Enforce the Amendments.

Boston Transcript: Hon. w. E. Chand-
Ter has prepared bill regulating the elec-
ton of members of Congress in South
Carolina, Florida, Louisiana and Missis
sippi. 1t authorizes the President and
senate to appoint four supervisors of elec-
tions IN each congressional district of the
states mentioned-two from each party
who shall divide the districts into pre-
cincts of 400 votes and act as canvass
ing board. The bill contains adequate
provisions for Furnishing fraud of all des-
criptions. 1t Congress possesses the
power here clalmed-as would appear
from recent decision: of the supreme
court-its exercise at this time might pre-
vent any intimidation, terrorism or fraud
vitiating the public voice, and bring
about fair election in states where the
colored vote has been Systematically sup
pressed, so it IS alleged.

up an opposition to the Presid ent's
program, and some who claim pow
ers akin to divination, see an enter
ing wedge that will split the "solid
south" if the issue is pressed too
closely.
Senator Blair's Educational bill
has precedence by good management
on his part, and has called forth this
week elaborately prepared speeches
from Senators Regan, Vest, Wilson
and Coke, all in opposition to his
bill. The debate undoubtedly will
consume more or less time for sever
al days. The southern men are
nearly unanimous in it's opposition,
though the chances are that it will
pass the Senate, have close rub in
the House, and in the event of it's
passage, will receive a death blow
from the Presidents veto club.
The bill to refund to the various
states and territories the amount col.
lected by direct taxation in 1861,
amountin to about $2O,OOO,OOO, gave
rise to a good deal Of discussion on
Tuesday, and was finally laid aside
without definite action. Nearly all
of this was collected from the loyal
states, and if the bill passes, will
revert to them, whicn don't exactly
suit some of our Southern brethren
who want to reduce the surplus in
another way.

1t is only few years, comparatively.
that socialism has had firm hold in the
British capital, aud for that reason in
formation in regard to it's exact condition
has been hard to get. J. H. Rosny's ar
ticle on ."Soclalism in London" in the
February number of Harper's Magazine
is therefore an important contribution to
the literature of the day. Its contents
will probably surprise the pessimistic OBJ.
server who confidently expects to see
that great city presently handed over to
the mob of the discontented and unem-
ploYed. The forces of the socialists in
London, however, are by no means con-
temptible. and are likely to occupy fully
the time of the British statesman just as
soon as the Irish question is closed. A
delightful feature of the article consists
of the sketches by Frederick Barnard.

The Fanciers Gazette contains very
good plan for making medicated nest
eggs. Here it is:,Cut hole in one end
OF an egg as big as this capital O. In the
other end put pin hole. Now blow out
the contents and you have the empty
shell. Next mix plaster of paris and wa
ter together to the consistency of cream,
add few drops of carbolic acid. Pour
this in the shell until it is filled, and in
"a hours 1t will be dry and you haye a
medicated nest egg, I have tried this,
and find 1t works admirably. Five cents
worth of plaster of paris Will make dez.
en-, and that amount of carbolic acid is
sufficient to scent a hundred. The time
spent in making these medicated eggs is
by no means lost. They are sure death
to lice, and as the hens 20 on the nest
and sit on them every day, they thus take
an involuntary dose of anti-vermin medi-
cine. There IS no danger of these eggs
being broken and eaten up, if the fowls
get any gravel. Ihave known of chick,
ems endeavoring to eat them when there
was no lime at hand.

An exchange says that if everyone
would pay up their little bills and pay
cash in the future much of the complaint
about hard times would be done away
with. The number of bills which very
small amount of money will pay, if kept
in circulation, is somewhat remarkable.
For instance, we will say that customer
owes dealer five dollars. The dealer
owes an employe the same amount. The
employe owes for pair of shoes. The
shoemaker owes for groceries. The gro
ceryman owes somebody else. and 50 on
to the end of the chapter. when it is
found that someone in the SWIM owes the
first consumer the same amount. The
thing first to do is to get the five dollars
started. and it has the capacity, if kept
moving, to perform the duties of q
medium of exchange OF fifty or q
hundred dollars in single day. The
payment of these small bills 1s what
keeps money in circulation and makes
business lively.

Hogs In Winter.

There is no domestic animal that suf-
fers so much from exposure to cold and
wet as the hog. He is native of mild
climate and should be treated US his ma
ture demands, if we would turn his pc.
culiarities to our advantage. And dur
ing winter he should be provided with
warm, clean bedding, and an abundant
supply of nutritious, fat and heat pro.
ducing food. For this purpose there is
nothing equal to corn, owing to the large
amount of carbon in its composition,
which the hog appropriates in producing
fat and heat to warm his system-the
same as our stoves consume carbon in
the form of wood and coal to warm our
rooms. The colder and more exposed
these are, the more fuel we are obliged
to consume to make them comfortable.
Just so with the hog; the less care there
is expended in making his quarters COM
Portable, the more corn he must consume
to keep up the animal heat, and if not
supplied with the necessary amount of
food, his system has to fall back on the
carbon it has stored IN the form of fat,
and he must necessarily lose in weight,
at his careless or thoughtless owners ex
pense.
Hogs should also have good supply
of water, as it is impossible for them to
digest their food without water to dis
solve it and convey It into the blood.
They should be kept constantly supplied
with salt, coal and ashes. Salt is valu.
able stimulator of the appetite and diges-
tive organs.
During warm days in the winter, the
food should be regulated according to the
demands of the weather. When the
weather suddenly becomes warm, animals
lose their appetites and are liable to be-
come stalled" Some cooling, succulent
food, as slop, or vegetables of some kind,
should be substituted for the more heat
ing food of grain.-Western Rural.

