Has to Cross a Bottomless swamp.

The Coulee City Nelrs says: The Urquhart
swamp on the Crab creek route OF the Great
Northern is rather a gtickar to the engineers.
The survey follows 1t for about six miles, in
closed most of the way by perpendicular walls.
For two miles the line is forced to take its
course right through the swamp, which will
have to be trestied. The difficulty lies in ind
ing a secure foundation for the piling to rest
on; the swamp seems to be bottomess.

"BUcK" KILGoRE, late Adjutant- General
of Ector's rebel brigade, and now Repre-
sentative from Texas, is one of those " mis-
guided Southern brethren" who never can
forgive the men who guided them right with
the persuasive eloquence of Springfield
musket. He is terror to all who have
private pension bills, and rarely fails to stop
the passage of such by an objection Last
week he objected to and prevented the con-
sideration of bill allowing the GAR. men
employed under the Government in Wash
ington seven days leave of absence during
the National Encampment. This was a very
petty exhibition of spitefulness. There are
comparatively few GAR. men in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and every one of them
will be needed to take care of the great
throng in the city during the Encampment.
There will be little business done in the
Departments while the crowd is here, and
to refuse the comrades leave of absence is
wanton spitefulness.

FARMERS, ATTENTION
A SLENDID PIPER VERY CHEAP.
The American Farmer from Now
until End Of 1892 for Is Cents.

= american Farmer is the Oldest agri-
cult. raj paper in America. having been
published in Baltimore since 1919.
Last Winter it passed into the hands of a
new management, who have greatly enlarged
and improved it. It lis now superb journal
Of 81 large pages, with a handsome cover
and finely illustrated. 1t is issued on the
LIST and Is Of each month, and gives a
larger amonnt Of better reading matter for
the money than any other agricultural paper
in the country. All the leading agricultural
writers c0nir.bate TO If, and great amounts
of money are constantly being expended to
secure the best available information on all
farming matters.
The AmricGn Farmer is thoroughly non
partisan in politics, but is a strong advocate
of protection upon every farm product which
comes into injurious omreti;ion with those
of foreign countries. 1t is particularly
earnest in ifs support Of the tariff on wool
and the Development of the sheep-raising
industry Of this country until cur own
farmers VIII supply every pound Of wool
and mutton that cur people require. 1t
deyotes considerable space every issue to
information in regard to sheep-raising and
the discussion Of matters Of interest to flock
owners. Besides this i. has departments
devoted TO Dairying, Poultry, Bee-keeping,
Horses, Swine, Grain-growing. Stock and all
branches Of farming.
One Of is peculiarly valuable features is
that it Publishes in every issue the latest
issued MAPS If the Weather Bureau, giving
the temperature and rainfall all over the
country for The previous two weeks. This
information Is of the utmost importance TO
every farmer ii Judging the probable course
of the mar6et. 1t is precisely the informa-
lion that The grain spectators have been
securing at great expense, in order to shape
their operations. By means of these maps
the readers Of Tie Americaa Farmer are
given just reliable information as to the
condition Of the crops everywhere as the
spectators and operators have, and thus
are placed in exactly as good position to
Judge the course OF the market.
In order TO give all the farmers of the
country an opportunity 10 become thor
oughly acquainted with the many merits of
TIE American Farmer, the management has
decided to axe the extraordinary offer TO
send the journal for the remainder Of 1892
to anyone sending them % cents This is a
great opportunity to get a vast amount of
unusually good reading matter for an in
significant sun.

WE Give BETTER" IN AMERICA.
Now we have science come to demonstrate
how much better and more extensively the
American common people live than their
European brethren. Scientists have agreed
upon unit of food value, which they term
caloric." They say that the smallest rations
of the American workingman have an aver
age of $500 calorics of energy per man per
day, while the average of European dieta-
ries is from 100 to 1000 per day; thus
showing that the nutritive value OF the
American food is about twice that of the
European. Prof Atwater says in regard to
this:
The dietary statistics taken with the collateral
facts lead to the inference that ordinary people
have with US what only the exceptionally well
fed have on the other side of the Atlantic-the
food they need to make the most OF themselves
and their work. Indeed. it is not safe TO say that
so far as the facts at hand 20 they imply very dis
tinctly that to the American workipgman Is vouch-
safed tho priceless gift which is denied to most
people Of the world, namely. the physical condi-
tions, including especially the liberal nourshmeht
which are essential to large production, high
wages. and the highest physical existence; and
that a corollary he has like opportunity for
intellectual and moral development and progress.
What science has deliberately arrived at
by its exact methods has been we'll known
to everyone who has made any observations
at all upon the subject.

