pREsIDENrIAL PREFERENCES.

Quite an exhaustive postal card poll of farmers thfoughout the country has been taken by the New England Homest6ad and other agricultural papers on topics of interest to the fraternity and especially ion the choice for the next presidential caiai- date. The journals interested interpret the November elections as meaning that the farmers were weary of the old favorites and old measures, and demanded new men and new. issues. They therefore advocated J. M. Rusk of Wisconsin, the secretary of agriculture, and Congressman William Hatch of Missouri, ex-chairman of the house committee on agriculture. as the proper republican and democratic standard bearers for 1892. In spite of this infu- ence, however, the farmers expressed their preferences for Cleveland for the demo- catic candidate, with Hill far behind, while the republican preference was more evenly divided between Blaine and Harrison.
 Of total of 1O7, ,871 republican votes, Blaine received 39 ,209, Harrison 31, ,013, Rnsk 20, ,476, scattering 16,903. In New England the division was: Blainei Il, ,667,
 Harrison 1O,924, Rusk 7,024,, scattering l4,S77. =.
 There were 1O8, 79O democratic votes, Cleveland receiving 71,789, Hill 17,110, Hatch II ,0S2, scattering 2,031.
 The votes on other, questions shows thst federal aid to agricultural education and the teaching of agricultural science in ru- ral pubic schools are overwhelmingly en. ,rsed. The sentiment regarding govern ment owenership of railroads is quite even ly divided. A great many who vote against such ownership insist on govern. ment supervision and full control of rail. roads. x

w. E. Robinson, of Baker City, Ore. tells rather amusing story of his encount- CT with the billiard experts of the metrop- oils. Mr. Robinson was in the east for the purpose of floating tue bonds of the company which is to construct the great irrigating canal in western Nebraska. He IS a good amateur billiard player him. self, and on the first evening alter his arri- val in New York he strolied into the Hof- man house billiard parlors for game A gentleman standing by volunteered to ac- commodate him. The stranger won the bank and began to play. He nursed the balls along the cushion.7 and by the time the score had reached 100 quite q crowd had congregated around the table. He ran 175 points without break and left | the balls on the rail.
 MT. Robinson concluded that he would rather play with some one else, and 8 by. | standere took the strangers place. He likewise took the bank and ran his string out. Then he gave way to another by stander, who accomplished the same feat. Mir. Robinson was about to conclude that he wasn't much of billiard player after all, when. 8 friend dropped in and intro duced him to his opponents. They were Slosson, Heiser and Gallagher, all of whom are frequently found at the Hoffman.
 They had combined to play Ike on g stranger, and the laugh was on R ,binson. | I--OmahG World Heratoso

In vetoing the bill for public building at Bar Harbor, Me-, the president gives these good reasons: "The public needs do not justify the contemplated expendi- ture of $75,000. Only one public office, the post office, is to be accommodated. It appears from report of thee postmaster enneral that the rent paid by the United States for, a room containing 875 square feet of floor space in 1888 was $1OO, and the expenditure for fuel and lights $6O. One clerk was employed in the post office and notcarrier. The gross postal receipts for that year were $7 ,00O. Bar Harbor is almost wholly a summer resort. The pop ulation of the town of Eden, of which Bar Harbor forms part, as taken by tic cen GUS enumerators, was less than 2 ,0OO., Du- ring one-quarter of the year this popula- tion is largely increased by summer resi- dents and visitors, but for. the other three quarters is not much above the census enumeration. The postal receipts for 1890 by quarters show that for more than. half the year the gross receipts for the post office are about $S per day. The Salary of the janitor for the new building would be more than twice the present cost to the government for rent, fuel and lights. I cannot believe that upon. reconsideration congress would approve the contemplated expenditure.

What next ]?

We have just passed through a season of trade that has taxed our facilities so heavily that we have borne it, as we have, only because it was coming at an end so soon. Everybody in our service, almost, has been faith ful to his or her work; so the great pressure on our organlza- ton has been successfully borne. There has been less friction, fewer mistakes, less complaint. in this time of unexampled haste, than is habitual in many smaller place of business. The reason is, we have looked the difficulties in the face be- forehand, and held ourselves up to high standard ot prompt ness in spite of them.
 During the coming year the same opportunity for develop ment and growth will continue, the same feeling and purpose will animate us, the same in- fuences will be at work; and, we believe, we shall deserve better than ever the confidence and goodwill, and command more forcibly than ever the trade, of discerning people within trading distance.

Kansas City Star: : One day while pro- ceeding up canon: in the Raton mount. aims large silvertip bear and her cub geaped out and made rush up the sloping side nf the valley There were three in our party, and every Winchester began to talk very earnestly and excitedly. The cub tumbled dead the frst fire. 1 call him cub, but the truth is he was more than half az large as his smother and weighed 24O pounds. The old lady did not show any injury, and the, moment the young one tumbled she turned and came back | square in the teeth of the rifles, and seiz- I ing her dead cub in her month as 8 cat does kitten raised it fairly above the ground and cantered up the hill-no easy matter, as aside from the 240 pounds of limp and dragging weight she had to force her anxious, loving way ,through oak brush which in many instances might have de- tained steer. She got fairly away albe4t we fired several shots after the cub fell.
 We had just reloaded the magazines of our Wincheeters and were communing AS to taking the trail of the old bear. which showed wide and clear in broken bushes and disturbed oak leaves and pine needles, when looking up we beheldT our game com ing back straight for us. She meant busi. ness, too. Her red and steaming tongue lolled out of her half open mouth, and her eyes, partially closed in rage, would have seemed quizzical in expression were it not for the ferocity which leaped and flashed in their depths, like sheet lightning be- hind some cloud screen. She came straight to us, and we settled her troubles at the first fire. We found the cub up on the divide. She had carried it at least sixty rods, with two bullet holes in her shaggy hide, as we found when we skinned her.
