BOISE SENTINEL: With American
silver demonetized, and British gold
the sole standard of value; with
American raw material on the free
list, and protection for the manufac-
tured commodity, which belongs to
English capitalists, makes this pref
,y good government from an English
standpoint, don't it?.. Grover
Cieveland's message appeared in
England first; that was right; it was
an English message anyway. After
they endorsed it he was at liberty to
submit it to his American subjects.
His position on the Hawaiian ques-
ton pleased England; his position on
the silver question pleased England;
on the tariff she was more than pleas
ed. Consequently nothing remained
for his American subjects but to bow
submissvely TO the rule OF the 1or-
eigners.. New York has from l50,-
900 to 800, 900 destitute and starving
poor, who must be supported by char
ity. The St. Louis Republic says
there are 100000 in that city. There
are about the same number in Chica-
90. The iron miners in northern
Wisconsin and Michigan are starv'
ing. The people in western Kansas
are in the same condition. This is
the inevitable result of a contracted
currency. While Grover Cleveland
and his gold bug crew promised us
prosperity, they actually give us star
vation.

\ Saving OF shoes.

An experienced shoemaker says

She Wrote Too We'll.

In an after-dinner talk, as report
ed by the Boston Transcript, a lady,
whose hand writing has never driven
her publisher TO request the use
OF "A typewriter. told a most amusing
story Of what happened once, because
she wrote a hand as finished and legi-
bic as cOpperplate. While she was
in England, at a friends country
house, a former maidSeryant wrote
10 her hostess, requesting a written
character" The hostess was glad
t. comply with the request, but be-
ing for the moment much engaged,
she asked her visitor TO write the

About a fortnight later, we were
interrupted at an afternoon tea 10y
the parlor maid, who said that sarah

had been sent-was in the ball, in

and begging TO see Mrs. -, my

found the girl in an agony OF shame
and distress.

The proper feeding OF horses is a
very important operation 10 the
farmer. i. NJ. Shelton, OF the Aus
tralian Station at Brisbane. reports
the experiment of a transfer com
pany, as to the practical results Of
the value OF cut hay in comparison
with uncut In the experiment,
3. 600 horses were fell "A daily ration
consisting OF sixteen pounds OF ground
oats, and seven and One-half pounds
OF cut straw. A second lot Of =, 900
horses were fed nineteen pounds Of
oats not ground, and thirteen pounds
OF hay not cut. 1t was found that
the horses that ate the twenty-siX
pounds OF ground oats and cut straw
and cut hay, kept in equal condition
and did the same work as those that
had thirty-Uwo pounds OF uncut hay
and whole grain. 1t was calculated
that the grain for Il, 900 horses using
cut feed would have amount d to ,
cents a day for each horse, or $500 per
day for the entire stable. In these
large stables every detail was scien-
tifically and systematic a ly per-
formed and the most careful economy
practiced. 10 ordinary practice, the
cost OF cutting the hay and grinding
the grain would be much greater. and
becess arily the individual gain would
