His Opinion Of the Decisions Rem
dered at Toledo.
SCRANTON, Pa. April j. Grand Mas
ter Workman Powderly had not seen
the decision in the case of Engineer
Lennon at Toledo until his attention
was called to it by a reporter.
THAT decision" said Mr.. Powderly,
s'shows, as I have said before, that the
principle of government ownership of
railways is being recognized by the
courts. While the decision ID apparently
against the men, it emphasizes our po-
sition that the government has the
right TO supervise the railroads. Now
it IL q poor rule that won't work both
ways.
Railroads Are Anarchists.
"'The interstate m law was
passed for the purpose Of controlling the
railroads. but mp to date no railroad has
paid any attention TO the Law. An
anarchy of the worst kind has prevailed.
BY that I mean q total disregard for the
law, and that ID what the corporations
charge against the anarchists"
THE courts hold themselves In readi-
ness to obey the viii of the corporation
when . charge is made against the
workmen, but no effort is made to carry
out the mandates Of the law when the
provokers Of strikes. the corporations,
violate the law. This is Columbian
year, and we have invited the repre-
sentatives Of the worlds monarchies TO
visit MS i'm order that we might show
them how afree people govern them
selves. They will go home with q bot
ter idea of how easily a people may be
governed by a few while resting under
the impression that they were govern
ing themselves Since the interstate
commerce law went into effect, but one
freight agent has been fined for q viola-
ton of its provisions.
Expects q Change OF Front.
In speaking of the effect Of the deci-
sion upon the Brotherhood OF Locorno-
tive Engineers, Mr.. Powderly said:
Il believe that the result will be there
will be a change of front, and eyentu-
ally q federation of all railroad
employees. An organization of rail-
road men viii then be effected which
will seek not only to protect them
selves. but the country. The members
will take a hand in electing judges and
other officials, as at present the Judges
have it in their power to override the
will of the people as expressed by the
representatives in the legislature.

On the Decisions OF Judges Kicks ana
TAN.
PHILADELPHIA, April 5.-Comment-
ing on the Ann Arbor decisions The
Press says:
Judges Kicks and Taft. like Judge
Billings in New Orleans in dealing with
the freight handlers strike, hold that
the interference Of labor organizations
and labor generally with free traffic
cannot be permitted. This is Just. No
man, no men and no corporation has d
right to check free movement on q pub
lie highway, which a railroad is. The
decisions now made do not touch ON
the wholesale refusal OF railroad opera
tives to discharge public duties by q
concerted and simultaneous resignation
from the service of the company. In
time this will be prohibited by the
courts. or by law or by both. A man
Is free to leave any employment he de-
sires, but he cannot abuse this freedom
to the public injury. There are certain
employments. like the army and navy
and the work OF seamen, which men
cannot leave ut will. In due time rail-
roads viii be added to the list.
The SUNS Comment.
BALTIMORE, April 5.--The Sun has
this TO say Of the Ann Arbor decisions:
The incident suggests the growth Of an
opinion in the courts that the trans-
portation> service il of a semi-public
character and Is not to be inconsider-
ately interfered with for the further
ance Of the private interests OF railroad
employees. however just tie demands 81
such employees may be. Discrimination
is against the public interest whatever
the motive.

LOOK AEIER The STOCK.

There Il no season Of the year when
stock needs more thoughtful attention
than ut the present time. The outdoor
supply Of feed IL substantially exhaust
ed, yet too many farmers are reluctant
to furnish full supply from
other sources, aud too often let more OF
less Of their stock run down In condl-
tlon and shrink In weight for the want
Of it when they ought to be gairlng.
This Il frequently seen with colts, young
cattle aud sheep. a few days since we
saw the owners taking their colts from
short back pasture where they have been
starving for weeks, and until thev were
reduced to a condition from which II
will take careful nursing and good feed
for large part Of the winter to regain
what has been lost. Sheep are left In
barren pastures or to grub on frost bit
ten grass so long ss the ground remains
bare. Possibly they may fiud enough
with which TO fill up, but Il IL innutrl-
tious material and left to II alone they
are shrinking every day. Young cattle
Ia many cases come to the barn with
less pounds Of weight than they carried
the month before. All this is wrong.
All the animals Of whatever kind should
be kept thriving and gaining, whatever
the season. IL pays to give that care
aud feed that circumstances and condi-
tions call for. Many times very slight
addition to what they are getting is all
that Is called for aud will make the
difference between gain and loss.
Shelter from storms should also be
provided at this season Of the year.
This IL especially important with sheep.
After cold weather comes on sheep
should not be allowed to get vet. III
one would have n fine thrifty flock atten-
tion must be given to these matters, trif-
ling though they may appear. There IL
no room for neglect With any of our
domestic animals.-Msine Farmer.

