Suggestions Concerning the Sailing and
Marketing of Butter.
It should be the rule to get the
purest and best salt to be obtained for
the purpose, as the best is mono too
good. A small amount saved on
hundred pounds of salt is of little con-
sequence if it proves in any manner to
be inferior and thus Injuries the quail
ity of the butter. Get the best kind
and then continue to use it rather than
experiment with other brands or
grades. Get the best tubs. The out
side appearance of the packages has
some influence on the sale of the con-
tents, as a dealer would not be likely
to look for fine quality of butter in
an inferior looking tub quite as soon
as in clean No. l package. Better
pay five or ten cents extra for the
right kind of package rather than
take poor one as a gift. There is q
good deal of difference in the quality
of the timber from which the tubs are
made. The frm-grained kind that will
before reaching market is what will
give the best satisfaction.
A word about marketing the pro-
duct: Of course every farmer that
makes his own butter should endeavo-
% secure as good a market for it as
possible. Whether he can do best by
selling at home, sending it to the COM
mission men in the cities or by looking
up some special customer to whom he
can send direct will be for him to de-
termine. But one course would not
seem to be best in the end, that is to
have no stated market, but selling
| first to one and then to another,
wherever for the time the best price
may be obtained. Perhaps for few
weeks or months, if there is some COM
petition. he may get little more
money, but it will be at the expense
of finding a steady market and obtain
ing reputation for his product. which
Is very desirable in the course of years.
| Usually the dairymen who succeed
best are those who have obtained a
good reputation for their butter in the
market. and which is of such a quality
as to command a satisfactory price
year after year. Some say that such
q course as this is not progress. but we
believe there may be too frequent
changes to be OF real benefit to those
making them, and it is we'll to remem.

nae washineton sensation.

a -
Corporal Tanner is making sensation in
Washington. The impression there seems
| TO be that his ambition is to make big
hole in the surplus. He has made very
considerable hole in it already, and il q
check is not put upon him it will not be
very long before there will be only hole
where the surplus now is.
The corporal pretends that the outcry
against him has been raised by the demo
cratic press for political effect. He Is mis-
taken. 4 II be were not the leading republi-
can organs would come to his defense, but
they are silent They do not dare TO say
anything in his behalf
It is alleged that the President and the
Secretary of the Interior are in constant
fear lest be will do something else that will
tend to involve the administration in other
scandals. II the President could get clear
of him without trouble it is probable that
he would do 50 at once. He is strongly
backed by the pension claim agents, how
ever, and it is believed that the President is
afraid TO ask for his resignation One OF
these claim agents has a weekly newspaper,
which circulates almost exclusively among
the members of the Grand Army of the Re
public, aud it would be used, perhaps, to
belittle the President if Corporal Tanner
were removed
1t is said that the corporal has scheme
for increasing pensions that Is far ahead Of
anything that has yet teen suggested by
republicans for taking money out of the
treasury. It is to abolish the board of re-
view connected with the pension bureau,
and to substitute for it board Of increase.
With board Of this sort, the work of in
creasing pensions would be greatly facill-
tated.
In the special dispatches several instances
are given Of re-rating of pensions, by means of
which the benefciaries received from 81 900
to IS, 600 each. Two Of them were so over
joyed at their good fortune that they gave
banquets to their friends, to which they in
vited the corporal At one of them the
corporal is reported 70 have made a speech,
in which he said that if his right arm held
out, he would make pretty big reduction in
the surplus. 1t isnot to be wondered at that
the President is getting alarmed at the
corporars proceedings.
The people outside Of the pensioners are
deeply Interested in the pension bureau.
They have TO furnish the money for PEN
sions. They have been thinking for years
that the pension burden could not possibly
be made any heavier. The burden has kept
on increasing, however, and it begins to
look as if additional revenue would be
needed in the near future to meet its de-
mands.
Those who draw the largest amounts for
pensions are not always those who are the
most deserving. Men getting good salaries
in the pension bureau are mentioned as
being among those who have had their
pensions re-rated and have received extra
ordinarily large sums. This looks like
favoritism.
If the people do not protest against these
pension abuses they will discover when it is
too late that very burdensome load has
been saddled upon them, and one they are
not likely to get rid of in half century.

They Want Free Pasture.

