The Seized Sealers.

SAN Francisco, February4.-The Cap
tains OF the Pathfinder and Walter L.
Rich, the sealing schooners seized by the
revenue cutter Rush in Drake's Bay on
Sunday, appeared before Collector Hager
to-day and denied any intent to violate
the law, and asked that the matter be
taken into court at once. Collector Hager
notified District Attorney Carey to insti-

They are each liable to fine of 81 900.

The Men to Put Up.

To-day the City Council will fix the
date on which the election is to take
place under the New Charter. In the
course of the next few days the political
parties will meet and name ticket for
the various offices. 1t is all very well to
have the party conventions meet and
name their men. The existence of at
least two strong parties is essential to a
popular government like that of the
United States. The party organization
is very properly maintained in full force
even in local affairs. But let not any
party think that this election is to turn
on the hinges of party principles. The
policy to be pursued towards the South,
the tariff and all other national questions
will be ignored in the approaching cleo
ton. 1t will be a question of men en-
tirely. The average citizen will take all
the tickets in the field and vote for the
men on each whom he considers best
for the interests of the city under excit-
ing circumstances. There never has
been time when party ties held men
less firmly than right here to-day. The
city is in a very peculiar condition.
Hers is an interesting transition period,
when her future depends largely on the
policy pursued by her governors at
present. This is the great era of her
material development, and people cannot
be induced to give much attention to any
other matter but this. For two years
past these material interests of the city
have been grossly neglected. Had we
made good streets and kept them clean,
had we sidewalked the streets, SO that
people might walk abroad and not be
mired, had put in a sewer system, and
thus removed the danger of en- epidemic,
had We provided ample school rooms for
all the children, the prevailing dull
times would never have fallen upon
US. The people know this, and
they will have no more shilly-shallying,
no more senseless discussion of trivial
matters. Capable, honest, progressive,
executive men is what the city demands.
This is what the average citizen is deter
mined to have. He does not much care
for the Councilman's views on the tariff,
but he does care for his views on an out
fall sewer. The moral crank, the blue
law Puritan, the incapable, the fellow
intoxicated with a sense of his
own Importance, the inexperienced
fellow, with no fertility OF ideas,
the slow-moving fellow with no progress
in his bones, and the unconscionable
boodler and jobber will all be relegated
to back seat in municipal matters this
trip. Men of honest purpose, men of
positive ideas, men who wish to make
this a city worthy of the name and in
keeping with its opportunities, will come
to the front. This is said as a word of
warning to our own people. Let US
nominate Democrats who have proved
themselves to be such, but let us
see that they are in all respects
up to the standard of the requirements of
the hour. Every weakened fellow, let
the infirmity come from what cause it
may, will fall down by the way and never
reach the goal of office; every man who
stands firmly on his feet, and has brains
to direct the material interests of the
city, will, in the language of the poet.

We are not trying to "make a cor

that they are worth that on our farms,
and as a matter of justice to ourselves
we will keep them; unless we get
something like an equivalent for them.

on or before the first day of Novem-

established upon a sound basis; then
we will perhaps begin to realize some
financial benefit from u order.
We have made reasonable terms
with merchants for trade this season,
which has enabled us to purchase
goods at reduced prices.
Now, brother farmers, if W stand
together and be united, success is
ours, and we shall soon realize the
good results of this noble order, and
come out more than conquorers

Mr.. EDIToR:-As q subscriber to
your most valuable paper, | read a
great many good articles, but [ have
seen nothing encouraging about book
keeping by the farmer. The great
majority of our farmers have no idea
what it costs to raise a bushel of wheat,
corn, or oats, or a pound of cotton.
Ask a farmer how many bushels of
wheat or oats he has own or how
many acres he has in cotton, and the
great majority will tell you they do
not know. Now it should not be
thus, and as there is a general waking
up among the farming class, looking
after their interest from home, would
it not be we'll for them to look alter
home interests too2 or in other words
go to keeping home accounts l
would suggest that each farmer (who
has not already done SOY purchase a
blank book, which need not cost more
than 80 or 35 cents, and on the first
day of January, 1890, take an inven-
tory of all his lands, stock, grain, cot
ton, farming tools, &C., placing a
reasonable value on each and add up
the column and the sum total will be
his worth, if not in debt; and if in
debt (as | am sorry to say the great
majority of our farmers are place
the Indebtedness, including mortgages
and every little account on opposite
page; then at a glance we will see how
we stand. l fear that many OF US
would be surprised. Keep this up
every year and we car see whether
we are gaining or losing.
In the same book have q page for
wheat, one for corn and so on; when
you charge up your seed and labor
and fertilizer used on said crop, in
GLIDING the gathering of the same, let
the prices of seed and labor be gov
erned by the prices paid in the COM
munity in which you live; place the
amounts raised on opposite page and
place the market value on same, add
up the cost of raising and make your
divisions and you will at once see
what it has cost you to raise a bushel
Of wheat or a bale of cotton.
Iendeavored to ascertain the amount
of wheat and oats sown in our ALI
ance, but was unable to get it correct
enough to give a full statement, but
have the promise that they will do
better hereafter. Our Alliance, num-
bers ~ members, and we raised about
5000 bushels wheat and $500 bushels
of oats, and corr promised the largest
yield for many years.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l hope to see
more said concerning book keeping
by the farmer, and by minds that can
do justice to the case. Wishing you
and your noble paper much success, I
am, Fraternally yours,
JOHN H. MOOSE, Sec'y.
I'VE thank Bro. Moose for his valu-

Mr.. EDIToR:-We have seen but
little from our county, We are i'm
proving slowly in our work, but would
do a good deal better if we had a good
lecturer to visit US in work.
Corn is not so good as last year and
cotton is almost a failure in this Sec
ton.
Bret 1ren, cheer up, for we think it
time when the merchants of our
country forbid the merchants North
to let US have goods. When we know
of such as this it is fast coming time
for the farmers to paddle their own
canoe We have worked for the
spectators long enough, and now it
is time to work for self.
Now, brethren, we should look at
things as they are. We should make
new and stronger resolutions and stand
by them and the principles of the
Alliance. T hope you will all think
over these few remarks. Live or die,
do better or perish, let us make up
