Mr.. Cook, twill be required to devote only
one meeting in each month to questions of
national interest when called upon so to do,
but when local matters are of greater
IN to the subordinate association, the
national question may be voted upon and re-
ported without discussion. and at all other
meetings local questions of any nature which
may be of the greatest interett to the men,
berS of the subordinate association may be
discussed, so far as such questions and sub
jects are not in violation of their obligation.
These associations thus furnish a ready
means for the agitation and discussion OF any
matter OF local interest to its members, and
they may or may not be used in the interests
of an independent political movement. This
is left entirely with the subordinate asSocia-
tons. But we shall publish their quarterly re-
ports of membership in each voting precinct
and thus enable them to know their exact
strength i'll each ward, town, county or state.
and in tine United States. And we shall be
glad to join at any time IN a political move
ment in any ward, town, district or state
when such movement is Endorsed by a ma
jority vote OF the members Of our association
within said district as shown by their quar-
terlY reports. And as soon as circumstances
will permit we shall establish a bureau of in
formation for the purpose OF collecting relta-
bic facts and statistics Of general interest, and
bearing upon the live issues of the day for
general distribution among the members of
our association. We shall endeavor as far
as possible to assist our membership in edu-
eating themselves In parliamentary rules and
practices. in the general principles of polit-
zeal economy and In the science of govern
ment, as we'll as upon all the important is
| sues OF the day, with a view of establishing a
just and equitable government economically
administered, both state and municipal, as
well as national.
This is not a party movement orr secret or
ganization, and If it leads to an independent
political movement 1t must emanate from the
members of the subordinate associations,
and will be considered a necessity for the
solution of the political problems of the day,
as it is the object OF the national associ alton
to prevent a physical revolution BET ween
labor and capital which could not but result
disastrously to all concerned. But we aim to
bring about a moral and political revolution
/ by means of education and the stimulation
of a pure and noble patriotism among the
voters of our country, n thus establish a
just and equitable government economically
administered. And we appeal to all law
abiding, liberty loving and patriotic citizens
of the United States for support"

ECHO OF THE FIGHT"
Trainer Carroll is Freed From
the Charge Of Training
F~itZsimmons.
He Was Merely the Guest Of
the Champion Middle
weight Pugilist.
Attorney MeCafferty Stigma
ties the Prosecution as
Purely Persecution,
And the Law and Order Com
plainants Are Given a
Rib Rooster.

The adjourned cases of The State
against James Carroll and Barney
Smith, who were arrested on July 81
on a charge of assisting Robert Fitz-
simmons to train for his proposed ell
counter with Jim Hall, occupied the
attention of the municipal court yester-
day from 9 in the morning until half
past 6 in the evening. Pierce Butler
appeared for the state and Judge Nc
Catferty represented the defendants.
All parties concerned were on hand,
and a great deal of attention was ocGa-
stoned by the presence Of the redoubt-
able FitzSimmons.
AS the case against Carroll was con-
sidered the stronger, it was first taken
up, and for two hours counsel were en-
gagged in objecting to names put for
ward in order to secure a jury. Many
of the gentlemen called were excused
on the ground of actual bias, and n
wOuld-be Juror was challenged because
he belonged to the Y. NJ. G. A, and said
he had peculiar views upon sparring
and boxing contests. At the midday
hour the entire panel was exhausted
and only nine jurors had been secured.
Judge McCafferty was willing to try the
case without a full jury, but the state
objected. After the luncheon hour the
jury was sOon completed, and after be-
ing sworn, Judge McCatferty moved for
a dismissal on the ground that the COM
plant was vague and insufficient. He
quoted 4 number of legal opinions upon
the point, but at the close of his argu-
ment Judge Twohy
OverruIed the Motion
and the case was opened by the state.
FitZSimmOnS testified that he was q
blacksmith and that Hall was a plaster
er. He admitted that he had been in
training and was at the present time,
but denied that he had been training
specially for a fight. Carroll and Smith
had never helped him to train. His
trainers had been Robinson, of New
Orleans, and Dan Needham.
Rev. w. p. Landon, assistant pastor
of the House of Hope church, was called.
and stated that he visited White Bear
Lake on July Is, and in a shanty near
Leip's hotel he saw Carroll, who said he
was Fitzsimmons, trainer. He saw
-FitZSlmmOnS punching the bag, and
also saw Carroll put on the gloves for
him, and Barney Smith held the watch
and counted the blows. Carroll gave
Fitzsimmons something colored out of
a bottle" Cross examined by Judge
McCafferty: He stayed in the training
quarters half an hour, and enjoyed the
exhibition Of skill displayed by Fitz-
simmons punching the bag. He was
present as a spectator and was not a
guest of FitZsimmons. He swore out
the complaint against the defendants.
d. w. Doty, a lawyer, ties titled that
he went to White Bear with Rev. Mr..
Landon. He asked Carroll there if he
was the trainer" and Carroll said he
was: carroll told him the fight was to
be a finish fight. He saw FitZsimmons

