A certain face ious delegate pre-
pared the following burlesque reso-
luton yesterday:
Whereas, tine states of Alabama,
Florida and Georgia, and have also
heard the state of Iowa. are the grow.
ers Of two important food products,
the real value of which is but little
known outside of the territory where
they are produced; and
Whereas, the proper use of these
two great food products would greatly
add to the wealth of those sections
producing them, as well as to the
comfort and pleasure Of the commits
sions as well as the masses of the civil.
lied world therefore be it
Resolved, that the secretary of agri-
culture be requested to establish
throug hou, American aud Europe
bakeries which will teach the people
how 10 prepare for table use the sivory
meat of the SJuhern Gopher and
Stripped-head Terrapin, and that the
congress of the United States be petit
toned to place upon the list of pro-
tecied American products these two
imp,rtan animals-the said Southern
Gophers aud Stripped-head Terrapins.
The following, introduced by w,
). DeIano, was adopted:
Whereas, The subject Of the isola-
ton of the farmer has received new
recognition in the trial in several of
your rural districts, of free, daily de-
livery Of the mail, thereby enableing
our farmers to avail themselves of the
benefit Of rapid correspondence and
the daily papers, and
Whereas, We are informed that
this service has met with much great
er success than was at first anticipate
ed in the increase of revenue to the
department, equal to the increased
Expenditure, and
Whereas, The communities where
this service has been inaugu-
rated have unitedly testi-
fed to IFS great comfort and
benefit and have been very reluctant
to drop its use.
| Therefore, be it resolved, that we
urge upon congress assembled and
upon our several representatives the
adoption Of this method and system of
mail distribution among the rural
population and in our smaller towns,
as rapidly as consistent with the in
terests of the department having the
same in charge.
| Resolved, that we believe the in
terests of the whole nation will be bet
ter subserved by free delivery than
by further cheapening of letter pos
tsge at this time.
| The following by the same gentle.
man was laid upon the table:
| Whereas, The interests of the pro-
ducers Of corn lie in the direction of
increased consumption Of the product
arising from wider distribution Ofthis
cereal over the world. Therefore be
it resolved
a. That we respectfully ask the
secretary Of agriculture to increase
the number Of representatives for
pushing the work o. introduction of
this cereal abroad as q human food
product, believing as We do that the
marked success attained already is our
warrant for such request.
(2.) That we urge upon our
representatives in congress the
Importance Of endorsing this work of
the secretary, and placing such a sum
in the urgent deficiency bill as will
cover the expense of such agents.
(3.) That We especially urge upon