A Cheerful Feeling.

Western Rural: The many farmers and
stock breeders who call upon US show a
remarkably cheerful feeling under exist
Ing circumstances. Some owners of
large herds are little blue over the pros
pect of hard work in getting their stock
through the winter. One Illinois breeder
has sent part of his herd to Iowa and
part to Missouri. and SAYS that he cever
had to exercise 80 much ingenuity to get
cattle through the winter. When the
farmer and breeder is thus situated he
necessarily has great deal of trouble.
But the general feeling is that matters
have got down to the bottom. 50 far as
prices are concerned, and that in the
course of another yeaE prices will begin
to look up. Our own opinion Is that IN
about a year the day will begin to break
gloriously and that Wea shall have plenty
of opportunities to make up for losses.

tion, which we print:
The peculiarlty Of popcorn is that it
contains more oil than other varieties of
maize. When gradually exposed to heat
over brisk fire the oil in the grain be-
comes converted into gas which, expand
ing, tears open the starch cells Of the
corn. The heat. at the same time cooks
the starch and enlarges its particles, so
that the popped corn is snow white and
many times larger than before it was
heated.

A Little Cipher for q Cent.

Whats in name?" has been a ques-

Nothing peculiar about them as they
stand, but set them up differently, and

POSTPONED!
THE FARMERS INSTITUTE TO
BE HELD LATER IN THE
SEASON.

The blizzard of last week has left
everything in such a blockaded state
that it has been concluded by those
having the management Of the Farm
ers' Institute in hand to postpone the
meeting until the weather and roads
are in better shape for a rousing
meeting. While the people in the
immediate vicinity Of the city might
be able to attend now, it would we'll
nigh be impossible for those at any
distance to get in for the meetings. It
was felt that most stock raisers
would feel thai their attention should
be given to their stock, to put things
in shape after the blizzard, and that
few would feel like leaving home,
even to attend meeting of this
kind. Accordingly, it was deter
mined to adjourn the Institute to a
more convenient season. The date
has not been fixed upon yet, but pro-
per announcement will be made as
soon as it is known.

A decision receit1y made by Judge
Shiras of the United States district court
in Iowa is of general interest to farmers.
1t is in effect that the great barb-wlre
monopoly is bubble, and that the own
ers of lands need no longer pay tribute
to 1t. The Washburn- -Moen patents are
set aside, the court finding from the evil
dence that the important features of the
barb-wlre fence hadSbeen invented long
prior to the alleged Washburn, ,Moen in
vention by an eccentric mechanic at Del
hi, Iowa, and that such fence was made
by him and used in that locality. This
will burst the barb wire monopoly, at
least until they get together and form a
trust.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1888.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1888.
The big speech of the session thus
far was made by Senator Hale, of
Maine, on Wednesday. He took up
the history of this administrationIon
the Civil Service Reform issue.
While the Senator was dispassionate
and candid, he presented most
wonderful combination of facts, that
reflected anything but credit upon
the claims of this administration. I
will not undertake a synopsis of his
wonderful speech, but adyise the
reader to get copy Of it.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, the new chair
man of the Ways and Means COM
mittee, said today that he would
have his tariff bill perfected and
ready two report to the House with
in two weeks. Scores of members
are preparing speeches for the occa-
sion, and the country will have an
abundance of literature on the snb-
ject this session.
Very little has been done in the
House this week, although the House
committees have been very busy.
The main purpose was to get the
various committees into working or
der. Even the Presidents message,
that was sent to the House five
weeks ago, was not referred to it's
appropriate committee until yester-
day, when it went to the committee
on Ways and Means by motion of
it's own chairman. 1t is said that a
like incident never occurred before
in the history of this government.
The "urgent" deficiency bill has
been favorably reported, and of
course will be speedily passed, which
will enable the government TO pay
up a portion Of the Indebtedness
contracted beyond appropriations by
this reform and economical admin
istration. The boomerang is on the
home stretch now, and will hit Sc
verelY the the sham pretenses of
economy so prominent in the FORE
ground Of the last congress. Dem
ocratic foresight don't reach very
far into the future. The great object
of the party seems to be to serve a
temporary purpose, and patch up the
neglect or evil effects of of their leg-
islation when necessity compels
them to action. Thousands of hon
est and needy claimants, whose ac-
counts have been fully adjudicated,
have thus been kept out Of their just
dues for whole year to bolster up
the nefarious democrrtic claim of
economy.
In the Senate on Monday, Gen.
Brown, of Georgia, read a speech
two hours in length, advocating the
repeal Of all internal revenue taxa
ton. 1t took his democratic friends
rather by surprise, for his position
seriously antagonizes that taken by
the President in his message on the
tariff question, and which is general
ly sustained by his party. Senate,
Brown made strong points in his al
gument, to show that the "whisky
ring" were in league with the dem
ocratic party to keep up the interna
taxation on distillation of liquors
and that they were gathering i'm
mense wealth by this discrimination
in their favor, and characterized tn
"ring" as the most gigantic monop
DIV the country ever encountered
This brought Senator Beck, of Ken
lucky, to his feet, who said the Gov
ernor was apologizing for the moon
sinners, and stabbing the admins
? tration. All this shows that fror
