lrexicO's Retaliation.

A Kansas City dispatch of Oct.
10Th, says; There f. considerable
excitpent among Kansas City
sIockmen relative to advices re.
ceived from Mexico, to the effect
that that country has placed a
duty of $500 per car on American
cattle. II the advices are true, and
they come from a reliable source,
this practical " ruins oil live stock
trade between this country and
Mexico. The act of the Mexican
government is purely a retaliatory
ops, and was precipitated by the
Mckinley bill. Many cars OF
American cattle are now on the
Mexican border.
The ret aliatory policy Of the
Mexican government against tho
Mckinley bull has begun, and its
effects will be severely felt all
through the western states. Be.
ginning with yesterday d tax of
$500 a car load on horses and cat
tie against United States importa.
tons will be enforced in all Mexi.
a ports. Cattle and horses sent
across the Rio Grande yesterday
and today by unsophisticated own
ers were subject to those duties.
The consequence is, that several
carloads have been seized. The
Mexican congress, in addition, pas
sed u re%taliatory tax upon importa-
tions WHICH have been mostly ship
ped to Mexico from Kansas City.
The importation tax on United
States hogs has been fixed at $3.50
a head. As there are no hogs of
any value raised in Mexico, the re-
suit will DO that the Mexican con-
sumers will pay 1T cents per
pound for pork instead oil the present
price, which IS : cents. Exporta
tons to Mexico have for the pres
ent ceased. II is understood, how
ever, that they will be shortly re-
Pumod, az the Mexican purchaser,
and not the American exporter, will
pay the duty.-Stock Grower.

A GOOD START.

The Republican State convention yes terday made up an admirable ticket. For months it has been plain that Lieutenant Governor Merwin would head the ticket, and it was also plain that he was the choice of large majority of the Republicans of the State. Governor Bulkeley has made no effort to be renominated, although his administration has strengthened the good opinion of him held by his old friends and made him many new ones. He has let the Democratic newspapers chatter to their hearts content about his plans and pur- poses and attended strictly to the duties of his office and his own business. Many would have been glad to have him lead in the coming campaign, but all are satisfied that very strong ticket has been nomi- mated. General Merwin has long been popular throughout the State, and during the last two or three years his popularity has rapidly increased. The indications are that he will have a very large vote and with the right kind of work and enough of it he will be elected by the people.
 The nomination of George Austen Bowen, master of the State Grange, for lieutenant-governor, was wise move MT. Bowen is & man of much force and ability, and his selection was fitting con- cession to the wishes of the Connecticut farmers.
 The nominee for Secretary of State, ex- Senator George P. Mclean, is one of the most promising of the younger Republi- | cans. His rise in public life has been rapid. He is a natural orator, and was | conspicuous and influential as legislator. He is very popular, and deservedlyso. The renomination of State Treasurer E.. Stevens Henry was a deserved compli- ment. Mir. Henry has handled the inan- cial affairs of the State in a masterly way. | The nominee for Comptroller, Senator Lyman S. Catlin, of Stratford, is war veteran, and has done the State good ser vice since the war He will add strength to the ticket.
 The Democrats made strong ticket, but that of the Republicans is stronger one. It is difficult to see how it could be bet tered. It was enthusiastically received by the convention, and the addresses of Sena tor Platt and General Merwin were alse inspiring.
 The platform deserves and will repa, careful reading. It is not hackneyet and perfuuctory affair, but deals squarel, with the live issues. It favors tariff re vision while maintaining protection. I approves reciprocity, as every sensibl man does. It favors fair voting It point with justifable pride to the management of the State finances by the Republicans It commends the action of the Republican in the national house of representative and pays a merited compliment to tn present executive officers of the State. A good start has been made. Now tn most important thing that remains to b done is for the Republicans in every tow of the State to nominate their very bes men for the legislature. With good nom
 nations it will be comparatively easy win in the important contest before us
 Let the nominees for the legislature col

tain top. It takes three days to get up there and return, and in all 112 burdens of building material, and ninety burdens of furniture, provisions and scientific instru- ments were carried up between the 18th and 31st of July. The cottage is of wood, lined with tarred felt, and surrounded by wall or bulwark of rough stones. It has lots of provisions, several stoves and ten beds The temperature up there is Siberian.
 Congressman Grout of Vermont tells Washington reporter all about the Yer mont election. He says: It may sound rather funny, but the real trouble in Yer mont was that the farmers were getting in their oats on election day. There were some other little troubles which caused falling off in the Republican vote, such as the question of high license, which was raised, and the sharp personal canvass between the two candidates for governor; but the chief and main trouble was the oats The weather had been miserable up to election day, and the otherwise sacred day was the first opportunity which the farmers had had to get in their crops, and they naturally took advantage of the chance. Vermont, however, is all right.
 The temperance agitators secured the enforcement of law which had laid on the statute-book dead letter for fifteen years, forbidding the sale of liquor at a bar. The saloon-keepers were required to remove the bars, or at least suspend their use, and substitute tables at which one must sit and make pretence of ordering a cracker or some other article of food as the only condition of getting drink of liquor. Some people appeared to expect that the change of methods would make a great difference in the amount of liquor drunk, but such does not appear to have been the case. The Boston Record has been making investigations in that city, and finds that while the new regulations are generally observed, nine-tenths of the iquor-dealers say that they are making more money than under the old system.
 Sir Benjamin Baker, one of the con-  structors of the great bridge over the firth of Forth, has come over the ocean to in- spect the work on the new ship railroad in Nova Scotia, of which he is chief engi- neer, and also that on the North river tun- mel at New York, in which he is con- cerned. The Nova Scotia railway is to connect the bay of Fundy with the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and save thereby nearly three days voyage. This great work em- ploys 400 men, and is expected to be completed in the spring of 1899; the Do minion government guarantees the com pany $170, 1000 a year for twenty years. Sir Benjamin regards it as impossible to complete the Panama canal for any pur- pose; it would cost s150, 1000, 900 to fix it over for ship railroad, and not less than $500, ,OOO, 900 to finish it on its original plans.

 Beyond slight hollow in the ground, the ostrich makes no nest, and the farmer has to bank this up all round to prevent rain from running into it. The eggs num- Der twelve to fifteen, one being laid each day, the birds standing over them to shade them from the sun until the whole number are laid, and then the eggs are sat on continuously. The hen sits during the day and the cock at night, and it is curi- ous about dawn, if the hen does not go voluntarily to the nest, to see the cock get of the eggs and literally kick her on to the nest. As general rule the two birds sit alternately, but sometimes hen is found who will not be persuaded to go near the nest, and the poor cock will sit day and night to hatch his brood, until he | is nearly dead with exhaustion When the next brood-time comes on, and the eggs are all ready for sitting on, the cock usually makes up his mind to stand nc such nonsense, and gives the hen thrash | ing that does not promise to leave one whole bone in her body. After this 'ths hen usually sits very patiently and sub missively.
 An authority has said that these birdi have no brains to speak of, only propor ton of one to 1,500, against the parro one to fifteen.

CARDS were invented in France in 1851 for the amusement of the king and royal family. In 1878 in the state of Kentucky far better discovery was made, i. e., that a wholesome alcoholic stim- lant could be made for the use of the people as public blessing, and the G. O.
