The point where the dairyman
lose is the buying of fresh cows in
stead of raising graded cows of
their own. The breed is an impor-
tant factor.
In the southern part of New
Jersey there are many places where
the mild winter has allowed the
grass to be partially green.
Glover hay chopped fine and
sralded is an excellent food for
hogs. If cut as short as half an
inch it is excellent also poultry.
The COW that produces ten quarts
of milk per day requires no more
care than one that produces only
half that guam ity.
One or two days care of the early
lamb will save it. The first 4S

Many breeds of swine degenerate

During 1883 the newspapers re-
ported 2,lS4 murders in the United
States, while only 81 murderers
were convicted and hanged; one
legal executian to every twenty
five murders. This may in part
account for 144 lynchings. Refer
ringto the proposition to restore
the death penalty the Detroit Free
Press says that "the opponents of
capital punishment have had their
way these many years and mur-
ders are rife" 1t ventures the

solitary effect upon the murder

The Sun
For 1889 and for the Democracy.

The Sun believes that the camp
paign for the election of Il Demo-
critic Congress in 1890 and DEM
ocfatic President in 1892 should be-
gin on or about the fourth of next
March. The Sun will be on hanG
al the beginning and until the END
of the most interesting and impUr
tant political conflict since the
war, doing its honest utmost, as
ever, to secure the triumph of the
Democratic party and the perman-
ent supremacy of the principles
held by Jefferson, Jackson anG
rilden.
The great fact of the year is the
return to absolute power of the
common enemy of all good Demo-
Gratis the policical organization
for whose overthrow the Sun
fought at the front for fifteen year,
the memorable years of Grant and
the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield anu
Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that
Democrats now confront, and he
will be intrenched in the same
strong position. 1t has been car
ried once by brave and hopeful
fighting. Do you not believe with
the Sun that the thing can be done
again? Wait and see!
The hope of the Democracy is in
the loyal efforts of the united press
cherishing no memories of past
differences in nOn-essentials, for
getting everything but the lessons
of experience, and that victory is II
duty.
Probably you know the Sun al.
ready as a Newspaper which gets
all the news AMI prints it in in
comparably interesting shape;
which chronicles facts as they Oc-
cur and tells the truth about men
and events WITH absolute fearless
ness, making the completest and
most entertaining journal publi,h
ed anywhere on earth; and which
sells its options only to its sub

NO IMPossIRILITY ABOUT IT.

1t will be seen in our local columns that
the officers of the Amalgamsted Association
have been informed on behalf of the manu-
facturers that there can be no conference on
the scale this year, because the Manufac-
turers' Association went to pieces last year.
Consequently the scale adopted by the asso-
citation will be presented to each firm by the
lodge in the respective mills.
We have no doubt that settlement of the
scale can be effected in this way; but it
hardly seems probable that the same uni
formity of results will be attained as by d
conference. 1t is rather hard to see why
the dissolution of the Manufacturers Asso-
citation should render conference impossi-
BILE. If we are not mistaken the manufac-
turers appointed committee for conference
long before the association was formed; and
it would not be hazardous to predict that
the same thing will be done long after that
organization has gone to pieces.
But as the only persons who will be placed
at any disadvantage by separate action
among the manufacturers and united action
among the men will be the manufacturers
themselves, they can of course take the pol
icy that suits them best.

NEW YoRps NEXT cENTENNIAI.

With one centennial celebration just con-
cluded, New York through some of her
newspapers is rather vehemently urging
the desirability of holding the Great
Worlds Fair in New York City in 1892,
to celebrate the 4OOth anniversary of the dis
covery of'America by Christopher Colum-
bus. Other cities, notably Washington,
are also eager to boss this centennial cele-
bration, but it is hardly worth while to ex-
anime their clashing claims.
There isan interesting side to New York's
noisy demand to be considered the fttest
place for the Columbus Centennial Fair.
Before the metropolis is accorded the ap-
proval of the country in taking the contract
for an enterprise of such magnitude it
would be we'll for New York to make it
clear that the centennial celebration of 1892
will not be conducted under the conditions
which disgraced that of 1889. IfNew York
will promise to send her entire Legislature
to iail. the Board of Aldermen to the work
house. and the Four Hundred, particularly
stuyvesant Fish and McAllister to insane
asylums, or other suitable harbors for de-
mented persons. at least one month before
the festival of 1892 shall commence. the
country will be glad enough to see Gotham
grab this opportunity TO make some more
money under patriotic auspices.
But the entire country wishes to be
spared another exhibition of Legislators

THE ANTIQUE In BuRLEsauE.