months since his term expired. This is bad
news for England, whose servile tool he was,
and good news for the United States, to whom
he was inimical. He connived at the sur
render Of the Venezuela gold fields to Eng
land, and contemplated giving up the
mouths of the Orinoco. The English aided
his schemes to obtain unlimited power, and
at their bidding he opposed reciprocity with
this country. His fall will bring this coun-
try and Venezuela into closer relations.

SEVERE examples should be made of the
increasing class Of brutal husbands who,
after they have abused their own wives into
leaving them, cufminate their villainous
careers by numbering the poor women whose
lives they have made wretched. There needs
to be a radical change of public sentiment in
regard to these scoundrels They now re-
ceive entirely too much sympathy and pallia-
ton. A man who shoots, stabs, Or otherwise
maltreats woman is villain for whom
there can be no shadow of excuse. Hanging
is entirely too good for him, and burning at
the stake is nearer his deserts. In too many
instances these villains are the recipients of
mawkish sympathy, and women them.
selves are ready to say "his wife was
partly to blame" This can never be an
excuse There are undoubtedly bad
wives, but the number is vastly fewer than
that of bad husbands. Women, as rule,
are much truer to the family relations than
men are. But bad as woman may be, there
can be no justification of the use of violence
against her by her husband. The world is
wide-very wide-he is not compelled to
live with her and suffer from her misdeeds.
He can go his way, and leave her to go hers

ALEXANDER MONROE DoCKERY, of the
Third District of Missouri, has by an I'M
fortunate confederation of circumstances
gotten into position where he can make
his ini,at6 dislike of the veterans effective
As msmber of the House Committee on
Appropriations he has been made one of the
House eopferees. on the bill to appropriate
100000 TO aid the citizens of Washington
in entertaining the National Encampment
He opposes the appropriation, tooth and nail
Of course, he has variety of reasons-all
good and sufficient according to his way of
Huntington his course, but his main reason
is inveterate repugnance to doing anything
for the benefit of the men who committed
the GROWING offense of defeating his friends
| and acquaintances upon the field of battle.
Mr.. Dockery has the bitter feeling against
| veterans of men who staid at home during
the war, and did not take up arms on either
side. The ex-soldicrs would get much better
treatment from a man who actually fought
them in the field than they can hope for
from one who, like Dockery, lived in the
region of active hostilities during the entire
struggle, and yet took no part liz the fight
ing. He was born in Daviess County, No.
in 1916, and was therefore of military age
during the war, but he calmly pursued his
medical studies while the conflict was SURG
ing around him, and graduated from the st.
Louis Medical College in 1865, just as other
young men of his age were graduating from
| the battlefield. In the 81 years since Thea
he has held Office nearly all the time, and has
been nine years in Congress. He not only
opposes taking any money out of the Ma
tional Treasury to aid the National Encamp-
ment, but even refuses to allow the people
of the District of Columbia to use their own
money for the purpose. In other words, he
opposes the proposition to appropriate the
entire amount from the money collected from
the taxpayers of the District Of Columbia.

FRENCH thinking men are startled by the
report of the Chief of Statistics that there
are annually more deaths than births in the
country. In 1890 there were $780, sos deaths,
and s3s,O59 births; or $3.50 more people
died than were born. This, too, was in
healthy year, in which there was neither
pestilence, famine nor war to ravage the
land. The main trouble lies in the French
aversion to large families. The rule is not
more than one or two children, and the av-
erage is $50 children to every 100 French
families, while the average in the other coun-
tries of western Europe is about 800 chill
dren to every 100 families. Unless the
French people can be got into different
way of thinking the downfall Of the coun-
try is not far off.

SONS OF VETERANS AT THE NATIONAL
ENGAGEMENT.

