THE Chicago Herald says: The
Republicans might just as we'll bear
in mind, however, that selfishness Of
ten Overrcaches itself, and that the
seliishncss of the Republican party
has hereto been no exception to this
rule. Far instance, what would not
that party do to recall negro suffrage ?
1t is by no means unlikely, there
fore, that this multiplication of States
may prove their ruin in the future.
Tariff reform is making great strides
in the West, and will at no distant
day capture all OF the States recently
admitted. Indeed, if party zeal were
craftsmanship and patriotism we
would be as willing To admit these
Territories as the Republicans are.
But it is not

The Farm is the Basis.
Mirror and Farm.

uHu rdIUl.
The farm is the foundation of all
other callings, which trace their roots
back to tho soil, and the farmer is the
basis of all national strength. The
dweller in the city may, in the hour
Of danger, take his worldly wealth and
flee, or, if his wealth is in buildings,
may have them destroyed in an hour.
Not so with the farmer. If he leaves
his farm he leaves all. The buildings
are the minor part of his wealth.
National instinct compels him to
fight for his home and country, al
though men in all other callings may
run away. His calling is the case of
all progress and prosperity, and he
should, from the fact of his position,
stand at the head intellectually,
socially, and politically, under a free
government like ours. 1t is the man
that honors the calling, and not the
calling that honors the man. Tie
farmer must occupy the position
which he qualities himself to fill, and
he cannot reasonably expect to occupy
a higher one. All depends upon him.
self. In recent lecture Prof. Brewer,
OF Yale College, well illustrated this
idea which came under his own Obser-
vation. A man bought a farm for
$40 an acre. He SO improved it that
in few years he was offered $500 an
acre for it. At his death it was sold
for $3.50 an acre. In few years the
purchaser sold it for 500 an acre to a
man who finally sold it for $l2 an
acre. Here it was plainly the men
and not the farm that determined the
value. 1t is 50 in all cases. Although
there is difference in farms owing
to location and the nature of the soil,
yet there is wider difference in the
men who run them, and the laggards
must. ere long, drop out in accordance
with the law of survival OF the fi.test.

An Earnest Protest.

The Jacksonville, Florida, Times
Union publishes an open letter to
President Harrison, under date of the
9th ult., stating that the people OF Flor
ida regard the Presidents letter to At
torney General Miller with surprise
and deep sense OF injury. They are
convinced that the statement it con-
tains about resistance to the legal pro-
cess in Florida must have been based
upon misinformation as to the actual
state of affairs in the countries named.
This is'nformation probably existed
in the reports made to the Department
of Justice by officers of the court for
that district. Hawthorne proceeds to
cast discredit upon these reports by
asserting that District Judge Swayne
openly boasted that the policy of his
court would be one of bitter persecu-
ton OF the Democrats. This thought
put Democrats on the defensive and
provoked wide spread suspicion OF
Judge Swayne's tribunals. The letter
goes on to recite that the United States
Jury Commissioner flagrantly discrim-
mated against the Democrats, twenty
two out of twenty-thrce members OF
the Grand Jury being Republicans.
Wholesale indictments against Demo-
Gratis for political offenses were then
found on the most unreliable testi-
mony. This reused the people to in
dignation and fear. In cases that
came to trial the courts rulings were
often partisan. No wonder the people
of the counties referred to shrink
from appearing for trial before such
court, or that they preferred the hard
ships of concealment to the dangers OF
an unfair trial. The writer speaks
from the standpoint of one who came
here with Northern affiliations and
and has learned the true
temper and worth OF the people whom
he cannot, without protest, suffer to be
maligned.

RAMESES II.
p. T. Barnum's idea Of Immortalizing
the Worlds Fair.

Under the title, a" The Pharaoh Of
the Exodus" P. T. Barnum in the
North american Reriew, has the fol-
lowing to say: What novel feature
would propose for the worlds fair?
Now, l will present the fair committee
with one of my ideas-an idea that
might bring me a million of money.
In the museum at Boolak, in Egypt,
lies the mummified corpse of Rameses
II, the Pharaoh OF the Exodus, with
that 6f his daughter, the savior of
Moses, and other less distinguished Of
the royal Egyptian family of that era.
l had authorized an agent to offer the
Egyptian Government as much as
100000 to allow me to exhibit those
remains in Europe and the United
States. will relinquish my right OF
priority of claim in the idea to the fair
committee. Let them obtain the loan
of these mortuary relics from the
Egyptian government and allow the
Khedive to send his own soldiers to
guard the coffiins. Think of the stu
pendousness of the incongruity! To
exhibit to the people of the nineteenth
century, in a country not discovered
two thousand or three thousand years
after his death, that corpse of the king
OF whom we have the earliest record!
Consider, too, that the corpse is so per-
fectly preserved, after thousands Of
years in the tomb, that its features are
almost perfect; SO perfect that every
man, woman and child who looks upon
the mummy may know the counte-
nance of the despot who exerted so
great an influence upon the history Of
the world. And it might be n useful
thought to this generation, proud OF
scientific and mechanical triumphs, to
bear in mind that the art that en-
balmcd the body of Rameses so per-
fectly is lost, with a great many others
that were also known to remote an
tiquity.

