The Safest Way of Restoring Fertility to
Worn-Out Soil.
There have been many ups and
downs in the business since my boy
hood; many changes from sheep to
something else, and back again, and
many thousand sheep have been
slaughtered for their pelts and tallow
alone in times Of depression, but the
men who have persistently stuck to
sheep through thick and thin, improv-
ing their fiocks while others were sell
ing out or killing theirs, have in tho
end come out ahead every time. and
have kept up the condition of their
farms better than any other class of
farmers among us. No man acquainted
with the situation will attempt to con-
trovert this assertion. II | desired to
bring back into condition a rundown
or worn-out farm I should stock it up
just as heavily as it would bear with
sheep, provided, of course, that it was
adapted to sheep.
There are places in which sheep are
pests VI AulSdHCSS. DuJ no 10Gelllg6nk
shepherd would pasture sheep in gar
den or among small fruits. Nor would
he turn them upon his newly seeded
clover-plots, any more than dairyman
would turn COWS into his cornfeld.
Historically, the sheep clearly ranks
first among useful animals, and al
though they sometimes fall into disre-
pute and carping charges are made
against them. they are bound to go up
higher in popular estimation with every
advance in human development. HAIL

toward keeping few sheep on every
farm, whatever the predominant speci-

in too warm quarters. Remember that
nature has given the sheep a good
overcoat and that the animal can stand
very low temperature. Keep them
dry, and sheep need no other provision

weather as we have been having this
winter. But as some of our stables.
are built to insure warmth, when the.
sheep are in them see that there is a.
good circulation of air all the time, al

out of draft. We have had some
weather in which sheep would nearly
roast in some sheep barns.

duty we're tn only thing that stood
in the way, might be restored to

lie remarks that if the Republicans
desire TO reduce the revenue "they
can make n sufficient reduction by
taking off the. internal revenue tax
on tobacco and whisky" There
speaks the Republican of the ortho-
dox modern school. 1t makes us
proud to think that our State fur
nishes the only Senator who can re-
member the principles of his party
six months after their enunciation.
The Senate tariff bill has struck
just the snag that might have been
expected. When the tariff is to be
"revised by its friends" every
friend has his pet exaction that
must not be touched by reform. No
genuine revision can come from such
sources. As sugar is produced
principally in the South it seemed as
if the subsidy party might be united
in favor of withdrawing its protec-
ton, but Senator Stanford has
shown that the sacred system of mu-
tual grab cannot be touched, even
in that quarter.
1t is better so. Let the two hos
tile policies become clearly defined.
Let the Republican party plant itself
upon extravagant appropriations,
with free whisky and tobacco as a
further resource, and let tariff re-
form be left entirely to the party
that believes in it.

SUGAR MATTERS.
SENATOR STANFORD OPPOSED TO RE
DUCTION OF DUTY-PRESS
COMMENTS.

"A Washington despatch of Dec.
II, Representative FELTON,
to-day secured promise from the
Senate Finance Committee to give
the California delegation hearing
on the reduction of the sugar tariff
in the Senate bill. Mr.. FELTON, pro-
poses to present to the committee a
statement of the condition of the
beet sugar industry in California.
He will endeavor to show that the
development of that industry thus
far proves conclusively that the
making of sugar from beets will be
great success in California, and
will be one of the great industries of
that State. He will maintain that
the reduction of the tariff on sugar
as contemplated in the Senate bill,
will check and may destroy the in
FAINT industry of making sugar from
beets. 1t is probable that the en-
tire California delegation will APP
pear before the committee and urge
the same arguments and protest
against reduction of the duty on
sugar.
A despatch from Washington in
the S. +. Chronicle of Dec. 10, says,
Senator Stanford created good
deal of surprise in the Republican
Senate caucus this morning. The
caucus had assembled to consider
the resolution to take Il recess dur

California Senator took occasion to
notify the caucus that he could not

condition. The meager Republican
majority in the Senate makes it inn

A RUMPUS AT HONOLULU.

The following is q sample of how
Honolulu occurrences are sometimes
misrepresented or exaggerated by
the foreign press, from the San
Francisco POST of Dec. 81, 1888:
A row has broken out in Homo
lulu between British Commissioners
Wodehouse and Harry Hebbard,
the Road Supervisor, which has cul-
minated in Hebbard's commenting
Wodehouse and the British Govern
ment to the internal regions. Wode-
house has reported the whole mat
ter to the Imperial Government at
London, and the end is not yet.
The trouble originated in dis
pute over a street railroad franchise
from Honolulu to Waikiki, which
was granted to the British house of
Skinner & Co. and to George w.
Macfarlane, though it was origin
ally promised to B. F, Dillingham;.
SINNERS crowd employed a man
named Gribble, facetiously known
as Graball, to supervise the work.
The track was put down with L
rails, though the franchise called
for fiat rails, and rapid progress
was made until narrow and poorly
constructed bridge near Waikiki
was reached. Gribble wanted to
build on this bridge, but Thurston,
Minister of the Interior, told him
the bridge would have TO be
strengthened. Gribble objected,
and one Saturday, in Thurston's
absence, he put on large force of
men and rushed the track across
the bridge, making it impossible to
teams. Chief Clerk Hassinger, of
the public works department, had
the backbone to order Hebbard to
pull up the tracks. Hebbard got
fifty prisoners from the reef and
went to work.
Gribble at once demurred, and
armed with an order from British
Commissioner Wodehouse, com.
manded Hebbard to desist. Heb
bard jeered at him and pulled up ;
track that he was standing on.
Gin the name of the British Gov
ernment," shouted Gribble, 81
command you to desist.''
"To - with the British Gov
eminent, and Wodehouse, too" re
torted Hebbard. The prisoners
soon had the rails eff the bridge
and threw them over the side
Gribble has been enjoined from
building over the bridge, but h

vengeance on the realm.
