread
the funereal month of March, because it
is then that consumption reaps its richest
harvest. Consumption they tell us is caused
by this, that and the other thing, by mi

that will effectually stop the cause Of that
cough cures the disease of the lungs.

The cough is an evidence Of wasting.
To stop it effcctually, remedy must be