TO BE R~E-SAILED.
Yachting at White Bear Was Ex-
citing and Unsatisfactory,

A more exciting, closely contested
and unsatisfactory race was never sailed
than the regatta of the White Bear
Yachting association yesterday after
noon. 1t abounded in exciting incidents
which very nearly became accidents,
and the weather was never more favor
able, but nearly every boat in the regat-
ia fouled some other boat, OIL was fouled
itself. Consequently each man in the
race implicitly believes that the race
should have been awarded to him. But
the Storm King was awarded the peu-
nant, and thus adds a third victory to
her list. The report of the judges
was as follows:

1t is the aim of the National Association of
the United States of America TO effect a com
plete organization of the patriotic, law-abid-
ing and liberty-loving citizens of America. in
the interests of justice and equality aud a
pure government, both state and municipal,
as well as national, by establishing an associ-
alton in every voting precinct of the Amer1-
can continent.
The American people are waking up TO the
fact they wantl less of party, perjury and
"plunder.' and more of "patriOtisp, ''pur-
ity" and "prineiple, and the objects of these
associations are to stimulate patriotism, en-
courage purity, and establish principle by

Business Methods on the Farm,

Time was when farming was haphazard
work, says a writer in California ex-
change, and the farmer only knew that he
was falling behind when the sheriff called to
serve papers in suits for debt.
Farming ''by the rule OF thumb" is be-
ginning to disappear. good planter now
keeps a book account with his fields; and in
California many a careful orchardist knows
the cost of maintaining each tree, and the
net return that he gets from it.
We have been told by farmers who had
gone on for years without keeping &C
gave a new zest and pleasure to their busi>
ness. One good rancher in Suffer county
told us that 1t actually gave to his work al
most the glow OF playing at q game Of skill.
de would finish up seed time by debiting
each field with the cost of tillage and plant
ing, charging to it a proper share of wear
and tear Of tools and teams; and then the
fun began, to see that field hump itself to
get out of debt and leave a margin of
profit.
Successful farming, especially fruit-grow-
ing, requires quite as much business ability
and management as any mercantile busi-
ness. What would be thought of a mer-
chant who kept no accounts, had no rec@
ords of what anything cost HIM, or what he
had IL for, or what his expenses or profits
werei The farmer or fruitsgrower who
would realize the full measure of success
in his occupation should conduct his bust
ness just as carefully and keep just as ac-
curate a record of it as the merchant.

Rouen DuCks.

The Rouen duck is one of the largest and
best domestic varieties. says Mrs. J. B.
Howe in american AgricuLturist. The
head of the drake is lustrous green; the
bill in color is greenish yellow, with black
bean at the end. The neck is of the same
color as the head, with white ring that
should not quite meet at the back. The
color Of the back is ashy gray, shading to
green at the lower part. The breast is
broad and deep. and of purplish-brown or
claret color. The ground color of the
wings is grayish mixed with green, and
having a broad ribbon-like mark of rich
and blue, edged with white. The feet are
orange~colored, brownish tinged.
The duck is of light brown color pen-
oiled with darker brown. Her wing has the
ribbon stripe similar to the male Her bill
is brownish-orange in color, with a dark
blotch on the upper part and black bean
at the end.
The Rouen is supposed to be derived from
the wild Mallard in common with other do
mes5icated varieties, and closely resembles
it in color and form. 1t is, perhaps, the best
duck in a state of domestication, being
much less inclined to wander than most va

ing to a large size. Birds have been known
to lay an egg day for ninety odd consecu-
tive days. and three ducks from February to
July have laid 1874 eggs. Young birds often
lay good clutch of eggs in the fall, and it
frequently occurs that a good layer shows
no tendency to sit.
A pair of Rouens have frequently been
known to weigh ten to twelve pounds at the
age of nine to ten weeks The brakes are
heavier than the ducks. but the difference is
slight in comparison with the disparity be-
tween the sexes in most varieties.
Rouens are quiet ducks, very docile and
easy of management. They will, like other
ducks, eat all kinds of food, fish, reptiles,
augs. snails, meat, seeds, grass and vegeta-
bles; and, being voracious feeders, grow
rapidly and can be fattened for market with
great ease. They are also healthy and
hardy, aud breed readily with the wild NAL

manufacturing town of Rouen, France, sit

highly as abroad.
