Three Presidents Sons.

By rather singular coincidence, as
the son of President Garfield departed
from a banking institution the son of
another president entered it. Neither of
the young men knew the other by sight,
and neither of them was aware that
they were near enough to exchange
greetings had they been acquainted.
The other son of president was U. S.
Grant, who is leading a very quiet and
retired life in this city. He is almost
dif1ident and shy in his dealings with
men, but he grows very greatly TO re-
semble his father. Another ex-presi-
dents son lives in New York, although
he spends much of his time in Europe
This is young Alan Arthur, whose tastes
are social and whose requirements are
those Of a refined and cultured man Of
the world, rather than in the direction
of political tastes such as distinguished
his father-New York Cor. Philadel-

Boring for Honey.

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarms Of bees have been noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, Ky. The
bluff is 10 feet high, and the river
channel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about big assure
near the center of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stung to death. AS the bees had never
been robbed, it was thought large
amount of honey was stored in the cliff
Recently we'll borer named Starks Wis
tied the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey storehouse with his
drill. After some coaxing he persuaded
a number of farmers to undergo the ex-
pense, and three inch hole was bored
from the top of the bluff AT depth of
eighty-five feet the drill struck the
honey. According TO a dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score were filled and
carried off to neighboring farms, and
the syndicate has sent TO Louisville for
more Observation-Disclosures Ledger,

Speculation Even I'm Farming.

Some persons are of the opinion thai
there is more or less speculation in every
BUSINESS transaction. A Long Island
farmer, the other day, carried his peas
to the Gansevoort market in this city.
He got just twenty cents bushel for
them. He had paid forty cents bushel
to farm hands for the bare cost Of pick
ing them. Had this farmer arrived four
days sooner he would have got $l.25 a
bushel. When he arrived the market was
we'll supplied by other farmers.-Epoch.

stor 1s going the rounds now which
would itdicate every opportunity for
Sabbath school missionary work among
the members oi the house. The other
day Cardler and Grimes, of Georgia,
got into an argument in regard to early
religious training. Grimes claimed that
the religious precepts taught in youth
were meyer forgotten, and that the cate
chism and verses of scripture then COM
mitted TO memory could be repeated
years after.
"rll tell you what I'll do, Grimes"
said Gambler, ''T'll bet you $40 even that
there isn't a man in this house can re-
peat the ten commandments without
making a mistake"
"rll just go YOU" said Grimes. "Se-
lect your men," and the money was put
up.
Mr.. Gambler said he would select Rep
resentative Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, both blue stocking Presbyte-
rians. Mr. Breckenridge was called in
first and the bet stated. The silver
tongued orator of Kentucky studied
moment and then said: "Gentleman, /
can't repeat the Ten Commandments
without mistake" Mr. Wilson was
then applied to, but the college professor
was also compelled to admit that his
memory was defective on that subject.
He got even with Gambler, however, by
saying: II am willing to bet $40 that
could have repeated any nursery rhyme,
and Gambler would not have been able
to tell the difference between it and the
Ten Commandments. "-Pittsburg Com

Then and Now.

Some of the metropolitan papers
are looking up statistics and compar-
ing prices as they existed in 1860
with those of to-day.
Some tables of wholesale prices in
the New York market, recently sum-
married. in the Tribune, throw light
upon this question. These tables
compare the prices of hundreds of ar
ticles in 1860 with the current quota
tions. They show that the aggregate
of all farm products which would
have cost 500 in 1860 would cost
now in the same market 5000, a de-
cline of only one-ffth Of one per cent.
But the aggregate of all other prod
ucts in the list, which would have
cost 500 in 1860, would cost now in
the same market only S76.43, a de-
cline of S23.57 on every 500. 1t
would appear from this. that the farm
er is getting to-day in the New York
market practically the same prices
for his products that he had thirty
one years ago, while he saves on the
average 241z per cent on the things
which he buys. A thoughtful consid-
Grafton of these facts suggests the es-
sential sincerity of the free trade ar
gument on this question of the rela-
tion of farmers to current prices.

Farmer Tafy.

