Democrats are holding small conferences
about the House to-day to fix up in way be-
forehand the course of the caucus to be held
tonight. There is some difference of opinion
as to what the party policy for the session
should be, and there is a general desire Of
members having pet measures to attempt to
obtain a caucus Endorsement Of them The
question Of admitting territories into the Union
will be the main question considered Several
propositions are advanced. What will go be-
fore the caucus in the first instance will be
MR.. sPRINGER's BILL
for the admission of Dakota as a whole with
Washington, New Mexico and Montana to ac-
company her. A proposition will be made to
amend this so as to make it a general
enabling act for all the territories except
Alaska, Utah being guarded by certain
requirements as to polygamy. There will
probably be quite q strong support for this
proposition, and it is not certain that Mr.:
Springer would antagoniZe it, as he is in favor of
as liberal policy toward the territories as pos
sible. 1t will be known, however, when they
60 into the matter that
THE REPUBLICANS WILL NOT CONSENT
to any such wholesale action, and that they
will insist upon the division Of Dakota. Mr..
Cox, and very respectable minority of tine
party are in favor of granting this division of
Dakota and admitting the southern
part. They will probably not be
strong enough to secure the
sanction of the caucus for this directly, but it
is likely that the caucus will look upon the
division Of that territory as a compromise prop
osition, and they will decide to press the
Springer bill, giving the republicans to under
stand that they will agree to admit South
Dakota If New Mexico is permitted to come in
also.
GENERAL POLICY OF THE PARTY.
This question will probably take up most of
the time of the caucus, but the question of the
general policy of the session is expected to be
considered also. There is danger at the tail
end OF Congress- with b party going out of
power and members being retired to private
life. that many members will make desperate
effort each to get his little bill' through. and
that there might be passed many measures
more than it would be to the party interest to
take responsibility for. To guard against this
it is likely that committee will be appointed
as has been done before, to decide upon the
order of business from time to time during the
session.

United States Consul Coulter, at Cape Hay
sien, in dispatch to the Secretary of State,
dated the 10th ult., says there has
been no effective blockade at that
port as no vessel has been stationed off there.
A vessel has, however, he says, been cruising
between there and Fort Liberty.
He says that six barks and eight
schooners have entered Cape Haytien
since the 18th of October, when the
alleged blockade was established, which
is ample proof that no effective blockade ever
existed. This illegal state of affairs, he says,
is becoming detrimental to American interests.
He adds that he has not heard from Port au
Prince for five weeks

A Oomparison,

comparison between a prohibition
democrat, that ignores any further
Legislation as unwise on the cher
ished principles of temperance yet
stands squarely on the democratic
platform, and democratic bolter o
his partY's convention whose rea-
SON for leaving the party is that
prohibition was not engrafted in
the party platform. 1t requires a
minimum discernment, says the
correspondent, to recognize which
OF the two is most liberal and con-
sentative, and which the most mar
row minded and bigoted.
The one is sterling democrat
that is willing to lay aside his views
on a coveted question, for the sake
OF the success of democracy, while
the other is a contingent democrat

being allowed to lead the van, and

and feelings of all opposition. The
one is liberal and the other illiberal

Horse for the Farmer to Raise.

The best horse for the common
farmer to raise is the draft horse,
because 1t requires less skill to sell
him and less expense to pus him in
condition for the market. The gen
eral farmer who owns | 400 or
LOO draft horse requires no special
experience to. sell him. 1t is very
easy to ascertain the market value
of his horse and put it on him. The
buyer is equally posted and there
is no trouble to effect sale.
The draft horse is easily broken
to harness and submits cheerfully
to labor. The farmer has no need
of a professional breaker to ed 1cate
his horse to go in harness, for long
years of patient service of ances-
tors has fixed in him the heredity
to submit willingly to the authority
of man. There is no tedious process
of breaking to undergo, and his easy
temperament responds naturally tt
good feed, and he is quickly put il
condition for the market.
A ready market is constantly
open to absorb the draft horse, 81
when the common farmer has good
individual of this breed, he has no
long to wait for buyer after be i.
in condition for the market. The
demand far exceeds the supply.
The common farmer who is stock
ed up with draft horses of suitable
weights to meet the demands of tn,
market, can turn them into cash a
their real value more quickly thai
any other class of horses.-Wal.

Model Farmers.

Nearly every section has wha'

Ell farmers. At least they are such
comparatively speaking. Theil
farms, their barns, their houses and
surroundings are far above the av-
erage in every respect. These
farmers show degree of thrift and
frugality too that is above the aver

their produce, they live better and
nicer than their neighbors, anG

1t would not be hard to give. First,
they study their business. They

They systematize and economize.

cry way and by doing their duty

good judgment dictate they clearly