We were agreed that our enterprise
must be kept q ''dead secret" from oil In
the village and all our own family In or

Reous and ever blooming joke. Even my
mother and sisters must remain In the

In consequence Of this understandings
I the next week set out for England. In
a note to Prudence told her was go
ing to the land Of our ancestors on
mission of great importance to my fa'
ther, and one that would be quite al
important to ourselves. Az 1t was my
fathers business, I was not at liberty to
enter into particulars, but she would
probably be able to get an inkling OF II
from Rev. Nantucket Sperm or Captain
Shrimp, at whose houses my father Wis
tied.
Ny father gave out that had gone to
the mother country on business OF his
own. He wore n very solemn face when
he said was going ON grave" mission.
I was going. as he said, to perform q
solemn duty which had too long been
neglected. q duty which his forefathers
had failed to perform owing to various
hindrances. and one which he himself
had too long deferred. Further than this
he declined to explain, except that my
mission involved duty to one long since
dead. venerated ancestor.
This of course soon found Its way into
tho mouths Of the village gossips, rs was
intended. My father being on rather In.
innate terms with the .'neutrals,' Cap
tain Shrimp and Rev. Nantucket sperm,
he did not mind telling them thus much

gard to tho occasion Of my visit to Eng
land.

The DAIRY BUSINESS.

The strong PRICES which have ruled
for butter and cheese during the whole
summer, even la face of the worst finan-
cial crash the country has seen for iifty
wears, are "a wonder to great many.
Every branch of agriculture has Its ups
and downs, but We have never seen
period Of depression Ia dairy products
that carried the price below profit In
production but once la thirty-six years.
That occurred In the early part Of 1879,
when cheese, for some unaccountable
reason, went down To live aud six cents,
but took a sudden rise In the latter part
Of July to good paying price, which u
has steadily maintained ever since.
Every Kind of grain raising, meat pro-
duction, wool growing, the raising oi
hops or tobacco seem to be affected with
FREQUENT periods Of depression, when the
price goes below the cost of production.
This Is true at the present time OF WOOL,
tobacco aud wheat. Indeed, both wheat
and wool have been In the dumps Tor
two or three years.
The production Of butter and cheese
presents a cheering contrast In this par

FEEDING STEERS FOR MARKET.

Farmers who had dehOrned them when

A few days ago two enterprislng farm
ers FROM an upper krnnebec town APP
peared at one Of our SUCCESSFUL butter
factories, soliciting the privileges Of join-
Ing the ranks Of the patrons of the
factory aud contributing their crram To
the general supply. These farmers, u
few years age, we're enthusiastic steer
fanciers, anu gave their principal efforts
to the raising and growing OF fancy
white-faced steers. Formerly the de-
mand for that class Of stock Was sharp,
prices were high, aud the business emi-
nently profitable aud satisfactory.
interviewing these farmers, Il was
learned they had given up the growing
Of steers entirely on account Of the low
prevailing prices for beef, aud had stock
ed up with cows for the dairy business.
They no longer found their former busi-
ness profitable, aud had changed to con-
form To conditions existing AZ the pres
ent time.
While farmers cannot be justified In
dodging from year To year from one
thing To another With every turn In
prices, yet it certainly Is not advisable
that they become so welded To the
grooves In which they have been run
uiug, that they cannot alter their course
I'm conformity to the manifest demands
Of the permanent changes which time Is
bringing upon their business. Ii has
now been so long since unlimited corn
aud grain production, combined Win
the range business, has controlled the
value Of cattle, that IL IL no longer a
question but permanent change has
taken place, and that old-tiine prices
will not sgain obtain so long as existing
conditions coutinue. Nor does IL appear
that any such change can be looked Tor
In the near future. With this view IL
uould seem To be hopeless effort for
farmers 10 pursue the bsef business as a
chief dependence on their farms, aud the
action oi the tao farmers referred To,
aud others doing the same, u Ia every
seuse tn be Justified. so long as bcef