SONS OF VETERANS AT THE NATIONAL
| ENGAGEMENT.
A great meeting of the Sons of Veterans
| during the National Encampment is being
| talked Of The care of the Order has been
made part Of the work of the Committee
on Reunions and Maj. E. R. Campbell
formerly of the 11th VT, prominent Son,
and Major in the National Guard of the
District of Columbia-has been placed at
the head of subcommittee of Sons OF
Veterans of Washington to take care of the
visiting members of the Order. Various
plans are being considered as to these. A
handsome piece of greensward lying south
of the State Department has been assigned
for camp, and on this it is contemplated
erecting tents for the Commander-in-Ch Chief
and the various Divisions which may be
present in force. 1t is proposed that there
shall be grand parade of the Sons of Vet
Grams on Pennsylvania avenue on Monday
previous to the opening of the National
Encampment. Then, again, the work Of
caring for the 100000 or more veterans who
will be constantly gathered on the White
Lot during the progress of the Reunions,
will be most arduous one, and it is pro-
posed that much of this be done by the Sons
of Veterans, who can render very necessary
and most acceptable duty as Aids, guards,
escorts, Orderlies, etc. Several thousand
uniformed Sons will be needed for this duty
and they can perform it more appropriately
than anyone else can. In addition to its
being very necessary work, it will be de-
sirable duty, since much the greater part
of the interest of the National Encampment
Will center around the White Lot or Re-
union Place; all the surviving Generals and
other noted characters Of the great struggle
will be present to meet their old commands
and associates. Consequently, duty on the
grounds will be most desirable, as keeping
those performing it where they can see
everything and everybody of importance.
1t is hoped that every uniformed Son of
Veteran in the country will be present, and
help make the work of the Committee on
Reunions splendid success.

THE White Lot in Washington, the fine
mall on the south front of the White House,
and which is officially known as "The
Presidents Parade" is the place chosen for
holding all the Reunions during the Ma
tional Encampment. The fact that this
will in all probability be the only great
gathering of the volunteer soldiers and sail
ors ever held in the National Capital, and
that they will come from every section of
the country, and be the last time that tens
of thousands of them will ever see each
other or the city for which they fought, will
all combine to give the great Reunion a
peculiar historic interest and sacredness. It
is proposed to appropriately distinguish this
by so!emnly dedicating the White Lot, be-
fore the Encampment begins, as the Great
Reunion Place of the Soldiers and Sailors
Of the War Of the Rebellion" The National
Encampment will begin ON Tuesday, Sept.
90. The present plan is that on Monday,
the 10Th, the Commander-in-C Chief, accom-
panied by his staff and the Chaplain-in-
Chief, will appear on the grounds, which in
the meanwhile have been prepared by the
erection of tents, etc, for the holding of
Reunions. After few explanatory remarks
the COMMUNICATIVE Chief Will direct the
ChapIain-in- Chief to proceed to dedicate the
grounds. This the latter will do with ap-
propriate religious ceremonies. He will be
assisted by such Department Chaplains as
are present, and all will be invited. Also,
there will be general invitation to all of
the old Chaplains of war times to be pres
ent and assist, and to the President of the
United States and his Cabinet. At the con-
clusion OF the ceremonies garrison flag
will be raised on tall fagpolein the center
Of the grounds, and be saluted by a battery
of artillery.

THERE has been much talk of the Presi-
dent inviting Gen. Felix Agnus, of Balti-
more, to place in the Cabinet. A better
selection could not be made. The General
was young Frenchman at the outbreak of
the war, who was full of admiration for our
free Government, and he at once decided to
do what he could to sustain it. He came to
this country, and in May, 1861, enlisted in
the 5th N. Y.-the famous Duryea
Zouaves-in which he was soon pro-
NOTED to Sergeant A few months later
he was given commission as Second
Lieutenant, and in July, 1862, he was pro-
NOTED to First Lieutenant He left the
regiment to accept Captaincy in the 1S5th
NY. He distinguished himself in this, and
came back at the close of the war in COM
mand of the regiment. He was brevetted
Lieutenant Colonel for gallantry at Gaines's
Mills, Colonel for gallantry at Port Hud-
son, and Brigadier-General for gallant and
meritorious service during the war. After
the war he entered the office of the Balti-
more american, and has been owner and
manager of that paper for many years. 1t
is the leading Republican paper south of
Macon and Dixon's Line, and paper of
great circulation and influence. His APP
pointment would be very gratifying to the
Maryland Republicans, whose battles he has
led so long and so skilfully.
