THE attention CT Governor Forsyth
and Senator Ingalls, is called to the fact
that even the portrait of Jefferson Davis
and tattered battle flags failed to develop
enough disloyalty in the Mississippi
Legislature to vote an appropriation OF
$40, 900 for monument TO Confederate
soldiers. And yet Mr.. Ingalls, says, and
Mr.. Ingalls, is q most honorable man, that
Henry Grady did not voice the southern
people, but gave "cold cream, honey and
maple syrup" to creculous New England

TRUE Democracy snd undeti!ed is this:
No Democrat should vote against candi-
date Mills for Congress because he was
opposed to prohibition last August, and
no Democrat should vote against candi-
date Culberson because he favored prohi-
bition last August. Democracy in the alb
stracs is too ethereal for daily use on
earth, and all tue Democrats should re-
duce their Democracy to q concrete form.

What Two Gallons of on viii do in a Gale.

The journal has frequently published accounts

the use of oil i'll storms at When seas are run

ed. a vessel lying to scud,ling before Il gale is
liable to have waves break over her, but when

York from Mobile Capt. Cottrell was out in the

Democratic Attacks Upon Gov. Marble.

The organ of free rum and the Belfast Per-
sona Liberty Club came out last week for
Hon. 5. S. Marble for Governor. This may be
considered a surprising performance on the
part of professed Democratic organ. but it
is really in accord with the usual Democratic
tactics. The object. of course, is to discredit
Gov. Marble with Republicans and to convey
The idea that he is a Age-kind-of-a-m
There are very few, however, who can be thus
been too long in public life and has a record
too firmly established, for any one to believe
that he has at this late day deliberately turned
his back upon all he has before held dear to
consort with the free rum Democracy. Since
he succeeded to the Gubernatorial chair by the
death of Governor Bodwell, Mr.. Marble has
thus >quarey placed himself OH record:
"Durn@ my present administration, and if
elected to serve Il full term, propose to do
my full duty 50 far as | am capable, in eXecu-
ting the laws for the State; and l do not pro-
pose to give the temperance people a preteXt
even to complain of my administration. l
have always supported temperance legislatiOn
believe i'll it. and regard il as the settled policy
of the State"
This ought to be sufficient not only to show
the in>nccrity of the Prog. Age in laudng
Gov. Marble, but also the motive which
prompted its uttcrances. 1t ought also to set
ut rest the statements so industriously circu-
lated here that Governor Marble is not in fav-
OF Of the prohibitory laws and has given en-
enlargement TO the personal liberty" move
ment. Fortunately the author of these re-
ports is not considered reliable authority oil
any subject, and the harm done by his ISLANDERS
must be intinitesmal

The Railroad Tax Matter.

Alta meeting of the municipal officers Of the city
OF Belfast held Feb II, 1855, II resolved that
the sum apportioned to the city OF Belfast as its
proportion of the State Railroad and Telegraph
tax for the year 1887 did not appear he what in
equity and justice it should have been. Also that
the City Treasurer, Mr. n. +. Houston be directed
to ascertain the facts and particulars in reference
to the valuation placed upon the capital stock Of
the Belfast and Moosehead Lake railroad, and to
present petition and statement to the Governor
and Council that an investigation be had and such
further sum be apportioned for the tax of 1887 as
should be found to he just and equitable.
In accordance with these instructions Mr. Hous.
ton appeared before the Governor and Council In
Augusta on Friday last and in his statement Of
facts relative to the good financial standing Of the
company submitted the written opinions Of Hon.
John G. Brooks, Prest. of the National Bank in
Belfast, and John II. Quimby Esq On the same
basis Of valuation as that Of the other roads, he
said, the Belfast and MOOsehead Lake X. X. stock
would be much greater in valuation than at present.
and that the prices at which the stock had been
sold since 1885 would show between 3Sk and 66s,
per cent. above even those prices. The matter was
referred to the committee ON taxation and cXpend-
lures Of which Councillor Wood is chairman.

Economical Dairy Cows.

High grades are as good full bloois. The
cheapest and safest way to get them is to raise
them by using pure bred bulls of the breed prefer
red, (by all means use a recorded animal, then
you know you are safe) upon well selected cows
of known merit. These should be natives or
grades. The purchase and use of grade bull is
decided mistake. Although the animal himself
may be fine there is telling what his offspring
may be, and for every good calf there are likely
to be several poor ones. On the contrary, a strong
bred bull of any one of the dairy breeds is reason
ably sure Of transmitting his good qualities to all
his calves and of making most of them better than
their dams, if the latter are natives grades The
Hosteins seem to be the leading breed at present,
the records will show. nm
