BIG BEN LIE FEvRE
Thinks Farmers Could Make Money
If They'd Manage Better.
From Tie Ne,o YORK star.

From tie Ne'o York STIR.
Among a number of Ohio statesmen l
found the other evening General Ben
lie Fevre, who spent about ten years in
Congress and was the devoted friend of
the late Samuel J. Randall. He also
took the distinguished Pennsylvania
view of economic questions, and voted
for protection whenever the opportunity
offered. The subject of the condition
OF our agricultural interests was being
discussed when General LIE Fevre said:
81 don't take much stock in this con-
slant talk about the poverty of the
farmers. There are other interests in
this country that need attention quite as
much. The fact is that one of the
troubles with the husbandmen of this
country is that they over.fa farm. Instead
of cultivating few acres of land we'll
they want to half till very large acre.
age. ] have farm near Circleville,
Ohio, and make money off it every
year. and / have constantly pursued
the policy of renting to my tenants
small tracts, and then see that they
cultivate them to the limit. One of the
most serious difficulties is that the
young people VINO are raised IN an
agriculture community want to live be-
yond their means and put on style
that the average farm cannot carry, and
it is very difficult any longer to get an
American boy who is willing either to
till the soil or learn trade. He wants
10 dress at the top of the fashion, and
then go visiting. OF course, we have
some evils which affect the farmer to
his detriment; but the laws are less to
blame for the present depression than
many other things, which the agri-
culturist himself can remedy.

The Passing of Halstead.

From the S. Louis RepubNc.
The Republic has been trying hard
to doubt the reports of the rupture
between Murat Halstead and the stock
holders of the Cincinnati ComDlercial-
Gazette, but there seems to be no longer
room for doubt. The stockholders have
made Mr.. Halstead a scapegoat for the
sins of his party in the Ohio campaign
of forgery. He has gone. Cincinnati
journalism will know him no more.
His trenchant shrek of exacerbated
partisanship will no more be heard, far
forward, rallying the stalwarts of Ohio
to the onset. The gray goose quilts
which winged the shafts he hurled, as
If they were levin bolts from the red
right hand of a far-thundering Zeus,
will be left to dragging decay in the
puddles of Ohio politics. For Halstead
has gOne-gone East--where all is
effete, prosaic and commonplace.

Hair on the Free List.

From Tie 81. PaM FiOneer Press.
Who is the woman in the case? Her
name is at present withheld from the
public, but she lives in Wisconsin. In
hurriedly leaving Germany she mad
vertently left her hair on the dressing
case, sent over for it by the next steamer,
and was obliged to pay heavy duty on
the same. Hence the appearance of her
fine Italian hand in the new tariff bill
now before Congress, in which human
hair is relegated to the free list

President Harrison has not yet made

Henry c. Lea, the well known Phila-

allows his administration to be con
trolled by Quay, nor has he offered any
evidence TO explain the hushing up Of
the scandal in which Quay was in

Like most other Republicans, Mr.. Har-
rison prefers to talk about some other

THE nEvrNun MARINE SERVICE
An. Experienced Sen Captain Tells OF
Its Difficulties and Dangers
MON ne Neip York Star.

ffON ne Netp 4 orr iSt0Fs
Captain Job 4. Grierson ought to
know something about maritime affairs
For over forty years, twenty six of them
as commander of ship, he has sailed
the ocean. Talking, n few days since,
on the steamship Nevada, he said;
81 see Congress is debating about
transferring the revenue cutter service
from the Treasury to the Navy Depart
ment; but ] don't think 1t will be done.
The general public knows very little
about the revenue cutter marine.
"The officers in this service are sim
ply what are called in England snug
Cling officers. They are to aid the
Treasury Department in the collection
Of the revenue. The service consists of
about thirty six vessels, some of which
are very small. ! think there are thirty
six Of them now, that they call vessels,
commanded by lieutenant or some
other commanding officer. They are
merely local boats in their character
and action. They are confined to GER
tain ports, the men being familiar with
the localities wherein they operate.
Some few of these vessels are sent from
place to place. For instance, the Grant,
the leading ship, is sometimes sent
along the whole coast to inspect and ex-
anime into the service. But the work
of each vessel is mainly local in charac-
ter, and the duties performed are largely
connected with the coast. They rarely
ever go outside fifty miles.
"ln the ordinary cruise revenue
marine vessel would never go beyond
that distance except in case of war,
when they are liable to be transferred
to active service, and when they are so
transferred they are oflicered by men
raised 10. the business, not educated like
naval officers, but raised to perform
that particular service. When trans
ferred, l believe" continued the cap
tain, "they have a school in New Lon
don, Conn, where officers are trained
for the revenue marine, and they ought
to be well trained, for their service is far
more dangerous and valuable than that
Of the navy in time of peace. They are
in continual warfare with the elements,
and the history of the revenue marine
is one of the most valuable, one of the
most interesting and one of the most
dangerous in this country. They save
wrecks, they go winter or summer, in
ptoIHl VI olLlSulHCs anu NuCu SlOrU
rages they are sent out to protect life.
They frequently make rescue as val
liable as does the Life. Saving Service
"The very character of the work has
rendered the officers of the revenue
marine and the seamen engaged in 1t
the very best coast guard in the world.
The most arduous duty that seaman
is ever called upon to perform is upon
the coast near the breakers, near the
reefs and shoals, which it requires skill
and watchfulness and seamanship to
avoid. The seaman who seeks the
safest place known to his profession
sails on the high seas, in mid. ocean,
thereby avoiding the dangers which
are everywhere near the coast. So
from the very necessity of the case, the
officers and sailors of this service have
become most skillful seamen and the
most experienced of coast pilots"