When the aged but ever fair Lydia
Thompson was in Pittsburg few months
ago it was a noticeable feature of her en-
gagement that it was not financially howl
ing success. In fact, the company must
have then been on its last legs, although to
look at them they appeared substantial
enough TO have borne the fair burlesquers
for years with ease and comfort. Just now
Lydia and her manager are trying to find
out who is liable for the seasons losses.
Lydia says she put in s, 900, and thinks she
ought not to pay more for the privilege of
dancing like an eighteen-year-Old and sing
ing like swan with sore throat at the
venerable age of two score years and ten.
And we agree with Lydia
But we think Lydia, with her British
blondes and brunettes, had better go home.
Americans are too impressionable. They
are not accustomed to such juvenile song
and dance artists. 1t was only last Satur-
day that an ardent youth of Chicago killed
himself on account of hopeless infatuation
for Lydia Thompson. He was but twenty
five. Before he was born Lydia was break
ing mems hearts. The danger looms up
that the generation now in the cradle will
go crazy over the aged Lydia thirty or forty
years hence.
Go home to London, Lydia, where the
grandchildren of your first admirers are
posted on your gay deceptions, and accumu-
late pounds instead of losing dollars. The
American rare for ANTIQUES is evidently
being carried to absurd lengths,

THEY IGNORE THE LAW.

The recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court, which took into consldera-
tion the legal status of combinations to sup
press competition, is being quoted as con-
tanning food for reflection. The case arose
out of combination between two gas COM
panies in Baltimore, and the Court, while
holding that a statute in Maryland made
the contract invalid, gave some declarations
upon the general subject of such combina-
tions, which are full of pertinencs on the
present policy of trusts and pools.
Thus the Court said: "Innumerable cases
might be quoted to sustain the proposition
that combinations among those engaged in
business impressed with public or quasi
public character, which are mahifestly pre-
judicial to the public interest, cannot be up
held" Again as bearing especially upon
the agreements between corporations by
which they unite to suspend competition
with each other, the Court declared: ''It is
also too well settled to admit of doubt, that
a corporation cannot disable itself by con-
tract from performing the public duty which
it has undertaken, and by agreement
compe1 1ISell W MAKE puD1lc dccOm-
modations or convenience subserYient
to its private interests" These prin-
ciples, if applied to their legitimate ex-
tent, would make short work of all the trusts
and pools, which are now so much in vogue.
The editorial comments upon this decision
betray an impression that it is the enuncia-
ton Of new or at least generally unknown
doctrines. That is incorrect. The doctrines
have been declared time and again by the
highest courts and legal writer's. The
supreme courts of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Massachusetts, and the Court of Appeals of
New York, have all laid down this doctrine
as clearly as the United States Supreme
Court does. 1t is important of course that
the United States Supreme Court has re-
newed the declarations which have been
recognized principles OF law for centuries;
but it is also pertinent to remember that the
law has been clearly recognized and the
principle undisputed, from the beginning
of constitutional government.
In view of that fact. there is the most
food for reflection in the fact thatthe greatest
bodies of capital have persistently gone on
with their policy in violation of the recog-
nized and fundamental principles of law.

NINETY MILES AN HOUR.
Fast Travelling by n Railroad Flyer-An
American Engine in England.
From, tho PhiIa daInhto Racord ,

Fast Travelling by Railroad Flyer-An
American Engine in England.
From the Philadelphia Record.J
A single mile in 80 seconds, and eight miles
covered at this prodigous speed, was the record
made the other day on the Bound Brook Rail-
road by engine No 206, of the Wootten pattern,
that drew the fast train which leaves Philadel-
phia at 7:S0 A. M. There were five cars IN the
train, and John Hogan. veteran engineer, was
in the cab. The massive Strong locomotive,
which has recently been tried on the Reading
Railroad, took the fast express to New York
for number of days. and. when No. 206 made
its remarkable run, it was trying to surpass the
record Of its rival. The speed recorded is
equivalent to a rate of over 80 miles an hour.
The record is probably the fastest ever made in
this part of the country.
Some years ago Long Tom," a New Jersey
Central locomotive, drew q train carrying
Chester A. Arthur, then President and party
of friends at the rate of mile in 81 seconds, as
regarded with some doubt. Another perform
ance has been recalled by the record of No. 206.
The Shaw engine, which has lately been run
ming on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, made
trial of speed some years ago before the Ohio
Railroad Commissioners A mile was made in
an hour was maintained without the maximum
of performance being reached. 1t is likely that
this Shaw locomotive will make an attempt to
secure the record either on the Baltimore and
Ohio or the Atlantic City Railroad.
1t has been decided by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to send one of its best engines, perhaps
"Long-legged No. TO-" to England to be tried
on the roads there. It will make it's first ap-
pearance on the London and Northwestern
Railroad. As the English railroads are much
straighter than those in this country railroad
men are much interested to see what an Ameri.
can locomotive can do on bee line track.