There are springing up all over the
country at this time new papers and
journals purporting to be published
specially for the benefit of farmers.
One would think from reading their
prospectuses and articles that some
body, by sudden and irresistible in
fiuence, had fallen deeply in love
with the farmers. The publishers
see virtues in the farmer that they
never saw before; they sympathize
with him in all the ills and misfor-
tunes that beset him; they point out
to him the unfair and woful condition
In which he is placed by corporations,
trusts, railroads, politicians, the stat
utes and everything else that does
not make him continually prosperous
and happy. The farmer is taught
to believe that the farming class is
abused by men of all other profess
sions and occupations looked down
upon and spurned by the aristocrats
of the pick and shovel. the trowel, the
yard-stick, the pen, etc. These low
ers of the farmers are weeping burn
ing tears for the poor knights of the
soil, who, by misfortune, bad calcula-
ton or accident are burdened with
debt. 1t must be some consolation
to the poor farmer to know that there
are few in the cold world who real
lze the terribleness of his condition
and are ready to weep in his behalf.
And there is still another class of
men, not publishers of farmers jour
nails, who have come to feel tenderlv
for the farmer. They are blubbering
and soldering sort of fellows who
have come out of all classes and have
suddenly fallen love-sick with the till
ers of the soil. While they do not
dilute their tears with ink, as the
farmer loving fellow of the quill is
doing, they make speeches, they
group body of farmers together and
discount on the ills, abuses and hor-
rors of their condition. They talk in
school-hOuses, get into conventions,
small and great, and dilate over the
woes of the people; they point out
the fact that the farmers ought to or
ganize, ought to run the politics, the
legislatures and the congress of this
farmer afflicted portion of the green
earth. This class of men is compos-
ed largely of broken down or aspiring
politicians, who have either been dis

two great oceans, now in process of
construction and destined to domi-
nate the commerce of the world.
Mr.. Edmunds was an active sup
porter of the bill regulating inter-
State commerce commission.
To this list of measures which hon
orably connect Mr.. Edmunds' name
with the national legislation of the
last quarter of century, many of
great though less Importance might
added. AS it stands it is certainly a
record of which he and his State may
be proud.
Mr. Edmunds has held for seven
teen years the craftsmanship of the
committee of the judiciary-a posi-
tion second in prominence and res
possibility to no other legislative Of
fee. He was a member of the cleo
toral commission of 1876. He was
twice rendered a place upon the
bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States-once by President
Hayes and once by President Arthur
and his name has recently been
prominently connected with possi-
BILE similar appointment to the vacan-
cy which will probably soon be made
upon that bench by the retirement Of
Justice Bradley.
Mr.. Edmunds has never sought
any higher position than that occu-
pied by him in the Senate, but he was
nominated by Mr.. Billings in the re-
publican national convention of 1880,
and received 81 votes, and would
probably have been the nominee of
that covention if Mr.. Conkling had
not withheld the vote of New York
till too late to prevent the stampede
to Garfield. His name was again
most eloquently presented by Gov.
Long of Massachusetts, in the ma
tional convention of 1884, in which
"a votes were thrown for him.
During Mr.. Edmunds' service as a
senator he has, as he remarked at
the time of his last election, seen ev-
cry senator except his colleague Mr..
Morrill, and himself changed more
than once.
Mr.. Edmunds is only in his Gath
year. He has earned the rest which
he needs and proposes to take; but
at his age retirement from the Sen
ate is not necessarily final leave of
public life; and our readers will join
US in wishing him restored to health
and many years of strength and use
fulness to the State and nation, in
time to come.-Fr6e Press.

there he intends to personally inves-
tigate some matters that have been
brought to his attention concerning
the Federal officers in that city He
is determined that the administration
of those offices shall be as near per-
fection as he can make it, believing
that the more satisfactory the i'm
mense Federal business in the great
commercial center is transacted the
stronger it will make the republican
party.
Secretary Tracy is in dead earnest
about taking the navy yards of the
country out of politics, and he is al
ready hard at work arranging the de-
tails. The civil service commission
is very anxious to assist him, but he
thinks his plan better one than the
complicated red tape system of the
commission and has declined its prof
fered assistance.
Mr.. E. N. Nedecker, a prominent
German banker of Indiana, is in
Washington at the request of the
president, and it has been known
that he has been rendered the U. S.
treasurership to succeed Mr.. Huston,
whose resignation has been in the
presidents hands for some time, and
believed that he had accepted the of
fee. Mr.. Huston has just returned
to Washington from Indiana and it
is thought that he comes for the pur-
pose of transferring his office TO Mr..
Nedecker.
The president has appointed H. G.
Parker of Missouri, colored man, to
be alternate commissioner at large
of the Columbian Exposition, and
ex-Representative Crounse, of Ne
braska, to be Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury.
