One thing that astonishes northern
farmers when they come south is the
fact that less than-one-half Of our crop
Is never saved, nor attempted to be
saved. It is we'll established that tho
grain contains' less than .one-half the
nutriment Of the entire plant, and yet
hardly any attemptis made anywhere
in the south to save anything but the
grain and few blades. The ears are
taken. and the rest of the plant is left
in the field to blow away or turn 70
wood. The ears are then shelled and
the cobs thrown away. Was there
ever such waste? Can people prosper
who deliberately pursue such q course?

The court of arbitration on the Behring
sea question began its sessions on Tuesday
at Paris with squabble over the Elliott re-
port on the seal question, which our State
Department was said some years ago to have
suppressed because it did not favor Mr.
Blaines contention. 1t was agreed that it
should be produced. There is complaint
also that the Russian documents on which
the last administration largely based its
claims to exclusive Jurisdiction over Behring
sea were translated most wretchedy. A
good translation, 1t is asserted, wrecks eur
case. 1t would have been pity If we had
gone TO war for want of an accurate linguist
in our State Department. The sealing com.
pany, which had a monopoly of the seal
catching business, originated, it appears, the
idea that other nations had no rights in the
North Pacific, and our State Department
took it up at the company's solicitation
That absurd theory having been adopted
there was hot hunt for arguments to sus
tain it, and a misleading translation of
Russian dispatch was to be expected.

Friday Morning...."....-April Z, 1888
1T Is TIME TO STOP.

An exchange rises to remark that 1t is
time to stop the outflow Of money from the
public treasury Tor pensions, and wonders
why Mr.. ClevelS11 does not hurry up and
sppoint q suitable man TO take charge Of the
Pension Bureau, that stop may be put to the
leaks in that department Of the public ser.
vice.
The exchange is right in the proposition
as TO the necessity Of stopping the leaks, &c,
but it is all wrong TO suppose that it is q
case where any hurry is required. Mr..
Cleveland knows the needs Of the Lour, and
when he finds such a man as In his judg-
ment will fill all the requirements Of the
Office, will appoint him. No arm of the
service stands in greater need of atten-
ton than that of the Pension Bureau, it is
true, and in good time it will have such at
tention given 1t as will release the people
of much Of its burdens.
At present the revenue for pensions alone
by the government is virtual tax of $l5
upon every voter in the country, and the
wild and reckless expenditures of the bureau
are draining the treasury dry, all this, how
ever, must have an end, and Mr.. Cleveland
is the man who can and will do 1t.

TwO qOOD APPoINTMKNTs

President Cleveland deserves the thanks
of every Democrat for having appointed ex.
Secretary Bayard as Ambassador to London
and Gov. Porter, formerly Assistant Secre
tary Of State, as Minister to Chilli.
OF Mr.. Bayard we need say but little
His work is national property. Everybody
knows him and all believe that the Presi-
dent could not have made better selection
for that important position. Besides, Mr.
Cleveland has most likely thought of the
fact that Senator Bsyard's acceptance Of the
Office Of Secretary Of State, against the wishes
of many of his best friends, removed him
IRON the line Of presidential succession
That appointment is, therefore, but slight
recompense for the great loss he and the
party sustained in 1886, when he went into
Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet.
The appointment of Gov. Porter will be
hailed with joyous EXPLANATIONS from all
the Spanish sister republics, and especially
from brave little Chill. 1t shows that q
new policy will be followed by the present
administration toward them, and the terms
Of the Egans have passed.
1t will also be the beginning of new
commercial era in the southern half Of
this hemisphere, for we believe that the
President will send no persons as ministers
to the other South American republics who
are not of similar calibre as Gov Porter
and who will not act in harmony with him

The recent epidemic of colds, sore throats
and kindred complaints is said to be due to
the disappearance of snow and the exposure
of the mud and filth in the large cities. The

germs which people take into their systems

that the country presents a good field for
the cholera, the coming OF which is dreaded

Under these circumstances II is gratifying
to know that the government has not been
neglectful so far as immigration is concerned,
and that proper measures to keep out the
cholera have been taken as far as possible
by the stea mship companies. Through i'm
migration, Of course, lies the greatest dan
ger The companies determined upon this
as the wisest course after their experiences
last summer, when their vessels were kept
long time in quarantine and there was
much trouble and expense.
The new immigration law passed by the
last Congress is an additional safeguard.