As general thing those who are opposed
to the mo fence" law own no land. They
own cattle, however and they want to have
them fed at the expense Of their neighbors
who do own land. They canaot say that
they want their cattle to feed in the public
roads, because there is nothing there for
them.
The question then which presents itself is
this: Why should farmer be put to a
heavy expense to fence in his crops in order
that somebody, who owns a COW or two,
may have the privilege of letting his cows
run at large, and get their means of living
from the land belonging to Others
Much has been said by the opponents of
mo fence" about the poor widow and her
cow, but surely the widow has no right to
pasture her cow on the land of her neigh
bors. That is what she does, however.
when she turns her cow into the highways.
because the COW seeks food on the unin-
closed lands. 1t is true that the owner OF
the lands may have no objection to the COW
feeding upon them, but if he should want
them for his own cattle he would have to
go to the expense of fencing them.
But the great majority of the cattle run
ming at large do not belong to widows
They belong to people who are well able to
hire pasture for them. These people will
never do that, however, as long as they
can keep their cattle at other peoples
expense.
1t is safe to say that if the "no fence"
law had been accepted in this county ten
years ago, there would be more and better
cattle in the county than at present, and
the number of farms would be three or
four times as great as it is. Vegetables in
this market would be cheaper, and the
poor of this city would be in the enjoyment
of benefits in tue way of cheaper living
many times more valuable than the priv
ilege of free pasture enjoyed by those of
| the poor who own cows

He Won't Intrude There Again.
From the Wdshinofon Post


Washington has long been notorious for a
small class or hard-faced. persistent people
who make the rounds of fashionable entertain
ment and receptions without either invitations
or the acquaintance of the people upon whom
they intrude. They are of both sexes and are
alike marked for brazen audacsy One was
well done up last season and taught lesson he
will be slow forgetting.
A cerIain club in the West End is noted for its
exciusl eDeSs. at dance given by it this bold
intruder put in an ap pearance faultlessy attired
ming, topped of with a fine collation. Several
of the floor managers happened together and
attention was called to the conspicuous stranger
whom none of them knew. BY comparison of
notes it was quickly discovered that none of the
authorized persons had issued him an invitation
and only one even knew his name That one
approached him and asked:
''Will you Inform me whose guest Won are
this EVENING""
The intruder hemmed and hawed, but did not
afford the desired information
You will have to pardon me- y continued the
gentleman, but it Is necessary 10 know the
>a'ne of your friend who has invited Won

not receiving any satisfactory response the
floor manager continued:
You fail to see what am trying to make
plain to you, sir. You are one of a class in this
city who force themselves into society of nao-
pie with whom they are not acquainted and
who come to exclusive entertainments with.
out the formality of an invitation Now. if Won
will take my arm will conduct YOU to the cloak
comment, but if you will take my arm people
will think YOU an acquaintance

Inspector Hughes, InvestieatiOn.


The investigation Of the charges made by
Mr.. Curtis against Messrs. Greene & Gay
nor, river and harbor contractors, and in
directly against Lieut.. Carter, the engineer
in charge Of the river and harbor work on
this part of tbs Atlantic coast, has been
concluded. There is no doubt about what
the report Of the inspector who made the
investigation will be. It cannot be other
wise than complete generation Of the
parties against whom the charges were
lodged. In saying this there is no DISPOSE
ton to influence the report of the inspector.
The main points of the testimony have been
published, and the public is capable Of
judging whether the charges were sustained
or not.
Against Lieut.. Carter, no direct charge
OF wrong doing was made, and, on the wit
ness stand, Mr.. Curtis said he had no such
charge to make against him. In fact, as
far as anything OF a corrupt character was
concerned, Mr.. Curtis had nothing, either
directly or indirectly, to say against him.
He said nothing. virtually, against him.
except that he thought be lacked the expe-
rience necessary for the management of
such important works as those entrusted to
him That is an opinion to which Mr. Cur
It's, of course, has a right. Lieut.. Carter's
superior officers, however. have different
opinion. Otherwise they would remove
him from his present position.
The interest Of the people in the investi-
cation related chiefly tn the government
works of which Lieut.. Carter has the direc-
ton. II the money appropriated for these
works was not being properly and intelli-
gently spent they were anxious to know it.
If it had apTeared that they were NOT getting
the full benefit of their river aud harbor
appropriations they would not have hest
tated to ask for Lieut. Carriers removal.
There was no testimony, however, in the
Investigation that was calculated to cause
them to question either his integrity or his
competency. They have always had conf
dence in him and their confidence is IN
shaken.
The investigation viii not lessen the
chances for getting large appropriation
from this congress for the Savannah river
and harbor. Indeed, it will rather increase
them. because the inference is that the ap-
preparations already made having been
wisely and honestly spent Others, if made,
will ha also
