WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. "a, 1888.
fFrom Our Regular Correspoudent.)


Mr. Cleveland and Private-Secre-
tary Lamont spent Sunday in Phils-
delphia with Mr.. Singcrly, proprie-
tor of that staunch tariff reform pa
per, the daily Record. 1t is said
that several New York friends join
ed them there, and it is more than
likely that politics was one Of the
subjects discussed.
The Chinese bill was placed in
Mr. Cleveland's hands Friday morn.
ing, having passed both Houses, and
Friday evening Secretary Bayard
received dispatch from the United
States Minister to China, stating that
tho treaty has been rejected by the
Emperor. To the superstitious this
will appear like another piece Of
"Clevcland luck" for there are many
people who thought that Mr.. Clevc-
land would veto the bill on the
ground that its passage before the
Chinese government had acted on
the treaty was breach Of interna-
tional courtesy-and SO twas. But
now the bill just meets the wants Of
tho country, and the treaty having
been rejected, there is no doubt
about the signing Of the bill. In
this connection 1t may be we'll
enough to state that the Congress.
ional delegation from the Pacific
slope are all glad that the treaty
has been rejected, as they regard
the bill Just passed as a much better
remedy for the evil complainedof.
The Republican Senators have
heard from home, and once more the
country is promised = substitute for
the Mills bill, in . few days. They
held q caucus on Saturday, which
they say was only called for gen.
eral interchange Of opinion, but the
general impression is that the tatid
bill was the principal subject Of dis.
cussion. They took no vote and
reached no final conclusion.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
have been invited togo to Richmond,
Virginia, October "a, to review the
parade at the opening of the expo
sition.
Representative Kilgore, by an OBJ
lection, prevented the joint resolu.
ton appropriating 100000 for the
yellow fever sufferers from passing
the House. 1t has passed the sen.
ate and is certain to pass the House,
but Mr.. Kilgore's objection compels
it to go through the regular routine.
Req rresentative Foran, one Of the
few Democrats who did not vote for
the Mills bill, says he thinks that 1t
now looks much brighter for Mr..
Cleveland than 1t has been heretofore.
His reason for thinking this, is, that
no one denies that a revision and re-
duction of the tariffs necessary, and
that thus far the Republicans have
formulated no plan for reducing the
surplus or correcting the evils of the
present tariff schedule.
John G. Parkhurst, of Michigan,
has been nominated Minister to Bel
guim.
Gen. p. A. Collins, who was chair.
man of the st. LOUIS convention,
says that making comparison with
this date four years ago, the Demo.
cratic prospects are just 20 per cent.
better now than then. In view of
the fact that it is only necessary to
hold our own to win, the outlook is
flattering.
The sugar and copper trusts are
to have hearings this week by the
Senate tariff subcommittee.

40 per cent. now paid by the farmer
on everything he buys will be reduced
to one profit or a legitimate per cent.

A SURE REMEDY FOR CHINCH
F, BUGS.

We learn that this destructive pest
is making it's appearance in several
parts of this county and in different
localities in the State. We therefore
publish the following, which we hope
will be used by our farmers, for it
was found to be a sure destroyer
when used by a number of our people
last year:
Dissolve one-half pound of common
soap in one gallon of water. Boil,
and while boiling hot, pour it into two
gallons of kerosene oil; churn it or
stir it, or beat it until thoroughly
maared. Put one part of this to nine
parts of water and sprinkle or spray
the bugs with an ordinary tin water
sprinkler, which may be bought at
any tin shop. If larger quantities are
wanted, observe the above proportions
in mixing it.
Try it and be satisfied that there is
a remedy for this terrible pest.

the expense of raising it and will in

THE ~POLAND-CHINA HOG.

This is, in my Judgment, the most
popular breed Of hogs in the United
States, as they combine mored desirable
qualities than any other. For close
feeding, size, symmetry, docility,
health, thrift and adaptableness to
fatten at any age, I think they have
no superiors; and the best evidence OF
their superiority is, that they are more
largely bred in the States where hog
raising is the most prominent and i'm
portant of farming pursuits, than any
other breed of swine. The Poland
China, as bred thirty years ago, was
a coarse, large-boned, lazy hog that
could be fattened only at from n to
two years.; but as now bred it is close,
compact, short-legged, large-hammed
and being susceptible Of fattening at
any age can easily be made to weigh
from 800 to 400 pounds by the time
it is one year old. The color of this
hog is nearly solid black, with very
small white spots, and a little white
on the feet. There we're over 10000
thoroughbred Poland-China hogs adj
mitted to record last year, more than
all other breeds combined, which is
another evidence Of their universal
popularity. The Poland China breed
originated in the Miami Valley, in
the southwestern part Of Ohio, and
has been a distinct breed for over
t~hirty-fve years. The breed was
formed by the union or crosses of sew
eral other breeds, from a union and
cross of the big-boned China, or, as
sometimes called, "spotted China"
Berkshire and the imported Irish
Grasiers. They are now SO uniformly
bred that were a number of them
bought from breeders Of as many
States, and ran together, it would
seem by their general uniform appear
ance that they were all raised on the
same farm, in the same herd. In
these times of ruling low prices it only
pays to raise good stock, which rule
applies to hogs as well as all other
stock. What farmers want is the
most money for their feed, whether
for pork, beef, mutton, etc.-D. 3.
