How to Manage Goats.

Editor Florida AgriculturiSt
In reply to your correspondent how to
manage goats, | would say, | put o Ieath-
er collar on the animal with q large
ring, to this | attach a rope, at the end
OF which have another ring; into this q
stake or iron pin is run and driven in the
ground: the goat feeds within the cir
cumferenceof this rope
If in q grove the rope can be adjusted
so that the goat cannot cat trees. Do not
fasten it out in the hot sun, only early
morn and eve, and never leave a goat
out in a storm.
In regard to fence. Ii anything that
the goat can Jump on lays near the fence
it will Jump over. 1t is impossible to go
over ten rails. If the fence is clear and
we'll put up, small enclosure will keep
several goats.
1t is not profitable to let them run in
the woods, unless the owner is certain
there are no dogs, wild cats or hogs; any
OF them will eat up the kids.
l am satisfied the raising of goats
can be made profitable, provided the
owner will fence in land and give the ami
mails attention. Put up a rough house
for them to sleep in. If q storm comes up
you may see the goats making for the
house quite alarmed. They lose no time
about it when they hear dstan thunder.

not long deceive them. Political econO-
mists have panacea for all the ills that
the farmer is heir to, and will diagnose
the disease, as the result OF too much tar
if, too much free trade, too little curren
cy-a government for the mOnOpolists, or
manufacturers, or bankers-that the tar
iff is for the manufacturer and gives no
benefit to the farmer, the government
loans money to he banker and not to
the farmer The national banks make s
per cent. seni-annual dividends, free of
taxes That the national banks are not
taxed, that the currency has been con-
tracted from $3.50 per capita to $6, and
any or all of these combined are the
cause of the farmers sad condition. Ii
these statements werecorrect there would
be some ground for the argument, and
do not believe they have been made W tn
theintention to deceive, butfrom too care
less investigation. Instead of q contrac-
tion of the currency, in the past twelve
years the currency has been increased
two hundred and seventy million dol
lars, and by the report of Secretary Win
dom, December 31st, 1889, the per cap
tia Of circulation is 1922 .36-the largest
circulation per capita OF any leading
country in Europe. For the figures OF in
crease give the report Ct the Secretary
of the Treasury, December 81, 1889:
1S7S-Nct. amount in circulation, in
millions; United States Bank notes,
$33O,9O5; gold certificates, 1874, 1897;
National Bank notes, 1892, 1876; total
66S,334
December31, 1889; United $50, Bank
notes, $40 Coo gold certifcates, $685.
G4i;5; national bank notes, 1892 ,561; to-
tai, 1898, SOB. Increase in twelve years,
in millions, $270,16
To this must beaded the vast amount
of gold and silver in circulation, making
the $22 3G per capita in circulation in
stead of $6 as claimed.
Another statement is made that the
national hanks are not taxed. That
they make s per cent. semi-annual divi-
dends free OF taxes. Since 1870 the ratio
of dividends to capital of the national
banks in the United States has been but
little more than s per cent. and the stock
is assesse l unlike farm property, little
more than halD for taxation, at it's full
face value; one of the greatest boons OF
ourcOuntry is its national bank currency,
and sorry be the day we return to
heold bankingsy system when bank note
was not current out OF the State in which
it was issued
The tariff, free trade, the currency and
other causes, may and do affect the
turner's prosperity, but little in compar-
ison with the old universal law of supply
and demand; the rule OF spending less
than is earned, the habits OF industry,
providence and temperance, the adapta-
ton OF means to ends, the economical
adjustment of expenditures to returns.
This is what makes the difference between
the capitalist and the laborer, the fore
closing and lifting of the farm mortgage,
the poor and the rich.
''The hand of the dilligent maketh
rich" "The destruction of the poor is
his poverty, is as true now as 3 ,OOOyears
ago, and will he 5000 years hence.

be that an inhabitant of any State may
under the pretext of Interstate COM
merce and without license or supervision

those States on the subject, and although
his own State should be the only one

Nothing short of affirmative and explicit
legislation on the part of Congress will
convince them that it contemplated or

The dissenting Justices quote from
the decision in the license cases in
which the court sustained these views
and contend that the silence and mac
ton of Congress upon the subject dur
ing the long period since the license
cases appear to require the inference
that Congress intended that the law
should remain as thereby declared by
the court rather than to warrant the
presumption that Congress intended
that CONNIE rec among the States should
be free from the indirect effect of such

public safety, as was adjudged by that
decision to be within the constitutional
authority of the State.

ORIGINAL PACKAGE DECISION.

