Neither claims nor believes any cause for

Remunerative Farming.

A correspondent of the Charleston, 8.

are great many farmers throughout the
State who seem to think that there is no
ready money in any thing except cotton.
Now, in order to relieve those who are
laboring under this impression, desire
to call their attention to the varinusc ana
produced last year by H.. p. Galphi

than either of tho other crops. He re.

tie expense attsched to its production.
Every farmer should have his barn filed
with clover hay. 1t is an excellent feed
for all stock, especially cattle. Milk
cows thrive on it. 1t increases the flow
of milk and produces beautiful rich yel-
low butter. Mr.. Galphin has fattened
aud killed several fine hogs, and says
that he has plenty of this valuable and
indispensable article of food to supply
him this year.
IL did not ascertain from Mr.. Galphin
the amount of his expenses incurred in
producing these crops, but It would be
safe to say he cleared over and above ex-
pcnses at least 81 900 to the mule, which
must be admitted by all as very fine
farming. If every farmer would adopt
Mr.. Galphin's plan We would have no
use for the Alliance nor the Ocala plat
form, the sub treasury bill or nothing OF
the kiud, but would be happy, indie
pendent people, and tho cry of oppres.

that it may prove bencfoiat- 10 somoP poor

crops, that he made thirty bushels OF

WARRINGTON, ID. C.-To prominent
Western Congressman, who talked with
Postmaster General Bissell concerning his
policy as to removals, the latter said:
ut is not the intention of the. admin.
istrStion to remove any postmasters until
their term of Off has expired, except
for terious cause"
"Will offensive partisanship be accept
able cause2" was asked.
II don't cay it will not" said Mr. Bis
sell, 'but every case will have to stand
on it's own merits, aud it will have to be
grave case b, fore a removal is made.
The fact that a postmaster has taken in
tcrcst in the work of his party will not,
think, be cons dcrcd sufficient cause;
but as l have said before, every case
must stand by itself. Complaints of in
competency, neglect of business or ab-
solutc misuse of po,i'irp with certainly

that the recommend ,tion of members Of
Congress. would not, per sc, give 1t
preference over others. The Po .tmaster-
General added that the department had
promu gated general rule, under which
postofficcs would not be given to keepers
of stores. Mr.. Bissell said that he did
not mean that the rule should apply to
small villages in distant States. where,
unless some storckccper would handle tho
mail, no ono could be induced to accept
the Office; but he did most emphatically
intend to refuse to appoint any postmas-
tcrs, presidential or otherwise, who
would not give their personal attention
to the business of handling the mail and

AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY.

The Riverside Enterprise thinks the sill
yer question laid low for period OF time.
1t considers the problem as solved ''The
free-coin age people," the ENTERPRISE says,
must first secure q reopenipg of their
case before they can press it." The CALL
thinks the Enterprise inclined to attach
too much i'm mportance to the vote to repeal
the silver purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act. That clause was obnoxious to
MANY friends of silver for the reason that
it recognized silver as commodity. The
principal argument in its favor was that
1t would tend to maintain the price of sill
yer until such time as Congress might put
the two national platforms in the form Of
law. Silver is as much a question as ever,
though 1t is not considered possible to
frame a practicable coinage bill that will
obtain the Presidents signature. But
President Cleveland is at present an un-
known quantity. He carried his opposi-
ton to the Geary registration act to the
extent of causing it to be Dullified, and a
few months later signed the McCreary
bill. The principal difference between
the two is that one had been declared con-
stitutIonal. while the other has yet to come
before the Supreme Court. Possibly
when the board has been swept clear

SOUND CURRENCY.

An administration paper has the follow

In this crazy quilt of currency legislation we
have the original greenback legal tenders, sill.
yer certi1cates under the b land law, treasury
notes under the Sherman law and silver dol
lars, all resting on a narrow basis of treasury
reserve OF gold. 1t Will be the task OF the
statesman and finaDcier TO bring order out of
this chaos and to establish the currency OF the
country on a consistent fouadation.
One of the first steps to be taken, in the
opinion Of the Journal quoted from, is TO
redeem greenbacks aud treasury notes. 1t
is declared not in the province of this
Government to issue paper currency and
make it a legal tender for debts. The
alternative of greenbacks or some other
form Of Government notes is q national
bank currency or State bank currency.
The former seems imnossible, for the
reason that the bonded public debt is in
sufhcient to serve as security for the VOL
ume OF currency needed. With gold as the
sole money in which currency can be re-
deemed. the necessity Of good security is

DOCTORS DIFFER.
The Isolation of Cases of
Consumption: !.
Some Approve While Others Think
the Proposed Course Would be
Unnecessarily Harsh.

The proposition to introduce resolution
at the next annual sanitary convention
CHASING consumption among the con-
tagious diseases to be reported to local
health officers as soon as recognized. and
guarded against as infectious, is already
being discussed among our prominent
physicians.
DR.. w. F. McNutt considers that tn g
step would be very proper one. as con-
sumption is undoubtedly contagious. and
official knowledge of existing cases would
tend to decrease the number OF its victims
The official noti6catiOn at present in use
is, in DR.. McNutt's opinion, unsatisfac-
tory, in that it requires a physician ito
report to the Health Officer In writing

saying ''other contagious diseases" the

typhoid fever and consumption, should be
specifically mentioned that especial atten-
tlon may be called TO them. One OF the
:
the Board Of Health of cases of consump-
tion is that the attention of the patients
family and friends would be called to the
absolute necessity of destroying ali traces
of the sputum, which, when dried; con-
talns countless germs of the dread disease,
which float in the air and fiud lodgnent in
the systems of other persons.
DR.. Fred w. D'Evelyn of the University
of California and the San Francisco Poly
clinic said as follows: THE desirabiIlty
of such a measure is both self-evident and
urgent, because statistics prove beyond
question that these germ diseases are
capable OF communication by contact such
as is necessitated by persons nursing pa
tients suffering from such diseases. While
a measure demanding the reporting of
such cases would no doubt be generally
beneficial 1t might lead to abuses, and to
become popular would need to be most
carefully framed"
Speaking of the present usage DR..
D'Evelyn said: "If the instructions which
are always given by all careful physicians
to those in charge of consumplive patients
as to the destruction or diSiufection of ar
tices and cloths with which their sputa
comes in contact were faithfully followed
the risks of contagion would be in great
measure reduced. In fact, without the
intelligent Cooperation of all persons con-
