LAST winter a law passed in Maine
applying the prohibitory enactment
to the manufacture and sale of cider.
The farmers, who have large orchards
and annually convert their apples into
cider, thought but little Of it at first,
and not long ago they gathered around
the cheerful cider mill and proceeded
to make their usual winter supply for
themselves and the market. Then
the liquor merchants spread conster-
nation by arresting the farmers, seiz-
ing their mills and cider. A letter to
the New York World says that the
giving away Of glass of cider, or the
selling of a gallon to make vinegar,
subjects the farmer to an aggregate
fine, under different counts, of 1850
and to imprisonment. The farmers
are taking steps to have the law
amended or entirely repealed this
winter.

If there is one institution that Rock
Island has reason to take pride in ore
than another, it is its high school build
ing. Yesterday Circuit Judge Howatt,
of the district across the river, who is al
so u member of the Clinton, Iowa, school
board, and who is holding court in Dav-
export, paid visit to the building and
was shown through by Principal Hatch.
The judge was greatly pleased with the
building, and afterward had long cons
ference with Mr.. Ross, the architect, with
a view of adopting similar plans for the
contemplated Clinton high school. The
past week Principals Stratton and Bow
man, of the Davenport schools. have WIS.,
tied the high school and were delighted
with it, Mr., Stratton is at the head of the
Davenport high school, and he thought the
Rock Island building was much more
convenient and advantageous in every
way than that across the river. DR..
Whitney, of Pawtucket, r. l., was also
gratifed with the plans, after making 1t
tour of the building.

Minnesota Farmers Put II Republican Nom
inee on IA Cleveland Platform.
ST PAUL, Mimi, March 30-The Farmers
Alliance created the oldest kind of a political
situation Thursday. Wednesday night a
Democratic platform was adopted and Presi
dent Cleveland emphatically Endorsed. Thurs
day Albert Scheffer, st. Paul banker and
well known Republican, was unanimously
named for governor. Mr.. Scheffer appeared
before the assemblage and accepted the
honor, and, without apparent reluctance, the
Cleveland platform previously adopted
An Intellectual attempt was made to throw
the alliances influence toward Mr.. Frank, of
Mower county. This Endorsement possesses
especial significance from the fact that it now
places Scheffer fairly in the field as the can
didate of the farmers. The curious fact is
presented of an organization indorsng
Democratic president adopting Democratic
platform, and placing on it Republican can
didate.
The alliance issued an address to the people,
in which it asserted that it had in the past
presented its grievances to state authorities
and state conventions, only to be rewarded
with fair words and broken promises To re
move this state of things it advises the sup
port of Albert Scheffer for overnor.

A ONE-SIDED SELECTION.


WASHINGTON CITY, March 30.-The Bur-
lington & Missouri River Railroad company
were deprived Thursday of 20O,364 acres of
valuable land by Il decision of the secretary
of the interior. The secretary holds that by the
grant the Burlington & Missouri Railroad
company should have selected like quantity
of land on each side of its road. When the
line of definite location was fixed the railroad
company could not, it claims, find sufficient
land within the granted limits on the south
side to satisfy the terms of the grant. The
railroad then selected in lieu of the deficiency
a like amount on the north side. This the
secretary holds is illegal, and he directs that
suit be brought to cancel the patents to the
land north Of the railroad where issued,
and where selections have been made but no
ptaents issued as yet, that the land be restored
to the public domain. The secretary takes as
a basis for computing the grant to the rail
road 1872 4j miles.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 30-Mr. A
Caubert, distinguished member of the Con-

one of the projectors of the Paris exposition
of 1889, has addressed to Belmont, chairman

pears that the house amendment to the Paris

S25, 600 for special exhibit of the products of
the American hog meets with the distinct APP
prevail of the French chamber of agriculture.
NJ. Caubert says:
"Such an exhibition, of which | have al
ready seen specimens at Vienna in 1873 and
at Philadelphia in 1876. would be, have no
doubt, deeply appreciated in Paris in 1889,
and would aid us much in obtaining from the
chambers an important modification of a pro

when our agriculture was in a really grievous
condition by reason of the oppressive charges
made necessary by our war budget We hope