Attornev-Gener.l KELLOGG. OF Kansas, Takes
Serious View Of Its Effects.
ToPEKA, Kan, April S0.-Attorney-
General L. B. Kellogg took serious
view of the decision of the United States
Supreme Court on the original package
question. He says: ST am surprised
and disappointed at the decision. 1t
simply repudiates, as interpret 1t, the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court of forty years ago and which has
been the law during that period. Inc
court then held that New Hampshire

trary to the Prohibitory law in force In
the latter State, barrel of gin bearing

ton of the laws of Vermont.

TO expect from the Supreme Court OF the
United States. hope that there may
be something hedging in the decision
and that it is not as sweeping in its effect
as it now looks and I therefore am
anxious to see the full text The dis
senting opinion is clearer than the de-
cision itself and think that the Justice
who gave that opinion held the correct
view of the law and the question.
1.-THE decision,as read it, is.a party in
this State may bring into the State from
other States liquor in original packages
and can sell the same to second party
without liability to arrest under our
Prohibitory law"
"Then, General, you think that it af-
fects Kansas and that it will make it
possible to sell liquor in original pack
ages in this State?''
!. 81 am sorry to say it, but believe it
does that very thing. 1 fear that it is a
serious, if not fatal blow to prohibi-
ton. Our law has never attempted to
prohibit the importation of liquors int
this State, for the trainers of the law
we'll knew that it could not be done un'
der the statutes of the United States
regulating the traffic of commerce be-
tween the States. We have only sought
to prevent the sale of such liquor. This
decision says in substance that we car
not prevent the sale of such liquors as
long as they remain in the unbroken

FOR EIGHT HOURS.

The Strike For Eight Hours 1t Chicago
Thousands Leave Work and Join the
Strikers.
CHICAGO, May 3.-The threatened
strikes in this city, which may be said
to have begun Thursday. when organ
lied labor took its holiday, were not
made apparent till yesterday morning,
when the men failed to resume work at
many shops The BLACK road' in the
vicinity of McCormick's reaper works
had much the same appearance as it had
four years ago. None but strikers could
be seen, and they had entire possession.
Every man, boy and girl employed In
the malleable iron works, corner TWEEN
ty-sixth and Rockwell streets, is out
The total number of employees is 1000.
Among others were fifty girls employed
as score Makers in the foundry. No
particular reason is assigned by the
manufacturer for their quitting. A
committee consisting of two men from
each department was appointed to wait
upon the officials, but they seemed disin-
clined to consult their employers.
At the great Mccormick reaper works
about fifty molders went out, but work
progressed as usual.
At the Chicago car wheel foundry and
the Wells & French car shops every one
of the 1000 employees went out and the
shops were closed. The 200 blacksmiths
were the only ones who made known
their demand, which was for eight
hours day.
From 8, 600 to 4, 600 sash, door and blind
men walked out of the various factories
in the southwest lumber district. The
action was apparently without warning.
Four hundred men in Deman 6.
Hurka's furniture factory struck for
eight hours, and 100 employees of the
Chicago Cottage organ factory did the
same for like cause.

KEMMLER RESPITED.

The Noted Electrical Execution in New
York Indefinitely Postponed BY Writ OF
Habeas Corpus-Why Judge Wallace
Granted the Writ.
AUBURN, N. Y, April 3O.-Judge Wal
lace, of the United States Circuit Court,
has granted writ of habeas corpus, re-
turnable June II, in the case of Kemm-
Ter, the man condemned to die by cleo
tricity this week. The ground for the
writ is that the act under which the ex-
ecution was to take place is in violation
of the Constitution.
THE JUDGES STATEMENT.
NEW YORK, April 30.-Judge Wallace
says that in granting the Kemmler ha-
beas corpus writ he upheld the views of
the counsel making the application.
that inasmuch as the case was one Of
life and death the questions involved
should be passed upon by the highest
tribunal in the land. The question as
to the validity of the delegation Of power
to a sheriff to fix the time and circum-
stances of the death of a condemned
man was serious one.
The judge intimated that the restric-
ton of the liberty of the press was also
a question to be considered, but he did
not say positively that this was one of
the reasons for granting the writ. The
question of the cruelty or unusual nat
ure of the punishment would be consid-
cred by the Supreme Court.
There were other questions involved,
but the Judge did not care to extend the
interview, which was granted at very
late hour.
Paul D. Craveth, counsel for the West
inghouse Electric Company, stated pos
itively that that company had no par; in
the proceedings by which the execution
of IKemmler has been deferred.