Every little girl will soon be able to
own doll that really talks. Edison
has opened an exhibition of his latest
inventions at the Lenox Lyceum, in
this city, and among the novel feat.
ures are ten big dolls, which stand in
row, and when crank in their backs
IS turned they utter various rhymes.
One says, Mary had little lamb"
another, Twinkle, twinkle, little
star" and soon. The voices, of course,
are highly squeaky, but the words are
plain. Another doll, in separate
part OF the house, gives forth with
great distinctness. in childish treble,
There was little girl who had lit
tie curl" A real perfect doll can now
wink, walk, gesticulate, smoke and
talk. The talking effect is produced
by the revolving of a tiny phonograph
cylinder set inside the doll. Each
doli can speak its speech 5000 times.
Another feature of the exhibit is a
chamber known as the Bellamy room,
where all the comforts and luxuries of
the household are provided by elec-
trical apparatus. The visitor has
meals served on table which moves
out of the way by electricity. The
cigar is lit by an electric spark. Not
daring to go out to the theatre, it be-
ing rainy, he connects a telephone
with the Casino and hears Lillian
Russell in 6" The Grand Duchess" and
getting tired of that he listens to Patti
in 4" Linda" at the Metropolitan opera
house. For intellectual food he turns
a key and hears a speech by Gladstone
or lecture by Goldwin Smith. Desir-
ing to retire he hears prayer by Spur
geon or Cannon Farrar, and rolling
into bed gets well tucked in and
presses a button, which puts out the
lights and locks all ti.t doors.

Complicated and Expensive.

Ex-Speaker Carlisle thinks the
Lodge federal election bill, now be
fore Congress. one OF the most objec-
tionable measures ever brought be-
fore that body, and considers that it
would be practically impossible to
hold legal election under Its compli-
Gated provisions.
In speaking of the bill Mr.. Carlisle
says:
Suppose we do little figuring on It to start
with. II this bill were q law there would be a.

try, at every Congressional and Presidentia.
election, seven federal officials, making tota
of 630 go men, and costing ten or fifteen millions
of dollars every two years. This estimate II
based upon the present number of voting pre-
cincis but the complications OF this bill would
make the process Of voting such slow one that
the number of precincts would have to be large
ly increased, perhaps doubled. in order to give
the voters an opportunity to deposit their Dial
lots.
The bill has not Leen much better
received by the Republicans than by
the Democrats. The Australian sys-
tenn is considered much more practica-

THE Philadelphia Times announces
on what it says is conclusive authority,
that the Republicans have abandoned
the idea OF passing tariff bill at this
session. finding it impossible to recon-
cile the conflicting claims of Western
Republicans and Eastern manufac-
turers and fearing a party split across
the Alleghanies on the question of
prohibiting the importation of for
eign raw material. If this is true
and it probable-the Mckinley bill
will probably be passed in the House
on the agreement that it is to be in
tered as quickly as possible in the
Senate.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: EVENING" MAY 1890
Decline in Wheat-Growinp.

The general statement by the great
miller, Phillbury, of Minneapolis, that
the production of wheat is not in
creasing, seems to be fully borne out
by the exact facts, says the Chicago
Inter-Ocedn. The available stock of
wheat in this country, east of the
Rocky mountains, is falling off at a
startlingly rapid rate. Two years ago
it was 65,724 900 and now it is only
A 1862 900, a falling off of over twenty
millions Of bushels, or, in two years,
rather more than one-third. If it
werenot for thc-dcpression' ef-fcti-
tious wheat sales our farmers would
now be getting good prices for their
surplus, instead of starvation prices,
and the volume of production would
gradually increase.
The total wheat stocks, European
and American, on the 1st OF this
month, were S5,S4I,9Ol, as against
lO3,724 900 the year before. The de-
cline in this country east of the
Rockies, as shown in the preceding
paragraph, is at the rate of 100000
bushels year, and in the two conti-
nents the decline of the last year alone
was about 100000. Under the ope-
ration of legitimate trading the de-
crease in quantity would work an in
crease in price, and that, in its turn,
would stimulate production. Thus
the market would gradually regulate
itself, and neither the producer nor
the consumer would bc at the mercy
of the other; but the sales of fictitious
wheat are depressing prices all the
time, and that depression is reducing
the supply.

career. A few days ago she appeared
in the office of the Administrator OF
the Administrator OF the Terry estate
at Fresno, Cal, and demanded some
money. Sayle, the administrator, said
that none was on hand belonging to

Caldwell elected her, but she returned

the hereditary diseases handed down
from sire OF dam to offspring. This may
not be strictly true, writes veterinary

in one sense it is doubtless correct, for
while the diseased hook itself may not
be transmitted, vet the form of hook
most liable to be affected by SPAWN, if
possessed by either sire or darn, is liable
10 reappear in the progeny. Short, mar
row hooks are much more liable TO suffer
from SPAWN than long, wide wedge

ers can remember to their advantage
when selecting their stock.
